ager Of Jolly Fat Mems Club, but who
recently resigned 10 open a liquid re-
freshment resort at Tenth and + streets
northwest.
Fry while with the club. was a hust-
Ter, and was largely responsible for the
big boom in bowling now prevailing in
Washington, ana especially for the
strong team which represented the club
last year IN the District league. Last
night he was summoned TO the club by
telephone to appear before the directors
and answer questions cn "a serious and
important matter"
The genial William was somewhat
worried when he reached his old head
quarters. and was kept on edge for a
time. but then the fake fTOWns gave
way 10 grins Of amusement and he wa
presented with a handsome solid gold
Masonic emblem to be used as a watch
charm He expressed his thanks for the
unexpected ending OF his visit, and while
carelessly handling the box in which
1t had been contained. came near losing
$50 in real money which was buried un-
der the cotton.

Blue AND GRAY
RECEIVES SHAKE-UP
Rice Goes to Stroke, Re
placing Stuart.
MAKES BIG IMPROVEMENT
Two Sides Are Now More Evenly Bal
anced-Men Are Light But Are
Developing Speed Rapidly.
MAKES BIG IMPROVEMENT

The expected shaBe-up in the George
town crew came this week when Rice.
the veteran NO. I. was changed first
from port tc s.arboard. and finally from
No. on the starboard side to stroke.
Scott was put in the second boat in
favor of Fitzgerald. who moved from
No. 10 No. (. Stuart descended from
stroke to No. 6, and Degnon and Ed
munds were promoted to the port side
in the varsity boat where they are now
rowing at No 8 and l, respectively.
Rice Now Stroking.
The great surprise was the advance
ment Of Rice from No. TO strobc. It
was generally supposed that John Stuart
had the better idea OF time and a great
er reserve power. But Rice is the strong
er and has a longer reach, and with such
light crew everything Will depend on
the stroke.
The displacement Of Scott. who IS a
big. husky lad. and an experienced oars
man, was unlocked for. The acVon may
he only temporary and may have been
made To give some of the other star
board men a thorough try-out.
Starboard Was Weak.
Ever since the race at Annapolis and
the so-Called Henley boat was picked,
starboard has been uoticeably weak. On
that side were Scott. Fitzgerald. Lynch.
and Mclaughlin; against them were
Degnon. Foy. La Plant. and Moran.
IN the new boat Edmunds who. though
a good man. has not been rowing regu-
larry displaces Moran; Stuart and Rice,
veterans, replace Scott and Mclaughlin.
Thus the sides are now more even
and the boat is materially strengthened.
although Nos. s and on the starboard
side are stronger in the stern. and Nos.
the bow De GuiEne, the coxswain Of
the Georgetown Props last year, also
replaces Landry as coNswain Of the new
varsity boat.
Changes Work Well.
Considering that the men were all
new 10 their places yesterday. and that
Rice. although stroking. vas rowing
starbOarG for the second time this year,
the boat went nicely. The stroke was
longer than usual. the men had a fine
body swing. and held down their slides

BIRD MlGRATIONS.
Some Do Not Dare Travel by Day.
 Night Has It's Dangers, Too.

The birds that are surest and swiftest of wing, as the swallows, do not hesi- tate to travel by day. Those less strong of wing and of conspicuous plumage dare not risk the daylight.
 But the night migrations have their special dangers, too. The gas and electric lights of cities and towns. with the net work of wires In their vicinity. to say nothing of church spires and lighthouses, are the cause of many bird disasters dur ing migration time.
 These same lights prove a friend to many of our night foragng birds during the insect season, when good meal is al- ways easily secured In their vicinity.
 Many screech owls have been seen around these lights in town the present summer, says a writer in Good Health. Their whereabouts during the day was alway easily traced by the excitement of the birds in that locality.
 One morning we were awakened by a clamor among our birds the special cause of trouble seeming to center in two large maple trees. This continued all day and do the best we could nothing could be discovered to warrant such tumult. The mystery was explained when dusk came on and number of screech owls began making investigations In our birdhouses
 We captured one of the owls and kept it long enough to observe some inter esting things, chief of which was the double set of lids with which nature has provided these particular birds The un- der lids look as if they might have been made from mica and are edged with lit tie dark line. These serve to subdue the strong light of day which is so trying to owl eyesight The outer lids close only In Sleep,

Beggar of khiva.

From Langdon Warmers "Khva from the
 Inside In the October Century.
 Once in an open sqpare. where the dust pail forbade sight of death, I directed my steps toward the source of a throb- ping roll that ceaselessly wove itself in with the noise of voices and the pat tering of unshod feet of beasts. As I neared it, the noise became detached from the hubbub a distinct and individual thing, which insstently claimed atten- ton, and made the very notes in the air dance to time. Under willow tree by the watcrditch that defined the s>luare, sat a bent old man, unbelievably ragged. So torn were his many khalats that they did not seem like constructed garments at all, but strings of tatters and tags col leeted and hung on his breast, and his eyes were half-closed. On his stomach was a wooden bowl. with skin drum head stretched across it. and on this drum-head he beat necessarily with his knuckles and his fist. The motion was so automatic and deadly regular in it's recurrent changes that 1t seemed almost as if he were a clockwork figure set at the edge of the busy market to record the passage of time. l flung some copper on the brass begging-tray by his side, and went off, unconscously adjusting my steps to his beating. He made the trivial barter and the driving of laden animals seem vapid and futile, and my bit of charity sickened me. It was as If I had happened along and patted Socrates on the back.
