Young of Some Animals
Weigh Little When Born

It is claimed that new born opos-
sums weigh about four grains as
compared with the mothers weight
Of ten pounds. The young are born
with weI-developed forelegs that
enable them to crawl into the ma
ternal pouch Immediately after
birth, where they remain for some
time.
It is stated that the kangaroo per-
haps heads the list in this respect.
The mother, sometimes taller than
a man, gives birth to young that are
less than one inch long. Both the
opossum and kangaroo are the best
known members of pouched ami
mails, called marsupials.
The young of the common black
bear, that are born in Information,
weigh about ten ounces as compared
with the mothers weight of two
hundred pounds or more.
These three animals undoubtedly
produce the smallest young in COM
parison to the weight Of the parents
of any wild animals.
Virginia white-tailed deer give
birth to fawns weighing about four
pounds while the mother tips the
scale at 100 to $50 pounds.

About the Swastika

The Swastika, oldest of all Aryan.
symbols, is definitely pref Christian.
and many specimens of it have
been found in the diggings of old
Troy. From its rough likeness to
wheel it is associated by some with
the solar motion and early worship
of the sun, though the most impor-
tant of its attributes, in ancient
usage, is its character as charm,
sign of benediction, of long life
and good luck. 1t is the sacred
symbol of one Buddhist sect, and
from time immemorial has been
known to all peoples of Asia. The
fact that it was not unknown to the
American Indian is held to point
to early communication between the
hemispheres. The word, swastika,
says the Detroit News, derives from
the Sanskrit "su' meaning well, and
"asti'' which means being. On the
bust of Apollo in Vienna's famed
museum of historical art is large
and mmistakable swastika, which
bears out the supposed solar signif-
icance, and Identifies that god, per-
haps, as the first of the Austrian
Nazis.

cordn.g to Z ritter in the Detroit
News. And the reason for this is,
Of course, that throughout the ages
all animals have been pursued by
man and his smell, therefore, in
stantly brings to the surface the
timeless dread of their greatest en-
envy. A deer, for instance, will
often gaze upon a man in sheer
curiosity, but will instantly flee
upon getting wind of him. Since
the beginning of time Nature has
showered her greatest gifts into
the lap of man, but on the whole he
has shown only base ingratitude,
and heedlessly continues to destroy
and dangerously deplete her mag
nifcent creations. In the open all
senses must be mighty keen, and
so Nature in her great wisdom has
endowed her charges with faculties
that will give them at least a fight
ing chance in a life that is always
hard.

Big Massacre Blamed on
Smell of Baking Bread

An Indian who wouldn't take no
for an answer when he wanted
bread and could smell it baking,
precipitated one of the bloodiest In
dian massacres in Michigan's his
tory, says Byron (Mich.) CORE
spondent in the Detroit Free Press.
AS result the little town Of By
ron, settled in 1925, was wiped out
and every fanily-except one
slaughtered. The one family was
that headed by a miller named
Smith.
The Indians refused to harm
Smith because he had taken one Of
their chiefs who was severely in
jured into his home and cared for
him until he recovered.
The massacre resulted when the
husband of the woman who refused
to give bread to the Indian walked
into the house and shot him dead.
The Indians demanded Immediately
that the killer be turned over to
them for punishment. They threat
ened to kill and scalp every settler
and burn their homes unless this
were done.
In general the settlers felt that
the killing had not been justified,
but they stubbornly refused to SUBJ
NIT one Of their members to the
Indians for torture. They sent a
runner to get a company of soldiers
from the fort at Detroit.

confined to bed because of an ILL

ALCHEMY a Mystery

The alchemists or chemists of the
Middle ages were obsessed with the
problems Of the transmutation of
metals, the search for the elixir of
life and the universal solvent. It is
hard to find their records of dis
coveries, if any, for theirs was
secret art and they left few writ
ten records; what they did leave in
writing is in language SO mysterious
as to be almost impossible of inter-
probation to US.

Some authorities assert that rep

approach Of the alternating season.
Observations on nevis and allied
creatures have shown that they nose

IN MEMORIAM
IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR
DEAR DAUGHTER

ANTOINETTE C. MCFARLAND
There is never a day so dreary
But God can make it bright,
And unto the soul that trusts Him,
He giveth songs in the night.
There is never a path so hidden,
But God can lead the way,
If we ask for the spirits guidance
And patiently wait and pray.
There is never cross so heavy
But the nail-scarred hands are
there
Outstretched in tender compassion
The burden to help US bear.
There is never heart so broken
But the loving Lord can heal
The heart that was pierced on
Calvary
Doth still for his loved ones feel.
There is never a life so darkened,
So hopeless and unblessed
But may be filled with the light of
God :-t5&
And enter his promised rest.
There is never a sin or sorrow,
There is never a care or loss
But that we may bring to Jesus
And leave at the foot Of the Cross.
In the midst of the constantly
recurring sense in the loss of the
earthly companionship of our dear
daughter Antoinette who passed on
July 2 last, this poem has been
most comforting to us. True
enough the echo of our sad expert
sence still sounds sorrowful re-
frain in our memory, we know that
Antoinette rests, and that just be-
yond the thin veil that separates
time and eternity, we are conscious
of the sweet influence of her near
ness to us.

