JUNGLE MONARCH "BlG GAME"
Tiger Can Always Be Relied On to
Furnish Sport for the Most Ad-
vcnturous Hunter.

The tiger Is one variety of game
which Is in no danger of extermina-
ton. Tigers have been hunted for
,'enturies. They furnished sport to
The ancient Romans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators and
In the open field. Before that, they
were the game of great Egyptian mon
archs. 1t is doubtful whether primi-
tive man was able to kill the tiger at
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
game for the wealthy sportsmen who
hunt them with the great double-bar-
eled English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crowd of heaters u.s.
ially assists at the sport, and drives
he tiger into the open, though occa-
'ionally he Is killed by watching at the
arcass Of an animal he has killed. Oc-
'asionally tiger kills a hunter, but
lot often. In India and also in Korea
nany unarmed and half-naked natives
ire killed by tigers ever year. In the
var between men and tigers 1t Is hard
say which is winning.
Tigers are found In almost all parts
II the continent of Asia, from the trop-
cal jung!es of India to the almost arc
.ic heights of the mountains In ST.
,eria and northern China.

MODERN DOLL WORK OF ART
Children of the Long Ago Were Salts
fed With Very Ordinary Counter
feits Of Nature.

II Is interesting to contrast the
plump. really truly looking American
doll of today with the crude, legless,
long-armed wooden dollies with which
the little Egyptian girls used to play.
These Egyptian dolls had wooden hair
md funny long arms that reached al
most to the knees and they never had
any feet at all, says the Boston Post.
For clothes all there ever was for
them to wear was just strip of cot
ton cloth wound round and round
their bodies like bandage.
Worse than that the poor little Mo-
hammedan children had to play with
headess dolls because the queer rul-
ings of their religion would not allow
of any imitation of the human figure.
Biblical children, Esther and Ruth,
probably played with wooden dolls
very much like the Egyptian dolls,
never bit more beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of
tree bark. 1t was said to be 250
years old before 1t came into her pos
session and since she died it has
never been located.
Dolls began to get better about that
period and Mary Queen of Scots
owned collection of dolls that would
move their arms and legs, they being
operated with springs. AS early as
1413 came dolls with voices that
would squeak. Wigs came in 1920 and
walking dolls In 1926, but they were
oil queer and ENJOYABLE compared to
the delightful "mamma" -"papa" talk
ing. walking, winky-eyed, real curly
haired dolls that the little American
girl can have for her very own chill
,iren.

Beauty Contest In Africa.

The Africa and Orient Review, a
South African newspaper, has started
beauty contest for dusky bellies and
llready 800 entries have been received
or the competition. The editor, Mr..
iiohamed Ali, thus describes tire ne
,ress face: "The eyes," he said,
should have the African expression,
soft. appealing look--an intangible
ireaminess, never seen in European
Eyes. The nose should be seml-aqul-
Inc, slightly squat at the bridge, and
he lips somewhat thicker than those
,f the average European, charac-
eristic which l think gives solidity
o the expression. The hair should,
II course, be curly" PHOTOGRAPHS Of
he competitors will be reproduced
Zach month, and the readers Of the
ournal will be asked to vote for the
photograph they consider the most
beautiful, the lady receiving the great
est number of votes to be given $780,
The second prize is $3.50 and the third
, watch bracelet.

Worlds Longest Car Ferry.

The new railway ferry line, which
IS being planned to run between Eng
land and Sweden, will be the longest
IN the world. A tremendous ferry
ooat with engines furnishing about
1900 horsepower Is to travel daily
between the two countries, bearing
ipon Its huge decks freight trains 4S
urs In length. Besides this there will
he provisions for taking travellers
rom the first to the fourth class, to-
sether with dining rooms, promenades
and other agreeable features. The
Journey requires 33 hours. After ar
irving on land the freight train at
once proceeds upon the English or
Swedish tracks, as the case may be.
II is obvious that tremendous saw
ing both In time and In labor can be
thus accomplished.

MASONIC MINES
BEING DEVELOPED

The shaft on the Myrtle and Julia
claim, owned by Montrose, Boone, and
Carpenter, has been taken to depth
OF 20 feet and the ore body is WIDEN
ing out to considerable extent. Samples
were taken of the ore that is exposed
in the bottom of the shaft and the re-
turns will determine what disposition
the owners are to take. Should values
show we'll, the shaft will be driven to
depth of at least so feet. Former
assays gave values ranging from $24
to SOS per ton.
In speaking of the other mines Of
the camp, the Bridgeport Chronicle
has the following to say:
c. L. Faudre has been removing his
household effects from Yerington to
Masonic, and in company with Arch
and Adam Mcmillan, intends to start
work Immediately in developing sew
eral claims south of Masonic noun,
tain from which he has received en-
couragaing assays.
c. c. Hayes has opened up new
shaft on the Success claim, and is
making arrangements to commence
sinking. The Hayes Brothers have
received very flattering assays from
their property, although they have not
reached a depth of Is feet. Their
assays give returns of from $l2 to
$4,000 per ton, and everything would
indicate that a large body Of ore
will be encountered with little
depth. Several parties are looking at
the property, but to date, no deal has
been contaminated.
Jim Peril and John Christie have
been opening up some of their claims
and the showing made thus far is
very encouraging, and beyond doubt
they will have a good mine with a
little more development work.
1t is reported that Stahl Brothers
are figuring on starting operations in
the camp again. They own the mill
in lower town and the Cerita mine
- q
which has broken formation but
several years ago some very rich
high grade ore was taken from the
mine. Frank Stahps statement gives
100000 as the amount recovered.
