Some Naturalists Assert Squirrels Freeze Stiff

Charles Payne, naturalist, who is
spending the winter in San Antonio,

should be taught more about the natural
sciences. Mr.. Payne is from Wichita.

THE faculty of love and hate is a
characteristic in all animal life. The
birds and animals of most all species
love and mate for life; and, in most
cases, are more true in their relations
than the human animal. The lion.
known as the king of beasts, sets n
noble example by mating for life and
will defend his mate to the uttermOst.
The grizzly bear mother is, most to
be feared than any animal in North
America. Certain fish, both male and
female, protect their nests Of eggs and
will fight all intruders. The Ameri-
can or white-headed eagle live mostly
on fish, some of which he takes from
the fish hawk known as the osprey (;
the osprey catches the fish and before
he carries it very far the eagle at
tacks him when the fish il dropped
and the eagle catches it in the air be-
fore il reaches the water or ground :;
he either devours it himself or carries
it TO the nest for the young.
I'm the North where there are many
lakes in the country which freeze over
with thick ice, the people cut holes and
fish through the ice; the fish are cast
out on the ice in below zero weather
and in short time are frozen solid !;
after many hours when the fish are re-
moved and taken to the homes of the
fishermen. these fish are put in cold
water and they soon come to life and
swim around. They then can be dress
ed without breaking them. II is as
serted by many people that the COM
mon squirrel will freeze solid and re-
turn to life when the weather turns
warm. ....

position TO the measure, by the small oil
producer, is already quite apparent.
Hearing on the Butkett Senate bill
proposing the repeal of the open port
law, will be held before Senate Commit

Grant Promises Another Sermon
To 'Sweep the Cobwebs Array"

"unpatriotic and unchurchly acts"
| three years ago. The present Bishop
Manning. forbade the marriage of the
rector with the divorced Mrs. Phillip
Lydig and ordered the clergymen within
| his jurisdiction TO refuse to marry the
couple.
Makes Church Officials Gasp.
1t was on this occasion that DR..
Grant burst forth in a flaming de-
nunciation of the ban of the Protestant
Episcopal Church against the marriage
of person who has been divorced.
Following this up with the widely-read
book of love poems, he left high church
officials gasping.
Years ago DIR. Grant took up the
gauntlet in defense of the laboring man.
His own ecclesiastical superiors were
inclined to encourage him in this and
to congratulate him until he established
in the Church of the Ascension pub
lie forum. DR.. Grant preached 10 his
fashionable congregation on Sunday
fOrenoons and presided at his decidedly
democratic forum on Sunday evenings.
Church dignitaries were not sure that
it was dignified or reverent to hold
forum in a church, and they became
perfectly certain it wasn't when ideas
decidedly radical began TO be expressed
therein.
Bishop Manning at last forbade the
use of the church for the purposes of
the forum. DIR. Grant submitted to The
order, but transferred the forum TO the
parish house. Pugnacity as well as
sincerity is an impression which eman-
ates from this energetic cleric. And his
very pugnacity no less than his 'sincer-
ity endears him 10 his congregation.
Adopts Waif Left on Doorstep.
The man who defied his bishop more
than once, and set at naught some of
the most precious teachings of his
church, is the same man, too, who
adopted the little waif left one win
ter night on his doorstep. He did not
turn her over 10 a religious founding
asylum nor to the good graces of city
institution. From the moment he
sickly little girl was brought in by his
housekeeper, the clergyman-so fierce
in battle-took the infant tenderly to
his heart. He named her Faith Grant.
He adopted her. He walked the floor
with her nights when she cried. He
watched by her bed when she lay ill.
And when she found the fight for life
too much. he mOurned her sincerely.
OF such contradictions is the battling
parson made--Or of such consiStencies,
for his friends would say it is his ten
derness in behalf of the oppressed which
makes him belligerent toward their foes.
"A lot Of times l don't agree with DR..
Grant" admitted a wealthy professional
man, a member of the Ascension cOngre-
CATION, but l attend church there be-
cause I think he believes he's right,
because l like him personally, because
sometimes he really is right--and be-
cause he wakes me up mentally"
"And.7 he added, after a moment,
because I like a fight"

after which the male fertilizes them.
The sea otter, seal, waruS, sea lion and
sea elephants are animals that live in
water and on land: the whale and
porpoise are animals that live wholly
in the water. Animals have lungs and
breathe air; some animals, like the
shipping turtle, alligators. frogs and
water beetles can live in or out of
water.
Most scientific men say if the
yertebra of the neck is severed, death
occurs Immediately. This is not true
with the swapping turtle; take large
turtle, cut its head off, ship the head
in one direction and its body in an
other, and at the end of the third day,
both ends may still have life within
them, although separated by two or
three thousand miles. In the cold

THE young Of our land should learn

of the finest collection of antlers and
horns in the world. The young IN

about the reproduction Of plant, ami.

