BRITISH OK,
ON DRY PLAN
IS REFUSED
Won't Enter Agreement
on Seizure Outside of
Smile Limit.

Washington, Oct. 16.-(By the
Associated Press Great Britain,
in communication delivered today
to the state department, is UNDER
stood to have declined to agree to
the suggestion of Secretary Hughes
for a reciprocal agreement for the
extension Of the right of search and
seizure SO as to give the American
prohibition navy Jurisdiction out
side the three mile limit.
The British communication, in
reply to the one sent London by
the state department several weeks
ago, was presented to Secretary
Hughes by the British ambassador,
Sir Auckland Geddes.
Blocks Extension.
Although department ofYicials
would not discuss the subject, there
we're indications that the refusal to
accord q reciprocal right Of search
outside the usual limits Of terri
torial waters would be considered
as finally blocking any extension
Of such authority to prohibition Of
ficials.
At the same time the British for
eign office assured the American
government that every precaution
would be taken to prevent VIOLA
ton OF the American prohibition
law by rum smugglers under the
British flag. 1t was said that Cam
adian and other port officials had
been instructed to prevent, SO far
as 20 ssible; the issuance Of fraud

Crime Is Work of
Amateur.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Police and the
Chicago Medical Society, aiding in
the investigation, still were baf-
fled today by the mystery sur
the city's gland robberies.
At least two men were known to
have been subjected to operations
in which vital glands were re-
moved from their bodies. Both men
said they were kid9aped, drugged,
mutilated and left on the street.
In some respects the two cases
differed widely. Joseph Woznsak,

medical men said was the work OF
an expert surgeon.
City Employe Is Victim.
Harry Johnson. an employe of
the city electrical department,
whose loss Of glands was double
that of Wozniak, was mutilated by
an amateur, according to surgeons.
"The man who performed the op-
Grafton on Johnson was far from
being skilled physician" said DR..
Karl Meyer, of the staff Of the Cook
county hospital, who attended the
man. "The wound was ragged and
apparently done by a rank amateur
who knew nothing of surgery. 1t
is surprising that the man did not
die from Infection"
Nay Be Revenge.
Several theories were advanced
by the police, who said that john
son at least may have been the
victim Of revenge. Hospital au-
thorities said that when he was
brought In johnson was 30 intcxi-

Cat Took Nap in Limousine.

The cat that looked at king was
only slightly more ambitious than a
Hyde Park tabby that took possession
of a limousine standing by the curb,
remarks the Chicago Post. The cat
a bedraggled stray, was pussyfooting
through the rain of one of the recent
cold days, evidently in search of a
comfortable place for nap. 1t
passed by dOorways and f1ivvers as
not up to it's aristocratic demands,
then spied the limousine standing at
the curb and promptly decided to
move in.
Unfortunately for the cat, the doors
of the car were closed. Tabby found
this out after a thorough inspection
that started at the left side running
board, included the top and then the
right side running board. Finally the
cat tried the front, but the windshield
was closed, too. Then tabby picked
out a spot on the hood that still re-
tanned some heat from the engine,
curled up and went to sleep.
Tabby held possession until the
owner appeared.

CHRISTMAS TREES WILL LAST
Little Danger That in Years to Come
the Children Will Be De-
prived of Joy.

Don't join any gloom group that may
be trying to form a society for the pre-
yention Of cruelty to Christmas trees,
advises writer in the Kansas City
Star
The forests are there to be used, and
if, as we utilize the trees, we make it
possible by replanting for our children
and our childrens children to have
trees, there is no reason for not having
Christmas trees as well as all the lum-
Der we need
That is the way the scientific for
ester, the man who grows trees like
the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettable
ruthless cutting OF spruce and fir for
the Christmas tree market in northern
states. many Christmas trees are now
by-product of the forests There are
small trees in every properly managed
W0Odlot that must be sacrificed so
that the others may have room to
grow These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries Baby spruce and
fir trees are planted by man so that
the babies and children of man can
have Christmas trees in their nurS-
cries. And a Christmas tree is
usually between the ages of five and
ten years, just about the age of the
chilH who enjoys Christmas most In
the future years, it is expected that
nearly all of our Christmas trees will
be raised by nurserymen from the
forests.

lLL-LUCK I'M THREE PIECES"
Ancient Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Mind of Almost
Every Japanese.

You must never take three pieces
of any cut food on your plate at one
time, nor must you ever offer three
pieces of cut food to anyone at one
time. There will be blOOdshed if you
do, according to old Japanese super
Istition. Why? Well, three pieces is
Mi Kire three cuts, and it may also
be, in the spoken language, Mi Wo kiru,
in another infection, meaning ito cut
the body" Somewhat far-fetched, but
1T holds strong sway in the minds of
every living japanese. furthermore you
must never cut only three baby dresses
tpout of one piece of material. One
'~tan" the usual length of piece goods
will make exactly three baby dresses,
and leave a small remnant This rem
'nant, if you wish the baby you are
sewing for not to suffer from grievous
Ebody wounds, you will cut into some
part Of another dress, the neckband
the belt, or anything you please, so
long as the entire cutting from the
piece is more than Mi Kire, "three
cuts" The curious belief in sympa-
.fhetic magic is strong in every walk Of
Japanese life, and in every act of daily
Sexistence.

DON'T SWALLOW THEIR YOUNG
Popular Idea Concerning Snakes Is Not
Borne Out by the Observations
of Scientists.

Snakes don't swallow their young.
The ventral scales on a female snake
are controlled by muscle just behind
the head. Ordinarily they are hori-
zontal, but when the mother snake
scents danger she contracts the muscle
on the back of her neck, which inn
mediately brings the scales to a YER
tical position. This opens slit
under the bottom jaw, and at the same
time loosens the abdominal skin, thus
forming q pouch. The younger ones
dart through the slit and into the
pouch, and this is what has led peo-
pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
1t requires careful and skilled dis
section to detect the pouch, because
the skin shrinks when a snake is
killed. When the poison gland is re-
moved it tightens the skin under the
neck, and the youngsters can't get
into the pouch. In the female snake,
between the pharynx and the gullet,
there is a peculiar, lid-like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't
possibly return.

Precious SCOT.

By recovering gold and other pre-
cious metals from the soOty deposit
scraped from the chimney of an assay
ers factory, profit of about 500 per
cent is made on the cost of cleaning.
To this factory manufacturing jew
elers send their refuse and sweepings
to have the small fragments Of gold
and platinum which are lost in work
ing extracted.
In the process scraps, of the valua-
Bile refuse are carried off in the smoke
and fumes and deposited with the
SCOT on the inside of the chimney and
the minute particles Of gold and plati-
mum are carefully sorted out from
the SCOT.
Even the clothes of the steepleiacks
are retained for the sake of the pre-
cious CRIME on them. The value Of
the metal recovered is enough to pay
six times over for the work involved.

Captain Cooks Ship.

The Endeavour, in which Captain
Cook sailed from Plymouth on August
t25, 1853, was bought at the modest
price of 1880. The small tonnage Of
the Endeavour was, to Cooks practi-
cal mind, one of her chief merits. She
could be easily careened and easily
handled, and when he was struggling
with the currents Of the Great Barrier
Reef her captain was able to thrust
out oars through the ports Of the YES
sci and thus turn her into a galley.
He crowded into this small ship
complement of IS men, with provis-
ions for nearly two years. The main
object Of Cooks expedition was to
take some astronomers to Tahiti to
observe the transit Of Venus, but he
xwas instructed to proceed afterward
Ito make discoveries in the south
Pacific ocean" 1t was in pursuit of
this secondary object that the En-
bdeavour won her place in the history
