What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Taurus.

The aspects of tomorrow are en-
couraging and favor research, inves-
tigation and work of a planning char
acter. They do not, however, counsel
very aggressive efforts along the lines
of action, but apparently indicate a
condition where careful thought and
deiiberation will help to reach a salts
factory conclusion or solution of a
problem that has been worrying YOU
for some time past. In the afternoon
and evening the conditions are mega
tive, and, while they do not presage
any adverse opinions, neither do they
Indicate an atmosphere of a very fay
orable nature. At such a time it lis
well to rest as much as possible and
to do only those things which are
absolutely necessary in order to COM
ply with the duties of the occupation
in which you are engaged.
A child born tomorrow will be nor
mally healthy and but for a few tran
STORY ailments will cause no worry
or anxiety on the ground of physi-
cal weakness. 1t will develop, given
wholesome environment and proper
care, with normal characteristics. It's
disposition will be dociIe and amiable
Its character will be established on
sound principles and it will very
rarely. if ever. do those things which
II should not do or leave undone those
things which it should do.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are possibly wondering why you have
failed in that immediate task which
you set out to accomplish You have
thought very carefully over all your
actions, and can see no flaw, but are
prepared to find fault with what you
are pleased to call your standby A
careful analysis of the situation, how
ever, will convince you, If you are
frank with yourself. that the reason
YOU did not succeed was because OF
your lack of perseverance and con
sistency. Consistency is often mis-
taken for stubbornness, but there is
a world of difference between the two
conditions, as one is a virtue and the
other is a failure. But going over al
circumstances, you will realize thai
at the first sign of competition you
have changed your course of action
in orders, as you thought, to meet an
onther atmosphere, whereas, if you
had held to your original plan, the
success of your whole scheme would
undoubtedly have been assured. Yol
are inclined to be pugnacious, but no.
very often to the extent of quarrel
someness. You generally insist upor
getting what you think is comoing t.
you, and try as far as possible to give
others a square deal. Your will is {
strong one, but you are disposed a
times to change your actions, in ordei
20 adjust a condition to new circum
stances.

KISUMI, Uganda, East Africa,
| April 25.-My start across the Somali
Desert was made quietly and in ad-
vance of my schedule. The Somalis
had murdered a white British official a
few days before and received word
that the authorities intended to pre-
vent my leaving. But I got off before
the word came.
The district 1 crossed was under
military rule. Because Of the warlike
nature of the natives, it's labyrinth
nature and the tropical diseases that
lurk in its Businesses. the section is
the only part of British East Africa
that is still in its original primitive
state.
Obtained Rare Skins.
1 have been able to collect some rare
animal skins. Unfortunately several
fine skins were lost on the Tana
River. owing to constant drenching by
rain and the carelessness of the
canoemen. Among them were a
Peterso. an ant-bear, a porcupine and
my prize specimen. my one and only
Kudu. a species of brilliantly colored
gaZelle, which went overheard with
the men when a giant lizard dropped
from a tree and took possession of the
boat. I saw only two Kudu on the
! whole trip, so my feelings can be un-
derstood.
My feelings were partly soothed,
however. when l managed to capture
and bottle several specimens of the
hairless mole. These will be sent to
the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and
Sciences and will be, I believe, the
first specimens to reach America
There are only a few specimens in
Europe.
RewOrd for Mole.
I worked with my boys day after
day without success until I finally
offered a reward of 10 shillings for
them. Then a little Somali boy sat
over hole the better part of a day
before he finally speared two. -Appar-
emily they never come above the sur
face of the ground. They dig their
runways in places two and three feet
below the surface and their runways
branch out from the main passage
in all directions like the tributaries
of a river.
When the animals are working near
the surface they can evidently hear
a footstep overhead and, although

REINDEER OFFERS
NEW KIND OF MEAT
Steaks and Chops of Alaska
Animals Popular in
New York.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Alaska has
its eye on the gradual failing on In
American beef production, and asplreS
to develop an equivalent OF the once
famous Texas steer in it's own Arctlc
reindeer. Charles De Witt Brewer, a
New Yorker who has lived Al years In
Alaska, told a gathering at the City
Club recently that New York City
was already taking 10000 pounds OF
reindeer beef a year, and predicted
by the end of 1925 it would consume
375,000 pounds.
What Mr.. Brewer called a def
nitely established beef industry in
the North rested, he said, upon herds
of 300, 900 beef-bred reindeer which
fatten in a great grass triangle as
large as Texas, whose apex Is Point
Barrow, 200 miles north of the Arctic
Circle. BY 1910 he expected 4,OOO,OoU
head.
Nome was the packing house center,
and so far the meat output was only
about large enough to meet the DO
mestic demand, according TO Mr.
Brewer However, the nucleus OF a
future export business was provided
in the growing New York trade, and
refrigerator boats were bringing
beeves direct to the Hudson River by
WAY Ol oSdllIc NiiO
Canal.
Dogs Used on Sleighs.
The reindeer, Santa Claus to the
contrary, had become synonymous
with steaks and chops in the North
country rather than sleigh bells, said
Mr.. Brewer. Sledging there was now
done exclusively by dogs, which
could traverse stretches reindeer
could not.
Beef possibilities of the reindeer
| were first discovered when DIR. Shell
don Lewis, missionary, imported
them from Siberia to succor the Eski
| mo- who were threatened with starva
ton by extinction of game animals
| The present herds have been bred ur
| from the 200 original animals
| brough over Bering Sea between 189:
and 1902.
Reindeer calfskin furnishes what
Mr.. Brewer said was the warmest
| fur for it's weight in the world. spe
| cially favored for clothing by Eskimo
and Chuckchees, inhabitants and ex
plorers. Alaskan calves, however
were too valuable as beef, and Alaska
| is arranging to buy skins from the
Russion Soviet in Siberia, where
| there is at present an oversupply o.
| reindeer meat.

