WASHINGTON FETE. PLAN IS QUTLINED Secretary of Bicentennial Body Says Anniversary Cele- bration to Be Solemn. Promotion of works which will serve to perpetuate for generations to come & new exaltation of George Washing- ton and hold his life and deeds up to these generations s inspirations in right living is the aim of the United States Commission for the Celebration of the 200ih Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington, Willlam Tyler Page, clerk of the United States House of Representatives and executive sec- retary of the bicentennial commission, toid members of the Washington Opti- mist Club at their weekly luncheon meeting yesterday afternoon at the Hamilton Hotel. “If George Washington had not been an optimist, we should never have, had & Constitution of the United States,” Mr. Page declared. Definite plans for the celebration have not been formulated yet, although an outline has been drawn and is ex- ficled to be adopted at a meeting to held shortly at the White House with President Hoover sitting as chair- man of the commission for the first time, Mr. Page said. Solemn Celebration. “The commission,” Mr, Page declared, “realizes the tremendous task of ar- ranging & celebration which will com- port with the dignity of the occasion. It is not to be a gay celebration, but rather, a solemn one. It is not to be assoclated with expositions or exhibi- tions. The public is fed up with that sort of thing. Rather it is to see such works created that will bring & new conception, & new exaltation of the life and deeds of George Washington ’". the inspiration of erations to_come.” He clted the plans of the National ‘Wakefleld Association for placing & reproduction of the birthplace of Wash- ington at Wakefield, where the Father of His Country was born, and making of the historic gehce & shrine for pil- grims seeking the benign influence of George Washington upon their lives. The Washington-Mount Vernon High« way is another of the great works which the commission sees as fitting for such & celebration, he declared. He also cited the pledge of the South- ern Scottish Rite Masons to raise $1,000,000 for a school of government at George Washington University, fash- joned along Washington's own ideas of such a school, as the sort of thing that should be done to honor the of Washington. Organization Explained. ‘The Bi-centennial Commission secre- tary explained the whole organization, which is making plans for the celebra- tion, with its 48 State commissions, the insular essions _commission and the District of Columbia, working with the national commission as the hub of activities. The District, he said, will be the hub of the celebration, by reason of its close association with the Washingtonians of the hills and towns of Virginia. The Optimists unanimously elected to membership in the club the following and will initiate them at a dinner meet- ing to be hald Tuesday, December 10, which will supplant the weekly lunch- eon of that week: Benjamin Carow, Earl E.

He may drink, bathe and eat in the vicinity of the herd, but any attempt at familiarity or intimacy with any of its members is at once resented and the intruder driven off with heavy blows and buttings with the head, ad- ministered, it may be, by previous friends and companions. No wonder this otherwise gentle, intelligent and social ‘animal becomes savage, morose and erous. “The outlaw turns bandit and mur- | pe; derer, He spends his nights in destroy- ing plantations, overturning huts and pulling up rice plants and young coco- nut . palms, Hldln[b!ln the jungle by day, these crazed beasts often prowl about unfrequented roads and jungle paths at night, and it is extremely dan- gerous for an unarmed man fo wander in their neighborhood.” Turning from jungle animals, the Smithsonian report presents the find- ings of Dr. A. Brooker Klugh of Queen’s University. Ontario, on the psychology of the red squirrel, which ¢close observa- tion showed to possess decidedly human mental ributes. It has, Dr. Klugh inststs, “a keen sense of ownership.” “Both of the squirrels,” he says, “which have made the maple in my garden their headquarters apparently regarded this tree as their private prop- erty and drove away other squirrels which came into it. Once I saw. an in- truder come to the tree while the owner was away, and finding some pieces of meat, it proceeded to eat them in such & hurry that it choked. The behavior of the squirrel which is raiding the stores of another is so absolutely dif- ferent that one can tell at once it is not the owner. Mark of Ownership. “The ownership of an article seems to be marked upon it by the squirrel Ncking it and by moving it from the place in which it 18 found. The red squirrel has an excellent memory, shown by the way it remembers where it has put - things, even after they have been stored away for several days. A squirrel had buried nine nuts in the snow on a balcony one afternoon. Durlnr the night there was a heavy snowfall and the new snow lay more than a foot deep on the balcony. Next moraing the squirrel came, went without hesitation CITIZENS INVITED 10 AID IN FETES Rhode Island Avenue Asso- ciation to Participate in Coming Events.

In many cases there is a possibility that the sense of smell may play a part in the finding of objects, but in this case this seems to be out of the question. “The mental states of the red squir- el are expressed mainly by attitudes, more rarely by the voice. Burprise, fear, curiosity, attention, anger and contentment have their characteristic attitudes. In fear the body is flattened, the head dropped and the tail held straaight out. In curiosity the neck is stretched out to a remarkable dufi;e. Anger is shown by stamping the hind feet and jerking the tail. Attention is shown by folding one pow and placing it against the breast. The scolding chatter which is so famillar to every one seems to indicate anger, and is usu- ally accompanied by stamping the hind feet, which action is sometimes so vio- lent as to become a veritable dance. “Reflection is a mental attitude which is supposed to be chara man. Vet -I have often -seen & squirrel take a piece of food; start for return and deposit it in some other place. I have ?llo repeatedly seen it store a piece of food in one place, come back a short distance, and take the food to another location. “As to what actually passes in the mind of the squirrel we are completely in the dark. But from close and long continued observation I am'convinced that the mental protesses of the red squirtel are far more varied and com- plicated than is usually supposed.” SIX MEN ARE LISTED IN $352,000 ROBBERY Blanket Warrent Issued, but Ar- rests Await Further Investi- gation by Authorities.
