Arkansas City, Ark.—Old Hez says he has never pulled a bass from a stream with half the thrill he has when he trails flint spalls along the ground to the remains of an old In- dian camp and there digs up arrow- heads, axes, spearheads and mauls used by America’s early settlers. Who is Old Hez? He’s an authority on both bass and Indian relics—B. F. Lloyd of Arkan- sas City,” Kans., former newspaper man, printer and painter by trade, fly fisherman by profession, with an in. satiable hobby for collecting Indian relics. Among fly fishermen Mr. Lloyd is known as Old Hez, a dean of bass fish- ermen in this part of the country. Up and down the streams of Kansas, Ar- kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois | and Indiana Old Hez with his {ishing equipment is a familiar figure. He has | taught scores of young men how to trick wary bass from their lairs; he | has caught fish both big and small in : winter and summer. Beguiles Them With Verse. “Talk to em. Coax 'em along a lit- tle,” is the advice of Old Hez on catching fish. “I know their language, and when I step into the stream I be- . gin talking to my fish. All the while | I'm pulling him in I'm talking to him, | sometimes even in rhymes.” ! Here's the conversational part of Mr. Lloyd’s well-known bass poem, “Song of the Wild,” with which he be- guiles his fish, with a “Come on, grandpa, come on, and quit your fool- in’,” thrown in for a refrain: ‘Good morning, grandpa, good morn- ing— Why, certainly, if your stomach’s a-gnawing, Take a cathartic. I assure, 't will allay. Come out from the brush where the fighting is fair, Out in the open, away from your lair And measure your wits with me, I dare, For this is Old Heaz. Adair. | | Hey? Huh? Not so well, did you say? | | | Old Hez of ‘Now he turns from the old log den, As he lunges for freedom on high. Down he goes and makes for the moss ledge—then Is stopped in the twink of an eye. When the bass is finally outwitted, “Old Hez” always says: “I thank you.” Mr. Lloyd has been fishing since he was a youngster and he’s sixty-six years old now. In his words he's the “youngest old man that ever followed | a stream.” He comes by his fishing skill naturally, for he is the son of a well-known fly fisherman, the late ‘Capt. R. W. Lloyd, of the Eighty-third Indiana infantry, in the Civil war. Much as he loves fishing, however, it's not of his angling exploits that “Old Hez” talks of by the hour now, but of flint and rocks, Indian arrow- ‘heads and tomahawks. It’s not his fishing rod that he carries out on most of his trips to the river now but a pointed cane with which to brush ‘leaves aside and dig into the earth. Keen on Indian Relics. Down by the river he goes—the Walnut river, that flows through the flint hills of Kansas—but not to cast ‘bait to hungry fish. Sometimes he walks miles, sometimes he sits by the ‘hour staring at the ground in all di- rections or digs his way into an old cave in the rocks. When he returns, it 1s not with the usual string of fish, ‘but with a hatful of flint or sandstone -or agate made by Indians before the white man came. For “Old Hez” has developed a pas- sion for collecting Indian relics and ‘he boasts that his collection of 1.309 pleces is one of the finest in this part of the country and that he has found some of the rarest specimens of In- dian implements in existence. Almost two sides of his bedroom are ‘hung with cardboard plaques on which arrowheads, spearheads, tomahawks, axes and other things are strung with «copper wire. On the floor are pilzd heavier pieces, such as mauls, corn ‘bowls, tanners and pestles. The prize of all his possessions Is a 50-pound fire bowl, the like of which Mr. Lloyd says he has not found in any Indian collection outside his own. Sheep to Be Raised on Deserted Island Onancock, Va.—Watts island, in ‘Tangier sound, deserted some years ago because the erosion caused by tides was making it unsafe for hab- itation, is coming into its own again. Once a prosperous community of fish- ermen and truckmen growing vegeta- bles for Baltimore markets, it degen- erated into a wilderness of brambles. ‘Then the tides cut in on the highlands until it was bisected. Since then the two islands have been known as Big Watts and Little Watts. One man feels the tides will not ‘wipe out the island. Charles Harden- ‘burg of Jersey City has taken up a ‘home on Little Watts in the deserted ‘lighthouse and has gone into the rais- ing of sheep on the big island. The island contains 250 acres of fertile :.land and it is the intention of Mr. Hardenburg to stock it with high- grade sheep. The work has begun. | take their place. BANQUET SERVED IN STONE-AGE MANNER European Scientists Enjoyed Unique Feast. A distinguished European archeolo- gist and a member of the Anthropolog- ical society lately conceived the orig- inal plan of preparing a banquet in the manner of the Stone age. There were many volunteers to aid in the work of making the proper prepara- tions for the unique function. It was ' necessary first to select an appropriate spot for the dining place. After many sites were examined, it was finally de- cided to hold the “banquet” on a sand bank in the middle of the Danube riv- er, far from habitations. This was done in order to remove all semblance of the life of today and to insure sur- roundings that would indicate a time when the only habitations were caves or the shelter of trees. ¥ With the sand bank as the “table,” dishes and utensils were made in mod- els of those used in the Stone age. Those made of wood were fashioned In close imitation of the utensils of that age. Jabbage soup formed the first item vf the menu. It was prepared in a wooden bowl by means of stones that had been first heated and then thrown into the water in which the cabbage { had been placed. As fast as the stones cooled others were put in to The cooking con- sumed, of course, a much greater time than do modern methods, but time was no object to the scientists