And what about waltzing micei
There was q time when they were
as common as goldfish, the Minneap-
oils Journal states.
Pet lovers would house dizzy fam
flies Of them. They would whirl
around, In pairs, on any small space,
such as an inverted tumbler, till they
looked like spokes in black and
white wheel.
But nowadays, If you decided to
make jolly present to your youngest
nephew, you couldn't find japanese
waltzing mouse In the country.
II Is true that their dervish dance is
out Of date in this age of shimmy
shakers But that doesn't account for
their extinction.
The war, which took so many lives,
reached even to the mouse world.
Breeders no longer raise these eccen.
trio little creatures, according to Ed
Hooey, the bird and fish man, Per-
haps they still live in Japan, where
they are kept through immigration
laws. But as far as this country
goes, these busy pets of children are
now but n memory.

Animals with Third EyeIId.

Sir John Bland-sutton, senior sur
geon Of Middlesex Hospital Medical
school in London, Is authority for the
statement that all animals, except men
and monkeys, possess third eyelid.
Many people have noticed how birds,
notably the turkey, operates this third
lid by means Of special muscles. The
turkey Is constantly wlnking without
knowing that It does so. The third lid
In this case Is an opaque white cur
tain, but In certain birds and animals,
and in some fishes, the third lid is a
transparent covering. The lizard Of
trans-C Caspian deserts uses Its trans
parent lid rs protection against sand,
while the American fish known as the
star-gazer uses It effectively for watch
ing Its prey. It Is interesting to note
that the prey Is secured through the
operation Of powerful electrical mus
Giles, and considerably over 80 small
swimming fish 80 caught have been
found In the interior Of star-gazer

ature, paying railroad and hotel
bills and the like. Very seldom, if
ever, has half million gone so far
in the hands of male politicians.
Considering what the half million
did, one is lost in wonder at the
possibilities of the remaining fund,
which Mrs. Gait says is to be spent
to extend the work. The first
points of attack will be Porto Rico
and the Philippines, but European
suffrage campaigns have also re-
ceived aid and will get more as it
Is needed. The League of Women
voters, an offshoot of the suffrage
campaign, is also to be maintained.
The idea that a Foundation" for
the benefit of women would be
created, as assumed at the time the
bequest was made known, is denied
by Mrs. Gait. She believes that the
best possible foundation for wo-

trician by trade he can make ii
living, according TO his own state
ment, "by catching chickens on
fish hook and selling puzzle cards.
In his varied career he has had
manv unique experiences. Leaving
Chicago on one of his tours Aug.
4, 1920, he reached the Windy city
again on July 6, 1921. In the
meanwhile he had served a 90-day
sentence in a Florida chain gang
for being caught riding on pas
senger train without ticket. In
the past year he served several
other short Jail sentences where
he made three unsuccessful at
tempts to escape, but the heavy
ball and chain interfered with his
getaway.
He says the Southeastern states
are noted for their active deputy

mosquitoes and their dismal
swamps.

did better than this a year later

What Put Suffrage Over

The vlgor, energy ana persist
ence of the national equal suffrage
campaign and of the big fight in
Tennessee were a surprise to the
country. But the first question
which came to the minds of practi-
cal male politicians was "who is
supplying the money!" Such men
know that campaigns are often
made with wind, but never on it,
and they are accustomed to meas
ure the strength of a movement by
the size of its barrel.
The suffrage barrel was the 81,
$4,000 left bt the will of Mrs.
Frank Leslie for "the cause" Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, to whom the
money was left for such use, now
explains that 100000 was spent to
carry suffrage in this country and
says the fight could not have been
won without this money. Such a
confession from a male politician
would leave his associates aghast
at the implication, based on long
tradition, that the money was used
to buy votes. No such suspicion at
taches to the suffragist, Mrs. Gait
explains that the money was all
spent through the Leslie Woman
Suffrage committee, duly organized
under the laws of this state, and
the best evidence that none of it
was corruptly OF wastefully used is
the amount of expensive public
work which was done, such as
maintaining headquarters, keeping

Tigers Beat Fair
banks by One Run
(Continued from page one)


Witty struck out II men. Russell
who scored two two baggers and a
single was the only man on the
colored team who had his eye OIL
WHY'S brand of delivery. The
clever twirler also allowed but one
base on balls.
On the other hand in the Fair
banks boys batted Russell out of
the box in the eighth inning, then
Prudent became so wild that he
passed four men on the free list
and Campbell was brought in from
right field and saved the game for
the colored players. Only in the
sixth and eighth innings did the
colored boys get to WHY'S deliv-
cry enough to be dangerous. They
batted out four singles in the sixth
and two in the eighth.
In The OPENING frame thesTigers
scored a run and would have made
it two but for Connor's fine throw
in from left field landing Harper
at the plate.
The sixth inning was a bad ses-
sion for both sides. With a man on
third Starr tried to prevent the
next man going down. He threw
short to second and Richerel
scooped the ball and made a quick
drive home but Campbell scored
A few minutes later LomaX ran
off first and Starr threw to see
ond. An attempt was started to
run down LomaX when Williams
started for the home plate. Richer
eli threw to home and again missed
mailing the man. This series Of
maneuvers at the home plate cost
tie home team three runs. An
other run was earned on safe hits.
The Fairbanks boys tied the
score by bringing in three runs
and in the seventh took the lead
again with one run. The Tigers
got series of good breaks in l.le
eighth and scored four runs. The
Fairbanks boys came along in

never reached the treasury.
War taxes on beauty preparations
under present laws are collected by
the dealer. Buyers OF perfumes, toi-
let waters, sweet scented soaps
rouge and other cosmetics thought
the added charge imposed for taxes
all went to help pay for the war.
They were mistaken to the tune OF
more than $2S,000,000, treasury ex-
perts said. This they compute as the
sum dealers failed to turn in. and
loosely drawn tax laws make it
virtually impossible to trace the Of
tenders.
Secretary of the Treasur Houston
recommends to congress that this
be changed. He urged that manu-
facturers of cosmetics, medical pre-
parations and other similar luxury"
items be compelled, under revised
tax laws, to pay the tax and affix
the stamps before shipment. This
will stop the payment of the tax on
the individual sale. The government
