This is a nature-faking story for
folks who believe in fairies and wood
nymphs. no matter how old they are.
There Is fear in the hearts of the
four-footed folks In the Glen Miller
Zoo. Even the sunshine, which first
commenced to warm the animal pens
yesterday. and the soft air which
smelt of spring in the open places
couldn't dispel the fear
There hasn't been a single birth in
the Zoo colony this spring!
Fear Ravages Of Death
That's what causes the unrest In
the pens. The animals are afraid Of
race suicide There is vague dread
Of the future-a future when the COL
ony will be welded out by death and
new. strange set Of animals will
take its place.
Even the burly. frolicsome bears
couldn't shake of the spirit of depres-
sion today Old Pa Bruin ambles about
absent-mindedly. Perhaps the fresh
smell Of awakening sap may have
something to do with his vacant gaze.
But the dean of the colony has been
penned up too long to fret about such
immaterial matters as steel bars and
cement walls.
PA takes things to heart so," ex-
planned Missus Bruin, as she waddled
over to her mate and brushed him
affectionately with huge paw. HE
thinks the colony1l give out soon If
there aren't any births up on the hill"
Mother Rabbit Cleans House
"Up on the hill" in the language Of
the Zoo. refers to the cages on the
elevation above the bear pen.
Over in the rabbit pen there were
signs of housekeeping. Mamma Bun
ny was busting about the pen, in
ladylike leaps, setting things to rights.
But Papa Bunny was in deep reverie
from which he refused to be reused.
He lay prone on the warm straw
and wrinkled his pink nose reflective
~. But he refused to be quoted. Ap-
parently the question Of race suicide
didn't weigh heavily on his mind.
It is different with the leopard cats
st the south end of the row. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Leopard Cat were agitated
this morning.
Words In Leopard Family
II declare, it's an outrage, pa"

bits over there. They haven't chick
or child to share that big pen with.

Mr. Leopard grunted. 1t was evil

them.

BOARD PRESIDENT
SKATERS SILENCE;
JUMPS INTO RACE

There Il a new entry In the mayor.
atty contest,
Alfred Bavis. president Of tho board
OF public works. has announced that he
will make the race. as an independent.
against DR.. w. w. Zimmerman. Repub-
lican nominee, and Henry Farwig.
Democratic nominee. Bavis has is
sued the following statement:
To the Citizens Of Richmond
Has the city Of Richmond outgrown
that period when the office of mayor
was made to serve an unsatiSfying ap-
petite for power? Whose incumbency
was sought only to appease vanity.
with no regard to the seriousness OF
the duties involved? The indications
point very strongly to an awakening:
we begin to realize that nothing short
OF undivided attention to the care Of
the city business will suffice. The
best results are not obtainable when
the business Of our city is made side
line to some other profession, and In
view Of the fact. that IS per cent. Of
the mayors duties are pure business,
II must be apparent to all thinking
people. for city the size Of Richmond,
that IS per cent. of the mayors time
should be devoted to the care Of that
business every working day In the
year.
I repeat: "The indications point to
an awakening" which is borne out by
the apatheuc attitude Of the voters
at the recent primary election, and
the subsequent agitation for an indie
pendent ticket.
In response to q very substantial re-
guest have consented, reluctantly. to
enter the field as candidate for may
or ON Citizens ticket. approach the
responsibilities involved with more
than ordinary concern, for l feel that
future years are going to develop prob
lens that will call for close and In
telligent applications: a depth and
breadth Of mind; an attitude in har-
mony with the future development Of
our city along every line of endeavor.
In assuming this responsibility am
actuated solely by the desire to do
that which will be for the best inter
est Of the entire city.
At the earliest possible date win
make . clear definite statement Of
policies to be pursued, but feel it is
due to my friends to make a DECLARE
ton Of my intentions at once.

SPEAKERS EXCHANGE
BECOMES FEATURE
OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS

An appeal for support In new CO
operative Sunday school endeavor Will
be made tomorrow by Harry B.
Reeves, president Of the City Sunday
School association.
Details Of the plan which shall es.
tablish a sort Of speakers exchange
bureau as feature of the city associa-
ton are being completed.
Tentative program calls for the list
ing of all available speakers on num-
Der of subjects with the city organiza-
ton. These speakers will then be
subject to draft for appearance in
schools other than their own.
The workings of the system as ex.
planned by f. Harrison Scott. secre--
tary of the city association are as fol-
lows:
How New Plan viii Work.
If one school has five persons of
ability who will agree to visit three
other schools during the coming year
and make a short talk on missions or
temperance, for instance, that school
will be entitled then to draw upon the
list compiled by the association from
all other schools for a total of fifteen
speakers-the equivalent of what it
has contributed to the bureau.
This plan will place at the disposal
of department superintendent hunting
talent for special features at opening
and closing exercises great variety
of talent from all Sunday schools par
ticipating.
Another argument advanced in its
favor is that it will weld the Sunday
schools more closely together in their
common endeavor

PEPSIN NUX IRON and
SarsapariIla-Flne Course Of Medicine

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the desirability and diff.
Guilty Of combining iron--a superiative

The combination Of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been Sc

In this way the two medicines work
tremendously, giving four-fold results
in blood-cleansing and up-build1ng.
Peptiron Pills include pepsin and

The usual gait of the fox, unlike that
of the dog, is, at night at least, walk.
On such occasions he goes through
the fields in an alert, stealthy manner,
stepping about foot at time, and
keeping his eyes and ears open.

ORDINARY RAT is BLAMED FOR
SPREADING OF MANY DISEASES

Rowing habits of rats have bearing
upon the spread of disease. This has
been shown by experiments conducted
by the United States public health
service in plague epidemic work at
New Orleans
Several hundred captured rats were
marked by having their ears punched.
Care was taken not to render them
conspicuous, as fellow rodents wage
relentless war upon those which appear
different from their kind.
These rats were released in the
heart of the city and allowed to shift
for themselves. Trapping was carried
on in all sections of the city and each
rat was labeled as to the locality
caught. Fully one-quarter of the rats
made widespread excursions. Many
were caught at points from one to
four miles from where they We're set
free.
In one case a rat travelled 10 blocks,
crossing one of the widest and busiest
SlIttNS III tEit titNr NHSit vas Aio
underground passage. 1t was taken
within 660 hours after being let loose.
From the experiments it was con-
cluded that the semidomesticated rat
has migratory habits similar to wild
animals. Those habits are believed to
be influenced by abundance or scar
city of food or the presence of natural
enemies. 1t is also believed that GER
tain unexplainable instincts tend to
make the rat a wanderer.
The rowing habits of the rat eX-
planned many facts connected with the
spread of the plague
This is but another illustration that
the field of preventive medicine is es-
pecially broad. and that investigators
must be familiar with the life history

Arthur Dined often With a Friend.

In the old days presidents We're

Washington since the days of Madison
that president should not make per

should not attend any social functions
unless they We're virtually of national
size. or were intended 10 forward some
great charitable cause.
President Chester A. Arthur was n
socially inclined man. He wanted to
