The Auxiliary, in its present make
up, is composed of mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of the members
of the American Legion, and of the
women of the same status who lost
men in the World war. There Is no
junior society to the Auxiliary or to
the Legion, such as there Is to other
patriotic societies-for instance, the
Sons of the Revolution-but when
generation has passed undoubtedly
such society will come into existence.
1t is to prepare the way for an heredi-
tary society; composed Of the daugh-
tiers and gfanddaughters of World war
veterans, that Mrs. Burt is working.
Her plan will include incorporation
into the Auxiliary records of the war
records of the Legion men, so that
future genealogists will have no
trouble in locating the war records Of
their granddads.

Steam Turbine Not Modern Invention

Steam Turbine Not Modern Invention.
Experiments with steam engine
invention were being made 100 years
before the Christian era by an old
Greek experimenter of Alexandria.
He had an apprentice named Hero.
Hero constructed the first steam tur-
bine engine which was of the reaction
airy type, but for all that 1t would spin
like top. He also invented a steam
whistle and a pneumatic blower by
which he could sound trumpets and
organ pipes In way that mystified
his public. Hero also made temple
doors open and close mysteriously by
use of compressed air and pistons. He
made founta'n which is still philos-
ophic toy known by his name. He
made the first machines to be put in
operation by inserting coin In a slot
and "dioptric or spying tube" which
was the forerunner OF modern SPY
lass and opera glass.

PRIVILEGES OF AGE

n
THERE are some older men and.
women who seem to think that
just because they are full of years, as
the old expression is, that they are
exempt from many of the demands of
good manners Now this is true in
some cases. For instance, if a mans
old age has made it difficult to stand
in the street car he should certainly
not try to get up for an old lady unless
obviously she is feebler than he
But old people are not privileged
and they should remember that they
are not privileged to be brutally frank.
l think that this is one of the greatest
and most frequent instances of bad
manners among the old. They ac-
quire a bluntness with years. Then
they say to themselves: mo one

ELUE CATERPILLARS
FOUND BY ZOOLOGIST

SwaIloued 'Em Long Ago.

Discovery of the first blue caterpillar
known to biology has been reported to
the American Association for the Nd
vancement OF Science by DIR. John IA.
Gerould professor of zoology at Dart
mouth College, according 10 the Assocf-
ated Press. The scientist was breeding
butterflies in his laboratory at Han

The next day more blue visitors ap-
pearea. Breeding them DR.. Gerould
found they bred true. and he decided
that they were what is known to bioio-
gists as a sport" In this case the
sport" was caused by mutation in
the digestive system. which resulted in
cells absorbing only the blue in the
chIorophyii OF the plants.
A later experiment caused the zoolo-
cist TO conclude that blue caterpillars
existed all the time, but that they had
been eaten so promptly by sparrows
that their presence never had become
known.
This experiment consisted In placing
outdoors clover plants bearing known
number of blue and green caterpiilars.
Soon the blue. plainly visible on the
green leaves, had been eaten by the
birds. and the green. with their protec-
tive coloring. remained.

rested Miss Thelma Harvey of EOS East
Fifty-sfxth street and the manager Of
the club. Arthur Sachs of 42s Foster
avenue. Brooklyn. The one was charged
with dancing obscenely, the other with
permitting it.
A maid gathered Miss Harvey's pro-
fessional costume into small box and
accompanied her to a police station.
Later, in the West Side Court, Magis-
trate Harding asked Patrolman John j.
Hines to describe the costume.
"A beaded headdress." said Hines.

"Weil,~ conceded Hines. 'sle was
also wearing small pair OF trunks that
they cailed cloth OF gold.'
In vain Attorney Frederick J. Sullivan
explained that Miss Harvey merely
danced the dance Of the Pharsohs, bit
of interpretive art done with the feet
close together" The Magistrate held
her in $500 bail for a hearing next Tues
day and ruled that the costume must be
retained as evidence. The lawyer repre-
sented this to be most embarrassing, as
Miss Harvey was scheduled to do the
same dance in the same costume last
night in up in the Clouds" at the Forty
