Her foreign comrades-in-arms received it dur ing what was probably the high est emotional peak in their lives.

"The first is, that, in the ten years following the war, Italy's national affairs were in upheaval. She has been too busy readjust- ing herself into the modern Italy of today to spend much time ex- perimenting with new movements in any of the arts.
 "The second reason is that we, as a country, are so rich in our native music, with every man, woman and child understanding music both intellectually and emo- tionally, that it is only natural we should accept a new interpreta- tion of music only when we could approve it wholeheartedly.
 "Then too, it is hard for Latin to comprehend hot jazz When jazz was in the noisy stage it could not pr ,sibly have had any appeal to th Italian, but since it has be- come musical and numbers such as Down Where the Sun Goes Down nave evolved from it, Italians sponsor it gladly.

Governors to Speak.
Standardizing Fish Names.

Current fish literature is rendered
somewhat perpleXing by the confusion
of names which are applied to the
specimens in different localities. The
United States Bureau of Fisheries I'M
dertook some time ago to clear up this
situation by adopting a uniform Sys-
tenn of nomenclature, but this has not
entirely met with the approval of the
nature writer's and fish experts OF the
country, and they have solved the prob
lem by getting together and arranging
some matters to. their own satisfaction.
The term "musky" will be used to des-
ignate that king of fresh water sport
ing fishes known variously as muskel-
lunge, maskinonge, muskalunge. mas
kallonge, and so on, ad infinttum The
plural will be "muskies." The term
"wall-eye" will be used to name the
pike-perch, which is called pike, pick
erel, dore, Susquehanna salmon, etc,
depending upon the locality. Gray
trout, gray lake trout, salmon trout,
mountain trout, land-locked salmon,
Mackinaw trout and togue will all be
called lake trout" Brook trout will
be applied to the native speckled tSout,
salvelinus fontinalis, which is known
by variety of names. "Cropple" was
agreed upon as the spelling of croppie,
known as lamplighter, shad, strawberry
bass, new light, speckled bass an so on.

WIDOW OF SENATOR'S
SON LOSES ALIMONY
Mrs. Jeanette Gallinger Burnap
Forfeits 500 Monthly to Sec
ond Husband.

Mrs. Jeanette Gallinger Burnap,
widow of the son of the late Senator
Gallinger, today lost an alimony allow
ance of 500 month which the District
Supreme Court had required her hus-
band, George Burnap, landscape art
ist, residing in France. to pay her. The
husband noted an appeal from the de-
cision, and the District Court of Appeals
today, in an opinion by Chief Justice
Martin, reversed the finding OF the lower
tribunal.
The Burnaps were married in Paris
December S, 1924, and lived together
less than four months, partly in Paris
and partly in the United States. The
husband, on March 80, 1925, returned
alone to the United States and several
months later was followed by the wife,
but they have lived apart since that
time. The wife brought suit for main
tenance, charging cruelty, and asserted
her husband had not contributed to her
support since leaving her in Paris.
The appellate court finds tina the cruel
ty charge was not proved and that the
husband, expecting to be away from
Paris for only short period, had made
adequate arrangement for his Wifes ex-
penSes in his absence. The court also
points out there was an ante-nuptial
agreement requiring separate control OF
the property of each party and that the
wife has an income of $1,000 from a
fund placed for her benefit by rela-
tive. She agreed to contribute to the
household expenses in the proportion OF
her income to that Of the husband, and
the record does not show that she ever
did So.
Burnap claimed that his wife left
him without cause and kept her where

CONTRACTORS RING.
CHARGED IN SUIT.
Injunction Against Strikes in
New York and Here Asked
by Alexander.

Harry Alexander, Inc, electrical con-
tractor Of washington and New York
City, today filed suit in the District ST.
preme Court through Attorney w. c..
Sullivan against II defendants, mclud-
ing the International brotherhood OF
Electrical Workers, its New York and
Washington local unions and their Off
GERS, asking an injunction to prevent
strikes against the plaintiff in New
York and in the District Of Columbia
The Electrical Contractors Association
of New York and its president were
also named as defendants.
The bill charges that ring exists
among certain electrical contractors in
New York City in cooperation with some
OF the officers or members OF the cleo
trical workers unions, whereby con-
tracts are parceled out to electrical
contractors in such manner as they
shall agree between themselves, -on-
cealing the fact of their agreement
from the owners and general contrac-
tors, who award such contracts, and
that the Electrical Contractors Associa-
ton of New York has been organized
for the purpose Of furthering, fostering
and promoting such operations.
Contractor Is picked"
It further charges that in connection
WIN LEe Oally news building OpeIdIlOIl
in New York City, the alleged con
tractors ring picked the electrical con-
tractor who was to do the work on that
building; that the general contractor
learning what had been done declined
to recognize the hand-picked electrical
contractor and instead gave the work
to the plaintiff; that thereupon the al
legged ring caused the electrical workers
union to call a strike on all of the
plaintiffs operations in and around
New York; that the plaintiff was thus
compelled to employ for its New York
operations men connected with rival
union and thereupon the local union
of electrical workers in the District of
Columbia was instructed by the inter-
national officers to call strike here
against the plaintiff for employing men
in New York alleged to be non-union.
Business Ruin Sought"
The bill further charges that the al
legged contractors ring" had determined
to destroy the plaintiffs business, and
that the Electrical Workers Union has
in ct least one instance refused to fur
nish men to go on with the plaintiff S
contracts in Washington until the
plaintiff is eliminated from the work.
The plaintiff has applied for an in
junction pending suit and Justice Bailey
has set the application for hearing

Frogs Prefer Triangles.

That frogs can distinguish between
squares and triangles was shown in re-
cent tests made by S. Biedermann, an
European scientist. He set before the
jumpers square and triangle blocks i'll
pairs one of the blocks had an insect
attached to it, After the triangular
block had appeared accompanied by
food several times, the frogs would hop
eXpectantly to triangular blocks. Tests
with several species of frogs confirmed
their ability to distinguish between diff
ferent shaped blocks. Biedarmann says
that little frogs are the "brainiest."
