The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-11-20

~ VERY NIGHT at about II 40 that
II aged and decrepit spouse Tor
IL rather "souse') of the very YER
satite society lady sallies forth to get
some ice cream. Well, Nosey saw him
try to induce stunning little girl IN
fox furs to accompany him 10 the ICE
cream parlor Nosey did not hear what
he said, but his invitation must have
stated something about things other than
ice cream because the little lady welded
her umbrella and forced the old gent to
beat hasty retreat back to his Grand
Blvd. residence. without the ice cream.
Nosey found out yesterday that he told
his wife that he slipped and fell on 37th
St Maybe he did fall" They say that
they all "fallp sooner or later. but the
old gent seems to fall every night
that he goes out for ice CREAM.
NTOW and then Nosey looks into
N folks faces to see il he can find
any character there. He saw
some character on Grand Blvd. last
week while between 35th and 37th SITS.
on the west side OF the block Bad
character IS what he saw. It was just
the faces OF most UlaalpdlTd 9Ot9 wiz
froic and reyel all night long and SLEEP
during the golden hours OF the day
Nosey sees them every night easing
along the street as they cautiously leave
those houses OF i'll or doubtful repute
that the police authorities have been
closing one eye to as they pass. Pale
painted, powdered women with blank
brazen stares on their faces and cold
CLASSY eyes that peer at you as II from
a mask. Nosey knows that their souls
are dead. Trailing along with them are
their paramours, escorting them with
dog-like fidelity. You have seen the
paramours with their eye rims all led
cheeks pale. powdered and sunken and
the inevitable lines Of dissipation drawn
all over their countenances. Stand on
Grand Blvd. any evening between 7:3O
and 6 and see human nature as Nosey
sees 1t.

- AVE Me- MURDER POLICE!

@ AVE Me- AlURDERl POLICE!
- were the cries that greeted Nosey
~ as he turned the corner OF Wabash
and 37th St Nosey thought that a
million morons had broken loose but
it turned cut to be only a gold tooth"
holdup. Two husky burglars had just
held up one Of the State Street "strol-
lers' and in her freight her gold set OF
teeth Chartered out The burglars
asked her where she had such a set Of
teeth made and she had told them at
those gold teeth dentists OF painless
fame at 35th and State St. The bur
glars pushed her gold" teeth back into
her mouth and told they were no good
Ito them as they wanted real gold. They
took the poor girls sweater and pocket
book containing 20 cents and a tele-
phone slug and left her to call for help
which she did. Nosey thinks he will
invest $1,000 in a set OF those teeth.
Ii you can't eat with them they at least
make the burglars leave you alone.

In the ordinary sense, no part Of

ONE THING THEY OVERLOOKED
British Military Authorities Forgot tho
Humble Printer in Desire to Pre-
serve War Secrets.

The marquis of Harrington tells an
episode from the war days when the
spy scare was at It's height. according
to n writer in the Halifax Chronicle
Certain confidential information that
the military authorizes wanted to Keep
absolutely secret vas sent round by
trusted cOuricrS in locked dispatch
boxes, with elaborate precautions Of
signing and countcrSi@ning and check
Ing every stage. No one below the
rank OF major general was entrusted
with the knowledge and even these
were bound by tremendous oaths Of
secrecy.
After time it was found that these
weighty documents. which were circu-
lated in printed form, were being set
up by ordinary printers who were un-
der no obligation to preserve secrecy,
and, in fact, took no precautions what
ever against leakage. However, moth
ing did leak out, but the military man
darinS, it is said, Shuddorcd when they
realized the risks that had been run.

His Ambition.

Ten-ycar-old Ted made his first long
visit to tile country He was much
impressed with the returns of farming
but not with the work which brought
the returns. He studied the occupa.
ton Of farming diligently in order to
see what part Of 1t was easiest. And
one day lie discovered what he
thought was
Then he went to his mother. II nl-
ways said that / would be a farmer

BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE
Otherwise In Future Wars They Will
Be Quickly Wiped Out IL "Spot.
ted" From Above.

While the war was in progress new
military inventions and improvements
were for obvious reasons kept secret
in America. Now, however, they are
beginning to leak out.
For example, there is new 14inch
gun, which is called "pridc of the
army" All big guns in future will
be made mobile Con rails or drawn by
gasoline tractors), because otherwise
they would invite their own dcstruc-
ton. With the help Of 'spotting" air
planes they might be quickly wiped
out.
The guns which now defend Amer
lean seacoast forts are stationary, and
the big ones Of no larger cnlibcr than
IL inches. They are to be replaced
by 14-inch rifles on mobile mounts, and
1t Is manifest the plans Of the fortif-
cations will have to be altered.
Newest American battleships carry
14-inch guns, which have bcch deemed
the most effective weapons OF their
type in the world. Some OF them did
duty on land in France toward the
end Of the war. But this new rifle In

Poor Packing Causes Waste.

