ST. JOSEPH. Mich, April 25.--
The grand jury probe of the House

today on limitations of free love"
among members of the colony, it

1t is rumored that following testi-

portunity" was given for intimate
friendships, the State investigators
will devote large part of the
coming sessions to a grilling quiz
on this question.
One witness, speaking of the free

sheltered under the wing OF Israel's
chief, Benjamin Purnell, admitted
that the observance of the rule OF

couples to live a. man and wife,

PHEASANT
WORLD s BEST
DANCER
Record of Week Common in
Mating Season, and Three
Week Stunt Has Been Seen.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 20.-
why enthuse over 105-hour dane
ing records?" shifts the pheasant at
the Zoo.
The reason for the birds scorn
was explained yesterday by G. EN-
erson Brown, superintendent OF the
Geological Gardens. Pheasants of
the male variety, according to
Brown, far eclipse humans in their
ability to dance. continuously. In
stead Of merely dancing 100 hours,
the pheasant thinks nothing OF a
whole week of dancing. One spe-
cies-the argus pheasant--has been
known to keep 1t up for three
weeks.
But there is method in Mr..
Pheasant's madness, for his reward
for successfully hanging up rec
ord is generally the bestowal of
affections of some lady pheasant
who has been a witness of his
ability.
Only Mating Fancy.
The dancing among the pheasants
Is feature Oily Vi the HldltIS
season, Mr. Brown said. 1t is not
strictly continuous, but the rest
periods. in view of the duration, are
no longer than those of mankind in
marathon dancing.
The male bird literally dances
attendance on the female of the
species. The argus pheasant in
particular is noted for his dancing
prowess.
The pheasant flapper is gener
ally made the center of the male
birds dance. Round and round, with
all his feathers prinked up to flash
in the sunlight. goes the male, his
lady love looking on in somewhat
bored fashion. The object OF af-
lection, unlike the flapper, is
dressed in very subdued plumage,
but her sutton makes up for lack
of coloring
If other males seek to pay court
to the young pheasant debutante,
they, too, join the circle and com.
mence the dance. 1t Is a case of
survival of the fittest, as IN mara.
