Cancels Hair Is Used for Packing, but
the Animals Weep If Carelessly Plucked

The Monaghan camel grows very
long hair to protect him during the
bitter months of winter, and, as the
weather becomes warmer, his coat
falls away in strips and patches.
Whenever we wanted to pack box
of fossils, we simply pulled the
necessary quantity of wool off our
camels, writes Roy Chapman An
drews in Asia Magazine. No finer
packing-material could be devised,
and new crop continually ap-
peared as the weather grew warm
er and the camels shed more read
lily. s
But certain amount of care had
to be exercised in plucking the poor
beasts; for camel, in spite of his
size, is very delicate animal. If
we removed his underclothes too
suddenly, he was very likely to
catch cold and to whimper in the
most disconsolate way, while great
tears ran out of his eyes.
The more I see of a camel. the
more extraordinary he appears to
me. Certainly he is not beast of
our day; he is a remnant of the
Pleistocene. He will pass with a
disdainful sniff the most succulent
green grass and walk straight out
on the desert, to lunch contentedly
on thorny cacti and other vegetation

''How should you know, who've
never been without it?" he retorted.
"Ned's right. I've spoiled you, I
suppose; and now I must pay the
penalty" Then, because he was hurt
and angry James said something he
regretted later. ''Well, take your
choice; but if the fellow quits, and
you quit with him, I'm through with
you, Nora. And when the cupboard
is bare-when the lack of silk stock

Remember that"
Had he struck the girl, he could
not have hurt her more.
Never before had her father felt
such anger at Leonora. That she
should even contemplate the idea of
clipping with Don Mason, after what
he considered his forbearance in
giving the young man a place in
his own office, was utterly beyond

James Lambert's unimaginative
comprehension. Since that long
gone, tragic day when the girl dis
covered their real relationship, her
foster-father had felt that she was
grateful for everything he had tried
to be to her. Now he wondered;
and, wondering, grew bitter. Yet in
a pathetic, lonely way James could
not bear to be at odds with Leo
nora, his wife's last gift to him.
Tossing restlessly on his bed that
night, he longed to go to this dearly
loved daughter whom he could not
always understanding make his
peace and ask her to forget his
harshness; but because of a stub
born streak deep in his nature, the
man could not do it; and this il
lumined moment which would have
brought them infinitely closer,
passed and was gone.
It was, however, no small meas
ure of comfort that the girls morn
ing greeting was unchanged. If
Morals night had been as restless
as her fathers, nothing revealed
the fact. She kissed him as usual;
poured his coffee and chatted am
ably of nothing in particular. But
that evening James, who had been
thinking, invaded the room where
Leonora was playing to her lover,
and sat for a half hour watching
the young man closely.
Nora was right, he admitted. The
fellow had changed deplorably.
Queer that he hadn't observed it
sooner. Don looked what James
called "peaked." And he was very

pale; not paler than Ned, perhaps,
but shockingly paler than he had
been six months ago.
Still, was there any reason for
alarm? James thought not. Don's
pallor was merely the result of an
indoor existence. Absurd for Nora
to worry about his health. In an
other month or so he would become
acclimated-get used to it-stop
champing at the bit as he did now.
And there was no doubt that Don
Mason needed discipline. He'd been
his own master since he was eight
cen. It was high time he learned
to meet responsibilities, or how was
he to take care of a girl like Leo
nora? And they were both young
enough. It wouldn't hurt them to
wait a little longer. He'd give them
a trip abroad as wedding gift If
Don would agree to settle down
after they got back.
James smiled to himself, pleased
at this new idea. It should be

"Never-unless things get more

''What good will it do us to stick it

The young man laughed, confess

He stopped abruptly, and Nora
asked: "Has Ned been bothering?"

an attempt to end the discussion.

