SHIFT WILD ANIMAL TRADE.
Zoe Attractions Are No Longer Pur-
chased from Germany.

The wild animal trade of the world the
business OF supplying wild animals for
ZOOS and circrses,-is nov undergoing
complete revolution, according to the re-
port of Madison Grant, chairmans of the
executive committee OF the New York
Geological socity, at the annual meeting
OF the society recently He said the war
had completely destroyed several large col
lections of animals in Europe, and others
beyond the fighting zones were reduced 90
to 90 per cent
Supplying wild animals for ZOOS and
circuses, which was once entirely in the
hands OF the Germans, is now passing to
English Dealers. said Mr.. Grant. "The
Germans have lost their colonies and
sources of supply and no longer have Gus
toners in the allied nations. An English
company, which has taken over the trade,
has already supply of rare wild animals
for as at Pretoria, South Africa, waiting
for shipment Fortunately, the embargo
on imports OF wild animals has been
raised. and with the resumption of ship
ments the gaps in our collections will
soon be filled New York Post

CAVE ART Clue
TO LOST RACE
SMITHSONIAN EXPLORERS IN
CAvERNS WHERE RECORDS
ARE PAINTED.
(By Edward M. Thierry.)

Oudtshoorn, Cape Proyince-Cave
men of bygone ages have left the i'm
print here of a curious savage art that
has long been the subject of scientific
research.
The history of the disappearing tribe
of Bushmen-South African pigmies
now practically extinct-is wooven
around drawings in caves eighteen
miles from Oudstshoorn.
Part of the Smithsonian African ex-
petition went through here on the
way to Port Elizabeth. Oudtshoorn is
only 3s7 miles from Cape Town, but
it took more than % hours for an
asthmatic railway engine to bring us
here.
The Cango Caves, considered the
finest stalactite caverns in the world,
still contain many examples of Bush
men art, although numerous samples
have been removed to enrich museums.
Crude, though faithful, pictures Of
animals and men were drawn ages ago
by the dwarf Bushmen on the walls of
the caves. In most cases natural col
ors have been applied. The drawings
have been used by scientists in an at
tempt to trace back the origin Of the
disappearing race, which is entirely
distinct from any other in Africa.
The Cango Caves, discovered in 1880,
are in the limestone base of the
Zwarthberg mountains.
The caves have been explored for
two miles into the mountains, but they
appear to extend much further.
Electric torches cannot fully illumin-
ate the large caverns and one has to
pay out magnesium ribbon in order
to provide a fiery guide back to the
entrance.

Perspirins Customers Buy 1000 Over
coats.

Selling 1000 winter overcoats to
Palm Beached and straw hated men
to early September might sound like
trying to rush" the frigid season a
little, but the Hub, of Baltimore. Md,
scored such a success with the idea
that the entire 1000 overcoats were dis
posed OF within three days-and all
through newspaper advertisements al
most unusual as the pre- season
sale itself.
1.-The sale really wasn't planned at
ALL" says Joseph Katz. advertising
manager of the Hub. To be perfectly
frank with you, when we bought these
1000 overcoats last February, our
original idea was to hold them till the
winter OF 1919. At that time the mar
ket skies were darkening and every
live retailer was looking to his oars.
Which reminds me that it might not
be anniss to get away from the sub
ject moment in these days of indis-
criminate accusations of profiteering.
and remind the dear public that If it
wasn't for this far-sightedness on the
part OF many retailers many things
would be selling for much more than
they are now.
But to get back to the overcoat
sale, our second thought was What
stunt it would be to pull off an
overcoat sale in hot weather. We
had some faith in the outcome-but
may as well admit we were not as
cocl,-sure about it as we would have
been about a sale of women's fur
coats. The latter case had been tried
before: it was an institution, and,
then. too, women had the bargain in
stinct more keenly developed than
men.
I'VE went ahead. The first adver-
tisement was run day ahead of the
big one giving the details. 1t simply
carried the words:
WOULD YOU BUY YOUR
OyERCOAT NOW IF WE SAVED
YOU MONEY THE HUB.
That's all; no price, no argument.
1.-The next day the page ad appeared.
1t occurred to me it would be effective
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-12-01
Edited by
Mansfield r. HOuSo

to compare the keen bargain instinct
of women with the mans indifference
to ways of saving money by spending
it, and SO the ad began:
A woman will buy fur coat in
August because she can save money.
Is man made of the same stuff?
Then the advertisement continued:
1000 WINTER OvERCOATS
Bought in February and Put Away
as an Investment, Will Go on Sale
at $3.50.
Anybody is entitled to change his
mind. Last February we bought a
thousand overcoats with the idea of
putting them away; clothes were
going up; looked like extra money for
US. They did go up-but we've
changed our mind about holding
them. There was a chance to pull off
a big stunt to make a thousand new
friends for the store. So here we are
with a January sale o. overcoats in
September: sale of winter over
coats of known worth-a sale that
will save the men of this town a lot
of money. When we tell you that
WE'D PAY AS MUCH AT
WHOLESALE TODAY
you know there's a good reason why
you should get your winter overcoat
several months ahead of time.
The 1000 overcoats We're gone in
three days. We don't know how many
more we could have sold il we had
had them. There were many calls for
days after the sale ended.

Starting in the retail milk bust
ness fourteen years ago at the age OF
so, after spending twenty-five years
in butcher shops as a meat cutter,
Edward D. Snyder, of Hazleton, Pa.
has attained such degree of success
that he has been given the title of the

the state to study his methods.
His recipe is brief and to the point:
Keep your wagons, cans, bottles and

milk sold, and don't keep your light
under a bushel basket. but tell the
public the precautions you take for
their safety and health.''
While the above is Mr.. Snyder's

VON BERNHARDI HELPED TO
 HUMlLlATE PARIS IN 1871

(From the New York Tribune)
 When Germany was the victor over France in the Franco Prussian war Bismarck insisted that, as one of the terms of peace, the triumphant German troops should march through Paris. Thiers, representing France in the peace negotiations, fought his hardest to save the capital from the crowning modification of this pageant of the victorious enemy. The discussion on this point took 10 times longer than the negotiations over any other proviso. But Bismarck was unyielding. His aim all through was to make France drink the cup of humiliation to the last bitter dregs.
 The triumphal procession vas headed by Lieutenant won Bernhardi, since be- come General von Berhardi, and the most notorious exponent of German barbarism. He had been ordered to ride ahead with a small detachment of Hussars to clear the way for the main body of troops. After passing through the Arc de Triomphe and riding down the Avenue des Champs Elysses and through the Champs Elysses he was confronted by the great crowd that had gathered in the Place de la Con- corde and was packed so closely that there seemed no room for the small advance guard of the enemy.
 Bernhardi commanded his men to