on this lark. 3oiled “leg of horse” came next. it had been cooked in the same man- ner. Roasted pork, cooked over the living coals and far better tasting, the learned gentlemen said, than any offering of today, was an important dish. Stewed maize, cooked by the hot-stone method, went with the pork, Turnips were roasted in the ashes | of the fire, the fire-hardened part jerked away and then served steaming hot. After this there was a dessert of dried berries and wild honey. The banquet lasted more than three hours, and when it was over and the scien: tists were returning to their homes, the guests all insisted that if the Stone-age man fared as well as this - he had little of which to complain in the matter of food. Puring this strange banquet ever) possible effort was made to enter into the spirit of the remote age. The sci: entists ate either with their fingers or out of the bowls that were placed be- fore them. There were no knives, no forks, no tablecloths and no napkins, In fact, nothing in the entire meal suggested the table manners of today. When it became necessary to turn any material that was being cooked, this was accomplished by means of a' pronged stick. Not a bit of metal was employed, either in the cooking or in the consumption of the food that day prepared for the scientists. Woman Marine Engineer Queen Victoria’s goddaughter, Miss victoria Drummond, recently obtained her “ticket” as a fully qualified, sea. going marine engineer. Miss Drum- mond is the granddaughter of Lord Amherst of Hackney. terested in engineering, and after fin- ishing her studies learned that to ob- tain a certificate she had to serve the required time in an engine room at sea. She signed on a ship going to Australia in 1922. She stood her watch, inspected boilers, kept the oilers at work and performed all the duties re- quired of her male colleagues. She has not decided whether she will con- tinue going to sed, now that she has the coveted license, or remain on shore and take up the work of a consulting marine engineer. Athletes Must Study To discourage overemphasis on ath letics in Philippine schools, only stu- dents who have a good record in their studies will be allowed hereafter to represent their schools in provincial, interprovincial, and carnival meets, according to recent ruling of the Phil- ippine bureau of education. Credit formerly allowed for participation in these meets will be discontinued, and no pupil who fails of promotion ona vear will be allowed to represent his school the following year. Athletes, however, are excused from regular physical education and will be given every opportunity to make up work they miss on account of participation in public athletic events. Her Letters Still Read France is celebrating the three hun. dredth anniversary of the birth of Mme. de Sevigne, who was not only a typical French woman but a typical woman—sane, rounded, human, admir- able, lovable. And she left the record of her colorful life behind her in a vast collection of letters, which are not only brilliant and satisfying as let- ters but are full of personality and human nature, both of that of the writer and of the important and color- ful personages of her day.—Gamalie] Bradford in Delineator. Controlling City Lights Electricity thousands of miles of wire in every great city in much the same manner as trains are dispatched on a railroad.

Scrawled on canvas, on shavings, on sea-stained leaves torn from log- books; written in charcoal and some- times in blood—such are the messages which drift ashore in bottles from the sea, from those in danger on the oceans of the world. For hundreds of years, before wire- less made contact with the land easy, seamen have thrown their bottle mes- sages trustfully into the sea. Colum- bus wrote to his queen in that way. And today a sealed bottle still: con- tains sometimes the last message of a despairing crew. Many a tragic mes- sage has been cast into the sea from many a stricken vessel. Messages such as these: | “Captain, all crew but me, John Williams, died yellow fever, “Ship burned, only me, Sam Thom- as, left in boat.” | “Whoever picks this up will know barque Caller Ou run “down by steamer.” The list of these bottles containing genuine news of disaster is pitifully long. There was that sad last mes- sage from the crew of the American tank steamer City of Everett, which sank with all hands in the Gulf of Mexico during October, 1923. It was washed up in a bottle at Miami, Fla., 99 days later, and read: “S. S. Everett. This is the last of us. To dear friends who find this, good-by forever and ! ever.” Father Neptune sometimes takes imuch longer to deliver his mails. Years ago a black cook on board the British ship Buckingham murdered the master. The vessel was off the coast of Bermuda at the time. She carried no wireless, and the mate, fearing further violence, entrusted his report of the crime to a bottle, It | was found 5,000 miles away, on one i of the Shetland islands. Nearly three | years had passed. A bottle message told the world of { the loss with all hands of the Atlan- i tic liner President. She should have | reached Liverpool in March, 1841, but became long overdue. At last a ship lat sea picked up a bottle containing la message from the famous comedian, | Tyrone Power. It said that the ves- sel was sinking in a gale as he wrote. In 1902 the Allan liner Huronian {left Glasgow and disappeared. Five | years later a bottle was washed up | by the tide on the north coast of Ire- | | land. Its message read: “Huronian , sinking fast. Topheavy. One side un- (der water. Good-by mother and sis- ! ter.