GOAT MAN UNMOVED
BY $200,000 LEGACY
But He Celebrates by Buying*
Raincoats for Friends.
New York. —George J. Harding, the
“gaat man” at Palisades amusement
park, refused to get excited over a j
$200,000 fortune he is said to have in
herited in England from the estate
of a great-uncle. He was more inter
ested in his goats.
“Yes,” he said. “I had word from
the lawyers over there that it’s com
ing to me. My uncle’s been dead :
six years. They’ve been litigating (
over his money ever since. I’m per
fectly contented like I am; don't care
much if I never get mine.”
But there was one little incident
to belie the calm demeanor of the
‘‘goat man.” Outwardly he was in
different to his new wealth, but he
admitted, half sheepishly', half de
fiantly, that he had gone on a splurge
and bought 25 raincoats for friends
and associates in the amusement park.
“The' boys sorta expected me to
celebrate a linAe,” he said defensive
ly. “Besides,” and there was a
twinkle in his eyes, “I believe they
ought to have something for a rainy
day.” I
Up at Westerly, R. 1., Harding who
is forty-eight years old, has a farm of
ISO acres stocked with a herd of sev
eral hundred goats.
“You know,” and the kindly "goat
man” grew wistfully confidential,
“I’ve got a theory that the casein
can be taken from goat’s milk and
crystallized, just like they make
malted milk, and that it’ll do a lot
for people that have tuberculosis.
That’s one of the things I’m work
ing on.”
Seventeen years now he has been
at Palisade park summers, hooking
up his goats to little wagons and
giving kids the thrill of their lives
by letting them ‘‘go driving.”
“I’m right well satisfied with life,”
he said, “as things are. Os course
I’ve always known I’d have to quit
working some time, but it’s hard to
break away. I’ve tried for ten years
and now I guess I’ll have to; it’s
up to me to go over, there and get
this fortune business straightened
up.” * | *
Just the same he’ll finish the sea
son at the amusement park and take
his time about going after the money.

Doctor to Aid Indian
Fight on Trachoma
Philadelphia.—Dr. L. Webster For,
prominent ophthalmologist of this
city, will again pass the summer among
the Indians of Montana to prevent the
spread of blindness from inroads made
into tlie sight of 20 per cent of them
by trachoma.
Doctor Fox left Philadelphia recent
ly for the West, where he will attend
two medical conferences in the middle
of July and give his services without
remuneration to hundreds of suffering
Indians.
In the summer of 1024 Doctor Fox
: performed remarkable operations upon
I the eyes of the Blackfeet Indians at
Browning, Mont. Out of 400 cases
practically all have been cured. Their
gratitude for his services to them was
so great that Doctor Fox was made
a chief of the tribe at an elaborate
ceremony and presented with rare
gifts of Indian art and craftsmanship.
This year he will go among the
Crow Indians at Billings, Mont. A
large percentage of the Crow tribe are
suffering from trachoma, which ap
pears to be spreading rapidly among
them.
Fireflies That Glow All
Time, Science’s Latest
New York. —Fireflies that glow all
the time, thanks to short-circuiting in
jections of adrenalin, are the latest
contribution of science. William S.
Creighton, Princeton graduate student,
who Is working under the direction
of Dr. Frank E. Lutz, curator of en
tomology and director of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History’s sta
tion for the study of insects in the
Harriman state park, made the dis- j
covery.
Mr. Creighton has found in the
course of his studies of the nature of
firefly light that heavy “shots” of
adrenalin, administered with a syringe
between the firefly’s body segments,
changed the intermittent flashing char
acteristic of these insects to a sus
tained luminosity. In some instances
he has kept individual insects “lighted
up” twenty-four hours, hut these speci
mens invariably died, presumably
through expenditure of too much vital
energy. , , i ,

, SHEIKS OF SYRIA
I WORSHIP A DEVIL
I
Taous Malak, Fallen Angel, I*
Their Patron Saint.
Aleppo, Syria.—Taous Malak, the
I "fallen angel” whom God expelled
from heaven, is the patron saint of the
slieiks —not those whose handsome
profiles thrown on the American
screen have made flappers’ hearts
flutter.
