ELEPHANT.

ELEPHANT.
"vEN In ancient days. elephants
| - were trained to perform in cir
cuses. The Romans taught
IL them to walk slack rope. write
letters, dance to music and
other tricks. It Is said that the En-
peror Darius was the first to use them
in battle. They were employed in the
many clashes with Alexander the Great,
and for nearly three hundred years
they were used in Europe in the non
stop" war waged by the various nations
for supremacy.
In India and Africa, the elephants
are descended from those much larger
animals that roamed Siberia thousands
Of years ago. Specimens have been
found in Siberian ice that have been
incased for thousands of years and are
well preserved, showing what mammoth
creatures they were. Today, the ele-
phant Is our largest animal.
The African elephant is hunted for
his ivory tusks. These creatures are
quite different from the Indian ele-
phant. The ears are larger and more
flappy. The skin is darker, the body
less symmetrical, and the legs are
longer. The head is much f1atter and
the trunk thinner. You can identify
them in this way.
A full-grown elephant is massive
creature He weighs all of 5000
pounds and his body is 9 feet long
The tail is more feet and the trunk
9. The Indian elephant has broad
browed head, set on thick, short
neck The powerful body on the pillar
like legs appears clumsy, but the animal
can show lot of speed when once 1t
gets started.
The trunk is the greatest asset. It
fills the place of hands, eyes, nose and
lower lip. In fact, it is more like the
hands of blind man in its efficiency.
At the Tip will be found sensitive
muscles which are capable of picking
up small pin and other objects. The
skin covering the whole body is dark
and leathery. The toes are so i'm
bedded in the foot that they do not
touch each other, they are supplied with
broad, fiat hoofs.
The cleverness of elephants is grossly
overrated. They are easily trained,
patient. obedient, slow to anger and
courageous. They have good memory,
stand much pain without f1inching, and
are timid about new objects.
At the age of 20, the elephant weds

an orphan baby, they will not admit
stranger into the circle very often.
A baby elephant is lovesome in
FAINT. True, he weighs 180 pounds at
birth, is 21s feet high and has soft,
wrtnkled skin covered with down, which
does not sound much like an attractive
baby. But he is always trying to peep
from under shaggy eyelashes and his
hazel eyes almost twinkle Long, black
hair on his forehead is an inheritance
from his primeval ancestors, which he
soon loses. His trunk is not much
use to him in his infancy. He nurses
his mother with his mouth and not
with his trunk, as many folks suppose.
He hides under his mothers body, or
thinks he does, and plays hide-and-
seek between her legs. Her gait is i'm
peded and she hauls him out.
He learns that his beloved parent Is

old Mother Nature.

<<THIEFi ROBBERY" snarled
IS Shadow the Weasel, his lit
tie eyes glowing red with
i rage as he tugged at dead
hen, trying to drag 1t back
under pile of brush.
Thief and robber yourself!" snapped
Mrs. Reddy Fox, springing at Shadow
a second time. AS before, he wasn't
there when she landed, but before she
could turn around was boldly tugg1ng
at that hen from the other side.
'eI found it. 1t is mine by right OF
finding it." snarled Shadow.
ST caught and killed it and hid 1t
under this brush," retorted Mrs. Reddy,
vainly springing at him again. Even
II I hadn't 1t would be mine, for you
know well that the law OF the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows Is that
what any one can take is his so long as
he can hold it."
"You haven't taken this yet" snarled
Shadow, getting new hold on the hen
and tugging with all his strength. I'm
not afraid of YOU"
This was open defiance and the
queer thing about it was that 1t was
true. Shadow wasn't afraid, small as
he was in comparison with Mrs. Reddy.
Beside him she was giant. Yes, sir,
she was giant. He knew that one
snap of those sharp teeth Of hers would
be the end of him. Still he wasn't
afraid. There isn't drop of cowardly
blood In that small body Of Shadows.
You see, he knew that quick as Mrs.
Reddy is in her movements he Is
quicker. Then, too, there was that pile
of brush close at hand He was so
small that he could dart into and un-
der and through it with ease while Mrs.
Reddy was far too big to follow him.
It was veritable castle to Shadow.
He Enew, too, that in the end Mrs.
Reddy would walk of with that hen.
He couldn't fight her. He wouldn't
have a ghost of a chance If he tried
that. But he didn't intend to try. He
intended merely to hold on to his prize
as long as he could. So each time Mrs.
Reddy drove him away he lodged and
was back at that hen before she could
turn around And all the time he kept
snarling that that hen was his.
At last Mrs. Reddy had dragged the
hen with Shadow clinging to it several
feet from the pile of brush. If she
could get him far enough out in the
open, away from that brush, she might
catch him. SO instead of trying to drive
him away she continued to drag the
hen, with Shadow hanging on and do
ing his small best to pull the other way,
and it was surprising how much
strength such little fellow had.

REICHSTAG QUIZ
Parliament System Suffers
Latest Blow Through
Aid of Hitler.
BY FREDERICK KUN,
United Press Stan Corresnondcnt

BERLIN, Feb. 7.-NaA members
OF the reichstag permanent COM
mittee for safeguarding parliament's
right broke up a meeting Of the
committee today after Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's legal expert, Hans
Frank, delivered a TRADE against
Jews.
The committee adjourned indefin-
itcly, and was not expected to meet
again, because of fear of violence
between Nazls and other members
The adjournment marked the end
Of parliaments efforts to investi-
gate alleged scandals in connection
with agricultural relief, and deprived
parliament Of one of it's few re-
naming guarantees.
TRADE Against Socialists
In dealing the latest blow to the
emaciated form of the German par
lament system, the Nazis refused to
meet under the chairmanshhip of
PCul LOebe, refund and jovial Social
ist leader.
Franks anti-Semitic TRADE did not
apply to Loebe, who is a Gentle,
but was directed against the Social
list party which has many Jewish
members.
The committee met today to con-
tinue its investigation into the al
legged misrepresentation of govern
ment funds in meeting the fnan-
cial wishes Of big land owners of
eastern Germany.
Session Is Broken Up
In the last election campaign,
LOobe referred to Hitler in a speech
in the state of Lippe as Adolf, the
Slovak with bloody fingers" He
referred to report that Hitler is of
SlOvakian origin, which Hitler
branded as Slanderous.
Frank quoted from LOeb's speech
and announced that the Nazis would
net meet under his craftsmanship.
Loebe left the speakers chair amid
an uproar, automatically adjourning
