SAYS RATTLEsNAKE'S BITE IS CURE FOR
 CONSUMPTION

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 7.- Despite the fact shat George Burke. ex-sailor. is still alive and declared to be improving in health, local phy- sicians are unwilling to admit that his 'rattlesnake cure" for tuberculo- sis is efficacious.
 Three months ago Burke, tubercu- lar victim. allowed a rattlesnake to bite him, in a desperate kill or cure' attempt. Physicians are wary about admitting that the man has been benefited by the treatment. Burke is up and around now. appar- ently helped by the snake venom that entered his veins. Physicians admit that he has improved in health, but are inclined to attribute it to other causes than the snake bite, and they urge that Burke's experiment should not influence other sufferers from the dread disease to go to similar ex- tre1nes.
 When Burke obtained his Arizona rattlers he notified physicians, and af- ter the poison fangs had sunk into his arms he was treated for snake bite. The man was dangerously i'll for several days from the effects of the poisoning.
 According to physicians, several months must eIapse before it is deter mined whether his improvement in health is permanent.

Two wonderful examples of the motor manufacturers art were snap ped up before the show began for s16.0oO and $13.0OO. respectively.
 They are princely cars of 10 horsepower. the one a magnificent sa- loon, built in sweeping lines, painted ultranarine and upholstered in gray Bedford cord, and the other i'll white, upholstered in pigskin. Each has g. host of technical excellencies.
 And princes have purchased them. Both cars go to India-the $15,000 saloon to the Maharajam of Bharat- pun and the white tourer to the Hon. Syed Adtaf Ali Nawab of Bogra.
 There are other high priced cars, one coming near to the Maharaja.h's purchase, at $14,50O. but the out standing feature of the show is the fow-priced popular light car, built to get over the crippling difficulty of the $5-per-hOrsepo tax.

SHINES, GERMAN WIZARD OF FINANCE, JUGGLES HIS
 MILLIONS AT DIkGY DESK
Biggest Man in Germany Today Looks More Like a Dealer in Second Hand Scrap Iron-Asks Advice ot None, But Gives Orders-Owns 70 Newspapers

Berlin, Dec. 7.-"Go and see Stinnes' or Have you seen Stinnes?" These are the words you hear con- stantly in Berlin business circles. The man from Breslau with a factory "a sell. the promoter from Frankfort with a banking project, the specu- the harassed director win a hard pressed steel works - all of these have only one object in coming to Berlin, and that is to see Hugo Stiunes. the mystery man of finance, che Bismarck of commerce, the real dictator of Germany.
 Here in Berlin, in a dingy, unpre- tentious, i1l-furnished office, sits the wiza I'd - the greatest money juggler since the days of Ernest Terah Ho.a- leN-ta ctiturn. sombnse-eyed, ill., dressed. and without that personal charm which so many fnanciers depend for success.
 Herr Stinnes is busy man who does not appear to be busy. Yet he is tremendous worker, dark-Tis- aged. inscrutab1e almost sinis fer looking glutton for work.
 His Is the Will
 He controls something over 13O public companies. They all have that moves ihe boards. his the pol icy that is pursued He relies on his own judgment, and not on that of does he give i. He gives orders in stead.
 He is q tremendous listener, too; sits for interminable minutes at his ing meanwhile with his deep-think- ing, luminous eyes the man who is anxious to sell or please.
 Herr Stinnes, with his dark beard. the figure of a. bIack-c1ad small deal CT in secondhand scrap iron. gives you no indication of strength by his utteranCes. They are few and to the Rllt ono ha in ence a minute without feeling that here is a man of power and nerve and imagination. Is it ships? He knows all about them. for he con trols them to the extent of many mil lirns Is it mines? He is she great est coal owner on the Continent. Is it mills. flour or paper? Here, too, he is master. Is it dye works Or cleo tri"ity? He controls Is iS banks He either owns them or dominates Wherever you turn in Germany, into any of the main avenues or the by ways of finance, you encounter the shadow of this strange, tactiturn man Of millions.
 Seventy Newspapers
 Unlike Mir Hooley. however, Herr Stinnes keeps in touch wiah other things besides mere conapanv-nall- ing and the development of German industry He is a, politician as well for he sits in the Reichstag as al NJ.

QUITE the most obvious fancy > of this season is the orgy in furs, and never before has there been such a variety of skins to choose from. The introduction of baby lamb has been the most in- teresting event, and the selections have been as diverting as any could desire.
 Sometimes the hair is very curly and sometimes almost straight, while again it is of that pressed variety so we'll demonstrated by the American broadtail. If you see some of the fur trimming on 3 coat that resembles fur, then be certain it is wooly lamb which has been pressed into service.
 The sketch on the left is an un- usually successful example of what may be done with baby lamb

for a coat dress. It is patterned after one of the seasons most diverting of modes, with high col lar, buttoned snugly about the throat
 This type of slender silhouette naturally calls into being the brim- less chapeaux. But the conserva- tive severity need go no farther, but may blossom with as fanciful crown as desired. While the hats shown in, the sketch are dis tinctly made of velvet or of du- vetyr. and may be acceptably worn with the coat dress, hats of fur promise to be very much in evidence.
 Differing radically from the slender mode of the baby lamb is the moleskin wrap worn by Gloria Swanson, starring in the Paramount picture, "Her Illus

An Army quiet, unresarded. small, Devoid of flaming and arrnanaents, But terrible with Banners: strong in soul: Brave and women with their hearts aHame To dare, to do to help and o endure. Their wind-swept garments smell of fragrant flowers And spicy odors of the woodland pine No stench of blood is Haunted from the folds. Unheeding cruel taunts and mocking sneers, Mo More sharp than bullets to the conscious heart' High courage Is the conquest they attain To stay the hand and smile in steadfast strength. Their eyes are glowing with an inward light As though they looked upon the great Unseen. Their hands are quick to bind, to soothe bless.  The yellow springs high, the golden grain Waves promise a thousand fruitful hills: Great cities rise, enduring works increase; Glad homes crowned with comfort and with And brooding science finds secrets The glory of accomplishment is theirs, The mission of the mighty enterprise To conquer nature and to The secret of eternal harmony The reconciliation of the world. The Army's ranks grow larger, year by year Its dauntless power invincibe becomes: Naught turns 1t from its onward No prosecuting jest, argument No noisy talk of Honor-every And every in the Army knows That Honor is holy thing. dear To fatal hazard of chance shot and shell. And as they march they sing: Loi We are the Army of Lifei
 We clothed with the strength of the Sun, We are marching to conquer strife,
 We carry sabre gun. Bright blossoms immortal shall spring
 In the way that feet have trod. A suerdon of giving bring
 Goodwill unto all from God. Lol We the Army of Life
 The terrible Army of Life.
 The conquering Army of Life.
 By Natures laws made manifest to man, All Death is but Negaton-dark decay; Life Is the vital spark that brings forth life, Death shall be swallowed up in Victory.
