Pacific Coast' Beaver Shows Queer Traits A VERY interesting but little known animal found in Washington, Or- egon and Northern California is the mountain beaver or boomer, known to the Indians as the sewellel. In gen- eral appearance it looks like a wood- chuck without a tail. It is about 12 inches long without its tail, which adds an inch to its total length, and it weighs about 4 pounds. It is stoutly built and has a broad, flat head with a blunt muzzle; small, beady eyes, moderate-sized ears and very long whiskers. Its legs are short. The mountain beaver is a sociable animal, living in communities like a prairie dog. While it has been found on high, dry ground, it seems ta pre- fer low, damp places where there is plenty of water. Here several fam- ilies will make their burrows, and in the burrows they stay most of the time. Twice a day, in the evening about sundown and again in the morn- ing at daylight, they come out to make a meal, one of their favorite foods being the stem of a kind of water lily. Although the mountain beaver is of !a shy and timid disposition, it will | fight fiercely when cornered. One of The second line is went | its accomplishments, which you would hardly believe from looking at the animal, is the ability to climb bushes to a height of 4 feet above the ground. Fortunately for itself, the mountain beaver has no value in the eyes of a white man, but the Indians used to hunt it for its skin, which they used for making robes, and probably also for its flesh. Theré is no reason to think it would make any worse eating than either a squirrel or a woodchuck. By All Means. Father—Well, son, how did you get along at school today?

'HE Marian Chace School of the | Dance, which opened its sixth sea- son with a formal housewarming in honor of the enlarged and newly dec- orated school building at 17121 I street last Sunday, is now receiving enrollments for the day and evening classes. There will be two new features to the school curriculum. Mary Gres- ham, who studied under Arthur Fried- heim and Godfrey Galston and at Bush Conservatory and the New York School of Music and the Arts, has been added to the school faculty and will conduct a lecture course in music appreciation. The course will be ar- ranged for the layman wishing to gain a greater appreciation of concerts as well as for the student of music and the dance. On alternate Sunday evenings lec- tures, with demonstration on the the- ory and history of the dance, with an open-forum discussion, will be held. These lectures will be cpen to the pub- lic, as well as to the students in the various branches of the school. The dance classes are designed to suit the particular needs of the indi- vidual. A special class for men inter- ested in dance exercise. which has for the past year been in the school course, is now being taught by Michael Logan. High Light THE SUNDAY BTAR, WASHINGTON, D.

In front of him the other Dorset players were clapping their hands and “talking it up” briskly, but for a few seconds Paul | stood motionless and silent. He | wanted to do nothing just then but | glory in the fact that at last he was actually playing quarerback for Dor- set High School! ‘Then Tommy Plumber, Dorset cap- tain and halfback, looked over at him |and grinned understandingly. Paul | grinned back at Tommy, and set him- | self for the kickoff. The referee's whistle shrilled. The kick was high and straight, and Paul saw that it would come to him, He tensed himself, his eyes glued to the ball as it arched through the air. This was his big moment, the moment he had lived for through two long vears of toiling with the scrubs while older, bigger, more ex- perienced quarterbacks piloted Dor- set’s team. He would not fail!

His voice was brisk and exultant as the teams lined up and he barked the signal. Tommy Plumber knifed off tackle for 11 yards and a first down. ‘Then Paul broyght into play all the knowledge, all the cunning, that he had acquired during those two years of sitting on the bench. Expertly, unerringly, he called his plays, con- fusing the Cambria defense, giving them no time to get set. Without the loss of a yard or even a failure to gain, Dorset carried the ball across | the Cambria goal line for a touch- | down. “Nice going, Paul!” cried Tommy attempt at conversion. He slapped | him encouragingly on the shoulder. | “You're going to show 'em this year, aren't you, kid?” ‘PAUL grinned and nodded happily. 1 Probably Tommy realized, more | than any one else, just how much this s of History— on 525 A.D.

But there wasn't any better man this year! Paul felt a grim satisfac- tion in that. Two other boys had been out for the job, and had given him a good battle. But his knowledge and experience offset their size, and | his cleverness as a field general more | than matched their greater ability as at quarter, finally realizing his ambi- tion, reaping the reward for his two | | years of loyal, faithful service on the second team. IT WAS fitting that this first game of the season should bring not only a victory for Dorset, but a personal triumph for Paul. And it did. Cam- bria was not a strong team and Paul was keyed up to play at the very top of his game. As a result, the Dorset rooters were treated to an expected display of able field generalship by their quarterback and also to a bril- liant and unexpected exhibition of ball carrying.

