STRANGEST OF SEA MAMMALS
Grotesque WaIrus, as Navigators Will
Testify, Has Strongly Developed
Maternal Instinct.

The walruses or "sea horses of the
old navigators are the strangest and
most grotesque of all sea mammals.
Their large, rugged heads, armed with
two long ivory tusks, and their huge
swollen bodies, covered with hairless,
wrinkled and warty skin, give them a
formidable appearance unlike that of
any other mammal. They are much
larger than most seals, the old males
weighing from 1000 to 5000 pounds
and the females about two-thirds as
much.
WalruSes have a strongly developed
maternal instinct and show great de-
vOtion and disregard of their own safe
ty in defending the young. The Es-
kimos at Cape Vancouver, Boring sea,
hunt them in frail skin-covered kyaks,
using ivory-or bone-pointed spears
and Sealskin floats. Several hunters
told me of exciting and dangerous en-
counters they had experienced with
mother walruses. If the young are at
tackled, or even approached, the moth
err does not hesitate to charge furi-
ously. The hunters confess that on
such occasions there is no option but
to paddle for ones life. Occasionally
an old walrus is unusually vindictive
and, after forcing a hunter to take
refuge on the ice, will remain patrol
ing the vicinity for a long time, roar
ing and menacing the object of her
anger.

Il grieve for ye, homeless men "
cried he to the men Of the Rhine. He
saw that Hagen had lost his shield
and said: Take mine, Hagen. Might
est thou but win back with it to Bur-
gundyw
"God reward thee, noble Rudeger 7"
answered Hagen. Then Rudeger rushed
1T them. He struck Gernot a fatal
blow, but before the Rhine's prince
dropped he struck truly with the sharp
sword that Rudeger had given him,
so that the loyal knight Of Bechlaren
died from his own loving gift.
They made sorry terms with each
other. The knights of the Rhine were
few when the fighting was done; but
Of the knights Of Rudeger there was
not one left.
Palaces and towers rang with the
woe Of the Huns. The brave Amelung
knights of Prince Dietrich Of Berne
ran to the place, and, weeping, begged
for Rudeger's body.
"COme and take him !" answered
FOlker, waving his terrible red fiddle
bow. $50 shall ye serve Rudeger
truly"
Hildebrand Of Berne hit FOlker so
that shield and helm flew in splinters.
That was the end Of the bold fiddler
Hagen's brother, backward, fell
slain. Wolfhart of Berne and young
Giselher killed each other. They gave
each other a grim death.
There were none left save Prince
Dietrich of Berne and his man Hide
brand on one side, and Gunther the
king and his vassal Hagen on the
other.
These two were sorely spent. Die
trich grappled them and bound them.
SO he bore them to Kriemhild.
"Most high queen" said the prince
of Berne, grieving, there were never
nobler captives than these. Let the
homeless knights live for my sake -
She sent them to separate dungeons.
Then she went in to Hagen and said,
high and furious: Tell me where the
Nibelung hoard is, and We may both
win back alive to Burgundy"
Grim Hagen answered: II have
sworn that none shall have it while
my master Gunther lives"
Kriemheld went in to her brother
and smOte off his head Bearing it
by the hair, she showed it to the knight
of Irony.
"NoW the secret is safer cried Ha-
gen. "NOne knOWeth of the treasure
now save God and I. Thou shalt never
see it, devil that thou art"
Kriemhild drew BaImung, Siegfried's
sword, from the sheath at fettered Ha-
gems side. She lifted it with both
hands and took off his head.
II care not what comes of it," cried
old Hildebrand, Dietrich's man. He
swung his blade and slew her.
Thus it befell because of the high
pride of two loving women. The end
of the hightide was woe. SO at the
last all joy turns to sorrow. This is
the fall of the Nibelungs.

THE DEVIL GETS
AN AWFUL WALLOP
(By United Press)

New York, Feb. 13.-The devil got
an awful wallop in the first round of
the Billy Sunday preliminary cam
paign here today. When the old boy
picked up his spiked tail and his
pitchfork and started out from Broad
way on his daily round he found
prayer meetings going on in every
block that houses Gotham's two mil.
lion souls.
Beginning today, these cottage
prayer meetings will be held twice g
week until Sundays arrival, April 1
One of the residences opened for the
neighborhood prayer meetings in the
Plaza section today was that of John
D. Rockefeller, Jr Mr.. and Mrs
Rockefeller both are deeply interest
ed in the success of the Sunday cam
paign. The city has been divided into
twenty sections and prayer blocks
have been systematically organized
The burden Of the prayers prayed is
for the salvation of 'backslidden'
Christians.

