NEW IN THE ANIMAL WORLD
"Okapi" Astoniehed Explorers, and
Only a Few Specimens Have
Ever Been Obtained.

Some time before 1890, Stanley, the
explorer, had word from the pigmy
negroes of new beast in the impene-
trable depths of the virgin forest
which borders the Semiiki river in the
Belgian Congo. The Wambatti natives
described it as a species of donkey
and called It "Atti" From their fur

which lived upon leaves In 1899 Sir
Harry Johnston himself saw the pig
mics, who fully confirmed what STAN
ley had already told him, but added
that the strange beast was striped like
n zebra.
In 1901 a Swedish officer, M. Kari
Erikson, obtained a complete skin and
two skulls, which he sent to Sir Harry
Johnston, who then believed the beast
to be of the giraffe tribe, previously
found in fossil state in Greece. 1t
WIS, however, proved conclusively that
although of the giraffe family 1t was
not the animal of ancient Greece, but
a new beast altogether. 1t was sub
sequently given the name of "okapi."

9EARL MOSQUE WELL Nance
Structure at Agra, India, Admittedly
One of the Most Beautiful
In the World.

Among tne most beautiful Of Shah
Jahan's sculptrred monuments is the
Pearl mosque at Agra. The entrance
gateway of red sandstone contrasts
effectively with the interior of white
and blue-veined marble. An inscrip
tion in letters Of black marble states
that this mosque may be likened to a
precious pearl for no other mosque is
similarly lined with marble.
The Indian influence upon Mahome-

British Lador
Against Government

British organized labor has definite
ly ranged itself against the govern
ment in the Irish controversy, at least
so far as government methods are con-
cerned. The labor commission which
visited Ireland has made its final re-
port, in which it scathingly denounces
the course of the English authorities
in ireland and expresses the belief
that coercion will be unable to sup
press either the Sim Fein movement
or the republican army" The latter,
it asserts, is formidable because it is
not concentrated and has the sympa-
thy and support of the vast mass of
the population. OF murders and re-
prisals the report says
$50 great has been the provocation
by the crown forces that so per cent
of Irish men and women now regard
the shooting of policemen and the
throwing of bombs at lorries with the
same philosophic resignation that Mr..
Lloyd George displays toward arson
and pillage and the shooting of civil
ians in the presence of their wives and
children"
The Observation-Disclosures and tans-
and most of the royal Irish constabu-
larry are declared utterly unfit for
their duties.
To meeting of 300 delegates repre-
senting three million trades unionists
the members of the commission told
in detail what they saw and learned
in Ireland, and resolution was adopt
ed demanding that the government
grant a judicial investigation into the
action of crown forces in Ireland with
view to Furnishing those guilty of
crimes.
The time limit for turning in all
arms in Ireland. expired Wednesday,
and the officials admitted very few had
been surrendered.
The Irish Women's Organization has
issued a circular defying the order of
the government rendering liable to
death anyone harboung a rebel. The
circular says: "The women of Ireland
consider it a crime for any young
1rishman of military age not to carry
arms in defense of his country, and it
is even greater crime for any person
of Irish blood to refuse to harbor or
assist our brave soldiers"

CoIors That Harmonic.

"You've got blue dress on and
a brown hair ribbon" remarked one
girl to another as they were riding
on street car in the eastern district
says the ChiIdren's Museum News
(Brooklyn). "You should not wear so
many colors In your clothes"
ITS all right to wear different col.
ors if they harmonize," was the re-
joinder.
"Yhat do you know about harmonic
ing?" continued the critic.
"Well, I've Just come from the Chill.
lren's museum" answered the de.
PENDANT, where I saw the birds and
they aren't all the same color"

Health Talk at
Women's Club

NEW HOPED. J. E. Scott will
give an informal talk on health at
the next meeting CT the Womens
Club of New Hope, Wednesday even
ing, January II, at s o'clock, in the
library rooms. The discussion fol
lowing will be opened by Miss Laurie
>Gillick, State nurse from Bristol, Pa.
DR.. Scott has done more voluntary
health work without compensation
than any other physician in the coun-
try. Considering that such work
means the reduction of Illness, it can
be seen that he is in one way elimi-
mating his own business. And for
this reason it makes his work doubly
appreciated.

