HORSES HOOP LIKE TOE MAI
Grows on Average Third of an Inch
Every Month.

Few persons realize that horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails Of human beings or of ami.
mails having toes. The horn of hoof
grows just as toe nail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in
unshod horses than in those wearing
shoes. And it grows faster. in horses
which are we'll groomed and well fed.
But on the average the horn grows
about a third of an inch month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the
horn to grow down there than at the
heel. For instance, the toe will grow
entirely down in from IL to 13 months,
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months
AS the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects in the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
off, just as with human finger nails,
you can watch the progress OF bruise
from the roof TO the tip.

Remarkable Lake to Be Found in the

to give the stranger a headache on ac-

said perfumer "Grasse makes the
worlds perfumes. You see mountains
of flowers there, as, in milling coun-
try, you see mountains of wheat The
odor is powerful, but as far as head
aches-no!
But in the Caspian district there is
a lake so strongly perfumed that II

from it an odor Of violets is exhaled.

"You see, it is the presence of the
seaweed Polydcystia violacea that
gives the lake its hue and smell
When you bottle the waters the sea

GULF STATES SWEPT
BY TERRIBLE TORNADO
Two Hundred and Twenty Persons Killed
and 400 Injured in Louisiana, Ala
bama and Mississippi.
Most of the Victims Negroes - Whole Towns Demolished
and Property Loss VIII Be Heavy.

In all, nearly twenty towns were struck
by the ''tWister," of which there seems
to have been at least five.
The tornado that first appeared in Con-
cordia parish. Louisiana, appears to have
been the most serious, both in respect
to the number of victims and extent
of territory covered. Although it covered
a rural district and struck no large town.
the known results of its work are sixty
four dead and at least one hundred in
jured, with the prospect that the list will
be considerably swelled by morning.
More than fifty of the dead are ne
groes. After leaving Concordia parish the
storm crossed into Mississippi and ira
versed portions of Adams. jefferson and
Claibourne counties. its path being about
900 feet wide.
What appears to have been two differ
ent toTnadOeS also struck in western Ala
bama- one claiming six victims at Bergen
and Thomas Sswmill. small places, and
another striking Alberville, where thirty
persons are reported to have been killed.
This however. cannot be confirmed. as
all wires are down.
Relief for the sufferers is being dis
patched from all available points.

DEBATE ON BATTlfSH|pS
Senators Piles and Beveridge Plead
With the Senate for Presidents
Naval Program,

Washington, April Assignments in ia
Vor OF the presidents program for four
battleships consumed most of the session
Of the senate today. Senator Piles of
Washington opened the debate, declaring
that the Asiatic situation affecting the
Pacific coast was a menace to that sec
ton, as war clouds might quickly rise
there over some clash between Americans
and the Japanese. He wanted fleet kept
in the Pacific.
Mr.. Hale laid before the senate a state
ment of battleships and other features of
the American naval program which, he
said, showed that as large a fleet as is
now in the Pacific can be kept there and
at the same time there would be ships for
a still larger fleet for the Atlantic.
Senator Beverage concluded the debate
for the day with strong appeal to SEN
ators to vote for four battleships He
was constantly engaged in exchanges of
words with other senators. He Insisted
that peace and not war would be pro-
NOTED by building UP the navy.
During the latter part OF the session. tel
eerams were delivered 20 all senators
four battleships.
IF the four battleships appropriation
be not granted" the telegram stated. I'VE
shall urge the president to veto the naval
bill"
Early In the day Senator Bankhead of
Alabama spoke in favor of national ap-
propria tons for good roads.
The senate passed bill aDpropriating
stoo.09o for survey of an inland water
way from Boston TO Wilmington.
At 500 the senate adjourned.
