With Intelligent control to avoid'local damage to valuable timber apdother property and with wise reatraintto prevent the dispersal of beavers'over surrounding country, the usualcomplaints of damage can be elimi-nated.- On some of the national forest*feaavers are already present and Innlsjces Increasing la numbers, bat mostat ihe animals are- the -wasters, pale,"native varletloa. worth lesa than thechoice, dark, prime fur bearers whichmight be Introduced from other aec-tlons.

Paris news relating t» spring mtt-Unery foretells a vogue for towers,feathers and ribbon for trimmings.These, which go with an .elaboratestyle, appear to have come as answersto the dew* of designers to get swayfrom the. limiting Influence of theplain felt cloche. Their desire hasbeen reinforced at last by the demandwomen of fashion are making for hatsof straw .and the lighter materials.These must be trimmed In some man-ner, observes a fastton writer In theMew York Tiroes, and hence the long-desired opportunity for freedom Inornamentation baa arrived. An ex-clusive modiste who recently arrivedfrom Paris with models from the au-thoritative designers answered the re-quest for millinery news concisely:-Flowers, feathers, ribbon, straw."

The utmost chic Is expressed In thesmall hat, which is drawn tightly overthe head to a close fit across the top,covering the brow to the eyes andaround to the ears completely. It sug-gests the headdress of a court Jester,some of the models having'an elfishand otfiers almost a Mephlstophrilanappearance. The original %eems to-have been Inspired by the aviator'sheadpiece, being fitted so fiat and solow over the ears In some esses thatside flaps are emphasised In the trim-ming.

Toque of Shellacked Violate.One of the most dressy of the new

toques Is made all of shellackedviolets on a frame which Is higher Inthe middle and fits very close and lowover the ears. This model Is done inblack and white, one side of the toquebeing aU black, the other solidly white,with the violets sewn close together.

On a dose cap shape of black bakustraw a pattern of oak leaves made ofclre ribbon Is appllqued unevenly, witha larger leaf placed to cover each ear.A turban, entirely brimless, Is fittedclosely to the head but made slightlyhigher and covered solidly with clreribbon In small, stiff, overlappingloops. • .

An evening hat which presupposesbobbed hair because of Its smalt slseand snug shape Is made of a lacystraw called charm, made in an open,medallion pattern.. This covers thehair completely and has deep flapsover the ears that rest on the cheeks.This model Is likely to be seen Inmany variants during the spring sea-son, for It U having a wide vogue InParis.

While It would be obviouslyunwise to .restore the animals to cul-tivated fields and orchards In agricul-tural areas, there are still many lo-calities where they could be Intro-duced without harm.

Their restoration Is advocated un-der conditions rather different fromwhat the old-time beavers knew. Thesurvey forecasts the time when beav-ers, like foxer, terrapins and othercreatures from, the wilds, will beraised on farms. Beaver culture, Vf.asserts will develop Into a profitableindustry; through domestication theanimal will again beteome a source ofbenefit.

By fencing and trapping, beaversmay be restricted to areas where thedestruction they work Is of no conse-quence; and whatever trees are thenmay be protected by strips of wovenwire. Under control, beavers are ca-pable of high usefulness. Their damsstore water In reservoirs along moua

Of the prevalence of the tobaccohabit In America, the botanist DoCandotle has written: "At the time ofthe discovery of America, the customof smoking, snuff-taking, jand/chewlngtobacco was diffused o v e r t * greaterpart-of this vast continent The In-habitants of South America aid not -smoke, bur chewed tobaeeo. or tooksnuff, except In the Argentine district,Uruguay, and Paraguay, where noform of tobacco was used, to NorthAmerica, from Panama as far as whatara now Canada and California, thecustom of smoking was universal, andcircumstances show that It was alsovary ancient Pipes In great numbersand of wonderful workmanship bavobeen discovered In the tombs of theAxtecs to Mexico and In the moundsof the United 8tates> Some ot theserepresent animals foreign to NorthAmerica."

Of many varieties of nleoteanaknown, sll but two are native toBooth America. These two are hot*minor exceptions, one found m theDutch West indies, but never used byman, and the other Is the We of Pines,off the coast ot Java. '

Despite the addiction of Asiatics totobacco," none of them bad It beforethe discovery of America.

