CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Clarence Dar-
row. attorney of more than 100 mur-
der trials, told international News
Service today that for the re.
nainder of his career he. would
never act again as counsel for any-
one in a murder trial.
Darrow, who is credited with saw
ing the lives of Richard Loeb and
Nathan Leopold, Chicago thrill
slayers, in one of the greatest MUIR
der trials in Chicago. said at that
time he would not act as an at
torney for any murderers in the
future. He has, however. repre-
sented since two persons accused OF
murder, but in each case Darrow
admitted he acted in the first in
stance because Of boyhood obli-
cation to the accused, and in the
second case he said frankly he was
actuated because he felt the man
under indictment had been wrcnged
grievously.
I'm getting old, I'm tired, I want
a rest. I have enough money to
satisfy my needs. My murder trial
days are over" he said.

shifting at the human figures on the

were much more favorable. OF FIVE

showing fight on the appearance of a
big dog on the screen. Experiments
with birds were rather negative. Geese
and ducks. chickens and pigeons paid
some attention, while owls showed
great interest Small birds and barn

Fee Is Disappearing

made. Fee was long seat of Arabian

cent times the city had monopoly
of the manufacture of Fee caps, it be

the caps their dull crimson hue could

Make Arnun! Roundup
of Wild Island Ponies

There are many stories to account
for the wild ponies on Chincoteague
and Assoteague and some other
islands off the Virginia coast, but
there seems to be nothing of an au-
thoritative nature to explain their
presence.
Some of the ponies off the Virginia
coast have never seen a human and
are very wild. The largest ponies
measure about IS hands high, and be-
cause their principal habitat Is Chin
colleague island-a strip of land about
nine miles long by mile and half
wide-they are often referred to as
Chincoteague ponies.
One of the stories concerns a Span
ish nobleman who undertook to take
advantage of the opportunities offered
in the New world for horse breeding.
animals, but on the way the vessel
was wrecked and he was lost, although
some of the animals managed to find
their way to the shore of Chinco-
league.
This story is corroborated to some
extent by the Indian legend concern
ing the origin of the animals at this
point Though the animals run wild,
they are not public property. for they
are owned by the persons who own
the islands. and there is a roundup
every year, when some of the ami
mails are conveyed to the mainland
and sold.

Feed Through Roots

Roots anchor the trees to the
ground, absorb water from the soil.
and transport water to the stem, says
the American Tree association. With,
out roots, trees could not stand up,
and without roots trees would starve,
for they supply water and food to the
stem, branches, twigs, leaves and
other parts of the crown. The prin-
cipal work of the big roots near the
stem is to help the trees stand up.
while the fine root hairs at the end
of the rootIets are the ones that alb
sorb the water from the soil.

Expression Is Old

"Paying through the nose" means to
pay a fancy price for thing-to pay
more than it is worth-to get stung
The origin of the expression is lost in
obscurity. There was legend that
Odin, the Morse god, imposed tax re
sembling the modern poll tax. In
Sweden it was called nose tax, be
cause it was penny nose. In de
fault of payment the nose was sup
posed to be the forfeit. Paying

with this myth. The French have q
