about five months old and the size

1t is not only because any one OF
these cubs is worth at least $4,000
that Miss Stark takes such tender
care of them. She is honestly wrap

the half-grown ones four times day,
lots of water and n doctor the instant

these are some of the things n

The tenderness is not always
reciprocated. Miss Stark, who weighs
around 10 pounds, is just recovering
from a thoroughly clawed shoulder
given her in two strokes of the paw
by tigreSs that weighs around 30
pounds. Some changes had to be
made in the act, necesSitating a re-

arrived after long trip by train.
She had not been fed because some
thing happened 10 the food supply.
The lights and arena were a new ex-
perience and the tigress was in any
thing but n pleasant mood.
Consequently when she got into a
corner and Miss Stark ordered her
to come out, she came out-on her
hind legs. As the animals lowered
over her head, Miss Stark caught up
a revolver which always lies on a
table in the cage, loaded with blank
cartridges and used only to brighten
an Infatuated animal. The revolver
refused to fire. The tiger dashed out
twice and the heavy flannel blouse
which Miss Stark wore. fell in rib

BY JANE COMPTON.

Copyright, 1924, b. Consol. Press Assn.
New York, April 25. - They've
found out at the circus why Empress
keeps turning her head to the left.
At every performance, both after
noon and evening. the great black
and yellow half ton of strength and
grace witches her head nervously
sidewise at the most important mo-
ment of the "act."
They were afraid she was getting
a case of temperament. They were
afraid the lights annoyed her. They
were afraid of half-dozen things
and most of the animal trainers were
at work on the problem.
But after all it has developed that
Empress is not nervous. nor tempera-
mental, nor terrified. She is merely
maternal.
The Empress is young mother.
When the wagons full of tigers are
rolled into the arena the Empress
leaves two cubs the size of young
collie dogs snuggled down in the
straw Of the wagon floor. The au-
dience cannot see these cubs. The
thousands in the Madison Square
Garden arena are too intent. anyway.

Empress and her companions TO
waste speculation on what may be

Mindful of Young.
But Empress who watches these
cubs with a vigilant glare in her yell
low eyes all through the day. is
mindful of them even when she is
leaping through hoops, making globes
spin and playing see-saw with
Queenie.
Above the blare of the band and
hoarse roar of tigers last evening,
Mabel Stark, the trim blonde trainer,
caught a hiGh-pitched cry. 1t was
like a kittens, only as much louder
as a tiger cub is bigger. Immediate

press twitched responsive. and she
gruffly voiced a reassuring growl.
~There's mother love for you"
Miss Stark said. "That animal is
half-scared of the lights. She's got
her attention fixed on going through
with her tricks and she's watching
the hoops and the other animals and
me-and yet she has time to growl
a word of comfort TO her babies.
When the act is over and the wagon
pulls up for the tigers again she is
the first cat to bound from the ring.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The state administration is to
be commended highly for the
stand it has taken in the matter
of protecting the herds of Ari
zona from the epidemic of foot
and mouth disease that is now
causing such tremendous losses
in California. No precaution,
however severe or however cost
~ is too great in the face of a
danger like this.
Several people have asked the
Verde Copper News in the last
two weeks for some information
as to the disease and a somewhat
lengthy examination of encyclo
pedias, together with consulta
tions with several local doctors,
gives the following results:
Foot and mouth disease, or
aphthous fever, is one of the
diseases for which no specific re
medy has yet been found, al
though the germ which causes
it has been isolated and many
scientists are working on the
problem of finding an antitoxin
The disease is characterized by
the appearance of blister like
eruptions on the skin of the lips
and around the upper part of the
hoofs of cattle and sheep, accom-
panied by high fever, and it is
usually fatal. the percentage of
mortality being extremely high.
The disease is sometimes com
municated TO man. It is highly
contagious and the virus may
enter the system through the
unipjnred mucous mem branes of
the mouth, the respiratory pas
sages or the alimentary tract.
The only way of fighting the
disease is to slaughter every in
fected animal and to burn the
carcass; in fact, the modern prac-
tice' is to slaughter the entire
herd in which the disease has
made its appearance. It may be
added that the milk of infected
animals invariably carries the
contagion and so may butter and
cheese made from such milk.
The cattle and dairy interests
! of California have suffered heav.
lily during the present epidemic
and so have the fruit and vege
table growers, for it has been
positively demonstrated that
these garden and field products
can carry the infection.-Verde

MEETING GASOLINE DEMAND

Company, of New Jersey, says:

crude oil, determines prices of

crease in crude oil costs resulted
in advance in gasoline.
The public need have no
alarm as to sufficiency of gaso
line supply, despite the reduced
crude oil production. Through
adoption of improved refinery
practices, and by further in
stallation of cracking facilities
and casing head gasoline plants,
the industry will be able to meet
the increased demand.
Perhaps the public does not

years ago gasoline recovery from

neither was then developed to
any general commercial extent.

new forms of gasoline recovery

that without them the gasoline
