The Queerest Salad.
A gourmet as he mixed a salad OF
chicory said: THE worlds queerest
salad. and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the Inoits of northwest
Greenland. 1t is a salad of undigested
moss from the stomach of fresh
killed reindeer, bitter. sharp. slim
ulating salad, as good for the dfges-
| ton as an electrical massage. The
Inoits live almost exclusively on hsh;
hence salads are favorite dish with
them. But no salad in their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. Ihey
saw this salad is crisper. tenderer and
more appetizing than any other, ana
they say it wards off Indigestion. They
fight for it, they spend their last penny
on it, quite as the Indians do with

arrests followed the arrest earlier in
the day of Bruno Genaro, an Italian.
and of Abraham Weis. aged II, who
was pointed out in the street by citi-
zen as one of the gang.
The two men chased by automobiles
were Francesca Spudato, aged 21. and
Sepa Pasquale. aged 90. They could
give no satisfactory statement of their
whereabouts last night.
The arrests were the result of a so
mile beat by the police of the country
side in two automobiles. The prisoners
captured by the automobilists started
to fight, but there were enough Of
ficers to subdue them. When searched
revolvers. razors and knives were found
upon them. 1t is believed that two
more '.yeggs" are still at large. and
the police are beating the woods and
thickets of the Arnold arboretum,
Mount Benedict, the Oak hills district
and the Charles river meadows for
them. The man killed in the fight last
night has not yet been identified.

MAGAZINE POLICY
Western Federation Supports
Attitude Adopted by Editor
in Management of Paper

DENVER, Colo. July 24-The con-
venuon of the western federation of
miners this afternoon indorsed the edi-
torial policy which has been followed
in the management of the Miners Mag
aZine.
This action was taken after spir-
tied debate. during which Editor O'Neill
was severely roasted for supporting
socialism.
The convention amended the consti-
tuition SO as to compel miners to be-
long to the local having jurisdiction
over the mine in which they are work
ing. 1t also refused to appropriate
money for the executive board to use
in sending out political literature
This is looked upon as a defeat of the
socialist element. and is the first serf-
Gus setback that wing of the organ
ization has ever received in western
