Keith Ann Pennington
and Brooke Johns.

The fact that Ann Pennington is
bir .ayorite in Washington was
Droyed last night at keiths When
fnat playhouse was crowded IN every
part. the little lady heaalhs piIa hs 9

while she does not look day oioer
than she did when she hrSt appeareu
with the "Follies." she has undount-
edly improved as dancer. MISS
Pennington's side partner, ae 6tpons
Johns, helps out with songs, dances
and banjo playing, but the main at
traction is little Ann. Jazz songs
and dances of all descriptions are
offered and as it is well sustained
fact that vaudeville patrons dearly
love that sort of thing, the couple
had little trouble recording sue
cess. Curtain calls were numerous
pnd three immense baskets OF now
ers and large floral horseshoe were
passed over the footlights from their
Washington friends. The lights had
to be lowered finally to allow the
show to proceed.
Another act that shared honors
with the topliners is that of Allan
Rogers and Lenora Allen, both sing
ers of ability. who had little trouble
gaining encores, as they are big
favorites in this city. Their act has
been improved through elaborate
stage settings for the different songs
presented and although both have
appeared on the concert stage, they
],now that popular up-to-date songs
are the best, and they were given
renditions in a manner seldom heard
through voices of the caliber pos
sessed by this pair. 1t only needed
Miss Allen to appear in the big hoop
skirt creation of long ago and sing
Dixie to set the house afre with
enthusiasm.

Shubert-Belasco-"Early to

Where the title comes in is more
Or less a guess, unless bed is the

Mixing typically cosmopolitan

plcntifully with dasheS of love, puppy

ForeteIling Earthquakes

An eminent student of earth vibra-
ton claims to have perfected most
delicate apparatus, whereby earth
quakes are announced at least 10 min
utes before they occur He also claims
to be able with very slight possibility
of error to locate beforehand the cen
tiers of telluric phenomena (that Is
effects within the earth), their inten-
sity and the situation of their most In
tense manifestation.
This scientists telluric prophecies
for last March, which were deposited
with a notary some time in advance
of the expected disturbances, were
completely and accurately confirmed
by subsequent events. He declares

Shreveport, La. has found new
use for junked motor cars. The
Red river is cutting away its banks
and threatens valuable industrial
property. Construction of permanent
protective dykes has been delayed by
high water. In the pinch, according
to the Engineering News-Record, tenn
porary relief has been secured by sink
ing 1000 discarded motor cars to hold
the bank from being washed away.
The motor car bodies were hauled
to the point along the bank where
they were to be submerged by 20-mule
teams and thrown in water 20 to 40
feet deep. Where there was danger
of their floating away they were filled
with rock and sunk. Some Of the
cars which, during their lifetime were
devoted to joy riding, are at last ac-
complishing useful purpose Science

Many Of the old Hawaiian customs
are being discarded; but surf-riding
and surf-canoeing are as popular today
as ever they were.
Hawaiian serenaders often wander
down the beaches and street. playing
and singing in the inimitable Hawaiian
way. Tileaving, or toboganning down
grassy slopes on slick leaves is anoth-
er thoroughly Hawaiian custom. Lu-
as. or Hawaiian feasts; and hukilaus.
or pulling in the great fish nets. are
often arranged for the edification of
the. visitors.
No prettier or more touching custom
may be witnessed than that of placing
Ieis, or wreaths Of flowers, around the
necks of arriving or departing rel
atives or friends.
These are practically the only dis
tinctly Hawaiian customs remaining in
general use today.F. NJ Halton In

PROBLEM PUT BEFORE
BRITISH LEGAL MIND
rs Golf Club a Firearna, In
the Lar0's Eyes?

