ANTWERP ZOO GETS
VALUABLE SPECIMEN

LONDON, Sept. 13.-British nat
uralists, who have been confidently
expecting the only live okapi in
captivity was to be brought to the
geological gardens in Regents Park,
were disappointed today when the
news came from Antwerp that the
animal had been brought there from
the Congo by DR.. Lebrum. 1t was
the gift of Nine. Landaghem, whose
husband is in the Congo medical
service.
The okapi is the survivor of a
distant ancestor of the giraffe. An
adult stands about five feet high,
and although it has the general
shape of the giraffe it's neck is rela-
lively shorter and its forelegs are
not so high in proportion to the
headquarters.
The sides of the animals head are
light fawn color and the general
celebration of the body is a dark
purple. The most striking charac-
teristic is that the rump and the
upper part of the legs are trans
versely striped with black and white.
It was first known in 1901. hav-
ing been found in the Semliki for
est, haunting low underground and
'swamps.
This particular specimen was in
Nine. Landaghem's possession for a
number of years and photographs
of it received here show it eating
out of her hand.

FOR 1919 is PROBLEM

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept. 12.-
Seattle football followers will not
be able to learn much about the
1919 University of Washington foot
ball team until the school opens
about October 1.
According to reports reaching
Coach Claude ("Jump") Hunt, only
six of the 1918 varsity players will
report this fall for work. If only
six men come back Hunt will have a
big job on his hands developing a
team that will equal one or two
other Pacific Coast Conference teams
that probably will be made up OF
veterans.
Washington's big game. according
to present prospects will be against
the University of California here
November 81. Reports from the
south say California has a veteran
team this year.

CONSTITUTION DAY
IS CELEBRATED

NEW YORK, Sept. 1~7.--"Consti-
tuition Day" is being celebrated
throughout the country today, the
anniversary of the signing of the
Constitution of the United States, as
the climax of the great constitu-
tional educational campaign which
the league is now, after several
months, bringing to a successful
finish in cooperation with the other
leading patriotic societies of the
country.
This effort of the league is based
on the idea hat rne best antidote
for the poison of un-American radi-
calism is a knowledge and under
standing by all the people, native
and foreign born, of the American
ideal of representative government
as embodied in the constitution.
This conception was enthusiastically
received by thinking men and won-
en- in all parts of the country md
the league has been able to carry
out it's plan with the active cooper
alton of prominent individuals and
organizations in every state in the
union.
Thousands of copies of pamphlets
interpretive of the constitution and
the basic principles and ideals OF the
American government have been
widely circulated by the league and
assurance of the holding of meet
ings on Constitutional Day" as a
elimination of the campaign, has
come from every part of the coun-
try.
The league inaugurated this
movement by uniting in a constitu-
tional celebration organization COM
mittee representatives of leading
patriotic societies and men of ma
tional prominence. This committee
is headed by DR.. David Jayne Hill,
historian and diplomat. who, with
DR.. Robert M. McElroy and the
president of the league, has directed
the campaign and edited the consti-
t%utional interpretive literature cir
culated by the committee. DR.. Hill
is president of the National Associa-
ton for Constitutional Government
and n of the foremost opponents
in America of the ideal of represen-
tative government.

WEST PRUSSIANS use
.GREMADES ON STORES

COBLENZ, Sept. 13.-Hand gre
nades left over from the war were
used effectively recently by enraged
civilians in Zoppot in West Prus-
STA who attacked food stores on the
ground that the shop keepers we're
p~rofiteering. According to infor-
nation reaching American army
headquarters a mob, armed with
grenades, revolvers and other weap-
ons. attacked in numbers the stores
which were known to have charged
high prices.
In the interior of Germany mar.
garine has been quoted recently at 6
marks per pound whereas it for
merly cost $50 marks per pound.
This is attributed to the fact that
large quantities have lately been
bought abroad at higher prices than
formerly owing to the low rate of
German exchange. The official rate
of exchange for August at army
headquarters is two marks, % pfen-
nigs for m franc, giving the mark
a value in American money of a
fraction more than six cents.

CzECHS HAVE ENOUGH
FOOD FOR WINTER

PRAGUE, Sept. 13.-By tighten

careful conservation and organiza-

kia can weather the winter safely
in the opinion of the American food
experts who have been studying the
country. In fact Czecho-Slovakia,
particularly Bohemia, is said TO be
a good deal better off than most of
Eastern Europe. Her crops will run
from so to 20 per cent of normal

she admittedly has some for export
in return for more needed supplies.
such as raw materials. notably cot
ton.
She has appreciable quantities of
oats, barley and hops hat can be
spared, as well as some sugar and
coal, and these last two commodi-
ties are felt to be about the most
precious in Europe. In return she
wants wheat flour and cotton. Her
spinning industry is at a standstill
and experts claim that she needs
approximately a hundred thousand
bales of cotton to supply her own
needs in textiles.
The i've supply of beet sugar is
Czecho-Slovakia's big and valuable
asset and gives her a strategic posi-
ton in Europe. The general situa-
ton here is reassuring to the Ameri-
can experts and while there will be
deprivation. they believe that with
a we'll organized control of foods
and close economy there will be no
real suffering this winter.

TRADE REFORMS

LONDON. Sept. 17.-Better pub
lie houses, an improved tone for sa-
looms, is the newly announced policy
of the British liquor trade.
Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall,
a member of parliament, who was
recently elected to the directorate
of one of the leading brewing COM
panies of the kingdom, said that
representatives of all sections of the
trade had drawn up a bill embody-
ing such principles as promotion of
sobriety, restriction of drunkenness,
reduction of the number of licenses
where they are excessive and en-
largement of premises so as to pro-
vide greater opportunities for social
amenities.
Recreation, including reading
rooms, facilities for writing, music
and games, should be provided
Admiral Hall said. The entry into
the trade of those who would set up
and maintain a high social stand
ard should be encouraged to the ex-
clusion of those who might bring
discredit on the Industry"

Goldfield from her Tule ranch after

morning Happy called on District
Attorney Foley long enough to ex-

that the league of nations is a punk
scheme. Happy told the district at

thing as peace in Europe and that
the governments over there will use
the United States to pull their
chestnuts out of the fire." The dis
trict attorney made no defense.