Readjustments in
Business

Though leaders In 0a5:rcss anu
finance issue frequent statements to
the effect that business Stagnation in
America has about reached the low
point and that the future really looks
rosy to them, the mass of the people
are far from being optimistic, and it
must be admitted that conditions seem
to justify their view. Demand has
fallen TO minimum, and of course
production has decreased in proper
ton. Prices have declined but while
this is a source of satisfaction to the
consumer, it is painful to the producer,
and the producer who is especially
mournful is the farmer. What con-
gress is planning to do for him in the
way of an emergency tariff may help,
but most economists doubt it.
There were several occurrences Of
note last week in the industrial field.
The most startling, perhaps, was the
closing down of the Ford automobile
works at Detroit for an indefinite pc
Rod. This was said to be due to a
marked falling off in orders and the
return of many cars. Under normal
conditions $4,000 men are employed in
the shops that closed The employees
were told not to report before Feb
ruary l.
Another interesting event was the
refusal of the union employees of
the Pullman company in the car works
at Pullman, H., to have their wages
reduced as far as 20 per cent. The
suggestion had been accepted by the
employees industrial relations COM
mittee in consideration of the declin-
ing commodity prices and the re
adjustment in industry. They said
they realized the company must get
more business in order to avoid dras-
tic reduction of working forces, and
that it must cut costs to meet in
creased competition. The wages of
the employees have more than dou-
bed in the last four years. The union
men made no threat of striking if
wages were cut, but intimated that
trouble would follow such action
Many of the shop workers are not
in unions.
Employees of some other big con-
Germs. especially in the textile and
clothing industries of the East, have
been compelled to accept reductions
in wages rather than have the works
close down.

confucius on Women.

Said Confucius: "Of all people. girls
and servants are the most difficult to
behave to. If you are familiar with
them, they lose their humility. If you
toaintain reserve toward them, they
are discontinued" Chinese servants
nnust have greatly improved since the
Confucian period; at least modern
times cannet parallel their excellence.
AS to Chinese girls. it is not safe to
commit oneself concerning the girls
of any nation, but they look discreet
and slim and flair as flowers under
their fringes of black hair, and gay
as lowers, too, in their little pins and
blue and violet coats butto-ed straight
up to their caing.-Tsie Republic.

Garbage Contract
to Jesse Mason

LAMBERTVILLE - The city gar
bage contract has been awarded to
Jesse Mason at $275 per month,
against $3.50 paid last year to Will
liam Winters, of New Hope. A few
years ago the contract price was
$500 per year, or $3.50 per month,
but increasing prices of teams and
labor made several raises imperative.
Thomas w. Mitchell, who held the
contract for several years, finally
dropped out altogether, claiming that
he could make more money in private
work. Mr.. Winters asked $500 per
month for 1921, but Mr.. Mason was
S25 per month lower.
The City Commissioners have
always had more or less difficulty
in securing bids fer the gathering of
the ashes and garbage, as but few
people are equipped to handle it, and
while the pay is regular and positive,
the contractor generally has to en-
gage in outside work to keep his men
and teams busy al Of each week with
out loss.

Worst in History

Army air service officers said the
accident was the worst in the history
of aviation in the United States, and
that it was one of the fewy in which
all of the passengers in a falling
plane had been Killed almost in
stantly.
The ship struck the ground nose
first, and the impact was so great
that thte big 400 horsepower Liberty
motor in the front end of the craft,
was torn from it's chassis and thrown
back into the cockpit on top of the
pilot and the passengers. All of the
bodies were badly mutilated.
The Curtiss- Eagle was returning
from trip to Langley Field, near
Newport News, Virginia, and had
just crossed the Potomac river, when
it ran into the storm which had
passed over Washington an hour be-
fore. The exact cause of the accident
probably never will be known, as
those in the machine were dead when
witnesses from Morgantown, a little
village near Indian Head, reached the
scene.
An official investigation of the ac-
cident will be ordered. At that in
vestigation it is possible an inquiry
will be made into the general design
and practical use by the army of such
machine, the only one of it's type
in the army. service fitted with am
bulance equipment. Air service Off
GERS said today that when the plane
left Langley Field it was apparently
in perfect running condition and had
been functioning properly during sew
eral hours in the morning and after
noon.
Captain De la Vergne, air attache
of the French who made the trip in
the Eagle from Washington, said to-
night that in his opinion the Eagle
was unbalanced.

by Miss Edith Sigourney of Boston.
An upset among the other competi-
tors came with the defeat of Jean
