Albanian Humor.

An Albanian barber shop, were

during the new moon, lest 1t turn
white. One Albanian explained to a
traveller that his mustache was white
because he had clipped 1t thoughtless-

waited until the moon was on the
wane to trim his hair.
The things that people laugh at
might readily be considered an index
to their development. A specimen Of

Gently returned from Russit, was in
Washington last week. He reels off
facts and figures thst tSu an eloquent
story Of the amazing magnitude Of
Americans philanthropy In famine
stricken Russia. Seven million five
hundred persons are being fed daily,
including 1900, 900 children. The area
Of American bounty embraces \ terri
tory As wide as the United States
itself-from Petrograd to Odessa.
Funds approaching the 100000, 900
mark have been spent. An organiza-
ton directed by 14O Americans control
the activities Of $4,000 Russian relief
workers. For the most part food is
dispensed day in and day out from
IL 900 kitchens. Every ounce Is care
fully checked as 1t advances from the
ports Of entry to the distributing de- +
pots, and checked again before it
energies in the form Of individual ra-
lions. The American Relief Admin
stration's chief concern Is for the
children. By scientific systematiza-
ion, well-balanced and yariegated
iiet is served from such staples as
condensed milk, white flour, coco,
,eans peas and rice. The relief scheme
includes ways and means for regular
Weighing and measuring Of under
Iourished children, in order that cor
ectiyes may be applied where neces-
airy. Granted good harvest this

A Great VioIinist

Wherever SkovRaard, the Danish
violinist, appears, he is given most
enthusiastic reception. He will ap-
pear at the High school auditorium
under the auspices of the Emmett
Choral Club on Friday of next week,
June 20. An exchange thus describes
his concert:

Chung, Skovgaard, talented pianist,
appeared for the first time before an

his hearers when he drew from his

gard, a Stradivarius and Swanee

R.aesion. Of Turtle. to Color.

Marine turtles lay their eggs on dry
land. and as soon as the youngsters
are Matched they make straight for
the sea. Carnegie institute men In the
Dry Tortugas sought to find the infiu-
ence that guided them to the water.
When a sheet Of red or yellow paper
was placed between the baby turtle
and the sea, It would turn and go In
another direction; but a blue sheet
drew him toward ii no matter where
II was placed. 1t would seem. then.

generally by the sportsmen of this

Bates thinks about i:
Any man, or bunch of men, who
will take 80 dogs into a game count
ry to hunt should be chased out of
the country. He is not sportsman,
and he goes beyond the accepted de-
finition Of a game hog. The fact that
these men are wealthy makes the Of
Tense only more contemplate. Besides
the game they destroy the dogs will
inevitably chase the remainder out
of the country, and ruin one Of the
few remaining big game sections of

prevent the calamity that is bound to
follow this incursion of misbegotten
game destroyers, every dog found
running at large in the Chamberlain
