Diver Hard to Shoot

The diver, commonly called the loon,
is of the most difficult birds to shoot.
It is an uncommonly fine diver, as Its
name indicates, and is an excellent
flyer as well. There Is the one bit of
sport to be had In hunting loon on
lake and that Is the uncertainty of
just what the bird will do. 1t may
rise off the water and seek less dam
gerous waters, or it may dive beneath
the surface and come up about several
hundred yards away. The direction,
too, is an uncertainty, for bird gives
no indication as he goes under the
water which way he will swim. The
loon is a solitary bird, usually never
more than one pair inhabiting small
body of water. The female usually
lays but two or three eggs during the
breeding season, and for that reason
the divers are not very numerous.

Beer in History

The scanty records of ancient Baby
Ion, going back to 100000 B. O.,
show that beer made from barley, and
from barley and spelt, was extensive
ly drunk there, even by laborers and
by women in the harem. 1t was used
in medicine in Babylon and Egypt,
and had spices and differing sub
stances added to It. In Abyssinia and
Nubia, Herodotus and Strabo both
wrote that the people lived on millet
and barley, whereof they also made
a beverage" Tactitus said that beer
was the usual drink of the Germans
and Pliny mentions the use of it in
Gaul and Spain. He also writes, "They
employ the foam which thickens upon
the surface as leaven"-probably the
first reference to beer yeast for bak-
ing purposes.

THE QUIET DAY

The air is strangely quiet,
The day is still, so still,
AS if it were waiting, tiptoe,
For what might come over the-hill.
From far comes the boats deep
whistle,
The hollow roar of a train,
Leaving an odd nostalgia
That is neither joy nor pain.
Sometimes few stray zeyphers
Come softly piping round,
Seeking new reeds and wind-harps
With weirdly plaintive sound.
The world is oh, so quiet,
AS if wistfully waiting in vain;
Does it bark for the pattering foot
steps
OF the wild, sweet elves of the rain
Una Rands.

Footprints Can Betray
Criminals to Experts

Criminals have learned to guard
against the finger-print experts; now
they must be careful that their foot
prints do not betray them. The Inn
preston of foot can tell the detec-
tive much.
He can identify a foot and Its cover
ing, and can recognize the man BY any
popularity In gait. He can tell
whether the criminal was standing up
right, walking, running or walking
backward.
Many extraordinary things have
been discovered during investigations
into this new method Of tracking
down criminals. It Is, for instance,
more usual to take longer strides with
the left leg than the right, though 1t Is
generally believed that the muscles Of
the right leg are stronger, and that
therefore the bigger stride is taken
with the right leg.
Fugitlves nearly always turn to the
right when trying to run away, and
in open spaces they run in circles
But this rule of turning to the right
holds good even when they are max
ing their escape along crowded streets
and daren't run! If a man walking
normally looks back he always pivots
on the foot opposite to the side he
turns his head.
If a man of average height walks
with short steps, he is countryman
used to meeting distractions In his
path. It is only the townsman used to
smooth roads who strides out.

MAN WHO CAUSED NOTED EDI-
TORIAL DIES AT "a

New York, June 1.-The man
who was the cause of that famous
editorial published in the old New
York Sun in. 1897 entitled "Is There
Santa Claus?" is dead.
He was DR.. Philip F. O'Hanlon,
well known in New York as dag
nostician and nerve specialist, who
died last night at his home Of
heart ailment. He was IA.
When DR.. O'Hanlon's daughter,
Virginia, now Mrs. L. v. Douglas,
asked her father the inevitable ques-
ton, SIS there a Santa Claus?" he
evaded the issue by suggesting that
she write a letter to the Sun. The
result was the editorial classic, writ
ten by Francis P. Church, and re-
published countless times In many
places since then.

