HOUSEWIVES OF SWEDEN
UNITE FOR PURE FOOD

Stockholm, Dec. 5.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press).-A
hallmark of purity and excellence on
goods for home consumption has been
established by the Swedish National
Housewives Association, according to
Mrs. Agnes Ingelman, president of
the association. Mrs. Ingleman states
that the association for years has
been working to secure the best mer-
chandise for the homes, subiecting
different products offered to scien-
tifc purity and quality tests. The
government testing bureau, as well
as the Domestic Science School al
Upsala, have now placed themselves
at the disposal of the association.
This guarantee mark on household
provisions, groceries and supplies will
| be granted only to those manufac-
turers whose goods pass the tests
and on condition that they place this
mark on all their goods guaranteed
Hereunder. Periodically the goods
are subjected to new tests to ascer,
tain whether the standard is being
kept up. In case the merchandise
proves to have deteriorated the manu-
facturer is Immediately notified, anc
if he then fails to bring the goods VI
to specifications his right to use tht
guarantee mark of the association i
cancelled, and the fact that he ha1
been deprived of this privilege i
published.
The officials of the Swedish asso
ciation are aware of similar activ

BOTH MOVIES AND PLAYS
FOR SMALL THEATERS

Northampton, Mass, Dec. 25.-
Something in the nature of gentle
mems agreement between motion pic
ture exhibitors and those interested
in the spoken drama is suggested as
solution of the community theater
problem by Samuel A. Eliot Jr., as
sistant professor of English at Smith
College. Mr.. Eliot is the author of
several one-act plays and was active
ir the community theater venture of
the Northampton Players, which at
tracted wide attention a few years
ago.
Expressing in a recent letter in tho
Daily Hampshire Gazette a hope for
a revival of community repertory
company in Northampton, Mr.. Eliot
advanced the idea that in city of this
sie-Northampton has a population
OF 22,000-the amusement time of the
municipal auditorium might proftably
be divided equally between the play
and the movies.
cit seems certain" he said, "that
the Academy of Music is too large or
Northampton too small to support
more than a one play out of ten thru
as many repetitions as the Northamp-
ton Players used to give. Three or
four performances are enough. And
the patrons of the movies have their
rights as well and should, think, be
given a full half of the time. The
movies are highly profitable and, ID
the latter half of each week were reg.
ularly devoted to them, they ought tt
bright in enough money to Offset pos
sible losses on plays acted by a per
manent company in the first half o,
each week. This company would thu.
have the equivalent of ten days, no
six, in which to prepare each new pro
duction-no small advantage to theil
art"

DOWAGER EMPRESS
MAY LIVE IN ENGLAND

Copenhagen, Dec. 1.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press THE
dowager empress of Russia, Maria
Feodorovna, who is now in England
on a visit to her sister, Queen Alex
andra, may prolong her stay we'll be-
yond the limits originally set for it.
First it was said the widowed queen,
who was Danish princess before she
married the late Emperor Alexander
Ill, would return to Denmark in five
cr six weeks; now it is rumored in
court circles that the visit may be in
definite.
Maria Feodorovna crossed the chan
mel at Ostend. She was accompanied
by the Russian Princes Dolgoruki
and Viazemsky, Countess Mengen
and the we'll known Cossack Jacht-
chouk, who used to carry the little,
lame son of Emperor Nicholas in his
arms in the days before the executions
at Ekaterinburg over three years ago
This little boy was Maria Feodorov-
vas grandson.
It is understood locally that the en-
press will be followed to England
shortly by her daughter, the Grand
Duchess Olga and her husband, Colo
mel Koulikevsky, and their children.

STRANGE MONSTER
CAST UP BY THE SEA

Lima, Peru, Nov. 20-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press) 1.-THE
tidal waves which recently devastated
parts, of the coast of Chile cast upon
the beach at the same time a strange
denizen of the deep whole like has not
been seen in thse waters in many
years. 1t would appear to be cross
between a whale and a turtle.
Fishermen at Lurin, 25 miles from
Lima, reported huge cetacean foun-
dering in the shallow waters Of the
bay. Then they sent out word it was
an unknown monster of the sea, and
that they had killed it.
The director of the Natural History
Suseum of the University of San
Marcos and the official taxidermist
made a trip to Lurin for the purpose
of studying and classifying the
strange visitor. They found an ami
NAL with the body of a whale, but
with head and extremities resemb-
ling those of turtle. After exami-
ration they came to the conclusion
that it belonged to the family of
"Balaenidae" cetaceans, inhabiting
the South Pacific waters. 1t is sup
posed that it was carried along by the
Humboldt current and thrown up on
the beach by the tremendous surfs
following the tidal waves of the Chile,
an earthquake. The specimen will be
brought back to Lima for mountaing
and will be preserved in the university
museum.

