HATCH EGGS ON THEIR FEET
P%enauins Of the Antarctic Region Have
Some Strange Characteristics,
Says Zoology Professor.

"The emperor penguin of the Antarc-
tic. which has not even a nest, lays a
single egg, that must not touch cold
ice and is Matched out on the parents
feet" writes DR.. Richard A. Muttkow-
ski. instructor in zoology, University
of Missouri, in an article on Maternal
Instincts" published in America. "The
mother he continues, has a bare
patch of skin on the under side. ringed
with long feathers to surround the egg
and later the chick this affords both
the necessary warmth"
Other strange manifestations of ma
ternal instinct cited by Doctor Mutt
kowski are certain Venezuelan frogs
which place their eggs upon their
backs. whence a little parapet of skin
prevents their falling.
The most astonishing manifestation,
however, is that Of the mother cor
pion. who sis literally devoured by her
children, and permits them TO do so.
We stand perplexed at the eomplexity
of an instinct which cause the mother
TO submit calmly TO ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
without offer of resistance; yet this
same instinct causes her at the same
time to ward OFF any foreign intruder
who might interfere with the dismem-
berment and perhaps ave her life.

PROTECTS STORAGE
BY PRODUCERS

The farmers of the country have a
strong friends in Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska, one of the big
men in the committee on agriculture
of the upper house of Congress. Sen
ator Norris work appears in the com
mittee amendment to the food bill
permitting cooperative associations Of
farmers to store the products raised
by them. Mr.. Norris holds that there
would be no possibility of saving
enough wheat, for instance. to last
through the year unless it was stored
at the time of harvesting and dis
tributed to the consumer later in the
year.

to be held" Mr.. Norris believes, sis

the United States, it will be practi-
cally impossible for them to so COM

F0RBIDS LETTING
TO SELVES

While ~conceding the ability and
patriotism of the men now donating
their services in the Council of Ma
tional Defense and elsewhere in the
departments, Senator James III. Brady
of Idaho thinks it is likely to lead to
charges Of graft If men are permitted
to give their work in that way, and
at the same time have the power TO
allot contracts to concerns in which
they are financially interested. For
that reason Senator Brady, while the
food control bill was being considered
In the committee on agriculture, was
instrumental in securing the adop-
ton by the committee of al amend
ment making it unlawful for any vol
uatary or paid employee of the gov
eminent to make any government
contract with a firm in which he is
interested. The adoption Of such a
provision, Mr.. Brady contends, will
remove the objections heard in some
quarters to the acceptance of volun-
tary service.

BELIEVES AUTOCRATIC POWERS
WILL END WITH WAR

Senator Frank B. kellogg of Mime
sofa. n of the most eminent lawyers
of the Senate, refuses to be disturbed
by the surrendering of some of our
liberties to the President, which Is
contained in the food bill and other
war legislation of this session.
Il am more disturbed" says he,
about the loss of them in the great
arbitrament of war"
Mr.. kellogg sees no danger of a
continuance of the war powers of the
administration after Germany is de-
feated, but in order to insure that
defeat it is necessary to change tenn
porarily some OF our industrial and
economic principles. Nothing but our
vital interest in the outcome of the
struggle would warrant such pater-
nalism by the government, in the
opinion of Mr.. Kellogg, and he be-
lieves the people will quickly reas-
sumo their rights after the need for
their surrender has passed.

WINNING III RESPECT

Every American will heartily ap-
plaud the plea made BY General Per
sbing TO his soldiers in behalf Of an
orderly and courteous conduct during
their stay in Europe. The position o.
the United States in the eyes OF Eu-
rope will depend no more upon feats
Of arms than upon the personal con
duct n the men who represent this
nation in the world conflict. Tie

Belgium. and even Of Germany, kno"

largely BIZ the personal behavior CT

uuon the German soldier as a true
descendant Of the Hun. whose sayag-

Of the German soldier. but it is never

courtesy.
The mental pictures we have of our
own American heroes were not ere

rather by stories of little incidents
which revealed the true characters
of the men. Future generations in
Europe will know the typical Ameri-

soldiers rather than by the success

field of battle. General Pershing rec

TRUTH FROM THE STARS

In a recent reading of the "horo-
scope" which is a popular syndicated
feature in the columns of some of our
exchanges we came across this pre-.
dietion from the planets: "The South
should benefit greatly from public
enterprises, especially after August.
The stars indeed speak truly in this
instance. Soon after August the great
environments of the national army will
be teeming with drafted soldiers, the
maintenance of whom will set floods
of public money swirling through the
communities where these cantonments
are situated. These environments NUM-
Der sixteen, and nine of them are
fixed at favored points in the South

prepared for the rigors of life in the

life in the balmy air of our own Sunny

Why the Owl Is a MIGHT Bird.

Birds are often credited with bring
ing down a fire from heaven; in Poly
nesia it was a red pigeon, in French
folk lore the wren. The tale runs
that all the other birds, except the
owl, contributed a single feather
apiece TO replace the scOrched plum
age Of the wren, so as to keep it warm
in the coming winter. For its ill
nature the owl was condemned to
eternal seclusion during the warm
day, and to perpetual suffering from
cold during the night, and the other
birds maintain the punishment by pes
tering it If 1t appears in sunshine

REMEDIES FOR

The soft coal situation in Indiana,
according to Senator Harry S. New
of that State, is as bad as is frequent
ly described in other soft-coal pro-
ducing States. Mr.. New has received

which has also been transmitted TO
the President, in which, after reciting
the conditions in the coal fields, rem
edies for the scarcity of coal are sug-

gested. First. cooperation with the
railroads: second. fixing Of a maxi
mum price; and, third, the storage Of
coal by consumers through the sum
mer. Senator New believes the sug

letter are worthy Of very serious coll
sideration. and to that end he has had
the communication printed in the Con-
g-ressional Record. where it viii be
