Va., August 3.—Charleston’ two dally news- papers, the Gazette and the Daily Maldl, resumed publication on an open- shop basis today after having been suspended since Saturday, when union printers went on strike at the expiration of the yearly wage agree- ment.

B. Rothwell, director of the animal husbandry division of the Department of dgriculture. The new animals breed true to type, he 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 animals 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. Retired From Army. Warrant Officer John S.

Judd, leader of the National Geographic Society ex- peditions to Pueblo Bonito, New Mex- ico, recently presented to members of the Zuni tribe a gift for which the: would glrdly have paid in turquoise. It was a live, brilliant Mexican macaw, a bird full of meaning to certain of the Indians; yet only a few membe lof the tribe had ever before seen one (of these brightly feathered parrots. Sach of the dozen or more clans (individuals related through the ma- ternal line) at Zuni has its own clan totem: The bear, badger, coyote, eagle, snake, corn and mustard,” Dr. Judd writes in a_report to the society. “Of all these clans none has a larger or more vigorous membership than the Macaw people. The Macaw clan has furnished a majority of the leading men at Zuni for several genarations past. iKnew Bird by Description. “But these leaders knew the macaw, their clan totem, only through verbal description, handed down from one generation to another. Two years ago a small delegation went to San Do- mingo, a Tewa pueblo near Albu- querque, there to trade turquoise or naments for macaw feathers. There are two captive macaws at San Do- mingo, obtained through exchange with Mexicans “During . years at Pueblo Bo several .of Zuni excava \ve been members of the N h.

Sun Priest as Custodlan. “But 1 insited the macaw was a gift to the entire clan and not a personal remembrance to a single friend. It was my expressed opinion that the sun priest, as highest officlal of the clan, should receive the bird and act as its custodian. And right there I discovered some surprising informa- tion about the macaw and its habits. “Taking advantage of my limited Zuni vocabulary and still hoping to obtain the bird for himself, one of the mool THRILLS INDIANS WHO HAVE BIRD AS CLAN TOTEM !

It appears, then, that the inhabitants of this great prehis- toric village must have obtained live macaws through barter with the tribes of Central Mexico.

