"Counter-Shading" Noted in Bird, Animal Kingdom It may have puzzled you, If you have ever thought about It, that so many animals are colored darker above than below, says a writer In the St. Louis j Globe-Democrat. The tiger ana ice leopard are shaded so that their backs are darker than their bellies. Most birds, too, are darker above than below. One susjiects that Nature has her reasons, as she always has, but It was only recently that scientists dis covered the principle of coloration she used a principle which is called "counter-shading." In the fields and forests, light comes from above, and If you were drawing an object and wanted to make it look round and stand out from its back ground you would naturally shade the color from bright above to dark be low, where the shadows are. It Is their "counter-shading" which makes so many birds difficult to see. Nor Is It an accident that the leopard has spots and the tiger has stripes, though both hunt in daylight and take little or no trouble to hide. But the leopard crouches In the tree tops where his spots look like the splotchy dark leaves against the bright er sky-and handsome and brilliant as he Is, It takes a sharp eye to see him up In the branches. Ills camou flage is perfect. The tiger, on the other hand, hunts on the ground-in bushy thickets and high grasses and his stripes look hardly different from these. A sudden rustling of the brush and the tiger emerges, ready to pounce where there seemed only the quiet sunshine and shadow of reeds and grasses before. No wonder this tawny cat who has the talent of making himself invis ible strikes terror Into man and beast. The zebra, too, who looks so com ical and odd In the pen at the zoo, fits beautifully Into the reeds and grasses of his native home. s, Alma Patton, Marion l Sf i but . 1 Jr ---ft --k -A'-' ' ' : . 125,'lMlt'i - can shut prizes $2,00 2.00 1.00 2.00 2.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends for their kindness and beautiful floral of ferings at the time of the deaths of our beloved parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John P.

FAMILIES WASHINGTON. I). C The Cen sus Bureau came forward last week, with some interesting figures about children. In 1930 there were 23,352, 990 intact marriages (that is, un touched by death or divorce.) They fell into these categories: Childless 7,447,328. One child 5,254,963. Two children 4,246,459. Three children 2,650,730. Four Or more 3,753,610. There were fewer children in city than in rural families. More negro couple were childless than whites. This euuntry has , many motor busses in operation. A in. in of ordinary strength old a five foot alligator's jaws' with thumb and finger.

' Hosts Had Tray of Coins for Departing Visitors Because of the difficulty of travel in South and Central America, before the coming of the railroads and the open ing of highways, on the country estates the owners always looked after the passing traveler, as hotels were un heard of; and this had Its defects as well as Its advantages, for the traveler was dependent upon the good will of his host as well as on the size of his establishment. Most of the reports which have come to us show, however, no lack of good will. It Is said that more than one wealthy man used to keep his gold stored In the attic, uncounted, but ready to Joan to friends without interest or security. There are descriptions, also, of early travelers in California being sent off on the best horse belonging to the hacienda where they had stopped for the night; and apparently it was the fashion for the hneiendado to leave a tray of silver coins, covered with a cloth, on a table In his guest room,: from which one might draw, but was not expected to take more than enough for Immediate need. Even before the United States took over the government In Calif oruia, in 1S4S, this practice bad nearly disap peared, because of unscrupulous trav elers and promoters from the states who had not hesitated to misuse Span ish hospitality. Such has been the sad fate of many line old customs. Wash ington Post. The Charter Oak The Charter Oak In Hartford, Conn., was blown down in August, 1SC0, when its age was computed to be nearly 1,000 years. The tradition relating to it Is as follows: When Sir Edmund Andros was appointed governor general of New England, he came to Ilartford In 1GS7 to receive the Colonial char ter. This the colonists were loath to surrender, but, appearing to submit, carried it to the council chamber. Dur ing the debate, the lights were extin guished and In the ensuing confusion the document was carried from the room to its hltftng place In the hollow of the tree. Here It remained until 10S0, when the deposition of Andros made further concealment unnecessary, lniu Not Out in England Even wtth construction of modern hotels in England the oldiegendary Inn is still a flourishing Institution. Some of them are so old that although half a dozen existing Inns make individual claim to being the oldest in England, each of them started In business so far back that none can produce records inai wouia prove its claim. Life Span Growing Longer During the 50 years beginning with l'sso the population of the United States of America increased 140 per cent as shown by the ceasus of that year and of 1930, But the number of persons over sixty-five years old In creased approximately 000 per cent during the some period. This length ening of the life span Is not due wholly to improvement In medical sci ence, sanitation and living conditions generally, observes a writer In Capper's weekly. Restricted immigration and a declining birth rate also have had their effect. There were nearly 7,000,000 persons over sixty-five years old In a population of 122,900.000 in 1930. Oil of Tree Valuable Recent discoveries by chemists Indi cate the oil of the oiticlca tree is prob ably destined to play an important role h the future of the protective coating Industry of the world. The tree which grows wild in the valleys of Assu and Apody of South America, lives to be more than 100 years old and reaches a height of 00 feet or more. The seed or kernel of the fruit contains about CO per cent of a fairly light-colored oil resembling tung oil in odor and In many of its chemical and physical properties.;.- It will probably be used largely in the manufacture of spr var nish and enamel. 5c0d4 to Strike Oil Colorado was the second state t strike oil in the United States.
