windows to see what all the noise
was about, and they saw so bright,
happy Press newsies marching
down Riverside, making the air

happy, for they were on their way
as guests of The Press and Man

shows they have seen this year.
There was all kinds of dope at the

Dinkelspiel's
Christmas at
Orpheum
George V. Hobart's Famous
Character to Be the
Headliner.

One of the most pleasing
sketches in vaudeville today, "Dink-
elspiels Christmas" will top the
bill at the Orpheum which opens
with the Sunday matinee. George
V. Hobart made Dindelspiel a char
acter, and Joseph Hart has placed
him on the stage. The sketch was
first played at the Lambs Gambol
in New York and is given exactly
as it was at that time, when it
scored tremendously. The charac-
ters are all we'll drawn and fun is
found in every line.
A musical trio of the first water
will be found in Waterbury Broth
ers and Tenney, who are Orpheum
favorites, although they have been
off the circuit for several years,
playing with Harris & Cohan's
Honey Boy Minstrels in the mean
time.
The Piano Store" will be the
musical offering of Harry Linton
and Antie Laurence, team when
is one of the strongest and best
liked in vaudeville. Linton has an
excellent voice and a magnetic per
sonality, while Miss Laurence pos
sesses a winsome manner which
never fails to catch her audience.
Joseph Callahan. prominent in
| the legitimate field of drama, has
| returned to vaudeville with his imi
tations of great men of the past and
present.
| Dave Lane and Charles O'Donnel
will offer a tumbling act which is
somewhat out of the ordinary in
that they work at mile minute
clip. They have dubbed their act

gests at least line of comedy.

OH, SEE THE

Space has just been assigned by
the Spokane Interstate fair manage
ment for that most unique of all
trained animal exhibitions, Prof.
Wilhelm Fricke's Original Imperial
Flea Circus" Can you beat it? Pro-
lessor Fricke certain ly has exer-
cised his ingenuity to the giddy
limit in his congress of genuine
European human fleas," with which
he will undertake to demonstrate to
fair patrons October 8 to 9 next
that Bobby Burns was fully iusti-
fled in immOrtalizing mans closest
companion with his familiar "Ode
to Flea" But when Burns saw a
flea fussing with feminine finery at
divine worship he never stopped to
reflect what really great intelli-
gence was boxed up In the narrow
compass Of it's (the flea's, frame.
Mind you. these Fricke fleas are
human fleas-no mere associates of
the lower animals. Fricke believes
In the association of ideas. He
tliinks-and he's come mighty nigh
to- demonstrating it to be fact
that the liberties which flea con-
stantly takes with mans person
have had but one result-the effect
of imparting to its tiny brain some
of the rays of intelligence con-
stantly radiating from man in
thought vibrations. So Professor
Fricke has concluded that the HUI
man flea is possessed of almost II
not quite human intelligence.
You'll think so. too, when you see
these diminutive creatures go
through their PAGES in their grand

If there is one thing more than
another that Europe prides and

brags about to prove her undoubted
superiority to America in land, blood
and brain, that thing is surely wine.
Every European regards his vine and
its wine tree as sure sign from
heaven that Europe is the worlds

America is a harsh land and inhos-
pitable, where the grape can never,
never mellow into the true bliss of a
perfect wine. American grape vines
are the salvation of the wine indus

them Morgan or Rothschild or King

wealth could not take one sip of cham

portion not reserved for posts and sleepers, for
this extract. In Paraguay and areas in the Chacc
remote from good roads, so that the cost Of sup.
plying timber is excessive, every particle Of the
wood is turned into extract, because the demand
is usually in advance of the supply and 1t is there
fore more profitable to manufacture the
concentrated article, which can be easier and more
economically carried to market.
One feature of quebracho, in which it is su.
perior to other of supply is that the bark
the sapwood and the whole of the central part
of the tree produce the extract In considerable
quantities The bark contains to 8 per cent. OF
tannin, the sap to per cent, and the heart 20
to rs per cent. AS the heart represents twothirds
and often three-fourths of the total quantity OF
wood, the amount of tannin In the Quebracho colo
RADIO is seen to be considerable, 1t is merely
chemical question whether this tanning material
is equal Inferior to that from the oak but later
methods of preparation point to full justification
of the claim that the leather from quebracho ex
tract grades up to that resulting from any other
tanning substance So serviceable is 1t, however
that since its discovery, the tanning industry OF
the Argentine Republic has made noticeable ad
vance, because, with both hides and extract
great natural products of the country, the govern
ment is making every effort to foster the leather
industry within It's own border.
"Quebracho extract" as it is called in the trade
is easily manufactured when the machinery is
once Installed All the wood is passed through
a machine that cuts 1t into shavings the small
est possible chips. 1t is then collected into i'm
mense kettles in which 1t is treated by chemical
processes until all the tannin is removed; after
this the fluid preparation is reduced by evapora-
ton to a thick, jely-like mass, which is poured
into Sacks where It is finally dried into the sub
stance sold In commerce.
The difficulty of gathering the raw material far
outweighs the preparation of the finished article,
especially as the extract is longer to be con-
sidered a by-product, but is coming to have more
importance and value than posts and sleepers. In
Paraguay particularly where all the wood is util-
ICED for extract the hardest part Of the business
lies In gathering wood for the factory. The trees
are cut in the heart of the virgin forest and
hauled by teams to the nearest clearing. Only
native Indians have proven themselves suitable
for the work. as they are thoroughly Rcclimated,
understand the wilderness, and can Withstand the
plague OF insects which make life at night mis-
cradle for the foreigner; and exposure for nights
as we'll as days is unavoidable, because the cut
ting stations are usually remote from any settle.

Increase has been rapid--from 400 tons in the first
