The Greeks, famed as hunters, dyed their horses coats and their own garments green ish hue when stalking wild goats on the Spartan hills. The Angels and the SaXons, too, were famed as hunt CTS. They employed deception success fully by staining their faces and hands and mussing up their hair and beard to such an extent that wolves, foxes, deer and other game were led to ac- cept them as some species of the wild

Chats of Many Varieties.

The gnat is only one of the many species of mosquito known to dipter- ists. Altogether there are no fewer than 35 as described as natives of Eu- rope, while as many as 100 different varieties are scattered over the rest of the world. Of this large number some are known by the Spanish name of mosquito-that Is, little fly while others are content with the title of "gnat"; but from Il scientific point of view there is no difference between the insect known under these different popular names.

To Urge Dry Referendum.

The committee on municipal legisla-
ton was directed to appear before the
Senate subcommittee on the District
and ask that a referendum be held in
the District before action is taken re-
garding prohibition for the city. This
action was taken following the reading
of a letter from c. j. Columbus. secre-
tary of the District of Columbia Ref
erendum Association, urging that the
Chamber of Commerce take such a step.
The chamber already is on record as
favoring referendum for Washington.
A fiat rate of 81 for the yearly regis
tration of motor vehicles is to be urged
before Congress by special commit
tee consisting of Claude Miller. chair
man: s. A Kimberly, John q. Capers.
d. J. Kaufman and Joseph Berberich.
f. c. Graham explained to the directors
that il was desirable to have yearly
registration of motor vehicles. to pre-
vent dead numbers being used. He
said that the present rate provides for
sliding scale. according to the horse
power of the vehicle.
Two dollars a year is sufficient to
cover the maintenance of the annual
registration. he said. and tax already
is in existence which provides for
payment according to the value OF the
machine-namely, the tax on personal
property.

that what is urgently needed is a cen

for the activities of all the associa

Mr.. Wiseman declared that it has been
inactive and practically useless.

it the central mouthpiece for present
ing the needs OF the colored people Of

vised. Come together for discussion
of these needs in some such building

Oryanization of federation of col

of the results of the dedicatory eXer-

promote their interests through such a
central body was asserted last night
by Commissioner Brownlow in an adj
dress before an audience which filled
the large auditorium of the school.
The Commissioner made two speeches
during the course of the evening. His
first was of congratulatory nature
upon the completion of the building,
which he said he believed was the fin
est structure in the United States for
the secondary education of negro youth
The second followed an address by
the Rev. p. f. Wiseman in which some
references Were made to colored citi-
Zens' associations. This apparently in
