ALL ACCORDING TO NATURE
Animals and Birds Universally Obey
Law Seemingly implanted by a
Supreme Intelligence.
Strange tilings happen In the
Jungles. Carveth Wells, explorer and
lecturer, tells about the hornbills,
long-tailed birds so big they often
measure live feet from tail tip to
beak. In Malay jungles Wells saw
the male hornblll during the mating
season drive the female Into a hollow
tree, then wall up the opening with
mud. This protects Mamma Hornbill
against enemies. She stays in her
Jail until egg*’, dre laid and hatched.
Then pa lets her out. Meantime he
has fed her through a small opening
left in the mud. He gathers the food
by using his saw-toothed beak to cut
fruits and flowers from their stalks.
Maybe that’s where man originally
got his idea for the saw, now used
to cut boards.
Not necessary to go as far as Ma
laysia. In Canada, when timber wolves
mate, Mrs. Wolf hunts a cavern with a
roof that slopes downward to meet
the floor in a V-shape. She pushes her
young far back in the V. This Is to
keep Pa Wolf from eating his family.
Mother Wolf can get at the babies
easily, with her small body. Pa Wolf,
having a larger body, cannot wedge
himself in far enough to reach them.
Wise nature that makes Mother Wolf
smaller than pa. Wise Mother Wolf
that knows, in advance, her husband’s
appetite and how to ba file it.
Seals swim north to rookeries or
breeding grounds. The male seals go
first, house hunting. After they have
located good homes. n«ar plentiful
food supply, messengers swim back
to summon the cow seals.
In the baby ward of a hospital you
see infants, each in his own b6d, all
very orderly. Mother Bee does the
Kame, builds an apartment house of
cells with wax walls. In each cell
une egg Is laid and one individual
raised. Wasps have the same system,
manufacturing In their bodies the pa
per with which they make the cells.
Ants build their nurseries in the earth
or rotted trees, with many bedrooms,
also corridors through which Mother
Ant dashes about, peering Into each
room to see that baby is O. K., then
on to the next.
You cannot explain these peculiar
things In nature, any more than you
can explain why a male peacock al
ways has four wives, never more, nev
er less. All forms of life seem to re
volve around the function of having
children. Considering the Intricacies
and far-sightedness of what we call
nature, It Is bewildering how any man
can fail to believe that a Supreme In
telligence is behind It all.
These Men Will Purchase Sites for Post Offices

First steps have been taken by Postmaster General Work to carry out the recently announced policy of govern
ment ownership of post-office buildings. This picture shows the postmaster general and other officials with the fifteen
Inspectors who had just arrived in Washington to be trained as real estate experts. They will be sent to various
of the country to Investigate property with a view to purchasing sites for new buildings.

* ———
Richest Man Rarely Seen in Tar
rytown and is Guarded From
All Questioners.
GIVES CAMERAMEN A CHANCE
Recently He Let Photographers Shoot
Him to Heart’s Content, but Re
porters Still Are Barred—
Stories About Dimes.
Tarrytown, N. Y. —Is John D. Rocke
feller, passing the Indian summer of
his life on his vast estate in the Po
cantico hills, at last letting down the
barriers he has always raised against
photographers and reporters?
This is a question which has been
interesting the newspaper profession
ever since the world’s richest man, on
a recent Sunday, permitted camera
men to snap him to their heart’s con
tent after they had consented to fol
low him into church for service.
Mr. Rockefeller, who bears the repu
tation of being one of the most cam
era-shy men In America, may be be
coming more lenient In his attitude
toward photographers, but as yet he
has given no indication of taking re
porters into his confidence.
An effort to Interview Mr. Rocke
feller on the recent occasion of his
eighty-fourth birthday anniversary—
made, as usual, through a third party
representing the household —brought
the response “Impossible.’’ As no re
porters as yet have succeeded in
storming the well-guarded gates of the
Rockefeller home, the modern Croesus
goes uninterviewed.
Enigma to Fellow Townsmen.
Even to his townsmen the little
man, slight of frame, who appears in
mid-summer in leather waistcoat, over
coat and muffler, is very much of an
enigma.
Tarrytown points out to each visi
tor the home of John D. Rockefeller,
urges tWe visitor to go up and see
where Rockefeller lives, talks con
stantly about Rockefeller —but surely
sees him itself.
Very seldom do Tarrytowners get
Inside the gates which guard the big
home back in tlie hills. Once in a
while they see John D. come down
town and sit in his machine while a
chauffeur goes Into a bank or a store
—but Tarrytown almost never talks to
its richest citizen. He comes and
goes —there is excitement while he is
downtown, and discussion afterward.
And that is all of Tarrytown’s claim
on Its most famous citizen.
Ever since the oil king celebrated
his eigth-fourth anniversary Tarry
town has been seething over the ques
tion of who is its oldest citizen. There
Is no question as to the most famous.
An ancient who sits in front of the
big hardware store just around the
corner from the station concedes first
place to John D. The ancient admits
he is only eighty-three. But an Italian
has asserted his grandfather is eighty
eight, and there Is a fanner who Jays
claim to ninety. Still, even in the

