Labor That Calls for
Much Physical Effort

A well-known writer once said that
oyster dredging on the American
coast was the hardest work In the
world. The two dredges were wound
In by hand, and that everlasting wind
ing, balanced on swaying deck, was
wicked work. The moment one
dredge was aboard the oysters had to
be "culled," and the whole eight men
Of the crew were working against time
from dawn till dark
The dock laborer's job is another
which entails tremendous physical eff
fort. A steamers time Is money, and
when cargo Is being discharged not
one moment must be wasted by any
Of those engaged.
The amount of work that can be
done In one day Is almost Incredible.
An inquest on a dock labOrer who
died suddenly on wharf was held
some time ago at which 1t was stated
that on the day Of his death he had
unloaded no fewer than $4,000 wood
paving blocks.

The belief that cats and owls can
see In the dark Is u popular fallacy.
The iris of cats eye is capable of
great variation, so as to admit more
or less light, thus enabling the cat to
see much better In the dusk than can
humans, but in absolute darkness all
animals are as helpless as any human
being. The feature which adapts GER
tain eyes for use with only poor
light il the constitution Of the retlna
which Is composed Of two sets OF struc-
lures, the so-called rods and cones
The rods are apparently affected by
radiation slightly before the cones,
and hence some creatures, Including
owls, whose eyes possess large pro-
portion Of cones, are better suited for
seeing In faint light.

TUelfth Night Customs
Kent Up in England

Many strange and curious rites and
customs have long been connected
with the observance OF Twelfth night
Twelfth night is the evening before
Epiphany, the 9th OF January, also
called Twelfthtide and Old Christmas
day.
In England the principal rite OF the
evening IL the cutting OF the "benn
cake"--a cake In which bean Is
cooked, the finder Of which Is made
the king Of the night and the fol
lowing day.
II was In commemoration OF this
custom that Robert Baddely, an Eng.
fish comedian Of the Eighteenth cen
fury, who was long favorite at the
Drury Lane theater, made one OF the
strangest requests ON record.
Baddely died In 1704, and in his
will he bequeathed his cottage TO a
5 theatrical fund, requesting that sum
Of three pounds be annually expended
on cake, to be cut on Twelfth night,
In the Green room OF the Drury Lane
theater, and divided among the actors
and actresses.

Lapps' Wrath Songs

After spending years among the
Lapps Karl Tlren Of Stockholm brought
back TOO photograph records Of their
peculiar music. The strangest Of all
are the wrath songs" which are used
in the place Of profanity, Of which the
people are destitute. Some Of the
Lapp songs, Mr.. Tiren said, resembled
excerpts from Wagner. One about a
fight between bear and reindeer
was said to be so poignant that women
have been known to faint during Its
singing The Lapps regard their songs
as very serious and very personal, and
II took years for Tlren TO win their con.
fldence sufficiently to record them.

! BY HARRY, b. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Mar. 19.-After more
, than a year, of rigid retirement, fol.
lowing the death. Of President Will.
son, Mrs. Edith Boiling Wilson, his
widow yielded her seclusion for the
first time to participate publicly al
the annual meeting of the Women's
National Democratic Club here, on
March Z.
Mrs. Wilson received members of
the club at her home, following a
pilgrimage by them to the tomb of
the late president jim Bethlehem
chapel, and later: presided over a
table at dinner given sby the
Democratic women.
That Mrs. Wilson chose the occa-
sion Of. the clubs annual meeting
to resume active public contacts
again is said to be due to the fact
that, shortly before his death, the
former president urged her to do
whatever she could to assist this
organization, which he regarded as
offering immense possibilities for
service to the party. !.
!. That women are less politically
minded than men was evidenced dur
ing tn stay in Washington, follow.
ing thesinauguration OF Mrs. Nellie
Taylor-Ross, governor of Wyoming.
!. Mrs. Ross-or, Governor" Ross
was hailed, by the women of
Washington, irrespective Of party.
Republicans and Democrats alike
forgot that in her. election a Demo-
crat had won the governorship of a
great state.

Mrs. Wilson Showing Interest in Politics.

The thing that mattered, and the
only thing that mattered to them, it
seemed, was that woman had won
governorship. For in the presen mt
stage of their political evolution,
women are women first and political
| partisans second.
Whether Frank B. Kellogg, as sec
rotary of state, will swing "big
stick" in international affairs re-
mains to be demonstrated. But one
thing is conceded as certain:
He will swing the "wickedest club"
to be found anywhere in the capitals
diplomatic golfing corps.
Kellogg will take precedence at
the head of Washington golfists this
summer not merely because he is
ranking head of the cabinet, but be-
cause, in addition, he is actually an
expert ut the game.
His golfing had no little to do, it
is said, with his popularity as
American ambassador in London.
Both Colonel George Harvey
and John w. Davis, who had set
high marks as golfers while repre-
senting the U. S. in the land where
golf had its birth, had won favor
because of their skill with the mash
lie and midiron. But either Davis
nor. Harvey could hold a candle to
Kellogg in the "ancient and honor
able" pastime.
Kellogg was golf champion of the
Senate, during his service in that
house, and the Senate has \many
members who are better golfers than
they are legislators. r
