AMERICA THE OLD WORLD.

TT has been observed that, although
u this continent is the New World
in relation to it's discovery by man,
it is an old world much older than
Europe, in relation to the types of
its animals and plants. For example.
the big trees of California are of
older stock than any trees now grow
ing Europe. The question has been
raised whether some of the races of
Siberia and Eastern Asia have not
sprung from American aborigines,
rather than our Indians have come
from that quarter.
In the case of such a plant as the
common heather of England and
Scotland, found growing wild in Nova
Scotia, it is matter of curious in
terest to determine whether it is ma
tive to the soil or has been introduced
from Europe. Lawson decided that
the plant had it's home here. There
was a time, it is thought. when the
plant was abundant in our northern
lands and its present Aare occurrence

In the public prints the W. A.
Clark collection has been roughly
valued at $3,000,000. While it would
be very difficult to place any definite
monetary value upon so varied and so
large a collection, the trustees have
been advised by competent judges
that it is worth fully $5.000,000, and
one expert has stated that the rugs
and tapestries alone would bring over
$3,000.0 900 in the open market today.
1t should be stated here that, con
trary to the general impression which
seems to prevail on the part of the
public. the entire Clark collection was
not bequeathed to this gallery. Sena-
tor Clark, under the terms of his will
and in his far-sighted wisdom, gave
the trustees the most liberal oppor-
tunity to select works of art from his
collection for the gallery. Certain of

1t was Buttons idea that all the
forms of animal and plant life COM
mon to the two continents were in
troduced here after the discovery by
Europeans. The idea was naturally
suggested by the rapidity with which
this continent was peopled and
stocked with all domestic animals and
cultivated plants. The teaching from
Buttons day until 80 or 80 years ago
has been to the same effect. Since
then. however, the evidence has been
found to prove this view to be not
only false. but directly the reverse
OF what had been the real order of
succession.

MILK Use INCREASE

w. C. T. U. Speaker Says
Consumption of Product Is
27 Per Cent Higher.

BY the Associated PFkss.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 30.
Milk drinking has increased u per
cent and Ice cream consumption also
had gained since prohibition went into
effect. said Miss Epha A. Marshall,
Chicago, in an address today before
the National Convention OF the Wom'
ems christian Temperance Union.
There has been a decided decrease
in the number Of persons discharged
from positions because OF drunkenness.
according to Miss Marshall. who is di-
rector of the Wofnen's Christian Tenn
perance Union department OF eco
fofnics.
One consequence of prohibition, Miss
Marshall declared, Is the increased
number of workers building or buy
ing homes. Prohibition has had a big
nart in the steady swell In the monthly
average of contracts awarded IN the
United States as given out by the
Department Of Commerce, from 2l,'
100000 square feet In 1915 TO over
IS 100000 in 1928.
"The most significant OF our present.
day prosperity Is the increased pur.
chasing power fer the comforts ana
luxuries among the great masses OF
the people, of which such phenomenal
figures as the ownership of 20,000,0 900
passenger cars, as the assets In build
ing and loan associations and similar
indexes are but samples. That comes
from the increased purchasing power
available by the abolition of the sa'
loon. This 10 an almost inescapaole
conclusion"

elected president of the National

FORTUNE TELLERS
PROSPER IN SPAIN
Gypsies Reap Harvest From Vic
tins in High and Low
Glasses.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
VALENCIA, Spain.-Witches and
fortune tellers ply profitable trade
in Madrid and other big cities of
Spain.
The great majority of them are
gypsieS or mock gypsieS with swarthy
skins. They cOnfine their operations
to accosting we'll dressed women on
the streets and promising them for
tune in their love affairs in return for
a piece of silver.
Others frequent the better portions
of the city and insinuate themselves
into the graces of the maidservants.
Most of these are illiterate peasant
girls. The gypsies give them love
potions to strengthen the affections
of recalcitrant beaux. They tell the
maids with certainty that great mobiles
will fall in love and marry them, en-
downing them with riches.
There is strong suspicion that the
blame for various robberies may be
laid to some of these itinerant pur-
veyors of good fortune. for they learn
from the servants the customs of the
householders.
A higher class of fortune teller
exists also. These calling themselves
astrologers and oculists. They have
offices which are frequently changed
owing to police action. There they
are surrounded by the usual parapher
MALTA of terrestrial globes, cauldrons
and crystals with which they convince
even women of the higher class that
they can foretell the future.

Sharks Drowned
In Struggles to
Escape From Line
of the Associated Press.

OF the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, Australia. - Austria
lians say the easiest method of dis
posing of man-eating sharks is to
drown them. The idea is an old
one, conceived by sailors.
An enormous hook, baited with a
large piece of horsefiesh or beef, Is
used as bait in the shark drowning
trick. BY meals of a cable or chain,
this hook is attached to an an
chored buoy.
The line is then set in the shark
infested waters which abound in
various coast districts, and when
the victim comes along it swallows
the bait, hook and all. Then the
shark will submerge the buoy for
time, the float tugging all the
while, endeavoring to come to the
top, and the shark tugging at the
other end, trying for dear life to re-
lease himself.
In time the shark is worn out,
and meets his fate by drowning
down in the ocean depths in which
he was so perfectly at home before
he took the hook.
