Executive of Wyoming, Hon.

good fight lost. all WED with one
another yesterday afternoon at the
Women's City Club In paying tribute
to the first woman governor who has
attended Washington inaugural-
her excellency, Gov. Nellie Tayloe
Ross of Wyoming. Somewhat be!ated
by the many engagements which be-
set a governing lady, Mrs. Ross en-
tered the club during a more than
ordinarily informal hour-just after
tea. The small groups which were
scattered about awaiting her arrival
gathered quickly about her. AS they
came toward her to shake hands.
Judge Mary O'Toole, who has an in
innate acquaintance with the affairs
of the greatest number of club
members, passed them on to Gov.
Ross
Hailed as Woman Pioneer.
The governors late arrival may
have accounted for the decided lack
of formal greeting which she re-
ceived. And again it may have been
accounted for by the mere fact that
she is a woman pioneer OF unusual
many pioneers at work in Govern
ment departments as commissioners,
judges and assistant attorneys gen.
eral- The many words OF congratu-
lation and extensions of kind wishes
which she received were responded to
with a natural graciousness which
those farther back in the line, each
preparing his or her own little
speech, were quick to see.
Previous to the arrival of the lead
ing lady from Wyoming, Mrs. Charles
Hayward Cecil introduced to the as
semblage R. A. Risley. solicitor of the
Department of Labor. who spoke of
some of the problems which have con-
fronted immigration authorities in
the past quarter century and of the
manner in which they have been to
some extent solved. He stressed the
need for Americanization among those
foreigners who did reach America
under the restrictions of the immigra-
ton ratio laws. AS a factor in the
formulation of better feeling between
new arrivals and old Inhabitants, he
advocated evidences of reciprocal ad-
miration for the heroes and scientists
of the Old World who have benefited
America as well as their own lands.

What Your Eyes Tell

We are told that the eyes of the
intellectual man are gray, and it is a
fact that most men of genius have
gray eyes. Brown eyes are said to
express temperament rather than in
tellect.
Although brown eyes flash with an
ger, light up with Joy, and change
swiftly with jealousy, blue and gray
eyes can express greater sadness.
Green and black eyes are supposed
to be the most wicked. Becky Sharp's
green eyes played an important part
In her various conquests.
The "vamp' In modern fiction usual
ly possesses flashing eyes of either
green or black. Actually, there are
mo black eyes; dark brown or dark
gray eyes have the appearance of be-
ing black in certain lights.

Though some Indians were more
proficient at 1t than others, and the
methods Of some tribes were more ad-
vanced than those Of others, there
was very little secret about the max
ing of warlike implements, and all the
Indians knew how. Flints and similar
stones were used not so much because
of their hardness as for the reason
they coulu be faxed Off and fashioned
into desired shapes as arrow, lance,
spear or harpoon heads, knives, saws
or scrapers. The flint was to be found
In open fields, bowlder beds and else
where, and the tribes camped occa-
sionally near the larger supplies to
break of with rocks or hammers the
quantities and sizes Of flint chips
needed. These were carried home, to
be faxed off and worked into shape
with the aid of sharp pointed nipple
ments of bone. The waste and refuse
of the process, as well as the tools
employed In II, have often been found
on the sites of early Indian dwellings.

He turned once as he left the dining
room. The woman outside was still
waiting at the door for Mrs. Benham to
waddle to the latch, the waterfall of
light still covering her. still looking In,
apparently at Peter, and with a smile
and warmth thrown toward him like a