COLORED MEN STOLE BRIDGE

Eight colored men, residents of
Abingdon, were found guilty in Har-
ford County Court, for larceny of a
lot of bridge iron which formerly
constituted the bridge at Calvary.
This bridge several years ago had
been washed away, but the commits
sioners had piled it up near Pouska' g
Mill, and, according to the testimony,
planned to use it for a bridge over
a smaller stream.
The iron was stolen and sold for
junk. Some clever sleuthing on the
part of the sheriff and his deputies
resulted in the arrest of eight alleged
participants, namely Percy Beasley,
William Braxton, the latters aunt,
Evelyn B. Walker, Charles Peaker,
Ellsworth Lee Clarence Osborn.
Solomon Peaker and Howard Norton.
Two others, John Henry Peaker and
James Osborn, were indicted along
with the others, but have not yet
been apprehended, and it is thought
they have fed the State.
The jury brought in general ver-
dict of guilty against <all eight de-
PENDANTS, with recommendation of
mercy. The court sentenced Evelyn
B. Walker, Percy Beasley and VIM.
Braxton to two years in the House
of Correction, and Chas. Peaker to
Ellsworth Lee, Clarence Osborn, Sol
ONION Peaker and Howard Norton to
one year in the House of Correction,
but suspended sentence on payment
of their proportion of the costs of
prosecution.

Ways to which babies may be kept
well and comfortable during the hot
weather are pointed out in the ac-
campaigning bulletin from the Bureau
Of Child Hygiene Of the Maryland
State Department of Health:
with the coming of hot weather,
mothers with little children begin
to think of the dread summer COM
plant which used to take a dreadful
toll of infant lives, among bottle-fed
babies each year. 1t Is now well
known that large part of this sick
ness is caused by germs getting into
the baby's food. On that account
every mother must be extremely
careful about cleanliness in handling
the food. Bottles and nipples should
be boiled before using. All milk
given to babies under year and half
old should be boiled for three min
utes IL an open pan Is used or for
twenty minutes In double boiler.
But even the most careful prepa-
rations are useless il flies are not
kept away from the milk and from
the baby also. Flies are disease
carriers. Kee pthe baby in a SCREEN
ed crib II possible II, in spite of all
this care, the baby develops diarrhea
or loose bowels, a doctor should be
called Immediately. The mother
who nurses her baby Is spared much
of this worry.
There are other things to remem-
Der about the care of the baby during
the hot weather. Every effort should
be made to keep the baby comfort
able. Dress the baby according to
the weather-if 1t is very hot put on
only diaper. Many mothers fear
that exposure Is dangerous, but get
ting the baby overheated from too
many clothes, is even worse. Spong-
ing the baby with tepid water on hot
days makes him more comfortable.
"There are two rashes which afr
lict babies in the summer: One from
heat and the other from the bites Of
insects. The heat rash is caused by
too much perspiration, particularly
In the folds of the skin. Insect bites
can be prevented IL the child Is kept
in a screened room or porch, or in
screened crib.
when it is very warm adults like
to drink more water. So do babies.
Give them cooled boiled water several
times a day. In very hot weather
babies and young children, like
grown-ups, have less appetite for
food. Don't force the baby, against
his will, to take more food than he
wants.
"There is no need for stopping cod
liver oil, tomato, or orange juice,
during the summer. At one time it
was thought that the oil caused diar-
rhea but we know now that germs
in the milk are generally RESPONSE
BILE.
"Sun baths should be given to
every baby but they must be done
ljudiciously. Start with 10 OF Is
minutes day and increase the time
gradually as the skin becomes tan
ned. Be very careful to protect the
baby's eyes from the sun.
"The precautions outlined above
are not hard to carry out. Follow
ing them will make the baby more
comfortable and may save his life."

entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of a friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to go to luncheon the follow

to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, Overhears the telephone con-
VersatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to lunch
with Clark, where, during the meal,
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
reopens her shop free from obliga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrying to
Verda with tickets for a prizefght,
is fired on with a machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's office
with a thinly-veiled accusal and a
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid in
fighting CraddOck, and finds that
his faction is on the eve of bitter
political struggle in which Grad
dock will be the OppositiOn's leader
among Negroes.
Clark and Verda decide to be
married at once, SO they might be
together during the bitter struggle
that is surely coming.
Clark opens an Office adjacent
to the all-important Jazz Hollow.
He is called upon there by a
stranger who offers to deliver the
Hollow to Clark's party on election
day for a certain sum of money.
Clark is amazed at the proposal.

low to check on Inky SanbOrn. The
spy reports raids by a strange
gang on some Of CraddOck's UNDER
