Uncle Rays Corner

Soon the men saw the footprints
Of two bears. The bear tracks fol-
lowed the trail of the moose. The
prints were far enough apart to
make it look as though the moose
was pacing" while the bears were
"galloping."
Unexpected Answer.
The men were excited. What
would happen If the bears caught
up with the moose? This question
was answered In a way they did not
expect.
Tracks showed that the moose
had been joined by another moose
and that the two had turned to
fight the bears. The moose were
gone but the men caught sight of
one of the bears, up a tree, and at
the foot of the. same tree was the
other bear, dying from a horn
thrust.
The great enemies of moose are
wolves. A single wolf is no match
for moose, since it may be killed
easily by . blow from the great
antlers, but q pack of wolves is q
different matter. If moose Is be-
set by pack its only hope is to run.
Woe to the great beast if its
antlers are caught in the branches
Of q tree when wolves are at its
heels.

News About Stamps
BY james Waldo Fowcett

Among the names on the Army
Roll Of Honor, printed last Thurs
day. was that of John P. Graziani,
well-remembered as an active junior
stamp enthusiast in Washington a
decade ago. He was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Graziani of
1903 L street NE; the husband of
Mrs. Ann Mathews and the father
of Theresa GRAHAM, 1928 Simms
place NE. Before being drafted he
was employed at the Army Map
Service. He went overseas in Janu-
ary, 1945, and died of wounds re-
ceived in battle near Berg, in Ger

Miss Bryant, south, opened with
bid of two diamonds. Mrs. Gleek
responded with a call of three clubs,
indicating an ace. Had she merely
jumped the diamond bid as she could
easily have done, holding five Of the
suit, it Is probable that the subse-
quent grand slam in spades would
not have been bid. Miss Bryant
switched to three spades and then
got a response of four diamonds.
Her next call was six diamonds to
which her partner bid six spades
thus showing strong support in that
suit. Miss Bryant thereupon bid
seven spades and as the result Of ac-
curate bidding made the contract.
West opened the king OF hearts,
which was won by south's ace. Her
other heart was led and trumped by
dummy. Three leads of spades ex-
hausted the adversely held trumps
and the declarer was then able to
run six diamonds and still had
dummy's ace of clubs for her single
ton of that suit.
Miss Bryant and her partner had
IL diamonds between them and only
eight spades, but each spade trick
counted 10 points more than the
diamonds and grand slam could be
made in either suit. Such q result
Is more important in duplicate than
In rubber bridge. It would mean
top on the board against pairs that
bid and made the grand slam in
diamonds as most players would be
likely to do, holding II cards Of the

Public auction sales of art faith
fully reflect the trend in prices
throughout the country According
to the annual report of the Parke-
Bernet Galleries, Inc, Of New York,
its 1856 sales of art, literary and
other personal property closed June
IA with an all-time record total of
$6,684, ,045, accompanied by steadily
continuing rise in prices. Annually,
for several years, this well-known
and long-established auction house
has broken its previous records. The
total for 1944-5 was $6,165 ,920.50,
over half a million less than this
years.
Hiram H. Parke, president of the
galleries, stated that the law of sup
ply and demand operates very clearly
in public auction sales, and that dur
ing the past season, they sold about
20 per cent fewer lots to a larger
number of buyers, whose competi-
tion inevitably produced higher
total. However, other factors also
have part in the seasons results.
He pointed out that the public has
been increasingly educated to appre-
ciate fine furniture, paintings, OBJ
jects of art and rare books, by such
agencies as magazines, newspapers,
museums and other cultural insti-
tutions..
Taste in general, he thinks, has
radically improved, and with buying
power more widely distributed, the
demand for art and literary property
has Increased. The interest noted
during 1944-5 in fine Americana
Continued strong, but interest in old
masters, as compared to that in
moderns, f1uctuates. During the
past season, demand for paintings
by modernists was ascendant; In the
previous season, it Jagged behind In
terest in old masterpieces.
Fewer Lots, Better Prices
Ninety-eight sales were held at
the galleries from September 27,
zo45, to June IA, 1916. OF the So
654,045 total, paintings accounted for
s1.210,216; books and prints for ST.
1SS, ,ZtO. rullllluTG, CCIdIIllCS, rugs,
silver and other objects of art, man
uscripts and precious-stone jewelry
also fetched high totals. In all, 36,-
563 catalogue lots were bid in by
private collectors, dealers, decorators
and representatives of museums.
This number was 5.367 lots less than
we're sold during the previous sea-
k,n, yet they brought more than half
q million dollars more.
The average price per lot from
1887 to 1943 was $92; from 1914 to
1946 the average was $158, an in
crease of over 10 per cent. (To
many Of us laymen this contrast
merely confirms the infationary
trend noted in prices for food, cloth
Ing, houses and other categories.)