—Charles McFall.” Bottle messages were produced as evidence during an inquiry into the loss of the Grimsby trawler Argus. i One which reached Norway read: “Steamship Argus. All hands mu- tiny. Collision with foreign barque.” After the mysterious loss of the Australian liner Waratah between Durban and Cape Town many bottle messages were found, but these were all belleved to be cruel fakes. Sealed bottles are often set adrift for scientific purposes. Many ship- masters are co-operating with British and American government depart- ments at the present time by throwing bottles overboard. In this way the direction of ocean currents may be i traced, for finders of these bottles are . rewarded if they fill in the card in- closed in each one, giving particulars of the date and place where it was found. Such a bottle, cast into the sea near Cape Town, was picked up on a Shet- land island beach, nearly four and a half years later. Captain Simpson, F. R. 8, who threw thousands of bottles into the sea during a period of years, reported that 10 per cent were found. Many of the bottles had drift- ed 10,000 miles before reaching land, the average rate of travel working out at half a mile an hour. Italian “Fascist” “Fascisti” is the name given to the members of a voluntarily organ- ized movement formed in Italy in 1920 to offset the work of the Reds. They have no definite program, and are of widely different political views, mere- ly being bound together by a strong national spirit. The name “Fascis- ti” was taken from the Latin “Faces.” The Roman emblem of an ax in a bun- dle of rods was adopted as their offi- cial sign. Their object was to coun- teract the designs of the extreme Com- munists and Socialists.

It is the history of the struggle of mankind for dominion; and dominion is only another name for the perfect freedom. Man has achieved not only freedom from the beast, but dominion over it, not only freedom from enemy man but dominion over him. He has achieved at least a partial safety from the ele- ments, and exercises at least a partial dominion over them. He has learned to divert and dominate the lightning; he has made fire and water his slaves, and only on occasion do they rise against him; he has subdued the hard earth with the share, and converted its minerals and metals from dead weights into the ministers of his com- fort. He has made the labor of an hour the achievement of a minute; he can travel in a day by sea the week's distance of his grandfathers, and by land the distance of their month; he has vanquished the air. In these ways and others he has won new lib- erties. In these ways and others he is seeking liberty still—through the control of natural forces, the con- trol of disease, the control of intelli- gence, the control of passion, the con- trol of men in masses and singly.— Grant Showerman ih the University of California Chronicle. Odd Method of Travel Called “Ride and Tie” Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln’s secre- tary of the treasury, showed financial ability early in his life. When he went from his New Hampshire home to Worthington, Ohio, to live with his uncle, he was acompanied by an older brother as far as Cleveland, where he was given instructions as to how to reach Worthington. Finding that he had to wait several days for a coach to take him as far as Medina, he obtained a canoe and earned several dollars by ferrying people across the Cuyahoga river, relates J, H. Gal- braith, Ohio historian, In Medina he met two young men from Worthing- ton, whom he was to accompany on their return trip. They had come on horseback, so young Chase was intro- duced to the “ride and tie” method of travel. One of them would mount the horse and ride forward several miles, of course outstripping the one who walked. Then the rider would dis- mount and tie the horse by the road- side and press on by foot. The other would reach the horse, meunt it and passing his companion, would tie it and go ahead on foot. In this way the horse was spared a double burden and the travelers made good speed. ~~ Of the Old School An old gentleman and a very young lady arrive simultaneously at the ele- vator in a large hotel. Both are French (This is a true story.) “Room for one,” says the elevator boy. The old gentleman, with a courteous bow and a murmured “Madame!” stands to one side. “Oh, not at all,” declares the young lady smilingly. “I am young, and I'll walk up.” “Precisely, madame, you are young, whereas I belong to the period when one surrendered one’s place to a lady. So you must understand, my dear, that I am too old to take yours.” The young lady smiles and steps into the elevator—but forgets to say “Thank you,”—From Le Figaro Heb- domadaire, Paris, (Translated for the Kansas City Star.) Engine Cylinders The Society of Automotive Engineers says that all radial or rotary engines as commonly used in airplanes have an odd number of cylinders around a single crank. The firing order skips alternate cylinders, and will have oc- curred in all the cylinders in two com- plete revolutions of the crank or cyl- inder, depending on whether the en- gine is a fixed or rotary radial engine. Engines of this type having an even number of cylinders, such as 10 or 14, are composed of two banks of five and seven cylinders, respectively. Radial and rotary engines are characterized by having the cylinders disposed at equal angular intervals around a com- plete circle. Education and Business An insurance company, like many companies in other lines of business, found that it is not always wise to em- ploy a man too well educated. He may be too ambitious to stay, or at least fishment and organization, the oldest | may feel himself above it and not put whole-hearted effort into it. For many selling jobs a high school graduate is far more desirable than a college grad- uate. But a high school graduate has more persistence than a man who went ‘only part way through high school. Likewise, a college graduate is more likely to stick than one who went to college but not all the way through.— Nation’s Business. Whaleship as a Shrine fhe oldest whaleship in the world stands imbedded in a sea of cement at South Dartmouth, Mass. Several per- sons combined to purchase the old hulk and to fit it out as a memorial to the old whaling industry.

