BY JAMES STEVENS.

DETROIT, February 27.-When sheep
herderS, COW puncherS and lumber Jacks
of ancient Greece sat at their camp
fires and told tall tales about a mighty
man named Hercules. it is doubtful if
they had any suspicion that poets would
steal their stories for literature. But
thus 1t happened, and the poets made
the name of Hercules immortal, while
readers forget that plain folks invented
the character
Our American Hercules. the Paul
Bunyan of the North Woods, is threat
ened with a like fate The hero of
countless tall tales told by woodsmen
for 70 years, Mr.. Bunyan, like Mr.. Her
cules, has fallen into the hands Of the
poets and professors. Whether the
American mythical hero will find a
modern Homer remains to be seen.
limitations Attempted.
Mr. Bunyan, as the more reverent
lumberjacks refer to the hero, is the
one full-bodied figure of American
myth. John Henry, Pecos Bill, Tony
Beaver, Strap Buckner and other such
giants who appear in American tall
tales are obviously limitations of the
mighty Mr.. Bunyan. He alone has an
era of his own, for the tales tell that
he f1ourished here even before the In
dams. He had giants working for him.
Babe, the blue OK, who measured AZ
aX-handles and plug of chewing TO-
bacco between the horns; Hels Helson.
the big Swede, who muddied the Mis-
souri, River forever with one Spring
bath; Johnny Inkslinger, giant of fig

who had cannon balls for eyes; Joe
Lamufraw, who was half bear and half
tree and countless host of little lum-
berjackS not a one measuring more
than seven feet from gallus to gallus.
Stories about Mr.. Bunyan and his
mates have been told by American
lumberjacks since the Sos They were
first heard in the Saginaw Valley of
Michigan, with the rise of numbering
in the pineries there. Evidently the
myth was originated by the Irish
This IS the opinion of the Oldest
authorities among the woodsmen. The
stories were borne on to the West from
Michigan, and now their home is in
the great forests of the Pacific Coast.
Many Wisconsin woodsmen claim the
Badger State as Mr.. Bunyan's starting
place, but they argue from sentiment
rather than evidence.
Gives Typical Story.
Here is the outline of a typical
Sunyan story:
1t was in the Spring of the reverse
rain that Paul Bunyan tanned the big
Anger River. This river was young and
wild, and when Mr.. Bunyan got ready

to drive his logs down 1t, what did the

to drive his logs down 1t, what did the
river do but launch out Of its bed and
spit 70 barrels of water into his eye!
Mr.. Bunyan saw that the big Anger
would be tough to tame. The river had
a queer way Of flowing, twisting in its
rock bed just like giant auger, throw
ing up rock shavings in its banks. and
so earning its name. Mr.. Bunyan vowed
to untwist the river So he uprooted
seven hard rock hills, heaved them
into the big Auger's bed, and damned
the river. Then Mr.. Bunyan tried to
gentle the stream by petting it dozen
times a day, reaching down with his
big hands and stroking the rivers back,
and speaking kind words.
At last the river seemed to be tanned.
1t foamed and twisted no more behind
the dam. Actually, however, it had
found a crack in the dam and was only
waiting for Mr. Bunyan to leave it for
a night THIS happened
All night the big auger bored through
the crack. and at dawn it was free
river, 10 times stronger than before. SO
Paul Bunyan went into battle with the
river, leaping astrioe the stream, get
ting a stranglehold with his arms and
a scissors-hold with his legs. For hours
the furious fight lasted. until at last
the river bumped itself up to the clouds,
trying to buck Mr.. Bunyan of. But he
threw all Of his strength into one final
furious fighting effort, and the irresisti-
bic grip of his legs and arms broke the
big auger's back. The river collapsed
in two broken parts, which lay like a
pair of twin lakes for three DAYS. then
joined and flowed on, a river tanned to
log driving.
Left Niagara Falls.
When the big auger bored through
the dam of rock. hills was left grand
waterfall. Mr.. Bunyan named it Mag
area. And whoever doesn't believe this
story can go and see Niagara Falls to
this day
Any one who hears the tales cannot
help but agree that Mr.. Bunyan of
America was a far mightier man than
Mr.. Hercules Of Greece

or the too slow movement of waste food
matter. This waste matter stays in the
bowels too long, ferments and forms gas
and poisons.
DR.. Carl Weschcke, in his private
practice, first perfected the intestinal
cleanser and prophylactic now known
as Adlerika. 1t is a compound of a sa-
line intestinal eudcuaEt found in many
famous health springs of Germany,
with the vegetable bowel tontcs cascara
and buckthorn and other important in
gradients. Most remedies act on lower
bowel only, but Adlerika acts on BOTH