Sacramento, Feb. 12.-The jitney
bus fight in the legislature next
March will hinge on two sets of bills
one set introduced by Senator Rom.
niger of Los Angeles, and decidedly
hostile to the jitney forces; the othe,
Iby Senator Burnett of San Francis
co, and believed to be satisfactory
to the jitney men as a compromise
measure.
A state tax on jitney busses is pro-
posed in both, but Rominger's pro-
posed tax would just about put the
jitneys out of business, while Bur
nett's would be comparatively insig-
nificant.
A tax of S25 per seat annually is
provided for in one of Rominger's
bills. On the ordinary jitney this
would be an annual tax of $1OO. Bur-
nett's bill calls for an annual fee of
SIS for each application for a state
license. According to a legal ex-
pert's Interpretation of the Burnett
bill, any number of jitney owners
could organize an association for the
purpose of applying for a license. For
instance, if fifteen jitney owners
should form an association, the H.
cense fee would be only 81 a year for
each.
The iitney people will fight against
a state tax, since they are also SUBJ
ject to city and county tax. The
state tax commission stands with them
on this, pointing to the injustice of
double taxation"
Under the states bungled-up taxa
ton laws, it would be impossible,
except by constitutional amendment,
to impose state tax on jiteny busses
in lieu of all other taxes, as is now
the case with public service corpora
tions. The jitney people would un-

NAPA FARMERS START
COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
(By United Press)

Berkeley, Cal, Feb. 13.-Farmers of
Napa county were first to take ad-
vantage of the officer of the Univer-
sity of California and the United
States Department of Agriculture, to
show them how to keep set of
books.
The use of cost accounting system
may mean the difference between sue
cess and failure, according to Univer-
sity experts.
So, cooperating with the Depart
ment cf Agriculture, the University
announced that an expert would be
sent to any county on the written re-
quest of fifty farmers. He will visit
each farm, show the farmers how to
keep books, install cost accounting
system land show them an easy and
simple way to find out what his farm
earns, and which of the enterprises
on his farms pay, and which do not.
Napa county quickly furnished the
required number of signatures. A
large number of farmers have signed
up in San Diego, Imperial, Placer,
Stanislaus and other counties.
The only condition attached to this
offer is that county, to get the serv-
ices of a farm accounting specialist,
must have one of the University's
farm advisers and maintain a farm
bureau organization of farmers.

Jitney Bus Fight
In State Legislature

ldoubtedly welcome the imposition of
e state tax if it would thereby re-
move them from local taxation. But
this is not possible and, while ready
to combat any state tax, they would
probably stand ready, as a compro-
Mise, to agree to the Burnett propo-
Isal.
Burnett, in separate bill, proposes
ito put the jitneys under the jurisdic-
tion of the state railroad commission.
Thus they would be removed from To-
cal regulation, even though the cities
and counties would retain the right
Of taxing them.
Rominger, in second bill, pro-
poses a heavy state tax on motor
trucks that compete with railroads in
transportation of freight. 1t ranges
from $50 for a one-ton truck to $3.50
for five-ton truck.

OF course be placed solely in the hands of such experts
as we have. Regular army men should be adequate fol
such duty, and we believe that they are.
In other branches of the service they most clearly
not adequate. Supplying clothes, food and military
equipment has been in their hands, and is the cones
sion of Major General Wood that they have shown pc
cuar ineptitude Even keeping records on the system

powers.
But the most conspicuous failure was developed by
the needs of the National Guard in the recent Mexican
Easco. The regular army plans for supplying state

100000 TREES
AT COST.
STATE FOREST NURSERY FAST DISPOS-
ING OF STGcE; FIFTY THOUSAND
TREES ALREADY GONE.

Baltimore, March 10:-According to
the Board of Forestry, the State OF
Maryland had better plan for an early
spring. Not that the Board iS par
ticulaTIy interested in this fact in it-
self, Or ii attempting to forecast the
weather. But-and this Is important
the. chief tree planting season OF
the year is due to arrive with it, and
in this the Forestry people have q
very direct concern
The general tree planting public,
and nowadays nearly every one with
a little plot Of ground or q strip OF
land along the roadside comes within
this class, has been accustomed to
devOting month or two in the spring
I'd work Of this character. Autumn
is actually about a. good, but the
public has a feeling that the time
when nature does its work along this
line is good enough for them, and
plans accordingly. Ordinarily, from
late in the month of March to nearly
the first of May il the tree planting
season, and in this period, short as it
I'D, there are many miles Of highway
which get bordering OF trees, and
numerous plots of ground which
blossom out in little forests. Between
the day when the frost leaves the
ground for good, and the early rains
begin It'd fall--that III the time, and
present indications are that this tine
lis very near.
For several weeks the Board OF
Forestry has been answering appli-
cants with grants OF trees, giving in-
formation ON how and what, and
when, To plant, and sending out sev-
eral hundred of the application
blanks which list the trees now
growing in the Forest Nursery. AS
these lists state, the trees are sold to
landowners of Maryland at cost The
rates Oh AIT of them are very low, 10
that in the past two years, or since
the Nursery was begun, 10000 of
them have been sold for forest plant
ing in this State. And the price was
about six-tenths of a cent apiece
Fifty thousand have gone % far this
season.
