AMERICAN DATES
Continued from first page)

lCOulluueu from uTSl pdSeJ
trip has received numerous letters
asking about different points that
the band will visit. 1t is in reply
10 these requests that this itinerary
is published as far as it now has
been definitely settled. The reason
they have for inquiring about the
itinerary, many state, is because
they wish to attend the concert near
est to their home. Others state that
they wish to buy tickets even if they
cannot go and inquire where these
may be procured. They wish to use
the means in assisting the band to
pay the expenses of the Norway trip.
Those who wish to help pay the
expenses of the Norway trip in this
way should write to the pastor of
the Synod congregation at the point
where the band appears nearest to
their home. If they enclose money
for the number of tickets they wish
to purchase, these will be sent to
them. The price for tickets gener-
ally is so cents, although there are
a few places where the price is high
er.
The prospects for a very success
full trip of the band after their re-
turn are very bright. The remand
er of the itinerary will be published
when it is all completed.

whales. When I saw blue male with
a harpoon between the shoulders drag
ship, with engines at full speed
astern, through the water almost as
though it had been a rowb0at, l began
to listen to the stories of their in
credible strength with more respect.
The fnback, closely related to the
blue whale, has been called the gre
hound of the sea- for it's long slender
body is built on the lines of the racing
yacht and the animal can equal the
speed of the fastest steamship.
All the large whales show grea,
affection for their young, and the cows
and calves will seldom leave each other
when pursued by ship. l remember
at one time in Alaska we sighted a
female fnback with young one about
80 feet long beside her AS the Gil
whale rose to spout, the gunner fired
killing her almost instantly. The calf
although badly frightened, continued
to swim in a circle about the ship,
and finally, when its dead mother had
been hoisted to the surface, the little
fellow came alongside so close that +
could have struck him with a stone
During the time that the carcass was
being inflated and the gun reloaded
the calf was constantly within a few
fathoms of the ship, swimming around
and around, sometimes rubbing itself
against the body of its dead mother.
Finally harpoon was sent crashing
into it's side and it sank without a
struggle.
I'm the upper portion of the head of
the sperm whale is an immense oil
tank in which the valuable 'sperma-
ceti' is found in a liquid condition, and
from which it may be dipped with a
bucket when an incision is made. From
a sperm whale so weet length which
was sent from Japan, 20 barrels Of
spermaceti were taken out of the 'casc'
and the surrounding fat The sperm
whale is the animal which yields am
bergis, the valuable substance used so
extensively in the manufacture of our
best perfumes"

girl lust CAN'T HELP STEALING
THIEF HAS BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 12.-Pearl Tam
bIey has 5r-kea her parole for the
sixth time, and has been forgiven.
Pearl is thief
She is a liar who loves the truth.
She can no more help stealing than she
can help lying. She tells needless lies
and steals things shs doesn't want But
she always tells about it afterward.
Pearl is just an ordinary looking
girl But she has extraordinary eyes
They are a beautiful blue. A year
ago at Portland, Ore, she was arrested
with one Peter Barbarez. She Lad been
stealing things for him. Barbarez
was sent to federal prison for white
slavery. She went free only to steal
again. Finally Pearl was sent to the
Washington prison for from one to fl
teen years. The court clerk took pity
on her and had her paroled again to
him. His wife found that Pearl had q
daughter two years old, and the baby
was sent for. They hoped that caring
for it would make the mother forget
her "lust for Loot"
But the baby had been so long with
its grandmother that it crisd for her
and wouldn't stay in its mothers arms.
Last week Pearl took hat, a child's
bank and some useless trinkets from
her benefactor's home and left wo"d
that she was going back to the oh
life Three hours later she gave her,
self up TO the Everett police.
