EM'SCAMEL TRACKS,
THAT IS WHAT THEY Arr"
Thus Did Old Circus Man Solve Rid
die of Odd Marks
in Street. -..-

man with weather-beaten face, shoes
that turned up at the toes and down at
the heels, and one of these gaudy plaid
Mackinaw jackets stopped still in the
middle of the street at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue today and gazed at
some queer-1ooking marks on the asphalt.
Another man came along. saw the out
of-doors-looking fellow staring at the
pavement, and likewise stopped. Then
another. and still others, halted and ex-
amined the peculiar marks that had at
tracted the first mans attention.
I've seen tracks like them in the sand
at the edge of the Sahara and up along
the Nile"-it was the wearer of the
Mackinaw speaking 1--WE seen EN- in
India and I've seen 'em good many
times in the dust of the lot where the
big top stood. But I sure never expected
to see EN- on the Avenue in Washington
in the middle of January"
Those in the crowd examined the Gu
rious looking marks again. They were
plainly stamped in damp imprint on the
asphalt, and they were unlike the tracks
made by any animal that habitually uses
the streets of Washington. Something
like a greatly enlarged track made by
sheep, they were, except that they
seemed to have been made with some sort
of bifurcated pad rather than with
hoof.
Solution Finally Given.
What kind of tracks are they?"
queried one of the crowd.
Them? Why thems camel tracks;
that's what they are" answered the man
with the weather-beaten face. I'm an
animal man-been with Blanks circus
for fifteen years-and 1 ought to know
But what in the name of Pat are they
doing here, right on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., Washington. D. c., at this time
of year? That's what's got me winging."
Then somebody happened to remember
that a play appearing at one Of the local
theaters has several camels in the cast
Probably the cameIs had been out for
exercise, or for water, or something. The
old circus man breathed a sigh of re-
lief.
That's it, l reckon" he said. II was
just beginning to think maybe I was
seeing things. and honest, I've been on
the wagon for the last five years"

FOR FREE ANTITOXINS
in FIGHTING DISEASE
Theme of Lecture by DR.. Kinyoun,
Bacteriologist of District
Health Department.

Free manufacture and distribution by
the District government of antitoxins
for the prevention of diphtheria, typhoid
fever and other diseases of germ origin
was proposed by DIR. Joseph j. Kinyoun,
bacteriologst of the District health de-
partment, in a lecture last night at the
Y. NJ c. A. on The Laboratory in It's
Relation to the Health of the City
DR.. Kinyoun, who introduced diphtheria
antitoxin in Washington in 1885. made
it plain that he believes a municipal
health department should regard as one
of its most importat functions the adop-
ton of preventive methods in the fight on
communicable diseases.
Proposes Antitoxin Plant
Washington should have a diphtheria
antitoxin plat. he declared If provi-
sion were made to enable the local
health department to produce and serve
vaccines for the prevention of typhoid
fever, smallpox and other diseases, health
conditions here would be greatly i'm
proved, he said.
The speaker described the discovery and
methods of treatment of cholera, hydro
phobia and other maladies He outlined
the work that is done in the chemical and
meteorological laboratories of cities, as
sorting that he knows no agency which is
contributing more to humanity and the
betterment of community life than the
laboratory.
He urged that provision be made for an
enhancement of the laboratory work of
the local health department.

ARCTIC CIRCLE ANIMALS
ARE SHOWN IN MOVIES"
Capt. F. E. Kleinschmidt, Explorer
and Scientist, Lectures Before
National Geographic Society.

One of the most interesting collec-
ttons Of moving pictures of arctic circle
animals ever seen in Washington was
exhibited before the members of the
National Geogra phic Society yesterday
afternoon and again last night by
Capt F. E. kleinschmidt, explorer and
scientist. at Masonic Temple.
Instead of a desolate. frozen land,
such as the average American believes
Alaska to be, Capt. kleinschnidt
showed it to be pulsating with life-a
land in which blueberries and straw
berries and flowers grow in profusion.
Even the humming- bird was found as
far north as 90 degrees.
Capt. Kleinschmidt has spent fifteen
years in the far north. He said he
reached his highest latitude, 70 de-
grees and % minutes, on his 1913 ex-
petition. The Muir glacier. which is
large enough to hold all the famous
glaciers of Switzerland put together,
was shown with its mountains of ice.

when it was roped from the steamer.
She charged the boat attempted to bite

just as he prefers and we Americans
will not oppose him. but when the Ger

any and all who do not sympathize with
Germany and AustriR-Hungary, they are
inviting criticism.
To begin with. the Germans, in America
are the loudest in expressing themselves.
Their newspapers-the German press
are even digging up scandals that took
place years ago right here is America
political eruptions and graft cases that
we Americans condemned. They are
making little of our country, They are
discourteous to the land that has given
them bread. They are wilfully ignoring

New York,s First Primary.

Governor Gyms overwhelming renomina-
ton against the anu-Tammany candidate, John
A. Hennessey and District Attorney Whitman's
republican nomination for governor show that
New York's first statewide primary election is
decidedly in favor of the organization forces.
This Is further emphasized by the marked VIC
tory Of James w. Gerard over Franklin d.
Roosevelt for the democratic senatorial NOM
nation, for Gerard had the backing of the
Tammany crowd. Evidently, while 1.-The old

back OF his claims was the record Of six Tam
many indictments and six Tammany convictions
and imprisonments for official graft. yet the
democrats of New York elect to reward Tam

Interest in the Gerard-Roosevelt race CEN
tered in the fact that both are attaches of the
Wilson administration, the former the ambassa-

the navy, one supported and the other opposed
by Boss Murphy. Mr.. Whitmsn's great victory
will serve to recall the fierce attack made upon
him by Colonel Roosevelt. Suffers close race

what special popular triumph has been achieved
in this initial statewide primary for New York
