Danzig's Many Attractions

1t Is not an unusual thing in Europe
to visit a city just TO see a picture.
Many have gone TO Paris to see Mona
Lisa, or to Dresden to see Raphaels
Madonna. so great number of tour
lists go to Danzig to see Memlings
Last Judgment" in the famous and
huge Church OF st. Mary's In that
city. 1t is the one prize OF the city
and has had history wholly apart
from its artistic value. 1t was cap
tured at sea In 1475 and during the
Napoleonic wars the French captured
1t again, but it was returned In 1915,
and today it Is as much an honor to
Bruges in Belgium, Its first home, as
10 Italy, where it was first consigned
for the de'Medici.

Feline Traits Worthy
of Imitation by Man

Clarence Day, In his clever volume,
"This Simian World" once ventured
the speculation that II 1t had been the
feline genus that had evolved instead
Of the simians, ours would now be a
scarcely recognizable world, Don Cor
don writes In the Thinker.
The cats, he maintained, are quiet,
self-sufticient, unsocial. They are In
direct contrast to the dependent, vocif-
erous, gregarious simfans. A world
ruled by cats, or by genus evolved
from cats, would be calm, poised,
smooth-running affair, free from inces-
SAINT chatter and pickering
If they fought, 1t would be as indi-
viduals, not as droves. IF they spoke,
1t would be of necessity, not for
amusement or because Of an inability
to restrain speech. Each would go
his own way, think his own thoughts,
interfere as little as possible with
his fellow feline

Father Niles Overflow

The flooding of the Nile Is quite
regular. At Cairo, near the mouth Of
the river, the lowest level is In June
and the maximum level about the mid
die or end of September At Assouan
the lowest level Is In May and the
maximum at the beginning OF Septem-
Der. At Khartoum 1t Is lowest In
April and May and highest in August
and September. The Blue Nile and
Atbara tributaries are the source Of
the Nile food, the heaviest rains In
Abyssinia occurring from June to Sep
tember. According to the Encyclope-
dia Britannica: Reduced to Its sim
plest expression, the Nile system may
be said to consist of a great steady
flowing river fed by the rains of the
tropics, controlled by the existence of
a vast head reservoir (Lake Victoria), F.,
and annually flooded by the accession
Of great body of water with which its
eastern tributaries are flushed"

Great Personal Charm
in Sympathetic Voice

There Is magic In voices, though IL
it difficult to define the enchanting
note which thrills you In one person
and is absent when another speaks,
for q fascinating voice adds charm to
ordinary dialogue and the average
looks of average people, writes cor
respondent in the London Daily Ex-
press.
The best looking man on earth
stands less chance Of success II his
speaking voice just misses possessing
a certain timbre that has magnetic
quality about it. The same ruling ap-
plies to women.
The most beautiful woman's charm
Is lessened II her voice holds no inter-
est and leaves US unimpressed, and
unmoved either to laughter or sym
pathy, while an ordinary woman be-
comes almost beautiful IL she has a
charming way of speaking.
Some people only make converse
tion when they open their lips The
most intelligent dialogue sounds fiat
and spiritless If 1t is uttered without
the underlying sparkle Of personality
and the fragrance of human under
standing But other people make mu-
sic with half dozen words, an express
sion and a smile.
Perhaps the secret Of the voice that
makes friends is that 1t seems to be
speaking to you alone; taking you In
its confidence.
A sympathetic voice makes you feel
In tune with the whole world not al
ways by what is said, but by the lovely
way the words are spoken.

Popular Fur

Persian lamb is the commercial
name of the skin from young sheep Of a
variety whose native habitat Is Box
hara, Afghanistan and Persia. Persl-
an lamb is nearly always black, though
occasionally a gray or dark brown skin
appears. The best Persian lamb from
Bokhara IS silky and very tight in
curl. Caracul (also spelled karaku)
and astrakhan are two names for the
same fur This is taken from another
type of sheep which inhabits the re-
giOn in Central Asia around Tashkent,
and also farther east in China and
Mongolia. Tashkent caraculs have the
highest luster and the finest moire
markings. The color varies from
brown, black, brown and black, to
brown and white, and white.

