Reviewed by Ruth Edwards
Although the entire book is de-
voted to interesting details of the
authors excursions, was very much
interested in the eleventh chapter.
This chapter, which told about the
turtles, was interesting to me as we
had just finished studying about these
animals. Turtles are very important
to the natives as a source of food
and oil. The native government ap-
points commander over each pond
frequented by turtles. The command
er is then responsible to the natives,
for each native is allowed an equal
share of the egg, meat and oil har-
vest. Two sentinels are appointed to
keep track of when the eggs are laid.
The turtles excavate with their broad,
webbed raws, deep holes in the sand,
the first conner, in each case. making
pit about three feet deep and laying
one hundred and twenty eggs in this
pit. The turtle covers these eggs and
another turtle makes its deposit on top
of that of its predecessor and so on,
until the pit is full.
The next turtle trip the author
attended was to search for yong
turtles. The natives shot the turtles as
they came near the surface, with bows
and arrows. The natives also use nets
to catch the turtles. The entire catch
is divided among the inhabitants ac-
cording to the number in each family.
The third turtle excursion is to
gather oil. The eggs are laid in
September and the natives wait until
October to gather the entire harvest.
The collecting and purifying of the
Oil occupied four days. After the
eggs are gathered, they are put in an
empty canoe and are mashed with
wooden clubs; or sometimes the
natives jump into the mass and tread
it down. Water is poured into the
canoe, and after few hours the
heat OF the sun causes the oil to come
to the surface. The oil is skinned off
with long spoons and purified in copp-
er kettles over the fire.
The destruction of eggs and young
turtles is enormous, but the natives
Continue to perform this program Of
destruction every year.
Amy person interested in Zoology
would be interested in Mr.. Bates de-
serlption of the animals, birds and
insects of this region. The author
tells his readers a great deal about
monkeys and ants, of many different
species.

tunity. he must make the best of every
come working partners.
That's the theory of Baron Walter
Won Pechmann, Just 26 years old. son OF
high officer in the German army and
grandson of the head minister Of Ba-
varia.
And that's why Baron Won Pech-
mann, scion of noble German family,
educated in the best of Germany's uni
versities and trained as soil chemist
and business man, is working as bus
boy in the Marine room at The Olym-
pic hotel in Seattle. He's still in the
pursuit of opportunity.
1t was two years ago that the young
German came to the United States.
Baron Hans won B. Ungelter. then
German consul in Seattle and school
mate of his father, had obtained po-
sition for him on the ranch of j. Won
Herbsrg in the Yakima valley. The
youth worked there until Won Herberg
sold the ranch. Then he came to Seattle.
Won Pechmann looked for position
as a chemist. He found that the demand
here was for specialists in lines other
than that in which he had specialized,
soil chemistry. he had also been train
cd for office management, but he found
no opening. So he made the best OF his
situation. HE went to work as bus boy
in the Marine room.
In the meantime his sweet
heart had come to the United States
from Germany and the couple were
married. The girl, now a baroness in
German social life, went to work in the
hotels cafeteria.
Many have noticed and remarked
about the SCARED left cheek of the
baron-bus boy. Those scars are the
result of 81 1duels he fought while in
school,
"In Germany" he explains, differ
ences in the best universities are
settled with swords, not with fists.
Baron Won Pechmann smiles and his
eyes light with memories as he speaks
about the diels. But in the meantime
the hand that once held the heavy OF
light sword in dueling, now handles
coffee cups and dishes.
In the past this youth has attended
such schools as the Royal Aristocratis
.Julianum Of Wurzburg and universities
ir Berlin, Stuttgart and Munich. Nov
he'c enrolled in the University o
Hard Knocks" seeking opportunity
And he'll keep on working until HI
finds it.

DETROIT P).--A new effort to solve
the fuel-knock problem and determine
the exact anti-knock relations Of vari-
GUS blends Of gasoline In both airplane
and automobile engines is being under
taken jointly by the Army Air Corps at
Wright Field. Ohio, and by the Ethyl
Gasoline Corporation at its laboratory
here.
Special knock-testing machines, re-
Gently developed. will be used as me-
chanical check on the work both here
and at Wright Field. Tests have been
under way for several months, officials
Of the fuel company said but in the
new work the first actual comparison of
fuels will be made.
Through the tests Army engineers
hope to produce blend of tetra-ethyl
lead gasoline which will produce more
power and minimize the knocks in the
higher compression engines. In time Of
war, 1t was pointed out, distances be-
tween fueling stations are of necessity
greater and the power produced by fuel
may mean the difference between dis
aster and safety.
In the automobile tests here, two
cars. one with an L-head engine and
another employing the valve-in- head
are to be run eight hours q day for an
indefinite time until the desired data
is accumulated. Engineers will observe
the reaction Of various blends Of fuel
in the cars and then test them in the
knock-testing engines.

open and exposed water supplies are
the ones to be Stunned. Investigation
of these kinds of water supplies for the
primary purpose of protecting automo-
bile tourists was started in Ohio a
number of years ago when Seal OF

Water supplies readily accessible to
travellers on the main highways were
examined, and those found or made
satisfactory had attached to them seal
called 1.-The Seal of Safety" Since
that time many other States have in

indicating suitable drinking water sup
plies may be found attached to pumps
along most Of the principal highways OF
the country.
