TOR a few days 1t looked as If Ire
land might have something re
sembling peace-but only for a few
days. On wednesday the peace com
mittee, on which both sides were rep
resented, reported to Dali Eireann
that 1t was unable to agree on a basis
for adjusting the differences between
the Free States and the republican
extremists, neither party being able to
compromise without complete surren-
der. At the same time the truce
pired automatically. The radicals de-
clare they will try to prevent the
holding of the election scheduled for
the second week in June and the
Free State men declare 1t shall be
held; which conflict of intentions fur
nishes the basis for a continuation of

HAS HARD WORK
 TO SUPPORT TITLE

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-It is hard to be relatively poor, yet compelled by the circumstance of birth to hide the fact and even play the part of a mad-cap spender.
 certain lord writes to London newspaper:
 q have to wear a tall hat and the tail coat of conventionality. I have to tip well and cheerfully, and at the same time count every penny. When friends from abroad come to town I have to entertain them which is a pleasure, but oh! the plotting and the planning and mean little economies that I have to practise Without a title l should be a comparatively happy man. But inherited it and I cannot shed it.
 "A wealthy American once said to me, You British peers have a jolly good time!' I tried to explain to him that we too had responsi- bilities, but he countered this by saying, T would give anything to be a man of title And I would have given a great deal to be plain Mr. with all his money"

PLANS RESTORE FORT
 OF HISTORIC INTEREST

VANCOUVER, Wash, Oct. F. - Much interest is being taken here in the effort to restore old Fort Van couver, originally built by the Hud- son Bay Company in 1928, and the site of one of the first settlements in the Pacific Northwest. Senator Miles Poindexter introduced a bill in the last Congress that would appropriate $30,000 to restore the stockade of the fort to it's original appearance. The remains of the ancient fort are now in cluded in the modern barracks of Fort Vancouver.

IS HIGH BY RUSSIANS
 MONTE CARLO

MOSCOW, Oct. 17.-There are five players waiting for every available seat around the baccarat and roulette tables in the newly opened gambling Casino in Moscow, where the play runs high from o'clock in the even ing until 10 the next morning.
 Frequenters of Monte Carlo and the other big European gaming places in the old days when Russian arstocrats went abroad to spend their money, always remember the Slays as the most reckless and inveterate of gamblers. A visit to the Moscow Casino today shows that all of the troubles of the Russian revolution have not changed them.
 Workmen, roughly dressed, and un- shaven, with heaps of ten and hun dred million ruble notes in front of them, sit tensely watching the turn of card at tables where, perhaps, a fashionably dressed girl, unable to get a seat, leans over a workman and asks him to place bet for her, or pro- poses that they take the "bank" at baccarat together.
 Foreigners wonder where the play CTS get their money. Persons whose appearance suggests their readiness for the vagrancy court or the poor house, dig heaps of Russian ruble notes, foreign currency and even gold coins out of ragged coats, and lose or billions without outward appearance of elation or discomposure.
 The "big play" at baccarat is con i fined to one room, barred to all those except actual players. Here the mini mum bet is 5O,O0O,OO0 rubles or, at present rates, about SIP in American money. From this minimum banks are frequently built up to many bill | lions of rubleS, equal to several thOus- mum bet is 10,000,O00 rubles, or two and a half dollars, and these tables are in the open, with scores of anxious spectators crowding about those lucky enough to get places.
 The roulette wheel is operated only for one hour each night, and here the maximum bets range from 5000, ,000 rubles on single number to 30000,- 900 on a color. The wheel has two zeros, instead of the usual one at Monte Carlo, and the profits of the "house" at roulette are, in proportion, twice those which the Monte Carlo gamblers reap from their wheels.
 At least $200,O00 changes hands nightly at this casino, for the "house," 7" in taking five per cent from each bac- carat pot, reaps an average of about | $10,000 night. Recently one nights takings were 69,000,000 00O rubles.
 Prices that shock even hardened American tourists are demanded for refreshments served by the walters while the play is on. A package of ten cigarettes of a well known but very cheap brand, selling in England for the equivalent of ten cents, bring six million rubles or dollar and a half, while a small bottle of soda water is served at the equivalent of seventy-five cents.
 Practically all of the gains of the house go to the government for re- lief of famine sufferers, or other worthy causes.

