be preferable to seek new sources of
supply in the United States or abroad
than to move the American mills to
Canada in the event of an embargo on
the expectation of pulpwood, has
been filed with the royal commission,
which is completing its report to the
government on the question.
The moving Of American mills to
Canada would either involve the
scrapping of large Investments in the
United States or duplicating a part
or all of them in Canada" the memo
randum says adding that the growth
or this industry will be the result of
economic laws and not of statute
law"
1t also points out that about 80 per
cent OF the Dominion forest area is
public or crown owned and asserts
that from the standpoint of con-
servaton OF forest resources the en-
barge would seem absolutely use

measures affecting the remaining &
lands.
The proposed embargo would affect
only IL per cent of the total lumber
cut, the memorandum says, II farm
ers and settlers lands were exempt

Pueblo Indians Garry
Fetish When Hunting

The favorite hunt-fetish among the
Pueblo Indians was the mountain lion
or cougar, which they deemed the
king Of animals. Every Indian car
ried a fetish when he hunted, and de-
rived his power from 1t by putting its
mouth to his own and drawing in his
misunderstanding the breath" of the
image-and praying to it, or rather
the animal spirit it represented. to help
him.
The ceremony was indispensable at
the beginning Of hunt. Then before
following the trail the Indian initiated
the roar Of his patron beast, TO terrify
and bewilder the game He firmly
believed that without these supersti-
tious ceremonials he would stand no
chance at all in the hunt, but with
them he was sure to succeed. The ami
mails which were successful hunters
themselves were the objects of rever-
ence, and the Indian was careful to
invoke their aid, that his own pursuit
might be as fortunate as theirs.
The hunter, when he struck a trail,
took forked twig and placed 1t In
front OF a footprint, with the fork
opening backward. This was to trip
the fleeing game.-Detroit News.

HIGH TESTS FOR COUNTY COWS

The monthly report of the Northern
Valley Cow-Testing Association fol
January shows great Improvement in
| large number of the herds in the AS
ISOLATION. Holmes j. Hardesty, Berry
vile, Va, carries off the highest
honors for the best herd average. Mr..
Hardesty recently disposed OF nom
paying cow in his herd by means OF
the Contrasting Association, and he
has for the month of January the
second leading herd in the state OF
Virginia.
The second leading herd in the As
ISOLATION is owned by Harry H. Hotel
of Strasburg, Va, who is building up a
pure-bred Holstein herd. MIR. Hotel
recently purchased pure-bred Hols-
tein sire of good type and blood-line,
which will be great help to his herd.
He also disposed of non-paying cow.
j. S. Haldeman of Winchester, Va,

Honduras Turkeys More
Gaudy Than Our Peacock

Brilliant iridescent plumage distin-
cuisines the Honduras turkey, It being
black tipped with brassy green and
fringed with greenish copper. The
head is bright blue and yellow, and the
rump region is steel-blue, with brilliant
eyes Of green-blue margined with cop
per marking the ends Of the grayish
tail feathers. It Is said to be much
more gaudy than the peacock, and
though somewhat smaller than our
Eastern wild turkey It's meat is claimed
to be much better.
Experiments at geological gardens
indicate that this fancy bird will breed
with the less colorful of our domestic
species. 1t is the only species Of tur-
key, however, which is native to tropi-
cal lowlands. The Mexican turkey,
frem which our domestic turkey Is be-
lieCed to have originated, lives on the
high tablelands. 1t has the character
istic white-tipped tail feathers of the
domestic bird. Wild turkeys In Ari-
IONA and New Mexico show this fea-
ture while turkeys Of the Rio
Grande valley of southern Texas are
partly like the Mexican birds and
partly like the Eastern wild turkey.

Had No Divers Suit

What Is said to be record claim for
damage to a watch, which had been
sold with guarantee against mechan-
ical imperfection, was reported by a
New York jewelry retailer. The watch
was Of the wrist variety, and had been
a birthday gift from the mother of the
young woman who made the claim. She
brought 1t back to the retailer couple
of months after the purchase and COM
planned that 1t would not run. On the
strength of the guarantee she demand
ed a new watch. The retailer quickly
ascertained that Fer charge was true,
but when he examined the watch more
closely he found the works almost en-
tirely covered with rust. The young
woman was at first unwilling to admit
that the watch had been badly treated
in any way, but finally admitted that
she had worn it willie taking bath.
Under the circumstances the jeweler
cou1e not see where the watch was at
fault, but he offered to replace the
works at factory cost. This offer. how
ever, did not make much of hit with
the claimant.

