SYMBOLé OF S'ITIlers: STONES. Courting Bird Offers Bits of Nest! to Prospective Mate. Julian Huxles in the Forum Psychologically, one of the most in- teresting things about bird courtship is the frequency with which in display the birds will carry in their beaks a plece of the material of which their nest is bullt. This holds good even for the Adelie penguins. charmingly described by Dr. Levick. Here the nest | is nothing but a rim of stones round a depression: and accordingly the male presents stones to his mate as part of his courtship. Interestingly enough, this action sometimes becomes diverted to serve other instincts and emotions, such as wonder—the birdg will present stones to dogs and to men; and Dr. Levick .confesses 1o having felt quite embarrassed the first time he was the reciplen: Still another tale hangs by these stones. | The sitting birds stealing stones from nests. Levick painted a number of stones different colors, and them at one margin of the nesting area. After this he could mark the rate of their progress (all by theft!) across the colony: and found that the red stones traveled much quicker than the rest. This is of great theoretical interest, for red is a color which is to all intents and purposes absent in the pengujn’s environment—and yet they prefer it above all others. If a male penguin could grow a red patch he would probably be very quick to gain a mate. Such an example also shows in what sort of way the extraordinary bowers of the bower-bird have de- veloped. These are a blend between art gallery and museum, usually a tunnel of twigs with a collection of shells, bones, berries and flowers at one end. In one specles a space of ground is cleared, and large leaves laid upon it, their silvery under sur- face upwards.

Mighty have been the victorles of this last lap in the long jorney from Hippocrates and the spacious days of the fifth century before Christ in the sunny islands of the Aegean. Today they are yours. Life is longer for mankind now; death has been, though not defeated, at least postponed: plague and = pestilence have been stayed; human capacity has been en larged and its opportunity extended. We are the heirs of the ages, and to us have come the fruits of other men'’s labors. Shall we fdly eat, drink and be merry before we die, or shall we accept our legacy and by high en- deavor and honest service transmute it into a further extension of the trontiers of life? : Though the death rate cannot be indefinitely reduced, much remains to be done, even in the most enlightened civilizations: still more ‘among the backward races of mankind. The sickle of death comes vet too early: pandemics continue to be fateful, and influenza, rheumatism and cancer are unconquered; there is an alpine mass of suffering, invalidity and disable- ment which is preventable: the capaci- ty and well being of the human spe: ces falls far short of its potentalit we walk -haltingly in the dark, when we ought to be marching forward in the light of new truth.

As long ago as 2500 B.C. the in- habitants of the Euphrates Valley were making glass and a Jittle later were selling it to the Egyptians. Then about 1500 B.C. some personage unknown had the bright thought .of importing 'glassmakers. Fifty years after the advent of the Syrian arti- sans into Egypt, according to Sir Flinders Petrie in a recent lecture before the members of the Society of Glass Technology at . University College, London, glass was of as rela- tively common occurrence in that country as it is on the 10-cent store counter of today. There is no question that the women of ancient Egypt loved adornment, for beads, popular then as now, formed the principal use for glass. They were made not from liquid glass, since glass-blowing did not come into prac- tice until the Christidn era, but from glass paste. They also used it for making weights of considerable accn- racy, said Sir Flinders, three of the same denomination having proved on testing to agree within one-two-hun- dredth of a grain. . . T \caac Tyt Japan Imports and Exports. Prelimirary trade totals for the first six months of this year show exports ‘of 993,687,000 yen and imports of 1.395,142,000 ven, giving an excess of imports of 401,445,000 yen. This com- pares with exports of 984,376,000 yen, imports of 1,505,290,000 yen and an ex- cess of imports of 520,914,000 ven for, the corresponding months of 1925. It it apparent from these totals that Japan’s efforts to increase exports and curb imports have been more or less successful. a held | (retir placed | STAR, WASHINGTO Army.

Rowan, there is upper- most in the minds of the military au- thorities the tmportant principle in- volved in t proposal as applicable to the retirement system. This prin- ciple is that the retired list of the reg- ular establishment exists for a twi fold purpose, viz. Army a high-class of commissioned personnel by providing for their self- maintenance after long years of active service, or after physical disabllity has vendered them unfit for further active service, and to kecp the active list of the Army vitalized. In administrative practice, under existing law, the prin- ciple of promotion is applicable only to the active list of the Arm passed from the active list to the re- tired list standing until death in the grade they held on the active list at the time of retirment, except in the case of officers who had Civil War service, they being advanced one grade upon retirement, but remaining in that grade until death. The first pur- pose. that of promotion for the retired st, the Secretary pointed out, is inimi- 1'to the sound principles governing the retirement system, while the sec- ond purpose, that of financial reward, is likewise inimical to these principles.