ZimbaIist Given
Ovation at
Symphony

The fifth concert given in Con-
stitution Hall yesterday by the
National Symphony Orchestra was
a delightful and splendidly per-
formed program of which Hans
Kinder, the orchestra's popular
conductor, may well be proud.
Efrem ZimbaliSt, celebrated
Russian violinist and composer,
vas the soloist of the afternoon
and selected Glazounov's violin
concerto for his one number.
This was Washington's first op-
portunity to hear the concerto,
and the unusual theme, played in
Zimbalist's inspired and effortless
style, called forth vociferous ap-
plauSe. Due doubtless to the
length of the concerto no encores
were given, although the audience
continued to applaud for several
minutes:
"Romeo and Juliet" Tchaikov-
sky's fantasy-overture, as played
by the orchestra shared the
honors of the afternoon with
Zimbalist.
The concert, which opened d
with BaCh's Suite in B minor,
was concluded with two Schu-
bert selectionS-the ballet music
from "Rosamunde" and "Marche
Militaire." These last two charm.
ingly staccato numbers gave the
necessary fillip to the program
and sent the audience away sat
isfied with what could certainly
be called well-balanced musical

For Shut-Ins

A "shut-in" down in Alabamy
has an idea that a regular radio
program for all the shutinS in
the country would be a boon to
the thousands of invalids whose
days and nights seem dreary. He
would like to hear from the shut
ms themselves as to what kind
of a program they'd like to hear,
for, he says, he has chance to
get it on the air. He writes:
Dear Mr.. BigelOw:
81 would like to reach shut
ins and get their idea of a
15-minute radio program for
inVaIids. Being an Invalid my

would sweeten many a dispOsi-

 Getting back to the Victorians, the treatment of types and scenes of the era is refreshing. This trend in Christmas cards is a re- flection of style trends in furni- ture clothing-and what have you.
 Take Sly PCkes
 Recent years have been so full of the zig-zags, contortions aid distortions of modernists that the pretty sentiments and eonserva- tlsm of those dim days are nov city indeed. Of course there are some cards that take sly pokes at the Victorians, for those who want to follow a style but make their friends snicker as well.
 Pet lovers must have their ami nal cards, as there is an abund- ance ef these, both quaint and modern in treatment. And those queer little penguins, who have wobbled their way into such popu- larity in all manner of decorative art will go through the mails or many a Christmas greeting this year ~ @sa--s-t
 Those who want to be ritzy have plenty of opportunity, and the costlier cards are not so costly as

NEW YORK, Dec. 17-To believe novelty without extravagance-that is the thing most of the Christmas card designers strove for this year. And glance around the shops shows that they have pretty well succeeded.
 Novelty" in Christmas cards permits a wide range-into the past as well as the futre. The big idea is to get away from last years designs and the years be- fore that. But go back to the Victorian age for suggestiong and the field is as fertile for novelty as the odd little creations of the reckless modernists.
 Mere Depression Cards
 That old bogey, the Depression, still insures a number of tricky cards. The spirit of these is spool ing satirical They gain effect from materials as well as design Some of them are printed on wrap ping paper, wall paper and paper bags.

Once more Jean read through the letter which had arrived to find her in a mood of despond- ency most unusual Like a gleam Of sunshine, it had frightened the gloomy prospect of a Christmas away from home To be sure, living with ones step-aunt didn't make much of a home, but even that was better than the deserted campus.

NEW PLAN FOR THE
DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPLIES

A new plan for distributing the
paper and pencil supplies for the
high school was installed last Morn
day. The scratch paper may still
be obtained at the teachers desks
in the various rooms, but ink pa
per is given out at the office once
q month to students who have
paid their dollar deposit.
The. notebooks will be sand1ed
the same way, being given out
only once a month. The paper for
the school is gotten for about one
third the cost if bought at a re-
tail price. Ink is obtained for fiji
ty times less than at retail. The
new plan will cut down on ex-
penses a great deal, Superintend-
emf Hodge stated Monday, the idea
being that the student will take
better care of a stock Of paper UNI
der his own supervision than he
will Of an unlimited supply in the
teachers desk.
