ANIMALS IN ETHIOPIA

Thus, who have I 1 caravans into
Kihiopia. or who have had any contact
with the people at all, tell ns that the
I
natives tor the most part treat I heir i
animals conshlerat ely. In fact the]
children and animals live together in
carefree companionship. '
The little mudwalled cahins with J
grass rooof usually consist of three'
rooms, and one of these is reserved j
for the smaller animals. Large uni-'
nulls are kept in a shelter called a ,
thorn botna. They have to he secure-1

t
prowl about and wound or kill any i
animal they can reach.
The Emperor Hallo Selassie, is very
fond of dumb creatures, and a small j
playful dog is his constant coin pan-J
ion Cubs, small monkeys, and other
t pets keep the royal grounds full of j
excitement
One sees a great variety of animals
in Ethiopia. Mules and horses are
plentiful, and do much of the work.
Fine Arabian steeds, gaily decorated,
carry the many chiefs about, and
horses of humbler breed transport
heavy louds of hides, firewood, and
other materials along rocky trails.
| When the roads are too dangerous,
mules are used, as they are very sureI
footed. Despite their size they have
great endurance, and can carry large
packs a great distance. In the rainy
season it Is often necessary for both
1 horses and mules to ford streams, and
I this is one part of the Journey that
finds no favor with them.
| Oxen are the mainstay of the Ethij
opian householder. They pull the old
j fashioned forked-stick plow, and then
when the grain is ripe they thresh it
by treading upon it, Just as was done
in Biblical times. A variety of millet,
called teff, is the principal crop. The
! women grind the flour at home in a
rude stone mill, and muke their bread
in two large pancako-likc louvt^s.
' There is an abundant supply of the
humpbacked variety of cattle in Ethiopia.
and countless sheep graze on

vice the specialist bases on data he
I has secured from a comparison of
(early and late hatched chicks and a
comparison of the relation of percentage
of fall egg production, labor income,
and other factors.
'"These comparisons clearly show,"
says Mr. Gooding, that early hatched
chicks make more profitable layers
than late hatched chicks.
"These comparisons indicate that a
: high egg production during the fall
^ months means a high labor income.
It is known that early hatched pullets
arc the heaviest producers of fall eggs.

