Immunity to Poisons
Not Yet Understood

One of the most fascinating chap
tiers in animal poisons is the subject
of natural immunity, the fact that
some animals are immune to the pol
sons of others and remain unhurt
If stung or bitten by the poison
GUS animals, whereas all other sorts
of beasts succumb.
A case in point is that OF desert
animals. which are unframed by a
scorpions sting. The desert fox, the
kangaroo rat and other inhabi-
tants of deserts where scorpions
abound are in this happy position.
Their cousins, living far away from
the desert, would at once be Sc
riously injured by a scorpions
sting, whereas the desert breeds
remain unhurt. 1t is to be supposed
that in the far distant past, before
the desert animals had this COM
plete immunity to scorpion venom,
those which were stung and could
not resist died, leaving no offspring.
Their luckier brothers, who hap
pened to have a harder cOnstitu-
ton, survived and left behind them
a resistant race of DESCENDANTS

Where Moses Got Them

Archeologists think they have
found Mount Sinai and the place
where Moses got the tablets on,
which were craven the Ten Com
mandments. A narrow canyon two
miles long leads into an open space
q mile across, entirely surrounded
by sheer cliffs and precipitous
slopes of the mountain top. Here
they have found the ruins OF q
tiny hidden city built after Moses
time and known as Petra. Some
of Its one-piece buildings, carved
out of solid sandstone still re-
main. One called the Treasury
of Pharaoh" built several CEN
turtles before Christ, stands out In
deep relief, it's pillars and super
structures intact. Petra is believed
to have begun about 600 B. @.
Moses was there, flrst.-Capper's

Tells OF Witnessing
Volcano in Eruption

Joseph H. :Sinclair, representing
the Americas Geographic society,
has returned no this country from q
hard trip of exploration through &c
uador, where he had terrific ex-
perience In an ,endeavor to reach
a smoking volcano which had erupt-
ed, the whole country for miles be-
ing , deluged with a flow Of lava.
The native had IA wholesome SUI
perstitious fear of the great pile and
could not be snduced to guide the
explorer as near las he wanted to
60, but by his own efforts and alone
he managed to get within several
miles Of the cone, and this was near
enough for him to witness num-
Der of explosions which repeatedly
changed the contour of the crater's
rim. Little or nothing had been
known about the volcano and he
secured valuable Data concerning
its character and location.
Mr.. Sinclair pointed out that he
was not the first white man to see
the volcano-a mountain which the
natives call Reventador, meaning
''Eruptor." Near the place the ex-
plerers came upon a lone white man
whs could not tell them how long
he had been there nor why he had
penetrated so far from civilized
association. Nor would he go with
them to the mountain. He, too, had
been infected by the superstition OF
the natives, which holds that when
ever human sets foot on the side
of the tall volcano Reventador be-
comes "muy brava,"" or very brave.

Lavon Maus and Kathreen Mar
thaler visited school this week.
The memorization work the past
month has been patriotic songs and
poems and facts about our state
and government.
Last week the primary folks
started to make a flag for their
room. The flag will be about a
yard long and is made of four-inch
paper squares. This requires a
little tact in folding the squares
but it is turning out so nicely that
after they have it finished and
hanging in their room they expect
every visitor to ADMIRE it. Gradual
ly the Halloween decorations in
our room will be disappearing and
turkies and pilgrim scenes are
taking their place.
This week a spelling certificate
was given to Oscar Rueckert, of
the second grade.
The fourth grade are gathering
material for their Thanksgiving
booklet. After they have complet-
ed these, they will be ready to
answer any question their friends
ask them about the subject They
viii even know about the Thanks
living dinner they had on that day.
The James Hart store, of Long
Prairie, sent us covers for our re-
port cards. This will help US to
keep our card clean and we ap-
preciate their kindness.

The play, titled "Above the

Created Cinderella

1t was just three centuries since
Charles Perrault, creator of Gin
derella and Red Riding Hood, was
born. Perrault, Frenchman,
never dreamed that the fairy chill
dren of his brain would become i'm
mortal. He wrote poetry of an ex-
ceedingly dull order. and it was by
his poems and not by his fairy
stories that he hoped to win fame.
Perrault conceived and wrote his
stories, which he called "Tales of
Mother Goose" to please his little
son, Just as Lewis Carroll, a mathe-
matician, told the tale Of Alice In
Wonderland to amuse two little
girls. Cinderella and her glass
slipper was one of Perrault's IA
vorite heroines. Some people have
tried to :. sist that Cinderella's slip
per of "verre," or glass, was meant
to be a slipper of "vair," or fur,
but one cannot imagine Cinderella
IN anything but a crystal slipper.

