The Deadly Drink.

They've planted J. Josepl1us Jinks,
we ne'er shall see him more; he
bought himself illicit drinks at Bat
wings Bootleg Store. l often
warned him when we met to shun
the bootleg graft; l said, Your
craw is always wet with beakers
you have quaffed; you've had a
wondrous run of luck, which cannot
last alway, and in the undertaker''s
truck you'll ride, upon a day" He
said, my works are copperlined,
they bear guarantee; there is no
liquor, you will find, can put crimp
in me. Let sissy men avoid the gin
and walk the templar's road; they're
lined with cheaper grades of tin that
liquor might corrode. / do not like
to see the young their time to booze
devote, but l have whiskers on my
tongue, asbestos in my throat" He
made that day his daily trek, and
poured some booze inside, then
wound his legs around his neck and
yelled three times and died. And
other wights may wot and wist that
they have copper hues, but human
works can't long resist the poisoned
bootleg booze.

VOLCANO DESCRIBED
BY SEISMIC EXPERT
Dr.. T. A. Jaggar Warns of Con-
gested Cities in United
States. ..
NOT IMMUNE FROM QUAKE
Urges Institute for Study Of Such
Conditions.

The need for great scientific
institute for study OF volcanoes,
earthquakes and urban conditions
with a view to relieving. the highly
congested areas in the large cities
of this country. was urged by Dr.
r: A. Jaggar. director of the Ha-
waiian volcano observatory. at a joint
meeting Of the Washington Academy
of Sciences the Geological Society
and the Philosophical Society Of
Washington in the auditorium. OF
the Interior building last night.
Dr.. Jaggar spoke on THE Ha-
waiian Volcanoes" and "The Toxic
Earthauake" He has been stationed
in Hawaii for thirteen years. making
studies of volcanic activity, ana mas
compiled number of volumes or
his observations. He said that
volcano Is hotter at it's surface than
at It's greatest depth.
Research has brought out that
when the lava in a volcano begins to
recede is the more dangerous period
of its activity, for with its sinking
the pressure on the gases beneath is
so intense that they explode. thus
shooting ou: the lava.
Frequency OF Volcanoes.
The measured period between VOL
cantc frequency Is known to be about
nine years. he said. and research has
shown that earthquakes and rolca-
noes go together.
DR.. Jaggar's description of the
horrors created by the earthquake In
Toxic was illustrated by motion pic
ture:.
Auto Tanks Explode.
The automobile congestion in
Yokohama was the cause of much
ross at this point, he said. because
each machine had It's tank of gaso-
line which took It's turn at explod-
ing, throwing the. oil in all direc-
tions.
DR.. Jaggar said there is no GER
tainty that any of the large inland
cities are immune to earthquake es
and the congested conditions every
where existing are cause for concern.
He said the appalling loss of life and
property damage in Toxic could have
been alleviated somewhat had the re
been a more thorough understanding
Of conditions incident to earth
quakes.

to the Big River would quite as likely as not be to swim right into danger from those terrible guns. Jerry Musk rat overheard them talking.
 Take my advice and stay right here" said he. No hunters with ter rible guns ever come here. They never in the wide world will think of looking for you here. If you don't stay you will be fOolish.'
 1T guess Jerry is right" said Mir. Quack. Il don't see anything else to do. 1 cant fly. and I'm not very strong yet, though since I've had sOme- thing to eat I feel great deal better. If any hunters do come, you can fly away, my dear, and I'll hide under the bank of the Laughing Brook where the alder bushes hang over. l hope Jerry is right and no hunter will come, for 1 like the Smiling Pool
 Just then sammy Jay came flying over to see how Mir. and Mrs. Quack were. He perched in the top of the Big Hickory tree, and when he found out what thy were talking about he advised them just as Jerry Muskrat had. Sud- denly he stopped talking and looked far across the Green Meadows. Il de- CldEe, SdM Hc, ucikCNC dLhck Browns Boy is coming over here to bring you some breakfast"
 Instantly Mrs. Quack was in ter rible fright. There is nothing to be afraid of," said Sammy. He hasn't got a gum
 But this didn't relieve Mrs. Quack q bit. She hurried Mir. Quack up into the Laughing Brook and saw him safely hidden. Then she swan back to the Smiling Pool and there rose into the air on her stout wings and headed to- ward the Big River. Farmer Brown s Boy saw her.
 ''That duck certainly is wild," said he to himself. II thought perhaps I could steal near enough to have a good look at her, it being so early in the morning. I thought l might catch, her at breakfast" Then he saw Sammy Jay and he knew who had warned Mrs. Quack.

