Color of Hair Said to a P«r

light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hall

The disposition of the average bald

for the welfare of others, that he nee

WHALERS GET NO WAGES.
The Crew Divides a Third of the Prof
its After Each Cruise.
The business principles of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex
cellent example of industrial co-opera
tion.
» A ship Is Stocked and equipped by
the owners, and the profits of the cruise
are distributed in the ratio of two
thirds to the capital invested and one
third to labor. No member of the
crew receives wages or a guaranty of
any sort, but to each is allotted a cer
tain share, termed the "lay," of the net
results.
In general, the captain's lay ranges
I froia a fifteenth to an eighth, accord
ing to his whaling record. The mate
and three lower officers, the four boat
steerers or harpooners, the cooper,
steward, cook, carpenter, seamen and
green hands receive proportionate
shares, and so dowu to the cabin boy,
whose lay is in the neighborhood of
one two-hundredth, called the "long
lay."
Thus the profit of each individual de
pends upon the success of the cruise.
Ships have sometimes failed to pay for
their fitting out. On the other hand,
the Onward of New Bedford once re
turned with a catch worth at the pre
vailing prices $395,000, of which the
captain's lay was $40,000 and that of
the least member of the crew about
$2,000.—Argonaut
FUTURE OF THE HUMAN FOOT.
la Man Destined to Lose His Toes In
the Course of Time?
That the iiumiin nice is slowly evolv
ing toward u condition of elubfooted
ness is suggested by Dr. Truman Abbe
of Washington in the .Medical Record.
Dr. Abbe points to the horse's hoof
and Its evolution from the Ave toed
foot of the prehistoric horse by the
dropping of one toe after another and ,
the consolidation of the hones from j
the knee down.
"When we look at the human skele
ton and compare the boue of the tibia
and fibula and the digits beyond each
of them." he continues, "it doe3 not
take much imagination to see suggest
ed In the slender fibula and the dimin
utive little toes an early stage lu the
reduction process, which if carried
further would lead to a diminution of
the number of toes on man's foot."
And he doses his article with these
words: "We tome thus to the sugges
tion of clubfoot as a tendency toward
the dropping of the post-axial digit
group of the lower limb. And this
dropping of a digit group would seem
to be flue to restricted development lu
the central nervous system—a factor
that has been at work since before the
days of the five toed horse."
Why You Eat Food.
Nine-tenths of our food is eaten to
supply heat and energy. The amount
of heat and energy required by indi
viduals Is reckoned In cnlories. The
most accurate way to determine how
much food to buy for a family Is to
figure how many calories the members
require. Tables of food values with
directions for using them are published
by both national and state agricultural
departments. There are also simple
textbooks that explain clearly the use
fulness of reckoning by calories.
These books are readily understood
after a little study of them When one
knows approximately how many calo
ries each memiier of the family re
quires and how many calories certain
amounts of food contain, one can set
tle with definite figures the old ques
tion that used to he answered by
guesswork only. "How much shall I
buy?"—Woman's Home Companion.
High and Low Ground.
According to the measurements and
^blculntions made by the United States
geological survey, Delaware is the low
est state, its elevation above sea level
averaging only sixty feet. Colorado is
the highest, averaging 0.S00 feet above
the sea. while Wyoming is a close sec
ond, only 100 feet lower than Colora
do. In minimum elcvatiou Florida and
Louisiana dispute second place after
Delaware, their average elevation be
ing 100 feet for each. Taking the Unit
ed States as a whole, our country lies
slightly above the average elevation of
the land of the globe.
Too Efficient.
"Flow is that etliciency expert mat
ing out over in tlie place where you
work?"
"He got the gate the very first day
he was there."
"What wus the matter? Was he In
competent?"
"No; be was too darned competent
He discovered that the boss was wast
ing half of our time telling us things
that we knew better than he did."—

ALASKA DEFENSE
COUNCIL IS
NIB
Governor Strong baa named *4
Alaska Territorial Council of De
fense composed of prominent citi
zens from the various towns of the
North. The Juneau member# will
seryh, tor the time being at lea*t,
as the executive council for the
entire territory.
In regard to the duties which
will devolve upon. th» cltlaentf thus
honored, the Governor^ xneasage
&avs, "The fact that we wo
moved from the scenes of war and.
of war preparations and war activi
ties elsewhere ahould not lessen our
Interest cr our desire to do what
ever v. e can to contribute to the
national defense and welfare in a
practical and efficient manner. The
activities of the various State coun
cils of national defense are man*
and varied, but chiefly they are
the unofficial bodtea for performing
the work of war in their respective
stg«es. They have formed Home
Guards to take the place of the
militia drafted Into federal service;
they havf added their srtength to
the movement for stimulating and
conseiving our supply of food and
other necessities; they have co
ordinated the work of innumerable
aij nud relief societies; they haT«i
extended aid to aliens, helped the
recruiting and Liberty Loan cam
paigners, and tackled the problems
of lAbti supply and industrial
med'aiton; but each council hW
Its own special needs a«d Its own
plan cf attack.
"As has been pointed out, the
conditions that the Territorial
Council of Defense will find in Alas
ka are such as are not met with
elsewhere, but which must be solv
ed in a practcal way whenever pos
sible. Opportunities for service will
appear from time to time which
are not nojv dreamed of."
