Most readers must be astonished
by some of the figures relating TO
the fur trade of this country Think
of a fox whose skin is valued in
the market at $1,000 And then
think of paying for a single pair Of
fox cubs six months old from SILL
GOO to $4,000 These precious
foxes are of the silver" or silver
gray variety. and the cubs sold At
the extraordinary prices mentioned
were intended for breeding purposes
on fox farm"
These statistics rest on the au-
thority Of Mr. y Dearbon, biologist
in the United states Biological Sur
vey. 1t is only right TO say that the
prices quoted for cubs were the re-
suit of the initiation of values in the
fox-raising business in 1913. and
that they do not hold today; but, on
the other hand, from $1,000 to So.
OOO are still the prices named for
single skins of the inner grades.
II goes without saying that the
silver fox is an extraordinary ami
NAL, and all the more so because
he is only an ordinary fox wearing
a peculiarly colored coat. Scienti-
hcally he is called "a melanistic col
or phase" (melanistic meaning
black of the red fox in which the
red hairs of the upper parts are re-
placed entirely by black, while the

fees TO add a thousand or two of

then, unquestionably, it would be
the wonderful red fox whose skin
would command the price OF a good
automobile.
But luckily for those who would
like 10 wear silver-foX furs without
having 70 pay large part Of years
income for them. the silver fox is
readily domesticated and easily
raised on fox farm When there
are enough OF him the prices will
decline. Moreover. he keeps his col

value Of a good pair of breeding
cubs. This is lucky, too. for those
who are seeking a new kind Of in
dustry, although. like all new in
dustries that prove successful fox
farming has been. sometimes. a trap
for the careless and unwary plung-
ing into a new business without the
necessary knowledge and prelimin-
airy experience.

CRIPPLE sPR|NTER GIVES
POLICE A MERRY CHASE
Colored Prisoner 0utdistances Pur-
raers, But Is Captured Under
Hay in Loft.

Camoufiaging as a cripple. Robert
Smith. jr.. colored. escaped from the
custody of deputy marshal who was
conducting him and three other pris-
oners from the van to the Criminal
Court this morning. The wagon had
been drawn up to the curb in front of
the Emery building. and Smith. un-
manacled because of his apparent
crippled condition. was the last to
leave the van. Scarcely had his crutch
struck the sidewalk when the spirit
moved Smith to a getaway.
According to bystanders, the crutch
served as an additional propelling
power for the fleeing criminal. as it
was stated no sprinter ever made a
better showing than did the supposed
cripple. Ten deputy marshals were in
hot pursuit, but none could catch the
prisoner. Smith made for the stables
of the Merchants Transfer and Stor-
courthouse. and. scampering into the
loft of the building, hid himself in the
hay. The deputies surrounded the
building. and Deputy Marshal Weaver
located the fugitive. The chase and
hunt amid the hay lasted about
twenty minutes. Smith was taken to
the cellroom of the court wearing
'wristlets" this time.
This is Smiths second attempt to
avoid Incarceration. He was one of
fifteen prisoners who took French
leave of Mr.. Zinkham at the District
Jail one Sunday evening last month,
After about two weeks of liberty
Smith decided to return to Washington
and was located by the police in Free
mans alley. He opened fire on the
officers and a bullet from a pistol of
one of the policemen struck him in the
foot.
