PRANK OF THE WIND.
Hundreds Of Snowballs Were Rolled
Up On New York Farm

Hundreds Of Snowballs Were Rolled
Up On New York Farm
When Pete Tinigin went out to do
the chores one morning recently he
was mystificd by the Sight of large
number of huge snow.balls scattered
over his farm, relates an Avon, n. y,
dispatch. On the 20-acre field there
were hundreds of them ranging in size
from 6 to is inches in diameter Lead
ing up to each SNOWFALL was q streak
OF bare ground showing the distance
it had travelled in forming.
Mr.. Finigin and neighbors who
gathered to study the odd spectacle
decided that the wind which had blown
a gale the night gefore had whipped
up small particles of good packing"
snow and started them down the field,
some Of the particles gathering up ad-
ditional snow until balls had been
formed that were too heavy for the
wind to more further All the paths
of the snowballs were in the same
general direction that the wind had
been blowing.
TO record the unusual freak Of wind
and snow, NJ. FiniGin sent for the
correspondent Of Il Dualffo newspaper,
who counted more than 1000 snow
balls of more than 10 inches in diam

DETECTIVE DOGS
German Police Said to be Without a
Reer.


Peer.
--latest style in dogs" Is the title
given the German police dogs by Dean
W. Horace Hoskins Of the New York
University Veterinary college who says
fashions in dogs fluctuate as they do
in dress.
The Boston terrier and PeEinese are
also fashionable Dean Hoshins said.
THE Boston terrier has enjoyed 4
longer period Of popularity than any
other dog, having been in vogue for
thirty years, ana is still fairly popu
lar" he said.
The pug dog, and the old black and
tan, or the terrier, which enjoyed an
immense popularity in the SOS and
g0s are almost extinct and the dean
said he knew of no one who still
breeds them. The elbows. which were
favorites in 1900 are we'll liked.
Dean Hoskins lamented the passing
Of the collie, and regretted the current
vogue for the police dog, saying he
was not so gentle companion as the
collie.
German police dogs were brought
back to America in great numbers
aboard army transports by Officers
and rlcn Of the army OF occupation in
Germany.

WAITED IN VAIN
Chinese Starved to Death Believing
-. Food Was Coming.

Thirty thousand Chinese gathered
in a'great bare field outside Tientsin,
China, waiting patiently for food
which never arrived and then slowly
died there, T. S. Glines, American en-
einecr, reported upon his arrival in
New York after passing six months
in, the famine stricken areas of North
China, relates an Associated Press
's The condition Of: the starving hordes
was so ,piti.sul,. Mr.. Cilines said. that he
did not have, the heart to- take pho
tographs Of such misery" ".''He said
that the crowd at Tlentsih had gath
cred because. they believed food would
reach them there more quickly than in
the country. Along a roadside near
the field, he told of seeing the bodies
of whole family-father, mother and
five children-each few yards apart
where they mad dropped and died.
1.-THE crop failures have been al
most complete in the five great pro-
vinccs that make up the northern
part of China proper-Chihli. Shan
tung, Shansi, Shcnsi and FIonan,"
said Mr.. Glines. This Is the part OF
the country around Peking. south OF
Mongolia and Manchuria."
Explaining why the sections OF
China not stricken by famine were
unable to relieve the starvation dis
tricts, Mr. Glines said: China is
largely an agricultural nation. Ninety
per cent. of the population lives on
the tiny farms into which the country
is divided. The Chinese work their
land to the limit but they cannot
raise more than enough 10 feed them
selves. Each district can raise barely
enough food to support its own peo-
pie. That is why the prosperous
provinces have been able to do so lit
tic for the famine stricken ones. They
have not: the food to send.
1.-THE crops in North China have
failed since 1919. The people have
been unable to get more than scraps
of food from other parts of China.
They have been unable to get much
from outside because food has been
high priced all over the world. They
have tried to move TO better districts
where they have had such poor re-
sources that they have died like flies
on the way.
There is no question that more
than 100000 Chinese will starve to
death this winter and spring unless
food is rushed to them" He declar-
cd that millions will die despite aid,
that the population of 45,ooO.HOo in
the famine districts is in such dire
straits. that. it will te n physical in
possibility to rush enough food to
them to save all.
Great. irrigation projects, control OF
flood producing streams. and improve
ment of transportation were cited by
Mr.. Glines as the only salvation OF
the agricultural and economic life oil
China.
These things will be done in time"
he said "for China is awake. America
will probably have big part in th's
future of China, but we must lay
aside these things for the present and
devote, every effort to getting food TO
the starving millions"
