SKUNK A DAINTY DISH.
Meat Is Said to Be Better Than
Possum or Bear Steaks.

Don't believe the pelt of the skunk
is the only part of him that is worth
while. If Philadelphia cooks only knew
how to prepare it, skunk meat would
be as popular with men who love
gamy foods like 'possum, roast coon
| and bear steaks as the pelts arc with
the women folks. Seems as If all wo-
| mankind was wearing his pelt and
nobody eating his carcass. 1t Isn't fair
to the skunk"
Thus spoke the epicure and gourmet
of noted hunting and fishing clubs,
| resting and watching the parade OF
shoppers and motorists. Skunk skin
muffs. capes and collars, skunk fur on
hats and gowns glistened in the mid
afternoon sunlight.
Sight of them actually makes me
long for good bit Of baked skunk
as change from the everlasting roast
beef here at the club" muttered he
to his rather astonished companions.
Good to eat? Here's a yarn will
| prove 1t Is: Thanksgiving week
Went up to Hartford County, Connecti-
cut, to join in an annual point-to point
hunting contest between two clubs,
losers to pay the expense of 4 dinner
to be made from the game killed We
| both had fair bags, including a half
| dozen skunks. The farmers knew how
to dress them without getting any of
the offensive scent on the carcass.
"A bunch of Hartford fellows came
out to help eat the dinner. Baked
skunk was the principal dish of din
ner in which partridge, quail, squirrel
and rabbit figured. Walters limited
that the roast was 'possum. Served
with baked Irish potatoes, fried sweets,
currant jelly, celery and champagne
| frappe, 1t was announced treat
Principal point Of dispute was whether
It tasted most like chicken, duck,
goose or rabbit. The hunters all knew
what it was and frankly ate it and
liked it as skunk. The Hartford fellows
never suspected until Bristol man
told the story at the Hartford Club in
the presence of two who were at the
dinner. They were inclined to be a
little huffy at first but finally admit
ted they had enjoyed 1t and would not
be averse to trying it again.
Up in the northern counties Of this
state I've eaten skunk at the country
| hotels served to guests as rabbit pot
pie, and the guests liked It and called
for more. Half the farmers up there
eat IL about once a week during the
winter, when they are trapping skunks,
generally as a pot-pie. as it does not
go so well broiled or fried. If one can
| disassociate the idea of the odor of
| the animal from the meat ITSELF he
| can thoroughly enjoy baked skunk or
skunk pot-pie. It's a deal like eating
cells; they're fine when you stop think
ing of them as snakes. New York

Juvenile Masked Ball.

A Masquerade ball was given at the
final meeting of the childrens class
of Mrs. Odiorne's dancing school at
Elk's hall. A large number of the
mothers and friends attended and were
greeted with pleasant surprise OF fan
cy dancing which included the tango,
one-step, plain waltzes, two-steps and
schottises and some very pretty cos
tunes. There were charming shepherd
girls, dashing cowboys and dazzling
spanish dancers in striking costumes
of many colors. These who attended
had a delifhtful afternoon and left
impressed with the progress made by
the class of this year.

Taft Urges Against
Mob Violence mus.

New York, Jan. 22.-Former President
Taft in an address before the Peace So
ciety urged the enactment by Congress
of a law which would give the federal
courts Jurisdiction to prevent and punish
crimes of mob violence against aliens IN
the United States.
Mr.. Taft read the draft of bill which
he favored, proposing that ANY action
committed in any state or territory OF
the United States in violation of the
rights of a citizen or subject of any for
eign country, or against the peace and
dignity of the United States, may be pros
ecuted in the courts Of the United
States"
In defining his position Mr. Taft said
that the list of outrages against aliens
by mob violence extended from 1911 to
1910, and that the failure of state au-
thorities to punish offenders was no rec
ord to be proud of. In all such cases.
he said, the local authorities had evil
IDENTIFY sympathized with mob spirit and
purpose
In the opinion of Mr.. Taft the enact
ment of such law would minimize the
possibility and danger of friction with
foreign governments, thus eliminating
one of the causes which might embroil
the United States in war

MT. RAINIER 14,4o8 FEET.
Exact Elevation of Washington's Fa'
nous Mountain Determined by En-.
gineers.

