ARAB HORSE EASILY LEADER
Finest Specimens Of the Race, of Which
the United States Has the Best,
Is Abundant Proof.

The tradition assembling to the Arab
horse extraordinary endurance is sus-
tanned by abundant evidence. AS Illus
tration, 300-mlle test was made
in 1919 from Fort Ethan Allan, Yer
mont to Camp Devens, Massachusetts,
and The first horse TO finish Was a
pnre-bred Arab mare named Ramla,
which made the distance in 81 hours
26 minutes and 80 seconds; the ami
NAL placed second was Kingtlsher,
three-fourths Arab and one-fourth
thoroughbred. The animal that fin
ished third IN the endurance test was
also pure-bred Arab mare, and the
one to finish fourth was three
fourths grade Arab, the dam of King
fisher.
In the army tests of 1929 the Arabs
again made a remarkable showing.
IL. X, Bush-Brown, who presented
the case for the Arab in the Journal
of Heredity, offers an explanation of
the extraordinary endurance of ami
mails of this breed, based in part on
the fact thai the Arab has only five
lumbar vertebrae between the ribs
and the pelyis), while all other fam
lies Of horses have six. This differ
ence in structure IS believed to ex-
plain why the Arab, though small, can
carry great weight. The anomaly II.

Monuoose In Trinidad.

The mongoose was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose of Kidding the island of
both rats and snakes. but at the pres
ent time il is itself considered a very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
duction of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years,
chiefly because of the ravages of frog
hoppers, since the lizards. which for
merly kept them in check, are being
extermnated by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners in Trinidad pay
shilling head for every mongoose
destroyed on their estates, and many
thousands are destroyed every year
without any attempt being made TO
save the skins. Consul Baker, there
fore, suggests that possibly these mon
goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States
and has forwarded sample of such
skin to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, where it may be
examined by interested persons.

SPOON IN FAVOR WITH TURKS
Subjects of the Sultan Have Little Use
for the Fork as a Table
Utensll.

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau of informa.
ton, the average yearly requirements
of ConStantinOple before the war in
the way of cutlery were $4,000 dozens
of table knives, 10000 dozens of
spoons, 10000 dozens of forks, $4,000
dozens of scissors. $4,000 dozens of
razorS of all kinds and 5000 dozens of
hair clippers.
AS will be seen, much more spoons
are sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experience in other countries
where, as rule. more forks are re-
quired than spoons. This is explained
by the fact chat Constantinople sup
plies great quantities of cutlery TO
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still have not been de-
veloped up to the standard of Paris.
The Arab is fond of the spoon, be-
cause it is handy in eating his cereals,
but he prefers to deal with chops by
way of the fingers, which is more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye with fork.
So it is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
1t is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage in point
of quality.
