Seton Gives Three
Skunks and Pair of
PeacOcks to Zoo

Three skunks we're added to the
population of the Zoo today.
These animals, rare in geological
collections intended for public ex-
hibition. but by no means rare on
the public highways, were the gift
of Ernest Thompson Seton, the
distinguished naturalist, who has
spent a great deal of time at the
Zoo during the past year studying
the habits of American animals.
The skunk. it was said at the
Zoo, is one of the most interesting,
intelligent and handsome Of North
American mammals, whose one UNI
fortunate trait. while it has con.
tributed greatly to the preserva-
ton of the species, has been re-
sponsible for its low reputation.
Mr.. Seton also added pair of
snow.white peacocks to the coll
lection. They will be released with
the other peacocks and given The
run of the park. There is already
one pair of white peacocks in the
collection.

MELTING MILITARY
STATUES IS URGED
Race Amity Convention
Hears Pleas for Peace
by Various Speakers.

Melting down of the bronze statues
of military heroes adjoining the parks
and streets OF American cities, and
replacement by statues of peace
makers, was urged by DR.. Samuel {.
Mitchell of the University of Rich
mond, speaking before the Conven-
ton of Amitv Between the Colored
and White Races, meeting last night
in the Mt. Pleasant congregational
Church. 1410 Columbia road:
DR.. Mitchell said that the influence
and names of such men as Booker T..

the pulpits of the country.
I'VE should emphasize the unity or

.eThere is no greater menace TO the
nernetuity of a nation than internal
dissensions upon which foes may con-
centrate their attacks" he said. The
white and colored people have lived
aide by side for three centuries, yet
each would gain much by a better
acquaintance with the other, as they
are one in ideals, aims and hopes.
The badge of true distinction is serv-
ice to humanity. The dissemination
of divine ideals and the application
of the golden rule to race relations
would bring a power of unity and
accord into American life That would
be proof against all antagonistic
forces"

MOTHERS DAY

TN ONE Of the great churches In
L Paris there is an altar and over
the altar is the figure OF woman
with babe in her arms standing on
the world, and under her feet lies u
crushed and bleeding serpent. The
power which brushes evil and becomes
the hope OF the world lies in conse-
Grated motherhood. In the formative
period of Frances history, when the
future seemed uncertain and insecure,
Napoleon cried: "What France needs
is mothers" Civilization will always
owe an enormous debt to that man or
woman in whose life's career is ex-
pressed mothers dreams and ideals.
AS we wrestle with the responsible
tasks of our life's work, 1t is moth
er's soul which rises to meet US and
with whom we keep companf0hship.
1t Is her soul we would interpret. The
most wonderful thing in the world is
a mother sending forth her child into
the world with high ideals burning
like beacon lights In his heart. The
destinies of civilization rest very
largely in the hands of motherhood.
( On Mothers Day our minds espe-
cially return to the old home. We are
reminded Of the secret of the home
life. We live over again the days of
our childhood. In memory of the
mother who made that home what it
was we wear today either the red or
white carnation. We should not be
ashamed to do it. We should do 1t
with the spirit of pride. Whistler was
not ashamed of his mother. He paint
ed her in a picture everybody admires.
Kipling was not ashamed of his moth
er. He wrote In her memory that
beautiful poem, 80, Mother of Mine !"
1t is said that upon the occasion of
his inaugural exercises, President Nc
Kinley, in the presence of large
number of people, went over to where
his mother was sitting and kissed her.
Our opportunities are made posi-
BILE because some mother suffered, and
prayed. She toiled many times when
we slept. Her hands were soiled with
work when ours were soft. She sac.
rificed that we might live. There are
different kinds of love In the world
but there is nothing that can con-.
pare with or take the place of tn,
sacrifcial love of mother.

You may beg me to be good but I

you can't help doing that 1t isn't

''No. we'd be ashamed to do so out
of kindness. It's only because we
can't help ourselves.
"But here you are, trying to make
us give kindness about when that is
not what we do.
You're different from some crea-
lures, Peter Gnome. Some creatures
who're rich or we'll are so satisfied
with what they have themselves that
they don't care about others.
"But you're always wishing to scat

"We, Of our family, can't under

mean ways and they've grown on us
and we're not In the least sorry, so
there Is no hope of changing us
"We love 1t when children rub US
hard and scratch our mean selves, for
then we can make them feel even
worse.
ooh, we like to be so mean and so
horrid and so hateful. It's such fun
to u.s."
"Dear me-" said Peter Gnome, at is
sad to think that there must be such
a thing In the world as you. Chicken
Pox, but one thing more"
NO." said Chicken Pox. you've
kept me talking enough. I must be
off,"
Don't go, Chicken Pox. have
something else to ask you"
But Chicken Pox had gone. Peter
Gnome, though, was glad that he had
kept Chicken Pox this long, for he
was kept away from doing his bad
deeds in this way, and that vas the
best Peter Gnome could do with him
to delay him every time he got the
chance so that Chicken Pox could do
less than was planned.
AS for changing Chicken Pox and
the family waysl Alas, Chicken Pox
and the family were without hearts.
and what in the world can eveA a
dear little gnome do with heartless

WHEN l WAS
TWENTY.ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE

At 21-LIoyd George found no thrill
In being admitted to the bar.
&C a T THE age Of twenty-one went
a to Chancery Lane (for admins
sion as solicitor) and got admitted
In regular humdrum fashion. The
ceremony disappointed me. The mas
ter of the rolls, so far from having
anything to do with It, was actually
listening to Q. G. Queens CounseD
at the time and some fellow of clerk
swore US to lawyerly demeanor In
our profession at the back of the
court and off we shambled to the Of
fee to sign the rolls.-David Lloyd
George"
TODAY-Lloyd George is Great
Britain's most famous statesman,
somewhat out Of the limelight at the
moment. but still retaining all the
glamor that was his when he was the
war premier.
The leader In English politics first
gained the attention of the public
when he was twenty-five. He was a
little Welsh village of Snowden some
thing happened that aroused bis SYM
pathy. An old Noncomformist quarry
man had died. He had asked, as his
last wish, that he be buried next to
the grave Of his daughter, who was
inferred in a Church Of England Gene
terry. The minister of the latter insti-
tuition, when he heard of this, refused
permission for the Noncomformist
rites to be performed in the cemetery
proper, where the daughter lay, say
ing that the body of the father, II he
was to be buried In Church of England
ground, must go to the part restricted
for suicides and unknowns.
The Noncomformists of Snowden
were incensed at this clerical injus-
tice and appealed to Lloyd George for
help. He advised that they could
break down the cemetery gates, If that
were necessary, to bury the dead man
near his daughter. This was done,
and the burial made as the old man
had wished. The result was a law
suit again Tue NhidSCio ny ShO
Church of England authorities.
The case was tried before a jury,
Lloyd George defending, and at the
conclusion of the arguments the jury
awarded the verdict to Lloyd George
The Judge, however, said that the for
mer was in error on point of the law
and ruled against him.
In behalf of the villagers, Lloyd
George appealed tie case to the Lord
Chief Justice In London, who reversed
the first decision and awarded the
verdict to the villagers, thus proving
Lloyd George knew more Of the law
than the judge who had ruled against
him.
Due to the nature Of the case the
young lawyer received plenty of mo-
tice from both public and the law pro-
fession.
