REACHES RUN PLAN
GETS DARLING AID
Biological Survey Chief to
Help Get "PIanting" of
Migratory Birds.

Jay N. Darling. the famous cartoonist
who heads the Biological Survey, is
going to assist the National Parks
Service in securing ducks and geese
to be used to attract the migratory
birds of Reaches Run on the Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway.
Darling offered today to instruct
his field officers to ship to Washing
toa suitable specimens, taken when
they can be trapped. C. Marshall
Finnan. superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital Parks. is interested in
development of the bird sanctuary at
Reaches Run, work in which the
Civilian Conservation Corps is CO.
operating.
Explaining he is desirous Of making
the bird sanctuary at Reaches Run
popular, Darling said the Biological
Survey will endeavor to place there
such native birds as will do well in this
climate.
The Biological Survey chief objects
to the use of the word "decoy' in
designating the ducks and geese to
be put at Reaches Run. From other
sources, however. it was learned Off
cials proposed to clip the wings of
the captured birds that will be put
at Reaches Run SO they will attract
other birds flying overhead.
Officials of the National Capital
parks are conserving the wild celery
and other native food upon which the
migratory birds feed. Darling ex-
planned that when the birds flying
aloft see others of their kind feeding
in the marshes they will swoop down
to join the cafeteria"
Just how soon the ducks and geese
will be sent here is uncertain. While
the figure of 80 geese has been men,

certain just how many can be secured

HUNGAR|ANS PLAN
TO ATTEND FETE
Hundreds From America to
Go to Budapest for st.
Stephens Day.

Hundreds Of Hungarians and Amer
leans of Hungarian descent are plan
ming to go TO Budapest for the cele-
bration of st. Stephens day Septem-
Der 2, travel agencies report.
st. Stephens day is set aside by the
Hungarian government and the
Catholic Church in honor of the Hun
garian King who became saint. 1t
is a national holiday second to none
in the country's list of festivals. civic
or religious. Many cities arrange
pageants that are gorgeous in their
arrangement of floats and the cos
TUNES and banners that vividly color
the numerous professions.
The story of st. Stephens day goes
back to the tenth century. Geysa,
fourth Duke of Hungary. was with his
wife, converted to the Catholic faith
and saw in a vision the Martyr st.
Stephen, who told him he would have
a son to continue the work ended
when the martyr was stoned to death
The son was born AID. GIT and re-
ceived the name of Stephen. He
was carefully educated and succeeded
his father at an early age. He began
to root out idolatry, suppressed re-
bellion of his pagan subjects and
founded churches and monasteries all
over the land
He sent to Pope Sylvester. begging
him to appoint bishops to the ii sees
he had endowed, and to bestow on
him. for the greater success of his
work, the title of King. The Pope
granted his requests, saying that he
regarded him as a true apostle of the
people.

MIDGETS STUDIED
AT CHICAGO FAIR
speciaI Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 2I.-Dr. c. w. Du-
pertuis of Harvard University, director
of the anthropometric laboratory in
the Hall of Social Science at the
Worlds Fair, who is conducting a
racial study of American people this
Summer In conjunction with DIR. H. H.
Laughlin, director of the eugenics
department of Carnegie Institute, has
moved his scientific instruments into
the Midget city in furtherance of his
research.
DR.. Dupertuis is particularly inter-
ested in the anthropometric measure
ments of midgets, since this is the
first time it has been possible to OBJ
tain data Of this nature on a large
group of the little people. His quest
is directed chiefly to the compilation
of body and head proportions and also
the racial aspects of midgets COM
pared to those of fully developed
adult types.
The investigation conducted by DR..
Laughlin is primarily a genetic study,
tracing the ancestry and backgrounds
of the midgets to determine how many
in families are midgets and how many
are fully grown. These scientists seek
to ascertain the weight of midgets at
birth and what age they attained
when they stopped growing.
Eventually DR.. Dupertuis' measure
ments and DR.. Laughlin's obServa-
tions will be correlated in a study of
this group of midgets.
DR.. Dupertuis employed an anth-
rometer which registers height and
breadth measurements of the body
and he used sliding and spreading
calipers for taking the head proper
tions.

