THE JEFFERSONiAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. September 4, 1920—Page 5 MARK ADAPTABILITY OF MAN Automobile, Airplane, and Submarine Prove His Right to Rule Over the Natural Kingdom. In the competition for survival, leaf-eating insects must be green, like their prey, or perish; woodpeckers, like the'bark; the tiger, striped like sunshine through the rushes. The fittest survive. "A black sheep" is more than a figure of speech.^ The struggle for existence demands his murder in the flock of white, conspicuous in contrast. Adaptation or death. The crafty little chameleon is the prince of color adapters. Faculties used, are sharpened; If neglected, they waste away into vestigia—the appendix in man. Eyes of moles and burrowers are slowly closed wiith skin and fur. The fluffy little lap dog has weak eyes. But cavern toads, with eyesight almost gone, will recover dim perception in slowly graduated light. And night-prbwling cats improve their sight to penetrate shadow land. Man noticed the pupils of his eyes contract in sunshine, and enlarge in darkness—saw the bat, and understood. On all sides he saw this principle at work: Bears, fur coated, restricted to the cold; the dolphin, in the sea; the eagle, the bird of freedom, alert always to escape in flight. He therefore devised the automobile, the airplane and the submarine, to jump from mountain top to ocean bottom. This adaptability of his body of diversified surroundings has made him monarch of the natural kingdom. TURNING AWAY FROM MEAT In New York Big Hotels Meals Entirely of Vegetables Are Increasing in Popularity. According to the New York Times the diners of the American metropolis are becoming vegetarians. Approximately one-seventh to one-fifth of the guests at the hotels here today are ordering vegetables for their meals instead of meats. All of the big hotels keep a very careful record of the sales of the different items on the menus for each day, and a recapitulation made recently at the Hotel Pennsylvania revealed that, a surprising percentage of patrons omitted meat items entirely in their lunch and dinner orders. While the percentage for lunch was much higher than that for dinner, the number of dinner guests who refrained from meat entirely was also very large. In the opinion of Chef Julien Jac-quier of the Pennsylvania this is the result of years of emphasis on the value of vegetarianism. The Tegetarl-an, a few years ago, was very generally the butt of the comic papers; btit with the war a great deal more came to be thought of him by people who found that a thoroughly satisfactory meal could be made from vegetables and at much less cost. Chef Jacquier believes that this is responsible for the many calls given nowadays in the big hotels for vegetable luncheons and dinners, which have a special place on the menus. ANCIENT LAWS OF INTEREST RUSSIA LAND OF HOLIDAYS Almost Innumerable Occasions When All Work Is Suspended and Time Spent in Pleasure. Russian people observe rigorously all religious holidays—five at Christmas, ten at Easter, three at Carnival, and almost every week one extra day, when an anniversary of some saint is celebrated. On these days everything is closed, and nobody works. The six weeks of fasting preceding Easter are strictly observed by everybody, and the more devout do not even eat eggs or drink milk, and do not use sugar, because it is refined with blood. The last three days of Holy week are still more respected, for no food at all is consumed. For Easter Sunday, very large cakes, sometimes three or four feet high, are cooked with beautiful ornaments on the top, and eggs skillfully painted. Both cakes and eggs, with other eatables, are brought on Easter eve near the church and placed all about on the ground. After the midnight mass a procession of priests and choirs comes out and walks around the church, blessing all the food, which is arranged before them as in a market. Easter Sunday and the two following days are dedicated to paying visits. Every man calls upon his acquaintances. Visitors are obliged to eat and drink wherever they happen to go, otherwise they will offend the host. Oldest Known Written Code Has Recently Been Translated by Eminent French Scientist. What is said to be the oldest known written code of laws In the world, probably antedating that of Hammurabi by at least 1,000 years, has been discovered in part among the hitherto untranslated clay tablets from Nippur at the University of Pennsylvania museum. The Hammurabi code was prepared about 2100 B. C, and was discovered about 20 years ago on a large diorite stone by French explorers. The laws, just translated by Abbe Scheil of Paris, deal with responsibilities of hired servants, rentals, rights of slave women who have borne children to their masters, punishment for adultery, etc. One interesting statute provides that rentals must run for three years in case a man has taken over a house the owner does not know how to manage. This Is somewhat obscure and may mean that all rentals were for that term. In any event property could not be idle or be improperly used. In case a slave bore children to her master she and the offspring were free, and if the master married the slave the children became legitimate. Demi-Gods of Old Rome. Castor and Pollux, also called the Dioscuri, were heroes or demi-gods of early Grecian mythology. They were brothers and said to be the sons of Zeus, who in Grecian mythology corresponds to Jupiter in the mythology of Rome. Castor was famous for his skill in taming and managing horses, and Pollux for his skill in boxing. Although they were buried, says the Grecian poet Homer, yet they came to life every other day and enjoyed divine honors. The worship of Castor and Pollux was