S. WOMAN FAILS TO SWIM CHANNEL; IS BEATEN BY FOG returned to Dover the swimmer was glven a great reception by a large crowd, including many well known swimmers. Among these were Mrs. Clemington Carson, former Amelia Gade, a long-distance performer, and her husband. They were the first to sympathize with Miss Barrett, that such a good effort had not met with success. As soon as the greetings were over Miss Barrett went off to bed'for much- needed sleep. Miss Barrett’s time in the water is claimed to be a record for a woman in a channel swim. i Throughout the long journey ' the American woman was cheerful, but when the fog descended the party was often worrled by the rens from nearby boats. On one asion they were nearly run down by the night mail steamer from France. Dr. George Brewster of Londen, who started a channel attempt three hours after Miss Barrett had taken off from Dover, gave up his effort about five hours later, when a dense fog be- gan to set in. He had made five miles during the first three hours of his swim. FARSTAD GIVES UP. CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, August 3 (®P).—Olaf Farstad, Norwegian swimmer, making his second attempt this year to conquer the English Chan- nel, was forced to abandon his swim after five hours' struggle toward the English coast. Farstad also took off from Cape {Gris Nez on July 28 and was making good progress toward Dover when he was forced to give up his attempt. He had been in the water almost 16 hours and was a mile and a half from the English coast when rough water forced him to quit. WOULD LIKE COMPANION. Miss Ederle Invites British Star to Swim Part Way With Her. BY GERTRUDE EDERLE. CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, August 8.—I have written to Vera Tanner, champion woman swimmer of Eng- land, inviting her to swim with me so long as she can on the day when 1 make my second attempt to swim across the English Channel, and I'm anxiously awaiting her reply. I am very fond of Vera. She is a marvelous swimmer. She swam with me three hours during my effort last year and her company would en- courage and inspire me this year. Vera is an amateur and I am now a professional swimmer it may not be possible for her to accompany me, although I don’t see why any ama- teur association would object to her swimming with me as long as she was not competing with me Companion Is Helpful. . After being in the water several hours it is very encouraging for one to have a companion alongside you in the water and cheering you up as the time lengthens and the water slaps vou In the face, rumbles in your ears and the salt burns your eves and swells your tongue until it feels as if your mouth was stuffed with rubber. When vou have been going six or seven hours you are apt to grow mel- ancholy, especially if there is as yet no sign of the English coast, as was the case with me last vear. I think that if I had seen land T could have gone on ‘a long time, but when I abandoned the attempt last Summer I had not vet had one glimpse of the cliffs of Dover. Just after I got aboard the tug and turned back toward France the fog lifted and the cliffs on the English side were plainly visible, Just holl a watch in your hands and keep your eyes on the minute hand nntil ‘it covers 60 seconds, and you will be able to realize to some ex- tent how long six hours really be- come. Then think of doing the same thing continually—moving your arms and legs the same way over and over again—for that length of time. The duration of the effort, not the actual swimming, is the most difficult part of the Channel crossing. It is the monotony of moving the body in the same manner hour after hour and the melancholia that gets you, and the crazy thoughts that try now and again to break down your merve. Queer Ideas Troublesome. Sometimes you get the idea that the looking at you as if they expected you to give up. Then you begin wonder- ing if you really will succeed. That' why you need another swimmer be- side you for an hour or two at a time, why you want music and somebody to talk to you once in a-while. Last year I had a band on my tug, but the musiclans all got seasick and there was mighty little music. This year I will have sister Margaret take my phonograph along in a small row- boat in which she and' Trainer Bill Burgess will be, and this will play for me. But T sincerely hope to have Vera Tanner swim with me as well as Ishak Helmy, the Egyptian, and per- haps also Mme. Sion and Omer Per- rault, if the two latter aren't just then preparing seriously for their own attempts. Helmy probably will wait now to make his next trial until after T have made mine. Yesterday, for the first time in 17 years, according to Burgess and per- sonal records here, the veteran Eng- lish watérman who is training me this year, allowed a rowboat to cap- size on the rocks of Gris Nez. The mishap epilled Burgess and sister Margaret into the water, but beyond their soaking and the loss of one of Bill's shoes no harm was done. Later, when the tide went out, Bill searched the rocks and found the missing shoe half a mile from the scene -of the upsetting. . He blamed the accident on a pair of short oars he was trying out. He and sister were accompanying me on a practice swim. Bill had given me one hour to cut through the tide from a long dis- tance out and swim to shore, but I was able to cover the distance in 36 minutes. In fact, Burgess had diffi- culty in keeping up, he tells me, and he was rowing hard when a huge wave shoved his rowboat against a rock, capsizing the boat.