Tobacco was Introduced Into suchtar easteri countries as Java andJapan by the Portuguese explorersand traders of the Sixteenth andSeventeenth centuries. It Is Importantthat the Chinese have no ancient char-acter for "tobacco" In their writingsand that It Is represented In tneirpaintings only from about the yearim •

The) Garden Pern

THERE are a. number ot wildvetches and lupins, but no plant

that can be identified with the gardenpea has ever been found growing wild.Botanists are Inclined-to-ascribe Itsorigin from the region south of theCaucasus whence the Aryans cameInto Europe, and there U evidencethat It Is st least as old, used as hu-man food, as the Aryan-Invasion. ItIs not sTplant ot China or of-ancient,India. Unless It originated south ofthe Caucasus and was carried westby the Aryans It may have come fromthe north shore of the Mediterranean,where a number of plants of the genus"plsum" do grow wild at the presenttime.

Those who think of modern gardendelicacies as something of relativelyrecent origin may add the garden peato the list ot plants whose seeds orperfectly Identifiable remains bavobeen found In the rubbish heaps of theSwiss lake dwellers, persons who be-longed, to the age of broase, beforeIron and. steel were known tftdvUlsedman. Peas found in the Bronte ageremains differ slightly In ishsjs fromthe modern garden pea, but are prob-ably the same. One scientist. Beer,offers proof that be found peas InStone age remains, which would placeIts European use at a point prior tothe coming of the Aryans. If this isso the~garden pen probably originatedIn more than one place, In Europe,and In the region, of western Asiawhence the Aryan's came.

their creators were laid down."One of the most striking of these

creations Is the so-called Treasury ofPharaoh,' a product of the Greek pe-riod several centuries before ChristThe front of the edifice stands In deeprelief. Its pillars, capitals, pedimentand superstructure Intact A door-way leads Into the cliff from whichroom* were hollowed.

"Another carved masterpiece Is therock-hewn Greek theater that seatedsome n,000 spectators. Temples alsoare rnrved In the cliffs; but the mostnumerous of the monuments aretombs. Thousands of them look downon the Petra plain, many showing themost elaborate and exquisite carving.

Ancient Distributing Center."I'etra has been called by poets the

•rose-red city half as old as time.'. Itsdeeply colored walls—rose, purple,yellow, crimson—are Indeed beauti-ful ; und the skillful use of the col-ored strata In the carvings shows thatthe I'etra artists made the most of theesthetic possibilities. But Petra didnot exist for beauty alone. If It hadpossessed a chamber of commerce InIts heyday of Importance, that organ-ization could have boasted truthfullythat Petra waa 'the world's premierdistributing center* and that Ita week-ly 'bank clearings' ran into many hun-dreds of talents.

."The city was the Sues and. Panamaof its day, a meeting place for thechief trade routes. Incense, spices andother treasures of the East came fronrIndia, Persia, and farther Arabia tothis 'safety deposit city' of the desertFrom there goods were distributed toEgypt, Palestine and Syria, andthrough lyre and Sldon to the Medi-terranean countries to the west Animportant special traffic. of' the citywas the furnishing of Dead sea bltumen to the embalmers of Egypt

"How far Petra reaches back Intoantiquity Is. not known, but Its his-tory ts at least known sketchlly fromabout 600 B. C. It Is now suggestedthat the more anoient town may haveserved as a distributing center for thereligious Ideas of the East as Its suc-cessor served In forwarding Easterngoods."

American League FlagRace Will Be Hard Ono

Miller Huggins says the Ameriiimleague pennant race of 1028 will. n»tbe a repetition of the pennant ra«-i>of 1027. "There will be no walkawayfor New tork this season," he prophe-sied.

Hoggins believes that Washingtonand Philadelphia will make a race ofIt Instead of a New York parade. Heexplains:

"Washington Is stronger than It waslast season and so Is Philadelphia.

"George Sister will help Washing-ton. Gaston will make a strong pitch-ing staff all the stronger.

"TrlB Speaker "will make the Phil-adelphia outfield. Connie Mack hasfine pitching. Grove and Walberg, twoof his lefthanders, are going to makea whole lot of trouble this season.

"Connie Mack bought Robert MosesGrove from Baltimore for $100,000.The terms of the sale gave him 10yean In which to pay the money. Hebands over $10,000 every, year and hesaves that by refusing to take on $10,-000 worth of untried material offeredhim by minor league clubs.

