of Acknowledgements has had a year to
lose its original ardor, the task is just
as big as ever.
Sixty thousand tons of food have to
be sent every month and over 100000
people fed who have no means to pag
for anything This means a minimum
of So 100000 a month to be raised, and
it is not expected the commissions
present funds can last much longer.
In one respect the work will be much
easier than it was last year. The or
ganization of the commission is COM
plete and well nigh perfect. Its COM
mittee has become accustomed to
smooth and harmonious cooperation,
and its agents have been established
in every center Of distribution. The
problem thus is merely that of getting
the food instead of getting it and then
getting it to the people of Belgium.
The diplomatic obstacles which made
Lthe early work particularly arduous
also do not now exist. All of the bel
licerent nations have recognized the
commission rs the medium to supply
food to noncombatants and have
agreed not to modest rs shipments. AS
Bates put it, the. commission has be-
come established as an Emporium I'M

CAPTURING A GIRAFFE.
The Animal Is Too Fragile to Snare Ir

The Animal Is Too Fragile to Snare In
Traps or Pitfalls.
Perhaps you have often wondered
about the scarcity of CRATES in pub
lie ZOOS. The reason that only very
few menageries can boast of this eX-
hibit is on account of the difficulty in
capturing and transporting them.
The long legged and long necked ami
NAL. keen of eye and nose and ear can
see, smell and hear a hunter miles
away. Hunters cannot employ traps
and pitfalls against him. His fragile
legs would be crushed in trap, and
both his legs and neck would be bro
ken in a pitfall.
There is only one way to capture
giraffe alive. He must be surrounded
and chased until from sheer WEAKNESS
he staggers helpless into bamboo in
closure.
Peril lies in shipping the giraffe for
his voyage on the sea. The CRATES
legs break very easily. If he slips the
fragile underpinnings double under
him and snap In transferring the ami
NAL from shore to ship his long, help

tackle or strike spar, mast or shroud,

RICH OCTOGENARIAN
AGAIN PROSPECTING
Goes Back to Scenes Of Early
Success In ''Fifties." "

Forest Cal.-The spectacle of an old
man. eighty-fve years of age, fitting
himself out as a prospector and taking
his blankets into the hills after sixty
years vacation from the same sort of
work proved interesting to the resi-
dents of this old mining camp. What
made the incident more interesting was
the fact that the prospectOr is a
wealthy man and has no need for any
more of this worlds goods.
The stranger is James G. Oh Use, who
mined in the headwaters of Jim Crow
canyon in the early fifties and who
took out enough to enable him to live
in comfort among his relatives ever
since.
He took his "pile" and later invested
in the rich apple district in Washing
ton and recently came to California TO
visit the fair. The call of his early
life rang in his ears, and he could not
resist the temptation to cover the
ground where he made his fortune in
his younger years.
Chase was not so successful in his
first days panning as he was in the
fifties, but was delighted when he
found color in his pan. 81 think
could show some of you old miners a
trick in this business yet" said Chase
to some of the men who have been
mining here with Indifferent success
for years.
The old man does not look more than
sixty and says he can stand camping
as well as any man of any age. There
are few in this old mining town who
really remember the old man as a
youngster of twenty-five who made
good Cleanup" and left here in 1855.

No ROYALTIES Called "Baby."

One noteworthy feature about royal
ties Is that none has been called
baby" From their earliest years the
royal children are always called by
their names or possibly by some pet
name, but an English prince or prin-
cess is never called baby either by
relatives or by his or her nurses. From
the age of five a prince is styled "sir"

ALLlGATORS' BILL.
Worries the Town Council of Ander-
son, Ind.

Anderson, Ind.-Two small alliga
tors, each about three feet long, but
nearly twenty-five years old, are caus-
ing the city water department some
concern because of their meat bill, al
though the cost has averaged not more
than 500 year.
The last bill Just presented for meat
was SIS, and because that bill was for
only one feed City Clerk Collins and
City Comptroller Richter were aston
ished. 1t was explained, however
that the alligators had tasted since Oc-
tober last. 1t is regarded doubtful
whether the alligators will again mani
fest hunger until next spring, but the
records show that perfectly good meat
for the two alligators has cost the city
about $780,

John Moore of Decatur, ILL.,, Has That
Distinction.

Decatur. Ill-John Moore of this city
has entered the competition for the
distinction of being the most confirm
ed baseball fan of the country. Moore
is blind but is not depending upon that
infirmity to bring him any advantage
over his rivals.
The prize to go with the distinction
is a ticket admitting the holder to any
ball game between professional teams
in this country or Canada.
Moore has a strong claim to the title
and is prepared to submit evidence, as
conclusive as practicable, that he has
not missed a game at Decatur, which
is a member of the Three-I league. in
eight years.

Say Dan Cupid Is Loafins.

Columbus. O.-Cupid's business in
Ohio was all shot full of holes last
year. Little Dan trapped only 1900
Ohio pairs in the year ending April l.
1915, according to figures given out by
Secretary of State Hildebrand. And
that's 1854 pairs fewer than were we'd
led in Ohio in the previous year and
800 fewer than 1912, when the popu-
,ation was much smaller.

Godlewsky troupe of royal Russian danc- CTS. who came to this country just be- fore the European war broke out. They are among the cleverest performers in their line, and show the customs and dances of their native land. This is one of the few Russian troupes now in the United States, as the titanic struggle on the other side of the ocean has deprived Americans of many excellent foreign acts. There are five members in this company, and each one is a finished artist.
 Woman's Department Charming
 The woman's department at the Ala bama State Fair is characterzed by the beautiful and practical exhibits which surpass any of previous years. The en- tire building has been draped in a thin white material, which serves as a beau tigul background, especially in the flow
 CT booths. The floral exhibit lends beauty, making, as it were, the entire place garden filled with palms. ferns Every booth in the building has been occupied and each shows exceptionally good taste in the manner of the ar rangement of the exhibit. Eighteen of the booths are occupied by Jefferson coun- ty women, showing their individual work which Is very noticeable increase over the seven of last year.
 One of the most interesting exhibits is that of the Florence Normal school which is in charge of F. T. Nisbet, di- rector of manual training and drawing every department of the school is rep resented, sewing, cooking, china painting manual training and other arts, eacf article showing accuracy and skill on the part of the pupil who will in short time become a teacher in the public 1 schools.
 "A normal school is neither a higf school nor college. 1t trains teachers for the public schools and does noth l ing else,' is the motto that occupies 2 central place in the booth as we'll as il
 the heart of H. J. Willingham, presi dent of the Florence Normal school.
 Mrs. J. B. Reid, superintendent of thu
 wor1an's department, is enthused ove the exhibit, considering it the most sue l cessful ever. An array of more thai 1 100 pictures of beautiful types of Ala
 bama women is shown, and this will lea'
 in the future to an art room of Alabam
 beauties. Two pictures of Miss Loi
 and Miss Roberta Wilson are shown a
 the ages of 10 and years, respectively.