TRACE
 CRIMINALS BY
 AIR BREATHED

! PARIS, Oct. 1S.-Analysis of the i air breathed by a criminal is the newest aid to the French police in indentifying malefactors. They sci entifically examine the air in the room in which he operated, then examine the man, and reach a defin- ite answer to the question whether he breathed in that room at par ticular time. If by chance the man expectorated while at work, he can be traced as surely as if he had ! left his calling card.
 The machine which does this is part of a crime detector system which was shown to Police Con- missioner Enright, of New York City, based on science applied to the de- lection and identification of crim- inals. If the Paris police wish to show that a man was at given i place at a given hour, they do not spend days trying to find witnesses. They proved it by the air he breathed; by the clothes he wore, and by several other scientific rec ords which they say cannot be de- they say, such is their confidence in the accuracy of their deductions. When a crime has been commit | ted the scientists, in their we'll equipped laboratory, are notified. | They crowd into big automobile, filled with scieHtifc instruments, and proceed to the scene. There is the expert photographers; the artist to make sketches; the chemist, and The last-mentioned takes a section of the air for future careful analy- sis; each of the others does his assigned part, and no possible bit of material analysis is overlooked. The 1 floor and the walls, the furniture; i threads of clothing; bloody rags; i broken lights finger prints, anything 1 that offers a possible suggestion is i packed up in air-tight receptacles and taken back to the laboratory. Here everything is analyized, and finally, the laboratory is able to give instructions to the detectives whom to arrest and what to look i for, so that final and definite con- parisons may be made.
 When we appear in court we do not confront the prisoners and the judges with suppositions or proba- bilities," said M. Bell, chief of the 1 laboratory. "We present proofs and facts. We explain exactly how the crime was committed. In 1,110 cases of crime, 1,677 imprints were made, requiring 101,616 examinations and 4,775 photograp apheric' prints, and this work led to the positive, identi- fication of 126 criminals. Criminals who wash up blood stains now
 waste their time. In this labora- tory blood diluted 100000 times can
 be traced, whether 'the original stain was on floor or bit of cloth"
 "Each man or woman has his or her distinctive heat and this is why bloodhounds are able to trace by
 smell" continued the speaker. "The
 spectroscope can be made to de-
 tect the light radiating from given
 person, and if that person has
 passed through a room, unseen at a
 given moment, this fact the machine
 will reveal. The fact that the per son in question was in state of
 excitement or not also will be re-
 corded.

THIS BLUE-BLooDED cow
TAKES FIRST PLACE
Floa ormsby Mercedes Is Arts
tocratic Name Of Celebrated
Milk Producer; Has Achieved
Great Fame; Owned By Mar
low & Randall; What She Has
Done for Humanity.

Mankato has HoIstein a heifer,
that broke the worlds record in q
305 day division for two year Odds.
This animal is owned by NARROW
Randall of the Mankato Holstein
farms, located three. miles north of
this city. The name of this blue
blooded COW is Mankato F1oa Ormsby
Mercedes. She has lead of 10
pounds of butter over the former
worlds record, having produced in
305 days $50 pounds Of butter and
18,S10.1 pounds of milk which dis
place Pabst Virginia Johanna, who
formerly held the worlds record
with 770.5 pounds of butter. She is
bred to qualify in this division, which
requires her to freshen within four
teen months from her last calling
date.
Mankato Fioa Ormsby Mercedes is
in the very best OF health and con-
dition and now weighs 16O0 pounds
a gain of 200 pounds while making
this record She is the daughter Of
Sir Pietertje Ormsby Mercedes XIV.
She was bred, and was developed
lat the Mankato Holstein Farms by
NARROW & Randall of Mankatn-
This record is ale the more re-
markable, as it as made while the
heifer was on the show circuit, and
was made entirely with the use Of
the Human Electric Mixer. with
which she was MIXED four times
times a day throughout the entire
test, except when she rode on trains
between shows.
Record Of the Lady.
Mankato F1oa Ormsby Mercedes
freshened May IL, 1921. at two
years, four months, and twenty one
days. She was in the MARROW &
Randall show herd at the 1921 Dairy
Cattle congress, and at the National
Dairy show. She won first in her
class, senior and grand champion
over all females at the Dairy Cattle
Congress at Waterloo. However at
the National she was not placed,
but was set to the barn by the
judge on account of one quarter of
her udder being swollen and con
gested on account of slight INJURY.
This injurv however, was only tenn
porary.
Mankato Ffoa Ormsby Mercedes is
a sensational heifer combining size,
type and production. She is the
only dairy COW that has every won
grand championship at show like
Waterloo Dairy Cattle Congress or
the National Dairy Show while on a
long time test, and then completed
worlds record
