CAREER
ENDED AS NORWICH
RACES TO TRIUMPH
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.
International News Service Sports

NEW YORK, Juno S.-This is the
story of romance and tragedy blend
ed, for one fleeting moment, in the
careers of two turf idols one of the
present, the other of the past.
While the crowd at Jamaica wa
hailing the great Norwich, the 1922
Kentucky Derby winner, as he raced
a half mile against time. Old Rosebud
winner of the same classic in ~
was lying dead at Aqueduct few
miles away the victim of frien lily
bullet.
Thus did the past and present cross
paths for a single instant. For Mo
yich, the pampered darling of t.
track, the occasion meant cheers and
acclaim. For Old Rosebud, the for
gotten, a merciful bullet.
Old Rosebud, broken and useless.
with the days of his triumphs dim
med by time, shot as an act of rnerc-',
even while his present day successor
was Haunting his supremacy before
thousands who had once hailed the
deelict as supreme. Life itself holds
no sterner lesson of the fleeting char
acter of fame.
Rosebud's career Varied.
The career of Old Rosebud, unlike
that of Norwich, scaled the heights
and plumbed the depths in a rapid
succession of ups and downs He was
one of the leading two-year olds in
1913, won the Kentucky Derby the
following year in 2;03 rs, the fastest
time ever made in the classic and two
or three weeks later broke down dur
ing the running of the Withers.
For the next two years he was LOST
to racing; then, in 1917 and 1918, he
came back to gain even greater re-
nown in racing against the best
handicap horses in training.
Followed another breakdown, and
1t was virtually the last. Old Rosebud
was patched up again and started in
two races at Jamaica against the

it was asking too much even in that
kind of company. Ills heart was as
big as ever, but his legs couldn't ans
wer.
He broke down in training for the
third time several weeks ago, and this
time his owner, Frank d. Weir, who
had stuck to the horse through senti-
ment, realized that there was nothing
for it but that Old Rosebud must pass
on to whatever might await him be-
yond life.
The bullet was merciful-and

Straws and Painted Lips.

Somebody r other said something
r other about straws showing which
way the wind blows" remarked a
soda fountain boy who served cool
drinks to matinee girls and afternoon
crowds; "but 1 know something that
these sOdawater straws point to-"
What do you known asked the girl
assistant.
Il know that it's the girls with the
pretty painted lips that use them.
When girl has just dolled herself all
up in a carmine Cupids bow effect
she can't afford to have it all washed
off with a glass Of soda water and a
paper napkin-no sir! So she always
uses a straw. Maybe that's how the
poem, 'Prettiest girl 1 ever saw was
drinking soda through straw start

here. I know."-Chicago Journal.

German Woman LAWYER.

A woman appeared as an attorney
for the first time in the history Of
German criminal courts a few days
ago, when Fraulein DR.. Munk Of
Berlin acted as defendant counsel for
a man accused of a street robbery.
The incident was the subject Of con-
siderable comment, and it has been
suggested that this may lead to the
appearance of tailors specializing in
the attire of feminine lawyers. In
some quarters the view is held that
the presence of woman attorneys may
exert moderating influence in courts.
such as tempering retorts from oppos-
ing counsel, although others point out
that such repartee may be intensi-
. fed If both opposing attorneys are
women.
Fraulein Munk's cleverness and as
surance In court created distinctly
favorable impression.

A considerable increase In industrial
activity is to be noticed in Peru. On
the whole the textile industries have
been the most successful, since cotton
and wool are produced locally In
quantities and qualities sufficient to
ensure profitable results. The only
other industries that have attained
much importance include the manu-
facture of cottonseed oil, soap and co
caine. The cotton mills in Peru manu-
facture principally sail-cloth, t1lterpress
cloth, towels and some other heavy
goods. The total number of looms in
operation is one thousand and fifteen,
and the annual production is about
fifteen million yards. The develop
ment of this industry will create a
fairly good opening for cotton mill
machinery. The wooden industry Is
also expected to expand.

American Proud PosSessor OF
One of Oldest Books.
Believed TO Have Been Printed In
China Before Western Hemisphere
Knew of Movable Type.

William Richard, former vice presi-
dent of the American Numismatic So
ctety, who acquired two rare books
during a "Trip TO China several years
ago, has announced after thorough in
,yestIgatiOn, his conviction that he has
one OF the rare books called the Tan
Jur," or the Book OF the Doctrine of
the Tfbetans.
F.. For some time after he came into
possession of the book, Mr.. Richard
looked upon it as only a curiosity
without any particular worth, until
ne showed it TO q friend, who urged
him to investigate it's origin. After
more than a year studying the itera-
ture of Tibet and China, he found
that the book was printed more
/ than 1000 years ago with NOV
able type, at that time unknown In
the western hemisphere. Mr.. Rich
ard says he has proved conclusiveIy
that the 'Tanjur'' was printed 700
years before the famous Gutenberg
Bible, the first European book print
ed with movable type.
From an Office boy for John D.
Rockefeller Mr.. Richard has come to
travel in recent years in many for
eign countries as representative Of the
Standard Oil company and other
American firms. Before he left for
the Orient, about eight years ago,
