MANY Owl Species

Owls range in size from FIVE inches
to two feet, and in color may be
brown, gray, spotted, striped. red.
or white like an ARCTIC owl Scien-
fists have discovered that their col
ors may be altered in captivity by a
controlled diet. Females are larger
than the males. There are Is species
of owls in North America
The Barn Owl. famed as the mon
key-faced owl, is the headline win
ner. but is not actually rare, Their
babies are amazingly ugly. At the
end of a month they have lost most
of their ungainly appearance. With
soft freckled, tan breasts and gray
and cream cloaks, they reach q very
solemn looking adolescence.
The great horned owl is the most
powerful, often catching hares. The
long cared owl, with his long ear
tufts. is the most handsome. He is
fond of frequenting abandoned
houses and emitting ghostly
screams.

Doctor Explodes Causes
For High Blood Pressure

i is popular these days to at
II bute the increasing incidence of
srierial hypertension-high blood
pressure-to the mad, dizzy pace of
this modern life Of ours.
But an eminent specialist believes
TO such thing. He says the com
plexity and chaos of modern living
may accentuate the condition but
does not directly cause it. He hope
that medical science will in the very
near future perfect a substance
which, when injected into the blood
stream. VIII bring pressure down to
normal OF at least reduce il below
the danger point
The doctor IS Dr. Soma Weiss,
physician in chief at the Peter Bent
Brigham hospital al Boston, Mass,
and professor of medicine at Har-
ward university
The care-free Southern darky.
without a care In,the world, Joyous
from dawn until dusk, is as suscepti-
bic to high blood pressure, he says,
as the big hard-riding executive with
& carload of troubles and a battery
of telephones always before him.
In small villages" he says.
where life is quiet and excitement
rare. high blood pressure is as fire.
Cuently found as in the larger cen
ters of population. Life may be
pSychlcally more intense in cities,
but not necessarily harder Hyper
tension is not caused by psychic in
1enSity. although psychic intensity
may accentuate It, ."
He goes even further He doubts
that apprehension cases are becom-
ing alarmingly more numerous.
That they appear to have become
more numerous, he thinks, may be
somewhat due to the fact that people
live longer and have an opportunity
70 develop the disease.
apprehension, he says, is caused
there are exceptionally the pres
once in the blood of chemical sub
stance produced by the kidneys.
This substance, the nature of which
j. not yet known, causes a conStric-
ton of the blood vessels There are
two general sets of conditions that
bring about this action of the kid
ncys. he says-a malfunction of GER
tain glands and a malfunction of
the kidney itself, both of which arise
out of progressive degenerative
processes. apprehension may also
be caused mechanically, he says. by
overweight In this instance the
blood vessels are CONSTRUCTED by the
body itself. but reduction of weight
generally corrccts the condition.

Once Bashful Man
On Hunger Strike
Persistent Swain in Long
Siege to Win Blonde.

CLAYTON, MO.-Melvin F. Mil.
Ter, 80 years old. a scissors grind
er and self-ordained preacher, was
on a hunger strike in the village
lookup recently, his latest antic in
a l2-year-old campaign to win The
love of Edith Perkins, 81, a blonde
Stenographer
He wasted the first six years of
his courtship because of bashful-
ness. He said il took him that long
TO obtain courage to ask for date.
She went to church with him and
refused TO see him again. During
the last six years he has been more
courageous in his pursuit
He was arrested last October and
jailed for disturbing the peace,
again recently for having chained
himself to a tree for three days two
blocks from Miss Perkins home
and, as neighbors complained,
barking like dog"
Il haven't eaten in five days" he
said, land / won't eat bite until
she comes to see me and brings me
food with her own hands," he said.
Miss Perkins, who can cook,
learned at the home of her parents
of Miller'S strike. She was unSym-
pathetic.
Nuts she said.
Miller weighs 2lO pounds and is
six feet tall He described himself
as sort of minister for the Good
Samaritan army.
When he chained himself to the
tree Miss Perkins. notified by neigh
bors. summoned Constable Charles
Adams. who found Miller in a pup
tent beside the tree. One end of the
chain was padlocked TO his neck,
the other TO the tree The keyhole
of the padloCks were filled with &C.
ment.
Adams filed the chains, took
Miller to jail, and asked Miss Per
kinS what charges she wanted to file.
She said she didn't know and didn't
care
But" she added. IF you don't
keep him away from me, I'll take
matters into my own hands. All
want is to be left alone. He's been
bothering me for IL years"
Miller said he would never give
up his attempts to win Miss Per-
kinS. She said she wouldn't 60
out with me if I were the last man
on EARTH" he said. We'll, I'm not,
SO l figure that gives me chance"

God Bless America Is
Song of Peace, Thanks

God Bless America !"-Irving
Berlin's ringing anthems sweep
ing the country
If things go from bad to worse
in Europe it is song that may
sweep the world
II is not an anthem of war-but
of peace and thanksgiving.
Irving Berlin has himself just es-
tablished trust fund providing that
all royalties from God Bless Amer
ica!" be used among the youth of
this country for patriotic purposes.
The Boy Scouts and the Girl
Scouts of America are the first or
CARNATIONS TO be selected by the
trustees.
The history of God Bless Amer
ica!" is rather unusual.
II was first written by Mr.. Berlin
IN 1917, but we were so busy in
Europe that he did not publish it
until 1898.
Kate Smith sang it on the radio
and it instantly answered the pro-
found. unspoken yearnings OF mil
lions of Americans.
God Bless America"
That is what millions in Europe
are saying under their breathS.
Let all Americans shout it to the
heavens.