Edwin Booth and Lawrence Bar
rett teamed togethed for season
or two presenting Shakespeare,
masterpieces. In 1887 they OPP
ened the theatre in Minneapolis be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets
(which was in it's later years known
as the Lyric. The theatre, the
finest from an artistic standpoint
iin the Northwest at the time was
never popular with the public be-
cause it was too far out of town.
Mary Anderson retired from the
stage about that time because of
her marriage to a foreign noble
man; w. j. Florence and Joseph
Jefferson, the latter of rip Van
WinMe" fame, joined forces for
a short time and presented "The
Rivals" sterling comedy of it's
day. Clara Morris was a nation
ally known tragediene; Henry
Irving and Ellen Terry, noted Eng
lish artists used to make occasion
al visits to the United States APP
pearing in Shakespeare; John Dill
Ion was a comedian of rare ability,
and Lolita was a coincidence who
sometimes appeared in shocking
costumes reaching slightly below
her shapely knees; Lily Langtry,
was English, and the renowned
stage beauty of her day; she was
also very clever.
When this show was given in
Marshall Nat Goodwin was just
coming into his own as the leading
American comedian; at that time
he had probably not been married
over a couple of times.

Gas Tax Amendment
Holds Up Contracts
Fall Work is Let, but 1929 Pro-
gram Announcement Has Been
Postponed

Until it is definitely known
whether the constitutional amend
tment to divert one-third of the
gas tax from the trunk highway
fund to the state road and bridge
fund, is adopted or defeated, there
apparently will be no advertising
of trunk highway construction pro
jects in the 1929 grading and pay
ing program.
Other years the larger paving
and grading jobs are usually ad-
vertised in the fall. The depart
ment has been able to get lower
prices through this practice, as it
gives the successful bidders time
to buy their material and machin-
cry and get ready so they can start
as soon as weather permits in the
spring.
The gasoline tax is the largest
item in the revenues available for
construction, as most of the auto
license money is needed for main
tenance and for sinking fund and
interest to take care of the county
reimbursement bonds. If the
amendment is adopted, it will take
away one-third of the gas tax,
which now goes for trunk high
way construction. The Legislature
might increase the gas tax so as
to make up for what is taken away,
but there is no certainty that this
will be- done. So. Mr.. Babcock
states that he will not advertise
any large paving or grading jobs
for 1929 until he knows that the
department will have funds to pay
for them. Some jobs will be adj
vertised later, but the number will
not be determined until the fate
of the amendment is Known.

FAIR GROUNDS
CONSTRUCTION
BEGINS TODAY
Bismarck Race and Rodeo AS
ISOLATION Begins Erection Of
Permanent Buildings

Actual construction of buildings
on Bismarck's future fair grounds
began today with the laying Of the
foundation for a woman's rest room,
according to Mrs C. X. Bryan,
manager of the Bismarck Race and
Rodeo association.
Within the next two months, more
than $4,000 will. be spent in the
construction Of two horse barns, a
judges stand, band stand and a
one-half mile modern regulation
running track.
The grounds are located one mile
east of Fort Lincoln on the Patter-
son road and consist Of tract Of
100 acres which have been leased by
the association and will be pur-
chased in the near future.
The first harness meet has been
scheduled for June 10, 20 and Fl
and will mark the first harness
races to be held ir Burleigh county
in Is years.
Part of Circuit
The Bismarck association is a
part Of the North Dakota racing
circuit and the horses that race
here will also appeap-on the Minot,
Devils Lake, Jamestown, Grand
Forks and Fargo tracks.
1T is our aim to build the fastest
race track and most beautiful
grounds in the state. The racing
attractions that are booked for the
opening dates are of the highest
class. In addition there will be a
carnival and number of high class
shows" Mrs. Bryan said today.
Located in terrain that has an
oak grove and is Unanswered by
Apple Creek, the grounds have one
of the most beautiful settings in the
western part of the state. Mrs.
Bryan announced that picnic
grounds and swimming pool would
also be built this summer.
Stands To BE Built
Both grandstand and bleachers
will probably be constructed before
the first harness meet, Mrs. Bryan
said. At the present time officials
Of the association are making a
survey of the stands throughout the
state and will combine the best fea-
lures of all in the construction of
the stands here.
Construction of the horse barns
will begin as soon as the frost has
left the ground. The two barns
will be 10 by 20 feet and will be
located adjacent to the track.

New York, March 21.-(AP) -
Speculation for the advance con.
tinued at terrific pace on the New

oils and coppers joining the upward

Nearly 2,50O,OOO shares changed
hands in the first three hours Of
trading, with the ticker 1t least Is
minutes behind the actual market.
The days news was mixed in
character. Lowering of the call
money renewal rate to Ia per cent
had a tendency to quiet speculative
fears of an early increase in money
rates, although the recent advance
in the sterling rate brings it to a
level where gold exports to England
may again be profitable. Weekly
steel trade reviews reported that the
industry was holding its recent
gains and better trade conditions
were reported from the copper and
oil industries. Some disappointment
was apparent as a result OF the
further falling off in freight car
traffic in the week ending March 10.