How to Make a Hsctoaraph.

A photograph is pad composed
of gelatin and glycerin used for max
ing many impressions of writing and
drawing. This pad is made in the
proportions of one ounce Of gelatin to
six and one-half ounces Of glycerin.
These two ingredients should be al
lowed to mix by slowly heating for
several hours over vessel filled with
hot salt water. When thoroughly
melted the mixture is poured into a
long, shallow pan and allowed to
harden, when it will present smooth
even surface. A special copying ink
Is needed, which can be purchased
at a stationery store. The matter
to be copied is written and placed
face downward on the pad. After a
short period the imprint of the writ
ing will be transferred to the pad.
About one hundred copies may be
made by placing blank paper over the
tracings on the pad and gently rub
bling, thus transferring the impress
sion.

No Vsnon,ous Snakes
on the Isle of Pines

There are no yenomous reptiles or
insects on the Isle of Pines There
are four varieties of the smaller
snakes. The most formidable reptile
is the maja-a constructor. One of the
largest known specimens perhaps Is
the one killed near Nueva Corona
some years ago in a manger while en-
joying his siesta after having dined
upon brooding hen and her eggs.
1t measured twelve feet in length
and was approximately six inches In
diameter except through the part dis
tended by the hen. It's skin. cured,
looked like the souvenir Of some he
role encounter, but the truth Is that
the noncombative nature of the maJa
Is so ridiculously at variance with his.
dreadful aspect that his name is APP
piled as a term of contempt to bus
terers and swaggerers. Or. Luz Her
nandez In his book, "The Salubrity OF
the Isle Of Pines" recommends the
white meat Of the maja to his pa
tients.
The lacertfllia are represented BY a
few harmless lizards, plenty Of
pretty chameleons and variety OF the
iguanas, rarely seen. whose flesh is
esteemed as food. Specimens have
been found three feet in length, but its
innocuous nature is evident from the
fact that 1t makes a very wellbehaved
family pet.

TRAGEDY OF AGED BUFFALO
Abandoned, cIlngs to Water Hcls In
PftlabEe Solitude Until He
Perishes.

~The buffalo bull that has outltTed
his usefulness Is one of the most
pitiable objects in the whole range Of
natural history" says Col. Henry In
man in his "The Old Santa Fe Trail"
published in 1897, according to the
Detroit News. Abandoned to his
fate, he may be discovered, in his
dreary isolation, near some stream or
lake, where it does not tax him too
severely to find good grass. In this
new stage of his existence he seems
to have completely lost his courage.
Frightened at the rustling Of leaf,
he is the very incarnation Of nervous
ness and suspicion. Solitude, foreign
to his whole nature, has changed him
into a new creature.
Nobody ever saw one of these mis-
cradle or forlorn creatures dying a
natural death or ever heard Of such
an occurrence. The cowardly coyote
and the gray wolf had already marked
him for their own and they rarely
missed their calculations"

Origin of the Collar

In the patent Office at Washington
there Is woman's department, with
the specifications of the patents ar
ranged In chronological order. The
first on the list is patent taken out
in 1909 by Mrs. Mary Kieser for a
process of weaving straw with silk.
One woman inventor, Hannah Lord
Montague, is honored by public me-
mortal In Troy, N. Y, where she was
born. As Mrs. Montague was doing
the family washing on a hot summer
day In 1926. 1t occurred to her that a
shirt remained clean for a longer
period than collar, so when her hus-
bands shirts were dry she detached
the collars from them. Subsequently
she started to making detachable col
lars for sale to her neighbors. and the
demand for them reached such pitch
that before 1910 several factories OF
astring collars" as they were called In
their infancy. were established in Troy,
which still possesses the largest collar
factory in the world
