SEEMS THAT INSTINCT ERRS

That almost unerrinE instinct which
carries animals through grave dan
gers has led in many instances In the
Midway and Sunset OIL fields OF Cali

victims are rabbits and water fowl.
A jackrabbit and a cottontail ind q

many such in the oil fields where oil
piping Is a necessity for the transpor
tation OF oil to the refineries. The rab
bits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires q per
manent home, and the fackrabbit
wants . refuge safe from malevoleni
man.
Soon they discover theiS habitat is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One end of the
hole is closed. Even then they do not
leave. Soon the other end Of the hole
is darkened. Then 1t is darkness
eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later 1t is discovered that
a newly laid oil pipe is chokcd. After
a great labor the line is disjoiuted and
the remains of many rabbits removed
Thousands of rabbits have been thus
exterminated in the oil fields.
The death rate among water fowl is
even greater. Again, as with the rab'
bits, instinct leads them to certain de-
struction. Every little lake of oil in
the vicinity of q gusher is a trap for
the unthinking birds. At twilight and

Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruf, itching

a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn

SWEETHEART WATTS IN AUTO
A sordid love tale reached it's eli
max yesterday. A wife, her sister
and her brother lie dead today. The
husband, a triple murderer, died in
the Oak Park hospital. The girl is
heaTtbrOken.
George H. Jones, garage owner of
haywood, went to the home of his
Wife's relatives last night, shot his
wife; Catherine CosgrOVe, her sister,
and John COsgrOve, the brother.
Then he escaped in an auto with
Margaret Bitner of 34O1 Colorado av.,
third member of the love trio.
Jones took the girl to her home,
returned in the auto to his garage at
9Th av. and Madison St, and there
fired a shot into his breast
The love affair was fast reaching
another and different climax when
the tragedy came last night. Mrs.
Jones recently filed suit for divorce
and yesterday notice of an injunction
restraining him from dispOsing of his
property, was served on Jones.
Harry, the 16-year-Old son, fought
hard to prevent the shooting when
Jones showed up at the back door of
the Cosgrove home with a revolver
in his hand.
He grappled with his father and the
pair rolled off the porch to the
ground before he was overpowered.
Jones arose, fired four bullets at his
wife and then as her kinfolk came to
her assistance, finished each with one
bullet.
With a fast-gathering mob at his
heels, he fed down the street to
where Miss Bitner sat in his auto.
Here, before he could crank the car,
he was knocked down twice by men
from the crowd. The engine started
and Miss Bitner drove him away in a
hail of bullets.
Miss Bitner is held by the police |
of the W. 18th st. station as a wit !

TESTS FOR STEAMER FOLLOW
CHARGES OF OLANDER
So many queer tales about the
safety of the whaleback excursion
steamer Christopher Columbus have
been floating around that the Good
rich Line is going to attempt to Off
set the injury to its business and vim
dictate the boats good name by a
spectacular test in the Chicago river
next Thursday.
To try and prove that the boat is
stable, the Goodrich Line will put a
weight equivalent to 1900 people on
one side of the ship. If it does not
turn turtle, the boat line will prob
ably consider that sufficient proof
that all charges are UnfOunded.
A. w. Goodrich, president, and H.
w. Thorp, manager of the Goodrich
Line, will remain on board during the
test. They have not mentioned if
precautions will be taken to have the
boat in especially fine ballast for this
trip.
The tales told of the Christopher
Columbus are many, Victor Olander,
president of the seamen's union,
wrote letter to Washington author
tiles some time ago saying it would
take an hour to close the gangWay
and matches. Later he said a test
showed it did take an hour to close
the matches and fasten half the bolts.
With open matches, the boat could
founder in a few moments in a heavy
lake, he said.
The executive committee of the
Chicago Federation of Labor in an
official report declared it was GRIM
inaI to permit $500 people to be car
ried on the Christopher Columbus.
Someone has told a story Of the
ballast of the Christopher Columbus
being railroad iron which might shift
and tear a hole in it's side. Many have

Ln. Cahls 70 Tie Trlbnn. ]

London, Nov 30.--Lord Haldans, who
resigned as Lord High Chancellor last
May, presiding at a lecture given by
Sidney Webb, the famous professor Of
economics, on Supernatural Authori-
ty Which Shall Prevent War;" made
an important peace pronouncement:
1n a great war like the present"
said Lord Hpldane, 1.-TWO questions are
always before us for reflection. Both
relate to peace. Because these two
questions have not been kept distinct
either in speeches. the press or the at
titude of the public generally, confu-
sion has arisen in the mind OF the
public.
"The Arst question is-on what terms
are we going to make peacei The sec
on Ia, when peace Is made. when vic
tory is Anal, what assurance are we
and the world going to have that no
such situation will recur in the fut-
ure? How Is the world going to throw
lISeI INTO INC IItIHcHupuo bcoh VA pAO-
venting a similar CATASTROPHE
Regarding the first question, the
first consideration Is that We are not
fighting alone. Our allies, as much as
ourselves, are fighting for life and
freedom. All are pledged TO no separate
peace that would be fatal source OF
weakness.
Apart from this obligation OF the
Allies, another point of equal import
arises. With whom should we enter
into a discussion Of peace? With the
German nation? No, not the German
nation that gave the world Schiller,
Beethoven, Wagner, leasing, Niebuhr
and scores Of scientists and philoso-
pliers, and who in better times we hope
will produce many more such. No, IN
fortunately. For this purpose the Ger
man nation has abdicated from its po-
sition. II has given its power into the
hands of a different people. All power
is now i'm the hands OF the German
General staff, who have vaulted into
the saddle OF the German nation with
none other set desire than that Of vic
tory and conquest, who, if peace were
discussed now, would only regard il as
