WILD TALES OF SEA SERPENTS BRANDED FAKES Girl Scouts Scan Horizons, See Huge Monster in Puget Sound. .Science Seri ire WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. They that go down to the sea in ships, wrote the Psalmist, shall see "wonders.” No matter how long men follow the ways of the sea, they are always more or less strangers upon a strange element; even the most salt-seasoned of sailors is still as much agape as any tourist for a glimpse of something incredible that he can swear to when he gets ashore. So it comes to pass that the perennial aea-serpent, older than Odysseus and Hiram of Tyre, is synthesized anew every year, out of perfectly familiar things seen through a distorting layer of surface water or a sight-dimming cable's length of fog. Like the Flying Dutchman ana the Wandering Jew\ the sea-serpent moves whithersoever it listeth, and no man knoweth the day nor the hour nor the place of its next appearance. This year’s silly season has conjured the monster out of the depths of Puget Sound. It has been seen and described twlth wide disagreements) by seafarers and landlubbers, Indians. Girl Scouts and tourists. What Causes Phenomenon Why do people see sea-serpents? Even leaving out the Inevitable joke about seeing them through a whisky-glass darkly, why do they persist in seeing them when cold sober? There are several ways of seeing things that can be interpreted as sea serpents. A school of porpoises, at their endless game of aquatic somersaults, can easily be interpreted into writhing coils of a single huge serpentine animal. A broken length of hempen hawser, snagged on a half-sunken derelict or on shore rocks, may be pulled by the waves into lifelike twistings. Whale Resembles Snake The arms of a giant squid, dragged from its natural home at the deeper ocean levels by a feeding sperm whale, may be seen as snaky animals. The back of the whale itself, lying just awash, may be interpreted as a long, lean-bodied monster, with a raised tail-fluke seen as its head— quite literally a case of the head where the tail ! ought to be—and actually is! < One does not need to be drunk to see such things. Excitement alone is enough to make the mind misinterpret the signals from the eye, especially if these are distorted or dimmed by waves or thick atmosphere. And the desire to tell a tale in the tavern that will make landlubbers sit up and their eyes pop out can easily complete the rout of reason. KLAIBER PLAYERS TO APPEAR IN COMEDY Three-Act Plav to.

READ NEWSPAPER, IS ADVICE OF PROFESSOR Teach History Backwards; Tell Both Sides, Says Pedagog. By United Press BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., Nov. 2. History' teachers attending a convention here were advised to read the newspapers and teach history backwards by Clyde R. Miller of the education bureau of Columbia university. Miller said history taught by starting with the present and working backward is the psychological and natural approach. Denouncing those American history books, which “indicate that our side is always right,” Miller declared that pupils can understand the Hitler movement “only if they read the newspapers daily and work back through recent years to the World war and into the economic and political 1 roots of the war.” BANNER OF W.

Capital Capers Everything in Gold But the Treasury Makes No Seizures for Hoarding as Glittering Exhibition Goes On. t BY GEORGE ABELL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold fan holders, gold clippers for plucking hair from the face, gold crowns, gold feathers, gold buttons, gold pins—everything was gold and everything glittered at the Pan Atnerican Union the other day! The Charge d’Affairs of Mexico, Dr. Padilla-Nervo, entertained at a reception there to display the magnificent treasure discovered last year.

Music by the Marine band resounded from the patio, while hundreds of guests slowly climb-' ing the marble stairs gazed downward through the palms at the scarlet-coated musicians. Dressed in a morning coat, beaming at the lower doorway, stood Dr. Leo Rowe, directorgeneral of the Pan American Union. Guests began arriving before 4 o’clock. Limousines blocked the entrance. It was so warm in the hall downstairs that arriving notables mopped their foreheads, muttered: “It’s hotter than—South America.” The lovely Mme. of Rumania (minus her monocled husband) arrived breathing of violets and accompanied by her sister, Mme. de Lima e Silva, wife of the Brazilian ambassador. Both wore smartly trim suits, and hats which unquestionably bore the Reboux label, although you couldn’t see it. a u a FOLLOWED a long list of diplomats—Dr. Baron and Mme, Baron of Cubla, the affable Gon-zales-Zeledon of Costa Rica . . . The arbiter of elegance at the Argentine embassy, Senor Urquiza, whose book on etiquette is read on both sides of the Atlantic, arrived with his wife—tailored to perfection. “Magnifico! Magnifico!” exclaimed several Latins as he passed. It was hard to tell whether they referred to the treasure or Senor Urquiza’s coat. Colombian Minister Fabio Lozano passed the receiving line, bowing low over the ladies’ hands, uttering honeyed compliments in his Castilian Spanish. Fabio’s face never changes its dignified expression. The lips move, the eyelids flutter, the nostrils of the Roman nose pulsate faintly. But that is all. The countenance remains impassive. Hence, Fabio’s nickname (given in kindly fashion, for he is most popular), “The Great Stone Face.” a a a Minister finot of Bolivia arrived late, his car having been held up in traffic. Finally at high speed he dashed up the steps, nearly colliding with other late arrivals. At the corner of the building two young girls were arguing: One glanced at the open doorway, through which an acquaintance had just passed. “If she can get in,” said the girl to her friend, “then I can centainly make it.” Pablo Campos - Ortiz, Mexican first secretary, pointed out the many treasure curios to his friends. The exhibits are really amazing—delicate sculptures executed on jaguar bone inlaid with turquoise; a rock crystal goblet which two men labored all their lives to carve; exquisite bits of .gold workmanship; mosaics, jade, silver and gold . . . gold . . . gold . . . more gold than one often sees lying about.

