No Question Animals
Enjoy PLAYING Games

That animals play games seems
borne out by most peoples observa-
lions. 1t is a common thing, for in
stance, to see cat and dog, brought
up together, playing hide and seek.
There is game which can often be
seen played by dogs on any open
space where they foregather Oh fine
mornings. Children play it, too. In
the south Of England they call it HE"
and in other parts Touch" and "Tig."
This is the game in which the one
touched has in turn to touch another,
and so on.
No one can watch lambs In a billy
field for any length of time without
concluding that they are playing Il
game. One takes it's stand on hillock
and the others charge for it and take
possession, They keep this up in
turns for hours. 1t is d sort of king
Of the Castle" game.
Most young animals are fond of
playing tug of war. A litter of pup
pies will play it for hours with a
length of rope or an old buster.
Offers play at shooting the chute
They have a sort Of tObOggan slide
on the bank of stream and play fol-
lOw-my-leader round and round, climb
ing the bank in rotation and sliding
back into the water.

One Chance All That
Time Accords to Man

How often you hear dad, or some
other grownup speak, with "a sort Of
half-sigh in his voice, of what he
would do If he were young again.
Time goes quickly when you are
young, and you are only too likely to
put off things you really should do.
Grownups look back to the golden
days of their youth as the happiest
time Of their lives, but there is also
something Of regret in their backward
glance. There are so many things
they would like to have done, but
didn't.
Unfortunately, time gives US just
one chance.
Let's plan things now, then, so as
to have as few regrets as possible
when we look back from a grownup
viewpoint. Let's get lots Of exercise,
so that the grOwnup person we're 60
ing to be not SO many years from now
may be fit and strong. Let's not get
into little habits of shiftlessness that
will handicap the future. Instead, let
us all work hard and play hard, so
that when the person we're going to
be looks backward, he'll find his youth
an encouragement, and not matter
for regret.-Exchange

Old Songs Seem Crude

The nearer we get to songs in the
making the cruder they are. Very
often they are not only homogeneous
but seem humorous, when they were
not intended to be so. Sometimes
they seem callous, treating of death
with what appears to be an utter dis
regard of fitting solemnity or tender
ness. In most cases this is quite un-
intended. The humble author intend
ing to express the proper sentiment
uses materials with which he is IA
miliar, often parts of several other
songs. Or he wishes to use certain
refrain and this refrain carries over
into his mind certain associations.
What he does he does in good faith,
and If his product is not up to our
standards it is not because Of intent
but because of the crudeness of his
attempt.-R. w. Gordon, in Adventure
Magazine.

Their Answer

In an intelligence test, which some
school teacher took recently, this sen.
tence was given:
THAT the moon is made of green
cheese is"
The blank was to be filled in with
the most fitting of list Of words.
Improbable" unlikely" absurd
When the papers were looked over
there was much hilarity to discover
that the teacher of astronomy had
filled in the blank with the word "im
probable" instead of absurd" which
was Of course the most appropriate
word.-Springfeld Union.

Disasters Caused BY Wind

The wind caused a serious railroad
accident in the eastern part of the
United States last year when it blew
sand over the track. Two years ago
the wind blew an Austrian train off
the track. March winds in British
India in 1924 blew over five cars Of
a train as it was crossing bridge and
two of them pitched into the water.
About so passengers were killed. One
morning a train from Derry to Bur
tonport, Ireland, was caught in gale
that uncoupled the car next to the
engine and rolled it down an en-
bankment.

Blindness No Handicap

In spite Of total blindness caused
by a gun accident, Henry Fawcett
rose to high positions in British public
life. He was born in Salisbury in
1888. At the age of thirty-two he en-.
tered the house of commons where his
ability and devotion to worthy causes
soon made him a prominent and in
fluential member. In 1880 he became
postmaster general in the government
of Mr. Gladstone, and during his term
of office he brought about many i'm.
provements in the postal service. He
died in 1884.

Lesson in Famous Painting

Briefly, the explanation Of the IA
nous painting called "The Huguenot"
is as follows: By order Of the Due
de Guise, issued before st. BartolO-
news day, "all good Catholics" were
enjoined to wear a white scarf as a
distinguishing badge. The young
woman pleads with her lover as she
strives to fasten the symbolic white
scarf. The lover will die in the morn
ing. AS one writer suggests, the pic.
ture is reminiscent of the famous line,
II could not love thee, dear, so much.

Training Teachers

The first genuine effort for the pro-
fessional training of teachers under
taken in the world was undoubtedly
by Jean Baptiste de la Sale at Helms
in 1851. At the beginning of the
Nineteenth century the development of
institutions to train teachers took on
a new life and the Prussian system of
normal schools was firmly established
Six normal schools had been organ
lied in that country. 1t was about
this time that the subject of prepar
ing teachers for public schools began
to receive attention in America.

Why the Choir Sang

The choir was peeved at the minis
ter and to get even with him all
agreed they would not join in singing
the hymns at the morning service. But
some loyal soul told the preacher
about the plot.
1--WE will now sing that grand old
hymn, We're Marchin to Zion,'" the
preacher announced, "omitting the
first verse;"
The second verse begins, 'Let those
refuse to sing who never knew our
God" The whole choir sang.

But 1t Stayed in Family

A story is current describing the
only sale of real estate John Jacob
Astor is thought to have made. He
had just watched the completion of
his Astor house, about 1880. Next
day, he brought his eldest son Will
liam down to see it.
Father, that's fine building"
said William. II wish it was mine"
49," smiled the father. well,
give me a dollar and you can have it,"
According to the story, the dollar
was produced, and the two repaired to
a lawyers to prepare the deed.

