THE AMAZING BEETLE FAMILY.
They Arc Found Everywhere, in Ice
land and Africa.

one OF the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the strug-
gle for existence. says the Popular
Science Monthly. OF all creatures
they are by far the most numerous,
no fewer than 1900 distinct species
having been identified-three times
the number of backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically every
wherein the frost-bound tracts of
Iceland and in the hot desert sands
Of Africa, on the highest mountains,
under the ground, and as fossil in the
deepest strata; on land and in water.
on plants. among stones. and In wood
and earth: and even in the very
craters of VOLCANOES.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the
inhospitable land Of Spitzbergen, to
the north of Russia. Here are mann
mails. birds, fish. mollusks. crusta-
ceans, a few insects of varied species
and many spiders. but not a single
beetle. While other insects have sue
ceeded in some way in migrating from
the mainland. the beetles have APP
parently been unable to cross the
wide. lev waters.

FRANKLIN'S IDEA OF DEATH
From a Letter Written at Time of
Brothers. Death,

Dear child: l condole with you
We have lost a most dear and valued
relation. but it is the will of God and
nature that these mortal bodies be
laid aside when the soul is to enter
into real life. 'Tis rather an embryo
state. II preparation for living; a man
IS not completely born until he is
dead. Why. then, should we grieve
that a new child is born among the
{ immOrtals. a new member added to
their happy society?
We are spirits. That bodies
should be lent us while they can af-
ford us pleasure. assist us in acquiring
knowledge or doing good TO our fell
low-creaturcS is n kind and bcnevo-
lent act OF God. When they become
unfit for these purposes and afford
us pain instead of pleasure. instead
Of en- aid become an incumbrance,
and answer none Of the intentions for
which they were given, It is equally
kind and benevolent that a way is
provided by which we may get rid Of
them. Death is the way. We our
selves prudently choose a partial
death. In some cases mangled,
painful limb, which cannot be re-
stored. we willing cut off. He who
plucks a tooth parts with 1t freely.
since the pain goes with It; and he
that quits the whole body parts Of
pains and diseases 1t was liatle to-
or capable Of making him suffer.
Our friend and We are invited
abroad on a party of pleasure that Is
to last forever. His chair was first
ready and he has gone before US. We
could not all conveniently start to-
gether. and why should you and I
be grieved at this. since we are cure
to follow and we know where 20 find
them? Adieu.

,ATUTUBS AND EFFICIENCY.
American Physician Advances New
Theory a. To German Successes.

Many reasons have been advanced
since the summer os 1914 why the
German nation possesses such hlSl
degree of efficiency. hut the latest
Given through tho agency OF Ir'
simon Baruch, is that the bathtub
has done more to lring about tins
condition than anything else. Water
is, therefore. coming into It's own
whether in the prpnlbition states OF
the south or in the ltaisers domains.
At a meeting in Paltimore recently
Doctor Baruch offered some interest
ing observations on the bathing hab-
its Of nations and he made the state
mcnt that in Germany the people
hathc more than in any other OF lhe
countries Their unusual 'fhclcncy
is. in his opinion. tie logical result
of this invi.orating habit. Thc great
number of public laths throuShout
Germany has inculcotcd this spirit
Of cleanliness, so that bathing. 3c-
cording to this physician. has re
come second nature to the inhabi-
tants. ,,,
In discussing the results Of bathing
on The pcoplc Of Il nation, ne said
that Rome. Greece and japan were
GOOD examples of bathing nations
which had achieved marked success
In efficiency. In 1919 there were 200
German towns where there were pun
lie pools. AMI IN 210 towns there were
shower baths. while in 1871 there
was no Gown in france that had
either public pools or showers.
Berlin. in 1908. with population
Of two million, had within It's bor-
ders los warm bath Institutions.