Royal Dreams Typiaed by Palms

Royal Dreams Typifled by Palms
The desire of every man to be a
king is typified by Rio de Janeiro's
great number of royal palms. Dom
Joao, king at the beginning of the
Nineteenth century, had planted the
first seed Of the royal palm himself
and ruled that the tree was to be
exclusively his. To preserve his
monopoly he ordered every seed
from it gathered up and burned,
but the residents of Rio who wanted
to initiate royalty bribed his slaves
to sell the seeds. As result royal
palms soon sprang up everywhere.

Eat Fish in Norway

In Bergen, Norway, fish is served
three times a day in nearly all
families, and as a result, the life Of
the community revolves about it's

is a somewhat fastidious shopper,

prefers to have her fish scooped
up alive from salt water pools with

amounts to fine art in Bergen.

A reassuring laugh came over the

Next evening the girl said out of
silence: "Don-it's appalling"
Watching her lover closely she
had observed, with something of a
shock, how those months of confine-

pearance. It had been a gradual
change, of course, and seeing him
daily Nora had not realized the
growing hollows below his cheek
bones, or that the tan born of years
in the open was quite gone, leaving
his face with an unnatural pallor.
Even his sea-blue eyes that made
her think of sun-lit, dancing water,
were more opaque, more lifeless;

touch earth lightly, dragged now

It was the first admission of the
sort that he'd allowed himself to
make.
Nora played for an hour, lifting
Gypsy strains at first that led Don's
troubled spirit far away to the
"green pastures and still waters"
for which it hungered.

When the record of the applica-

enable the workers to believe not

separate and distinct from wages,
has proved more effective in secur-

In the minds of the employees than

The committee entered upon this
fact-finding survey with a free and
unbiased desire to assemble the ex-

in order that a a'reliable and au-
thentic record thereof might be
made available to all employers and

upon the actual figures relating to

The survey is primarily concerned
with the history Of profit-sharing
and extra compensation plans, the
success or failure of such plans, and
the reasons for their continuance or
abandonment.
These facts are not unrelated to
the broader aspects of unemploy-

Senator Herring Calls
Profit-5haring Key
To labor Problem
Survey Results Are
Encouraging, He Says,
In Forum Talk

Senator Clyde L. Herring of Iowa
chairman of a Senate Finance Com
mittee subcommittee investigating
profit-sharing systems in this coun-
try, spoke on the subject Profit
Sharing May Be the Answer" last
night in the National Radio Forum
arranged by The Star and broad
cast over Nation wide network OF
the National Broadcasting Co. The
text of his address follows:
May express my appreciation for
having placed at my disposal again
the splendid facilities of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., and the
Radio Forum of the Washington
Star.
At the last session of the United
States Congress-, Democratic Sen
ate, by unanimous vote, adopted a
Senate resolution, introduced by
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan which pro-
vtded for a subcommittee of the
Senate Finance Committee to be
appointed by the chairman, Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi, and
charged with the duty of making
"A complete study of existing
profit-sharing systems between en-
ployers and employees in the
United States with a view to
the preparation of an authentic
record of experience and to
consider what favorable contri-
button, If any, may be made
to the encouragement of profit
sharing by the Federal Govern
ment, including the grant of
compensatory tax exemptions and
tax rewards when profit-sharing is
voluntarily established, and to con-
slider any other recommendations
which may prove desirable in pur-
suit of these objectives."
Senator Harrison accordingly ap-
pointed one Republican and two
Democratic Senators, Senator VAN
denberg, Senator Edwin c. johnson
of Colorado and myself, to conduct
the survey.
Hearings Being Held.
This committee, Immediately
upon adjournment of Congress,
communicated with several thous-
and firms, whose schedules of infor-
nation are on file with us. having
been solicited on an entirely volun-
tary basis.
Open hearings are now being held
in Washington. No subpoenas have
been or will be issued. EMPLOYERS
and employees alike are being in
vited to appear before the COM
mittee at hearings open to the pub
lie to give their experience in
prof1t-sharing and extra compen-
sation plans.
Whereas little authentic informa-
ton on the subject was available
prior to the commencement of this
survey, it already appears as dis
