Coed Throws Her Own Effigy on Pyre

CT. LOUIS.-Passengers on Market
- street car passing the western end
of Forest Park saw a girl trudging
along the tracks with what appeared
to be the lifeless body OF another girl
on her shoulder.
The body was clad In blue suit and
a pair Of brown-stockinged legs dan
gled Imply The motorman slowed up
the car. One glance at the head OF
the object and he threw on the power
again.
With an indignant look the girl with
her burden marched on her way. She
was Miss Annie Brown, president of
the junior class OF Forest Park uni
yersity. who was carrying her efigy to
a grocery store half mile away to
burn Il. BY burning her own effigy
Miss Brown established a precedent.
- the climax in the class light
which had been on between the junior
and senior classes for three days, the
seniors had distracted a dress Of Miss
Brown. stuffed 1t with paper and rags
and hung the effigy on the high oak
In the front yard OF the university
The effigy was discovered early in
the morning by Miss Gertrude Schnei-
der. yice-president Of the juniors. Aft
er heroic efforts she managed to cut
II down. The question was what to do
With II before the entire school saw it.

"Yet there is no luck in successful

croscopic organisms, which are really
wild yeast plants. These little micro
organisms are on the outside of al
ripening fruits. The warmer tht

these are. When the fruit is crushed

all organisms and then sealing
the fruit SO tightly that no more can

NEW YORK.-There was silent
~ commotion of an extraordinary
character before Magistrate Krotel in

Henry ]. Hecker, a deaf-mute pressman

second street, appeared as complain
ant against Miss Nora Sullivan, young
woman of twenty, also deaf-mute, of
$50 Water street. Hecker charged
that Miss Sullivan grossly insulted
him on the street last Saturday after
noon, flinging broadside Of SANDER
GUS epithets at him from the tips of
her fingers and then banging him on
the head with an umbrella.
The young woman, who is short
and plump and highstrung, appeared
In court in answer to a summons OBJ
tanned by Hecker. She was accom-
panied by dozen friends, all deaf
mutes. Hecker had about the same
number of friends with him and the
two factions made the air jump with
the hot remarks they tossed at each
other in the sign manual.
There was no deaf-mute interpreter
in court when the case was called and
Magistrate Krotel was at loss to
understand the multitude Of high signs
that were snapped at him. Hecker
yainly talked himself into q state of
manual palsy, and court attendants
were sent scurrying everywhere for

Girls to Enforce Hat Pin Ordinance

And since the decision has been
made, the next step is to get the girls.
The chief says he has received letters
from many volunteers. From these he
will choose the beauties" and they
will be placed in charge of Mrs. Mary
Owens. Chicago's only police woman.
Then when the woman with the hat
pins strolls by, fashionably dressed
girl, wearing a tiny star where she
formerly wore the pin Of her sorority,
will touch her on the shoulder and
suggest that, "The captain wants
you"
And herein lies just one fear that
may wreck the proposed beauty squad
before its organization.
What If the woman shouts: what
for?" and the beauty policeman says:
Your hat pins are too long; they
stick out too far; you are under ar
rest;" will the arrested one cry Leave
me alone or I'll scratch your eyes
out?'
VIII this be followed by a real hair
pulling contest? And will the original
gentleman policeman have to cry
break" stop the argument, and take
both fighters for ride in the blue
wagon?
These are questions experience alone
can solve. And Chief McWeeny says
he will take a chance on the battles
just to try out his plan.

Man Dies After Fifty Years Silence

n IGBY, NOVA SCOTIA.-Within a
Flew hundred yards of beach where
81 years ago two fishermen found him
with his legs amputated, "Gerome," /"
Nova Scotia's man of mystery, died a
few days ago, silent to the end about
his identity.
Although he undoubtedly possessed
the power of speech, "Gerome" had not
conversed with anyone in the half GEN.
tury he had been cared for by Didier
Comeau and the latter's sons and
daughters. During all Of this time
"Gerome" had remained a mystery to
the settlers here, most of whom are
known as returned Arcadians," being
the descendants of the compatriots Of
Eyangeline who returned to this part
of their adopted country after their ex-
pulsion by the English in 1855.
Away back in the summer of 1861,
according to tradition, ship different
from those usually seen here put off
small boat which made for the shore
and deposited above the tide line an
object that several hours later was
discovered to be man. His legs had
been freshly amputated and there was
jug of water and package of ships
biscuit beside the man, who had suf-
fered greatly from exposure.
Wrapped In blankets and taken to
the Comeau house, where, ever since
he has been welcome member of the

household, the man was finally revived
by physician. In half dozen Ian
guages the man was asked:
what is your name?" To this ques-
ton, in Italian, propounded by the
elder Comeau, the man made muttered
reply: "Gerome!" Never after that,
however, did "Gerome" utter word
except on one occasion when asked
where he came from Trieste was
the reply made, seemingly ID an I'M
guarded moment.
Physicians from all parts OF the
world, who have visited this Land of
Evangeline in the 81 summers that
have elapsed since "Gerome' was
found on the beach, have studied the
mans case Most of them have agreed
that he might have spoken had he de-
cided to do SO; one or two have vouch-
safed the opinion that some terrible
experience through which "Gerome
passed frightened him out of his
senses and rendered him unable to ut
ter an Ineligible word.

the first, why not the second?
So reasons John McWeeny, chief Of
police. And since 1t sounded good to
the head of Chicago's police depart
ment thereupon outlined his plans for
a regular beauty squad.
Hat pins caused his cogitations and
the same pointed reasons. coupled
with an old ordinance that never has
done duty, will inspire the 20 girls he
hopes to enlist In the service.

planned the chief. "And men are any

corner and a pink checked girl stroll
ed by with the points of her hat pins
sticking out foot. would you arrest
her?
mo, you'd probably wink your eye

FARM AN0 .a.li' ORCHARD
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
of Oregon Washington Specially Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions

bearing on farming-and it will often
stir up rivalry among the farmers,
one being unwilling that his neigh
bors' old white cows should test higher
than the heifer he raised himself.
Thus such an application of the Bab-
cock test may not only interest the
boys and keep them in school longer,
but may benefit the whole community.
Nearly all of our farm dairies of
any size keep milk or cream separa-
tor, and the cream is, for the most
part, sold to the creameries and
cheese factories. The injustice Of
paying all farmers alike for the same
weight of milk or cream, is evident
when one remembers that 100 pounds
of cream testing 20 per cent means
but 20 pounds of fat, while 100
pounds testing AS per cent means 45
pounds of fat. Holstein milk is gen.
orally about 8.4 per cent butter fat,
and Jersey 5.5 per cent"
Prof. Kent then explained the prin-
ciples of the cream separator, and
showed how it saved the washing of
the large number of pans necessary
where the cream is allowed to rise and
skinned, and how the amount of
cream taken from the milk may be
regulated accurately by the turn of a
screw. He showed how milk testing
5.5 fat content can be separated from
a part of the cream and still be better
milk than that testing 3.5 per cent
which is allowed to keep all it's cream,
since milk of higher test also con.
tains more of the other solids besides
| fat.
"The question of how many cows
one should have 10 make it advisable
to keep separator is mooted one
1t is safe to say that if or more
cows are kept, or even particularly
good ones, it is desirable to have 6
separator. 1t will save least So, 81
or So year on butter fat. That
much could be taken from the milk
otherwise fed to the pigs"