SWISS ART SHOWN
AT FAIR EXHIBITS
ia Suisse Picturesque"
Revives Memories of
Traveller.

la Suisse Picturesque" as the
Swiss village in the Century of Prog
ress Exposition at Chicago is appro-
priately called, has already become a
favorite attraction with visitors. For
those who know Switzerland. its
scenery and displays will recall pleas
ant memories. and those who are still
looking forward to q Swiss trip will
more than ever hope for an early full
fiIlment of their dreams.
Nesting at the foot Of the Alps,
which are reproduced to an extent of
over 200 feet, the village features the
Kramgasse in Berne as "the most
beautiful street in Europe" A replica
of the zeitglockenturm, already a
Landmark of the federal capital in the
thirteenth century, marks the en-
trance, and a clock with mechanism,
featuring a king, rooster and a pro-
cession of bears, like the famous origi-
nal, provides entertainment whenever
the clock strikes.
Fascinating also is the duplication
Of the bear pit, in which two bears
especially imported from the historic
dens in Berne disport themselves in
comical fashion. Begging and dancing
for carrots and other available dainties
is an everlasting diversion Of these
beasts, who respond very promptly If
spoken to in Bernese dialect. Two
handsome st. Bernard dogs which
wander about the village in friendly
fashion are another attraction.
Choice specimens of medieval art
and architecture from Berne, Lucerne,
Zurich, the Swiss National Museum,
etc, are shown. and among these are
replicas of the Lion of Lucerne and
the Charlemagne Memorial in Zurich.

AS it is fairly late in the potato
harvesting season. you might miss one
of the greatest sights In that rich
agricultural country - the Saturday
iamboree of the colored potato pick
ers. Each year no less than 5000 Of
them-men and Women-Come to the
lower end of the Shore to work in
the potato fields. They begin work
as early at 3 am, and before the
heat of the day they have the po-
tatoes safely in barrels. They work
hard all week, but Saturday is their
day.
They descend in droves upon East
vile. and they bring in from the
fields with them a good humor that
is contagious They fairly fill the
little streets of Eastville as they go
about greeting their friends, singing
old melodies in a tempo and key that
other races can only strive to imi-
tate. Several guitars show up in the
jam of men and women, and the
music that comes from dusky fingers
on the taut strings is of the old
South. Invariably the crowds have
an exceptional dancer or two. and
rhythmic feet beat the dust of the
Shore.
Industry Suffers Blow.
And there on the porch it's potatoes
you'll talk about, and you'll hear that
the potato world of the Eastern Shore
of Virginia has been staggered this
year by an oddity it couldn't antici-
pate. The farmers have been getting
low prices this year for their potatoes +;
some of them have been losing money,
as a matter of fact And they blame
the 'SmartneSs" Of North Carolina
cotton growers for their troubles. The
Carolina cotton men. they tell you.
were paid by the Government to plow
under much of their cotton acreage
in line with the administration pro-
duction limitation. Then. having that
land open. the cotton men sought to
"outsmart" everybody else by plant
ing crop of potatoes. Well, the po-
tatoeS they grew were poor. because,
Eastern Shoremen say, 1T takes a bit
of special KNOWN to grow real pta-
toes like ours" But nevertheless, they
hit the market first and got much of
the early trade Eastern Shore growers
had traditionally.
So. when the Virginia Eastern
Shoreman tells you he's getting only
dollar barrel, appreciate what he
says by rejecting that he pays his
pickers 10 cents a barrel: that his
barrels cost him % cents each: that
hauling them from the field to the
train represents a cost of another 4
cents; that the commission man gets
Is cents a barrel for handling them
Besides. there's fertilizer to buy.

Those aged documents now are housed
in the court house on the west side

The records date from 1882, when the

2l-Many OF the people who come

beautiful garden known as the

which Queen Elizabeth of England
gave to the favored Earl Of Essex
three and a half centuries ago and
which was eventually lost in this

later.
1t will be remembered that the
famous ring contained a rose dia-

royal family.

Years later, according to the his
tory of the gem, King Charles l. in

Thomas Warner, the man who

When Sir Thomas Warner died in

which is still famous as the Hall. and
is still surrounded by its garden of
a little more than an acre.
During one of the many parties
given here by members of Sir
Thomas family the ring was lost
somewhere in the garden. Many
searches were made for it. much of
the earth in the fiower-strewn acre
being spaded over, but the ring was
never found.
Believed to Be Buried.
1t is believed that when the ring
fell it was stepped on and was thus
pressed into the earth. AS 1t was
never heard of again. Trinidadians
aver that it stin lies hidden some
where beneath the tropical soil which
surrounds the Hall.
Thousands of people-nativeS and
visitors-have searched for the beau
tiful diamond. In fact, no one ever
seems to walk through the grounds
without looking constantly down,
hoping for a CLINT of the lost stone.
Thus this pretty spot which now
rests in peace and solitude possesses
a legend which lends thrilling in
