Great Artists Pipes
Priced as Art Relics

One does not often hear of smokers
pipes being ranked high among art rel

tobacco precludes them from Boosting

your smoker who MAKES the colorins
of pipe a solemn ritual may have
very pronounced views on IT'S artistic
claims. Nor Is his point OF view ig-
nored by the fine arts authorities, for,
adjacent to a rich collection of snuff
boxes, there may be seen at the muse
um of decorative arts, In the Louvre,
number of well-seasoned pipes,
most of which must have belonged to
hearty smokers. Perhaps the most
noteworthy are a couple OF briars
which belonged to the painter Corot.
1t is said that he smoked these pipes
while painting several of his greatest
works, and II so, they have a legiti-
mate claim to distinction. Pipes at

All opinions, properly so called, are

the world and drawn Il conclusion, he
has travelled as far. This does not

U. 5. Biological Survey
Cares For Wild Life

Saving the wild birds and animals
which are of use to the United States
is one Of the big tasks of the U. 5.
biological survey at Washington. This
branch of government activity is under
the department of agriculture and is
busy constantly with scientific expert
ments which are of interest to those
concerned with the preservation Of our
wild animals and birds. In writing
of some of the tasks performed by
the survey, Mr.. w. G. Henderson, as
socate chief of the bureau of the bio
logical survey, says in the current
issue of the National Republic:
There are very few people either in
| the city or town or on the farm, who
do not enjoy the time spent in the
oper~>in surroundings of hills and
streams, forests, lakes and meadows.
All love our country's rocks and rills,
and it's woods and tempted hills and
not the least Of these enjoyments is
that produced by the presence in these
places of the song and game birds,
the deer and other big game mammals,
and the smaller and elusive fur
bearers.
"Nor does it detract from the beau
ty of the wonders of nature to know
that we are preserving the wild birds
and animals for our continued enjoy
ment and for the pleasure Of future
generations by measures based upon
scientific investigation. Our national
congress has created wild-life serv-
ice of the federal government to con-
duct the necessary research and to
apply measures of conservation and
control. This agency is one of the
scientific bureaus Of the department
of agriculture, and is known as the
bureau Of biological survey.
"The Biological survey serves the
man out Of doors and the public gen
orally by studies of all phases of our
wild birds and four footed animals. 1t
maintains refugees for their perpetu-
alton. 1t administers laws designed to
allow proper use and enjoyment of
this great natural resources and at the
same time to prevent such abuse as
would bring the various species to Ill
innate If not speedy determination.
In cooperation with the states it UNI
dertakes measures to control preda-
tory and other injurious species.
"The individual states have sole
power to enact such laws as relate to
the hunting and trapping of nom
migratory game and fur-bearers. They
cooperate, however, with the federal
authorities in regulating the hunting
Of migratory birds.
"To obtain the fundamental infor-
nation necessary for wise admin
stration of our wild-life resources, BIZ
ologists Of the survey for the past "A
years have been collecting authentic
information regarding the life habits
Of birds and mammals; their geogra-
phie distribution and migration; their

Algerian Crasshoppers

Some Algerian grasshoppers, just
arrived at the London ZOO, have beat
en- Nil records for the genius OF leap
ing. They seem to have sacrificed ev-
erything for this as, though the body
is barely an inch long, the hind legs
are fully three inches.
The newcomers are confined In n
glass case, two feet high, yet, when
first put in, their horny heads were
continually tapping on the roof.
Unlike other grasshoppers, they are
carnivorous, feeding on raw meat and
dead Insects; and Instead of living
amongst grass they haunt damp caves.
This species has never before been
seen at the menagerle.

to the farmer, the orchardist and the

"This opens up complex situation,
for every form of wild life requires
food for it's continued existence, and
in getting the food that it has been ac-
customed to take for untold genera
tions, it is sure to come into COMPETE

BY SOL AUERBACH

"Krassin - The Rescue Ship"
shown al Carnegie Hall Tuesday
night, is more than the story Of an
Arctic rescue. When the Krassin left
Leningrad after five days of hectic
preparations and made its way into
the frozen seas of the north the cap
italist world remained frozen to its
keel. But, before the Krassin was
through, it's sturdy bow had also
cleaved the ice of a hostile world
and reached the working class every
where. The Krassin steamed out of
Leningrad as the representative of
the Soviet Union and showed that
proletarian determination and soli-
darity could conquer the Arctic, just
as it had conquered one-siNth CT the
worlds surface. ....,,
While the Krassin was being
shown at Carnegie Hall one. could
see in the audience the real sig
nificance of the rescue. That his
toric trip had made so deep an i'm
preston on the proletarian world,
the inefficiency and cowardice of
the fascists had awakened such a
wave of disgust that the showing
of the actual exploits could awaken
only the greatest enthusiasm in the
audience for this example of Soviet
accomplishment. When the actual
rescue took place revolutionary
workers throughout the world gave
vent to their enthusiasm, for was it
not an exploit of their own class, of
their own socialist fatherland, of
their own workers government?
And when you see the Krassin crash
ing through the ice on the screen
you feel exactly the same way about
it. At every fresh feat of daring,
at every token Of comradely eff
cheney and good nature in the face
Of death, applause shook the hall and
drowned out the Intellectual Kissing
Of the fascist gangs who were pres
ent.
The story is simple one. The
Soviet government set task and a
small group of seamen and scien-
lists accomplished it. A Russian
radio amateur picked up the clue.
The capitalist world laughed at it.
The Krassin believed in it, together
with the Soviet Union, and its mass
allies throughout the world. And as
you board the Perseus and then the
Malygin and finally the successful

SHOE WORKERS
ORGANIZE MORE
PLANTS HERE
6-Hour Strike Forces
One Boss to Sign Up

Shoe workers here have shaken
themselves out of lethargy that
lasted number of years caused by
the betrayals of reactionary and
now non-existant unionss and are
compelling the open shop employers
in Brooklyn to sign with the indie
pendent Shoe Workers Union and
grant full union recognition and
conditions to the men.
The drive for unionization has al
ready resulted in the signing up of
many employers never before
signed. The latest victory recorded
by the union was consummated yes
terday when the Elbee Shoe Com
pany, employing about 70, sigred
the agreement. The strike lasted
only 6 hours.
The anton also announces that
Benjamin and Schwartz, a firm
strike-bound for over two weeks, has
called for negotiations with the
union.
The Gilmore Shoe Company, 1908
Pitkin Ave, employing So, was shut
down this morning when the entire
crew walked out in answer to
strike call issued by the union.
As the campaign gains momen-
tum, more and more workers are
voluntarily coming to union head
quarters at 81 East 10th st. and
signing up with the union. taking
advantage of the special initiation
fee of So.
An appeal was issued yesterday
by the union to all workers to send
in contributions to the Organization
Fund, which is being used to con-
duct the drive.
Proof that the employers are
frantic as the drive grows can be
seen in the fact that some OF them
are advertising for shoe workers to
come scabbing in New York.

meagre wages paid for this back
