SENDS TEETH BACK ~
TO DENTIST BY NEW
PARCELS POST SYSTEM

Portland, Ore, Jan. 13.-If travel
ing and your teeth bother you, take
them out and ship them home by
parcel post to your favorite dentist for
repairs.
This happy idea, to say the least. is
no longer new, as it came to a man
living temporarily in Kansas. who
last summer spent some time with
friends in Portland.
Yesterday his molars, well. in fact.
the whole set of teeth, arrived here
neatly packed in paper box and ad-
dressed to DR.. E. T. Hedlund. Under
separate cover came an explanation
that the teeth required some little at
tention.
OF course the set was an artificial
one, but as the wearer probably pos
sesses only one he could not spare
them long without physical injury
and mental irritation
The teeth left Kansas January 7, in
the evening, after the owner had en-
Joyed his square meal for the day, and
arrived here yesterday morning in
time for breakfast. Repaired with
all possible speed, they started on
their homeward journey before sup
per last night and the dentist believes
they will reach home in time for the
first mail and meal next Tuesday.

SNAKE-LIKE CREATURE
FRIGHTENS BEHOLDERS

Findlay, Ohio, Jan. 13.-The ap-
pearance above this city of what ap-
peared to be huge snake-like crea-
ture with great wings that carried it
along at a fearful velocity. has
thrown the neighborhood into con-
sternation.
AS nearly as it could be described
by Mrs. ID. Pickla, 1913 Foraker ave-
nue., West Park, who had the first
and most distinct view of the mon
ster it resembled nothing so much as
a pterodactyl, supposedly extinct
species of flying lizard, remains of
which have been found in geological
deposits of the Lower Jurassic or
Mesozoic age
Several times it has been seen
lowering above West Park but the
other day 1t swooped down within not
more than SO feet of where Mrs.
Pickla was standing in her yard, then
with a whirring of wings, louder than
the clatter of an aeroplane, it rose
to a considerable height and made
for a wood several miles distant.
The bird has a long neck, an en-
larged snakelike body and, as near
ly as she could make out, four feet.
What seemed to be brilliantly colored
feathers grew from long, thick tail
which the creaturs used as rudder
to guide its flight.
The body and half neck were COW
cred with what appeared small, gray
feathers, while the rest of the neck
was covered with scales like those of
a fish. The head is small and the
beak long affair, slightly hooked
at the end.
The wings spread about six feet
from tip to tip and according to Mrs
Pickla's description are attached to
the body of the ornithosaur in three
or four places. Naturalists have been
unable to state authoritatively that
the rhamphorphynchus, of which or
der the air-going reptiles the pter-
dactyl belongs, earth where they
swarmed cons ago.
Search will be made of the woods
where it Is thought to have resting
place. There are many marshes in
the vicinity where such a creature
might hide.

GARRETT COMMENTS
ON BOISE JUSTICE

That's about all the justice you
can expect to get at Boise"
So spake Jess Garrett, former
Portland hurler, who has just been
given his release by Pendleton as he
gaZed at newspaper account of the
jailing of two Boise newspapermen
by the Idaho supreme court, accord
ing to an exchange
Il had a touch of Boise justice last
fall" added Garrett, who makes his
nome in Portland and who, incident
ally desires to do a comeback stunt
in 1913.
My experience is particularly WV
Id. When 1 produced sworn affidav-
its from three players and two out
siders that Umpire Golden had Of
fered to let Boise beat my Pendleton
team out of second place in the West
ern Tri-state league, they arrested
me, made me fork up $500 in bail
TO keep out of prison. and then ad-
vised me to shut up and the case
would be dropped. OF course 1 shut
up.
Further, Golden was given a two
days vacation by President Sweet of
the league, who resides in Boise, SO
as to line things up with the author
tiles. He umpired the last four or
i've games and We won one game in
that series. l pitched the first game
after he reassumed his umpiring job
and everything l pitched went for
balls. oh! that was a fine mess OF
Justice"
Garrett managed the Pendleton
team but will not be there this sea-
son. Jack Barry and others who bat
ted against him said Jess arm was
as good as ever and the Texan hopes
to land some class B club this wear.

RAGGERS ARE DIPPY
OVER CORKSCREW DIP
Bill Lange Introduces Graceful Dance
at st Francis Ball on New Years
Eve

Bill Lange Introduces Graceful Dance
at st Francis Ball on New Years
Eve.
San Francisco.-Can you do the
corkscrew dip?
If not, you must learn at once, for
it is judged to be the prettiest and
most graceful of all the evolutions of
the rag dance.
1t is the optheosis of the rag. 1t
was discovered, invented and patent
ed by no less an expert on Terpisho-
rean tricks than the great "Bilp
Lange himself
Something new is born every New
Years eve in San Francisco
Tuesday 1913 was born at midnight
and contemporaneous with the birth
of new year was the birth of the
corkscrew dip.
Rags were getting to be monoton-
Gus. The dancers at the St Francis
ball were calling for something new
that wouldn't altogether do away
with the rag itself. And big "Bill'
Lange came to the rescue.
Took Ten Minutes Thought.
After ten minutes cogitation in an
alcove Lange and hihs wife emerged
upon the floor of the st. Francis ball
room with this new variation of the
rag.
All the floor was cleared for the
demonstration. 1t needed but a few
bars of rag music to convince the
dancers that Bill" Lange had main
tanned his reputation as maker of
jollity. The corkscrew dip was a sue
cess. 1t was more than a success. 1t
has become a vogue.
The dance proceeds just like the
ordinary rag until the dip comes.
And with the dip comes the cork
screw.
This is how it was done: The la
dy and gentleman dip together. They
are on the knee, the lady on her
right knee the gentleman on his left.
Without changing the position of the
toes the knees are raised and dip
ped" three times in succession. Then,
still resting on the toes, the lady
changes her position to the left knee
and the gentleman to his right. The
UP III lnlS reverse position is re-
peated three times to the swing of
the music and the dance proceeds as
before.
Proclaimed Best of All.
The st. Francis dancers caught the
idea and went to it with a will. In
few minutes everybody was doing it,
making new and pretty picture that
was acclaimed to be the best of all
variations yet discovered.
Now eVerybody's doing it before
dinner, during dinner and after din
ner.
Once you start it you can't stop.
It's as infectious as the rag, only
more so.
Lange. who is a member of the
Olympic and Family clubs. and as
we'll known and popular as any club
man in town, when asked about the
new dance said:
"Oh, there's nothing particular to
it, It's just pretty dance, that's
all. and everybody likes it. The
dance is certainly graceful and effec-
tive"
