Pith of Fine Texture.

Like the elder. this tree has q soft
snow white pith of very fine texture
bout an inch in diameter. 1t is from
this core that the sheets mentioned
above are secured. The source of this
paperlike substance was not known
to scientists of this country until 1850.
Sheets of this pith have been called
rice aper' through the mista ken no
tion that they We're made from rice, or
rice straw. as is the more common
cigarette paper. 1t is not paper at
all however, but a natural product
secured direct from this tree. Through
a miscroscope the cellular form ca II
readily be seen. The sheets are cut in
the following manner:
The cylindrlcal core of the Aralia o,
Fatsa is first soaked to keep it from
cracking. and then rolled on hard

81 WOMEN DELEGATES
DRY" to Have More Than G. o. p.
and Democrats. Combined.

st. Paul, July 1S.-There will be i
women delegates in the Prohibition
national convention when it opens to-
morrow to name a national ticket.
There were fewer than fifty women
delegates in the Republican and DEM
ocratic national conventions combined.
Included in the list of women dele
gates here are the wives of two for
mer presidential candidates of the
Prohibition party. Mrs. John Bidwell
of California and Mrs. Eugene Chafin
of Arizona. Mrs. Frances E. Beau
champ of Kentucky is the only woman
delegate at large elected in a non-suf-
frage state. Miss Marie C. Brehn and
Miss Helen Hood of Chicago are two of
the eighteen Illinois delegates-at-
large. There are thirteen other Illi-
nois women delegates from congress
sional districts.
The only woman delegate regularly
elected in primary in non-suf-
frage state is Mrs. Emerson Void of
Alexandria, MINI.
Pre-convention activity conferred to-
day upon the meeting of the Five
Million Voters club. This meeting is
to pledge 100000 voters belonging
to it not to vote for any presidential
aspirant who declines to oppose the
liquor business nationally.

of the headiest infieIders in the game,
became the hero of the best bonenead
play of the season few days ago in
a game between the Dodgers and the
Giants at New York. Mike stole sec
ond with the bases full.
This play, though it seldom hap
pens. is justly celebrated as the most
outrageous any player can commit and
is commonly thought to indicate a very
low order of intellect. Just the same.
the average fan would give his watch
and chain to see it happen and no
doubt would boot and moan thereat
with real pleasure.
Mike Mowrey is no bonehead and is
in fact as sharp-witted a player as
adorns the game. But he seemed to
suffer for the moment one of those
lapses that come to most everyone.
Stangel was on third and Wheat on
second, while Mike had just reached
first. Mike wanted to get to second,
as Cutshaw was at bat, and Mike knew