Few persons considering the cost OF
living realize that more than ST00,0OO.-
600 is added to The cost Of their food
clothing and other necessities each
year because of the waste caused by
damage, unScicntiiic loading and the
tremendous cost Of packing these
commodities The railroads and the
shippers realize it, as shown by their
conducting n campaign to reduce to
the minimum the waste through dam
age, and to utilize to tho utmost the
capacity Of freight cars. which are
hauled half empty
These are some Of the items which
enter into this waste cStmatc-dam-
age and theft $100,0O0,OOO; wasted
lumbc" used only once in packing
cases, $2I0,0O0,000; empty car space,
$209000,O0O; and the staggering cost
to the railroads of hauling half empty
cars more than G.000,000031 miles,
$l57 100000. 1t is estimated that from
10 to % per cent Of the cost Of food
stulfS goes to pay for the crates
which are thrown away.

When He Died, He Died All over.

"Doggone" said Jesse Eschbach
chief examiner for the state board OF

in his mail. "IIcrc is one"
The letter told Of man who had
paid his dog tax TO the township as
SCISSOR and the ungratcful cur had gone
and died. The dog died before the as.
SCISSOR had turned in his books to the
county assessor and the inquirer
wished to know whether there was any
way to get back the dog tax.

place Of the great American sardine
industry
The experiment OF converting the
small herring into the canned sardine

BID RaiIroaders Hobby.

Carl r. Gray, tho new president Of
the Union Pacific system, has one
hobby-that is his family I'm which
he takes the greatest interest and
pride. "Whcn his two boys, who are
now at college, Scre attending pre-
paratory school at Baltimore" says J..
G. Donlcy, Ir., in Forbes Magazine,
"he never missed baseball or foot
ball game in which the school team
participated unless he was away from
home. And he knew every boy on the
teams by his first name. One OF his
greatest delights was to get out on
the baseball field on q summer evening
and bat flies to his boys. When not
on the road or In his office, he spends

DOGS ASSIST LONDON POLICE
Well-Trained Animals Have Been
Found Of Great Help in Appre.
hension of Criminals.

Ihe present wave OF crime has given
an impetus In Great Britain to the
training of dogs for police purposes.
Police dogs were used to assist in
bringing the breaker of laws to Justice
before the word police was ever known.
In older days bloodhounds were used
on the borders of Scotland in certain
districts infested by murderers and
robbers, and n tax was laid on the in
hnbitants for maintaining them; also
there was law III Scotland that who
ever denied entrance to one of these
dogs should be treated as an accessory
to the crime.
The training of these dogs calls for
a large amount of patience, intelligence
and resource, far removed from the old
idea of dog breaking, which was usual
ly to beat the animal merclessly into
the observance of Il few set rules.
1t is step by step in his daily lessons
that dog gradually becomes Il track
er Of criminals by their scent, pursues
escaping prisoners, discovers missing
people, or finds suspected ones in con
cealment.
lie learns fcarlcSSly TO seize and pull
down any nggrcSSOr, whether his mas
ter or himself be attacked. and to do 1t
with the least possible damage, ccaS-
ing ut once when the enemy gives in.
The popular conception of the police
dog is Il wild, savage brute. which prob
ably accounts for the nntpathy To his
use displayed in some quarters, and it
is well that the public should realize
that the properly trained dog is ut al
times perfectly under control.

AirpIanes viii Aid Minlno.

1t Is predicted that the airplnne and
the dirgiblc will prove great slim
ulus to the mining industry in pre-
scnting means OF getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time inacccs-
Sblc. There are many such places
known to exist but the cost OF build
ing roadway to them would be so
great as to be prohibitivc. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by q report made
by Doctor Lyon. supervisor Of the
mining stations for the United States
bureau of mines. BY this means Il
regular communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means.
1t Is also suggested that the same
means might be of great value for
getting rescue apparatus to the scene
Of mining disasters.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the Sightless to Commute
With Outside World.

One of the many experiments OF the
Royal Drawing society has been to
teach people to draw by touch. The
pupil is bindfoldcd ana feels simple
shape, like hammer Of n spade, and
draws 1t with his eyes open. An ad-
ranccd puDil has drawn the head OF Il
classical bust and the mask Of Bee
thoven.
These experiments fired Mr.. G. B.
Albeit, the director OF the society, with
the idea OF drawing by the blind. He
has devised n medium which looks like
the frosted stuff OH matchbox made
liquid, by which the draughtsman can
follow Ey touch what he has drawn
and correct or add TO his work. So far
there have been no experiments with n
blind pupil.
Mr.. Albeit does not claim for It more
than that blind man can draw the
plan or design Of something he
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to go into
ecstasics over the unfolding shapes Of
a plant, and the drawing of these
shapes. known to him by touch would
undoubtedly give him form Of es-
thetic pleasure. In any case, it would
increase his means OF communicating
with the outside world
a great boon, If tile method is Drac-
ticabe, would be that 1T would enable
