effect the development Of the skeleton.
At the South Dakota Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station an experiment designed
to develop . strain Of tailless sheep is
in progress. During the "a years In
which the work has been carried on
there has been developed through selec-
proportion of the lambs are born either
tailless or with very short tails Stimuli
taneously, the quality of the fleece has
been materially improved.
Thus far, it is reported. no effort has
been made to breed in this country the
remarkable fat-tailed sheep Of China
the fat of whose enormous tail is used
by the natives as q substitute for butter.
Up to date universal failure has attended
efforts to obtain q sheep-goat cross, but
the experiment is tried frequently be-
cause such an animal combining de-
sirable characters Of both parents might
have considerable value.
Cotton that would be brown or green
without any dye could be grown easily
enough II there were any demand for 1t.
Both brown and green fiber are found
as sports in upland cotton. The brown
is yellowish. or almost cream, in color.
The green Is bright and intense. The
plants with the colored fiber usually
breed true. which shows that they are
q stable combination or mutation. The
most probable explanation is that the
color is due to certain factors that have
existed in the heredity Of the plant since
1t grew in q wild state.
Buried in the inheritance of the corn
plant. whose exact ancestor Is unknown.
are hundreds of striking and unusual
characters, says the report. These char
acters have no economic value and some
of them are decidedly harmful. Such
is the character known as lazy" which
exists because OF . single factor in the
heredity. A plant that gets this factor
from both parents is unable to stand
on its feet after it is about half grown
and spends the rest of Its life lying
down.
One Of the unusual members of the
hax family is self-threshing. In this
variety the bolls open fully when they
are ripe and the seed falls to the ground.
If the plants are pulled and placed in q
bag as soon as the earliest bolls mature,
all the seed can be saved and the plants
do not have to be threshed. Unfortu-
nately, the yield Of this variety is only
about half that Of the best faxes.

little fellow brown and white. mostly
brown, with the white concentrated in
his well-known cotton tail.
He Ii taking no chances On the cat,
but crosses the garden in three leaps,
each one longer than the one before.
Willingly he would stay and eat Pc
tunia leaves, but this is the time for
Ai xht, not dinner. 70 he does not hnser.
Perhaps he will come nosing back
soon, his mouth Aquiver for petunias
These are his favorite food.
Even the birds are not out In force
today
Where do they stay, these birds, on the
days they DO not appear?
There can be little question that few
birds remain to sleep at the place they
have been all day. Especially Is this
true II they have been patronizing q
feeding station, serviced by some human
interested in the songsters.
Only the beginner will think they stick
around. roost in nearby trees or shrubs.
The truth il that they never do this.
Invariably toward evening they fly away.
Perhaps they do this to throw other
birds of the trail. They feel that they
have . secret treasure in the station
they have discovered and do not wish
to make 10 common. 80 they fly away
at night, to throw other birds of the
scent.
How far they 60 before settling down
10 sleep Is . problem. Many students
feel that they invariably sleep in ever
green's and that they may be found In
these, II anywhere. But We have never
found any In ours.
The day was 30 quiet that the careful
listener could almost fancy he heard
the goldfshes swimming in the pool.
That fishes come to recognize shapes,
and the sounds Of voices, there can be
little question.
A person who feeds them Ii soon
known to them. In almost all such
cases the feeder dresses in much the
same way all the time, and We are con-
vinced that 1t Is this outline which the
swimmers come to recognize.
However, q fish recognizes voice quail
ity: there can be little question that he
does 1t, provided it is the voice Of the
feeder. 1t will be realized that these
animals have no other bond Of COM
WIFI nuHAd1uty III IIlc ou1-
ject of food, however. their bond Is
strong. All living things want food. 1t
is the one thing they all understand.
A natural noise which broke the per-
feet silence Of this noiseless day was the
shrieking of the blue jays.
What wonderful birds they are!
Surely no one could mind their noise.
Nor could any one, not even the most
ardent bird friend. call IL singing!
The squawk Of the jay, usually at the
sight Of some enemy. is a familiar sound
in the suburban districts. I'VE do not
recall ever having seen . blue jay in
the city,
It is q natural sound, and therefore
has its place in nature. We see what it
is that distinguished this day. 1t was
that man. the imperfect. was out Of IT.,
as far as eye and ear could tell, leaving
it to nature again, as it was in the be-
ginning. Nor is man the spoiler, exact
ly. 1t is too much Of him that causes
the trouble. Yet when the world was
mostly trackless forest, and there were
just a few tribes, in comparison with
the mobs to come. there still was trouble
in the world, noise and trouble. So it
must be man.

described the successful operation else
where Of one-man cars, and pointed TO
the economies they make possible at
time when the company has spent large
sums in other new equipment, such as
busses, and In track changes. 1t based
its acquiescence with the company's
plans on study of three important ques-
tions affecting the street car nder:
Are the one-mAn cars Is safe rs two
man cars7 Are they as comfortable %
two-man cars? Are they capable Of as
much speed as two. man cars7 And with
the exception of the ANAL question,
where one-man cars were apparently
shown to be about . mile an hour slower,
the commission decided In the afdrma-
tive on the basis Of the testimony. 70
have denied the company the right 70
this type of equipment would have de-
manded the presentation Of facts which
the commission apparently did not have.
The proof Of the pudding is in the
eating. The continued existence of the
street car company in Washington, let
alone its ability to make money, depends
on gaining and holding sufficient
patronage. If one-man cars do not pro-
vide the convenience and comfort de-
manded by street car riders, the COM
pany will have bought . wooden nutmeg
and will lose more than It's investment
in the new equipment. The success Of
one-man cars. improved Is the company
has promised they will be improved. will
depend on the public. The Public Utili-
ties Commission, after examination OF
the facts, has passed the question on.

