AUTO HORN HALTS LIONS
Lone MOtOrist In Africa Cows Three
and Calns Attacked Oxen.

The loot of single motor horn has
been found sufficient in Africa, to quiet
stampedcd oxen and cause II trio of
flesh hunting lions to stink away into
the bushes.
Two native drivers were recently con-
Quoting il wagon drawn by 10 oxen to
Il railroad camp in the wilds near Ma
kurru, the site Of the new Uasin Gishl
railroad, when the spans We're attacked
by three lions. The drivers fled to near
bv trees The oxen became panic
stricken and dashed along the body of
one OK. killed by the lions, with the
sWaYing wagon behind them. The lions
followed their prey.
This was the mad procession that
greeted a lone motorist at curve of
the road. He had no rife. and it was
almost an unconscious movement that
took his hand to the horn button. At
the first sound of the horn the lions
seemed non-plussed. The motorist then
blew loud and long. As the uncannv
and sustained shrek rose above the
clamor of the frightened animals the
lions skunk away among the rocks
headed for the shelter of the bush, and
the oxen swung clear of the dust-coyered
automobile and came to a stop Mt the
side of the road.

ASIA MINORS RUG INDUSTRY.


w. +. Griffith Blackler, who has Just
arrived in this country from BoudJah,
Smyrna, declared that it is no longer
possible to find antique rugs in that
country. Mr.. Blackler has spent sew
cral years in the Near East, and consid-
crs the present conditions there some
what depressing.
"'The rug business in Asia Minor has
had tremendous setback" said Mr..
Blacklcr. MANY of the districts which
were rug weaving districts before the
war are either in no mans land or be-
hind the Turkish lines and in them we
, are no longer able to exercise any control
over the manufacture of rugs, even if
the work has not entirely stopped.
ANY one who thinks he is buying an
antique rug in the Near East is badly
fooled. There are almost no rugs in
Smyrna that are more than 20 years old,
Mt the most. OF course. this fact is very
cleverly disguised fnr the edifcation of
the uninitiated. The rugs are washed
| the colors toned down and a very hand
| some. soft colored, ancient looking fabric
is produced. 1t looks very we'll but it is
only n camoufiage.
| People are simply sentimental about
an antique rug. The modern rugs are
quite as handsome and are far more
practical. because they can be made to
exact measurements. Under normal
| conditions in Asia Minor the rugs are
woven to our patterns and sizes, while
| Persian rugs. which are in such favor
must be bought in certain stock sizes and
cannot be made in any special weave
| The finest weavcs are not being mad,
now. owing TO the fact that the weaver,
! have been driven out Of the country OF
drafted into service. The best weaver'
are the Armcnians.
Although one hears so much abou
Turkish rugs, next to the Armenians
the Greeks do the finest work. and thu
, Turkish weavers are the poorest work
erS that we have and only operate on tn,
coarseSt weavcs. 1t was the Armen
ians who did the exquisite work with 1:
threads each way to the inch, whicl
characterzes the finest rugs
Most of the rugs are woven by yOun!
girls who are specially trained for the
work. They become weavers sometime
as young as eight years, and weave unit
they marry. Although marriages in tn
Near East are early. they often worl
until they are Is or 20. This is in con
trast to India. where the rug weaving i

TIE Valley fair, which is to be held
next week Tuesday and Wednesday, is
running true to its reputation of always
having the best. as is shown by the an
nouncement Tuesday by G. l.. Stickney,
president of the fair association, that
be has secured for the fair the famous
Wilson siX-horse hitch. This announce
ment comes as Il big surprise, for this
famous outfit has never been shown out
side of the Eastern States Exposition at
Springfield. Mass, and the Brockton
fair. The six-horse hitch will come to
Brattleboro direct from the Eastern
States Exposition and the Valley fair
will be the only fair in Vermont that
will have this attraction. In addition,
this is the first time that such an out
fit has ever been exhibited in this state.
Mr.. Stickney has been working on
this matter several weeks and Tuesday
through the assistance of John G. Simp-
son, manager of the exposition at Spring
field, his efforts were crowned with sue
cess.
The six-horse hitch is owned by Will
son & Co., beef packers. of Chicago. The
six horses are Clydesdales and represent

