Penguin Oddity of Living Creatures Neither Whale, Fish, Seal, or Migrating Bird. Washington. ? Hear Admiral Byrd has been "officially welcomed" to the Antarctic region by the .only denizen or this southernmost part of the globe that Is not whale, flsh, seal, or migrat ing bird ? the penguin. It Is a fact that the penguin was once a true hlrd, that It can swim like a flsh. has the agility of a seal under water, and thnt It puts on all the pompous airs of a whale. Rut still It la unique among living creatures, and explorers have long considered It the official greeter,' of the Antarctic," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. ^ Wings Are Water-Win08 Only. "The welcome Admiral Byrd re ceived from the 'penguin committee,' while characteristic, was not effusive. When the penguins heard the barking o the sled dogs, they unceremoniously ropped to their bellies and scuttlfd away over the ice, their flippers work ing like connecting rods. "There nre several varieties of pen guins in the Antarctic regions, upon the Islands along the fringe of the Antarctic seas, and as far north as the southern extremities of the South American and Afrlcnn mainlands. But the most entertaining of all Is the Adelie, n species which has never been successfully transplanted from the snowy wastes of Antarctica. "The Adelie resembles nothing quite so much as a solemn, rotund, little old gentleman with a prominent nose starched shirt, and swallow-tail coat.' His wings are water-wings only, al though he goes through all the 'prep arations for n take-off. with flippers outstretched, neck extended, and tall balanced to make a two or three-foot nop from one rock to another. "This strangely manlike bird Is truly an F. p. A. (Flrst Fa, nil v of Antarctica), tracing his lineage back to those far-away days of the earth's youth before the coming of the great glaciers. Then. In a temperate or per haps even tropical climate. It is prob able that his ancestors flew like other birds. Hut as centuries passed into ages and cold crept over the land, kill ing all vegetation, the penguins were forced to seek sustenance In the sea. I he Adelie is a gregarious crea ture. In October and November (the Antarctic spring), he congregates, nmng with countless thousands of his kind, In great rookeries. There tha age-old business of choosing a mate Is his first consideration; but as with trne love elsewhere, the course of his romance Is not always smooth. Great Lovers and Scrappers. "Gentlemen penguins are not only good lovers, they are extremely pug nacious as well, and when more than one Itomeo Is attracted to the same Juliet a merry tight is likely to ensue. beaks and flippers they go for each other, delivering cuts and stabs and raining savage blows about them With such speed that the eye can hard ly follow.

Wise Hen, Eats Bugs on Auto Radiator Holland, Texas. ? A hen that wearied of barnyard fare has added a distinctly new service to the garage-filling station operated here by Virgin Hu^dleston. Tourists driving In for gas and oil usually carry a delicious supply of bugs and grasshoppers on the radiators of their automobiles. The hen hops on to the bumper and pecks out the Insects, dropping them to the ground. She tWen In spects the machine from stem to stern for other dainty bits. , When the car drives away, the hen enjoys a real meal. She roosts atop the town hearse, and nests be neath a blncksmlth's anvil. Court Admits Man's Will Signed by Fingerprints Philadelphia. Pa. ? A will signed with fingerprints recently was admit ted to probate here. It was the will of Abraham Buck man, signed with three fingers of Buck- , man's right hand. A similar signature i on file at a bank was used to verify the will. "It was a most Interesting case." said an official of the fingerprint bu reau at city hall. "The will was ac cepted for probate, and that very fact opens new fields for the elaborate sys tem of fingerprinting we have in this country." A Bed Warmer Ilolllster, Calif. ?