The Air Corps act passed by Con- gress just before adjournment, and which “has been considered as the foundation. of the aerial deferises of the Nation, threatens to become null | and” void because no appropriations have been voted with which to carry out the provisions of that law. As far as can be learnéd, the passage of that law has done only ope thing, and that is create an Alr o;;m, and in so far as providing more éffectively for the national defense by increasing the efficiency of the Air Corps of the reg- ular establishment, this is an impossi bility unless funds are appropriated for the purpose, and, as Congress ad- journed without making these appro- priations, nothing can be done by the military authorities in building up the air arm of the service until the money Is made available. In anticipation of carrying out the provisions of the Air Corps act, it is understood that the office of the chief of the Air Corps is about to conduct a thorough survey of the equipment | field, so that when the money is avail- able for the purchase of aircraft en- gines and aircraft parts the Air Corps authorities will know where to place their orders for the new planes at the lowest cost. An Army retiring board has been designated, of which Brig. Gen. Wal- ter D. McCaw, assistant to the surgeon general, is the head, to meet in Wash- ington at his call from time to time. The other members of the board are Cols, Henry Whitehead, Quarter- masters Corps; John J. Toffey, Infan- try; Edward P. Orton, Finance Depart- ment; Lieut. Cols. Alden F.

More than 112 separate projects affect- ing tanks have been considered by the former tank board during the past few yedrs. It has been decided by the War De- partment to close Woodward Field, Utah, and to tramsfer the Regular Army personnel and material ‘which has been stationed at that post to other centers of aerial activity in the 9th Corps Area. Though it was stated last year that it was not the intention at that time to discontinue the flying training being given at Woodward Field, this question was reconsidered the past few months and it has been found that the per capita cost of train ing reserve officers is materfally great- ar than the corresponding cost at other reserve airdromes in the 9th Corps Area. This s due, in part, it is point. ed out. to the fact tha* the great alti- tude of the Salt Lake Valley per mits the use only of service airplanes, which are ‘more difficult to fly and more costly to supply than training planes, Navy. Orders will shortly be ued by the Navy Department authorizing Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, now on duty as president of the board of inspection and survey, to stand relieved from this duty and assigning him to com- mand the European station, with the rank of vice admiral, where he will relieve Vice Admiral Roger Welles. This change, in all probability, will not take place until next October, in anticipation of the retirement of Admiral Welles on December 7 for age. Upon the assumption of Admiral Charles F. Hughes to the duties of commander-in-chief of the United States fleet, Rear Admiral Richard H. Leigh and Capt. George F. Neal, both of whom are now on duty as chief of staff and assistant chief of staff, respectively, to the commanderin- chief of the battle fleet, will be as- signed to perform these same duties. Capt. Joel R. P. Pringle will be the chief of staff to Admiral Richard H. Jackson when ‘the latter officer as- smmes command of the battle fleet. A number of changes in the as- signments of officers on duty in the Navy Department, and also those coming into the department, will shortly be placed in effect. Included among them are the following: Comdr. E. G. Allen, who has been on duty in the Bureau of Navigation, will be assigned to command the U. 8. 8. Hatfield, relieving Lieut. Comdr., James C. Clark. Comdr George C. Pegram, on duty in the operations office, will be assigned to | duty as executive officer of the Ten- nessee, relieving Comdr. George B. Wright. The latter officer will be as- signed to duty as aid on the staff of Admiral Ashley H. Robertson, when he assumes command of the scouting fleet. Lieut. Comdr. Harold C. Train, on duty in command of the Parrott on Asiatic station, will relieve Lieut. Comdr. Edgar M. Williams, who is { Feghteler, F. on duty in the Navy Department with the general board. The latter officer will go to duty as navigator of the Concord, relieving Lieut. Comdr. William 8. Hogg, jr., who will be as- signed .to duty in the communications office of the department. Lieut. Comdr. John W. Gates, on duty as navigator of the Omaha, will be re- lieved by Lieut. Comar. William I. Causey, jr., who will shortly be de- tached from duty in the Bureau of Navigation. The former will be as- signed t duty in the twenfth naval district. Lieut. Comdr. Henry F. Floyd. navigator of the Langley, will be assigned to duty in the Bureau of Navigation, w he will relleve Lieut. Comdr. Causey. Lieut. Comdr. De Witte C. Ramsey, now on duty with the Wright, will relleve Comdr Floyd of his duties on the Langley. The follow!ng officers of the line of the Navy became due for promotion on the dates indicated: July 3—Lleut. L. F. Safford and Lieut. (i. g) F. J. R. Eggers 11—Lieut. (. g) R. C. Percive. y 16—Lieuts. W. T W. Wead, E. W. H son; Lieuts. (j. &) R. B. Tompkl H. B. Brumgaugh: July 21—Lieut. R. A. Awtrey and Lieut. (. g) J. E. Pixton. A close scrutiny is being made of the lst of selections made by the Navy staff corps selection boards, as the recommendations of these boards will affect in a large measure the practical application of the equaliza- tion of promotion law. As pointed out In the Navy Department last week, real selection will do a great deal to relieve the feeling of discon- tent which may be shared by the bet- ter qualified staff officers when it is realized that position on the lineal list is not the governing factor in selec- tion for promotion. Special emphasjs is placed on section 10 of the equali- zation act, which prescribes that if the running mate of a staff officer be promoted and such staff officer be considered by a selection board but fails to be selected. he shall have as- signed a new running mate. In this provision, a sharp distinction is drawn between the word “considered” and the term “passed over.” Officers eligi- ble for selection by a board are re- garded as having been considered by that board. 1If the junior officers on the list of those eligible are not recom mended they will be assigned new running mates with consequent loss of precedence and date of commission if subsequently selected for advance ment. Thus it can be seen that the greatest possible consideration must be given by the selection boards to all officers eligible for selection.
