PRINCESS SAYS ONE BABE
 IS WORTH MILLION VOTES

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S - "I would rather have one baby for my very cwn than 10000 votes-yes, 1O,OOO,- 900 votes.
 With this declaration. Princess Ghika, wife of Prince Nicola Ghika, of Roumania, settled once and for all her attitude toward woman suf- frage.
 "Woman's suffrage is not a very perplexing problem in Roumania as yet" the princess said. Perhaps it will become so when We are a little more civilized. It might furnish dis cussion for the single women, but we married women have all we can do to look after our husbands. our children and our homes, and I have three little ones at home, and l have quite enough to do in seeing that they are properly trained, without bothering about votes for women."
 The princess Zoe, however, de clared that she had heard suffrage discussed in all its moods and lenses on lots of occasions, and that she thinks it will become universal in time She said that had women a chance to vote in her country she believes they would vote wisely.
 For men?" hazarded the report CT.
 Yes, husbands" came the quick retort.
 But the youthful princess coin cided with the views of her aunt. concluding with the remark that af ter all home was the proper place for women.
 There they should reign su- preme," she added

Prince Kidnaps and Reveals
 a Royal Closet Skeleton

PARIS, Nov 27. - It was only cinematograph rehearsal. The young woman who took part in it is one of the cleverest actresses in Paris.
 Such was the frOthy but plausible explanation the police gave of the kidnapping of a young girl before the very eyes of a crowd in the cen ter of a fashionable section of Paris few days ago. The explanation was only a diplomatic fable to hide skeleton in the closet of the prince ly house of Monaco.
 The fact is that Prince Louis, son of Prince Albert, the reigning prince of Monaco, stole his daughter, 15 years old Only her father knows where she is now
 The police have not even search ed for her They can take no action. because of the law, Prince Louis, having recognized the girl as his daughter. can take her away from anyone else.
 Prince Louis step-mother was an American. Prince Albert married for his second wife the former Miss Alice Horn, of New Orleans. Their union was unhappy, and they are living apart, the princess making her home in Paris. Her house is not far from the spot where the

S5 JOBLESS ACTORS DINE

NEW YORK, Nov 27. Eighty five high-grade actors, all out of jobs, sat down to a modest hard luck dinner" tonight at the Lambs club and told over their coffee and cigars how they traversed the road from the footlights to the dining tables. Not man drawing a sal ary was permitted at the boards, for the edict had gone forth that all wage-earners in active operation would be barred.
 Plans fer the dinner disclosed the fact that never in the history of the club have so many of its mem- bers been out of employment The eighty-five are only small per cent of those who have failed to find work this season or who have lost their jobs because of bad times. A number have gone out of town where living is cheaper. some have temporarily taken up other work and few are too poor to buy a ticket
 From reliable sources it was learn ed that over 5000 players in this country are out of jobs More than this, there is no relief in sight Of the 5000 about 450 are men and women who received large salaries

 IN ARENA

LONDON. Nov g. Miss Gwen dolyn Murray has been appointed assistant wild beast trainer to the Bgstock menageries, and will begin her duties soon in the jungle at Bir- mingham.
 Several prominent men were invit- cd to view Miss Murray's first en- trance into the arena in company with the forest lions.
 There seemed to be a thrill of expectancy even among the furry in habitants of the many cages which encircle the spacious theater of the Shepherds Bush jungle. But for the score fl guests the many benches were void of spectators. and the usual extra performance in the heav- fly barred circular stage seemed to evoke mixed surprise and disapproy- al from the jungle occupants.
 Araminta. Bostock's favolite tig- ress. reared necessarily. and spit fierCely at the keeper who tried to persuade her into silence with a tit bit of goats sweetbread.
 Lions in cages on one side of the theater also roared defiance to beafs on the other side, while the shrill and irritating laughter of the hy- enas made for pandemCnium.
 Meanwhile men were Sprinkling fresh sawdust Then with a roar and a bound there entered two lions. followed by two male trainers arm d with pronged slaves The ami mals were ordered to mount stools placed about ten feet apart in the center Cf the arena
 There was some little difficulty ill inducing them to obey. One lion in particular appeared to be especially disgusted al being called upon to perform prior to his accustomed hour, and made several vicious at tempts with his huge paws at the trainers.
 Al last both beasts were crouch ing sulkily Cn their pedestals. and the folding door slowly opened. and a young girl with somewhat hesitat- ing footsteps walked towards the lions
 Pretty and fragile looking is the courageous English girl who has chosen this apparently hazardous means Of livelihood. She showed her white teeth and smiled at the lions, and then, with a wave of the trainers whip which she held in one hand. she retired slowly backwards. now showing complete self-pCsses- sion.
 "l never thought l could do it." she said. Tt really was awful, those few minutes of waiting until Cap tain Miller-that's the chief lion trainer. you know-called to me to come in. But new I've tried. l shall soon get used to it, and the beasts will learn to obey and like me"

ANIMAL INSTINCT IN MEN
Dogs and Cats Like to Romp and
 Play Even as Children Do,

There seems to be plenty of evi- dence that the desire to play" is a tue instinct among animals. As in the case with man, this tendency to play is strongest in the young.
 Dogs and cats may be seen to fomp Tn d game of tag as truly as ever children do, chasing one an- other in turn until they weary of the fun
 Dogs wrestle. With their fore paws upon each others shoulders, standing upon their hind legs, they struggle, apparently trying to throw the other. They will play thus until they finally fall in a close embrace. rolling over and over.
 Squirrels are addicted to the pas time called by children squat tag" A squirrel will start over the grass, closely followed by another, until the first "squats" upon it's launches Then the parts are exchanged. the second squirrel becoming it" By and by they will dart for the near est tree, where they will further amuse themselves by playing hide and-seek."
 No small boy ever enjoyed game of ball more than does kit ten. though the kitten, to be sure, invariably plays ''handball," and plays alone. It will amuse itself by the hour gently batting some object with its paw, sending it now here, now there, keeping it continually in motion, and evidently relishing every minute of the play.
 Goldfish have been observed to in. dulge in antics closely resembling play. One such fish, in an aquarium, was resting quietly within a few inches of the surface. when 1t sud- denly elected a fish scale from it's mouth. As the scale was slowly sinking. the fish darted downward, drew the scale into its mouth and rose to the surface, where 1t re- mained motionless for several mo- ments This performance was re- peated several times. Whatever may have been the exact motive that prompted these actions, it may fair ly be concluded that the object of the fish was recreation.
