POSITIVELY the only peanut
eating leopard in captivity"
That is what Madame Celeste
claims for Samara, who plays the
ingenue parts with the troupe of
spotted beauties that is daily eX-
hibited with the Ringing Broth
ers and Barnum & Bailey circus.
According to Samaras mis-
tress, the animal acquired her
taste for goobcrs while travelling
with a small circus in Holland
last year. When not performing.
Samara and her companion act
ors were kept in a den which
stood near elephant row." Now
and then peanut that was
meant for an elephant tumbled
inside SamaTa's cage. From the
very first she devOured them

then eats the kernel. When it is
considered that Madame Crlcstc's S

Samara's peanut-eating attain

CITY LIMITS To
!. Be EXTENDED IF
PEOPLE WISH It
Commission Approves N-
wants Proposal to Take
in Populated Territory
Near Municipality.

The support Of the city commits
sion will be given to any movement
for the inclusion Of outlying su-
burbs in the city limits provided
the property owners affected WISH
it. and that the inclusion VIII not
work to the financial emoarrass-
ment of the city.
This was made clear by Chair
man Walton of the city commits
sion and Commissioners Well
Swope and Tingley at meeting
of the commission last night when
Henry G. Coors. representing the
Kiwanis club, had stated that the
club has begun a movement to have
annexed to the city all additions
and territory that are rightfully a
part of the corporation because OF
location.
Mr.. Coors said the city is losing
in prestige by not having the pop
ulation of these districts included
in the official census of the mu-
nicipality, and that the outlying
districts would find it to their ad-
vantage to become a part OF the
city. He said the plan of admis-
sion as lald uOWIl ny Ia" 10 yum
bersome and that the club is con-
sidering starting a movement to
have a new law passed making the
procedure more simple. The only
workable law now in existence, he
said, requires two elections. one in
the district to be included and one
in the city.
A. r. Hehensrreit, also Of the
Kiwanis committee. said that a
plan to do Justice to all concerned
Is to vote additional bonds in pro-
portion to the size of the districts
to be included. for improvements
I to be made in newly admitted sec
! tions. This. he said, would provide
the necessary improvements and
would enable the newly admitted
sections justly to bear their share
of the total bonded Indebtedness.
Admission Of the settled suburbs,
1t was shown. would increase the
population from $1,000. as now re-
corded in the census, to over 25,-

erty values in the city by $4,000
