Not an Easy Matter
to Tell Deer's Are

1t is impossible, says the United
States biological survey, to tell the
age Of the deer tribe by the number
Of points on the antlers. There Is
popular notion that every time deer
sheds Its horns-which is once year
the horn grows out with an extra
point. In a general way this is true.
But the growth Of the antlers is de-
pendent on a number Of circumstances,
notably the general physical condition
Of the animal and, its virility. AS
rule the horns begin as single points
and Increase in size and number of
points up to whatever may be the
maximum, but the increase in size in
several years may not be strictly pro-
gressive. AS the animal becomes old
there is tendency for the horns to
be smaller with fewer points. A point
is an individual tine or snag Of the
antlers. A deer with one point on
each side is called twO-point deer;
one with two points on each side, a
fOur-pOint deer, and so on. The rein
deer differs from all other deer in that
the females Of this species also have
horns.

Decorators Not to Be
Bound bv Convention

The Cretan decorators did not scru.
pie to depart from a literal interpre-
tation OF nature If by SO doing they
could achieve more satisfying deco
rative effects.
II a monkey with blue head suited
their purpose better than a realistic
monkey they showed no hesitance in
altering 1t. This is the decorators
privilege, sort of artistic license
that has been taken by artists from
those ancient times to the present.
Do not think that curious drawings
and distortions are the product of anna
flourish hands. The Cretan decorators
did not alter the apparent forms be-
cause they could not draw them cor
rectly. 1t was done deliberately, to
suit their scheme Of decoration. Some
times naturalistic treatment Of flow
ers and ferns was used.
When they liked they could give
realistic Interpretation and at other
times conventiOnalize their subjects
When 1t suited their purpose they put
In colOrs that nature never uses in
such places. These Cretan decorators
were great craftsmen and artists.
Their designs are studied by artists
today.

Hall of Fame Project
Delaved bv Quarrel

The first bronze tablets in New
YOrk's hall of fame were unveiled as
recently as 1901, yet 100 years ago a
New Yorker began the movement for
just such cOmmemoration of the ma
tons great. He even offered to make
the busts himself and, indeed, did so
In number Of cases, only to have his
plan rejected, to lie in the discard IS
years. He was John I. BrOwere, who
in the early part of the Ninteenth
century was recognized as one of New
YOrk's best sculptOrs. There were
many who took to his idea of hall Of
fame from the start and urged its
adoption. 1t even reached congress,
with high hope Of an appropriation to
carry out the plan. However, one lit
tie incident ruined its prospects. Con-
gress decided to look up Browere.
William Dunlap, then considered an
authority on art, had written its his
tory. BrOwere had incurred the dis
pleasure Of Dunlap and was not men
toned in his book. SO congress
thought he couldn't amount to any
thing. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Appalachian Explorers

In 1716 SpotswOod organized the
first exploration party to venture into
the Appalachian mountains. This
party consisted Of SpOtswoOds per-
sonal friends, Indian guides and serv-
ants. There were in all about fifty
people. We find mentioned the. follow
ing gentlemen who accompanied Spots
wood: John Fontaine, Robert Beverly,
Colonel Robertson, Doctor Robinson,
Austin Smith, Captain ClOuder and
four men named, respectively, Taylor,
Todd, Mason and Brooke. Each gen.
tleman wore small golden horseshoe.
This emblem was to record the fact
that the horses on this expedition
were shod with iron shoes, which were
quite unnecessary in the sandy soil
Of the tide water countries, but which
were deemed essential for the stony
passages Of the mountains" The
motto adopted was, "Sic juvat trans
cendere monies" Only those were
eligible in the future who could prove
that they had drunk the health Of
George the First, then king Of Eng
land, on the top of Mount George.

Birds Sound Warning

Despite the fact that the blue ~
Is persistent joker and a noisy, bois-
ferrous and happy-go-lucky chap, he is
really remarkable bird.
The blue jay and the crow have
distinctive language of their own
and one which is understood by many
other species of wild life. Ducks as
we'll as deer, foxes, rabbits. squirrels,
woodchucks and many others under
stand crow and jay talk.
Close observations have proved that
many species Of wild life will heed
the alarm call of both the jay and
crow and will Immediately upon hear
ing either Of these birds seek the shell
ter Of their dens or some thick patch
Of briar.

WHAT DO 'WE" PROFIT BY
LEGION MEMBERSHIP?

The above WE is used in a strict
ly racial sense. Many tangible bene-
fits have come to us, in common with
all veterans of the World War, which
would not have been without the
Legion, or some similar virile, ener-
getic organization devoted to the sole
interests of the ex-service man.
These advantages were, and are, ours
in spite of the fact that we constant
ly refuse to participate actively in
Legion affairs. You will find that
every group in the Legion have GER
tain unfavorable conditions which
they are trying to combat; special
problems that they are striving to
overcome. Our group in particular is
faced with unfavorable conditions
and special problems. Why not pool
our strength and go against these
things as unit? There are some
things which we must not expect
others to secure for us when due or
to ward off when detrimental; issues
which you and 1 must look after,
and we certainly cannot do it from
the outside. There are many such.
For instance: Today, NOW, a move
ment is being fostered under guise
of Legion authority, one of the most
pronounced examples of racial dis
ordinations that has come to our at
tention in recent times. Owing to
the alertness of Minnesota Negro Lee
gionnaires the burning light of pub
licity is being turned on this effort,
and publicity at this stage of the
game is the last thing desired by it's
proposers. 1t is hoped that our op-
position is timely and that the mat
ter will be nipped in the bud.
Here is an example of profit; it
is one of the many times when Lee
gion membership and activity placed
us in position to learn what was be-
ing planned and gave to us oppor-
tune chance of opposition. AS the
matter is yet unsettled, we consider
it unwise to go into details, however,
win, lose or draw, the readers of
THE ECHO will get the final results.
But if you former service men are
at all interested in this latest at
tempt to slip you hot one, you may
hear the full story by attending the
next meeting of Leslie Lawrence
Post. All are invited, whether or
not Legionnaires. Those who are
fronting the fray can carry on so
very much better if made aware of
your support, for that means encour-
agement
Five additional members during
the past few days; and there are yet
quite number still on the mourners
bench. (Sure we make no mistake
when we say they are STILL for they
certainly are not live.) The doors
are open; who will be the next to
come thru

