Sherer Drops
Pigeon" on 2 Cons
By Jimmie N. Jones

Quick thinking on the part of
an alert housewife and the fast
action of the police department
spelled "doom" for two profession
al confidence men who according
to their w statement tried to
drop a Pigeon" on Mrs. Mary
belle WEIGH, housewife of 1888
Brazil Lane. According to Mrs.
Welch, she was just leaving the
East end of the main post office,
when she was accosted by two
men. One of the men a tall one
of soft speaking tones who asked
Mrs. WEIGH if she knew where he
could find a room with some fam
lily for him and his pal. He told
her, he was a newcomer to the
city and that he did not have the
money to pay the high rate charg-
ed by the Dayton hotels, but if he
could get the room from her, he
would be able to pay a reasonable
price.
Mrs. Welch, having just finish
ed some business at the Postal
Savings window, remembered see
ing the men watching her at the
window, suspicious of their close
attentions, and after coming in
contact with them realized she was
an intended victim of a ICON
trick. With this suspicion resting
heavy on her mind, she told the
man to wait until she put in a
phone call to some Of her friends
who might be able to rent him a
room. Instead Mrs. WEIGH called
the police department and bet.

The Dayton reviewer shows he

finds a marriage between a white

The trustees action on January

to hermit entry of Negroes TO the
university, was based upon the
''binding effect" of the U. 5. Su-
preme Courts ruling in cases con-
cerning admissions, at the UnlVer-
stiles of Oklahoma and missouri.
The university's trustees have not
reconsidered the action Of two years
ago. and are not believed likely to
do so at the present time, the uni
versitv statement pointed out.
"The university is living up to the
law, and perhaps a court interpre-
tation would be needed to deter
mine the status of the law ltself'
a university spokesman said.
1t also was suggested that con
sideration of individual transfer
applicants might show lack OF GER
tain courses which the university
requires for graduation.

all credit is withheld until the

Natures Children
BY LiIIion Cox Athey
Andean COndOrS.

Andean condors (Sacorhamphus
gryphus) are the largest birds of
prey and of fight. They are found
IN the Andes mountains of western
South America from Venezuela to
Patagonia. The male is 4 feet tall
with wing spread of 10 feet.
Condors mate for life and may live
to celebrate their golden wedding
anniversary. Both wear black
feather robes finished at the neck
with wide, white, down collars. The
male also sports handsome waffle
which swings from his neck line
like an unmoored necktie. On his
bald pate he wears a f1ashy, bright
red carbuncle, a pleasant contrast
to his ivory-tipped rn-brown bill
His eyes are pale brown. The ewes
OF his mate match his brilliant top
knot, but she wears neither comb
nor waffle and is slightly smaller.
When selecting a site for their
nursery, they go together. Usually
ledge or rock on mountain peak
is chosen. Little or no provision is
made for the comfort of the babies.
A few sticks form the mattress for
the two to three four-inch long
white eggs.
Condors have a serious mission in
life. They are scavengers who take
their calling seriously. When a
place needs cleaning up Of offensive
decaying animal matter, the lob is
tackled with zest, completed with
zeal for perfection and order. No
evidence is left.
When taking off there is a whir-
ring sound as of rushing waters.
With the exception of gaining alti-
tude there is no Tapping of wings.
The f1iers rise so high they go out
of sight; but they reappear and
zoom to earth when food is located.
The first condor raised in cap
tivity from an egg laid by captive
birds in this country, struggled from
its shell July 8, 1912, in the~San
Diego Geological Gardens. When
he was old enough to leave his par
ents, the fedgling was sold to our
ZOO, where you can see him today
happy, we'll fed, and nearing his
eighth birthday anniversary.
In order to obtain accurate rec
ords on raising baby condors, four
weeks old baby was taken from her
parents. When adopted she was a
ball of smoky-gray down with a
bit of temper. She soon Gained
down, ate amazingly large meals
and forgot to be temperamental.
When seven months old she weighed
2l pounds and had wing spread
of seven feet.

Pet Speech Peeve.

Miss Helen Galanoplos, of Newark,
N j.. comes forward with a speech
peeve in rhyme about the common
mispronunciation of the term chaise
Tongue. She'll receive an auto
graphed copy of my Practical Hand
book of Better English. Her verse
follows:
Woe Is me, oh woe is me,
No matter how I scrounge,
cannot find a person
Who will say aught but chase lounge
So let me rant. and let me rave,
think I do no wrong;
But can't these people make it right
And say it's ''shayz long?
AS I have pointed out on previous
occasions, the difficulty is caused by
seeing" the word Tongue as if il
were spelled lounge" But Tongue is
actually the French feminine ad-
iective for the world long-a chaise
is chair. Therefore, chaise Tongue
is long chair.
Now it so happens that the chaise
Tongue makes perfect lounging
chair, and this fact is so thoroughly
exed in the average mind that thf