timated at seven million, had htty

| Interest Of the country club last
| week was centered upon the annual
| state golf tournament at Muskogee
| where Tulsa came out with chief
| hohors in the amateur ranks. IA. C..
GWlnnup Of this city played against
ms old teammates and won the anna
| Ieur championship of the state for the
fourth time. He also was instrumen,
tal IN the victory Of the Tulsa team
which won the beautiful cup offered
for the event.
Iulsa's victories are highly priced
because heretofore the tournamcn,
mas rested between Oklahoma City
ana MuShOgec. ON account of the
5000 showing made by Tulsa artists
the sentiment was set for bringing the
next tournament to this city but
through fear that the proposed IS
hole course would not be completed
IN time the officials passed up Tulsa
ana sent the event to oklahoma City.
The tournament at Muskogee was
the most successful ever held in tnL
state, more men having entered than
were allowed to play 1t was neces.
Sdry to play preliminary round to
see who would play. the lowest scores
being dropped from the lists.
Almost without exception the Tulsa
candidates qualified for the first
round and most of them went to the
second session where they fell in IL

terful fashion.

team which brought home the team
cup are II. q. Gwinnup. G. \. Mat
son, +. l.. Moore, X. y. Stauffer. c. w.
Bliss. The team played good con-
sistent game and won by the narrow
margin of four strokes over Musko-
gee.
The only disappointment for Tulsa
deNotees was when j. q. Collins
failed to place in the professional
championship. Mr. Collins has made
a remarkable record since affiliating
with the Tulsa club and only an "off
day held him down. on the previous
day he defeated Nicols, who won tho
title.
one of the sidelights of the Mus
kogec tournament is told by c. Il.

Mr.. Den: had measured his own abil-
ity and decided that he should be IN

sidelight is that Mr.. Dent. dubbed"

WINNING TIGER
TEAM RETURNS
TO Home field

After winning seven games out
OF eight, the Tigers returned to
Tacoma today for a three-game
series with Seattle at Athletic
park. Yesterdays victory In the
Elliott bay city gave Tacoma
record OF three wins out of four
games with the Tealey Raymond
crew.
. . . .
Young AL Hartman, who was
dropped from the team and then
resigned, after which he proved 10
be a whole lot better than anyone
imagines, won yesterdays game
after an uphill battle. He had his
fast ball working like charm
after the first inning, allowed
only six hits and did not walk a
man.
In the first Seattle went after
the youngster savagely. Shaw
doubled on the first ball pitched,
and Cunningham scored him on a
triple. The other Giants died be-
fore they reached the bags safely
and during the remainder of the
game Hartman held them in
check with seeming ease.
. . . .
The Tigers won in the sixth,
with three punched hits. With
one out, Bigbee singled through
the pitcher. Bohne doubled to
left. Fries hit to Eastley and
Skeeter was caught at the plate.
Bohne scored on a double steal
with Fries. Bankhead's single
to right gave Fries a chance to
score from second, and Eddie
romped home like high school
boy winning sprinting cham
pionship.
. . . .
Bigbee has been slumping in
his hitting this week. He has
only hit in two games out of four
played at Seattle.
Ike Wolfer, former left fielder
on the Tiger team, who was re-
leased because of illness, is play
ing independent ball in Anacon-
da. He is In the outfield of the
Knights of Columbus team. Four
other former Northwestern
leaguers are on the team--Mc-
Janet, catcher from Butte; Shea,
catcher from Great Falls; Stoke.
first baseman from Butte, and
Sells, infielder from Butte and Sc
attic.
. . . .
Frank Guigni, former Seattle
third sacker, who was traded to
Salt Lake for Brick" Eldred, is
now playing third for the Spokane
Indians. After a short session
with the Mormons, Frank was
turned to Butte and was given a
trial by McGinnity at first, after
Stoke went on strike. Frank
did not take kindly to his new
boss, however, and has the habit
of expressing himself in plain
words now and then. McGinnity
didn't like 1t and tried to force
Blankenship to take Guigni back
again. Skipper Cliff refused to
do this, but turned the infielder
over to Spokane. McGinnity rais-
ed a howl over the action, but he
couldn't prevent the transaction.
. . . .