New York. —The loss of time due to
strikes In the present year will un
doubtedly exceed that of last year, ac
cording to figures compiled by the Na
tional Industrial Conference Boai*d, 10
East Thirty-ninth street. The board
estimates that at present 1,250,000
workers are Idle because of strikes
in various industries, entailing a direct
loss of approximately 10,000,000 man
hours of work each day.
There were 2,207 strikes and lock
outs in Hie United States In 1021. says
the board report, or less than any of
the live preced’ng years. The number

face of odds Tarrytown stands loyally
behind Its prominent citizen and an
nounces to the world that its oldest 1
citizen today is none other than the
man who made oil famous.
But the town maintains that Mr.
Rockefeller Is still a youngster in
spirit.
“Any man who plays golf as fre
quently as he does,’’ began one citi
zen, when he was interrupted with n
question as to whether John D’s. pri
vate links were regular size.
“Certainly, but John D. goes around
slowly,” replied the citizen, but an
other Tarrytowner broke in with a
denial.
“It is not. It is only about four
holes of a normal course. And John
D. takes three hours to make two of
’em.”
Last but not least. In Tarrytown’s
viewpoint toward its leading citizen is
the tradition of the dimes, the day of
days for the boys and girls. Spasmod
ically John D. Rockefeller gives 10-
cent pieces away to children. How
did it start?
Stories About Dimes.
Three stories are current:
Number I—Three1 —Three boys, many
years ago, walked up the hill, climbed
the stone wall, went up to the porch
and saw Mr. Rockefeller. They asked
him for a dime apiece—and got It.
Since then, it is said, the oil magnate
has held his yearly party.
Number 2 —A boy was standing
UNITED STATES GETS STOLEN CARS
2,120 Automobiles Recovered by
Uncle Sam’s Theft Squad.
Burns Men Get Conviction of 1,113
Under Dyer Automobile Law—Amer
ican Automobile Association
Helps Federal Officers.
Washington.—Since the passage of
tpe Dyer ami-theft automobile law in
October, 1919, the bureau of investiga
tion, Department of Justice, has re
covered 2,120 automobiles, worth at a
fair second-hand valuation $2,567,208,
according to figures for the
American Automobile association.
The department has investigated
2,391 cases, which involved 4,385 per
sons. There were 2,773 persons ar
rested, of whom 1,533 were indicted
and 1,113 convicted. These convicted
persons received sentences amount
ing In the aggregate to 2,350 yea A 6
months 11 days, and paid fines of
$41,140.
The American Automobile associa
tion took an active part in supporting
the Dyer anti-theft bill, which was
prepared by Representative L. C.
Dyer of Missouri, who is an active
member of the Automobile Club of
Missouri, and who was assisted in ob
taining facts necessary for the prep
aration of this measure by the Auto
mobile Club of Missouri and the
A. A. A. Credit for the enforcement
of the law is due largely to William

was 3,789; in 1917, 4,450; In 1918,
3,353; In 1919, 3,577, and in 1920, 3,25-1.
The number of persons involved In
1,587 of the strikes and 95 of the lock
outs reported in 1921 was 1,085,653.
The total duration of 1,409 of the
strikes and 70 of the lockouts last
year was 00,105 days. The average
duration of the ctrikes in 1921 was 00
days. Estimating the average wage
of the workers in these strikes and
lockouts at $2 a day, the total loss of
wages alone due to this number of
labor disputes in 1921 would be about
$132,000,000.
Two and a half times as many
strikes occurred In the first half of the
years as In the last half, says the re
port. the largest being that of the ma
rine workers in May, Involving about
140,000 strikers and embracing all the
principal ports of the United States.

Number 3—A lad was lost. He
wandered onto the Rockefeller mys

took him into the house, gave him a
dime and sent him home. And the
10-cent party sprang from that.
Whatever the cause, “dime day’’ has
become to the youth of Tarrytown a
' day apart, ranking with Christmas

The outstanding feature of the Dyer
law is that it places interstate trans
portation of stolen motor vehicles un
der federal law and makes such an
action punishable in federal courts.
Formerly hands of unscrupulous men
had maintained assembling factories
nr various points and were able to so
aher it stolen car as to make it prac
tically unrecognizable to the original
owner
Officials of the A. A. A. are work

other organizations to induce motor
car manufacturers to mark permanent
ly all automobiles so as to make iden
tification more easy.

setts third with 198. As usual, the
board states, New York city led among
cities with 180 strikes and lockouts,
followed by Chicago with 89, Philadel
phia with 49 and Boston with 43.
“Considered by industry groups, the
building trades in 1921 led all others
with 568 strikes and lockouts,” the re
port says. “Printing and publishing
came second with 478 such disturb
ances, the clothing industry was third
with 202, and the metal trades were
fourth with 188. In 1920 also the
building trades led with a total of 511
strikes and lockouts, while in 1919.
1918. 1917 and 1916 that doubtful dis
tinction belonged to the metal trades
with totals of £Bl, 411, 515 and
respectively.
“In the last three years an increas
ingly large proportion of strikes and
lockouts have been settled in favor of
the employers, while In the preceding
three years, when the war was still in
progress, the reverse was true, This
may be said to reflect the declining
power of the labor organizations in the
yearn following the war.”
