Filming wild animal life in its ma
tive haunts is one OF the most diff
cult things TO accomplish. according
TO members Of the Burden Chanler
expedition into northern Ontario.
which brought back the authentic
record OF Indian life, The Silent
Enemy"
In addition to filming animal life
in nature. however. the Burden
Chanler expedition had to capture
pictures Of the animals in scenes
which would work definitely with
the romantic synopsis OF the picture.
For instance, a great caribou migra-
ton forms a climatic sequence Of
the story. and, In order TO capture
these scenes. a great deal OF careful
planning and long-suffering patience
we're required.
I'VE were sitting around a little

HOOVER PLANS
BANKERS MEET
Rains Looked to for Aid
I'm Solving Drouth
Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. i6.-P-
A Hoover conference with bankers
from the drought ridden states
stood out today as the next
national move in the drought re-
lief campaign. Beneficial rains
meanwhile alleviated conditions
In several OF the sun-parched
areas.
AS soon as the state relief COM
mittees-agreed upon at the White
House conference OF Governors
have been set up, President Hoover
expects to call IN their banking
members for a discussion Of the
financial means to be employed
In the campaign TO prevent human
suffering and disease, and to tide
farmers and their livestock over
the winter season.
Meanwhile, federal agencies vir-
tually r marking time. Except
for minor measures and a polish
ing up of the government organ
ization to be employed in the relief
campaign, officials feel little can
be accomplished until the state,
county and local committees are
functioning. TO apply directly the
local relief available.
The program adopted received
the unqualified approval yester-
day OF the heads OF three import
ant farm organizations. The Ma
tional Grange. Farmers Union
and American Farm Bureau
Federation. At a White House
conference Louis j. Taber, C. c.
Talbot, and Sam II. Thompson,
heads OF the three groups. told
the president they considered the
plan the best available and pledg-
ed wholehearted cooperation.
Rains were looked TO meanwhile,
10 rejuvenate pasture land and to
aid In raising the morale Of
farmers who have been driven
near to restitution by the dry
weather and parching sun. Pre-
valence of cooler weather. even
without rain. was een as a
considerable aid In delaying deter
ioraticn OF grazing lands and
forage.
Forecasts were for rains today
and Sunday in the south atlantic
states. the Ohio Valley. Tennessee,
the Southern Appalachian region
and the Wester Lower Lake
region. A good precipitation in the
past several days was reported in
Missouri, southern Illinois and
Indiana. nearly all Kentucky and
West Virginia as well as In parts
OF other states. Further west. in
Oklahoma, Texas and the Dakotas,
rain still was awaited.
In Montana q serious situation

Hosiery of Mixed Color
Fad of Centuries Ago

The bright-colored hose worn in
the Fourteenth century reused the
ire of even Chaucer, who declares
that "the wrapping of their hose
which are deported of two colors,
white and red, white and black. or
black and red and white and blue,
make the wearers seem as though
the Fire of st. Anthony or other
such mischance had cankered and
consumed one-half of their bodies.
The fashion of wearing two
colors, (which rendered uncertain
the fellowship of the legs" contin-
ued in spite Of the ridicule and
satire of the poets and chroniclers,
until the middle of the Sixteenth
century.
The long hose or herlots worn
by persons of quality at the time
Were made of the finest cloth or
velvet, and there is record Of Henry
III ordering three pairs for his sis
ter Isabella, which were to be Of
velvet embroidered with gold. Knit
ted stockings, or, as they were orig
inally called, stocking hose, were
introduced into Britain in the Six
teenth century, and those Of silk
were considered such luxury
that they were thought present
fit for king, so we find st. Thorn
as Gresham presenting a pair of
long Spanish silk hose to Edward
vi.

Crumbler Throws Away
Chance of Happiness

May we be spared from the grum-
bier And yet, If we would
change his grumble into pleasure,
we must exert a little patience of
our own. Getting impatient and dis
dainful and short-tempered with
him Is likely to make him worse.
And. after all. it isn't very hard to
help these rather trying people
along the road of life. The grum-
bling folk don't have a very easy
time. OF course, they can be a
positive nuisance to you. But just
think what a real nuisance they are
to themselves. To have always a
spirit of grumbling in ones mind
must be load. the weight of which
Pilgrim could never have imagined.
In many ways the grumblers bur
den is worse than Pilgrims. You
see, there was always a chance Of
his getting rid of it. He had got
into bad habits. but grumbling was
not one Of them.
Once you start grumbling. the
worst part of your mind will seize
upon it, practice upon it, develop
it, until you are in the nasty, al
most unbreakable meshes of it..
Soon it will choke every bit of hap
piness out of you. Resist grum-
bling always. Its power cannot
grow if you do that.-London Tit
Bits.