Hurled beneath the placid wheat fields of Palestine lies the remains of a great city which was lev eled by invaders at least four or five times and restored to its former gran deur after each invasion. It was the city of Heth Shemesh In Aln Shems. Situated on important trade routes between Egypt, Palestine and Syria, the city nourished between 1800 and 000 B. C. Five archeologlcal expeditions from Ilaverford college have delved Into the ruins 20 feet be low the waving wheat. A sixth expe dition Is being arranged for next year. Findings of the fifth expedition now are being collected under the direction , of Prof. F.lihu Crant, director of the Census Shows Apple to Be Most Popular in Pie New York. ? A nationwide census of pie-eaters, Involving an analysis of 12, 000, (XX) meals, shows that apple Is the most popular. Among pies, apple Is the men's choice in all parts of the country. Women also prefer apple pie In the east, hut In the west they show a slight preference for lemon meringue. The pie census, reported by the Woman's Home Companion, indicates that cherry pie is growing rapidly In favor everywhere In America, fn fact, cherry Is going ahead so fast that. If It continues lis present rate of gain, It may he expected to outstrip apple pie in about 6f> years. The most popular luncheon menu in America today consists of' a sand wich, a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. The pie industry, however, has suf fered quite seriously from the depres sion of the last four years. Americans eat one-third fewer pies now than they did at prosperity's peak, Th"y ate $7.1,000,000 worth of pie In 1020, but only OOO.OOO worth last year. The 20 most popular pies, after apple, cherry and lemon meringue, are: Pineapple, mince, pumpkin, prune, cus tard, raisin, rhubarb, strawberry, cran berry, chocolate, apricot, coconut, blackberry, raspberry, cream, date, huckleberry, cheese, squash and peach.

BRISBANE THIS WEEK Trouble, Lots of It Civil War Widespread Moscow Looks On Gangsters in Style Civil war In Austria provides big and unpleasant news. Hundreds aro shot, the government of the energetic little anti-Communist and antl-Hltler dictator, Herr Dollfuss, fighting sav agely against the Austrian Socialist Workmen's party. Dollfuss hitherto has been lighting to keep the German Nazis and their Influence out of Aus tria, struggling to prevent, first, po litical and, next, territorial absorption by Germany. Now the light Is at home. Socialist workmen Intrenched In the "Karl Marx" apartment house In Vienna, a huge, lour-mllllon-dollar structure, big gest apartment house In Europe, used machine guns, hand grenades and gas against Austrian troops. Later Austrian cannon battered down the big apartment house, hous ing 2,000 men, women and children, killing many of them. Twenty years ago the big war was starting, with Austria striking back after the murder of the Ilapsburg heir apparent, dragging Europe and this country Into a gigantic war. It could have been avoided by hanging the Serbian murderer and a little com monsense talk. With heavy howitzers bombarding apartments filled with hundreds of working men's families in Vienna, sav age fighting in other Austrian cities, Russia and Japan getting ready for a war that will give Asia an Imitation of the big war, France and Spain wor ried by strikes and uprisings of Mon archists, Socialists, Communists, no news seems important except assorted war news. Needless to say, the Communistic government at Moscow watches with eager pleasure events in Austria and France. Russia's otlicial newspaper, l'ravdu, writes enthusiastically, "cheer ing the fighting workers in both coun tries and demanding a united front of the workers." I'ravda says: "The demonstrations and general strikes in France and Austria show the revolutionary forces against Fasc ism are rising and ripening." Police, In Baltimore, arresting Basil Banghart, called "The Owl," were amazed to see the hardened criminal turn white, shaking with fear, sub mitting without a struggle. This was explained when Banghart said he thought "rival gangsters had closed In on him." Had he known it was "only the police" he would not have been frightened. If his captors had really been enemy gangsters he would have lived loss than another half-hour, and knew It. Gangsters know how to en force respoct for their gang laws. Banghart, Indicted for kidnaping John Factor, occupied two"\ suites of apartments. Two women t'were ar rested In the apartments, ~l\md police found there $12,405 In $5 bills. Gang sters prefer small hills, that attract little attention. Pollco found also two submachine guns, seven revolvers, one sa wed-off shotgun, one rifle. "The Owl" was prepared. Production of automobiles In the United Slates and Canada for January Increased 78 per cent compared with last year, and the figures do not In clude the Ford production, which hns increased rapidly. Henry Ford Increas ing the pay of many workers at the same time. The automobile is the best, surest test of returning prosperity, for the intelligent American, as soon as he Is able, gets a new car. Verne Sankey, recently termed "Pub lic Enemy No. 1," was a kidnaper, knew he would go to prison for life, hanged himself with two neckties and died. He couldn't have 'done thnt in France. When thlsAvriter went to see John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell, locked up for prize lighting nt Senlls, both had been deprived of their neck ties and silk handkerchiefs, ns the Jnll or politely put It, pour cvlter toute pos slhlllte qu'lls ne se pendent ? "to avoid all possibility of their hanging them selves." That was the rule in France then. Uncle Sam spends freely, lends freely to states and corporations. How much of the money lent will come back, or does that make no difference? In one state a large loan Is request ed, to give employment by building an expensive armory. In another state, private Individuals request Uncle Sam to supply money to hulld a great race track, with stables and nil that goe* with racing and gambling. It appears that while the borrowing In good whoever can will borrow for any purpose thnt can be Invented, j Many borrowers seem not to worry about payment.

