AUTO STUNNED ALLIGATOR
And the Honk Wagon Had Party Of
Women Aboard

st. Louis, Mo, April 5.-A party of
women active in st. Louis society re
turned from Florida Monday with
thrilling account of how they killed
an alligator with an automobile after
an exciting chase through a palm
tree grove.
Alligator hunting has become a fad
which promises to grow. Miss Kath.
crime Elkins recently killed one. So
did Sarah Bernhard. But neither
used a touring car as the agent of des
truction That distinction belongs to
Mrs. John ]. OFallon, Mrs. Asa A.
Wallace and Mrs. NJ. B. Morreu.
According to the womens story as
their automobile swung around
curve just out of Tampa they saw a
giant alligator summing himself in the
road less than fifty feet ahead.
The chauffeur put on full speed and
two wheels of the machine passed
over his neck. He lay in the road
stunned, but when the chauffeur eau.
tiously approached he suddenly came
back to life and ran into the woods
Then began long and tortuous chase
among the towering palm trees. At
ter being pursued more than a mile
the alligator rolled over on his back
as though dead.
Carrying a heavy mud chain, the
chauneur again approached. The

Tampa. The motion of the automo-
bile and the refreshing air revived
the alligator. He slipped his head
from the chain and tried to crawl in
to the automobile. The women lost
no time in jumping out.
Again the chauffeur beat the alli-
gator with chain, and this time sub
dued him. The trophy then was
dragged to the hotel.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The navy de-
partment has taken the first step to-
ward the formation of reserve fleets on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts The
battleship Oregon and the cruiser st.
Louis are to be placed in commission and
kept in reserve at the Bremerton naval
station on Puget sound. The cruisers
Pennsylvania, Charleston. Milwaukee and
Galveston win soon be added.
On the Atlantic side no less than ten
war ships w. be commissioned in the
reserve fleet Probably these vessels will
be assembled at the Philadelphia navy
yard.
The purpose of creating these reverses
is to find the necessary number of Of
ficers and blhe-jackets to man the new
battle ships and the large number of
torpedo boat destroyers and submarines
soon to come from the builders hands.
In the. case of the oregon, which in
full commission and active service would
require crew numbering about 700,

Miss Eliza Grace, Valambrosa, Ga.
Can you tell me what is the matter
with my chickens? had one little
biddie to die and I cut it open and
found a little white worm in it about
an inch long. / have three Rhode
island Reds about four months old,
and their combs are very pale. and all
of my chickens go about with their
wings dropped. Please give me rem
edy. MY little s1chickens are dying
with lice on their heads. Give me a
remedy through The Semi Weekly
Journal.
ANSWER:
Your chickens will not thrive as long
as they are infested within insects. All
of those that have feathered should
be dipped in solution of either of
the dips advertised in The JournaD
(either ehloro naptholeum or black
draught), one part to 100 parts of wat
err. This should be done on the mid
die of some warm day. This will en-
tirely rid your chickens of insects
Then the sleeping quarters should be
thoroughly cleaned out. disinfected
and whitewashed
It would be a good idea to put some
turpentine, say ten drops or half a
teaspoonful in the soft feed for Is
or 20 young chicks. Give this every
other day for week or ten days. A
small piece of copperas in their drink
ing water, a piece about the size of a
hickory nut to two gallons of water,
will destroy the worms in the chick
ems.
II think if you will get the insects
\ OF of them and feed only on sound
grain-cracked corn and what. all
they win eat clean three times per
day. you will see a big difference in
your chickens.
