Eel on Anglers Hook
Makes for Profanity

The eel is an interesting fish. In
fresh water i have seldom seen him
moving about in daylight, unless the
water was very dark colored, but in
salt water / have seen numbers of
them swimming fearlessly and hunting
small fish in packs.
The eel has great strength and
seems to understand how to apply it.
He will twist himself about a stick
or bunch Of grass, when hooked, and
secure leverage that enables him to
bend or break the hook and get away.
When lifted from the water on a
hook at the end of line, he often
curls his tail about his body and
climbs, tail end first, by the line,
which he can tangle almost hopelessly
before he can be removed from it.
After removing IN eel from hook
untangled the line and counted eight
half bitches and two single overland
knots which the fish had tied more
quickly than / could have done it my
self.-Armstrong Perry in the Forum
Magazine.

Lycurgus Pictured az
Foe or ss4nrd Liquor

J King Lycurgus, reputed founder Of
the Spartan constitution, is given the
honor by tradition of being one Of the
worlds first prohibitionists, says q
writer in the Kansas City Star. In
fact, several ancient historians say he
was such good king that his subjects
could not tolerate him.
Though Plutarch even in his time
wrote that, there was the greatest
variance in he recorded accomplish
ments of Lycurgus, on the following
STORY several earlier writer's seem to
agree. After returning from extern
sive travels, including Egypt, Spain,
Crete, India and Libya, Lycurgus in
stituted several drastic reforms in
Thracia, among these being the abol-
ishment Of the worship of Bacchus.
Wine and drunkenness were almost
the essentials Of religion then, conse-
quently many Of the people thought
there must be nistake on some
body's part in attempting to enforce
such sudden sobriety, and instruction
resulted. Lycurgus saw that emer-
gency measures were necessary and
visiting the high priestess he COM
manded her to express his reform
views in oracular form.
Whether she was one who was not
averse to an occasional cup herself
will never be known, but tradition
says that those in the temple soon
heard the oracle's mystic voice declare
mo more wine shall be drunken in
Thrace," adding after a small but
highly significant pause, $50 long as
Lycurgus is on the throne" The
Thracians then submitted, but short
ly thereafter Lycurgus died. The date
of his reign is uncertain, but most his
torians place it in the Ninth century

Unuerifed Sayings

Did Napoleon Benaparte, in refer
ring to his marriage with an Austrian
princess and to his trusting friendship
for her country, say: "There stepped
onto an abyss covered with flowers. " 2
These words appear in authentic rec
ords Of the exiled emperor's life along
with many other graceful phrases that
soften unpleasant truths in orthodox
French fashion. French uthorities,
too, disagree over that famous cry I:
after me- the deluge." One early
memoir credits it to Madame de Pom
padour. Larouse's "Fleurs Histor-
iQues" attributes 1t to Louis XIV.

The citizens felt that by receiving

satisfactory, they might prevent the
construction of unSightly buildings.
Maj. Brown told the citizens the Park
and Planning Commission was agree
able to their suggestion to widen Van
Ness street in the neighborhood Of the
Thorn estate, as a safety precaution.
He explained the original LEnfant

Resolutions were passed urging better
street car service on Wisconsin avenue
and improvement of the awkward"
traffic situation at Wisconsin avenue
and Van Ness street.
