Here and There.

Among the centennial celebrations
which occur this year is that of the brit
of Jennie Lind, first operate singer OIL
note to appear in the new country Of
America. She was born October s
1920, In Stockholm. Her appearance In
America was in 1850, and in this centen
NAL it is that appearance which counts
so far as America is concerned. The
program which she sang on her first
appearance is being reproduced In New
York this year, Frids Hempel taking the
part sung by "the Swedish nightingale
in gown worn by that singer. She
was toured by that eccentric Snowman,
p. T. Bsrnum, and he received fully as
much glory as did the diva. Being the
first human bird to visit rs, she is sur
rounded by halo Of romance, differen'
from later singers, and is one of 1.-THE
Angels Ever Bright and Fair" of which
she sung; but IL seems she was 81
cranky" as any other opera singer, and
Cancelled her contract whenever the
fancy seized her; but she says in a let
ter to friend, she parted smicably'
with Barnum.

1t seems incubators are to be used to
raise new kind of baby-that Of the
oyster. As everybody knows the oyster
crop grows smaller each year until IL has
arrived In the luxury class, and this
effort Is being made to increase the size
Of the crop. Experiments in raising
oysters by the incubator method have
been conducted In a laboratory 10 East
Ssyville, Long Island, for some time by
W. F. Wells, biologist, and he now has
thousands Of baby oysters sitting around
on the half shell, and it Is thought the
experiment Is success.
Many people think there are no dia-
mond mines In the United States, but
there are. There is one In Arkansas,
discovered In 1905, from which Eve thou
sand diamonds have been taken. One
of them weighed eighteen and three
fourths karats. 1t was sold for one hun
dred dollars karat. This sounds rich,
but the owners say the mine has never
paid. They are now putting In machin-
cry to wash the earth in an effort to find
out whether they are to lose the saddle
or win the horse.
John and Frances Enron Of Chicago
tax the cake Is the most married, most
divorced, most quarrelsome and most
forgiving couple on record. They began
getting married and lighting fifteen
years ago. Since that time they have
been divorced twice, married thrice and
separated ten times. These facts were
brought out before Judge Trude in the
Chicago Court Of Domestic Relations
last week, when Mr.. and Mrs. Enron for
gave and forgot for the thirteenth time
and began all over again.
Russian women desiring TO leave that
unhappy country have hit upon . device
of hiring Finnish men to marry them.
The plan works. The Finnish men sp-
pear willing to marry almost any kind
Of Russian woman for a compensation
The trouble ensues when the women
thus freed refuse to part With their
pseudo husbands.
The record for divorces decresd is
held by the Circuit Court In Detroit, in
hundred and forty-five unoontested |
cases. On an average each one of these |
cases occupied ninety-six seconds. In |
four days the Judge Of the court heard |
294 cases and granted 2S0 DEGREES.
There are some people In Massachu- |
sets who evidently believe In Carlo |
Ponzi; at any rate he received two votes
for state treasurer 10 the primaries last |
week. They evidently thought the
states money could be doubled every |
ninety days If they had Q man of bis |
callbre In the Office.

Therefore, cook your milk. Keep

can follow steers without much dam

chance to keep healthy. Keep them

HOW TO SAVE EUROPE
FROM BIOL SHEvISM
French and English Will Probably
Decide on Blockade and
Defensive Line.
BY Associated Press 20 Every Evening

Hythe, England, Aug. o.-How to
save western Europe from Bolshcvism was
the burden of the discussion NJ this morn
ings conference here between Premiers
Lloyd George and Millerand, and al
though the final decision was still pending
this afternoon the chief weapons will
probably be n blockade and the establish
ment of defensive line in Poland.
IL il stated that the allies, although
loath to admit il. now feel there is little
hope Of saving Warsaw, and that the
question Of Poland IL no longer the sole
issue. the main problem confronting the
premers is the defense OF western Europe.
In British and French circles it is de-
clared that the intentions of the Bolshe-
wiki regarding Poland are bccon ing
clearer ever hour, the prevailing impress
sion being that the Soviet government
hopes firmly To establish Bolshevism
at the doors Of the western powers,
A continuation of the conference this
afternoon rs said to have been ncccssitat-
ed through the failure of the two pre-
miers to agree on the situation. Premier
Millerand is firm in urging the French
policy which includes the blockade and
the defensive measures already indicated
II is stated that Premier Lloyd George
although not opposed 10 a blockade. is
reluctant TO sever definitely all negotla
tions with Russia and il is belieed that

emissaries will remain in London for the
time being.