Largest Suspension Bridge

After survey of similar structures
throughout the world, the National
Geographic society has stated that the
George Washington bridge across the
HMdson is the largest suspension
bridge in the world. With the longest
span Of $500 feet between supports,
it has no rivals among the suspension
bridges. The Ambassador bridge, con-
Meeting Detroit and Sandwich, Ont,
is second with central span Of 1850
feet 1t Is longer over all than the
Hudson bridge, however, as from en-
trance to exit 1t stretches 1900 feet,
compared to the George Washington's
$500 feet. The Philadelphia Camden
bridge has central span Of 1,75O feet,
with longer approaches, giving 1t an
overall of $500 feet.-Washingto

Oozes in Ocean Depth.

There is no generally adopted scien-
tific name for the various oozes that
are formed mainly from the calcareous
and siliceous remains Of plants and
animals which live in waters under
which the deposit is found. Various
oozes are recognized, the most wide
spread being globigerina ooze This
deposit consists of the shells OF Foram-
inifera, which live In the surface wa
ters. Diatom ooze is next In abun-
dance 1t is formed from the Slice
Gus remains Of diatoms, which occur in
enormous quantities In cold surface
waters. OF the sea bottom beyond the

by red clay, and 43 per cent by oozes
of the various kinds.

Laurel in Mythology

Mythology has it that Apollo wooed
Daphne, who, to escape him, had her
father, the river god Peneus, change
her into laurel tree. Whereupon
Apollo said to her: "Since you cannot
be my wife, you shall be my tree. l
will wear you for my crown; will
decorate you with my harp and my
culver; and when the great Roman
conquerors lead up the triumphal pomp
to the capital, you shall be woven into
wreaths for their brows. And. as eter-
nal youth Is mine, you also shall be
always green, and your leaf know no

"Pay Prevailing Wages or
Lose Jobs" Says Hoover

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-By the
terms of an executive order issued
by President Hoover, contractors do
ing government building must pay
the prevailing rate of wages or lose
their contracts.
The presidents order adds certain
stipulations for the payment of pre-
vailing wage rates in public building
contracts under the Davis Bacon act
of March 3, 1881, known as the pre-
vailing rate of wages act. The law
does not provide penalties for viola
ton of its provision, and organized
labor has geen working for amend
ments adding penalty clauses.

Historic Dueling Pistols

At the termination of the historic
duel between Stephen Decatur and
Commodore Barron, the pistols used
by both parties were taken possession
of by Capt. Jesse D. Elliott, U. S. n,
who had acted as second for Barron
He retained them until his death, in

they were owned in 1864, which is the

vides that if it should be found by the
contracting officer that any laborer or
mechanic has been or is being paid q
rate of wages less than the prevailing
rate of woges, the government may,
by written notice, terminate the con-
tractors right to proceed with the
job or such part of it in which there
has been failure to pay the prevail
ing rate of wages. The order further
provides in case the government takes
over the work that the contractor and
his suretors shall be liable to the gov
ernment for any excess cost occa-
stoned the government.
The order also provides that it is
expressly understood and agreed that
the wages shall be paid in full not
less than once week to the full
amount to each individual at time of
payment, without subsequent reduc-
tion or rebate on any account.
PayrOllS to BE open
The order further provides that
while performing the work of la
borer the mechanic is to be regarded
as laborer or mechanic regardless of
any contractural relation alleged to
exist between the contractor or the
laborer or mechanic. 1t further di-
rects that payrolls are to be opened
to inspection by the contracting
officer.
On learning of the presidents or
der, the Associated General Contrac-
tors of America, in annual convention
in Milwaukee, telegraphed Hoover,
asking him to suspend the order. The
telegram urged an amendment to the
Davis-Bacon act requiring the wages
which contractors must pay be speci-
fed previous to the advertising of
bids and further said: "We are
heartily in accord with your desire to
prevent any deduction or rebating of
wages paid labor. Punishment should
be proportionate to the offense, but
not by termination of the right to
continue at work"
