500 For Clipping From White
House Sheep.

Governor Harrington still has that
two pounds of wool clipped from the
Presidential herd of sheep which are
supposed to have produced some
thing extra fine in downiness, and
which was sent to the Maryland Ex-
ecutive for sale to the highest bidder
as a means of raising money for the
Red Cross. He has gotten just one bid.
1t came from a well-know Balti-
more man who did not want his name
disclosed. but who believes that it is
up to Maryland to show that it appre-
ciates a good proposition when pre-
sented. In years to come the value of
this wool will be greatly enhanced.
The bid of 800 is made as a starter
The wool will not be sold for any such
figure, but as an initial bid it prob
ably will stimulate others.

Wuxtry! U. S. Marines have con-
quered Lulu Fada without loss of life
or firing a shot! Only minor injuries
sustained to the extent of few sore
muscles-a really remarkable record
taking into consideration that Lulu"
is one of the most difficult of modern
society dances.
The Lulu Fada consists of a maze of
whirls, dips, twists and, quite often,
"fiops' on the part of the participant
1t was introduced to the sea soldiers
by one of their physical instructors
who. prior to enlisting in the Marine
Corps, was a prominent New York
dancing instructor.
The dance, while one of the most
difficult known is a wonderful devel-
oper of the leg muscles and the men
in training are being aided greatly by
it. declared the EXCHANGING master.

Today is Memorial Day The re-
membrapce for one day of the service
of the dead is valuable only if it in
spires in us, the living, their spirit of
devotion.
Memorial Day was born of a war
fought that this nation, under God,
should have a new birth of freedom,
and that government of the people,
for the people and by the people shall
not perish from the earth.
A half century and more has
passed since that immortal utterance.
Now the nation is again in arms, to
| fight that "the world may be made
safe for democracy
Then, the young republic, struggling
| upward toward it's vision of freedom,
| learned through the bitter travail of
Civil war that the nation could not
exist half slave and half free. The
J vision has broadened with the widen
| ing years. Then it was for the free
dom of a race the nation fought. Now
the sword is drawn for the imperiled
liberty of the world.
The natal day of our independence
we have been wont to celebrate with
| loud acclaim and vaunting pride. Me-
mortal day ever has been our time for
solemn contemplation. Another Mem
orial Day is at hand, and as America
| lays its flowers on the graves of its
| soldier dead, it hears again that re-
vered voice from the slopes of Get
; tysburg bidding us to be not unmind-
full that "it is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain
A beautiful, a poetic symbolism
Memorial Day has come to be to us:
The people who walk with slow steps
in the quiet cemeteries, the children
in their white dresses who with loving
hands place wreaths "alike for the
friend and the foe" the venerable men
who are the links that bind us to an
age long gone, and, as we believed, for
ever gone, when nation warred with
nation and blood lust grew in hearts
that had thrilled at the sight of the
same flag.
And now with what a new and sud-
| den significance has Memorial Day
been vested With what different
thought will they go lovingly laden
with flowers" How much more rever-
emily than in those conventional days
that already. seem so far away will the
little flags be planted on each patriot
mound And who is there, when taps
clear and soft as a benediction, is
sounded for those who dream of bat
tlefelds no more" will not remember
that on a neighboring hill on the NOR
row from that same silver bugle will
leap the reveille for another genera
| tion of freedoms soldiers?
I If solemn memories of the past and
earnest thought for the future bring
that new birth of freedom. who shall
say that those have died in vain fol
whom flowers will be spread in fal

why Fish % Not Travel Far.

Animals Of both land and sea are
confined within rather narrow limits
Of pressure. In his book on the North
sea fisheries, Neal Green shows that
the North sea fishes are isolat-
ed In their own little world,
for they cannot migrate to the At
lantlc depths, and, with a few
such exceptions as the eel, deep
sea fishes cannot enter shallow wa
ters. Foraging for food Is the fish's
occupation. The North sea fishes will
moi descend into the ocean because
there IL no food to attract, their eyes
are not adapted to the darkness, and
the pressure Of the water is greater
than ordinary fish can endure In the
depths there are no seasonal changes,
no currents. Everything is uniform.
stagnant, black, and the only fishes
that can see are those specially en-
dowed with enormous eyes to per
ceive the phosphorescent glow Of 9th
ers OF their kind. If they could rise
TO the conditions Of the North sea
these deep sea dwellers would bt
helpless, If not destroyed by the re
lease from external pressure.

and we held our breath for fear Of
soaring II away; for II was most
fascinating little creature, just a
bundle Of nuff and comedy. Then
while we watched, tragedy sprang up
full armed. A weasel. moving swift

sudden dart. In one second all
would have been over with bunny.
but my companion clapped her hands
and gave n wild cry Of anger, dane
Ing about in wrath. The weasel fed
for Its life. But the baby rabbit
stopped to laugh moment, and then
came lollopIng q little faster toward
us-right up to us, in fact. We had
actually TO drive the little creature
back to where we guessed its home
might be before we could go on our
way with quiet minds. Scared as q
