( \ PHEASANTS SHOT BY MRS. COOLIDGE First Lady Goes Gunning for i First Time—President Bags Quail. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staft Correspondent of The Star. BAPELO ISLAND, off Georgia coast, Pecember 29.—A full day of sport and fon bas been planned for President Coolidge today, starting with deer hunt- ing in the morning and winding up in the late afternoon ith a sea island rodeo on the beach of Sapelo. With Col. E. W. Starling of the Becret Service, his constant hunting; companion, and several others, the President left the home of Howard E. Coffin, his host, early today for the wild country at the south end of Sapelo in quest of deer. These animals are plentiful on the island. The President yesterday augmented his reputation as a hunter, when he winged several quail on Blackbeard Island. Mrs. Coolidge also distinguish- ed herself yesterday afternoon by bag- ging several pheasants. This is be- lieved to be the first time Mrs. Coolidge has ever done any shooting. Mrs. Coolidge had heard so much about game and shooting since coming here that she determined to try her luck yesterday. With Mrs, Edward Varey, a niece of Mr. Coffin, and two Secret Service men she went on her first hunting expedition later in the day. th has been learned that the Presi- @ent is here as the guest of Mr. Coffin and is not acting as the chief of the Coffin mansion during the stay here, as he did at the Swannanoa Country Club in Virginia recently. The President takes his position at the dinner table at the right of Mrs. Coffin, while Mrs. Coolidge sits at Mr. Coffin’s right, in each case the position ‘'of honor as guests in the Coffin house- hold. The fifth member of the immedi- ate party is Mr. Salisbury, the artist. FOR WEEKS, YET Emperor Penguin Remains Motionless for Six Weeks While Hatching Egg. Caterpillar, Crab and Lobster Abstain From Eating Dur- ing Shedding Season. The fast of a person for a few weeks is worthy of note, yet some of the abstain from food for several months during each year. In animals such as the caterpiliar, the crab and the lobster, total abstinence from food occurs dur- ing the entire shedding season of many weeks. A marvelous duplication of this unbroken fast, according to insect au- thorities, is found in the life of the young spider during the first few weeks of its existence. Sea bears and walruses deny them- selves of food for many weeks at breed- ing time, but they are put to shame by the fervid constancy of the gigantic sea elephant (a species of seal) which annually remains foodless from August till February. These animals, unlike the caterpillar, crab and lobster, which fast during the time of inaction, it was pointed out, are at the height of their excitement, exertion, responsibility and danger when they steadily refuse to feed in the midst of plenty. Sea ele- phants are about 16 feet in length and 16 feet in girth, and the oil alone in their bodies amounts to approxi- mately 250 gallons, yet the appetite which must have been necessary to develop such proportions has been so long disciplined and curbed that for seven months in the year they neither eat nor drink. During the remaining five months, when they eat enormous quantities, their food is not devoted entirely to immediate expenditure but day by day and week by week is held in reserve for future use in the form of fat, blubber and oil. Every scientist knows it is not the habit of mammals alone to store up energy for future use, for the penguin has the ability to defy hunger and survive what would be starvation con- ditions to any other bird in the world.

Green, Gaithersburg Lodge: in the Antartic Circle, such as the Adelie penguins, go ashore in the Sum- mer, make nests amid stones and ice and endure periods of many days en- tirely without food. Their fasts, how- ever, are slight compared with that of the Emperor penguin, which defies all tradition by choosing the appalling gloom of the Antartic night for its nesting time in places where no kind of nest is possible. The egg is lald on the ice and instantly placed on the upper part of the bird’s feet, where it is held in position by a naked patch of flesh at the lower half of the breast. For six weeks this patient bird stands in the raging winds of the polar Win- ter with its extremely low temperature.

Now and then a salmon is tempt- ed by the spinning bait of an angler, but the majority go without food and hence are uncaught while in fresh water save by the net, living in the meantime on the fat stored up during eager feasting in the far-distant ocean. The ability to endure such hardship until it becomes no longer a hardship, says the scientist, is the result of hun- dreds of thousands of years of slow evolution. Those best fitted to under- go the test have survived and trans- mitted their power to their posterity, which in turn carry on the ancient practice.

