MURRAY'S WONDER DOGS VISIT
S. III. II. S.
On Thursday, November 10, the en-
tire student body and faculty of Snow
Hill School enjoyed thoroughly the
performance of six Pomeranian dogs
trained by Jimmy Murray. For for
ty-five minutes these dogs responded
faithfully to the directions given by
their master. Mr.. Murray demon
strated how dog could be trained
and then proved that his teaching had
been most effective.
The dogs jumped through hoops,
played see-saw, Knocked United
States Senator, put on a Joe Louis
and Max Schmeling boxing match,
performed on merry-go-round and
initiated boys and girls on their way
to school. For the last stunt, one of
the dogs climbed a seven foot ladder
and then walked a tight-rope for fif-
teen feet.
Mr.. Murray has the patience and
skill necessary for training dogs. He
never whips dog, but instead uses

SNOW HILL FIELD BALL
The Field Ball Champions of Wor-
cester County played their first out
of county game November 10. After
being victorius in their own county,
they travelled to Princess Anne with
the intention of defeating the cham
pionship team of Somerset County,
but this was in vain. It seemed as
though Snow Hill couldn't score many
goals. The team was very sorry to
lose this game as it marked the close
of Field Ball season. The girls wish
to express their great appreciation for
the cooperation of their coach, Miss
G. Jones, who helped them to win the
championship of Worcester County.

Where TuIips Grow

The tulip has a wide dispersion in
the wild state and is to be found in
the northern hemisphere around the
shores of the Mediterranean, North
Africa and the Lsvant, in Armenia
and the Caucasus and Persia, and
so far away as Japan and Turkes-
tan. But we associate it especially
with Holland, where it arrived from
Constantinople and the Levant in
the Sixteenth century and was put
into intensive cultivation as an i'm
portant industry. From Holland it
spread to England and tulip bulbs
became a substantial item in inter-
national trade. All our gardens in
America prize the tulip which by
skillful cross breeding has devel-
oped hundreds of varieties. The ar
tistry of nature has had few finer
inspirations than the tulip, and the
artistry and science of man have
enhanced it.

Carlsbad Caverns' Bats
Discovered by a Cowboy

Curiosity of desert cowboy as
to the origin of what appeared to be
a spiral of dark smoke led to the
discovery in 1901 of the worlds larg-
est caverns, % miles southwest of
Carlsbad, N. M.
The "smoke spiraP' proved to be
a formation of bats-millions of
them-coming from natural
arched opening in the earth. The
''bat flight" is one of the spectacles
at Carlsbad Caverns, National park,
of which the "Big Room" of stalac-
tiles and stalagmites, $50 feet below
the surface is nearly 1000 feet long
and 625 feet wide. It has an arched
ceiling 300 feet at one point from the
floor level.
The extent of the caverns has nev-
er been determined. Seven miles of
corridors and chambers are open to
visitors. Below the 750-foot level
there is another vast apartment at
900 feet and third at 1920 feet.
Visitors are taken only to the first
level, reached by trail and eleva-
tors.

History of Agriculture
Story of Growth of West

The history of American agricul-
ture is in many respects trav-
elogue. 1t is a story of a steady
movement westward by land seek
ing families until the Pacific coast
was reached, observes writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
The American Revolution opened
lands formerly owned by England
to colonization and settlement; the
Louisiana purchase in 1903 opened
more to the settlers; the treaty with
Mexico in 1848 gave the United
States California, New Mexico, and
Arizona, and resulted in annexa-
ton of Texas. The homestead act
of 1862 sent thousands of settlers
into the West and did more to popu-
late the new lands than any other
single factor.
BY 1890 the American farmer
faced a new situation. Almost all
of the desirable western lands
which had seemed inexhaustible,
were fenced in and used for grazing
or were under cultivation. No long
err could a man, after running his
farm by careless cultivation, move
on to new soil. The farmer then
turned to the task of conserving and
rebuilding the soil upon which he
had settled.

Badger Sets Example in
Cleanliness and Health

Human beings are less ''health-
minded than any other branch of
human life. Wild animals instinc-
lively do what is right for the pres
ervation of their health. Humans not
only have to be taught, painfully
and laboriously, to seek fresh air,
exercise, clean food and adequate
rest-but they actually create an
environment inimical to health,
asserts a writer In Pearson's Lon
don Weekly.
A striking instance of how the
lower animals can set us-the high
er form of animal life-an excellent
example in domestic hygiene is pro-
vided by the badger. His burrow-
ing and excavation is muddy work,
but he takes care not to carry soil
into his home. He wipes all four
feet energeticalIy on the ''doormat"
before he enters.
He spring cleans regularly, re-
makes his bed by replacing used
bracken and grass with fresh sup
plies, and is skilled plumber. He
actually makes ingenious sinks for
storing remnants of food.
Humans can't teach him much
about cleaning and hygiene-but
they might learn from him..