Up to the Riders.

The street car company's petition for
purchase, reconditioning and conversion
Of street cars for one-rnan operation was
granted by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion over the vigorous objection Of
Peoples Counsel Roberts and citizen
witnesses who appeared in opposition to
the petition. There has always existed
q sentiment in Washington against one
man street cars. The company's plans
were attacked by critics as an apparent
step backward.
The commission heard and studied q
large amount Of evidence On both sides.

culture are put In shackles to expert
mental theories Of management, when
revenue wrung from the taxpayers s
wasted IN boondogsling. when the cur
rency is debased and uncontrolled infia-
ton threatened. and when the poison
Of politics Is mixed IN the bread Of the
helpless"
Also, DR.. Bryan as an historian should
be familiar with the fact that Harding
was not exclusively 10 blame for reac-
tion. nor Coolidge for expansion, nor
Hoover for tie collapse which. occurred
when his rival. preaching revolution, was
victorious IN the battle Of 1882 and busi-
ness halted in terror at the prospect Of
the New Deal. Democratic, including
Mr.. Roosevelt both - q private citizen
and - Governor Of New York, were in
volved In the sins Of Gle period Of con-
fusion which followed the World War;
. House Of Representatives predomi-
nantly Democratic helped to bring on
the depression and . Democratic pub
hcity bureau labored tirelessly to smear"
the administration, which might have
saved the Nation untold loss and suffer-
ing had it been permitted to function.
But DR.. Bryan probably is correct In
his belief that independent liberals may
be shy Of some Of Mr.. Landons spon-
sors. They must be just about as hesi-
tant to shake hands with his liabilities"
a. they are to associate with Farley and
Morsenthau, Hopkins and Tugwell,
Hague and Prendersast and John L.
Lewis. Going below decks" TO '1isten
for the ship to ground" does not suit
them any better than going above decks
10 witness the spectacle Of the vessel
crashing on the rocks where the Com
munists are hopefully assembled to make
sure that the wreck is complete. They
cannot Join . Rightist opposition" but
neither can they indorse q Leftist trend
which. As Mr.. Roosevelt is subterrane-
ously reported to have limited to his most
intimate friends, will turn this country
upside down."
Yet the liberals plight Is not novel
Indeed, it is their customary lot. Inde-
pendents, walking in the middle OF the
road, invariably are hit by the trafic
running both ways. And they are espe-
cially unhappy if they pause to consider
DR.. Bryan's theory that the Democratic
party currently Is more faithful to tradi-
ton or sane" or consistent" than the
Republican party.
There Is one question, however, that
may supply the liberals with a key tc
the solution Of their troubles. 1t is this
Would they trust Mr.. Roosevelt to make
an appointment to the Supreme Court
II the answer be IN afirmat ative, they
should vote for him.
Evening star., 1936-09-24
Was last Sunday the worlds quietess

day7
Many will think %, a. they recall
the gloom and dri1zle, the few auto
mobiles which went BY the small num-
Der Of pedestrians.
Gut our way gardens were given over
entirely to the birds and squirrels.
Usually there are tasks to be done
by human hands, but not last Sunday.
The atmosphere was heavy, the air
dark, the light poor.
1t was better to stay indoors and
read, or listen to the radio, or do both
think they can.
Every one will wonder about these
people, who calmly read away. while
the radio is going full blast. Do they
really understand what they are read
ing? Do they actually hear the music7
One may suspect they are in the
same boat with the man with his favor
tte catalog. He knows every picture,
every article, every price. by heart. but
1t is always . pleasure to pick up the
volume and look 1t over. 1t is easy read
ing, In 4 very good sense. because one
really doesn't read at all, but merely
muse over the pages.
Such . gloomy day. cool and drizzly,
strikes the suburbanite the same way.
He does not wish to rush out some
where, but rejoices at the unusual
paucity Of cars and people.
Usually . few cars come along, but
today Just one, and not q single human
being.
There Is not q sound.
He might as well be living In the
trackless forest, so-called. although there
are plenty Of tracks, after all. as any
animal could tell you.
The only excitement that day was
when a police dog chased q cat.
1t was q very old cat, but well able
to give any dog the slip.
Crafty he led the way up . drive
way, then slid beneath q fence, leaving
the dog mystified.
BY the time the latter discovered
where he was the cat was up . tree,
classic refuge.
After that foray nothing happened at
all.
One could enjoy the silence.
Not every day. even In the quiet sub
urbs, is 1t As quiet As this.
One could stop and think about 1t,
every now and then. and enjoy it def
initely.
That is one Of the true ways Of en-
Toying life as you 60 along.
Stop and remind yourself. at the time
Of 4 happiness, that it is truly such.
Mere acceptance Of good things Is
not enough.
Too many people do that already. The
best way is to realize, and at the time,
or lust a little later.
Thus. it was well last Sunday TO
realize that it was an extra quiet day,
and to rejoice in that. If you loved quiet
But 1t is well now to think Of It, too,
and to rejoice all over again.
The modern world, with its noise. Is
not a natural world, but q built up, q
synthetic world.
Many get used to 1t and like 1t.
Others never get used to 1t, and never
like it, 1t is not built up for them.
They prefer the natural, rather than
the synthetic.
Looking out into the yard. on q super
quiet day. one sees the squirrels and
birds in their natural environment.
There is q small wild rabbit, too, a
