.BAT|K TOBE USED IN
/ NEW SPRING COSTUMES
(Written for the United Press by

NEW YORK, Jan. 31t--Among the |
materials and fabrics which are being |

Few of us know, perhaps. the mean
ing of batik. And vet that camou-
flaging of white materials by the use
of colored paints and wax, has been
the dream work of dozens of the. AM

cry can create designs of such exquis-
ite colorngs and shadings of colors.
Batik had it's origin on the Isle OF
Java where native artists discovered
the beauty of hand painted designs on
white linen cloth. American artists
saw the possibility Of utilizing this art
! on crepe de chenes, -yelvets and chif-
fons and found amazing results.
With the introduction OF this art III
America, we saw negligees like spun
gold rejecting brilliant Autumn tones;
blues fading into lavenders and into
deeper tones that are as nameless as
the colorings of a desert sunset. The
batik artist strives to sell his work by
personal order rather than by the
wholesale route. He feels that he
must work something of the PERSONAL
tiles. Grey, for instance, suggests
tranquility, simplicity; lavender
auaintness; rose, cheerfulness; black
poise: etc. Today every lovely wom-
an has in fact blending Of all ol
these qualities. Thus the artists logic

FROGS
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1921. by Frank Crane)

Nature is full of queer spectacles One of the
queerest is the march of the frogs in spring.
During the winter the frogs lie buried deeply down
out of sight in moist banks or beneath the roots OF
trees under stones They eat nothing for four or
five months yet when they wake up early in March,
the females are ready to spawn.
Then both sexes make for the water. There are
pools which have been trystng places for frogs for
hundreds or maybe thousands, of generations From
far and near the frogs in early spring move toward
these spots by an unerring instinct
Those who watch such meeting place where frogs
have collected to the number of thousands and swarm
The croaking splashing and gurgng of the creatures
make curious sound which can be heard some dis
tance away.
Probably no other animal has been so much studied
by scientists as the frog yet it is surprising
how little we know about him. Taken from the water
at the spawn stage, he develops into tadpole by
series of metamorphoses which, under the micro
scope, appear positively uncanny.
He absorbs his tadpole tail Git does not drop off,
and from the water little frog not much bigger
than dime.
The frog is peculiar about his food 1t must not
only be alive but it must be stirring otherwise he will
not touch it. He shoots his tongue out like flash of
lightning and retracts it with equal speed taking his
prey with it.
Frogs will get to know persons, and instances have
been recorded in which they have answered their
and for food when called
Frogs show no mark Of satisfaction when pleased
but express feelings of fright and terror in the most
striking manner. They will squeal out at an almost
human pitch and intensity
One of the commonplaces of science is what frog
will do when his brain is removed After such oper
ation frog will catch flies and proceed to bury
himself in the earth when winter comes.
frog with his head cut off will jump naturally
and if he is tickled he will scratch at the place.
DR.. w. H. Thomson tells story how, when he was
fishing mud turtle swallowed the hook He could not
get the hook free he cut the turtles head off with
knife. To his aStOnlShment the animal walked two
yards away and dved into the water He did not seem
to need his head.

"a DAILY Poem
~ OPTIMISM

We work like bees that loudly buzz.
We laugh. we cry we sing, we
chatter,
But after all it really does
Not matter.
We make our pile or lose ii all,
We hate our job. or maybe love ii,
Our fame is greater very small;
What of it?
Brief is the space we dwell upon
This world of mingled JOY and
We're here today, of course, but gone
Tomorrow.
The world turns clear around each
day,
You cannot make it pause or hurry;
Neither can l. And, anyway.
Why worry?
If Fate has marked our destined trail
(Maybe she has-what though we
doubt it)
It does no good to weep and wall
About it!
Or if we truly have free will
To plan our plans and blow our
bubbles,
Then it's bad sportsmanship to spill
Our troubles
SO each must bear what he can't
mend,
Accept his woes with merry
chatting,
Smile pleasantly until the end
And eXit-laughing!

III To the Editor
Payment for the Project

ISuN. Aot 40--.
To The Republican:
1t seems to me that we are facing
a very serious proposition as regards
our obligation TO the government,
being in default on three annual pay
ments amounting to s1016,602.20.
We have no written assurance that
payment will be deferred for any
definite period. Whether in the
reclamation act the secretary Of the
interior is given authority to extend
payment we are not advised. but the
thing we are sure of is that we far
rners are not now or viii we be in a
position TO meet this obligation this
fall or next spring.
This is an opportune time to take
this matter up with congress who
are in receptive mood, being well
informed along financial lines and the
present needs of the farmer. Would
1t not be well 10 have a bill drafted
providing definitely for an extension
Of time, say ten years.
Why not ask our delegation in con-
gress TO draft a bill providing for an
extension of time to December I.
1882, payments 70 follow in fheir or
der as in the present contract?
/ believe we would get favorable
action as it requires no appropria-
tion a matter which congress closelE
scrutinizes.