they have not been molested-for the
natives were as much surprised as
/ was at their appearance-they rush
back to the deep runway. They exca-
vate and ventilate by cutting n round
hole at the surface. This hole is
about the size of half dollar when
finished and, regardless Of the loose
sand, 1t is perfect circle and rarely
varies in circumference.
Throw Up Loose Sand.
Through this little opening they
throw up the loose sand and earth
with their tiny feet, which have stiff
hairs sticking out from each toe.
They work with lightning like rapid
ity and when their feet are actually
in action 1t looks like a miniature vol
cano in eruption. Strange to say, the
sand is thrown up in such a way that
cone-shaped pile, foot or more
high. is formed around the hole.
These strange little animals are
perfectly at home in the water. One
of those brough tin was alive. I put
1t in n pail of water, where 1t swain
about and rested on the bottom for
over two hours without any signs
of those brought in was alive. I put
there longer, for | was getting ready
to move camp. Both of these speci-
mems had, besides ants, some green
vegetable matter and the white
roots of grass in their stomachs.
Their stomachs were immense for so
small a beast.
In Restricted Sphere.
I found their kind active for
about a mile west of the kinna
River. and there they stopped
abruptly, and the common mole of
East Africa took their place. 1 am
sending the measurement charts OF
the specimens to the Brooklyn Muse
um, and l am also keeping duplicates
to insure against their loss. / am
also sending a few curios and a bun
die of poisoned spearheads and ar
rows, mostly gifts from the natives.
l am travelling as light as possible
across the Kongo. on account of diff
culties in getting porters. / plan to
go north to kilo and from there to
Pigmy country, then northwest into
the French Kongo, then northeast tc

I shall either cut across to the rail
way or come out by way of the Niger

SEES IN BUILDINGS

slightly" "Grotesque," " "Mis-
fits" M. E. Bishop Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA April 25.-Bishop
Joseph F. Berry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. in a criticism pup
lished in an ecclesiastic paper, ialfly
castigates church buildings for the
sin of ugliness.
"Grotesoue, "unsightly," afro
cious" and "misfits" are a few of
Bishop Berry's descriptive phrases
which he heaps on present-day church
architecture. He defends his accusa-
tion on the ground of many years
careful observation of ecclesiastic
building and his dedication of more
than 800 Methodist Episcopal churches
during his tenure of office.
NO other class of public or private
buildings has been bungled so gener-
ally" the bishop says of churches.
Fo further adds the sin of erecting
what he terms square, overgrown
dry goods boxes" has not been con-
fined to any section, but extends from
Maine to California, although being
worst in the Middle and Far West,
because those territories are newer
and less conservative.
Everything has been sacrificed to
obtain the maximum seating capacity
at the minimum cost. The architec-
tural misfits are by no means CON
them in the East. Now to my simple
mind the ideal school of church ar
chitecture is the Gothic. Its lines
are always simple, chaste and salts
flying. The suggestion Is one of wor-
ship
Stresses His Point.
The senior bishop stresses this point.
II is the purpose of a church, he says.
to express religious impulses outside
as well as afford a place for their eX-
preston inside. THE character of a
church building is so closely related
10 the possibilities of spiritual work
which should be done within its sacred
walls that to make a failure out of a
church building is an act that comes
very near to being a crime. Because
a building is of low cost IS no rea-
son why itsh ould be ugly. Tho blum
ders made by building committees
within my knowledge make me al
most shudder"
Bishop Berry especially urges the
employment of the best architect in
drawing the plans. Good plans may
seem expensive" he says, but poor
plans are more So

HAWAII RECORDS UPSET
BY JEALOUS FRESHMAN
Personates King of 100 Years Ago
to Change Birth Anniversary
to March II.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, April s.-Believing
that March II was the best day in the
year for birthday celebrations, no
matter in whose honor, a young
Trishman, nearly 100 years ago, drift
ed to the Hawaiian Islands and upset
the records of local history. Only re-
Gently was the error discovered by the
Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian
Warriors, who have set the matter
straight.
The wandering Irishman became the
boon companion of the King Of Ha-
vail, Kamehameha III, and learned
20 his distress that the king was in
the habit of celebrating his birthday
on the day he was born, August II.
He explained to the king why this
should not be, and advanced colorful
arguments for change to March II.
The friendly king consented, and kept
up the practice as long as he lived.
Preparing a set of tableaux for
presentation next June, to honor King
Kamehameha, the Sons and Daugh-
,ers found conflicting records; some
set forth he was born August il and
others March II. Archives finally
fixed the date as in August, and then
some oldtimers came forward with
he story of the rowing admirer OF st.

LOSES FIGHT FOR LAND.
Maryland Man Encroached, Court
Holds in Suit Against State.
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CUMBERLAND, Md, April 25.-
Judge Albert A. Doub today dismissed
the petition of DIR. John A. Watson,
Piney Grove, this county, against the
Maryland State Roads Commission to
prevent the removal of certain build
ings, fencing and trees along the Wat
son property which borders on the
National highway.
The petition was filed after en-
ployes of the State Roads Commission
had removed fencing put UP by Wat
son along the road. Watson claimed
he owned the tract. His predecessors
in ownership had fenced the land,
Watson declared but the county finds
he has encroached on the original Sc
feet owned by the State. The court
presumes the old road must have been
located and designed in 1872 of g.
width sufficient to take care of the
immense traffic. The court also held
that the land dedicated to the public
use was presumed to vest in the pub
lie, and where adjoining property own
ers trespassed or attempted to inclose
any part of such land, the statutes
constituted such sets as mere nui-
sances. which never by lapse of time
ripen into a private right as against
public necessities.