Reddy Fox knows when other people are too smart for him. Just as soon as he saw that Mrs. Quack was taking the greatest care not to swim too near the shore of the Smiling Pool or to allow Mir. Quack to, he knew that she was wise in the ways of the Great World; too wise to let her stomach steal away her brains, as the saying is when people allow the pleasure of eat ing to make them needless and careless. He saw that Mir. and Mrs. Quack were having splendid dinner, and this made | i: all the harder for him. You know there is nothing which can make you more uncomfortable than to see some one else eating when you are very hun gry yourself and have nothing. There they were just out of reach, and he kLew by the way they acted that they meant to keep out of reach. They didn't know he was there. Of this he was sure. But presently he was equal ly sure that they didn't intend to take any risks.
 Still he remained hidden, hoping that for just a little minute one of them might forget and be careless. At last

TREND OF FASHION
~ HELEN MERRILL EMERv

For all the boldness of their de- signs the new woolens are in perfect taste and in their two-tones or sharply contrasted effects are ad- mirably adapted to the shorter length topcoat which the modern woman considers absolutely essen tial to a we'll planned wardrobe.
 They have the advantage of be- ing light in weight and at the same time are sufficiently warm, two qualities which alone would account for their popularity.
 For the resorts number of coats have been made up in stunning white and black effects, but those in neutral tones of fawn and gray are perhaps wiser choice fc< im- mediate wear.
 The slight flare that is feature of several of these coats gives a youthful lihe that is immensely talk ing.
 A coat tkat gives a very good idea of the prevailing mode in top coats is shown in the illustration. The material is medium weight wool which has fine lines of darker gray on light gray surface. Par ticularly interesting is the collar with it's tiny band of squirrel.
 The hat of black taffeta has for trimming large nail heads of steel and the upturned brim proclaims it's recent origin. These nail heads in various sizes are used to trim many of the newest hats and the effect is remarkably attractive.

"Take my advice and stay right here" said he.
 they swan over among the broken down bulrushes where the Black Shadows lay deepest. He couldn't see them. but he could hear them saying good-night to each other in low voices. Then all was still, save for the joyous chorus of the Hylas singing in the Smiling Pool, Mir. and Mrs. Quack had gone to bed for the night, and they were where Reddy could not get them.
 Reddy sighed. It was soft little sigh of disappointment, so soft that no one heard it. Then, as carefully as he had crept to his hiding place, he stole away. He didn't want any one to know that he had been there. You see, he meant to come again the next night. He hadn't given up hope that sooner or later he would dine on Mir. O. Mrs. Quack. But if they should sus- pect that he had been there that night they would always be watching for him to come back. So he took just as much care in leaving the Smiling Pool as he had in coming to it. When he felt that he could do so safely he trotted swiftly across the Green Meadows in the direction of the Green Forest to see what he could find there. As for Mir. and Mrs. Quack, they slept peacefully side by side among the rushes of the Smiling Pool all the night.
 They were awake very early the next morning, for Mir. and Mrs. Quack are very early risers. After breakfast they began to talk over what they should do. The smiling Pool was such an open place that the very thought of staying there all day made them very nervous. But Mr. Quack couldn't fly because of the broken wing, broken, you remember, by shot from terrible gun. and to swim down the Laughing Brook