Where the Partnership Dis

One of the oldest stories In the known
world-and in my tumble judgment
one of the best ones as well-deals
with three actors-an aged negro, an
itinerant conjurer and a Underground
swapping turtle.
The most popular version runs In
this wise: 1t Is hot day in a Missis-
sippi countryside. The conjurer, who
Is making his way across country afoot.
Is sitting alongside the dusty road, rest
Ing. There passes him an ancient
negro returning from a fishing expedi-
ton. The undertaking has yielded no
fish but the darkey is not going homo
empty-handed He has captured a
huge swapping turtle. He is holding 1t
fast by it's tail, which is stretched
faulty over his right shoulder so that
the fiat undershell of the captive rests
against his back. He has delectable
visions dancing in his mind of turtle
soup, turtle steaks and turtle stew. He
bids the recumbent stranger a polite
good-morning and trudges on. He has
gone perhaps twenty feet further when
an impish inspiration leaps full-grown
into the magician's brain. In addition
to his other gifts he is by way of being
a fair ventriloquist.
He throws his voice into the turtles
mouth and speaking in a muddy, gut
tural tone such as would be suitable
to turtle if turtle ever INDUCED in
conversation, he says sharply:
Look here, niger, where are you
taking me?".
The old man freezes in his tracks.
He rolls his eyes rearward There is
the look Of vast, growing, startled
bewilderment on his face
"W-h-whO-who dat speakin' to met"
he asks falteringly.
Its me speakin' to you," the turtle
seemingly says, here on your back. /

Exceptions to Theory

The recapitulation theory is the
theory that parallel exists between
the embryonic development Of an in
dividual and the historical evolution
of its race. This parallel is explained
by the theory of evolution, according
to which, in the words Of Sedgwick,
"the development history of the indi-
vidual appears to be short and SIM
plified repetition, or, In a certain
sense, reorganization Of the course
Of development Of the species" The
theory is correct to limited extent In
the case of many animals. but there
are many deviations due to the adap-
tation to environment, abbreviation Of
the course Of development and other
Influences.

Ancient Juniper Tree

What is believed to be the oldest
iuniper tree in the world is now being
protected by the forest service, United

cording to word received from the
Cache National forest in northern
Utah. A careful examination of the
tree by scientists from the Utah Ag-
ricuItural college and by Forest SUI
pervisor Carl B. Arentson shows the
age Of the tree to be not less than
5000 years, thus placing this tree on
a par with some of the big redwood
trees in California which have so
often been spoken of as the "oldest

never so whimsical. Each time he
leaned forward toward the white-haired
widow who, with her middle-Victorian
figure, weighed at least two hundred
pounds, Muriel stared at her mother
with look which might have been
the expression of jealousy.
Peter, as be chatted with Mrs. Ben
ham, faced the long French windows

ferns and flowery plants in pots, CIV
Ing forth to the room at all meals that
smell of warm dark earth which fills
greenhouses; but just outside the re-
Election of his own dinner coat on the
long panes of the doors, there was the
blue stone driveway of the house and
the path to the side door. Upon this
path Peter thought he had seen a flash
of white. 1t might have been a reflec-
ton of his own white linen; he had
only seen this flick of movement out of
the corner of his eye as he put down
his gilt coffee cup.
'What did you seer asked Muriel
suddenly.
Il? Why, thought / saw a white
spot in the dark out there-like per-
sons face"
Muriel stiffened. 81 don't know who
1t could be-" she said. Lucy, turn on
the light outside the North door,"
Peter smiled, but only because he
had thought of how red English maids
could be-just as red as Wallets were
white.
The smile disappeared the moment
the electric lamp above the outer door
just behind the French windows threw
down its light like an overturned
bucket of yellow liquid. A woman was
standing there, and Peter believed that
as she had stood in the dark, unseen,
she had been looking straight into his
face. She wore no hat and her hair
piled up In immense snake-like coils
was the color of certain frost-turned
leaves Of autumn which are neither
red nor gold, but both colors at once.
Her Irish mother!" he almost said
aloud. He knew by her hair and her
great dark eyes in which, even from a
distance, there appeared the expec-
fancy or fear described by young Ben
ham. The British officer had not over
drawn her beauty. There was a still
grandeur about 1t, permanence, a
thing making it awful as we'll as aHur-
ing; it was like the beauty of Grecian
sculpture dug from the dust and trans
formed by miracle into living warmth
glowing through a skin which, COM
pared to Muriel's fine cold white, was
as heavy cream Is to SKINNED milk.
She stood in the posture which Peter
learned later TO know was Characters
tic-a posture Of one who waits with
resignation. For what? Heaven knows.
Perhaps for reincarnation into life

small affairs.
That she wore white draped gown

from her half-bare shoulders DeWolfe
did not notice. She was one who can
not be described in detail, and her
clothes made no impress, though their
Illuminated colors and contrast in any
other case might have left vivid pic
