A DANGER NOT TERRIFYING.

WA AAANOs
AS meteorites ara falling not infre-
quently all through the, year, and
about as often in one region as an
other in all parts Of the earth, it is
obvious that at any moment any one
OF us might be hit by one Of them.
But tho danger Of meeting this I'M
pleasant ending seems to be too small
to The records contain only
a. single case, and that not well au-
thenticated, of a man thus killed in
India a long time ago, and the fail
ure of a ship or Two ever to reach n
port has been ascribed to the same
cause on no authority at all. OF mar
row escapes from such a death con-
corning which there a be no doubt
there have been something less than
a dozen.
Only large m~eteorites, or the pieces
OF those that explode just before they
come to rest, even reach the earth.
The others-the shooting stars" to
be seen YER night-are volatilized
in passing through the upper atmos-
phere and come down only as un-
noticed dust.
In ancient times these stones of
such mysterious origin were viewed
with reverence. and several of them,
when imagination could see in them
something of human or animal shape,
became objects Of worship. The Di-
ana Of the Ephesians and the Venus
Of Cyprus are supposed to have been

at Mecca is another.

CHANCE TO SHOW WISDOM.

A highly commendable impulse
was the one which moved the MEM
bers of the Municipal Art society to
suggest that. before any decision is
made as to what form New York's
war memorial shall take, the opinions
of the returned soldiers should be
sought. The interest in tho matter Of
the men who did the fighting is at
least as great as that Of anybody else,
and, unless they are consulted. not
i~mprobably there will be made, here
as elsewhere-not far away. either
a selection, of a design that for M
reason or another will prove displeas-
ing, or ven distinctly repugnant, to
the World War Veterans.
But though the soldiers certainly
should be consulted. If - soldiers
themselves have more wisdom than
certain officials who could be named
they will express their advice in very
general terms and carefully refrain
both from suggesting actual designs
or from assuming to choose from de-
signs suggested. That 10 no more the

Probably the very greatest service
the soldiers could render as regards

lators.
Well-to-do people have been going
to Bavaria from Prussia, Wuuerttem-
berg and Thur1ngta to buy potatoes,
eggs and fats for which the farmers
charged %exorbitant prices. This
worked a hardship on the poorer
people who could not compete with
them.
Living appears to be cheaper in
Bavaria than elsewhere in Germany.
Butter has been selling there It Ave
marks a pound, compared with 80
marks in Berlin. Eggs are quoted at
IS pfennigs each, while in Berlin they
cost LIS marks apiece. Eggs in the
occupied area have been bringing
from 2 to $50 marks each this winter
but are very scarce at any price.
Meat is also reported as fairly plen-
tiful in Bavaria, although IN all other
states this form Of food is virtually
unpurchasable by h~ouseholders
once or twice each month when the
authorities permit a few ounces to be.
distributed by the card system to the
individuals. Most Of the hotels
throughout Germany continue to
serve meat three o r four days each
week, however. The proprietors say
they obtain this from Holland and
that this does notfviolate the food

STARKv|LLE'S MAYO
STAGES A 'SHO' NUF'
MEXICAN BULL FIGHT

The Mexican bull fighter has moth
ing on Mayor Bridges. In fact, the
Honorable Mayor of Starkville is
seriously thinking of challenging the
champion bull of far away Mexico
FOR a few rounds.
After his experience of Wednesday
afternoon the Mayor is satisfied that
be can best any bull that walks the
lace OF the earth. On this particu-
lar afternoon Mayor Bridges has bus
mess that called him across the field
where Tommy Woodward's prize bull
holds undisputed possession. AL
though beng warned that the animal
was dangerous the Mayor with his
usual lack of "fear and trembling'
started across the field. Accounts
differ as to who started the fight.
Some say that Mr.. Bull mistook the
Honorable Mayor for tall, lanky
enemy of his. Others say that the
Mayor has long cherished an ambi-
tlon to show his ability as a bull
fighter.
Anyway the fight started, and from
the accounts of eye-witnesses it was
"some scrap" 1t lasted several
minutes, with the Mayor and the bull
taking turn about knocking one an
other down. Finally, the combat
ants were separated by witnesses of
the bout, with the Mayor claiming
the victory.
Outside of few bruises, stiffness
and torn clothes Mayor Bridges is
'ing about his business with a self
satisfied expression. The News has
been unable to get an interview with
the bull.
Later Developments
The News understands that Mr.
Woodward has consulted some of the
best legal talent in the city, in re-
gard to bringing suit against Mayor
Bridges for an alleged unwarranted
attack upon his bull.

had been advertised beforehand and
there were quite a number of "sons

against the tasks the Getty fathers"
had set for them. A few were given
reductions. the others were not
most everyone though was satisfied.
The city needs the money to keep
going and make improvements that
are badly needed and the only way
to do it is to raise taxes. The small
amounts made in raises are not go
ing to break anyone and everyone
SHOULD be satisfied. The fixing of
the tax rate will probably come up
at the regular meeting next Tuesday
night.