New York Episcopal Clergy
men Will Reply to Critics,
He Says, With More Des-
criptions of "ReIics of
Witch Age"
BY JANE COMPTON.


Copyright. 1923. by The San Antonio Light
New York, Jan. 20.-He is going to
preach sermon tomorrow much more
drastic than the one which reused the
storm of criticism. This is the answer
Of the Rev. pr. Percy Stickney Grant
to the people who have arisen in hor-
ror and anger against his description
Of various church forms as relics of
the witch age.
III sweep the cobwebs away" says
DR.. Grant.
The stormy petrol of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in New York City
is causing no end of concern TO his
bishop, TO his more conservative fell
low clcrgymen, to every one but him
self He doesn't believe in Conscrat-
ing churches; he doesn't believe Jesus
performed any miracles which science
and especially auto-suggestion cannot
explain; he doesn't see anything sacred
about marriage except nobility of con-
duct on the part of the married, and
he believes in the marriage of divorced
persons, which is something of which
his church thoroughly disapproves.
The Rev. DR.. Grant is, indeed, re-
ported to be still betrothed to Mrs.
Phillip Lydig, who has been divorced
twice. He recently published a book
of love verses of which several were
dedicated 10 that lady.
Has Strong Personality.
A picturesque figure is this Episco-
palian clergyman who, on each Sunday
fills the fashionable Church of the As
cension; just off lower Fifth avenue,
with capacity congregations.
Tall, ruddy-cheeked and looking a
good deal like an English squire who
would enjoy riding to hounds if he
were not too busy with PASTORAL duties,
DIR. Grant is a notable figure in any
There is something about
his heavy jaw with its almost sullen
expression which ought TO warn adj
versaries to keep their distance. The
sullen expression is belied by brown eyes
that often twinkle and that always give
you a glance as straight as an arrow.
The deeply-lined face breaks readily
into smile.
He seems perhaps 80 years old. his
somewhat curly brown hair grizzled
with gray. Usually his speech is slow,
a trifle drawing, and his manner
suits his voice. It is efficient but I'M
hurried and as nearly imperturable as
is humanity possible =.
Since the witchcraft sermon, one OF
DR.. Grants fellow clerbymen has ac-
cused him of being zone Of number OF
men to whom notoriety is meat and
drink" Although he has certainly not
the public eye during his long
pastorate at the Church Of the. Ascen-
sion. yet DR.. Grants personality, his
and his direct glance give
an impression of sincerity. However
much you may differ from his religious
and social views you cannot escape the
idea that he believes in them wholly.
Because be has championed causes
unpopular with conservatives, DR..
Grant has come more than once nm
der the discipline of his bishop. The
late Bishop BUrch rebuked him for

Teach Women What to Wear
at Glasses at Main Avenue

this lesson was that a short wasted
person should not employ horizontal
lines about the waist, or any other
thing that might tend to draw atten.
ton TO the waist line. The fourth, and
last lesson taught, was last Thursday
afternoon, and in it the class was
taught the testing and cutting of pat.
terms. Tuesday afternoon, in the fifth
lesson, the fitting of the dress to Sc
cure the lines desired will be the
problem.
Blends Avoid Yellow.
The sewing of the dress, and the
correct seams, will be the problem for
the sixth lesson, while finishing the
hens and a study of the neck lines
will be taken up in the seventh lesson.
In this lesson it will be brought out
that women with round necks should
wear V1shaped collars, while the round
collar should be employed by women
Of slender necks. The correct sleeve
length for varying types will be the
problem studied in the eighth lesson,
and in the ninth and final instruction,
the shrinking and setting Of co'ors will
be taught. In this lesson the women
will be taught how to set the colors
in the dresses they have made so that
they will not fade after being laundered,
and also prepare the goods so that they
will not shrink. For example. in shrink
ing and setting a dress made of pink
material, the dress is placed in a pan
of warm salt water and left there for
twenty minutes. and after drying should
be pressed with the selvedged edges to-
gether.
The tenth lesson will be merely a re-
view Of the entire course.
Special attention will be given TO the
lessons involving the relation of color
to the individual. As an example of
this instruction it was said that in the
case of a blond, black material es-
pecially if it is touched with bright
colors, is exceedingly tasteful. White is
also good for this type. but yellow. should
be avoided unless it is very pale. Red
and green art both, il will be taught,
good for blond compilations.
Taking the case of the other ex-
IRENE, the brunette, black is good when
white is used next to the face. Creamy
white is especially good for brunettes
TO use in this manner. Purple should
be avoided by brunettes unless used
very carefully, while green, when used
in dark silent tone, is very tasteful