"When Mack agreed to pay $100,-000 for Grove, I thought he made aterrible bargain," said Huggins, "butnot any more. I'd like to make aterrible' bargain like that right now."

Goats Replace Dogs ~:. in Laboratory Work :

Tuscaloosa, Ala. — Resource-,fulness Is as necessary In thescientific laboratory as It la InIndustry.

Dogs are among the most val-uable animals for laboratorystudy In the medical sciences.In the South, however, they aredifficult to obtain. Regardlessof their lack of any sort of adignified pedigree, hardly any-'body is willing to part withthem, even for~a good price inthe Interest of training phy-sicians and surgeons to. allevi-ate the Ilia of human beings.

No such sentimental feeling,-;however, attaches-to goats. Andthey abound In the South. SoDr. George T. Peck, of the Uni-versity 'of Alabama Medicalachool, has turned to these

~mammala for experimental workIn surgery and pathology, find-ing them valuable substitutesfor doga and much less expen-

> slve. They a n not only as easyI-to handle as dogs, be has

', tlons well and their reactions' In certain pathological expert-'< mentv are ..satisfactory.

One of the Best laved of Americanstatesmen, waa Abraham' Liaoau.tho sixteenth President of tbe UnitedState*. Today his countrymen honorhim as tbe man who saved the Amer-ican republic from disunion, and'gavethe black man his freedom. Morethan this, he stands as the supremetype of the democratic statesman.

Lincoln was born February 12.1800, in Kentucky. He was broughttip In a log cabin with his entireschooling covering not more than ayear. By birth and by training hewas in a literal sense a man of thecommon people. Before,he becameof age he had reached hi* greatheight of six feet.Jour laches,-vln 1831, he was hired by JohnHanks, a relative, to help take aboatload of goods down the Missis-sippi to New Orleans. This was Lin-coln's first extended Journey fromborne, and it was of some Importance

,In that it gave him his first view ofslavery. After his return", in 1832,he enlisted In the Black Hawk JVsr.serving from April to June.,1 He studied law for three years and

was elected to the lower house ofthe state legislature in 1834, retain-ing his seat until 1842. In the cam-paign of 1836 he went on record ason advocate of woman suffrage. Hewas also forming his views on slav-ery, which he opposed. Hethen.be-

•lieved, however, that Congress couldnot under the Constitution interferewith slavery where it existed. In1846 he won a Congressional seatand served one term. ,.

For several years Lincoln was ab-sorbed In his practice, but the great

ship, while the grief of the people ofthe North, who had considered him jtheir truest friend, was almost too:great for expression. He was.bOriedin Springfield, Illinois, and as lmpos- ]ing monument marks the »yot Ini1922, the XJneohvMemorial, at Wash-jlngton, 1>. C in the form of a Greek jtemple of white marble, was dedicat-ed by the Nation to his enduringmemory. •

TO USE PHONE ENTIRELY

Telephone and Printer Will ReplaceAll Communication 8y%tems .

Except Mall In Two YearsI on New Haven RoadBy the end of 1929, the New York,'

New Haven and Hartford railroadwill use no other form of wire com-munication .than the' telephone forany purpose,, with the .exception ofthe "printer," an instrument similar!to the telephone typewriter of theConnecticut police, for use in generalmessage service -between divisionalpoints. According to H. A. Shepard,General Superintendent of ElectricalTransmission and Communication ofthe New Haven, train dispatching onthe New Haven road for more than ayear operated entirely by telephonehas been found very efficient. - TheNew Haven is the first railroad Inthe United States to make exclusiveuse of the telephone for that purposeand to eliminate the telegraph andother forms of communication bavin?to do with the direction and the [routing of trains.

Since the New Haven Is the thirdlargest passenger carrier In the Unit-I'd -Statesr extensive changes in its

two most popular forms are a sec-tion of bamboo with a silt and firm-ly sealed on both ends, and tbeother Is a carefully hollowed andpolMied coconut. Tbe bamboobank U called an "Arganela" andthe coconut a Tabo." Both arepretty S>«M1 at defying the at- ,tempts of dilMrfn to get at thecontents, ueramte they are very dif-ficult to break.

