Successful Woman Trapper.

Trapping predatory animals Is scarcely the kind of occupation in which a woman might be expected to distinguish herself, even with the great extension of the range of feminine ac- tivities to which we have been accus- toned lately. Mrs. Ada Tingley of Ida ho, is reported, however. by the North western division of the United States biological survey. to be so successful in this employment that her male IT. vals are finding it hard to keep up with her records. Her victims are mainly coyotes, bobcats, wolves, lynxes and mountain lions. At 8 80 every morn ing Mrs. Tingley mounts her cayuse and rides off to her traps, of which she runs six lines. of 50 each. She us- es fish bait prepared by a secret formula. On occasion she can use .32 caliber rifle with almost perfect accuracy.

KNOWS NO NORTH OR SOUTH
Southern Doughboy Who Fought In France Is Strong for the AppeIIa-
 tion 'Yank."

The monicker. Tank. is going to stick. Just read what this fellow, who was born south of Mason and Dixon's line, writes:
 "I come from a line of rebels who boast that they did not surrender. Until was quite a husky chap be- lieved that d. Yankee was one word and Republican it's synonym, and knew the rebel yell' as a varsity boy knows his college yell. Before the war I wore a slouch hat. rode horseback and shot squirrels. I still say cawn bread, think Dixie should be our national air, that Robert E. Lee was the worlds greatest general. and Jefferson Davis, suh, the worlds great est statesman.
 But, speaking for myself and a not overly small bunch of fellow 'reb- els, l am exactly satisfied with the honest, hard-fisted, frm-jawed and seemingly inevitable nickname of Tank, and say, with one of the papers back home:
 "Iet Tank be the official battle name of our boys, and the rebel yell" their official battle cry"

Cutting the Nations Tire Bill.

Forty makes of motor tires were submitted to the bureau of standards by the office of the quartermaster gen. eral." writes Thomas H. Uzzell in Ev- erybody's. "They were given labora- tory durability runs after which they were autopsied by the rubber special ists. Their carcasses' were cut up and the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched. The results were discouraging. Even the best of them seemed to suffer from improper 'toughening.'
 "So into their little rubber-mill went the experts, with notes furnished them by the tire manufacturers, and pro- ceeded to make up some tire rubber which had the proper degree of tough ness. They succeeded. They passed out the word: The trouble is that you makers are not sitting your zinc oxid before mixing 1t with the rubber con- pound
 "The makers began to sift Better tires resulted. Some 30,0O0,0OO were saved to the government. And today you are enjoying cut in your tire bill by getting better rires-a result of that experiment with zinc oxid."

Shamrock Loses
 to Yankee Rival

SANDY HOOK, N. J.-(Tues- day)-The Americas cup, en- blem of the yachting supremacy of the world, will not travel back across the ocean to Great Britain, from whence it was wrested 50 years ago, for another year at least.
 Sir Thomas Tipton's fourth at- tempt within 20 years to lift the cup ended in failure today when Resolute, the American defender, defeated Shamrock ", in the final and deciding race by a safe margin. Each yacht already had two victories to her credit, and a win for either today meant the cup.

CAR JUST KEPT ON MOVING
Lucky for Sleeping Occupants That the Road Had Been Cut Up by
 Heavy Wagon.

l recall a funny motoring incident that might have turned out decidedly otherwise if 1t had not been for . mere chance, writes a correspondent. II occurred in the country during the early spring.
 A young fellow and his sister were returning In the wee small hours from a dance in neighboring town. He was driving fivver. They were both very tired, and finally they both dropped of to sleep.
 It so happened that late the day be- fore heavy farm wagon had passed that way, leaving deep ruts in the mud. and during the evening these had froz- en solid. The car got into these ruts and ran along them with no one guid. ed several corners and finally turned into a farmyard and went into the barn.
 The fliv turned the corners and fol- lowed the tracks into the yard. It was going straight on and would have smashed into the barn door had not the girl walked In time to see the build ing looming up just in front of them. Realizing the situation immediately, she jammed on the brake and stopped door.
 am assured that this is a perfectly true story.

Put the Numbers Backi

How are you going to tell a horse
without score card. or a football
player If he isn't tagged? Answer
1t isn't being done this year.
Football coaches are shooting up
the wrong alley when they decline
to put numbers on the players so
the spectators can tell who's who and
what's what.
About the only men you can pick
out are the quarterbacks. and you
couldn't identify them unless they
were rafting off signals.
Coaches this year got together and
decided it was bum stuff to put
numbers on the boys from a strate-
gic standpoint.
They argued that the enemy could
pick out the stars and then knock
'em for row of goals--nct the kind
that count on the grid.
But the public is bowling some
thing awful. 1t can't tell who's car
fying TIE ball or anything. Sense of
direction is about all the onlooKers
can be sure of.
In the recent Illinois-Michigan
game even the newspapers credited
the wrong Iliini player with making
the winning touchdown.
Football is dependent upon the
public for support and coaches are
spelling things with the bank" sys-
| tenn.
Such a rumpus has been kicked up
that the Army and Navy teams have
agreed to wear numbers in the big
blue ribbon battle at New York on
| Nov 27.

Baseball is a pretty big institu-
ton.
1t is bigger than any one man.
1t is broader than the major leagues
with its dilatory National Commis-
sion.
The minor leagues are going to
have something to say and is
likely to prove a pretty big say be-
fore they get through.
Plans of coercion OF the eleven
big league clubs have lost their
kick, due partly 70 the silence Of
Ban johnson and his Loyal Five
plus the growing powers of the
minors.
According to President William
veeck, of the Chicago Cubs. more
than fifty minor league presidents
have endorsed the Lasker idea for
q new baseball body to govern both
major and minor leagues.
But this sudden change OF spirit
to recast their lot again with the
major leagues means that they
would want something to say as to
who these "notabies'' would be who
should sit on the throne.
1t is pretty certain that they'd
want men who understood baseball
and that they would demand fail
