Science !
Salt in animals Is Doubted
As Evidence of Origin.

The saltiness of the blood Of present
day land animals constitutes question:
able evidence of their descent from
sea-dwelling invertebrates, Prof. w. j.
Dakin of the University OF Sidney re-
ports in Nature, London.
The amount of sodium chloride in
the blood of marine invertebrates is
very close to that present In sea water
For land animals the ratio changes
quite notably. This has been explained
on the assumption that the sea was by
no means So salty In the distant past
when their ancestors emerged to con-
quer the land.
Dakin checked this theory by a
chemical analysis of the blood Of a
newly discovered variety Of Australian
fresh water crab whose ancestors came
from the ocean only a few generations
ago. He found that its blood salinity
already was less than half that OF its
close relatives VINO are ocean jewellers.
The blood salinity, instead of remain
ing constant through countless genera
lions, evidently changes very rapidly
in response to a new environment
All that can be deduced from the
saltiness of the blood of land animals,
Dakin concludes, is that the beginning
of life itself probably took place in the
sea. T. r. H.

you are hereby notified that your
building permit is revoked, and that
no further construction on your prem

reason that clause in the permit, in

Betting on Horses Held Only
Hope of Saving Annual
Montgomery Event.
special pispaten to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 21.-The
last Rockville Fair has been held unless
permission to allow betting on horse
racing should be obtained. was the
opinion CT Clarence l.. Gilpin, presi-
dent of the Rockville Fair Association,
today in discussing the financial result
of the three-day fair which ended last
night.
At the beginning of the fair the as
ISOLATION was more than $4,000 in
debt, Mr.. Gilpin said, while the fair
this year is expected to result in a
deficit of $1,000 or more.
Mutuels Held Necessary.
I'VE have made a desperate effort
tor the past several years to make the
fair success" Mr. Gilpin stated, land
have come to the conclusion that money
cannot be made without revenue that
betting on race horses would produce
and the crowds that such betting would
draw"
The $4,000 deficit which was faced
before the present fair began is the
result of losses over 8 period of sew
eral years, it was stated. This $4,000
Is in the form of a mortgage on the
tair grounds and notes in various banks
Of the county.
Receipts Fall Short.
The fair opci atss on budget system,
Mr.. Gilpin &tated, which includes ell
expenses of the fair proper and inter-
est on the mortgage, interest on the
notes, insurance and other items. The
receipts this year did not meet that
budget, he said.
Asked what was the possibility OF Sc
curing permission to allow pari-mutuel
betting on the horse races. Mr.. Gilpin
said that there was little hope Cf it az
this time. The county circuit court has
been petitioned several times in the past
20 allow this, he said, and has turned 1t
down each time. A bill was also put
through the Legislature several years
ago to allow betting on the races at the
fair but it was vetoed by Gov. Richie.
End Of Fair Seen.
A final decision as to what will be
done will be made at the mseting CT the
board of directors of the fair association
which will probably be held next week
Mr.. Gilpin stated, but the fair seems
doomed.
other officials Of the fair association
yesterday afternoon were of practi-
cally the same opinion as Mr.. Gnpln.
Fhe lack Of better crowds and the lack
of money for better prizes was also at
tributed by them to the rule against
betting.

The study will be similar to a State
wide survey conducted last year, which

system Of taxation based on real estate
was dif1cult on farmers whose incomes,
derived almost entirely on returns from
their crops, varied greatly from year

tax conditions. To date, however, the

"CCARFACE AL" CAPONE, who
~ recently pleaded guilty to VIC
lating the income tax law, will not
be sentenced until July 80, because
business affairs" demand his atten-
ton.
The poor devil without business
affairs" gets no such indulgence.
In New Jersey they have diScov-
cred that though the law makes it
a crime to drive an automobile
while drunk, the person driving a
horse can get "pie-eyed" with i'm
punity.
Massachusetts, also has law
against driving automobiles while
drunk. Two men were arrested
under it the other day-one a car
owner and admittedly sober at the
time; the other a friend of his, who
was driving while admittedly drunk.
The driver was fined the usual
amount, while the car owner was
fined considerably more because, as
the judge put it, he should have
known better than to allow his
friend to get behind the wheel in
such condition.