introduced at Rome at an early time. They were held to have aided the Romans in battle with the Latins, or natives of Italy, and a temple was erected to them in the forum. After these two mythical heroes was the ship named fn which St. Paul completed his memorable voyage to Italy, in order that he might appeal to Caesar for justice £nd protection. Eskimo Inherently Honest. The Eskimo regards honesty as paramount. He . will never misrepresent facts, and although he may want to dispose of an article badly he will rather depreciate it than run the risk of over praising. A man who lies or deceives another is severely punished. An Eskimo will not permit a fellow man to need for food or clothing, once he has enough for himself and his family. War, to the parka-hooded men of the Nortfi, is unknown. They decide differences by staging dance duels and outsinging each other, and old men act as judges to decide winners. In this way honor Is satisfied. Brutality is unknown. In combating nature, fighting the walrus, the whale and the bear with primitive weapons, the Eskimo displays unusual coolness and plans his way out of danger with extreme self-possession. Indian Is Model Soldier. Accusations that he was a German spy caused Odis Leador, Choctaw Indian, to be made a hero and incidentally to be chosen as a model American soldier for a portrait made to hang upon the walls of the French Federal building. Leador, in war days a foreman on a ranch near Calvin, Okla., learned from idle rumor in his neighborhood that he was accused of being a German spy. He immediately enlisted and in the course of a brilliant war record was cited for bravery. During the engagement for which he was cited he captured two machine guns and 18 prisoners, manning a machine gun for three days after the remainder of his crew had been killed. Dowarreux, the French artist, picked upon Leador as his Ideal of a typical American soldier and made a painting from him which now graces the walls of the French Federai building. Twice wounded and twice gassed, Leador has been doing vocational work and only recently brought home his bride to McAlester from Oklahoma City.—Wichita Beacon. Largest Motor Ship. The Africa, which was launched at Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec. 11, 1919, by the East Asiatic company, is said to be the largest motor ship in the world. Her dimensions are: Length over all, 464 feet 6 inches; beam on frames, 60 feet; depth from awning deck, 42 feet; displacement, 18,600 tons, deadweight, 13,250 tons. Her main engines are two six-cylinder, four-stroke cycle motors of ordinary type. Each engine develops 2,250 indicated horse-power at 115 revolutions per minute. The diameter and stroke of the cylinders are 740 millimeters and 1,150 millimeters respectively. Value of Snakes. Most people have\a decided shrinking from snakes, which is not to be wondered at in tropical countries, where th«ir bite is venomous and often fatal. But the grass snake ought not to be confounded with the rattlers, cobras or pythons. It is as harmless to humanity as a frog and a good deal more useful. No greater enemy to bugs is in existence. And slugs are among the most hurtful of garden and field pests. They keep down the numbers also of such other pests as mice, shrews and other small rodents. But as slug destroyers they deserve to be cherished rather than massacred at ilght, which is their usual fate. Women Expert Life Savers. One man at least chooses woman life savers in preference to men for patrolling his beach. That is Mr. Gray, manager of the parks pools in St. Louis, Mo. According to Col. W. E. Longfellow, life saving expert of the Red Cross, Mr. Gray declares that since trying women at this job during the war when the bronzed heroes were abroad, he would rather have them than men. Many women are now qualifying as lif« savers and are getting the training for their tests in the Y. W. C. A. and school pools throughout the country. Gifted Imagination. "Mrs. Ayres has great gifts of imagination, hasn't she." "I don't know. Why do you think so?" "I heard her speaking of the flat they live in as 'our town house.'"— Boston Transcript TWO GOVERNMENT (Continued from Page 1, Col. 3.) Public General Laws. O'n the contrary, the exercise of such power by the counties is expressly denied by the-Act_of 1918, Chapter 456. No such power having been conferred upon the County none such can be exercised by it. It therefore follows, that if this Charter should be adopted we would have two governments in Baltimore county—one directed by the County Commissioners and the other by the County Council. The amendment is not self-executing. Nothing could be done under it without an Act of the Legislature granting the powers to put it in force, and it was, therefore, provided by Section 2 that "The General Assembly at its first session after the adoption of this amendment shall by Public General Law provide a grant of express' powers for such county or counties as may hereafter form a Charter under the provisions of this Article." Mr. Ritchie, who was then Attorney-General, advised Governor Harrington that the passage of an Act of Assembly was required. The authorities are uniform in sjup-port of the proposition that a Constitutional provision is not self-executing which requires the legislature to make provisions for carrying it into effect. And in the Act by which it did make provisions for putting it into operation the power to remove the County Commissioners, who are constitutional officers, was forbidden in express terms, and it was further provided that the powers therein granted "Shall only be exercised to the extent that the same are not provided for by the Public General Law." ____________ SALES AND LEGAL NOTICES.
