1.-THE LEoPARD's SPOTS"
Play Of Thomas II. Dixon Presented
at Colonial by Capable Company.

"The Leopard's Spots" by Thomas
II. Dixon. in dramatized version, was
the offering at the Colonial Theatre
last night A fair sized audience
greeted its presentation. The play is
strong, from the dramatists viewpoint,
and the company presenting "The
Leopard's Spots" was capable one.
However, Mr.. Dixon's plays leave the
audience with a harried feeling and
an unpleasant taste that has a way
of recalling itself and intruding when

PRIZES ARE OFFERED
 FOR HUMANE TRAPS

A movement for the invention of traps which will kill wild animals in stantly and humanely is fndorsed in the bulletin just issued by the Amer ican Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals The article in the bulletin suggests the starting of a fund to provide a reward to the in- Iarize the adoption Of similar traps in the trapping ind ustry.
 ssAt the present time trapping is one. of the cruelest occupations in which mankind is engaged" says the ar tic1e. .tAfter the poor animals are snared they 1anglish for hours. and sometimes for days, before the hunt particularly cold or stormy nights the trappers are huddled around their warm fires. while the poor trapped creatures must suffer for long hours without hope of rescue. When the trappers come along there ensues a. carnival of cruelty. Some of the smaller animals are beaten to death with stones or clubs. while the larger and fercer ones are put to death with guns.
 It is said that in the Winter many trappers Tail to visit their traps reg ular1y, and when they get to them in the Spring they find them filled with skeletons. Trapping is a valuable as- set to many dwellers in the country districts, and the ntroducrion of hu-l nnane traps would help rather than hinder the business Most of our fur bearing animals have no legal protec- ton, and are becoming scarcer every year A crusade for humane trap ping will not be in any sense Of the word an effort to abolish the fur collecting business