Rainfall Real Event in
Parts of South America

Many people. if asked what was
the driest place in the world, would
plump for Central Australia, where
rain fell last year after a drought
that had lasted for seven years.
They would be wrong, says an Eng
lish paper for there are some parts
of South America where a seven
years drought is nothing, and a
man can live out the Psalmists
three score and ten" without
ever seeing drop of rain. Of
course, it may rain sometimes. Lord
Ernest Hamilton has described the
coming of rain in Lima, the capital
of Peru, during a visit he paid there.
"We were fortunate enough to be
favored with the only shower which
Lima had enjoyed for seventy
years." he writes in his book Forty
Years On" "For five minutes 1t
rained solid tropical rain. The
terror-stricken inhabitants thought
the end of the world had come" But
if America can boast of some Of
the dryest places in the world, it
also contains some of the wettest !.
Greytown in Nicaragua, has had as
much as POT inches of rain in a
single year.

Burial at Airing ton

The secretary of war has the
power to authorize the burial of a
woman beside her husband in a
separate grave in Arlington Ma
tional cemetery provided the hus-
band was a commissioned officer.
In the case of enlisted men, if a
widow desires to be buried with
her husband arrangements must be
made with the War department to
have the grave made deep enough
so that a second casket can be
placed upon that of the soldier;
in other words, the soldier and his
widow must be buried in the same
grave. There would be no question
that a former President of the
United States, who was technically
commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, would be regarded as a
commissioned officer, although ac-
tually President Taft was civilian
who never held commission.

Principle Long Accepted

Gresham's law is a principle in
finance and political economy, for
mulated about the middle Of the
Sixteenth century by Sir Thomas
Gresham, founder Of the London
Royal exchange. The principle is {:
bad money drives out good money
from circulation. The good coin
(full weight and standard of purity
will be boarded and the worn and
thin, or light, coins will be used.
Good money will also be used for
export to other countries, where it
will obtain more in exchange, while
the light coins will be used at home,
thus depreciating the national cur
rency."

Bridal Bouquets

1t Is impossible to state when
flowers We're first used at we'd
ding, since this very ancient GUS
tom. Orange blossoms were worn
and carried by brides from the
earliest times, as they portend luck
and happiness. Spenser ard Milton
were of the opinion that the orange
was the golden apple presented to
Jupiter by Juno on her wedding
day. 1t was customary for the
Anglo-Saxon bride to give her
friends small knots and ribbons to
wear or carry on the wedding day.
This custom still survives in the
bouquet of the bridesmaids.

Emeralds Not Spanish

Fine emeralds are frequently al
luded to as Spanish emeralds, CIV
ing the natural impression that
Spain was the source of these very
fine gems. In point of fact there
are no emerald mines in the Span
ish peninsula. and there never have
been. But there were great guam
titles of emeralds kept as orna-
mental trinkets by the natives Of
Peru at the time of the Spanish
conquest, and like almost every
thing else of value there, they soon
found their way into the hands of
the Spanish nobility. For many
years, therefore, the finest specl-
mems of emeralds were in Spain,
and hence the term, Spanish emer-
aids, was guarantee, presumably,
Of fine quality.

are transmutation glazes embracing
type of f1ambe color. These glazes
differ from red to delicate pink,
which is peachblow.
Peachblow products have realized
prize amounts in salesrooms, and
many of these pieces are exhibited

made in King-te-Chin and was con-
sidered as a perfect example Of

Caring for Plants

One woman who has excellent
results starts her seeds in shallow
cigar boxes in the house. This en-
ables her to put them in the ground
without disturbing the plants. She
just breaks away the sides of the
box from the soil and slips the
bottom off with a knife. She does
this when the plants are about two
inches high. AS the roots are not
disturbed the growth of the plants
is not interfered with and the
plants do not lose their vitality.
Then when they have attained a
higher growth and are stronger she
thins them out and being accus-
toned to this soil they continue to
thrive.

Health and Happiness
Too Lightly Regarded?

Despite the great mergers and
international financing so common
today, the gentle art of proper
healthy, lengthy and joyful living
remains the biggest business on
earth, John Clarence Fung declares
in Hygeia Magazine, in an article
directed to business men.
Many men of affairs display In
telligent interest in their health,
but there are hundreds who mag
Inc that they enjoy a privileged
immunity against the fnfractions of
fundamental living habits. One
finds bed manufacturers who use
beds as little as anybody; produc-
ers of health foods who regularly
eat anything and everything until
their capacity fails; jobberS of GYM
nasium equipment whose personal
experience is limited to an infre-
quent stroll over a golf course; and
resort hotel men whose fresh air
is obtained only when they retire
at night, this health worker
charges.
Too much food, too little exercise
and too little sleep are constantly
taking their toll from prosperous
business men. Heart disease, can
Ger and diabetes attack stagger-
ing number.
This situation could be changed
overnight, Doctor Funk insists, if
business men would use the simple
expedient of having annual phys
ical examinations. Early diagnosis
is the secret in combating many
conditions that insidiously gain
Roadway.
