This has been learned by Ernest G. Holt, naturalist, who is heading a National Geographic society-Carnegie museum expedition tn Venezuela primarily to study bird life. "Although Venezuela Is in the tropics," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters ot the National Geographic society, "its varying elevations afford a range of climates from that of the hot, semidesert regions slightly above sea level to the cool, moist areas near the mountain tops. Well up the mountain slopes are conditions'comparable to those in the eastern United States. It is there that one would expect to find the thousands ot birds that fey to Venezuela annually from North America. Instead, they are found lower down in the hotter, sunnier regions. - Find Many Varieties. "Among the North American birds which? Mr. Holt vhas found sojourning In Venezuela are redstarts, blackpoll, cerulean, golden-winged, and black-and-white warblers; summer tanagers, and even a few rose-breasted grosbeaks. They particularly like the coffee plantations, where the relatively low cohee trees are shaded by banana plants and higher forest trees. In this environment the North American visitors and theii native cousins are kept busy eating the innumerable Insects. "Wttfen, In search of birds, snakes and other specimens, Mr. Holt and his party had moved over the crest of the coast range, ti.ey found themselves, in a grassland country that has been made a little patch of Germany. German colonists settled la this region in 184U and have been little affected by the Latin culture around them. Their architecture has been only slightly modified from that of the old fatherland, and only a few of the colonists have planted patches of coffee. Most of the farms are devoted to raising wheat, rye and peas, pigs and cattle. The women, kerchiefs tied about their heads, do the greater part of the field work. While most of the men have learned Spanish, practically all 01 the women speak only German. Larks, Mocking Birds. MIn this unforested region meadow larfc^ and mocking birds dominate the feaihered life. These, however, are South American birds, not visitors from the states. "Mr. Holt and his coworkers are making a careful study of the bird, reptilian and mammalian life of the various zones of Venezuela, and have collected thousands of specimens, i These will be brought to the United States for use in research and museum material."

House Wreckers Dig Up Tomahawk on Old Farm Fort Ann, N. I.--While tearing down a part of the James Goodman homestead on the George Wray farm, two miles from this village, workmen unearthed a stone tomahawk which historians believe was used by the Indians before the Revolutionary war. The weapon was only a few Inches below the surface and was discovered as the ground was being leveled. The Goodman house is one of the largest farmhouses in this part of the state. It was constructed by Colonel Wray shortly after he arrived at Fort Ann, about 1777. and acquired a large tract of land.

That instance, according to f^jeral forecasters, is the only time that the mercury has dropped to 82 degrees in September in tke last fifty-nine years. The average period of the year when freezing temperatures arrive in the Chicago area is from October 16 to 20, say the weather prognosticates. The mechanical first aid de-, partment of the motor club, however, recommends that car owners protect the cooling system of their cars previous to that period. are Furniture of^ Charm TRIPLE AIL YIELDS QUICKLY TO NEW KONJOLA Pays Grateful Tribute to Most Talked -of Medicine in America- All Else Failed Model 92 and like Mbca pitta (cmr tunc frequency.
