Expect Banded Birds
to Explain Mystery

Bird enthusiasts, who wish to help
solve the mysteries of bird migration,
will have plenty Of employment try.
ing to get returns on the 100000 birds
that have been banded under the
auspices of the United States biolog-
lcal survey. Returns on banded birds,
according to Frederick @. Lincoln, in
charge of this activity of the survey,
now amount to 10,338 cases. Knowl-
edge of the movements of the bird
after its first banding, gained from
these return reports, enables ornithol-
oglsts to get precise information con-
corning bird migration, mystery that
has puzzled mankind since the time
Of Aristotle. Ducks supply the most
returns. Mr.. Lincoln said This Is
undoubtedly due to the fact that
many banded waterfowl are taken by
the millions of hunters in the field
during the hunting season. Promi-
nent among the bird problems of eco
nomic interest which banding may be
expected to solve, Mr.. Lincoln points
out, is the control of red winged
blackbrds that do much damage to
the rice crop Of the South and of
California in late summer and early
fall.

Tiger" Gets New Car,

Paris, France.-Georges Clemen.
ceau, the grand old man of Gaul, who
uses an automobile instead of the
train for travelling about France, tried
to buy a new car the other day and
couldn't. The company insisted on
giving it to him.
For several years the Tiger had
travelled about in a big but old car
He decided it was about time to get
a new model and went to the sales
Office to see how much he would be
allowed on the old machine.
Monsieur lie President" the sales
manager said, "France owes you too
much. Let me pay my part Of the
debt" And he refused to accept a

SEAT IN HOUSE OF
LORDS IS EASY JOB
Can't Lose 1t, Anyway, So
Nobody Attends.

London.-The idea which is preva.
lent among many people that the
house of lords is the usual type Of
legislative body made up of leisurely
gentlemen Of title has been dissipated
by Prof. Harold Laski in recent dis
cussion of the proposed reform of that
body.
Few people are aware, for example,
that a peers seat in the house OF
lords can no more be taken from him
than can his name, regardless of how
little attention he may give 1T. AS q
result it is revealed that 412 men,
bers of the house have never spoken
in debate. Indeed, the average attend
ance since 1918 has been Sc, and only
on six occasions since then have more
than $50 of them voted In a division.
Few Prominent.
Only once in the last half century
has a man achieved distinction in the
house of lords who had not previously
distinguished himself in the house OF
commons. This single exception was
Lord Roseberry, which makes it fair
to conclude that even he became emf
nent not because of his seat in the
house of peers but rather in spite OF
it.
This seeming Indifference of the
peers to their prerogatives in the
upper house is partly due to the in
al oloS, xr,IS fhnu pnccnCC IN
their seats, as we'll as to the fact that
these gentlemen are not clustered in
dividuals leading an existence far re-
moved from the masses, as many sup
pose, but often prominent figures in
the heat and stress of daily human
conflict.
1t should be remembered 242 of them
own 100000 acres in Great Britain
and Ireland, and represent the landed
interest. Two hundred and seventy
five are directors of business organi-
cations. OF these latter, 100 are oil
rectors of insurance companies, &C OF
different banks, 70 directors of COM
panies listed as finance and invest.
ment, 81 directors of railway com
panies, 40 directors of engineering and
shipping companies, while many more
are officials of companies engaged in
gold mining.
Propose Changes.
Referring to the proposals of Lord
Cave and Lord Birkenhead for the re.
form of the house of lords, Lord Cor.
rell recently declared that he remem'
bered nothing more inept even in
Conservative history than these pro
posals, which were too strong even
for members of their own party. He
decried the aim of setting up the
house OF lords as an unalterably per
manent body, saying that there coule
be no justification for chamber
which could come into definite con
fict with an elected chamber.
Lord Gorrell took the occasion tt
issue warning that, even though NJ
mention was made of. the proposed
house of lords reforms in the king
recent speech to parliament, the ide;
had not been dropped and would un
questionably be revived in form
modified to meet the views of the Con
sentative members of the commons.

Light Waves Preserve
Loaf of Bread 8 DAYS

Cincinnati-The contribution of sci
ence to the baking of a more perfect
loaf of bread was discussed by the
Ohio Academy of Science recently in
it's analysis of the ways scientific in
vestigation has aided industry and
health.
Bacteria in the engines used in
making bread are now destroyed by
exposing them to light waves of a
certain length, enabling the produc-
ton of bread which will remain I'M
spoiled and sweet after eight days,
acting President Hermann Schneider
of the University of Cincinnati told
the academy. The process was perfect
ed in the research laboratory of the
University of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Schneider said the light process
had also been successfully applied to
destroy the bacteria in orange juice
milk and other foodstuffs.

BIGGEST AIRSHIP
UP AT AUCTION
Awaits Highest Bidder at Yep.
pelin Works.

Friedrichshafen, Germany.-For the
first time in history dirigible Is to
be sold at auction.
The LIZ 127, described as the might.
lest airship ever constructed, is on
the open market awaiting the highest
bidder. It was originally designed by
the Zeppelin Construction company
for commercial flights between Spain
and Argentina, but the South Ameri-
can government failed to provide an
adequate hangar and landing field, so
the plan was abandoned.
AS soon as purchaser Is found
the Zeppelin company will start build
ing an IL 1913.
Feverish activity prevails in the
three lofty hangers of the Zeppelin
company on Lake Constance, in which
200 workmen and engineers are striv-
ing against time to launch the LIZ 1877
by the end of May.
With capacity of 344,4 S7 cubic
feet and length of TO feet, the
ship surpasses in size an ordinary
ocean liner and is bigger by half
than the Los Angeles.
Five Maybach, motors of $50 horse
power each are being mounted In
their special gondolas. Their COM
bined energy will insure speed of
seventy-nine miles an hour. AS In
flation gas for floating the Zeppelin
pure hydrogen will be employed and
both benzine and hydrocarbonated
gas, approximately as light as air, are
intended as motor fuel.
The aerial greyhound will be
manned by crew of twenty-six on
it's trial flight and by thirty-six on
voyages to other continents. The
commander will be DR.. Hugo Eckener
who also took the ZR Ill, later the
Los Angeles, to America.
Comfortable accommodations are
provided for twenty passengers. The
ship can carry 100 persons, but pas.
sengers are not paying factor for
large dirigible as yet. 1t derives
it's profit mainly from mails and
freight.

Gen. John A. Lejeune, comman-