have more influence on the fall egg

WHERE WE GET 8PONGE8
Tarpon Springs, Fla., Gives Us Most
Of Our 8upplies.
Flush of a gold cross sinking
through the blue waters of Springs
Bayou, the splashing of divers who
leap to recover it and bring it to
shore, then lite blessing of the Greek
church for the lucky rescurer?January
tl brings Greek Cross Day again
to Tarpon Springs, Flu. Thus at
Kpiphany do the Greek sponge divers
enter upon a new year of the dangerous
calling.
"Colorful pageantry of Old World
religious ceremonies, church banners,
release of a white dove, parades, and
brass bands have, for about 3d years,
attracted visitors to Tarpon Springs
on Greek Cross Day from far and
wide," says a bulletin from the Washington.
1). headquarters of the National
Geographical Society. "The fete
was transported almost complete from
Greece, as were most of the sponge
divers or their parents.
"Tarpon Springs, the 'Pride of Pinellas
county" as it calls itself, lies about
halfway down the west coast of the
Florida peninsula, just above where
the Gulf of Mexico bites into it to
form Tampa Hay. It contains many
miles of navigable waterways?canals,
small blue lakes, picturesque Springs
Bayou surrounded by a natural amphitheatre.
and the Anclote river flowing
through the city into the Gulf. Palmshaded
streets are bordered with cottages
painted gaily, yet not so gay as
the flaming hibiscus and poinsettlas
that encircle them, or the purple flowing
bougainvillea vines almost covering
them.
! "The natural beauty of this semitropical
city early attracted the distinguished
American artists George
Inness and his son, George Inness, Jr.,
explained that he esteemed Tarpon
Springs because of its picturesqueneaa.
As a result, the Church of Good
Shepherd proudly displays two valuable
Inness paintings.
Artists not alone enjoy the city.
Sportsmen come there for tarpon fishI
Lng and golf, and one major league
| baseball team has chosen it as a win|
ter training ground.
"Mystery still surrounds the lithia
| springs which give the city part of its
' nam?,- Although soundings have
' reached 200 feet, their real depth has
'not been fathomed. They take their
place among the 'bottomless' springs
of Florida, even the engineers have
suggested that they are an outlet for
I>ake Butler, several miles away, from
which the municipal water supply is
drawn. Strangely enough, the water
level of the springs rises and falls
with the tide In the Gulf.
"A unique feature of Tarpon Springs
is the cooperative Sponge Kxchange,
tile only one in the I'nited States and
the largest in the world. Here captains
of diving crews sell their catch
to packers. 'In good seasons they handle
perhaps a million dollars' worth
ot business. The Kxehange's open
quadrangle is surrounded by large eov
ort'd stalls, in which the captains store
their sponges, dragging them out into
the sunlight to dry and expose their
lejoarre, then locking them at night
behind wooden stall doors with barred
grills for ventilation.
"While natural beauty and agreeable
climate may have made fftrpon
Springs a favorite resort, a. luyky ac,(blent
made it the sponge capital of
the world. ? Tradition reports that In
1S73 flshormcfl, catching turtle ofT
Anclote Key in the Gulf, caught
sponges by mistake. Formerly the
Key West region had been the best
known sponge grounds outside of the
Mediterranean. But thereafter Tarpon
Springs became#he base for sponging
In the Hay Grounds, an area in excess
of e.OOO square miles. It lies largely
beyond th,. three-mile limit and is
.therefore subject to little Federal regulation.
It is maintained, however,
that sponge beds are not being depleted.
"For years sponges met their faie
by hooking.' a procedure that required
little equipment and only two men
in a boat. The hooker scanned the
ocean bed through a water telescope,'
simply a tin bucket with a glass bottom,
and fished op visible sponges
with a three-tlned hook on a long pole.
"About thirty years ago a Greek
colony transplanted Mediterranean
equipment and diving methods to the
Gulf. A small sloop was imported
from Greece as a pattern for diving
boats. Expert Greek divors, swarthy
I and mustachioed, arrived with their
i families in a 'sponge rush.'
| "Now the dock at Anctotc Harbor Itr

; with boats of every kind, from gasoj
line launches to little two-men 'hooking
dinghies." Diving sloops . are

An essential feature of each vessel '
is the sturdy Jointed wooden ^ladder
by which the diver makes hie clumsy
entrance and exits, burdened down
with 200 pounds of helmet, aVmor,

A Sock Fpr Mothcr-ln-Law
Before Doctor Samuel Harmon I
went t<> jail, in the days when hit
fake accident and fraudulent claim a
racket still looked like a? easy way 1
to make money, he had a henchman
by the name of Pietro Trunio. Pietro I
complained one day that he had to I
support his wife's parents and they I
were a burdensome expense.
"Well," said the doctor slyly, ''they 8
could pay their way by having a lit-1
tie accident." Pietro instructed his
parents-in-law in the art of accident
faking, and an appointment was made
with Vincent to be at a spot Sunday
morning where the couple would cross
the street on their way to church.
The couple were there at the ap-1
pointed time and so was Pietro in his I
role of director, but no Vincent with
his taxic'ah. He slept through the?
ringing of his alarm clock.. The "acl

An hour and a half later they were all
there and the "accident" went off as I
scheduled. Vincent's fender Just
missed the old man and lady, he stbp-l

and the couple fell to the pavement?
in simulated agony.
Then quickly they were bundled off I

"How about me? I* have no^H

"Yes you have," said Pietro, giving?
her a straight jab to the face that!
broke her nose. j
That was one time a man hit hill

The mother-in-law's indignation wail
soothed by the assurance that har|
