WISCONSIN DELEGATION
SHOWS MENAGERIE HERE

Some 500 Wisconsin Legionnaires.
returning from the national conven-
ton in New York, stopped of here
long enough to exhibit float con-
tanning quite menagerie.
There was, first of all, badger. en-
blem of the State. Other mascots
we're a porcupine. a fox, two white
tailed deer, a wolf and a raccoon.
They got along amicably, perhaps, be-
cause they occupied separate cages on
the truck.
The float also exhibited six small
aquariums containing pike and tiger
muskellunge from Wisconsin waters.
The Wisconsin Legionnaires made
quite an impression in the parade.
The only untoward episode occurred,
c. L. Coon. delegate, related. when
some one opened the badgers cage
and it made break for freedom down
Eighth avenue. But the creature was
caught after a short chase.

Hy the Associated Press
The National Park Service offered
its own explanation yesterday for
the painting of Washington Cross
ing the Delaware" in which it said
realism is completely lacking"
mo man in his senses, least Of all
the commander in chief of the Con-
tinental Armies, would stand erect in
an open boat while passage Of an
ice-jammed river was being nego-
tiated," a Park Service bulletin OBJ
served. But this was a circumstance
that no one appeared to consider
when Leutzes canvas appeared.
Nor did it reflect upon the artists
sense Of the fitness Of things that his
model for the Delaware River was
the German Rhine, which he could
Sc from the window of his studio"
In explanation, the Park Service
said
1T must be remembered that the
best schools of the early Victorian
period turned out work Of similar
trend, and that according to the
standards of his day Emanuel Leutze
was an artist at once renowned and
popular"

HURRICANE SEASON
SEES 3 STORMS
Critical Period Past, but
Threat Will Be Watched
Until November.
By the Associat ted Press.

6S tne ASsOClated Press.
The hurricane season passed its
peak with only three storms of gale
force recorded by the Weather Bureau.
Last year, the hurricane season pro-
duced II storms which came out Of
the tropics with force of more than
so miles an hour.
Charles L. Mitchell Washington
forecaster, cautioned, however, that
the period for tropical disturbances
has not passed. Not until November
will the Weather Bureau stop look
ing diligently for these storms, and
even then late conner may blow out
of the South Sea.
Only one of the three storms this
year actually hit the South Allan
tic Coast. On July 90, storm with
about a 50-mile wind struck the West
Florida Coast just north of Tampa
and crossed the peninsula. Property
damage was not heavy, the Weather
Bureau reported.
Between August "a and September
2, a storm beat its way up the At
lantic Seaboard, but the center never
touched land The third storm dur
ing the middle of September stayed
well out to sea until it reached Nova
Scotia, where it turned inland and
was felt at Eastport, Me.
Today, the Weather Bureau was
watching a tropical storm far out to
sea, in the South Atlantic. 1t was
first reported south of the Azores by
q ship on the way to Africa. The
storm was lost for two days when it
again was reported slightly east of the
previous position, but still so far away
the Weather Bureau could not predict
whether it ever would reach the shores
of the United States.
Mitchell said it was not rare for a
season to pass with only three hurri-
canes. He brought out graphs to show
there were seven seasons on record
when only one or two tropical disturb
ances were recorded. The records 20
back so years.
Recently, however. reports of hurri-
canes seem to have been more numer-
Gus. Mitchell said this was partly
due to improved facilities for charting
the storms. Until comparatively re-
Gently. he said, many a storm blew
itself out at sea without the bureau
ever hearing Of it. Now ships report
disturbances, their violence and loca-
ton, and many storms appear on the
bureaus charts that live only a day
or two and never touch land.

 The dance is to be given at the School Auditorium Saturday June 18th, commencing at 9:30 PM. Admission charge was set at $l00 per person.

An answer is expected as soon as the Vic arrives at Dutch Harbor.
 It has been customary in Nome for many years to stage a Chee- chaoco Ball to welcome the new corners, but since the fire of 1884 which destroyed all of Nome's public halls, no welcoming af- fair has been staged.
