The Dodo in life was a very fool
ish bird and in death it has had a
varied experience. Indeed. for quite
two centuries the world believed that
the Dodo had never really existed, that
he was a myth, pure and simple, and
it required the most active efforts of
scientific men to restore the belief
that the Dodo ever was.
In the United States there is one
skeleton of a Dodo, one of the three
or four in all the world. This may
be seen by any visitor to the National
Museum in Washington. The accom-
panying illustration shows the Dodo
skeleton on the work bench of Jo-
seph Scollick, who for thirty years
has been working with the skeletons
of birds in the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
The Dodo was discovered by the
Portuguese when they first visited the
Island of Mauritius above 1907. They
found the island to be thickly popu-
lated by huge pigeons as big as
swans, but seemingly without intelli-
gence. They named them "Doudo,"
which is Portuguese word meaning
'simpleton."
The most that is now known of the
external appearance of the Dodo is

HOW IDARKENED MY
GRAY HAIR
Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That
She Used to Darken Her Gray
Hair

For years I tried to restore my gray
hair to It's natural color with the pre-
pared dyes and stains. but none of
them gave satisfaction and they were
all expensive. 1 finally ran onto a
simple recipe which mixed at home
that gives wonderful results. I gave
the recipe, which is as follows, to n
number of my friends, and they are
all delighted with 1T. To z ozs. of
water add a small box of Barbo Com
pound, 1 OF. of bay rum and u or.
of glycerine. These ingredients can
be bought at any drug store at very
little cost. Use every other day un-
til the hair becomes the required
shade, then every two weeks. 1t will
not only darken the gray hair, but
removes dandruff and scalp humors,
and acts as a tonic to the hair. 1t is
not sticky or greasy, does not rub off
and does not color the scalp.-Adver-
tisement.

derived from the paintings made by
Roland Savery, who about 1926 paint
ed several pictures from a living cap
tive Dodo. The lass living Dodo was
exhibited in London in 1898, and the
last evidence of their existence on the
island of Mauritius was recorded in
the journal of Benjamin Harry in
1851. Hogs had been introduced by
the Dutch settlers into the island. and
they soon made short work of the
big, clumsy birds and their eggs. The
race died out.
In 1865 some British scientists made
an expedition to the island of Mauri-
titus which resulted in the discovery
of great many Dodo bones. These
were distributed among the various
scientific societies of the world, and
one of the skeletons made up from
these remains is shown in the accom-
panying picture.

lingo was spotted calf that be-

children had pleaded so hard that
they got permission to keep him.
By great care and the help of

in the SKINNED milk which they fed
him, he grew to be strong fellow.
He was great pet and very gen

draw tiny cart, with thills, har-
messed into a funny little yoke, and
they had two lines attached to his
stubby horns to guide MIN.
One day the children took Jennie's
doll and Kinky, the kitten, out for
a ride Jennie had dressed the kitten
up in some of her dolls clothes.
They drove out to the maples-a
grove about half a mile from home.
Aunt Laura had asked the children
to bring her some bright autumn

did not like her dress and bit at it
and scratched her bonnet off.

iful golden and red leaves, the very
brightest and prettiest they could
find, and Jennie made wreath for
her hat and stuck some of the
brightest leaves in Jerry's hatband.
Then they put the doll and Kinky
on the leaves in the cart and start
ed for home. jerry drove and Jennie
pushed behind and held the kitten s
bonnet on.
They had not gone far when a big
black dog jumped over the fence by
the side of the road and backed

didn't lingo jump? With a bawl he
lodged off to ore side away from
the dog, and Jerry went sprawling
off the cart in the ditch. lingo did
not stop to see if Jerry was hurt,
but ram for home with the cart now

frightened so badly i'm his life be-
