When the expedition first arrived j
in Tibet, he sstid. tribesmen professed j ,

after the Russians settled in their ? t
tents, the Tibetans made a surprise ,
attack on them in the middle of the j <t
night with 450 armed horsemen.
Kozloff's sentinel gave warning to; .
the sleeping explorers just in time ^
and the Russian* opened fire on the'-]
attackers, killing several. After i j j
gun battle lasting an hour, the tribes- j,
men fled to the hills, but not before ;
they captured most of the expedi
tior.'s rifles and ammunition.
"We traveled for weeks without '<
seeing a single human being," the ex- ;
olorer said. He had trained a large.!
hideous, but extremely intelligent ,
ape. which was made a member of the j
expedition.
Colonel Kozloff asserted that i

A Question Box
WHICH TYPE OF WOMAN |
ARE YOU?
There are many varieties of worn
to ?>e sure- But there are two
tstanding types with which we ,
? concerned today. The one who
calm, poised, and efficiently eon-j
cling the duties to which she has
s been assigned, and the other;
rried strained, rushing futilely
out. accomplishing little more than
inkles With her poor system of
inagcmeiit.
Invariably the woman who has no
rt of a system for her work is the
nr.an Who finds her days so taken
with work that she has no time
r anything e|se ?not a minute to
ad or to play. She is the woman,
u. who is cross and irritable and sc j
urn out hv the time night comes
at she is too tired to do anything
t go to bed. Naturally, her looks!
a*l suffer;
Tell the average woman that you j
vc heard of a new cream that will
use from her face all the lines of!
>rry and you will never know a wile's
rest until you have told her I
?erc it might be obtained. But tell |
tired, ringing woman that she can j
event tiny lines from creeping into
r face by adopting a system for hor
?rk, and she will laugh at you.
It may be broniidic, nevertheless.

; for the Ladies
it is true that system wins success.
The difference between the burners
and the people who really accomplish
big things and hold to youth and
beauty is in the system established
in the latter's lives. Every big woman
who has reached success has done
it by conserving her energy f*r the
important things, wasting nothing on
fruitless rushing about Not that she
excludes play. No indeed* she provides
for that as a necessary part of
her upkeep.
Begin your day the night before by
getting ;t full quota of sleep. Get up
in the morning and start the day
right by first planning your work,
thai you will have time to read?time
for friends?time for pleasure, and
tin..- for the observance of health
and beauty rules; eating slowly, for
one tlting, relaxing the muscles of j
the eye- and the body occasionally
during the course of a day's work,
brushing the hair night and morning-?al!
of which are very necessary
in keeping alive the spirit, of youth.