Special Dispateh to The Sta HYAPTSVILLE, Md., Extension of Rhode from the District Rainler along the west side of the electric rail tracks to connect with the Washington-Baltimore boule- vard at Hyattsville will be undertaken soon, together with the building of a bridge over the Baltimore and Ohio tracks a short distance north of the Hyattsville station, if a plan of the State Roads Commission laid hefore a joint session of -the mayor {cil and executive committee Chamber of Commerce here is carried out. It was stated that if the plan is adopted within not more than 30 days the thoroughfare could be built before the end of 1926. Doubt was expressed that the bridge could be completed by this time, however. ompletion of the bridge would mean elimination of the crossing at Hyattsville. While this crossing in recent years, due to safety devices and constant vigllance of watchmen and police, has not taken a heavy toll of life, it highly objectionable because of traffic stion. The bridge, according to the plan, would begin on the Wash ston-Baltimore boufev between on and Spencer streets, and de. ribing a grad turn enter the Bowen lumber yard property on the east_side of the tracks and continue to Wells avenue, where connection again would be made with the Wash ington-Baltimore boulevard. 40-Foot Thoroughfare Sought. Under the plan a 40-foot right of way would be provided for Rhade Island avenue, the idea being to make the road 20 feet wide, the remaining space to go for sidewalks, 'shoulders or other features that might deemed advisable. A grade cross would be provided at the en | Rhode Island avenue. It was ned Duckett, J. 3 Irvin Owings of Hyattsville, been in constant conference with the State Roads Commission and Gov Ritchie on the situation, that the State did not"have the money at pres. ent to extend Rhode Island avenue, at an estimated cost of $125,000, but that if arrangements could be made by citizens of MHyattsville, Brentwood, North Brentwood and Mount Rainier to advance this money to the State it would go ahead with the construc- August 3.— Islgnd avenue line at Mount same time with the building of the bridge, for the construction of which the State has sufficlent funds. The $125,000 would later be repaid the citi- zens by the State, according to the plan. It was also made clear that the citizens of the communities would have to acquire the necessary rights of way. Committees Are Named. The proposition appeared to strike a responsive chord and the upshot was the appointment of two commit- tees by Mayor Owings and Dr. H. T. Willis, president of the Chamber of Commerce, one to seek to obtain rights-of-way in Hyattsville and the other to make arriungements for bor- rowing the $125,000 and raising the $7,500 needed to coyer the interest on this amount, and any other money that it may be found necessary to raise. Waldo Burnside was made chairman of the rights-of-way com- mittee, other members being Coun- cilmen C. D. Anderson, N. H. Spick- nall and Charles H. Welsh and G. Sherman James. Councilman Lemuel L. Gray was named chairman of the finance committee, with William H. Anglin and George B. Furman the other members. Mayor Owings and Dr. Willis in ad- vising the committeemen today of their appointment urged them to push their work with all speed. Messrs.

He | voted, however, for the resolution providing for the submission of the | 18th amendment to the States for tification As he sees the question now, how ever, it goes beyond the merits of | the wet and dry question. It becomes | a question of respect for and obed! - to the fundamental law of land. He does not quarrel with those who propose to repeal the eighteenth umendment, though he ‘would oppose such action. But he does attack those who would “nullify” the eighteenth | amendment while leaving it a part | of the fundamental law. Studies Southern Cases. Senator Borah would join quickly with any one who made an earn and honest effort to bring about real observance of the fourteenth and fif- teenth amendments in the Southern | States. After an investigation of the natter, however, he has become con vinced that the Southern States are not violating these amendments—as States—but that the violations are the work of individuals in those The fifteenth amendmens “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be de- | nied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, | color, or previous condition of servi- tude. Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.’” The eighteenth amendment, on the other hand, does not deal with the States, but with individuals, and Con- gress by leglslation can tackle indi- vidual violators of the prohibitiogn | taw. During the debate on the sixteenth amendment, providing for woman suffrage, Senator Borah delivered a speech in the Senate opposing the resolution, although he favored woman suffrage, in which he declared that one reason for opposition to the amendment -lay in the fact that the negro women in the Southern States would not be permitted to vote. He denounced the failure to enforce the fifteenth amendment, for which he said the North was responsible as well as the South. “I am opposed,” said Senator Borah in this speech, “even if we could se- cure ratification, to putting intd the Constitution of the United States a provision of the Constitution which is going to be violated 365 days out of the year. A great fupdamental law, the incarnation and crystalliza- tion of the public sentiment and the moral force of 90,000,000 of people, should be a law which is in force and to be in force in its every line and letter 8o long as it remains the law. Sees Contempt Bred. “The violation of law is bad of it- self. It is demoralizing to the com-)| munity, the State and the Nation. For a people to live In open defiance of their fundamental law, for a whole Nation to witness day after day and year after year and decade after dec- ade the flagrant evasion of their charter of government i{s to breed that contempt for order, that disre- gard for authority, that deflance of law, that indifference to the rights of others which now curses with a withering, consuming curse some of the so-called republics to the South.” This was spoken six years and more before the -prohibition amendment was adopted and the Volstead law enacted and disregarded by milllons of Americans.
