GIRLS FROM THE EAST
 ARE HIKING TO WEST

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The roam. ing. complex, sometimes called the wanderlust, has become epidemic c among Eastern girls of debutante years Not few of them are tramp ing across the continent this sum mer, gathering an occasional lift from kindly automobile tourists and walking the rest of the way. So- called sensible shoes, khaki trousers and the will to work when the purse becomes emaciated charac- terize most of them.
 Some of these Eastern girls de- clare they find the West safer for young women than New York City. Rebecca Brownsteip and Myra Le- vine, former students of Syracuse University who recently hiked from the Pacific to their homes here, praised Western men so highly that many mothers began praying that their dear daughters would not get any of those crazy ideas of walk ing across the country" into their heads.

THUNDER SHOWER REALLY INVENTED
 ICE CREAM SODAS

DETROIT, Mich, Aug 15.-A summer thunder shower II years ago resulted in the invention" of the ice, cream soda, according to Fred Sanders; Jr., of Detroit, whose grandfather, Fred Sanders, slafmed the distinction of having discovered this American institution. @
 Speaking of his grandfather's dis covery Mr Sanders said:
 Forty years ago the American people regarded ice cream much as the lily that could not be painted At that time they took it straight. Syrups were in general use in drink connections, but the ice cream sun- dae and it's many relatives were un- known Carbonated water was used by the soda dispensers in a popular drink known as sweet cream soda. It's chief ingredient was weet cream, direct from the farm.
 "The thunder shower that brought about my grandfather's discovery came in the summer of 1880 He was conducting a soft drink parlor and the storm caused the sweet cream he had intended for sodas to sour. Just before the storm passed wedding party dropped in and my grandfather volunteered to experi- ment until he found a substitute drink. He tried several drinks and finally concocted one almost identi- cal with the ice cream soda or toda.
 Members of the party liked the new drink so well that it became popular within a short time and soon all the dealers were making the sodas"

 Will Georges Carpenter use his broken thumb as an alibi to keep away from Tommy Gibbons?
 Recent reports from France have given hints that he may, though nothing definite has come from eith CT Georges or Francois Descamps to date. Prior to his meeting with Dempsey the French champion ex- pressed the wish to meet Gibbons. At that time he was, outwardly at least, confident of beating Jack Dempsey. No doubt Dempsey took a lot of self-esteem out of Georges. Perhaps he has spoiled him alto gether for Tom Gibbons or any other American fighter who packs punch. We hope not, but you never can tell. That dear France is a heaven for Georges He is idolized as much as ever. There are no dangerous foe men snooping about, either, and as he has plenty of this worlds goods he may figure that there is no call for him to risk his precious jaw again. On the other mitt, Georges, like any other human, no matter how much coin he may get, loves to flirt with the shekels Another trip to America, especially a trip to meet Gibbons for the worlds light heavy weight champion, would be worth an other young fortune. The coin is a strong magnet. It may be too strong for Carpenter to resist. We hope so.

BEARS RAID ROADHOUSES
 ON THE OVERLAND ROUTE

A letter received here from Jack Gray, who is in charge of the Daw- son. Whitehorse winter trail road houses, including the Braeburn and the Nordenskiold, on the southern end of the route, states that bears recently broke, into the two houses and did much damage, says the Dawson News. Both houses had been barricaded against the bears for the summer by placing heavy board coverings over each window. The bears succeeded in ripping the boards from the windows, and breaking through them. At Brae- burn, one persistent member of the bruin family went through small window and, once in, he proceeded to smash things generally. He broke all the panes of glass in the house from the inside, smashed up the furniture. tore open the supplies which had been left, and made the place look like a bomb had exploded there.

Little Willie denied that he burg larized the pantry and stole the jam. But the jam was on his hands and face in plain sight. The Black White Sox are in the same boat with Willie, so to speak. They knew what was going on between certain of their number and lot of crooked gambl- CTS of their emissaries. Yet they deny their guilt.
 After a fashion the erring Sox players have been whitewashed by a Chicago jury. But now that they have acquittals in their pockets what good are they? Organized baseball is through with them forever The great baseball public is heartily be- hind Judge Landis in his ultimatum. which bars the players from ever again donning uniforms within pro. fessional ranks. They had it coming, and they got it. Most of them re alized this before Commissioner Lan dis even expressed an opinion on the subject. Buck Weaver alone ex pressed hope of returning to the game.
 No matter what part Weaver took or did not take in the fixing of the 1919 worlds series, the fact remains that he knew about it. Random can not forget or forgive Weaver for keeping his mouth shut. In the eyes of the baseball public there is jam" on his hands, the same as on the hands of the others.

On entering n dark room after

At first this Increase appears TO be

After 30 minutes sojourn In the
dark the scnsitIvity still Increases but
more slowly than before, md after 40

ity varies slightly with different peo-

These facts are obtained from u

SIGNED WITH FINGER PRINTS
