Vicious Fur-BearinQ Animals.

So marked is the tendency Of many
fur-bcaring animals to wholesale de-
struction of life that the work Of the
trappers who catch them and kill them
for their pelts doubtless saves a far
greater number of animals than II
Stays. One marten is likely to kill
hundreds of harmless creatures in a
single year.
II multitude of birds and small
beasts OF the forests and the fields
could have their will they would I'M
questiOnably urge the trappers TO
greater eXcrtions. They would wish
the present demand for furs stimulnt-
ed to even more imperative cagerness
to wear the skins of ferOcious little
killers. And big ones, too, for leOpards
and civet cats have their place in the
:Gr trnde.-EXchange.

HIGH WATER RECEDING

For the past few days the high wat
ers have been reeeding slowly, not only
in the Grand and Roaring Fork rivers,
but also in tributary streams.
The Grand river has fallen consider
ably the past two days and it is now
almo,it ten inches lower than it was
the first of this week. While it is al
most certain that the crest of the h Ugh
water has not been reached, the rise
which was due to the low snow is now
over, and probably a week or ten DAYS
will clapse before the high snow will
have melted enough to swell the
streams very much over their present
depths This is season, quite unlike
the majority, and therefore it is diff
cult to predict, with any degree of GER
tainty, the future conduct of .he
streams hut it is almost certain that
the high water has not vet been reach

ALL HAVE THEIR UMBRELLAS
Rainy Days by No Means Times Of
Terror for the Dweliers In
Old Nippon.

A rainy day in Japanl Mountains
half disappearing in wraiths Of mist
like the landscapes In old kakemono
scrolls; gray tiled roofs transformed
to glossy black by slanting sheets Of
rain; coolies in bristling straw rain
coats, and everywhere great oiled pa
per umbrellas. Little Japanese women
trip along daintily on their wooden
clogs, oblivious to the muddy rivers
under foot, totally eclipsed under their
red, blue, green, yellow or black um-
brellas. Shop apprentices and errand
boys hurry along with umbrellas deco
rated with great black characters ip-
dicating the name q the arm Il their
trade. Out in Asakusa, Tokyo's popu-
lar quarter, huge red umbrellas protect
the old women who sell beans to feed
the doves that dwell in the caves Of
the Temple of the Morning Grasses.
At the entrance to every house q
whole row of open umbrellas are dry
ing. No two paper umbrellas are alike
In japan, perhaps because they are all
made by hand-bamboo ribs, rattan
handles, and the patterns formed by
different layers of colored papers. The
umbrella, writes Elsie #. We'll in Asia
Magazine, is as necessary to the jap
anese actor or dancer as his fan. In
the old prints the umbrella appears
constantly as harmonious part Of the
design. The geisha have umbrellas ap-
propriate for wistaria season and
cherry viewing, for winter and sum-
mer. An umbrella may even be the
theme of poetry, as it was for the jap
anese poet who sang: "ln the spring
rain an umbrella passes by on which
petals are softly falling, falling Yet
the Japanese have been able to find
something picturesque in our wire
framed umbrellas of uniform black I;
they call them bat WINGS

NOT TROUBLED BY JEALOUSY
Social and Domestic Customs Among
the Eskimos Are Simple and Eas-
lily Arranged.

An American missionary Is the au-
thority for the following description
of social and domestic customs that
prevail In a certain part of the arctic
regions: If q woman is childless, she
often asks her husband to Select an
other wife, so that the home may be
blessed with children. She has no
Jealousy toward her rival, for her hus-
band generally treats both with equal
respect. The system of polygamy
works both ways, for some EskimOs
adhere to the single standard. In q
tribe where there are more men than
women, n woman may often be al
lowed second husband, provided she
has the approval of her first husband,
and her love for some unmarried man
does not necessarily lessen her re
gard for her husband, who may be old
or weak. and hence poor provider.
A younger man may prove real as
set to the family. Even if 1t is case
of simple infatuation, no deception is
practiced. The Eskimo woman reveals
her feelings to her husband. who, II
the lover is worthy, rarely refuses his
consent for his wife to go away with
this rival for certain length of time.
If the man happens to have wife of
his own, the abandoned husband will
often propose to his wife that she ar
range matters with the wife of her
lover, so there will be a mutual ex-
change of spouses for time.

DRY AMEND
MENT UNCONSTITUTIONAL

when the United States supreme court
decided that ratification of constitu-
tional amendment is not subject to SUD-
mission to a popular referendum.
Ratification by any state legislature
of the eighteenth amendment estab-
fishing national prohibition cannot be
revoked by vote of the people upon
submission of the legislatures action
to referendum, the court holds, for
ratification is the function of no
agency but the legislature.
The Ohio legislature ratified the pro-
hibition amendment and as it was the
thirty sixth state to ratify the feder-
al secretary of state proclaimed the
amendment adopted by the requisite
three-fourths of the states.
Subsequently Ohio in a referendum
of the question voted against ratifica-
ton of the amendment Under the
decision of the supreme court the Ohio
referendum was unconstitutional and
therefore without validity, so ratifica-
ton by the Ohio legislature stands
valid as of the date the proclamation
was issued
The decision also removes what
mi pht have been an obstacle to ratifi-
cation of the nineteenth amendment
enfrarchising women before the presi-
Dental election. The Ohio legislature
ratified the suffrage amendment but
referendum was being sought and 1t
was in reversing the Ohio supreme
courts dismissal of injunction proceed
inps against such referendum that the
United States supreme court rendered
is opinion today.
There will be no referendum now on
the suffrage, prohibition or other con
stitutional amendments in Ohio or any
other state. With Ohio thirty five
states have ratified the suffrage am
endment and only one more state IS
needed North Carolina is expected to
furnish the thirty sixth vote when ITS
legislature meets in July.
The supreme court did not decide the
question of the constitutionahty of the
prohibition amendment raised by New
Jersey and Rhode Island and this de-
cision is now looked for next Monday.
The contention, however, that the
Ohio referendum invalidated the ONO
legislature s ratification, and that rat
ification by eleven other states won'd
not be valid unless upheld by popular
referendum, constituted a major feat
IRE of the attack on the amendment on
the arguments before the supreme
court.
The determination of the method OF
rat fication is the exercise of nation
al power specifically granted by 'he
constitution said the court today
"That power is conferred upon con
sress and is limited to the two methods
of action of the legislatures of three
fourths of the states or conventions
in a like number of states.