British lawyers and law interpreters
having decided that cat travelling on
a railway train in England is iegany
a dog. that a rabbit similarly Journey
ing Is also a dog and that a TURKEY
on route on The cars is snake, are
now asked to exercise their inteliecls
over the true definition of goiI Daii'
the New York Times states.
A breath-stopping, hair-raislng ques-
ton has arisen in the British courts.
Is golf club, legally speaking
firearm, and is golf ball missile
fred by that firearm?
The question has been referred 70
Mr.. Wheatley, minister OF heaith III
the British Labor cabinet, some one
having ascertained that in the mys-
terious processes Of his majesty's gov
eminent the task of pronouncing upon
golf balls is the proper business Oh Tue
health minister. Mr.. Wheatley is
probably the only person In London
not fully appreciatiye of the humor OF
the situation.
1t was this way: New golf Inks
had been laid out in the parish OF
Cowley to meet the Oxford under
graduate demand for the game, for
which there is not adequate provision
In the university town. Those design
ing the course intended that players
should drive from a certain green to-
ward another green across a public
footpath. At this point the parish OF
Cowley rose up in alarmed protest.
The proper authorities brought the
matter to the attention of the ministry
of health and demonstrated vigorously,
pointing out the danger to public neaitn
of driving golf balls across a right OF
way. The ministry, to its relief, dis
covered that there existed no statute
in the law books of England empower
ing a local authority to forbid the pro-
pulsion of golf balls across public
paths, and so informed the embattled
parish of Cowley.
But the parish of Cowley, moi. to De
bilked of justice in that lofty manner,
undertook a little legal research OF
its own and learned that the firearms
act made it unlawful for any person to
"drive OF propel any missile across
highway" And the Cowleyites accord
ingly invoked the firearms act in pro-
lection of their rights as Britons.
Nor we're they satisfied with that on
slaught on the new golf course They
went still further into the archives and
dragged out from the dusty cobwebs
an ancient ordinance, enacted about
the time OF Robin Hood, prohibiting
Oxford undergraduates from carrying
bows and arrows"
Back to the minister of health the
question comes again, and that much
bothered secretary must now decide
whether or not golf club is weapon

Animal Feuds Spring
From Various Causes

That animals carry on feuds with
otter animals is fact known to nat
ural history authorities; but most ami
mails are prone to avoid hostilities that
win lead to nothing but wounds.
Most creatures fully comprehend
their own powers and those of others
capable of infiicting injury, and they
are unwilling to risk possible hurt or
even engage In violent effor; to little
purpose. Thus, declares a writer In
the Scientific American, the puma and
the bears, though undoubtedly possess
ing a hatred for each other due to
their seeking similar game, hold
truce rarely If ever broken.
Feuds between different species, one
or both OF which threaten the safety
of the others young, are not uncom-
mon, and this is the chief cause OF
such hatreds as exist between the
wildcat and the wolf, the mink and the
fox, the raccoon and the weasels. The
enmity that the crow displays toward
the hawks is an example, and 1t shows
also by the suspicion with which all
herbivora regard members OF the
larger felines and CANNES
Among the reptiles certain feuds
exist that are more difficult to explain;
such is the king snakes desire to de-
stroy all poisonous and some nom
venomous species larger and seemingly
more powerful than itself, says Lon
don Tit-Bits Nor Is 1t understood why
the rattlesnake shows a readiness to
infiict Its horribly aggressive defense
upon dogs, cats, larger birds and hui
mans, and regards withs indifference
the nearness of horses and cattle, un-
less trodden upon. Its enmfty for the
hog Is natural enough.
1t may seem strange also, consider
ing the small intelligence with which
we credit reptiles in general, that the
skunk and some snakes readily dis
tinguish from carniYorous animals deer
and cattle to feed upon the flies that
they attract.

Cedar From East Africa

East Africa has replaced the United
States as a source of supply of cedar
for the Nuremberg pencil industry.
This German industry, which cen
tiers here, has fully recovered from the
after effects of the war; and in trade
circles it is reported the manufacturers
have enough foreign orders on hand
to keep the plants In full operation for
many months.
Both the cedar and graphite fol
pencils are imported, the main graphite
supply being found In Siberia. Pre-
yious to 1914, the cedar was imported
principally from America and the West
Indies, but the war upset the old cham
mel of trade, and new fields in East
Africa have been developed. Ri54