ANY a foot ball team can gain ground readily around midfield, but when they get down within scoring distance of the goal their offensive bogs down and they make no progress whatever. The reason, of course, is that the defensive team gets tougher when they are fighting with their backs to the wall and the advancing team then has a harder job. The real test of any team's offensive power, therefore, is its ability to gain steadily inside the 20-yard line. The same thing is true of individuals. There are plenty of people who breeze along and make a fine showing when the going is easy. But when they get down “inside the 20-yard line” and conditions get really tough, they fold up and allow themselves to be stopped in their tracks. 8o don't judge others finally until you see them up against a diffi- cult situation. Notice how they react to trouble and hardship. Then you'll be able to make a really Acc\._u'lte estimate of the kind of stuff they have in them. And that's just as true of you as it is of cthers. How well does your offensive work inside the 20-yard line? Theodora—Part Two So Paul was in there | at the end of the third quarter he had | reeled off runs of 20, 25 and 40 yards and had scored a touchdown. And the Dorset cheering section, happy at being on the long end of a 26-0 score, | roared its approval of his playing as he trotted from the fleld. Is was a jubilant team that gathered | in the Dorset dressing room after the game. “How about winning the district | champlonship this year, coach?” cried | Steve Brock. who played center “Would you like that?” COACH TRAVERS, a big man who spoke quietly but earnestly, smiled | and sald nothing. But every player on the squad knew what winning the district title would mean to him. His teams had not been very successful during the past few vears and Dorset had never won a district champlon- ship. There was talk in town of get- ting rid of Coach Travers. A title would silence that sort of criticism in short order. “We'll win it for you, coach!” yelled Tommy Plumber from under a shower. “Who's going to stop us? Even Med- wick, with that all-State quarterback of theirs, the great Gabby Gabriel, won’t lick us this year. Just wait and | see!” Paul took little part in the locker room chatter. He was simply too happy to talk much. And during the week end one thing after another added to his satisfaction. Everybody that he met complimented him on his fine game. The Sunday paper praised him on its sports page. And at prac- tice on Monday Coach Travers com- mended him quietly, but sincerely. All this didn’t turn Paul's head. But deep inside him there was a joy- WiTH HER SAVINGS SHE BOUGHT A LITTLE HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.

THIS WAS HIS BIG MOMENT, THE MOMENT HE HAD LIVED FOR THROUGH TWO LONG YEARS. ful pride and satisfaction that made him feel the world was a pretty good place to live in, THEN came the blow—the unpre- dictable, impossible catastrophe that couldn't happen, but did. His mother, father and sister had finished dinner when he returned from prac- tice on Monday and were sitting in the living room while he was eating. His father was talking about the new manager at the plant where he worked, and suddenly on Paul's star- tled ears there fell the words, “Mr. | Gabriel.” Paul abruptly stopped eating, while | & queer sensation made his spine prickle. He arose hastily and walked into the living room. “Dad,” he said tensely, “who is Mr. Gabriel?" Mr. Shields looked at him in sur- | price. “Gabriel?” he repeated. “Why, he’s the new manager down at the shop. Just came on the job today. He used to be manager of the Elkins & Curtis plant over in Medwick.” PAUL felt as though icy hands hnd{ reached down into his chest and | were squeezing his heart. He moistened his lips. “That must be Gabby Gabriel's father,” he said, his voice strained. “Gabby Gabriel plays quarterback for Medwick High, you know.” He swal- lowed hard, and then asked, “Is—is the whole Gabriel family leaving Med- wick and moving here?” Mr. Shields stared at him. “Why, yes, 1 guess they are, Paul,” he re plied. “Mr. Gabriel has found a house, and they are coming in just a few da; Paul slowly sank into a chair. So Gabby Gabriel, star of Medwick's team and all-State quarterback last year, was moving to Dorset! He would be entering Dorset High School and going out for the Dorset foot ball team. Mrs. Shields was gazing at Paul in alarm. “Paul!” she exclaimed, “What in the world is the matter? Are you sick?” Paul somehow managed to smile. | “I'm all right,” he said finally. “Just tired from practice, that's all.” (To be continued next Sunday.) Danubian Corn Off.

THE line of fortune, or sun line, is a partner of the fate line in that it is the fame and fortune that one's career will bring. Like the fate line, it may rise any place between the wrist and the middle of the palm. The nearer the wrist it rises, the earlier in life good fortune begins. If the sun line is long, straight and unbroken (A-A, Fig. 1), it foretells good fortune all through life. If it rises at the time the fate line leaves the life line (A, Fig. 3), then success starts with your first business away from home. If, however, it begins be- tween the head and heart lines, there is not much money until after 40. An island in the line (B, Fig. 2) reveals loss of money .or property.

These strips may be ob- tained at any lumber yard and some- times they can be picked up in the scrap pile of a woodworking mill. This strip of wood is cut into 28 pi®es with a small hand saw, making the cut pieces 2 inches long. The edges of each piece are carefully rounded by rubbing each edge across a piece of sandpaper. Then each piece is divided into two sections by drawing a pen-and-ink line through These spaces are then marked witk round dots of ink or water color paint.

