LAND OWNERS FEAR| PREJUDICED JURY Botanic Garden Condemna- tion Appraisals Declared Hit by Garner. Applicaifon was made yesterday to the District Supreme Court to suspend the consideration by a commission of three citizens of their award in the Botanic Garden case, which has been submitted to them, until Justice Alfred A. Wheat has an opportunity to inquire if the commissioners are satisfied that “they can fully resist and overcome the preju- dicial influence and tendency of the threats and intimidation” contained in a speech of Representative Gamer of ‘Texas on the floor of the House on March 24.

O, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1930. NG STORY One of World-Famous Works of Literature The Owl Critic. BY JAMES T. FIELDS, (James Thomas Fields. 1817-1881, was an American _publisher, lecturer and writer. The present selection from his works is btitled, appropriately, “A Lesson to uitanders.”) “Who stuffed that white owl?” No one spoke in the shop; the barber was busy and he couldn’t stop; the cus- tomers, walting their turns, were all reading the dally papers, little heeding the man who blurted out such a blunt question. Not one raised a head or even made a suggestion. And the bar- ber kept on shaving. “Don't you see, Mr. Brown,” cried the youth, with & frown, “how wrong the whole thing is, how preposterous each wing is, how flattened the head is, how jammed down the neck is—in short, the whole owl, what an ignorant wreck 'tis? I make no apology; I've learned owl-eology. I've passed days and nights in a hundred collections and cannot be blinded to any deflec- tions arising from unskillful fingers that fail to stuff a bird right, from his beak to his tafl. Mr. Brown! Mr. Brown! Do take that bird down or youll soon be the laughing stock all over town!” 1 studied owls and other night fowls and I tell you what I know to be true: An owl cannot roost with his limbs 8o unloosed; no owl in this world ever had his claws curled, ever had his legs slanted, ever had his bill cant- ed, ever had his neck screwed into that attitude. He can't do it, because 'tis against all bird laws. Anatomy teaches, ornithology preaches an owl a toe that can’t turn out so! I've made the white owl my study for years, and to see such a job almost moves me tears! Mr. Brown, I'm amazed you should be so gone crazed as to put a bird in that posture absurd! To look at that owl really bs dizziness; the man who stuffed don’t half know his business!” And the barber kept on shaving. “Examine those eyes. I'm filled with surprise taxidermists should pass off on you such poor glass; so unnatural they seem they'd make Audubon scream and John Bun'oug;s laugh to encounter such chaff. take that bird down; have him stuffed again, Brown!” And the barber kept on shaving. “With some sawdust and bark I would stuff in the dark an owl better than that. I could make an old hat look more like an owl than that horrid fowl, stuck up there so stiff like a side of : | woman painters, 2 woman coarse leather. In fact, about him there's not one natural feather.” Just then, with a wink and a sly, normal lurch, the owl, very gravely, got down from his perch, walked round and regarded his faultfinding critic (who oaife o then ity ‘oot s i an as % 'Y “mu"’:m'- t fault this time, “Y0! irn] af ‘;r; dv.::'t waste it again on a live T ‘Women Enter Male Realm.

LOUVRE’S “ART DOCTOR” SLAYS WORMS WITH GAS Famous Wooden Statue, “The Vir- #in of Eisenheim,” and 0ld Furni- ture Being Saved From Havoe. PARIS (#).—The “art doctor” of the Louvre museum has added poison gas to his medicine chest to cure old wood~ en statues of “worms.” ‘Worms are of the Anoblum Striatum family to the “doctor,” who is Fernand Cellerler. To the ordinary lover of old furniture they are “drillers.” The famous wooden statue known as “The Virgin of Eisenheim,” sculptured in Germany in the fifteenth century, two rears ago was discovered to be the jump- ng: place for squadrons of butterfiles. The usual old furniture treatment of gasoline and melted wax, injected into the worm holes and porous surfaces proved ineffeoti: ve. Cellerier then placed the statue in a metal cylinder and gave it a month’s “cure” in gas that asphyxiated present and future butterflies and impregnated it with a liquid that but! les don’t like. The statue, which seemed destined to crumble into powder is now safe for a few more centuries. — e Four Born February 12.