Unfortunately, man is mainly re- sponsible for bird cripples. Rabbit trapping, as carried on today, is re- sponsible for damage to thousands of pheasants. No less than 50 per cent of those shot in a small wood recently had only one foot, but they had man- aged to survive and were in perfect condition apart from this damage. Smaller birds often get a leg smashed, but seem able to get along without it by hopping on the sound one and using their wings. Not only will a starling just manage to exist under such conditions, but it will fight and scramble after food and managr to hold its own. In wild-fowling it Is frequently found that after a large flock of birds has been put to flight a smaller num- ber remain behind and seem loath to fly. If these were examined through a good pair of glasses, they will be seen to be the halt and the lame that have been damaged in some part of the body. Nature has a rough-and-ready way of healing their hurts and many crip- ples survive for a time. Few birds that are born cripples survive for long, for their enemies are many and the weakest are the first to go. Doctor’s “Pull” Landed Him in Mayor's Chair The only doctor in Scrapville de- cided that he would like to be mayor, so he came out in the Scrapville Time~ with the following notice: “Fellow citizens, I am running for mayor. I have no particular platform, no reforms to make, nothing to say against my opponent; I merely desire to be mayor of this town before I die. I know every man, woman and child in this town. I have been present at every birth, marriage or death In Scrapville for the past forty years. If I am not elected I am going to leave the town. But before I go I will tell all I know about each one of you.” For the first time in the history of the town everyone of legal age turned out. When the ballots were counted the old doctor had received all but one vote, and that was cast by a man who had just moved into town.—Los Angeles Times, Well-Trained Horses Visitors to a circus or fair are al- ways much impressed by the clever acting of the horses which prance around the ring, and rise up on their hind legs and dance to the music of the band. In fact, so highly have horses been trained that at the circus of Cortz Altdorf, 8 famous continental ring, a horse made a number of bal- loon ascents alone. The ancients are sald to have been great masters of horse training. The people of Italy taught their horses to dance to the music of the pipe. In the Thirteenth century there was shown a famous rope-dancing horse, while the artists of the Fourteenth century found plenty of scope for their talents in depicting the different methods em- ployed in the instruction of perform- ing ponies and horses, one of which was taught to tap his forelegs and hind legs on a board like a man play- ing a drum. Curiosity Wins “Look here,” began the youth, as he entered a butcher's shop and dis- played two lovely-looking black-and- blue eyes, “you have fresh beef for sale?” “I have,” responded the butcher. “And fresh beef is good for black eyes, is it not?” “It 1s.” “Very well. I have the eyes, you nave the beef. Do you think you can sell me a pound or so without asking how I got ornamented?” “I'll do my best, sir.” The butcher cut off the meat and received his money without another look at his customer. At the last mo- ment, however, the old Adam proved too strong for him. “Look here,” he said, handing back the cash, “I'll make you a present of the beef. Now tell me all about the fight.” Billiards on Horseback One of the novelties introduced in the game of billiards was the playing of a game on horseback by the mem- bers of the Paris Jockey club in 1838. The horses were taken up a flight of stairs to the billiard room with great difficulty. The game was for 12 points up and was finished in 20 min- utes. The origin of the game of billiards {s rather hazy. Too great proficiency at billiards even today is said by many to be a sign of a misspent youth, and it was perhaps this idea that kept our forefathers so quiet upon the subject, says a writer in Tit-Bits. That it existed centuries ago is indi- cated by a passage in Shakespeare’s “Cleopatra” in which she Invites Charmion to play billiards with her. Just a Snack Silas’ usual breakfast was 12 pan- cakes. But, then, he generally had a good hard morning before him in the fleld. One morning a heavy rain made his chores impossible, so as he passed the kitchen he called to the farmer's wife: “I shan’'t need much breakfast this morning. KEleven'll be enough. But make ‘em a little larger.” ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW KLINE WOODRING. — Attorney-at Law, Bellefonte, Pa. Practices in all courts.