The height Of the summit of Mount
Rainier, Washington, has been deter
mined by the United States Geological
Survey to be ID, ,i0s feet above mean
sea level. This elevation now officially
displaces the former supposed height
of the mountain of 14,363 feet and ac-
cords to Mount Rainiersthe distinction
of being the second highest mountain
peak in the United States, Mount
Whitney, California, being the high
est. The correct height of Rainier was
determined by a party Of topographic
engineers of the Survey in connection
with the mapping Of the Mount Rain
Ter National Park, which was COM
pleted last summer. The topographic
survey of the park was begun in 1910
by F. e. Matthes, continued in 1911
by Mr.. Matthes and George r. Davis,
and finished in 1918 by c. H. Birdseye.
W.-O. Tufts, O. G. Taylor, and s. E.
Taylor.
In the mapping of the summit OF the
mountain a terrific blizzard was en-
countered; in fact, two ascents Of the
upper portion of the mountain were
necessary. The first ascent of the up
A. M, August 16, and dawn broke with
every indication Of developing into a.
beautiful day. On reaching the sum-
NIT the men encountered terrific
gale, clouds enveloped the mountain,
preventing observations, and by noon
snow began to fall. A descent was
attempted. but the party became hope
lessly lost in labyrinth Of crevasses,
| the storm developing into blizzard.
| To. descend further was impossible; to
remain was suicide. Consequently a
return to the crater was ordered, and
| the men reached it after two hours
climb, utterly exhausted and nearly
frozen. Here they sought shelter in
one Of the steam caves. where, during
the long night they were thoroughly
steamed and half frozen in turn.
strenuous measures were employed by
the men to keep from falling asleep
and freezing to death. AS it was, their
| fingers and ears were badly frozen.
Finally, with a rizing barometer. they
succeeded in descending 5000 feet to
! a temporary camp. making the de-
scent in three hours. Here they re-
cuperated and prepared for another
lascent. which was accomplished on
August 20, the start being made at l
o'clock in the morning. Good weather
| was encountered and the mapping OF
the entire summit was finished by 1
o'clock.
! "If anyone thinks that American
| glaciers are play glaciers, or that the
| weather which may be encountered at
the summit Of Mount Rainier In Au-
gust is uniformly balmy and spring
like" said Mr.. Birdseye. whose fingers
| and ears were badly frosted, "let him
climb Mount Rainier during one of its
summer blizzards. The steam caves
in the crater are not the pleasantest
places imaginable to spend the night

VISITING Afghanistan.

1t is not possible for any citizen or
subject OF any foreign nation to enter
Afghanistan without a special permit
or firman, from the amir, who Is the
absolute ruler of the country. More
over, no Europeans or Americans are
permitted to cross the Afghan frontier
from British India or Baluchistan
without obtaining the permission of
the British government. The neees-
sity of obtaining this permit is based
primarily on that governments wish
to avoid political difficulties with
Afghanistan which might arise from
the insecurities OF travel, or with other
countries whose citizens might meet
with personal danger by entering the
country without sufficient special pro-
lection.
If any persons, writes Consul Henry
d. Baker, on special commercial ser
vice in India, particularly wishes to
visit Afghanistan, he can get into the
country only by interesting the amir
personally in the object OF his visit,
which it may be found very difficult to
do. No commercial traveller can get
into Afghanistan unless the amir
might be induced to take an interest
in his particular line Of business. Even
then it would not be found convenient
or advantageous to undertake a trip
unless the amir would personally
guarantee ones comfort and safety
and provide military escort to Kabul
or Kandahar or wherever else 1t was
desired to go. In fact, unless the
Afghanistan government itself as
sumed all expenses of such a trip and
gave a guaranty as to a certain
amount of profitable business, it would
probably never pay for any American
business or manufacturing firm to
send a representative, into the coun-
try, as the expense Of travel and OF
transport Of personal supplies would
be so great as to offset any profits
which might be expected.
After application has been made to
the amir for a permit, or firman, to
visit Afghanistan-and by having ad-
vanced some particularly potent argu-
ment the firman may perhaps be
granted--the deputy secretary to the
government of India in the foreign de-
partment, II he deems it wise, will then
grant permission to cross the frontier
at the travellers own risk.-Indianap-

WOMEN OF FORD co.
ARE ECONOMIC FACTORS

Detroit, Jan. 22.-The women in the
employ of the Ford Motor Co. found
they were economic factors after
all, in spite of what Mr.. Ford said
when he announced that they would
not share in the $10000,o0o melon he
intended to cut for those who make
his cars. They received their first pay
Wednesday under the new order OF
things. Many of them found that their
rate of wages had been doubled, while
the others had received increases that
almost doubled their former remunera-
ton.
There are nearly 700 women en-
ployes. About one-third of them work
in the offices.
Officers OF the company are very
reticent about telling how the new
scale of wages for female labor was
worked out 1t is believed that there
is a minimum wage scale, but even
that much information Is withheld
from the public.
Some of the girls revealed the size
of their draw today. 1t was at the
rate of SO a day from the date on
which the new plan went into opera
ton. This leads to an estimate tna'
the minimum pay for women and girls
now is about the same as that lot
merly fixed for the men. s2S4 per oaS'
1t may be an even s2.5o.
There is some speculation as 10
whether the Ford Co. will be swamp
ed with applications from other women
and girls. -,
The office force of the company will
have to be doubled within a snort
time. for the new office building, which
;s a duplicate of the present one, Is
nearing completion. 1t is made neces-
sarv by the doubling of the plant SO
that it is probable the NUMBER Oh
women employees will be almost
doubled.