B.V Science Service COPENHAGEN, Nov. 2.—Danes of Jutland have made clear their position—that thdy claim Shakespear’s hero, Hamlet, as a native son of Jutland—by setting up a memorial stone on the battle field where he is said to have fallen. Some years ago a hotel keeper of Elsinore, in eastern Denmark, labeled a local grave Halmet’s, to the distress of Danes who knew their ancient history. Denmark’s oldest historian, who lived about 1200 A. D., declared that Hamlet, after being crowned king, fell in battle on Ammelhede, or Halmet’s heath, and was buried sorqywhere on the field. The stone has been placed on a Viking mound in the field, .though it is emphasized that the exact spot where the king was biffied is entirely unknown. An excavation of the Viking mound failed to reveal any sign of burial. The inscription on the stone is translated as follows: “Amled, wisest of all In Viking days, played the fool until the hour of revenge. Hailed as king by the Jutes, he rests on Ammel Hede.” GIANT PUMPKIN RAISED Vegetable Weighing 71 Pounds Grown in Wisconsin.

ENOUGH LAWS ON BOOKS NOW, SAYS SENATOR Hatch of New Mexico Has No Pet Schemes to Save Nation. By Scripps-Hotcard Art espnper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The new senator from New Mexico will not make the rafters ring with rabblerousing speeches nor ride his hobbies about Washington. “I have no pet schemes for saving the nation,” said Senator Carl Hatch at his desk in the senate office building. He is a sljght, quietspoken, sun-tanned westerner, a lawyer and a liberal with some leanings toward the right. He comes from Clovis, the town of his predecessor, Senator Sam Bratton, and is a Democrat. “I am anxious to assist the administration in any way I can. I consider the President a great leader, and his program a magnificent one. Otherwise I think that the states are better off with less, instead of more legislation.” Favors Russian Pact Inflation? “The dollar must reach that level where debts can be repaid in money of the same value as it had when the debts were contracted. I’m not for uncontrolled inflation. The President's idea seems to be to try out various methods without injuring the nation’s financial structure.” Russian recognition? Tm for it. 1 made up my mind to that long ago. It is foolish to delay longer in dealing with a great nation eager to trade with us.” Regulation of securities? “The securities law should have been adopted years ago. . It would have saved much suffering. The rights of individuals do not include the right to flood the nation with questionable stock.” Puts Stress on Security Civil liberties? “We can not be too tolerant in the next few years. Free speech, free press, free assemblage must be conserved at all costs. The use of force should be avoided except as a last extremity.” Congress’ job? “Well, I think the next congress should confine its program to as few things as possible. In general, it should seek to solidify by laws the gains of the NRA and it should stress security for the masses. By that I mean unemployment insurance, old age pensions, complete child labor abolition, minimum wages and similar social legislation.” NEGRO ATTACKER OF 15 DIESJN NOOSE ‘I Have Made My Bed,’ His Last Words.

NATIONAL PARK SURPLUS BISON GO TO INDIANS 235 Yellowstone Buffalo Will Be Distributed to Reservations. PV Pciencf .sv j- r YELLOWSTONE PARK. Wyo, Nov. 2.—Surplus buffalo from Yellowstone park again will be distributed to nearby Indian reservations, according to Superintendent Roger W. Toll. The purpose is two-fold—-to augment the Indians' food supply and to bring back to them a bit of the glamour of the past when buffalo roamed the range in almost countless numbers and they ate bison meat every day. Authority for the disposition of surplus buffalo from the Yellowstone was granted by congress when it was found that these animals, at one time almost extinct, were increasing at such a rate that it was necessary to determine the maximum number the park range would support and keep the herd down to that number. For the past decade at least the effort has been to keep the buffalo to a maximum of 1.000 head. / Herd to Be Reduced This year, owing to poor range conditions, the short hay crop at the buffalo range, and a shortage of funds with which to furnish enough additional hay to feed 1.000 of these great animals, it has been decided to reduce the herd to 900. Between 200 and 235 buffalo will be available for disposal this year. Superintendent Toll estimates. Disposition of the surplus animals may be made in three ways. The live animals may be donated to zoological parks or other preserves for show and breeding purposes or the animals may be killed in the park and the meat sold by contract or donated for charitable purposes. During the last two or three years of depressed financial conditions, the surplus buffalo have gone into meat for distribution through the relief agencies of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho and to neighboring Indians. Indians Request Surplus This year Superintendent Toll reports that sufficient requests from Indian agencies are on hand to insure the utilization of all the available surplus. In fact, the requests exceed the supply of meat that will be available. The superintendent of the Blackfeet Indian reservation, Montana, already has requested for the Indians of that reservation the meat of at least seventy-five . buffalo and more if available. In addition, he has asked for a few live animals from the Yellowstone herd with which to start a herd of buffalo on Blackfeet reservation.