Although coin banks are notwidely used in the Argentine thereis one form which serves.a doublepurpose, particularly In the In*terior of the country. This la anartistically decorated gourd whichthough primarily Intended aa a re-ceptacle for tea drinking la some-times converted Into a coin bank.Ttte tea drunk in the Argentine laknown as "mate." It Is sippedfrom tbe gourd by meant of ametal tube called a -BombUla."Tbe gourd of tea passed from oneto the other at table is considereda gesture of real friendship andregard.

Dolls and animals, attractivelycolored, are very popular aa de-signs for children's coin banks InFrance. Singapore uses no designtypical of that section of tbeworld, the favorite receptacle be-ing a tin can with a silt at thetop.—Exchange. *

Four English hoys went to batheIn Ingleturre itoiid, near Aacot,Ensluud.

At that Instanta large null came un, and took thewhole hand In Its mouth, but find-ing Itself unable to swahow it, re-linquished its bold,'and the boy,turning round, pjepan.il for ahasty retreat. His companions, whosaw the fish, scrambled out of the'pond as faxt as posslole.

Henry bad scarcely turned roundbefore the fish came up behind,and, seising his other hand cross*wine, inflicted some very deepwounds on the back of It The ladraised his free hand, which waastill bleeding, and struck tbe fish ahard blow on the head, when it dis-appeared. The other boys took himto a surgeon, who dressed sevenwounds In one band, and so greatwas the polu the next day that thelad fainted twice. The little fingerwas bitten through'the nail and Itwas more than six weeks before itwas well.

slavery controversy could not fail to*awaken his.Interest in political is-sues. In the organisation of the newRepublican party Lincoln stood outas the leading figure from IHinois,and in the national convention of'1856 his name was mentioned for"Vice-President.

Two years later came the famousLincoln-Douglas debates, by which

own ^system mark an important de-velopment in the whole railroadingindustry. The pinneerliiRexperi-ments of the load along this line, anin other lines, have been'.followedby other large railroads in the UnitedStateB and abroad.

Lincoln attracted the attention of thewhole country. In them he displayedan exceptional shrewdness, and itwas not long before his name wasprominently mentioned as a candi-date for President. His famousCooper' Union speech in 1860 at NewYork made him the most conspicu-ous figure in Republican politics, andat-the convention; at Chicago he wasnominated upon a vigorous' anil-slavery platform. TI10 campaignwhich followed was one of the mostimportant in tho history of the Unit-ed States.

His electloji was the signal for se-cession by. South Carolina. The ac-tion was taken In December, andSouth Carolina was followed by the"Gulf States and within a few monthsby four pthers. Lincoln was Inaug-urated March -I, 1861, and hi a'mem-orable address he urgotl tile people)f all sections to unite In upholdingthe Union. He called to his Cabinetall Ills principal rivals In tho Chicagoconvention, and by every means inhis power he tried to prevent a war."His efforts wore In vain, however,and on April 14 the war began withthe bombardment of Fort Sumter.

Throughout tho Civil War Lincolndisplayed that firmness, generosityand foresight which he had shownir.'his previous career. Though hehated slavery as an Inhuman andundemocratic Institution, he statedpublicly in August, 1862, "My para-mount object is to save the Union, Itis not either to save or to destroyslavery/' When he became convincedthat the nation could never endurehalf slave and half free, he decidedon one of the most Important stepsof his career, the Issuance of theEmancipation; Proclamation. Thisdecision had the effect of uniting andstrengthening the anti-slavery peopleof the North, and it gave the govern-ment increased Influence abroad.

Though the North had been fight-Ing the first two years of the warwithout any signs .of success, it wasencouraging when- Meade checkedLee at Gettysburg, and Grant cap-tured Vicksburg, in the summer or1S63: In November, 1863.

"come a classic o£*Americun litera-ture. These stirring events -werefollowed by the appointment orGrant as commander in chief of theUnion armies, and the Presidentialand Congressional elections of 1864.

In his second Inaugural addressLincoln again rose to an idealismrarely equaled In American oratory,and In closing he uttered words thatcould come only from the mind andheart of a truly great man: "Withmalice toward none/with charity forall, with firmness in the right asGod gives us to see the right,-let us.strive on to finish the work we arein; to bind up the nation's wounds,to care for him who shall have bornetbe battle, and for his widow, and forhis .orphan—to da all .which mayachieve and cherish a Just and last-ing peace among ourselves, and withall nations." .

