Old Reynard has been pursued on
horse and with hounds in nearly every
state east of the Mississippi, where he
is found in sufficient numbers to rem
der his hunting an object of sport
writes DR. II. w. Shufeldt in the
American Forestry Magazine of Wash
ingtOn. In New England and in the
northeastern section generally 1t Is
considered legitimate to shoot the pur-
sued fox at the finish, or during any
part of the chase, while in Kentucky
and Tennessee and other southern
districts such practice is considered
highly unSportsmanIike, and would
subject the perpetrator to the severest
criticism from every member of the
guild. Strange as it may appear, 1t Is
nevertheless true that experienced OLD
foxes, and those that have become
familiar with the ways of men, horses
and hounds, seem TO enjoy the fun
quite as much as the hunters do.

The Snail and the Screw.

It is no doubt true that nearly al!
human inventions have been suggested
by natural objects. Fremont of the
French School of Mines points out
an interesting example in the case
of the screw, the fundamental idea
of which, he believes, was suggested
to primitive man by the spiral shape
of the edible snail. 1t was not the
shape of the shell that suggested the
screw, but the spiral motion switch

the snail in order to withdraw it from

The Renaissance.

Renaissance is a French word " nAn.
ing new birth. applied to the rex iyai
or rebirth of interest in intellectual
matters. 1t is used TO mark period
Of transition in Europe from medieval
to modern methods of thought and
study. Some authorities state that the
Renaissance was due to the influx of
Greek manuscripts and scholars into
Europe after the fail Of Constantine
pie in li53. Others say the ReEais-
Sance was the result Of il gradual
process of education which had been
extending over western Europe for
century previously. To enumerate the
effects Of the Renaissance is to discuss,
the history OF art, literature, science,
philosophy, poetry, even religion. In
every field Of human activity there
existed new spirit. The intellectual
life of the world had run in one groove
for centuries; it now went back to the
many grooVed life of the ancient
Greeks and Romans and found n>u.la-
ton for new .aths.

Many Uses for Castor Oil.


We are accustomed to think of cas-
tor oil as a disagreeable medicine.
This, however, is the least important
of It's uses, commercially speaking.
One Of the largest employments found
for II Is the making of transparent
soaps. 1t also yields an acid utilized
In the making of candles, and another
acid which Is an important ingredient
of varnishes suitable for polishing fur
niture and carriage bodies. Castor oil
is also used in the making of certain
waterproof preparations. It is an es-
sential component in some artificial
rubbers, and in certain kinds of cellu-
loid. From 1t is obtained the so
called turkey red oil so highly priced
for the dyeing Of cotton textiles. Most
fly papers owe their effectiveness large
~ to the fact that the "tangefOOt"
preparation smeared On them contains
much castor oil.

TOUR TO FLORIDA

More Autos Expected on Long
Trip South Than Last
Year.

! The announcement made this week
that the second annual A. l.. A. Green
Book Tour would leave Boston De-
cember has created considerable in
terest in motor circles. The first tour
left Boston last year. December 8. and
reached Miami December "a. Twenty
one cars participated in the tour, and
the entire trip of over 1900 miles was
negotiated absolutely on schedule.
. Every car made every noon and night
control on time and reached the end
of the trip ten minutes ahead of the
schedule announced at the start.
This record is unprecedented. for no
other tour of the same size has been
, able to finish without losing some Of
the entrants en- route Nor has any
trant having n"rfe"t score. This
record is particularly creditable when
it is considered that every d~iv"r was
+, the owner of the car. and not 4 sin
gle car was driven by professional

The route to be followed is via Wor-

Though the total gain in tourists
for the season is not large, the in
, crease of 2.15s automobiles. carrying
1854 passengers, is the outstanding
feature of American tourist travel
during the summer, which has been
marked by financial difficulties and
other adverse travei conditions.
The character of the travel to Vel

tensive developments of hotel and camp

Therefore it is easy to understand

away with all-day parking or park

on the congested streets. II the
present law was enforced there would
be none of that.
Merchants Do Not Want 1t.
The new rule is designed also to
help the merchants in conducting
their business. The merchants do not
want it, and they have not mlnced
words in so stating.
Advocates of the new rule. when
they are found. and they are gem

feurs, point out that conditions here
are intolerable and that relief is nee
cssary ESQ far 50 good) and also
that automobile owners should walk

Now, while conditions here are GER

comparison other cities of the size or
Washington and even bigger. there is
room for Improvement. and happy
medium in the new trafhc law can
easily be found.
ample. why not cut the present half
hour parking down to fifteen minutes.
That would give the average person
! time enough to make a purchase. He
could then move his car to another
point.
In the writer's opinion F street be-
tween 9Th and l4th streets is really
the only street where traffic is heavy
the entire day. OF course, in the rush
hours the streets feeding into it. 14th.
18th and on down to 9Th. are Jammed,
! but if these were one-way streets. be-
tween New York avenue and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. much of the congestion
would be done away with.
Now. as before stated, if fifteen
minute parking plan. instead of an
absolute abolishment. was put into
effect in the congested section 1t
would work to the benefit of the en-
tire community. pedestrians. motor
; lists and merchants alike. 1t would be
fair to every one.
In Boston, which is considerably
, larger than the District. two streets.
fremont and Washington. run parallel
in the most congested section, and on
the cross streets between these two
there is a ten-minute parking regula-
tion. These cross streets are about
one-half as wide as 10th street, for
instance. and there is one-way traffic
on each.
If Boston, with its greater number
of motor cars and people, can allow
parking for ten minutes on streets
where the traffic Is almost three times
as heavy as on any in Washington. then
Washington can certainly allow fifteen
minutes on any of its most congested
streets.
, However. the pros and cons of the
matter will be ironed out at the pub
lie hearing called by the Commission
ers for Thursday. Out of this hearing
. that there should be no need for such
drastic law, which would work
hardship on both motorist and mer-
chant.
