Animals That Blush

In spite of the admiration expressed
by poets for blush, 1t is, after all only
a rush Of blood to the face. caused by
modesty or some other emotion. Ami
mails blush. too, through fear. but the
poets say nothing about them.
Horses blush in their ears, especial
ly the left one. When horse is fright
ened his left ear will be found to be
very much swollen. This is also the
case with rabbits.
Cows and similar animals blush lust
above the hoof. while the dog uses his
tall for this purpose. When a dog is
frightened his tail hangs limp, as he
has lost control over It,
Even insects blush. They do 1t In
their antennae, or feelers.

GIVES OPINION ON
EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Status Of Measures Passed by
Legislature Made I! Clear by
LANCER.

bismarck, rep. l6.-DnQer the
referendum amendment to the state
approved at the last cleo
ton, and now in effect, the laws
passed by the legislature may be re-
ferred to the people for further ac-
tion, for, approval or rejection. This
reference can be secured by petitions.
II bill is passed with the emerg-
ency clause attached which re-
quires a two-third yoteit will re-
quire a petition Of 10000 electors
to referethe law back to the people.
If no emergency clause Is added, q
petition of only 1000 names is suffi-
cient. In an opinion rendered by
Attorney General LANCER in response
to request for same, under the word
ing of the amendment, the operation
of the law referred to might not I've
suspended for a year and 9 months,
unless the governor called special
election before the next general cleo
tion in November. 1920.
Langer's opinion is as; follows:
Hon. Walter Wolford,
estate Senator,
Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: I have your request
for an opinion as to the number of
signers necessary on a petition to Sc
sure referendum on an emergency
measure.
.'Since receipt Of your request l
have examined carefully the langu-
age of the amendment dealing with
the referendum approved by tie peo-
pie at the last election, and have
come to the conclusion that the lam
guage is so ambiguous and confusing
as to render its construction difficult.
''It is my opinion that said amend.
ment does not clearly state the num-
Der, Of signers necessary on a petit
tion to secure q referendum on an
emergency measure; andsa literal in
depreciation Of the language would
lead to the conclusion that no ref
erendum but. merely assuspension OF
the operation Of the law is provided
for. belieye that trsne supreme
court would, II possible, construe the
amendment as to allow the Speople
to refer an emergency measure With
that in mind have come to the con-
clusion that they. would probably
hold that a petition containing u
900 signatures would refer a meas
ure either with or without an en-
ergency, but that the petition would
not suspend the operation of meas
ure containing an emergency clause.
.'The result would be that il a
measure is passed with an emerg-
ency clause attached it would take
effect as soon as it is passed ard
approved by the governor, and it Is
my opinion that the people can not
vote upon itNunless the referendum
petition is signed by at least 10000
electors Of this state. That is, the
law would be in operation for about
.cne year and nine months before the
people would have an opportunity to
vote upon 1t unless the governor
should voluntarily order a special
election on the measure referred.
