SENATE OPPOSING
NEW GERMAN PACT
Favored Nation" Section Is
at Issue-HugheS to
Attend Hearing.

Secretary Hughes will appear Mon
day before the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee TO answer questions
concerning the German commercial
treaty sent TO the Senate some time
ago for ratification.
Considerable opposition has de-
Neloped in the Senate regarding pro-
visions or the convention which pro-
vide against establishment Of dis
criminatory rates by American or
German merchant vessels in favor of
the nationals of either country.
The Secretary is expected to argue
for ratification of the treaty, which
would replace the commercial agree
ment that expired early this month,
and to lay stress on the fact that the
favored nation clauses are reciprocal.
II has been described as a model for
similar conventions with other ma
pending action on it by the Senate.
Some Senators have contended that
American Merchant Marine vessels
should not be prohibited from giving
preferential rates to American ship
pers. 1t is believed, however, that
If a way can be found TO iron out
objections of these Senators and at
discrimination by American ships, the
State Department will not object to
modification of language employed in
those sections of the treaty having
to do with favored nation treatment.

"ARMY" VISITS COOLIDGE.
New Jersey Supporters Renew
Pledge of Allegiance to Chief.

The Coolidge Army invaded the
Office of the President today. This
body, composed of $50 women, ardent
Republican workers of the third con-
gressional district of New Jersey,
called upon the President to pay
their respects and to pledge Their
allegiance and support. The intro
duction was made by Senator Edge of
New Jersey and brief addresses were
made by Mrs. Lewis S. Thompson,
Republican national committeewoman
Of New Jersey, and Mrs. j. NJ. Brown,
general of the Coolidge Army" The
latter, in describing the work Of her
organization, told the President that
there are already more than 10000
women of New Jersey, members of
the army" all of whom before join
ing took an oath of allegiance to
support the President of the United
States. Besides Gen. Brown there
were in today's delegation 10 colonels,
40 captains and a large number OF
lieutenants.

Time Ripe for Fight.
These are a few of the enemies
which are combating man in his eff
fort to grow food for the eyer-in-
creasing population. His ability to
combat them must decide the future
of human life on earth. His intel
ligence must seek out the natural
enemies of the insects that keep them
down in their native land. DR.. How
ard in making his statement does
not wish to be considered in the light
of an alarmist. He has simply
pointed out the dangers that confront
the world. He believes that the prob
lem should be faced fairly, and that
the people should realize the need for
prompt measures and cooperation.
Man will probably triumph over these
insect pests, just as he has triumphed
over those that attacked him directly.
but the first victory was gained
through the expenditure of much time
and money, and the people must be
ready to pay again. Now, when the
insects are less numerous, is the ef-
ffcient time to battle with them. A
few years hence will be a different
story.

PLANETS AND DEITIES
HONORED BY DAYS"
Origin of Seven Periods in Week
Traced to Early Anglo
Saxon Tongue.

In no case is the Anglo-Saxon origin
of the English language emphasized
more forcibly and constantly than in
the names given to the days of the
week, each of which is called by its
present name from having been the
day upon which one or other of the
more potent Saxon deities was espe-
cially worshiped.
Nearly all heathens are known to
have worshipped the sun. It's rising
is a signal for the labors. of the oav
to begin; IT'S setting, for them to
close; its warmth is necessary to the
growth and TO the ripening of the
necessa ries of life By the, Saxons
the first day of the week was set
apart for the alteration of this lumi-
nary. and this day was then called
Suns Daeg, or Sunday.
Next in Importance to the sun was
the orb of night, whose softened
beams, and occasional disappearance
during the time of change are re-
garded by savage nations as some
thing mysterious. The second day of
the week was devoted to the worship
of this satellite, and from this it came
to be called Moons Daeg, or Monday.
The other chief idols of the Saxons
were deified heroes and their wives
The Teuton legend ran that the
earth had son whose name was
Tuisco and that from him proceeded
the whole human race. To his wor-
ship the third day of the week was
devoted and thus become Tuiscos S
Daeg. or Tuesday.
Wooden was the highest in rank of
all tho deities worshiped by the
northern nations. He was supposed
to have been the father of heroes,
and on enterting into war this god
was always invoked. The middle,
day of the seven was sacred to this
divinity, and from this circum stance
was called Woden's Daeg, or Wednes-
day.
Woden's son Thor was highly
regarded as the heir of his gre at
parents, and from him we have
Thor's Daeg, or Thursday
The last day, but one of the week
was devoted to the worship of Frea
or Friga, the wife of Wooden. and
mother of Thor, and was therefore
known as Frea's Daeg, or Friday.
The seventh day was sacred to the
divinity Scatter. and was called
Seator's Daeg, or Saturday.

nivors. or flesh eating animals. rather

was arched, his head and neck were
short and his limbs of moderate
length. showing no especial adapta-
tion for speed.
Development Gradual.
Eohippus had already travelled a
long way on the road of evolution,
however, for the number of his toes
were now reduced to four in front and
three behind. The subsequent develop
ment of Eohippus was as issthe case
in every strictly logical and natural
evolutionary process, one of adapta-
tion TO the necessities of life, and was
represented by four well defined
stages. as follows: Mesohippus, with
the number of toes reduced to three,
but with teeth still short crowned ::
Meiryhippus, with three toes, but the
teeth having become long crowned :,
Hippairon, with long crown teeth, but
with three toes still present, the lat
eral one of which is so reduced as to
become functionless; Eqqus, in which
the cheek teeth were full length and
the lateral toes reduced to splints, as
in the modern horse.
In the course of three or four mil
lion years, therefore, the teeth of
Eohippus had changed from the low
browsing type to the long, prismatic,
complex grazing teeth; his short
neck much elongated, the length of
his face greatly augmented and his
eyes shifted farther back; his limbs
had become relatively longer, with
greater speed facility; his feet changed
from their primitive posture, when
several of his toes reached the
ground, to that when his weight was
borne on the tip of a single toe on
each foot. Thus Eohippus of the
Lower Eocene, the diminutive horse
about the size of a cat or fox terrier,
had evolved to the present-day horse,
about IA hands high, which repre-
sents the elimination of the race.