Risked Life SeekingIdea* for Explosives

When in 1864 Emmanuel Nobel, jthe Swedish inventor, was expert- jmeriting with explosives and his <building blew up, killing one of .jhis sons and several other persons, ;the government forbade him to ,continue'.the dangerous work. •

However, he bought a scow nnaanchored it in Luke Mnlur, nnd jthere-'lie and his-son, Alfred, best iknown today for the Nobel prizes, >continued their experiments that jwere to revolutionize the explosive-;Industry and.prepare the wiiy for !modern high explosives. '<

It wus on this old bout Unit Al-fred inude'the" discovery that hisliquid explosive, nitro-sljcerln,could be mixed with an Inert por-ous substance such as clay andob.alk, thus making an explosivethat was much more powerful andmuch more safely handled, as itwas In solid form. It was not till1878 that this explosive, to whichhe gave the name "dynamite;* wasperfected. Before long there werefactories In all leading countriesmaking It

He also brought out other formsof explosives, including the firstsmokeless powder. Nobel believedIn mildness and peace and regret-ted that his Inventions were putInto use by anarchists and otherswho employed them for evil pur-poses. He also regretted that theywould be called Into service tomake war more destructive andterrible.—Kansas City Star.

Dominated Athens byVirtue of Her Intellect

The pulchritude of Aspnslu is amutter of dispute among liistorl-uus» but those who claim that shewas a raving beauty, nnd those who-set forth the opposite—that shewas a severely plain woman—agreethat she was the voice buck of thesilver tongue of Pericles nnd thefountain of much of the wisdom ofSocrates,

According to Plutarch she was asplendid conversationalist and byhe* Intellect she virtually ruled themen of Athens. Aspersions of thebitterest degree were thrown upon,her character by some poets of hertime, especially those envious oneswho desired to Injure Pericles, butmost Athenians believe in her pu-rity and certainly In her wisdom re-gardless of her actions. Husband*and their wives came to her forcounsel and the, sitting aa a courtof Justice, smoothed out the roughplaces for them.

By dint of Ingenuity and per-sistence, Isaac carved the piece oflead Into shape with a pen knife.

Standing before, a broken mir-ror to the steaming stokehold, per-

When, during the war, be per-formed what was considered the mostastounding navigation feat of alt time,his friends harked back, to bla dayato Sag Harbor and later to Greenport.when, salting tiny homemade vessels,he would brave' the heavy tide cur-rents that swept Into narrow Inlets.

The Leviathan, to the war days, ar-rived to New York during a strike oftugboat men. No pilots were avail-able, either.- Gray-headed officers onthe Leviathan shook their heads.Thousands of troops were waiting tobe transported. The Leviathan mighthave to wait at quarantine for daya,perhaps for a week.

T o the blazes with all your tug-boats," shouted Cunningham, who wasthen navigating officer of the Levia-than, at the age of thirty-five. "Welltake her to ourselves." And so Cun-ningham personally took charge ofthe great ship whose very slse hasbaffled many a skilled pilot and tookher Into her pier without a pilot andwithout a tug.

Captain Cunningham bad a birth-day recently. HI* luck, he believes,arises from the fact that he waa bornon the leapiest day of leap year.

Frank R. Kent, political writer ofthe Baltimore Sun and one of themost experienced of observers In theUnited States—not a Republican andnot a Hoover supporter in the middleof last January pointed out the prob?able success of Hoover because ofthree things:

1. All the fellows In politics whodo not want anything for themselveswant Hoover.

2. More men and women want tosee Mr. Hoover In the White Housethan want to-see any other Republi-can.

3. The way ln whlqh Hoover hasfurthered his own political fortunesduring these past seven years hasbeen by not concerning himself Inthe least about them, by maintaininga rigid, intense, complete loyalty tohis chief, by doing a very remarkableJob in a way that compelled recogni-tion in every part of the country.

That as the point of view in themiddle of January. Now, a monthlater, we find politicians falling overthemselves in various parts- of theUnited States to join the Hooverbandwagon.—Fresno (Calif.) Repub-lican! • p . - • " . '

Two veracious persons who wattedabroad last Sunday less than 40mUes to the south ot this city,sawtwo robins.. The day was sunny andthe birds seemed altogether satisfiedThey did-not look as if they had suf-fered from lack ot food. The'placewhere they- were discovered abound-ed in briar-tangles and not very faraway there must have been red" ce-dars and Jnnipers. affording bothfood and shelter.
