for the unwillingness Of the natives
to invest their money being, In his
opinion, their lack of n ready means

is the Cooperative Credit Societies
that have enticed the savings from

view of the working of these socie-

rupees into circulation shows that
the cooperative movement is begin

as "one means of securing the erec-

TELLING AGES OF ANIMALS
Not Vet Possible to Determine Age
at Which Many Sea and Land
Creatures Die.

Some sea creatures and a few land
creatures live so long that 1t has not
yet been possible for man to deter.
mine the age at which 1t is natural
Tor them to die. 1t is stated, for in.
stance, that in 1897, in a European
lake. a pike was caught which could
not have been less than 270 a old.
There was a brass ring in the ish's
lower jaw. and on The ring an inscrip-
ton showing that the ring was placed
there in the year 1230-267 years pre-.
vionsly. Again. if the bone plates in
a whales mouth. which are said to
increase regularly each year, are an
indication of the creatures age, as is
believed, tho@ 400 years is not an I'M
usual lifetime for a whale. Even the
common ring trout lives from 80 to SO
years.
The natives of India believe that
elephants live to be 500 years Did.
One was kept in captivity $50 years.
and the age of the animal at the time
of his capture was not known. Camels
normally die between the ages of 40
and 80, horses from 20 to 80, oxen at
20, sheep at s or 9 and dogs at 10 or
IA. Swans 100 years old and ravens
older have been known, while pleas
ants and ordinary chickens live u or
rs years-proyided they do not find
their way to the frying pan many sea
sons earlier.

CLERKS UNION AFTER
SUNDAY LAW VIOLATION
Especial to THE TIMEs,)

East Chicago, Ind. Aug. 15.-The
Clerks union has started something in
the blue law line in the swearing out
of a warrant for the arrest of George
Rovtovski for keeping his grocery open
on Sunday. The members of the union
feel tina it will hurt their cause If
one grocer persists in keeping his place
of business open on Sunday when all
of the rest of the grocers in town are
closed, and they have dug up a blue
law under which they p to prose
cute the offender.
If the case is won the grocer prom
ises to do something in the blue law
line himself and East Chicago may ex-
pect to be put through a season of clos
ed ice cream p~arlors, street cars at a
standstill and all the rest of the Sab
bath ~observances which usually fol-
low in the wake of the enforcement of
the Sunday closing law against one
man who REBELS against its observance.
The case will be heard before .Georgs

50 DAYS

1t is possible that the American Car
and Foundry company which recently
purchased a FOL acre site from the
United STATS steel Corporation may
begin the preliminary construction of
its Gary plant within thirty days. The
plans for the ten million dollar plant
and the activity of the railways In
ordering steel cars and impending con-
sressfonal legislation calling for the
universal use of steel passenger ears is
said to prompt the company to be
ready to supply the large orders that
will necessarily roll IN.