How the Kingdom Was Received i (ch. 11). I In showing the attitude of the peo ple toward the king and his kingdom "our classes of hearers are described. I. The perplexed hearers, like John the Baptist (vv 2 11). t J?hn believed that Josus was the Christ (v. 2) but was somewhat per- I plexed as to the manner of the estah | I llshment of the kingdom. In the Old 1 l Testament predictions two lines In rtie I I Messianic prophecies nre presented. I The one Rets him forth as the suffer- I Ins on** (isa. r?;t) ; the other as the Invincible conqueror dsn 50:3). in ? deed, in Isaiah r,0;l. 2 we have the | ; two advents In one view (Luke 4:17- ' i -1). The Baptist had In his preaching I mainly emphasized the prophecies which made the king to he n mighty j eonqueiur (Matt, rt : 10- 1 -J) He said the j a\*e is laid unto the root of the tree; i that the chaff was to he separated I from the wheat and the elm IT burned. ? John saw Christ as the one who would | remove the sins of his people by the i sheddiivj of his blood (John 1 :27), hut be failed to see the interval between the time of his suffering and the time ??f his triumph. John's faith was not , failing him. neither did he send this i deputation to Jesus for the sake of his disciples, lie was a true prophet and ' o faithful man but was perplexed. J 2. The violent hearers (vv. 12-10) ' i These were willing to receive the king- j dom according to their own way hut i were not willing to conform to Its laws ' j They were' ready to seize It with vlo- | j lent hands. Christ had told them he fore the coming of John the Baptist Hie prophets and the law were the ! j source of ascertaining the divine will ! and that If they would receive John j be would he the Klijah to lead them 1 Into the kingdom age. Their ears were i I closed to everything hut their own self, j tab desires. They would not repent when called upon to do so by John, nor ' rejoice when called upon to do so hv ' Christ (vv. 17-10).

The Antagonism to the King and the Kingdom (ch. 12). The immediate occasion for their wicked determination was what Christ dbl on the Sabbath day. | 1.

To [ their cavils Josus replied nnd showed ' that Cod's purpose |? Instituting the ' Sabbath was to serve man's highest i Interests. j 2. The Pharisees hold a council to ' j destroy him (v 14) 3. Blasphemy against the Holy I Ohosf. the unpardonable sin (vv 22 j | 82). The occasion of their blasphemy I was the casting out of the demon The efTect of this work was twofold. a. Upon the multitude (vv 22 ''.'{) They were amazed and cried out: "Is not this the son of David?" Implxlng that his mighty works Indicated him to he the Messiah h. Upon the Pharisees (vv 2I-.T>) When they heard what the people were saying their amrer and satanlc malice were aroused They did not deny the miracle but sought to account for If without acknowledging him as the I Messiah. Therefore they affirmed that , he wns In league with the devil Christ exposes their folly and charges ff ! with awful guilt. They attributed the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil This Christ calls blasphemy against rhe Holy Ohost, for which there Is no nardon. Tli* Highest Power Kveryone likes to be powerful.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS It may now be taken as definitely proved that one way of contracting infantile paralysis, pei haps the most usual way, Is through the nose. Noth ing happens to the mucous membrane of the nose. The olfactory nerve cells which lie In the membrane and which constitute the smelling mech anism are attacked. Passing along the nerve fibers, the virus reaches the olfactory lobe or smelling region of the brain and ultimately pusses to other parts of the brain and thence to the spinal cord. Thus another step has been taken in conquering a disease to which children are an es pecial prey. Ferry's Seeds are sold only in fresh dated packages.