exercised and worked that they seldom
vary in weight but few pounds.
No special feed is given to the animals
ard they are given only such care as all
others are entitled to. The meals are
given at stated hours and when they
are confined indoors because of the
weather in winter their diet is regulated
accordingly. In extremely warm weather
they are watched carefully and safe
guarded from the effects of heat
An inspection of these animals will
show what good breeding plus careful
handling can accomplish for horses. The
largest horses in the outfit are about Is
hands / inch high, and the smallest OF
lead horses are about 16 hands 2 inches
high. They average one ton each il
weight.
The exhibition at Brattleboro will in
clude movements with three hOrs,
hitch as well as the six horse hitch, tho
same as is being shown this week al
Springfield. Mr.. Stickney says the per
Torrance of these animals is nothing
short of wonderful and they execute
their movements with clocklike precision

class style to avoid keeping them in
crampcd quarters, because of their
great size. These perfect horses, while
pondcrous in size, are us gentle as kit
tens and as sensitive as children.
Their trainer and driver. Frank
IIouscly, who has been in charge of the
team all during the year, has learned
their peculiartics and can handle them
as skilfully in six horse hitch as when
they are driven in pairs. To witness
their maneuverings on the track is to
marvel Mt the skill shown. and even the
famous drivers of far famed circuscs,
who are selected for their special knowl-
edge of horses. can present no prcttier
figures on the track than can this master
trainer and driver
1t is interesting to note that these
splendid show animals have their teeth
carefully examined once Il month and
more frequently they are given thor
ough going over by their own vetcrina'
rian for with their great weight they
are apt to sustain injuries which may
not be apparent ut once to the eye. Inc
horses are not overweight but are kept
on such Il rigid diet and are so carefully

WHY "POt.Luck 2"

When an invitation is issued to "comc
and take ''pot-luck" it is understood that
no special preparation is made for the
invited guest. There was time, how
ever, when ''p0t-luck" meant dishng the
food out of pot and when the guest
really took chances of getting good
meal or very slim one.
In TIE old days-and the practice is
still in force in some parts of Europe
nothing came amiss to the family cook
ing pot, suspended from the pothook in
the middle of the fireplace. Everything
edible was thrown in it, and ito keep

INSECT IN EAR ii YEARS.

DR.. Paul A. Iigbcc of Minneapolis
reports curious case treated by him.
An insect became cntombed in mans
ear and remained there II years. caus-

of il appears in The Journal of the
American Association. Here it is:
"A man. aged &C. stumbled and fell.
Feb. Is. 1922, striking on his chin. He
was unconscious for few seconds, and
ON recovering experienced Sharp pain
in his right ear. After the chin wound
was dressed he was referred to me for
examination of the ear. The external
canal was blocked. A large amount of
debris was removed. disclosing tightly
packed cerumen, which was removed
with difficulty. Following this came the
remains of a dead cockroach. Is nm.

"1hc patient in April, 1908. while
preparing for a BATH felt a sudden pain
and buzzing in the right ear. which al
most drove him frantic. While his wife
was te'ephoning for a physician, he put
his head under the water in the tub, and
Che pain soon ceased. Later, on the
advice of his physician, the car was
syringed, but nothing was washed out
of the ear, and it was supposed that
the trouble was due to n small mite
which had been lost in the washing. The
patient gradually became deaf in this
ear. but never consulted n physician. be-
lieying some irreparablc damage had
been done to the ear by the insect
After removal of the insect and cleans
ing of the canal. hearing was fully nor

IL slight abrasion of the drum.
1T seems probable that, following the
original injury in 1908. the canal be-
came gradually filled with wax, thus en-
tombing the insect in an alright
space and preserving it in toto for nearly
II years"
