And %er Things

Among those who visited the

the Reverend and Mrs. Clayburne
are boosters for the paper. Boyd
Crawford came and said hello and
made the cash register ring as did
James W. (Slim) Ellis of IT w.
goth Street. His side-kick, Edward
Hayes buys a copy of the paper
every week over the office counter.
When we look over our SUBJ

of the Negro community in parti-

Magma Charta Signed by
King Johns Royal Mark

Every schoolboy knows that
Magma Charta was signed by King
John at Runnymede on June 18th,
1915, observes a writer in London
Answers Magazine.
But every schoolboy happens to
be wrong! Magma Charta was never
signed at all-for the very good
reason that King John was quite
unable to write even his own name.
In this he was not alone. Most of
the British rulers of that time-and
those on the Continent, for that mat
ter-were ignorant of the use OF
a pen.
And so Magma Charta bore at the
foot an apparently meaningless
mark which was called, perhaps to
the secret delight of his Majesty,
''the royal signature"
However, the barons made sure
that there were plenty of witnesses
to the signing and John would
never have dared to repudiate his
mark.
Only fragments of the original
Charta remain, most of it having
been destroyed by fire 200 years
ago.

Judge Robert Peter
Buried On Wednesday

Continued from page y
in the history of the State His
father, George Peter, was president
of the Maryland Senate in 1888. His
grandfather, Maj. George Peter, was
U. S. Representative from Maryland
and his great-grandfather was the
first mayor of Georgetown and re-
nowned in the accounts of the early
settling of the District of Columbia.
Judge Peter received his education
at the Rockville Academy, Hampden-
Sydney College and the National
University Law School. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1890.
From 1908, when he was elected
States Attorney for Montgomery
County, until 1907, he made hinlsell
record by cleaning up most no.
torious spot, the Conduit Road sec
ton, then a hot-bed of vice anc
gambling. He appealed directly tc
the Secretary of War and had the
territory placed under State contro
for brief period until matters were
Strengthened out.
From 1909 to 1911 he was chair
man of the Democratic State Central
Committee for Montgomery County
In 1923, after a remarkable record
as lawyer, he was appointed tt
serve on the bench of the Circuit
Court, a position which he held fol
nine years. He resigned in 1928 be.
cause Of ill health. During his tern
on the bench, out of huge number
of decisions handed down by the su
preme court, only three were revers
ed. Judge Peter was considered al
authority on Jurisprudence and hi
advice was often sought in matters
Involving legal technicalities.
Judge Peter married H elen Q
Lowry, daughter of the late Maj, Il
B. Lowry, of the United States Ma
rine Corps. She died several year
ago. He is survived by one son

An Unknown Hero

For Is years the greatest and the
least of men who have visited the
National Capital have paid reverent
tribute to the memory of an unidenti-
fed hero who lies in a simple tomb on
the hills of Arlington National Gene
terry. On next Wednesday this hero.
the Unknown Soldier, will again be
paid the honor due those whose spirit
lives on in world that is not always
forgetful.
Behind the Armistice day observ-
ance at Arlington there is dramatic
story of how the body of the I'm
known Soldier was selected and
brought to it's present resting place
That story will be told, as fitting
prelude tc Armistice day celebration
in The Sunday Star, November 8.

Hermit Crab Uses Wits
to Foil Deep Sea Foes

BY the help of his wits, the
hermit crab manages to lead a
fairly comfortable life. But he does
need wits, or some lowly substitute
for them, for the hermit crab would
be easy meat for his enemies were
it not that he is rather willy fellow
who makes the best of whatever
opportunities he finds.
One of these opportunities, OBJ
serves a writer in the Washington
Star, is offered by the discarded
shells of sea snails. Lacking any
sort of substantial home of his own,
the hermit crab moves into any
empty shell he can find and stays III
the snug little stolen house all the
rest of his days. 1t is easie'' than
building his own house-though the
chance of finding one left vacant by
the death of the snail is always
something of risk.
But that isn't the only trick of the
hermit crab. The odd creature has
genius for friendship-or at least
for one kind of friendship. He otter
makes a lifelong bargain with the
sea anemone,O an animal which
looks like a flower, but which is
really poisonous deep-sea crea-
ture. The crab invites the anemone
to grow on top of its borrowed shell
house. And sometimes it invites two
or three or more anemones toftaks
up their quarters there.
The arrangement is of great ad
vantage to both the sea anemone
and the crab, as are many similar
partnerships in the animal world
The anemone, which has little
waving tentacles on top of its long,
hollow body, gathers in bits OF 1000
which the crab misses. And, beng
unable to move about very quickly,
it very much prefers the free rides
offered by the hermit crabs Dor
rowed shell to the slow, unsatlstac-
tory pace which it manages by it
self.
For the hermit crab, on the other
hand, the anemone is perfect cam
outage. No enemy would ever sus-
pect the presence of a delicious
crab below and the disguise more
than pays for the labor Of carrying
the anemone.

Maker of Strad Yiolins

Stradivarius died at the age of
ninety three. He was born in
Cremona in 1914 and was first a
violin player. He came of a wealthy
family, had considerable means of
his own, and eventually decided to
improve upon the violins of his
master, Amati. He spent the years
between 1868 and 1886 in selecting
the best wood. From 1886 to 1894, he
experimental with a violin which
had a fiatter arch and was much
larger than former models. Between
1895 and TIA, says Golfers Weekly,
he perfected the model which has
never been equaled. Stradivarius
was a rapid workman and is said to
have finished violin a week. That
would mean approximately three
thousand Strads over his active
career of nearly sixty years, but
there are fewer than two hundred
and fifty known Strads in existence.