! The tribe of the Yazidies, worship
ers of satan, from which the original
sheiks sprang, are nomads living from
cattle raising. They number about
12,000 and their habitat is north of
Aleppo near the Djebel Soumann. An
other branch is to be found at Kbal
tar, a small town in the vicinity of
Diarkebir.
Sheiks claim they can trace their
ancestry from heaven, being direct de
scendants of Sliclk Charaf Eddin, or
“the moon.” Another early sheik was
Amandin, which means “pillar support
ing heaven,” while a third one was :
directly related to the sun.
Some of the present-day sheiks
claim to have the power of miracle
in rendering inoffensive the bites otf
snakes and scorpions.
“Why do you worship the devil?”
asked air* American, who hud been bit- •
ten by a poisonous insect, and, de- ?
sirous of ascertaining the miraculous
power of the slieiks, hud sent for one.
“Satan is the source of ail evil and
if we ignore him we cannot avoid his
wrath. God, on the contrary, is the
essence of kindness and therefore we
have nothing to feur from him,” was
the way the reply was translated.
There is n© divorce among the real,
j sheiks, in which they differ somewhat
from the American species.
Slieiks marry only the daughters of
other sheiks. The marriage ceremony
is very simple. It is a question of
mutual consent between the bride and
the bridegroom, expressed before one
of the older sheiks. Both newlyweds
are then branded with red ink on the
shoulders and forehead.
The sheik performing the ceremony
then takes a branch of a tree and
breaking it in two, says: 'Remain
united until death parts you as force
has broken this branch.”
Movement Launched to
Abolish Poorhouses
Des Moines, lowa. —An organized
effort to abolish the poorhouse as an
American institution will be launched
as the result of an investigation
financed by a dozen fraternal organi
zations and the United States Depart
ment of Labor.
Harry C. Evans of Des Moines, spe
cial commissioner of Secretary of La
bor Davis, in a report made public
upon a two-year nation-wide survey of
almshouses, recommends complete
abolition of the prevailing county 1
poorhouse system and the continu
ance of its essential functions in a
central home for the aged in each
commonwealth.
The present system, under which
each county maintains a separate in
stitution, is described jn the report as
“the worst mismanaged public busi
ness in the world” and “the symbol
of humanity's degradations.”
The central home plan was submit
ted, together with a detailed report of.
the survey, to the annual convention
of American Fraternal Congresses at
Buffalo, N. Y.
The suggested plan, the report said,
i "would dignify the last days of the
poor, give them a home rather than
a mere lodging bouse, where now aro
kept not only the indigent but often,
the insane, the criminal and the
feeble-minded.”
: Cross Yak and Bison
and Get the “Yakalo”
Wainwright, Alta. —The new breed
of live stock called “Yakalo” is be
ing developed in the national park
at Wainwright by grossing buffalos
with yaks.
“Yakalos” combine the meat pro
ducing qualities of the yak with the
foraging characteristics of the buffalo,
said G. B. Both well, director of the
animal husbandry division of the De
partment‘of Agriculture. The new
animals breed true to type, be said,;
and have proved more adaptable than
■‘cattalo,” evolved several years ago by
crossing buffalo with domestic cattle.
Cattalos are sterile. ••
The meat of yakalos is described as
almost identical with beef, aside from
being finer grained. The animal's are
hardy, can forage for themselves, are
capable of wintering in the open, and
are resistant to many of the common
diseases of domestic cattle.
Washerwoman Pose
of British Flapper
London, England.—The “washer
woman pose” is the British flapper’s
latest. She now assumes an arms
akimbo attitude which at one time
would have been considered inele
gant, if not vulgar, but is now con
sidered in the height of fashion.
Capes and cloaks, now mkeh in
vogue, are blamed for the new style.
When tjhey were spbnspred at the
dress displays earlier in the season
observant women noticed that the
, mannequins invariably placefd ope
hand lightly on the Idp when demon
; seating the swing of the new models.
Later the same acute women discov
. ered that what had appeared to be
; merely an effective "gesture” was an
V attitude demanded by the cut of the
; ca P es ,’ which look dowdy and uninter
esting with the arms hanging by the
,ld< *. “, Elbows out,” therefore, is the
uew rule.
