Orchestra Is Leaderless.

In Russia under the Soviet rule the
uncommon sight of an orchestra play
ing without a leader will be met with
Under this circumstance, it requires
fifty rshearsals for the organization 20
perfect itself in a new number. The
idea is that such an orchestra is more
in line with Soviet principles and gives
unframed musicians an excellent
opportunity for development in
technique and accuracy. A particular
example is the Moscow State
Orchestra.

RABBITS FUR POPULAR

Wellington, New Zealand, Oct, 50
Rl-Modern womans fondness for
furs Is enabling this country to turn
Its rabbit pest into a source OF pro-
fit.
For many years multitudes OF rab-
bits were slaughtered merely to
keep them from destroying the
crops. With the discovery. however
that the rabbits coat could be dyed
and made to look like a more ex-
pensive fur. he became an asset in
stead OF a liability.
Last year 1S,500,o00 rabbit skins
were exported from New Zealand to
the United States and England.
These skins were valued at upwards
Of 100000. Rabbit trapping has
now become a we'll established and
remunerative business.
Tho oppossum is another animal
which New Zealand Is turning into
profit. America takes most OF the
blue and grey opossum skins. The
darker fnrs go largely to Great
Britain.

Where 1t grows In exposed sit

Its mutiIated state, the white spruce
thus stands as a living compass.
Many a trapper avails himself of
Its direction. Where the tree has

(BY BILLY ENANS)

DO you think the veteran Wash ington pitchers can stand up under the strain'
 That 0utstion is constantly fired at me as Washington and Philadelphia continue their mad scramble for the lead in the American league.
 Baseball fans are always with the under dog. Devotees of the na- tional pastmo are peculiar critters. They glory in seeing the champions knocked of.
 Last season as Washington was making it's memorable fight to keep the New York Yankees from win ming four straight pennants, and suc- coeded, the baseball world was pull ing for Washington.
 7andom had nothing in particular against the Tanks. except they had won three ptnnants and there was beginning to be a monotony to world series played in Now York.
 Popularity of Walter Johnson
 In addition, Washington had in it's lineup, the most popular ball player of all time, Walter Johnson. Every body was pulling for him to get q chance in a world series.
 This year. the Philadelphia Ath- letics are in much the same position Washington was last year. The Athletics. tai}enders for so long memory fails. are the sensation of the ajors.
 Connie Mack, notable figure in the game, nearing the end Of his days a9 all active manager, is a prime favorite with ficklo fandom for the Americn league Derby of 1925.
 It seems that the fans in figuring the chances of the Athletics to win the pennant are doping the veteran pitching staff Of the Washington club to blow.
 Veterans Should Stand Strain

I look for the vets of the Washington staff 10 continue their good work IL Is hard 10 believe that Johnson, Rnu- ther and Coyeleskie can continue their uniformly consistent work, but if is reasonable 10 suppose that the opposition will experience plenty ot trouble beating them.