Too Much Politeness

Men are very generally spoiled by
being so civil and well disposed. You
can have no profitable conversation
with them-they are so conciliatory
determined to agree with you. They
exhibit such long suffering and kind
ness in a short interview. I would
meet with some provoking strange
ness; so that we may be guest and
host and refresh one another. It is
possible for a man wholly to disap
pear, and be merged in his Manners

"Yellow Plush Papers" were writ.
ten In 1887 by William Makepeace
Thackeray, the well-known English
novelist, and contemporary of Charles
Dickens. The papers form a playful
satire on fiunkeyism, whether it be the
flunkeyism of the wealthy or that of
the servants. The papers first ap-
peared in a magazine, but in 1S41 they
were published in book form under
the title of "Comic Tales and
Sketches" So E.-

THE Chinese generals, who gained new accession
Of strength through the revolutionary movement
and were therefore able to prolong their life for
certain time, have now thrown aside their masks
and are showing themselves for what they really
are. Chang Kai-shek was the first to desert the
masses and to show his brutality; he was followed
by Feng Yu Hsiang andN Tang Sen Dill All three
generals who, even in the revolutionary camps had
carried rivalry against each other, have joined
forces in order tc annhilate the Wuhan government
The reactionary generals Chang Tso-lin and Co.
have changed their colors somewhat and like
wise endeavoring to act along with the three first
named generals. Behind the generals there stand
the various reactionary political organizations as
Lien Du Chi (Association for the Study of the Con-
stitution). Jjau Tong Chi (Union of Traffic) etc.
Apart from the mutual rivalry there no longer
exists any difference between the activity of the old
reactionary generals and those who have deserted
the revolution Chang Tso-lin says 81 Ma
tonalist and stand for the abolition of the unequal
treatiess / acknowledge the teachings of Sun Vat
Sem" Feng Yu Hsiang, Tang Sen Dji and Chang
Kai-shek declare: Eve are against the Reds and
must annihilate the Communists" Never since the
setting up of the republic has there prevailed such
agreement between all the generals of China pre-
walls today.
Chang Tso-lin, at the end of June appointed him
self Generaissimo of the whole of the Chinese mill
tary forces In spite of this he claims to be striving
to collaborate with all the other generals in China.
Is it possible for the generals to combine and create
a united China? BY no MEANS For each one con-
siders before everything else his personal power
In addition to this the generals subordinate to the
chief generals, Chang Kai-shek, Feng Yu Hsiang,
Tang Sen Dji, Chang Tso-lin etc, split up into
various camps. Before very long every petty gen
eral will be setting up his government in China.
The uniting of China which had made great prog
ress since the autumn of last year under the flag
of the Kuomintang, is today remote than ever.
Apart from the common threatening of the Wuhan
government, very little to have resulted from
the collaboration against the North and South agreed
upon by Feng Yu Hsiang and Chang Kai-shek at
the Hsuschau Conference. On the contrary the Ber-
lin Lokalanzeger again reports breach between
these two. Feng Yu Hsiang attempted to win
over to his side of Chang Kai-shek's generals
on the Shantung front The model governor of Shan
ST. General Yen Shi Sen after the Hsuschau confer
ence, has not only not continued his march against
Picking, but, at the reqeust of Chang Tso-lin, has
even accepted the role of mediator between the latter
and Chang Ka-shek and Feng Yu Hsiang. He is
clever enough and does not, like the other generals
cherish plans of conquest beyond his powers. but
only wants to consolidate his present position still

FORMER DRY AGENT
SEIZED BY BRITISH
Complications Seen in Ar
rest After Capture of Ship
in Bahama Waters.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Likelihood of new international
complication arising out Of Americas
sea patrol against rum runners has
developed in the Bahama Islands as
result of the arrest of Charles II.
Nestle, former American prohibit
ton agent, for alleged unauthorized
participation in the seizure of rum
smuggler by the United States Coast
Guard in British waters.
Nestle, who is accused Of not hav.
ing been a member of the Coast Guard
crew at the time of the capture, was
charged by the rum vessels crew with
having appropriated a portion of the
liquor cargo and of having had SONS
OF 1t in his possession at the time
of his arrest. The rum runner is said
to be an American ship.
Place of Seizure Disputed.
The seizure. according to the British
authorities, took place within the
Smile territorial limit of British
waters. Coast Guard officials in
Florida, however. claimed it was out
of the limited waters and alleged
the complaint by the British was the
result of an attempt to abrogate the
recent treaty permitting Coast Guard
vessels to lie in British waters TO oh.
serve suspected rum boats.
A report of Nestle's arrest was for,
warded to the Washington Govern.
ment by the American consul at
Nassau. It said that the islands
governor had sent a magistrate 10
Bimini, the scene of the arrest, to
give him a hea4ing on the charges
which are being formulated by the
Attorney Genera.
Dismissed litter Conviction.
Nestle, who forfeited his bail be
fore being sentenced last year on two
American Federal charges, left his
home at Miami, Fla, and now is said
to live on one OF the Bahama KEYS,
He has aided Coast Guardsmen pa
trolling the region, it is claimed on
previous occasions. According TO the
Nassau consul. he admitted that he
was on the Coast Guard cutter al
the time of the rum crafts capture.
Nestle was dismissed as a pro.
hibition agent after he was convicted
in the Federal Court at Savannah,
Ga. on a charge of accepting a bribe
and of impersonating Government
officer. He left the country before
being sentenced after furnishing
$4,000 bail in each case.
