SAVAGE LABRADOR DOGS.

their deserts These dogs, led by a bulky ami

their bright eyes. Fiction has said how the
moment a husky vanquished in fight loses it's
legs its team mates fall upon and tear IL to
pieces, but fiction has not added that a child, or
even in some instances an adult, must also keep
his feet To secure safety from q similar fate. A

RACE GOING UNDER
Blends 60 Msdlsai Men Say
VIII Eventually Give Way 70
the Darksr Race,

That delicate beauty OF light hair
creamy complexion and deep blue eyes
is doomed, according to DR.. Charles e,
Woodruff, surgeon and major in the
United States Army.
The blond has been waglng battla
for ex;stence with the sunshine, and in
the opinion OF nr. Woodruff, it has been
loosing one.
Following right ON the footsteps OF
the discovery by Dir. Wood comes cons
nrmation from J c. Cumming, secretary
Of big life insurance company, who
says that slatisties show that brunettes
oatliye blonds. Mr., Cumming was
careful to make clear that he did not
include in his calculations the artif-
eially made blond, the kind who puF-
ahases hsr beauty in the form Of bleach
irg acids. lie me ant only the real thing
kind who get it direct from nature.
Mr.. Cummins demonstrated that tn :
mortality was much higher among tl.s
!'made TO order" onea and that blonds
were more subject to lung trouble than
brunettes. He even suggested timp
might porae when an inaurauce Company
would take this fact into account in AZ
ing rates.
DIR. Woodruff has gone into the sub-
iect in great detail, soodly part Of his
researches having been made in the
prisons Of the country.
The jails and penal institutions OF
the land, according to Dir. Woodruff are
filled with blonda, male and female who
have fallen by the wsys;de because they
cannot make living In land where
they are by nature unified. 1t is there
fore up to the blonde to find meanB OF
survival or else to lose altogether in the
struggle against the all oonauaring
brunette type.
The trouble rests mainly with the
sunshine, There il too much OF it for
the delicately conatituted system OF
the blonde. The American sAnshine is
fierce and Unsuitable.
There are countries where it il hot,

BLAIR Mill
SECOND IN SIZE
in THE STATE
STAMPS AT PLANT
WILL BE OPERATING BY
FEBRUARY

Work on the grading for the ad-
dition of 20 stamps to the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak company's mill is still
in progress, and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
1t is to be expected that by Febru-
airy the additional stamps will be
dropping on the company's ore.
The mill is already second in ca
pacity in the state of Nevada with
its 100 stamps, and when the other
20 are in operation it means a ca
pacity of $40 tons per day, cinch-
ing second place.
In point of efficiency and economy
of treatment the Pittsburg-Silver
Peak company's mill is surpassed by
no mill in Nevada or in, the west.
It's equipment is magnificent, includ-
ing all the modern labor-saving ma
chinery adapted to it's requirements
that can be secured. The ore bins
have a capacity of 1000 tons.
With the vast bodies of ore now
blocked out a much larger number
of stamps could be maintained in
operation. The watchword here is
"A big tonnage with economy OF
production" and that policy ought
to put the company on a dividend
basis in the near future, paying fol
the very large outlay for mine and

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30.-The
University of Pennsylvania admins
tered a severe defeat to the Carlisle
Indians this afternoon in one of the
most bitterly fought games ever
played on Franklin Field, by score
of 20 to 6.
During the game one of the In
dianS was ordered off the field by
Umpire Edwards, on the grounds
that he had roughly tackled Penn
sylvania man out of bounds. En-
ragged at the umpire's action, the
Indian attacked the official and hit
him a hard blow on the jaw. Left
Tackle Fretz of Pennsylvania then
came to Edwards assistance and his
remarks and actions were such as
to cause the officials to order him
from the game. Finally policeman
was called and both the Indian and
Fretz were escorted behind the
lines.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The fifth
Vanderbilt cup race was won by
Harry Grant, driving go h. p.

chine in the race. The time for the
278.08 miles was 4:25:42, or an
average speed of 62.S miles an hour.
Edward Parker, driving a Fiat, was
second, and William Knipper, with
Chalmers-Detroit, was third
The only other car that finished
was Mercedes, and at least ten
of the entries in the Vanderbilt cup
race withdrew before the finish on
account of various troubles.
AS compared with the previous
Vanderbilt cup races, the contest
this year was reduced to the level
OF an ordinary stock car event, and
was tame and spiritless. The early
part of the race was muddled by
the simultaneous running of two
lesser contests for cars of moderate
power. In the shorter of the two
races the Massapequa sweepstakes,