BRAVE LITTLE BANTAM
Drew Attention of a Big Crowd In
Mississippi Town

Canton, Miss, Dec. 25.-(Associat-
ed Press) Whether the chicken was
coming home to roost or if it is on a
sightseeing trip around the world is
question to be decided when a small
White Leghorn rooster emerged from
a drain tile near the Illinois Central
passenger station here. Yesterday
afternoon when Engineer Tate arriv-
ed at Canton he noticed a crowd point
ing under his engine and when it stop
ped he was shown a smutty, greasy
and dirty but game little Leghorn
rooster looking the part of a real hobo
perched on the tank trucks of the en-
gine. When the train left Memphis
yesterday morning a consignment of
chickens was being unloaded and it is
believed the rooster made the entire
trip on the train. The rooster evaded
capture and took refuge in the drain
tile.

E. Cryer's telegraphed request to Will
H. Hays, titular head of the motion
picture industry, TO reconsider the de-
cision to permit reinstatement of Ros-
eoe C. Arbuckle, film comedian,
brought forth an answer from Mr..
Hays yesterday.
The reply said in part:
"This is no reinstatement of Ar
buckle to his place in films or does it
in any way relate to the release of
films already made 1t is simply a
declaration that | shall not stand in
the way of this man having his chance
to go to work to make good if he can.
l neither sponsor him nor stand in
his way but in spirit of American
fair play and Christian charity / pro-
pose that as far as | am concerned
he shall have his chance and am sure
we are doing the right thing to ac-
complish the great good in the end.
"While / am sure my statement is
right, yet l do not presume to insist
that my idea should be accepted by
others. That there will be some mis-
understandings of the purposes and
motives of the statement until all of
the problems are worked out, / have
nc doubt. Butswhiles shall deeply
regret any such MISUNDERSTANDING
yet from my knowledge of the whole
situation l know it is right and l am
content"

ALLEGHENY AFLOAT

The following description of the
Merchants & Miners Transportation
Gompany's new ship, "Allegheny,"
which was launched at Kearney, N. j.,
Saturday, will be interesting to
Ocalans as many of our people go
north via this popular route each
summer season.
The launching was attended by
transportation friends from various
coast cities, but on account of the
early hour of launching which was
unavoidable on account of tide condi-
tions, a large attendance was impos-
sible.
The Allegheny is 367 feet long with
So feet beam, four freight and two
passenger decks. The side ports are
so placed that safe, rapid and eco
nomical loading and .discharging is
assured: Passenger accommodations
are on the hurricane and promenade
decks. The dining room is on the
hurricane deck. There is an attract.
i've lounge suitably furnished. On the
promenade deck forward of the engine
room is the music room furnished
with combination cane and upholster.

furniture upholstered in tapestry
Ease of access from any part of the
steamer to any other part is a notice
able feature. Accommodations fol
passengers have had unusual atten

rooms, some double and some to &C
commodate three passengers. Their

IROQUOIS INDIANS
WILL REMAIN IN CANADA

Toronto, Dec. 25.-The Iroquois In
dians have made peace with the Do
minion government. Threats of mi
grafton to the reservation of the ma
tion in the United States, because the
Dominion would not recognize the red
men as an Independent nation, have
been forgotten. The hatchet was
buried and the peace pipe was smoked
at Ohsweken early in December.
Chief Deskaheh, leader of the fac
tion fighting for independence, carried
the issue to the council house of the
nation, but accepted defeat stoically
when the otfar cniefs at the pow-wow
outvoted HI Fe and his followers
had maints mat their grievances
were prope matters for an interna-
tional court f law, their independence
having been recognized by a British
sovereign.
Leaders of the loyalists, the winning
faction at Ohsweken, were chiefly
from the Christian tribes of the Mo-
hawks and Delawares. They were
well satisfied with the outcome at the
pow-wom, but now propose to GO even
further. Their tribes have virtually
no representation on the hereitary
council, members of which are elected
for life by the women of the tribes
The loyalists, it is announced, will
work for an elective council, "to con-
form with the democratic trend of
the times and to do away with a rem
nant of feudalism."

SCIENTIST FINDS RARE
BONES IN NEBRASKA A

New York, Dec. 24.-Fragmentary
evidence of unclassifed. prehistoric
rodents and reptiles has been found
by Albert Thompson, palentologist, in
the ranch lands of Nebraska, where
i'll former years research workers
have uncovered the remains of mas
todons, rhinoceroses, giant camels, al
ligators, dwarf horses and other queer
beasts. -
The bones of the strange animals
were uncovered on a ranch in Sioux
county while Mr.. Thompson, who is
a member of the archaeological re-
search staff of the American Museum
of Natural History, was searching
for skeletons of three4toed dwarf
horses.
Mr.. Thompson began the study OF
paleontology while employed as q
cowboy in the Dakota Bad Lands
more than thirty years ago. He was
especially interested in the remains OF
the three-toed horse and other types
Of beasts of the same family.
In the interest of this work he went
to Nebraska early last summer. Aid
ed by several students he began dig.
gins in channel bed that appeared
| t. be rich in bones of an sorts. He
found bits Of the dwarf horse, Of tht
alligator and of other animals, ane

He delved further in an effort tt
uncover complete skeletons. Hi

schools and he kept on alone, but haC
no further success.
Bad weather finally set US and Mr.
Thompson was compelled to abandon
his work. He had, however, collected
hundreds of bones and skulls of grea
research value. He plans to return t.
