There was legislative activity In 25 of the 48 states in the country, according to the bulletin, and a total of 40 individual bills were introduced In legislatures of those states. New York leads the list of states In the number of bills introduced, with a a total of ten. New York in the East and Oklahoma in the West will be the first states to put some form of old age protection Into effect,' the association, believes. "All si^QS point to New York soon becoming the first industrial state in the East to put into operation an effective system of old-age pensions," the bulletin says. "The past month has made considerable history in the movement for this legislation in the empire state. The unanimity with which the divergent groups in the state have endorsed the subject has surprised even the most sanguine advocates of the cause of the aged." The bulletin then relates a brief history of the popular movements in furtherance of the pension project which developed during the month. The first step was the calling of a conference on the subject by Dr. Chnrles H. Johnson, director of the State Board of Charities. This culminated in the establishing of a permanent conference supported by some ninety organizations, including labor groups, charitable and social organizations and civic and fraternal bodies. A summary of action in the twenty- five state legislatures where oldage pension bills have been introduced is printed in the bulletin. The age requirement ranges from sixty to seventy years; the amount of pension from $20 to $50 a month; while the funds are to be raised in some cases by the states, in some by the counties, and in some by the counties and states together. CLEOPATRA NEEDLES ^IPDELY SEPARATED One Obelisk in London, Other in New York. Scientist Predicts Another Glacial Age Copenhagen.--The severity of the winter through which Europe has passed has led scientists to wonder If another Ice age will visit the earth. One scientist thinks it will--but not for another 20,000 or 25,000 years. There is indeed no reason to believe that the eurth will not pass through another glacial age. says Dr. Vav Nordmann, the eminent Danish geologist. He points out that our sphere has already passed through three glacial periods and experienced two interglacial periods, while it is possible that the Ice ages have really numbered four and the milder interludes three. "We know that the climate of these Interglacial periods has been warmer and better than the climate we have been enjoying during our time," Doctor Nordmann told the Associated Press, "and there is absolutely no reason why we should not have another glacial era. "It may not be as severe as the very first glacial period, which penetrated farther south than the succeeding ones, but my opinion is that the earth has still to pass through one or more glacial periods. "I think that In another 20,000 or 25,000 years >we shall taste the experience of another ice-bound age." Washington.--About 3,500 years ago Thothmes HI, king of Egypt, reared himself a tail obelisk at the temple of Heliopolis, six miles from present-day Cairo. Americans Interested in deciphering the cuneiform script covering the obelisk need not travel to Egypt for that purpose. Thothmes, royal monument, for almost 40 years, has raised its head in Central park. New York city. From the Thames embankment in London a companion obelisk also looks on another world than that of ancient Egypt. It is the second obelisk of the pair erected in Heliopolis to commemorate the glory of the god, Amen-Ka. "The title of Cleopatra's Needle is claimed for both the New York and London obelisks," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "During the lifetime of Cleopatra the two obelisks were moved from Heliopolis to Alexandria. It is affirmed that this removal was by Cleopatra's decree, but that the troublous times during the latter years of her reign prevented their being raised. Mounted by A. Caesar. 1 "While tliej were lying on the Alexandrian sands the name Cleopatra's Needles was said to havg been given them. "* History does hot record valid evidences of Cleopatra's interest in needles of stone or other material. It was during the reign of Augustus Caesar that the obelisks were finally mounted. "The New York obelisk, more than 67 feet high, was presented to the United States by the Egyptian government. Its removal to New York presented a novel problem because of its excessive weight. The obelisk was lowered to a wooden caisson, in which it was floated to the dock and 1 was placed in the steamship which carried it to America by opening a port In her bow. On its arrival it was transported by rail to Central park, where towers and trunnions were used In raising it. The London obelisk was removed from Egypt In 1880. It had1 been presented to King George IV by Mohammed All in 1819, but no effort was made to remove it for many years. Finally it was incased in a steel cylinder and shipped to England in the obelisk ship Cleopatra. Europe Has Other Obelisks. "Although Egypt is the home of the obelisk, there are today more of these monuments outside Egypt than in it The practice of denuding Egypt of ln>r obelisks began during the Sixth century, B. C., when Ashurbanipal. the Assyrian, removed a pair to Nineveh. At present Egypt has four at Karnak and also the Mataria and Luxor obelisks. Rome has 12 of various sizes, Constantinople has two and England. America and France each have one. The largest of these Is in the piazza of St. John Lateran at Rome. The material used in the obelisks is a pink granite from the quarries of Aswan, anciently Syene. "Obelisks have always exercised a fascination for "the student of Egyptology. Archeologists have yet to discover how the ancient Egyptians, ig: norant of modern methods of transport, moved these huge blocks of granite hundreds of miles and then set them up in ,the midst of existUm buildings." . v MP. and Mrs. John Westlake cago were shaking hands with old friends here Tuesday.

Rooster's Spur Grows' on Hen; Comb Shrivels Pittsburgh, Pa.--A rooster's spur, transplanted young to a hen, grows to a full-sized male spur, but | his comb when transferred does not crow so gorgeously large upon the hen. These experiments oo transplanting parts of day-old chicks are reported by Profc A. W. Koselka of the department of zoology of the University of Pittsburgh, In a paper to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Contrary to general belief, says Professor Koxelka. there appears to be a genetic difference between the spurs of the male and the female.
