The TraprOCk Museum o6 Unnatural History
(By Dr. Walter F. Traprock)

My interest in horses has led me | to install in my Museum a collec- tion which traces the development of this noble quadruped from the time he first evolved from the vege- table kingdom, The original "proto- plasmus equinus' still exists in forms of vegetable. insect and tree life such as the horse-radish, the horse-fy and the horse chestnut. As a matter of fact, the horse-chestnut and the chestnut horse still remain cousins, after all these years.
 The first animal horses were small, flve-toed. rabbit like crea- lures. Neolithic ladies had pet lap horses which they used to dress as ladies of today do their lap-dogs. The habit of shocing them develop ed the hoof.
 Gradually the size Of horses in creased to that of the pony. One of our exhibits is a skeleton of the pony which the great English scholar, Bacon, used at college, Ponies have always been popular with the college men.
 Machinery has almost done away with the horse. The animal itself is becoming mechanical President Coolidge uses one of this new breed. We have an exact duplicate of his mechanical Dobbin and it is inter- esting to note that it's main struc- ture, backbone, legs, etcetera, are that of the early American saw horse, showing that in spite of the inroads of machinery the old pro toplasmus equinus' is still at work.
 A fine collection of harness will be found in the bride-suite, ad- joining the horse show,

\ Wedding TNnCriCnce

Some time ago, when on our we'd ding trip, my wife and l went to Delaware Water Gap for a short stay.
 It was perhaps the third or fourth day after our arrival there (we had gone there immediately upon the completion of the ceremony when I awoke one morning and found my little bride sitting dejectedly at the window.
 Instantly I was all soicitude, leaped from the bed, and was by her side in a moment.
 Looking into her face, I said: "Dearie, why do you look so sad? Have you a headache, or are you in?"
 Her delicate face clouded over. and her eyes wellsd tears. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed: T don't know what's the trouble, but I feel so blue. You see --yeH see have nsFaF hsez agaE

A PREACHER INSULTS THE COLLEGE MAN

The Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton pastor of the Calvary Baptist churct In New York City, IS commonly re- garded as one of the foremost fundamentalist pastors in the coun- try. He has taken up the Bryan war cry of resentment against hav- ing his tax money used to teach the theory of evolution in the schools and predicts the Tennessee conflict will spread 10 other states; indeed, he will do all he can 10 assist in the spread.
 What he thinks of college gradu- ates especially those weU- grounded in evolutionary theories, was given in sermon he preached Sunday, when he described
 the typical college man as "a
 sap-headed, cisar"tte-smoling.

THE CHINESE PROBLEM

The Chinese situation in a nut shell is this: The American govern ment, regarding the time ripe for an international conference on Chinese matters, asked the powers which signed the Chinese treaties at the Washington Arms Conference to agree to such a conference. The terms of the Chinese treaties stipu- lated that within three months after the last of the nine powers participating Ii lad ratified them, such a conference was to be called.
 France, the last signatory to ratify | the Nine Power Treaties - as the Chinese treaties were called did so two weeks ago, The American government immediately sent out a call for an agreement upon the con- ference pledged in the treaties.
 The nations participating in the Nine Powers Treaties are the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Holland, Belgium. Portugal and China.
 The American suggestion for the conference stipulated in the treaties was received in Europe with bad grace, The view of such diploma tsts as have vcnturcd an opinion is that a conference just now would be "untimely.'
 But the American government pressed the suggestion still further addressing a note in duplicate to all inc powers who signed and ratl- fred the treaties, the note contain ing the suggestion that the negolia- tions include giving China an in- creased share uf her own customs revenues, which at present are con trolvd by foreign nations. The note also suggested d revamping Of eA- traterritorial rights,
 England, which has big financial stalk, in China, then sent a round robin to the powers, taking the stand that China must give guaran- ices as to what she will do with the increased customs money before she is given the right 10 collect any and also insisting that the extra territorial rights must not be dls- cussed q the conference.
 France then announced China must put her house in order first Britain announced another invesn- gat,on of the Shanghai outrages; an fny,sticauon by the foreign diplo- matte corps at rckin had placed mos, of inc blame upon the British -n.c Brush investigation" natur- aI1v would blame the Chinese
