pEOPLE often speak Of donkeys as


dull or foolish, and the charge
is partly true-at least from our view
point. The animals are likely to be
stubborn about crossing stream, for
example, even though the stream may
be only about foot deep.
The cousins of the donkeys are not
dull, however. They are the wild
asses of Arabia, Persia, Tibet and
other parts of Asia, as well as Of
Abyssinia in Northern Africa.
Wild donkeys have longer legs than
those which are tame. They are said
and have been known to run faster
than horses. They are shy and it is
hard for a hunter to get near them.
Their coats are composed of glossy
faWn-colored hair.
Eating prickly thorn, bitter grass
and other herbage, a herd of wild
asses will roam over the desert, going
southwark in the Winter. Hunters
may capture young animals after
shooting or driving away the mothers.
A large piece Of tent cloth is used
to cover young ones at the time of
capture, for they are almost sure to
try to bite or kick persons who come
to pick them up.
Donkeys were tanned thousands of
years ago and were set to work as
beasts of burden. It is not known
where the tanning was done first, but
pictures of people in ancient Egypt
show them riding donkeys and using
them for farm work.

Is to remove them root and all from

see them. But this is o very difficult
task and calls for cooperation. To

would also mean the trampling of
the wheat.
Care, OF course, Is now being taken
to sift all seeds and the foreign ones
removed. The invaders have an
appealing blossom and to flower lovers
and even to their victims they have
q way Of making bright spots where
they look lovely indeed. But we must
do our duty and remove them from
the fields and also from places where
the many seeds can be carried by
the wind or birds to the spots where
we wish to keep free. In this way
the wild flower children that are so
unwelcome in our wheat fields will
at least be kept where they can do no
harm.

THERE are several possible deriva-
tions for the name Hicks, so
those who bear this well known cog
nomen may have their choice. Some
authorities hold that Hicks was
name derived from the personal name
Hugh-"HickS, the son of Hugh"
They base their theory on the fact
Hugh was "Hig." Another well-mean-
ing but quite heartless historian says
that the name is taken from the
Dutch word "Hich," meaning SIM
pleton. However that may be, one FL
lis Hicks of England managed to be
knighted by the famous Edward, the
Black Prince, in 1856, thus becoming
Sir Ellis Hicks, a gentleman of quality
and the grantee of the coat Of arms
here shown.
There were several first settlers"
In America bearing this name during
the early days of colonization. John
Hicks, a resident of Newport, r. l., in
1889. was a collateral descendant of
Sir Ellis Hicks. He removed to Hemp
stead, L. T., where he became a prom
inent man in the affairs of the local
government under English rule. His
descendants likewise were influential
citizens in their State for many gen.
erations. Whitehead Hicks, a grand
son of the immigrant. was mayor of
New York City, 1766-76, and was aft
erward appointed judge of the Su-
preme Court Of the State. Elias Hicks
was an apostle Of the Society of
Friends.
Branches Of this family settled in
other parts of the country and many
Of them are traceable to the HickseS
of County Gloucester. England.

Uncle Rays Corner
The Donkey Family.

donkeys with very light or white coats
were set apart for the use Of the rich
or powerful, while common folk rode
on animals with brownish hair.
People in Europe observed a dark
stripe or band along the back of the
common donkey, with a cross-stripe
at the shoulders. and a legend arose
that the cross was due to Jesus hav-
ing ridden on the back of donkey.
1t seems that donkeys were not used
in England until the time of Queen
Elizabeth, but they were common to
Southern Europe before Columbus
sailed to the New World.
Cortez had donkeys with him when
he invaded Mexico, and other Span
iards used the animals as beasts of
burden when they explored southern
parts of the United States.
The sturdy "burro" OF the Rocky
Mountain region is member OF the
donkey family. The name is Spanish
and means donkey" Burros were not
native to the continent, but were
brought in by the whites. They are
sure-footed and have given much help
to people travelling through the
mountains.

TAMPA, Fla, Sept. 16. (UP)
The Florida canal is regarded
as an economic absurdity and a
potential calamity by South Flor
ida. The southern part of the
Peninsular state is bitterly oppos-
ed to what the U. S. Geological
survey calls "a big drainage
ditch"
Shipping interests have had lit
tie to say for the $146,OOO,OOo
project. Privately, many of the
steamship people have expressed
the opinion that the canal would
be of doubtful advantage. They
point out that the reduced speed
of vessels passing through the
canal would make the saving IN
time negligible. The difference
in distance between going through
the canal and going around the
state is not enough to offset the
necessary reduction in speed dur
ing passage through the canal
And as faster vessels are DullC'
the saving in time would further
decrease.
Shipping men also state that

ANXIETY OF LEAGUE
MEN INTENSIFIED

GENEVA, Sept. 16. (UP)-
Adolph Hitler's demand that the
league intervene to protect the
Memellanders from the Lithuan-
ians in Memel greatly intensified
anxiety of league representatives
of great and small powers.
Hitler's reference to intenven-
ton "before things take a turn
which will have to be regretted"
was interpreted by league of Off
Gals as an allusion to the acute
Italo-Ethiopian crisis.
Generally, Hitler was viewed
as having taken advantage of
league preoccupation to launch a
powerful demand in behalf OF
German interests.
Hitler's speech possibly was an
implied threat that unless Germ
any gets satisfaction, Hitler may
intervene forcibly in Memel while

CRUCIAL TEST SOON

GENEVA, Sept. 16.-(UP).-
The League of Nations will face
its greatest crisis this week.
Weekend developments in Cen
eva and Rome assure the vital test
within "a to 48 hours after the
league council meets Wednesday
to receive the report of its COM
mittee of five.
Premier Benito Mussolini's clear
rejection of compromise solu-
tions" made the desperate efforts
of the five-power subcommittee to
whip together peace proposals yes
terday scarcely more than a moe
kerry.
Nevertheless, certain forms are
necessary in order that the issue
between uncheckable Italian fas-
cism and the rising tide of league
opposition be clear cut.
It is on the issue of application
of economic and military sane
tons under the covenant that the
league faces it's vital test. The
covenant is clear on the point. If
Italy is allowed to gobble up Eth
opia, q league member, without
punishment, the Geneva collective
security structure will collapse
like a house of cards.
Britain, France and Russia-to-
pether with most of the minor
countries-have expressed them
selves verbally as supporting the
covenant-and the covenant pro-
vides for sanctions. Nevertheless,
concentrated study and negotlaa-
| tions is expected to precede den
mite commitment of any of these
nations on the specific question OF
sending league army to dlsarm
Mussolini.