Capitol Tour Proves
Highly Interesting to
Anacostia High Girl
Prize Contribution
By Dot lnslee. Is
Anoeostio High School

One bright moVing I decided to
do little sightseeing around this
beautiful city that I have lived IN
these past 13 years.
Sometime around noon I arrived
at the front steps of the Capitol,
where I had arranged to meet my
uncle. Entering the center room I
noticed series of paintings around
the lower wall and a frieze encir-
cling a higher part Of the dome.
The paintings, my uncle told me,
represented stories from American
history, while the frieze was the
story of the founding Of the United
States.
Then we went into the wing occu-
pied by the House of Representa-
tives. The downstairs room of this
wing is known as Statuary Hall,
which explains itself when you see
the many statues of famous men
around the walls. Next, we went
up the stairs, passing several in
teresting paintings, and came to the
Sd11C1 4Co. <AS SOA164 COD Woo A4OV al
session we only glanced in through
the doorway just long enough to see
rows of desks around a higher desk
on the floor below, and several rows
of seats where the spectators could
watch Congress in session.
Retracing our steps to the Dome
Room, we turned to the right and
entered the Senate wing. The first
thing I noticed was a deep crypt
which had been built for the body
of George Washington. Instead
however. the body was entombed at
Mount Vernon. The next thing ]
noticed was small room where the
first Senate had met. The room Is
now roped off for exhibition.
Ascending another set of stairs
We came to the Senate chamber
Since the Senate was in session, dis
cussing the atomic research bill, we
were allowed to 60 in the galleries
There were only about 20 Senators
present, and we could not heal
much that was being said.
I'm sure that my visit to the Cap.
itol was one Of the most interesting
trips have ever taken. and per.
haps many Of The Junior STAR
readers would enjoy going there ir
case they haven't gone before.

The bull moose has antlers which
are wonder to behold. Often they
measure four or five feet from tip
to tip, and sometimes the spread is
even greater.
In 1910 q moose slain in an
Ontario forest was found to have
antlers spreading out II inches. The
an-time record, however, seems to
be held by an Alaskan moose. The
hunter said that when he first
measured the antlers they had a
spread of "a inches. Later, after
being placed in the Field Museum Of
Chicago they shrank to 78 inches.
The weight Of the record antlers,
counting the skull, was given as 90
pounds.
Found Trail Of Moose.
A bull moose is likely to stand
about six feet high at the shoulders.
In few cases the animals have
measured seven feet. and one moose
slain in British Columbia was re-
ported to measure eight feet. The
female moose, or COW, is not so large
as the male and does not have
antlers. .
On q winter day years ago two
men walking through forest land In
Eastern Canada came upon the trail
Of q moose In the snow. They de-
cided to follow the trail In the hope
Of being able to shoot the moose.

Oh, queen Of night, thou lady pale

How still the earth when once

Thy moonbeam tresses brush its

AS DER the mountains crest their

Ascending now to take thy throne

Complete in undisputed majesty,
Thy shining garments trail across

And leave a path of silver on the

Oh, fair Diana, till the morn draws

Leave not thy watch Of calm

Is thrilled with Joy at Just the

More grateful, when thy splendor

Sage Advice to Vacati0mers

cision. OF course, you'll probably
want to call a family meeting to
talk 1t over, and discuss it with the
crowd, too.
No Day Dreaming.
II It's job you want most, don't
start day dreaming about yourself as
the slick cigarette gal or busboy in
a nightclub, right away. What kind
OF job you take isn't entirely mat
ter of your own choice. Employers
have some ideas about whom they
want to hire. And there are some
laws that will keep you from taking
some jobs even If they are offered to
you.
There are people outside the
family who can help you find out
about these laws and about job
possibilities, and can help you size
them up.
There are Laws.
Your school counselor, or a place
ment interviewer In good employ
ment agency can help you in this
way, and can also tell you some OF
the short cuts to finding a job.
You'll want to find out about rules
too. There are laws that regulate
the hours you can work and the
minimum pay you can be offered
Don't think that you will receive In
cash the exact amount you have
been told you will earn. Deductions
may be made for your social security
contribution, and for income tax.
You'll also probably want to know
whether the place you work in ha.
been organized by labor union
and what unions do.
Regulations Protect You.
All these services and regulations
have come into being to protect you
You'll be helping yourself to better
job II you know about them before
you sign up for one.
At the height of the wartime man
power shortage, about five million
boys and girls between IA and Il
held jobs during summer vacations
The war is over now and the de-
mand for the services Of beginners
has decreased in some occupations
There will probably be fewer jobs
for you to choose from this year
The pay you're offered may be lower
than the pay your older brother got
two years ago. This year employers
may prefer to give the job you want
to a war veteran.

English and American furniture
Of the 18th and early 10Th centuries
continued to be popular, single items
and sets selling for $4,000 to $4,000
However, French 18th century fur

wealthy foreign buyers bid eagerly
for French furniture.

Washington is the home Of many
private collectors who own works
of rare beauty and great value. Not
a few probably have acquired some
items at Parke- -Bernet Galleries
auction sales. But persons who are
not collectors also find the sales
exciting and interesting and decid-
edly worthy of a visit when one is
in New York. The season is autumn