Father and Mother.

Robinson Planning
To Go Straight.

r Ado is helping Edward G. Rob-
inson to go straight. The fact
that he is invisible is giving the
screens No. / gangster a long-sought-
for chance to get the public used to
his natural voice and thus pave the
way for the more varied dramatic roles
that he hopes to play in the future
1t all began last summer when c. B.
S. cast him as Petrucchio in The
Tanning of the Shrew." Robinson was
encouraged greatly by the response to
his Shakespearean portrayal. Then,
when he was offered the part Of Steve
Wilson, the racket-smashing managing
editor in the air serial, Big TOWN."
he saw an opportunity to establish
himself firmly as normal, law-abid-
ing citizen in the minds of the public.
His radio role really is rounding out
cycle in Robinsons career, for he
started out playing variety of char
acter parts with the Theater Guild.
Then movie scouts discovered him as
gangster in The Racket" and for
10 years ne was typed as the No.
underworld menace of the screen.
He became so identified as a mob
ster that it complicated his personal,
as we'll as his professional life. Big
shot" gangsters sent him fan letters,
often insisting that he go around with
them and get load of the real I'M
derworld." AL Capone invited both
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson to attend his

On Shows,
Sponsors Shift
Their Airings
To Gotham.

"HE Hollywood entertainment in
/, dustry is busy pumping up its
ballyhoo machinery and pooh
L poohing all suggestions that it
has passed the peak Of its radio pros
perity. Informed observers Of broad
cast trends and talent, however, are
talking among themselves about the
gradual shift Of programs back to
their native New York. Already the
luncheon table whispers have been
confirmed with the sudden walking
papers handed the costly "Your Holly
wood Parade" This luxurious SCREEN
land spectacle. with its array Of
Warner film talent headed by Groom
ing Dick Powell, will be retired on or
about the Ides Of March to the
crowded limbo of gone and forgotten
programs.
Even before the Parade" had puffed
its last plug for a daring but disap-
pointed sponsor, the Eddie Cantor cast
had deserted the picture colony for a
return to Gotham's reviving studios
Still another March migrator is George
Jessel, whose Sunday evening series is
diverting thousands from other pur-
suits to catch his snappy variety show
on the nearest Mutual network sta
ton. Jessel, incidentally, has been
Matching flock Of program ideas and
perhaps hopes that the big money
spenders in New York will lend a re-
ceptive ear to some of his embryo
productions.
Fred Alien has been purring con-
tentedly since his return to New York
and those who come in contact with
the nasal ad-libber have detected a
marked increase in the quality and
quantity of the impromptu quips that
have aided his rise to radio eminence.
TWO main factors-which happen to
be the life blood Of radio-are
directing the shift of radios locale
from West to East. These factors. of
course. are. the millions who listen and
the sponsors who foot the bills. Lis
teners have been complaining about
the plethora of local color that char
acterizes Hollywood programs. While

race track, the average listener Ia
other regions is likely to be left cold
by the unfamiliar surroundings.
Moreover, the average radio fan has
started to complain to radio head-
quarters about the generous volume Of
plugs for this studio and that motion
picture. When Actor Algernon dc
Vamp Is introduced with two-minute
expression Of gratitude to the Man,
moth Studios as well as the Colossal
Lot to which he has been loaned for
his latest starring vehicle, Lost In
Love-" which will be seen In your local
theater next month, and when he
then proceeds to lap up gushing syl-
lables for deer old Cuspid's Catarrh
Compound, the average listener is
likely to long for the good old days
when sponsors paid cash for their en-
tertainers without piling on q service
Of additional credits.
I 1STENERS also have been sulking
about the raucous laughter that
supplies mysterious background to
Hollywood programs. They resent the
unexplained lit Of the eyebrow or con-
tortion OF the cheek that sends the
studio audience into gales of outlaws.
This studio horseplay means nothing
to distant millions, especially when
the announcer on duty fails to give
play-by-play account Of the purely
visual diversion.
Sponsors have been muttering re-
Gently about the high cost of Aim
talent. Many of the big screen names
they hire are failing to pull propor-
tionately large radio audiences, though
the wages they command are fabulous,
and sponsors are learning rapidly that
radios own artists are, as rule, more
capable mike performers and more
willing to endure rigorous rehearsals.
When the big fairs start next year in
New York and San Francisco many
sponsors will have exhibits and will
move their programs out of Hollywood
and into the eXpositions.
