History Shows That Particular orna

From the descriptions discovered on

Egyptian women used band with
streamers to fasten their hair, tying
this in bow at the back or side. This
style was retained by many people,
through many centuries. and In the
Fourteenth century It was used as a
"filet"-merely .raight band with
out steamers, which held the hair
away from the forehead and the eyes.
1t was this filet which gave rise to
the streamersd headdresses which
were much In vogue during the reign

TELLS OF SHOUTING FISH
Biology Experts Hear About Newly Discovered Illuminated Fish Which Gives Out sounds.

St. Louis, Dec. 29.--Dr. .. w. Greene of the University of Missouri told the federation Of American So- cieties for Experimental Biology of a newly discovered illuminated fish which shouts.
 The fish was discovered in the wa ters of Monterey Bay, Cal, and has been named "Poric Thysnotatus." Be- cause Of the peculiar construction of its swim bladder, 1t is able 10 shout, he said. The bladder is "U" shaped. each leg about the size of a mans finger Between the legs is a mem brane having a small hole.
 When the shouter bears down upon q smaller fish it drives some of the gaseous contents of the bladder from one end 10 tho other, producing the noise. The swim bladder contains a gas with larger percentage of oxy- gen than atmospheric air. sometimes as high as 90 10 SS per cent oxygen. Hundreds of tests were taken to de- termine that fact, said Dr. Greene.
 The fish bears $50 Eleaming phos- phorescent lights, he said.

Chinese-American Boy Hopes to Prove By Photo He Was in New Britain Last
 Spring; Bright Pupil, Principal Says
Robert Jung Wants to Learn English Language and Talk
 Like Other AmericanBorn Folks

When was this photograph of Robert Jung taken?
 Upon the answer of this question may hinge the fate of the 1s-year-old Chineses- -Americdir schoolboy who, immigration officials say, was brought into this country over the Canadian border last June.
 Friends of Robert claim that the photograph was taken last Easter, or about that time. l. Berkowitz, pro- prietor of the Arcade Studio, also be- lieves it was taken at that time of the year, but he has no record of it in the books, and, therefore, cannot make affidavit that Jung was in New Britain before June. He is morally certain that the photograph was taken before June but is unable to say so under oath.
 Jung lives with the proprietor of a laundry on Church street. The pro- prietor was born in San Francisco and takes an interest in young Chinese American boys. When Robert applied to him for work he advised him to go to school.
 But l must work to get living" Robert said.
 Live here and l will provide your meals" the proprietor said.
 So Robert started out to get an cd ucation. He was very much surprised recently when an immigration inspec- tor appeared and told him he had been smuggled in over the Canadian border last June.
 'I was born in San Francisco" said Robert.
 Prove it." replied the inspector
 That was one thing Robert could not do. Birth records among the Chinese in San Francisco are not re- liable. So he found himself victim or circumstances. He believes that hs trouble results from q case of mis- taken identity. A Chinese youth was brought across the border last June and the immigration inspector is con vinced that Robert is the man. But the boy insists that he is a native born son of Uncle Sam, has beon in New Britain for two years and in Connecticut for six years.
 Miss Elizabeth Clark. principal of the Bartlett school, where Robert is ! member Of n special class for pupils who are learning the English lan- suage, spoke in complimentary
