An Elephants s Trunk

Carl Akeley. of the American Museum of natural history, describes an ele- plants trunk as follows in the Worlds work.
 In many other ways besides its smell ing ability, the elephants trunk is the most extraordinary part of this most extraordinary animal A mans arm has a more or less universal joint at at the shoulder. The elephants trunk is absolutely flevible at every point. It can turn in any direction and in whatever position it is, and has tre- mendous strength. There is no bone in it. of course, but it is con- structed of interwoven muscle and sinew so tough that one can hardly cut it with a knife. An elephant can shoot stream of water out of it that would put cut fire; lift tree trunk weighing s so- and throw it easily; or or it is delicate enough to pull blade of grass with. He drinks with it, feeds himself with it, smells with it, works vith it, and at times fights with it. Inc.uentally mouse that endeav- ored to frightan an elephant by the tra- ditional nursery rhyme method of run ming up his trunk would be blown into the next county. There is nothing else like an elephants trunk on earth. Labor disputes in the United States during 1919 affected more than 4,oOO,W0 workers,

THE MUSICAL PLAY The Operetta, Musical Comedy and Musical
 ExtraVanganZa
 MRS. B. +.
ExtravanganZa By MRS, H, F. WILKINSON

The musical standard of the operetta and musical comedy was raised when a virtuous composer like Efrem Zimfalist wrote the musical score for "Honeydew.
 And now comes Florenz Ziegfield, Jr, announcing an impending production of a musical version or Richard Harding Davis play Soldiers of Fortune which is to carry a score by Mischa Elman.
 Some time ago Fritz Kreisler wrote the score for Apple Blossoms" No doubt these artists are attracted by im- mense royalties That is beside the point so far as we are concerned. If, in the process, they manage to pull musical comedy up to a higher standard they will have won our everlasting grat- itude.
 We owe much to Raskt and Reinhardt who with their brilliant stage pictures and wonderful colof schemes have so educated the public they will no longer tolerate the old style settings with their strong lights and crude colors.
 Let Us hope that the entrance of these artist composers into the field of mu- sical comedy may be as beneficial. Here tofore,. the voice of the woman singer was the qualification the managers cared least about.
 Is she good looking? Can she dance?- was the question.
 A small ankle counted more than a good voice But-Atance-io ,000solosn Kreisler, Zim Balist and Elman write the scores, we may look for the restor- ation of the voice. We may also be sure of large well-trailed Nrchestres.
 Efrem zimbalist has written most melodious and pleasing score to the operetta 'Honeydew." The Lro- gramme announces it, as play with music" The music should be spelled with big M. It is a delight to the ear. conspicuous for absence of jazz. .du ,h of it is waltz rythm, and there are many charming, catchy melodies tfat somehow finger in the memory.
 The play is So insignificant one won ders how the musician had any :nspir- ation. It must have come from within.
 Henry Honeydew finds himself with the same mother-in law, no matter whom he marries! Honeydew feels like taking the advice of the man who married for money, namely: ."Go 10 a mill Get heavy millstone.

GERMANS PROTEST
Want to Continue the Manufacture of
 Diesel Motors
By Associated Press

k Berlin, October 25-The alleged in- tention of the council of ambassadors to confiscate high-speed Diesel motors in Germany, whether they are in fin-
 shed state and in use or in the process of construction, is to be made the sub ject of a diplomatic inquiry.
 This action follows the recent visit of an entente commission to the big Augsburg industrial plant for the pur- pose of requisitioning motors which are subsequently, to be dismantled or de- stroyed on the ground that they are suitable for submarines and therefore war material. A message from Munich stated that workers on these motors were coming to Berlin to protest against seizure of the Diesel stationary motors not usable for U-boat purposes.
 A semi-official statement says that the inhibition of the manufacture of the motors used for legitimate purpose would mean a heavy loss to German in- dustry and result in large number of workers being out of employment.

of Swedish workers out of employment. The great mills at Norrkoping and Boras have been working only four days weekly since August and they are now preparing a general dismissal of their employees.
 High wages, and the operation of the eight-hour day which has been in force here for year, are blamed in some quarters for this state of affairs.
 Swedish manufacturers, especially of iron and steel are no longer able to compete with the foreign-made articles For time plants have been accumula- ting stocks, but signs abound that this has reached it's limits. A strike in the building trade has lasted for nearly a year and the housing problem has be- come so acute that to rent a flat in Stockholm or any of the big Swedish centers is well night impossible.
 With all this. the workers continue agitating for still higher wages and shorter hours. The elections last Sep tember resulted in disapproval of the regime and the present socialist gov ernment is said to be anxious to re- linquish office.

Doctor Tells How to Strengthen
 Eyesight 90 Per Cent in One
 Weeks Time in Many Instances

troubles of many descriptions may be won derfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Bon opto tablets Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of glass of water and allow to dis solve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly disap- pear If your eyes are bothering you even little, take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time
 NOTE: Another prominent physician to whom the above article was submitted. said :: "Bon-Opto is very remarkable remedy Its constituent ingredients are we'll known to eminent eye specialists and widely pre- scribed by them. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one weeks time in many instances or refund the money.