S!RENA BLANDISH is one of the best behaved canines this old pet editor has even seen. Also, Kenneth Roberts, her, master, is world famous. Perhaps an ability to get ahead in human life, to realize ambitions, is the same thing as ability to bring up a dog properly. The night I called on Kenneth Rob- erts, the famous historical novelist, at his Summer home in the town of Ken- nebunk Beach, Me,, a northeast storm ‘was slapping rain down in sheets. Off the coast the fog horns were moaning and on the highways cars moved cau- tiously. But inside the Roberts house all was snug and dry and warm. Above | the fireplace was a big painting of eighteenth-century fighting ships, and on the walls were old pictures and old letters from such men as Benedict Arnold before his treachery. Mr. Roberts is a big fellow, 6 feet or more in height, and broad enough to lift 200 pounds without a strain. Beside him Serena Blandish looks Famous Novelist’s Dog Dances for Pet Editor ‘mighty small. She didn't bark when I knocked, nor did she run up after I entered to put her feet on my pants. Mr. Roberts had been talking with me | for several minutes before Serena loped from the dining room and jumped to her place on the sofa. There she stayed until called down by her | master. | “Want to dance?” he asked her, after I'd inquired if she could do any tricks. “A nice dance, huh?” Serena seemed to grin at him. Up she stood on her hind feet, and danced around eight or ten times. Then she dropped to all four feet, glanced up to see if anything else was required, and jumped back to the sofa. 8he goes with Mr. and Mrs. Roberts to Italy in the Winter and superin- tends the business of catching the sparrows that make life miserable in | that particular portion of II Duce’s domain.

JRECISTRATION at the Washington College of Music indicates a dis- tinet increase in numbers in both the college department and the prepara. tory school. The college announces an extension of activity in the form of added lecture courses, additional con- certs by the faculty, guest artists and students and the continuation of the established curriculum. A feature of the normal training courses will be the presentation of a program of study embracing technique, interpretation and repertoire and all the theoretical subjects. Edwin Hughes, New York pianist and guest teacher at the college, will conduct lecture classes upon the occa- sion of each monthly visit, the first lecture to be given tomorrow. Robert Ruckman of the college faculty gave a program in the series of Summer concerts arranged at Mr. Hughes’ home. Emanuel Zetlin resumes his work in the violin department this week. Three of Mr. Zetlin's pupils, Wilhelm Kurasch of Los Angeles, Harry Syk- | man of San Francisco and Paula Starke of Boston, will be heard in re- citals this Winter. Mr. Zetlin's lec- tures of last season will be continued and topics of interest to the layman | and to the violin student will be given | at intervals of two weeks. Julia Schelling spent a Summer | motoring through England. Included | in her itinerary were attendances at | several historic play houses of Lon- | don. Myron Whitney will resume his \ teaching next week, returning from a | Summer spent in New England. The | ‘Thursday evening repertoire class, the informal gathering of advanced stu- dents, has become so popular that a | similiar activity for preparatory school | students takes the form of a “playing hour” each Friday afternoon. Special normal training for teachers | of piano-forte in Washington and thel vicinity, based on the SBherwood pro- gram of study, is being offered at the college and will be conducted by Fanny Amstutz Roberts, president. ‘Th!' program of study will include a | thorough selection of correlated sub- jects paralleling the lectures to be given by Mr. Hughes. Work done throughout this gourse may be applied toward the bachelor of music degree from either the college or the Sher- { wood Music School of Chicago. | A faculty tea is being held this aft- ernoon from 4 until 7 o'clock. Mr. | Hughes, Mr. Zetlin and Miss Scheli- | ing will assist in receiving. Farm Exports Cut. EXPORTS of farm products fell off sharply during July, the last month for which full data are avail- able. Loss of cotton and pork and pork products markets were largely responsible for the decline. Cotton, for instance, stood at an index figure of 84, the lowest since July, 1931, when it stood at 75. | Tobacco stood at 50, compared with | 64 in July of last year. Wheat and flour were at the lowest index figure on record, standing at | 17, the total being 1,000,000 bushels, as compared with 2,000,000 bushels last year. Last year 33,000,000 pounds of lard were exported in July. This year 5,- 000,000 pounds were sold abroad. Pork and pork products stood at an index of 21, compared with 37 a year 8go. 381.000 Cawle Killed. A WIDESPREAD probe of dairy herds {h the United States found about 40 per cent affected with Bang's disease. The total number of herds inspected was 212,482. Out of these herds, 381,010 animals were reinoved. The average value of the animals re- moved was $56, toward which the Federal Government paid $24 and an average salvage of $21 was obtained.
