Exhibit At Fair
Helps Arizona

Visitors at Arizona's exhibit at
the New York Worlds Fair already
are beginning to establish resi-
dences in the state, Mary D. Spal-
ding, Arizona's representative at
the exposition, reported yesterday
in a letter to the Arizona Republic.
I'VE have received letters from
several people who have already
arrived in Arizona and were thank
ing us for directing them to so nice
a place to live" Mrs. Spalding
wrote.
Visitors have worn out many
maps, resource editions of the Re-
public, pictures, and copy of Reg
Mannings Cartoon Guide of Ari-
zona" kept at the exhibit desk to
portray Arizona, Mrs. Spaulding
stated.
The exhibit also is selling" Ari-
ona's schools. she said. Many
young people who have been to
schools in Arizona bring their
friends to the exhibit.
The exhibit is popular with Ari-
zonians who VISIT the fair, most of
them commenting that it compares
favorably with exhibits of other
states which spent much larger
sums on their displays
Mrs. Spalding expressed the
opinion the fair will last another
year. giving Arizona the advantage
OF an additional year of advertis-
ing.
The consensus of opinion here
is that this fair will continue an
other year" she said, "and il this
proves to be a fact the Arizona
exhibit should be kept here, as
there never was a better oppor-
tunity to advertise our state
Mrs. Spalding said the expense
of continuing the exhibit would
not involve the heavy outlay ex-
serienced at the beginning of the
fair. Rental, maintenance and sal
aries. she reported. would comprise
expenses.-Ex.

What's in a Birds
Name? Little, In
u. S., Expert Say

CHICAGO = A sparrow isn't
really a sparrow, nor a robin a
robin, nor is a gopher a gopher
in the United States.
The pioneers got the names all
mixed up, and their appellations
have stuck, according to members
of the Field Museum staff. Coming
upon birds and animals new to
them, the early settlers called
their discoveries after the animals
thev most closely resembled. And
now to try to straighten things
OUT
II is interesting to know that
the little feathered gamins that
flock in city areas aren't English
spagrows at all, hut weaver birds,
as Rudyerd BoultOn of the Field
Museum explains. But what's to
be done about il? No American
born sparrow-or, that is, weaver
bird-would answer to the name.
And what rotund robin, making
his early appearance in the middle
latitudes of the U. S. A, would
guess he was really a thrush? Or
nitbologically speaking, he is, the
Museum assures its visitors. The
rea' robin is a Rritisher, small
bird only a third as large as lts
american namesake. What caused
the pioneers to make the mistake
was the red breast of the Amerl-
can bird. The British robin wears
a rcd vest also.
The whole warbler tribe got
misnamed also. America has only
one species of native warbler, Mr..
Boulton assures his visitors. But
the early residents of the country
missed that one. They called 1T a
blue-gray gnat-catcher.
Other misnamed birds are listed
bv Mr.. Boulton. "Our so-called
oriole is really a blackbird," he
ste les. $50 is our meadow-lark.
The wood ibis of Florida is a
sto7k. There are true ibises in
Florida, but they are called white
curlews, which they really are

Injunction Will B e
Permanent, Rules

went 10 the rescue of Sheriff John
C. Bjorklund Monday.

by the demand of Gig Haroor
Justice of the Peace II. r. Thurs
ton for his arrest, can relax while
his tormentor studies permanent
Injunction issued by the superior
Judge stopping all the cross-Sound
litigation.
When Sheriff Bjorklund a week
ago did not produce three prison.
ers in the peninsula court for ar
raignment, the justice cited him
for contempt and went as far as
to have Coroner T. II. Long, only
man empowered to do so, serve an
arrest warrant on the sheriff.
That was stopped by tenn
porary order which Judge
Gard upheld.
Reason the sheriff did not de-
liver the prisoners to the Gig Har-
Dor court was that an affidavit
Of prejudice and motion for change
of venue was on its way there.
Judge Card held with Deputy
Prosecutor Hugo Metzler. jr., that
the Justice had no alternative but
to grant a change of venue and
that, having granted it, he also
lost jurisdiction over any other
matters connected with the case,
including the contempt action.
Justice Thurston did not APP
pear personally to take part
In the dispute. His attorney,
f. p. Moran of Gig Harbor,
represented him, arguing that
Thurston did have power to
hold the sheriff In contempt.
The case out of which the
Biorklund Thurston controversy
grew, a charge that Mrs. Jane
Brown of Tacoma and her tow
sons, Richard and Keith, broke into
a Gig Harbor home and beat its
occupant, Robert L. Rutland, has
been transferred to superior court
in Tacoma.