Little of Wild Life
Is British in Origin

Very few of the animals best known
in our countryside are British in
origin. Indeed, with the possible ex-
ception of the fox, the badger, the
otter, the hare. and the red deer,
there are today few, if any, survivors
Of animals native to this country. -
The rabbit, for example, was not
known here in early Christian days.
1t is believed to have originated in
Spain; very old coins have been
found in that country imprinted with
the figure of rabbit. Rats are quite
foreign to these shores, though they
are now too firmly established here.
The English black rat came from the
Continent eight centuries ago.
Both the fallow and roe deer came
to us from abroad, the first from Nor
way, the second from Asia. The
pheasant found its way here in Roman
times. The partridge, on the other
hand, is perhaps the most British of
all our game biHds-ksndOn Tit-Bits.

"Petrifed Li9hfnin1''

The weather bureau says that pre-
sumably petrified lightning is what is
technically known as a "fulgurite "
1t is more or less irregular CLASSY
tube formed by the passage Of light
ming through sand generally or rock,
which is fused along the path of dis
charge. The sand along the central
portion Of the path appears to be
vOlatilized and driven out, hence the
hollow tube, with the continuous
CLASSY walls and rough, irregular out
err surface.

The "standees' rail, running mid

a motley and democratic crew Of music
lovers from many foreign lands, and

is silence during the acts. One

Indians Sign Language

The gesture, or sign language, is of
more importance than any one Indian
tongue, there being seventy-six differ
ent Indian vocal languages and but
one universal sign language. The In
dians will readily teach one their
spoken language, but seem combined
against teaching the sign language. A
man who lived with the Sioux Indians
In the Dakota territory as boy took
ten years to get 1t, though there are
only 761 words in the language.-From

First Subway Lines

The first city in the world to feel
the need Of subways was London,
where, in 1853, there was begun the
construction of two-track under
ground road from Edgeware to Kings
Cross. No mention is made as to the
inventor. There were many disad-
vantages to the first type Of subway,
and it was not until 1885 that any
further attempt was made to construct
a subway line. In that year the late
J. H. Greathead, an eminent English
engineer, designed a railroad. circular
in section, lined with cast iron. 1t
was first intended to operate with a
cable, but before completed it was
found it could be successfully op-
Grated with electricity.

Wild Dogs Stole Ewes

When 100 ewes recently disap-
peared from ranch near Narwon,
New South Wales, they were tracked
into rough country by native tracker.
When found the ewes were ,huddled
together at the base Of cliff, strick-
en- with terror. A score were dead and
the tracker said that the tracks told
the story Of their experience. -Four
dingoes, or Australian wild dogs, had
cut out the ewes from large flock
of sheep, driven them into hiding and
there massacred 20 Of the victims,
though one eve would have been
more than enough to feed their cap
tors.

Apple Picking

The Rural New Yorker says that
"the quantity of apples picked in day
by one man will depend largely on the
character Of the tree, whether high or
low headed; how heavily the tree may
be loaded; the kind of apples, small or
large; how well the job is done. We
have heard Of men picking fifty bar
rels, but both fruit and trees are sure
to be damaged by such slam-bang
work. One Of the best commercial
growers we know insists that an
average Of ten or twelve barrels per
day per man is enough. 1t is not a
matter Of clawing off the apples as
fast as possible, but working so that
there will be minimum of bruised
fruit and broken twigs and limbs"

Lifting machines with pulleys, ropes
and winding drums, are as old as
Archimedes, 236 B. G. They were
used in the coliseum in Rome; in the
Middle ages for military purposes;
and the germ Of the modern elevator
is in the drawings of the universal
inventor, Leonardo da Vinci, and In
Agricola. But the earliest known
primitive passenger elevator is that
in the convent of st. Catherine, on
Mount Sinai. It was worked by
capstan, and carried both people and
stores to the upper floors. to be safe
from the desert robbers.

FALL CONGRESS
TO AID D. c.

District affairs in Congress-in.
Guiding the Gibson subcommittee
inquiry in the House and traction
merger legislation in the Senate
will have an early start if Presi-
dent Coolidge calls an extra session
for October.
1t is the plan of Senator Capper,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, to enact merger legisla.
ton for the city during the coming
session, provided the new Public
Utilities Commission makes a re-
port to Congress as the basis of
action. Assurances have. been given
that such report will be ready
for the consideration of Congress.
The Gibson subcommittee will
have before it report on the
school system and other municipal
activities of the Ditrict, and will
continue the hearing initiated last
spring following the Fenning in
vestigation. The hearings probably
will be reopened during the pro-
posed special session and continue
through the regular session.
The prospects of favorable action
on District legislation are greatly
increased by the special session
plan, it was said today, inasmuch
as two additional months will be
afforded Congress for their enact
ment. The most important local
bill probably will be that relating
to a traction consolidation, with the
civic center plan for the Ditrict
government, evolved in connection
with the public buildings problem
and embracing the removal of all