LONDON, December 29.—Two slight- ly more hopeful bulletins on King George's illness since the decidedly dis- | turbing ones of Thursday night and | yesterday morning have served to hearten the public somewhat. Deep | anxiety, however, was still the keynote of popular feeling today over the King's condition. | It was noted that a restful day for | the patient was reported last evening, | and this was followed by a quiet night | which was announced in this morning’s | bulletin. This rest, it was assumed, con- | tributed helpfully to the improvement | now recorded, which, however, was em- | phasized as very slight. A Text of Morning Bulletin. ‘The morning bulletin, timed 11:30 o'clock, said: “The King has had a quiet night and there is a very slight change for the better in his majesty’s condition.” Unofficial suggestions that blood transfusions may be used to help King George through his present crisis have brought scores of offers from persons willing to give their blood in an effort to save the life of their ruler. “Dozens of people have telephoned me and others have written Bucking- ham Palace,” P. L. Oliver, honorary secretary of the blood transfusion serv- 1ce of the British Red Cross, said. “But | there is not the slightest possibility of required for this purpose. Certainly no one now offering their services is likely to be called on. We have on our register hundreds of people prepared to sub-; mit themselves to blood transfusion in | any type of case. They have already | undergone preliminary blood tests and have been grouped. One of these would | be called on before anybody now mak- ing an offer, but as I have said, there is not a chance in a million of any one outside of court circles being required.” Interest Is Intense. There naturally was intense interest in any hint of a new method of treat- ment for the stricken ruler, and in ad- | dition to that aroused by the American | contribution of an antiseptic solution received yesterday, which it is hoped will prove helpful, an unofficial sug- | gestion that a blood transfusion would likely be employed excited the public imagination ‘keenly. It was stated authoritatively this afternoon, however, that this has not been considered by the King's doctors. It is understood that the measures decided upon yesterday for the purpose of icreasing his majesty’s general st:length relate to a new course of medi- cine. Palace Gates Crowded. The public continues to wonder Whether the King has been suffering from periods of unconsciousness. This has been definitely stated in the press, but neither the bulletins nor the un- official palace statements mention this condition. A larger crowd than usual for the last few days waited outside Bucking- ham Palace this morning to watch the arrival and departure of the doctors and the posting of the bulletin. Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Hugh Rigby, the noted surgeon, arrived at 9:50 o'clock this morning. Sir Hugh left at 11:45 and Lord Dawson at 12:20. The Prince of Wales went hunting with the Belvoir hounds today, thus in- dicating that anxiety in the royal fam- ily had been allayed at least a little, as the Prince had planned to cancel his week end hunting program. ARLINGTON GAINS 500 AUTOMOBILES Increase in Tags Estimated by J. V. Turner, Distributor, Though Sales Are Slow. Special Dispatch to The Star. ARLINGTON, Va., December 29.— Automobiles in Arlington County in- creased 500 this year, according to an estimate of J. V. Turner, dstributor of license tags. In 1927 he distributed | 5500 tags, and this year expects to ex- | ceed 6,000, including those for approx- imately 600 trucks. His estimate is based upon the yearly increase for the past five years. Last year Turner turned over more than $92,342.34 to the State from tags sold ,in this section. Virginia tags were available December 15, but to date there have been but 1,200 sold. The exceptionally high price, as compared with the District of Columbia, is given as a reason for the last minute rush. purchasers are given until January 15. Because of the fact that the au- thorities of Virginia do not follow those of the District and Maryland in the preparation and distribution of the names and addresses of purchasers of license tags, Turner prepares such a list yearly and furnishes it to the sheriff of the county. Turner's office in Falls Church is the only place near- er than Richmond where such informa- tion is available, and the service has been of great benefit in the location of stolen cars and the apprehension of thlfives both. by Virginia and District police. e Feminists Ask Recognition.

Dr. Haffstadt pointed out that-in the present method many un- pleasant reactions have occurred, such | as local swelling and illness. In some cases, the doctor continued, where a patient is suffering from disease such as_tuberculosis the reaction from the injection method may be severe enough to incite an outbreak of the tubercular condition with fatal results.

Prominent Democrats lauded the memory and ideals of Woodrow Wilson on the anniversary of his birth at a dinner given last night in the Woman's National Democratic Club under the auspices of the Woodrow Wilson Foun- dation. The dinner was one of many attend- ed by admirers of the war President throughout the country, the principal one of which took place in New York. Prof. William E. Dodd of the Univer- ity of Chicago gave an address on “Woodrow Wilson, the Last Liberal,” at the dinner here, which was attended by many friends of the former Presi- dent. Others who spoke were Frederic A. Delano, president of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. and Charles S. Hamlin of the Federal Reserve Board. The dinner meeting was opened with a prayer by Right Rev. James E. Free- man, Bishop of Washington. Prof. Dodd paralleled the struggles of Wilson for democracy with those of the two great liberals of their age—Jeffer- son and Lincoln. “All seers seem at first to fail, but in the end the prin- ciples for which they fight triumph, he said. “Jefferson lost his last strug- gle—freedom for the slaves; Lincoln lost his life for the Union, and Wilson went down for world democracy. “Even when he seemed defeated, Wil- son never lost faith in the cause of democracy or his courage in the cause.
