Shannon Allen (reading statement

Seeks to Promote Travel.
The Pan-American Union has
endeavored by all possible means to
stimulate travel among the countries
Pof the Western Hemisphere. Its
activities encompass a number of
publicity and promotional projects
intended to disseminate better
knowledge Of the natural beauties
and the archaeological, Colonial,
scenic and recreational attractions
of the Americas. The Pan-American
Union has come into close contact
with problems which retard inter-
American travel. Their early solu-
ton has become imperative at this
time, when the need of unity among
the American nations is so clearly
emphasized by situations that are
taking place beyond the seas.

Travel Congress will meet next April
In San Francisco. Representatives
Of the governments, the semi -om-

the Latin American countries, Cam

present. The congress will bring to
the attention Of the representatives
Of the American Republics the i'm
portance Of inter-Arnerican Travel,
and seek the best means Of co-ord-
mating scattered efforts, Of improv-
ing their facilities, and Of making
their attractions better known. It's
deliberation will lead to immediate,
practical results, commensurate
with the Importance Of the prob

The valuable assistance and sup

Commerce will be reflected in terms

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Whales are born with mustaches.
A mustached porpoise baby was
among the specimens exhibited to the
regents Of the Smithsonian Institution
at their annual meeting yesterday.
Porpoises belong to the same family
as whales and presumably the phe-
nomenon is common for the whole
race.
The mustache is very thin and prob
ably Is lost a few weeks after birth.
Whales, it was explained, are de-
scended from furred land animals.
Through millions Of years of life in
the oceans all trace Of the original
coat Of fur has been lost except this
baby mustache.
A strange race Of land snails was
exhibited by Dr. Paul Bartsch Of the
Smithsonian sta1. They were COL
lected in Western Cuba-1e different
races within an area OF about is
square miles. Each race Is confined
to the caverns Of single limestone
block. These blocks are separated by
areas Of sand and grass. For a snail
to wander as much as three feet from
its cave mouth would mean death from
starvation so the 16 races are as ef-
fectively separated as If they were ip-
habitants Of different continents.
Their food. DR.. Bartsch explained
consists entirely of threads Of algae
found on the walls OF the limestone
caverns.
Sparkling Creatures Resurrected.
Jewel-like little creatures Of q half
billion years ago. some Of the earliest
known forms of life on earth, which
have been dissolved out of chunks OF
limestone by weak hydrochloric acid,
were exhibited by the Department of
Geology. These were brachiopods, an
extinct form of life. They look like
small nuts surrounded by sharp, glis-
tening, very delicate silica spines
which sparkle in the light like Christ
mas tree decorations.
In the past, 1t was explained by DR..
r. S. Basler, curator of geology, it
has been impossible to get such speci-
mems. When the little creatures died
they sank to the bottom OF the sea
and were buried In silt which, in the
course Of million Of years, hardened
into rock. Generally it was necessary
to drill them out of this rock. Even
the most expert jeweler could not hope
to preserve the glistening spines in the
drilling process. The hydrochloric

Colors Saved Through Ages.
The dominant creatures in the
ancient oceans at the beginning Of
life on this planet, so far as is known,
were crablike animals known as trilo-
bites. One small trilobite was ex-
hibited in its natural colors, presum-
ably very close to those which 1t
sported when alive. Firmly incased
for half q billion years in the hard
rock these colors have not weathered
out Of the shell. This specimen also
could have been obtained only by the
hydrochloric acid process.
The trilobites presumably had life
histories like other animals, changing
their forms from stage to stage as
they progressed from birth to matur-
ity. One Of the most impressive ex-
hibits was a collection also obtained
by the rock-dissolving process. illus
trating this complete life process from
the newborn, about the size of the
head of pin, through various changes
of form to the adult animal The
smaller forms were the earth's Oldest
known babies
There are lots Of living things on
earth that science knows nothing
about-but they are all microscopic
cally small. Two years ago DR.. r. E.
Blackwelder collected beetles in the
West indies on Smithsonian fellow
ship. devoting his attention to those
Of very minute size, since 1t was a
fair bet that anything big enough to
be seen readily already had been COL
lected and described.
He has been able to study and clas-
sify about a tenth OF his collection.
Out of this tenth he showed yesterday
approximately $50 forms Of whose ex-
istence nothing previously had been
known, but some Of which may be Of
economic importance.
Oriental Scepter Displayed.
The exhibit included two Of the
supreme masterpieces of Oriental artis-
try which have been added to the
Smithsonian collections during the
year. The first was the imperial
scepter OF Emperor Ch'ien Lung Of
China. who ruled from 1885 to 1795,
and was one Of the great figures Of
the Manchu dynasty, which was de-
throned in 1912 and whose living rep
resentative is the puppet King Of Man.
