Sense of Color

nesting place, as the name tortugas,
Spanish for tortoise, would indicate.
The eggs are laid some distance
from the shore, and as soon as the
young are able to swim they make I'M
a straight line for the open sea. III
was at this age Of the young turtlesI
that the experiments we're conducted.
The scientists had with them sheets of,
colored paper, red, yellow and blue.
When a sheet of red or yellow paper
was placed between the baby and his
view of the water he would immedi-,
ately turn and go In another direction
But when the blue sheet was used. no
matter where placed, the infant would
make for 1t without hesitation. There,
wasn't any question about blue for al
boy, pink for girl" All experiments
showed that, whether or not we have
picked blue as dismal color, as far,
as the turtle Is concerned, II Is the
bluebird for happiness.
Gets Color From Food.
The tests were made with the At
lantic green turtle. 1t Is also believed
that he gets tho color for which he Is
named from feeding on the seaweesis,
which are more brilliant In color. Re
search along similar lines has devel-
oped the theory that the beautiful
scarlet fiamingo gets his cOl0riDg
from cerions and the brilliantly hued
molluscs which abound along the
coasts of the southern islands and
shoals. 1t Is strongly substantiated
by the fact that the European fla
mingo is almost white and that our
own species fades rapidly when put In
geological collections where he can
no longer get these foods. In the
same process, the wonderfully colored
tropical fish lose their viyidness when
placed In captivity. q

"a Per Cent Increase in Arrests
at Washington Due to Mon
Beverages"
1907 SENTENCED IN YEAR
Flavorlng Extracts. TONES, Perfumes
Medicine Containing Alcohol and
Even Wood Alcohol Used as
Beverage.

Washington.-Th use Of hair tonic,
fiavoring extracts, perfumes, medicines
containing alcohol, and even poisonous
wood alcohol, for beverage purposes,
had good deal to do with the fact
that the number of Jail sentences dealt
out at the nations capital for intoxi-
cation during the fiscal year ended
June 80 1921, showed an increase of
"a per cent over the previous year, ac-
cording to the annual report of w. l..
Peak, superintendent of the District
jail, just made public.
Superintendent Peak described the
increase as ian efratlc fluctuation I'm
the process Of extinction" which local
observers declared not such bad way
of putting II, after all. At any rate,
there were 1907 sentenced to Jail for
drinking more than they could handle,
as compared with 941 who didn't get
home safely the year before.
lntoxication Increasing.
From their low point following the
new law the figures are ascending and
intoxication for the moment is In
creasing," reads the superintendent's
report.
1.-THE beverages are new, and most
of them are legitimate articles of COM
merce, but they are being used for pur-
poses never designed by the manufac-
turer. Hair tonic, iavoring extracts,
perfumes, medicines and the poisonous
wood alcohol are all being consumed
by the 0ld-time victims Of a habit
which required an act Of congress to
cure.
'"The Increase is due to the fact that
younger men have been able to evade
the law and have found means of traf-
ticking In saleable limitations of old
beverages having an alcoholic con-
tent nearly double that of the older
product.
THE enforcement of the law Is full
ly in keeping with the public's view
point, and the increased violations are
probably only an eTatic fluctuation in
the process of extinction.
Because it is SO nearly universal,
termihed stand In the matter of frown-
Ing upon certain forms Of recklessness
and defiance of law. good results are
already indicated. There we're 81
fewer cases of carrying deadly
