Cause of Blood Rains

Blood rains are rains which have
a pinkish tinge, as though actually
diluted blood. When allowed to
stand in a container, such rain de-
posits reddish mud. Every few
years blood rains occur in Italy.
Their cause is reddish dust from the
Sahara, as was first proved by the
German biologist Christian Ehren-
berg in 1847. Storms life the red
dish dust from the desert and blow
it northward across the Mediterran-
can to be washed down by rains in
Europe.

through. He died regardless of the
excellent care given him. Others re-
port similar experiences.
The late summer fawns suffer the
most. Their full strength had not been
attained before the snow became SO
deep they could not forage for them
selves and the larger deer in the herd
fed on the trees and bushes above the
reach of the smaller deer Several of
these have been reclaimed by settlers
and at camps.
If deer are enabled to pull through
the onslaughts of dogs, wolves and the
weather for another month they will
soon be enabled to forage and regain
their strength. In the meantime the
wardens ask all to do their part in
getting feed to the animals wherever
possible to do their best to exterminate
the dog pest.

Easter Monday Ball
Enjoyed by Many.

The eye-glass fund of the Ely Parent

HalcyOn DAYS

What we call Indian summertime
rather prolonged period of calm,
frost-free days and nights that fol-
low the first stiff frosts-the Greeks
called Halcyon Days. 1t was dur
ing this time, says Science Service,
that the kingfsher, which is called
Halcyon in classic Greek, was sup
posed to forego his usual raucous
voice and to sing sweetly, telling
the mariners that they need fear
no storms. The phrase has survived,
though most of us have forgotten
its origin.

Band, Forerunner of Hat

In Bolivia hat with a top re-

beads is worn by Siamese women.
In the East Indies, men wear a
hat which looks like bonnet. The

to keep the hair out of the eyes, was
the father of the hat. A crown was
first added and then a brim.

1t may be that yesterdays boys

FRANCIS GARVAN,

Post-Wartime Alien Proper.
ty Custodian Headed the
Chemical Foundation.
lv fba Axsocjated press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Francis Pat
rick Garvan So, president of the
Chemical Foundation and United
States alien property custodian dur
ing the post World War period, died
yesterday at his home.
A former assistant United States
attorney general, Garvan became
alien property custodian March 4,
1919, after serving for two years as
custodian of alien property in the
New York area.
The handing over of 4,700 German
patents and processes seized during
the war to the Chemical Foundation
resulted in demands being made on
Garvan for their return after his sue
cessor, Thomas W. Miller, became
alien property custodian in 1921.
Gervan defended his action in
giving the foundation control of the
patents, and in a letter to President
Harding charged that German agents
representing the international dye
trust instigated the demands.
For his stand he was honored by
the American Chemical Society, whose
president called him "our war friend
and prophet"
Mr.. Garvan was we'll known in
washington. He was a member of the
Metropolitan, Racquet and Chevy
Chase Clubs and the Congressional
Country Club here.
He held many degrees and from 1919
