CLEOPATRA NOT A BEAUTY
Far From u, According to Proof HaR1-
ed Down BY Nun,lsmatists
Of Her Day.

Cleopatra. long famed as the fsiFese.
OF the fair, was not beautiful nc a1s
In fact. she wasn't even what In co.,
monty called pretty, says a local re-
port OF the meeting OF the cOnvepti08
Of numismatists In the Baltimore Amex~
lean. Cleopatra really was ugly.
This more or less startling fact. %
long unknown TO the world Ia general.
has come out from its hiding to disll-
lusion a deluded public as II result OF
the annual convention OF the Ameri-
can Numismatic association. says an
exchange.
Numlsmatists can prove that Ihe
supposed bewitching Egyptian queen
had irregular features, II HAT chest,
large ears small eyes and rather bOny
shoulders. And, too, her neck was q
more or less scrawny affair, with nOue
too faint suggestion OF an Adams ap-
pie.
The proof Is found In some Of the
rare coins which the numismatists at
tending the convention from all seq
tions OF the country brought with
them.
CleOpatra's portrait appears ON some
OF these coins, and there are historical
data 10 prove that she approved Of
these designs. As she was very vain
woman, they argue, she certainly
would not have approved IL the p0r--
traits had not been good likenesses-

ALT NUREMBERG
0y ELLIS BROWNE.

Professor Feldman brought his
chummy car to standstlll before the
door of the inn. Alt Nuremberg, with
Its concrete block towers and spiked
iron-bound oaken gates, announced
Hospitality on board outside that II
served food and soft drinks. Another
placard pictured an amber brown mug
covered with "A generous froth that
appealed more strongly to his dusty
palate, and, descending with haste, he
was soon inside the garden waiting
to be served at little white-clothed
iron table near "A vlne-covered wall.
A deep, steady roar told of the prox-
Unity Of the ocean, and the professor
waited impatiently, as he wished to
finish his journey and have cooling
dip In the surf before time to dress
for dinner.
The thought of dinner and evening
brought flush of happiness, for he
had kept his car seaward for four hun
dred miles because Betty Pershing was
AT Ocean Point with her family. And
an invitation from Mrs. Pershlng one
day when summer outings were being
discussed was not to be overlooked
You must come to Ocean Point
when we are there, professor" she had
insisted. "rhe golf course there is per-
feet and the sailing Is fine"
"Yes, indeed, Feldman." agreed Tom
Pershing, heartily, Shaping the other
jovially on the back.
"Thank you!" he had smiled nppre-
ciatively. "You certainly offer induce
ments. And YOU, Miss Betty2 Have
| your approvalW
Certainly, professor. l was just
wondering how We could get along
through the summer without you -
Betty answered brightly.
The die Is cast. CO." he an
nOunced gratefully. II assure you
shall do my best TO be useful. l shall
stock uP on fresh new Jokes for rainy
days, and make proteges Of all the old
ladies and" he stopped. He had
caught Bettys eye and hers dropped
In pretty confusion, for his eyes were
saying only too plainly that she was
the cause Of his gratitude.
So the Pershings had gone and the
professor had followed.
The professor changed his mind and
ordered orangeade. After all, Alt M.
remberg wasn't Heidelberg and he
was no longer German student.
Those were good old days, though.
That was where he had met Tom Per-
shinl twenty years ago. Now he was
nearly forty. Heidelberg! How far
away how long ago II seemed! And
pretty little Elsa, haxen-haired and
demure That had been quite an az.
fair. When he came to America he
told her he would make his fortune
and return when he was rich.
He finished his sandwich and got up
t. go. More people had come in and IA
little orchestra had come from some
where and started 10 play.
The curtain at the rear of the little
stage parted and four singers came out
, dressed In native costume and picked
up the air 81 the players. The profess

, haired sopra1o In her velvet bodice
wac none other than the girl he had
been thinking about-Elsa
He sat staring confused, his
thoughts n chaos. The song ended
and the singers sat down listlessly.
The professor made his way 10 the
platform and Elsa lowered her eyes
from the top OF the wall. 'Emmet
Du Emmet!" she cried

Shipbuildings Is ReOiOed
By Boom on The Great Lakes
And Building ofPanan1q Canal

Gtruction, are bringing better prices
than in many years.
This boom will bring millions of dol
lars of business to the dozen or so of
shipbuilding companies, has created
new work for hundreds of men and
already has caused the rebuilding of
old yards and the planning of several
new ones.
The demand is strong for both lake
and ocean vessels and only the inabil-
.ty of the builders to give assurance of
delivery of the ships by 1917 stands in
the way of even heavier orders. For
eign interests are prominent among the
buyers.
With the first clash of arms in Eu-
rope, shippers saw the necessity for
obtaining boats quickly to carry mer-
chandise to foreign and domestic ports
One New York capitalist obtained at
least four huge Great Lake package
freighters. At the Welland canal these
ships had to be cut into sections be-
fore they could continue the trip tC
the coast.
The tremendous amount of shipping
that has gone to the bottom in the wal
zone, together with the fact that many
of the shipyards in England has beer
turned over almost exclusively to ships
of war, has forced foreign buyers t.
look to American shipbuilders TO
new vessels and some foreign buyer
are ready to pick up any ship for sal
on the seaboard.

Bear Trap Catches Cow,
Bruin Dimes In Luxury

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 29.-Wash-
iEgton is furnishing good crop of
nature stories this year. Here are the
prize winners:
From Enumclaw--C. E. Barker set
trap to catch a bear that had been de-
stroying his pigs. When the bear came
along he found a COW in it., caught by
one foot, and Immediately dined on
bossy. The cow was the descendant
of COW that came across the plains
from Ohio f1fty-three years ago. For
eyars the Barker family has kept the
calves of the Annie Laurie COW that
worked in the yoke along the old Ore
gon trail, almost seventy years ago
The cow eaten by the bear was the last
of her line.
From La Conner-Mrs. J. st. John
sent her year-old son out to the
patch to get some turnips for dinner,
and he returned carrying three, each
as large as the rim of mans hat. The
seed was sown August Is. The turnip
attained a weight of nearly pounds
in less than three months. There was
hot a turnip in the patch smaller than
a saucer
From Toppenish-Eric Carlson this
year had asunflower stalk IA feet tall,
and the largest sunflower measured II
inches in diameter. Besides this large
one, there were 1877 other flowers of the
same stalk, many of them more than
foot wide. The diameter of the stalk
foot above the ground was inches.
From Chelan-From a Seeding tree
e, F. Hamilton picked an apple that
weighed pounds and measured %
inches in circumference, 8 inches long
and more than inches wide The tree
grew from seed plants four years ago.
There were forty apples on the sapling
this year, many of them half as large
as the prize fruit
From Ferndale-The big 7-year-old
steer reported in Oregon has a com
petitor in a 6-year-old steer raised by
George Rahmess of this place. 1t
weighs 3,140 pounds, beating the Ore
gon "critter" by 81 pounds. The steer
is pure bred from Polled Angus stock.
