based upon repeated en-
counters with these spotted beasts over
a period of many years.
Up to the beginning Of the World War
had killed more than so leopards and
! have disposed OF a good many since
the war ended. Most of these were shot
from elephants, others were killed as l
went on foot into their native haunts
and a few were ridden down and
speared. This last method is highly
exciting, with great risk to rider and
horse.

Z. Akeley, OF the American Museum
Of Natural History. has written:
a leopard IS cat and has all the
qualities that gave rise 10 the nine

sot to kill him clear to the tip of his
tail. Added to that, a leopard, unlike
a lion, is Yindfctiye. A wounded

I'm spite of their fighting qualities,

because the leopard has always
seemed 10 me Il snealling kind OF
animal, and also perhaps because he
will eat carrion.
This last characteristic makes the
spotted animal especially dangerous.
Wounds inflicted by a leopard's teeth
and claws ere extremely poisonous,
and unless treated with strong dis

blood dpoisouing. The claws have
grooves that retain the flesh in a

BONUS TO VETERANS
GOING OUT RAPIDLY
Bureau Mailing Certificates of Ad.
justed Compensation at Rate
of 10000 Daily.

The Veterans Bureau continued to-
day it's huge task of preparing and
mailing adjusted compensation GER
tificates to veterans of the World War
or their beneficiaries at the rate of
about 10000 daily.
1t had been expected in some quar-
ters that the first certificate to be
presented by a beneficiary of a vet
eran who had died might have come
to the bureau this morning. Officials
at noon, however, said that there had
been no claims presented as yet. Five
or six hundred letters are on file, it
was explained, from persons who said
that veterans had named them as
beneficiaries
The first group of certificates mailed
shortly after midnight New Year eve
were thought to have contained some
for Washingtonians. If so there was
no doubt in the mind Of officials that
the first World War bonus certificate
was now il the hand of some one in
Washington.
In the case of veterans who have
died and to whom certificates have
been issued officials explained that
the beneficiaries should present proof
of death of the veterans, together with
their substantiated claim that they
are the beneficiaries. Upon presenta-
tion of such evidence. it was said, the
cash will be paid over at the Veterans
Bureau.

PROBE OF TRAFFIC
F.. RESUMES MONDAY
Joint Congress Committee
Again to Consider Problems
Relating to District.

Discussion of traffic conditions in
the National Capital by the joint
District committee of the House and
Senate will be resumed Monday IN
the Senate District committee room.
Judge Cobb of New York and DR..
John A. Harriss, a noted traffic eX-
pert, also of New York, are expected
to appear and give their views on
traffic regulation.
On Tuesday the joint committee
will hear from Bureau of Standards
experts who will give the latest data
on headlight illumination, one of the
most important items to be taken up.
Program for Wednesday.
Wednesday. the joint session will
discuss all District legislation. which
IS not of controversial nature, with
a view to accomplishing as much as
possible in the short session.
Copies of the tentative bill drawn
up for traffic regulation here have
been sent to both Judge Cobb and Dr.
Harriss, who We're invited to appear
before the committee at the instance
of Senator Copeland of New York.
Judge Cobb has handled thousands of
traffic cases in the courts of New
York. while DR.. Harriss has attained
an international reputation in the
regulation of traffic. and is an hon
orary deputy commissioner in the
New York Police Department The
committee feels that in the framing
of what it hopes will be a model
traffic law the advice of these men
will be valuable.
Judge Cobb already has written
his acceptance to Senator l.. Heisler
Ball, chairman of the joint committee.
Although nothing has been heard
from DR.. Harriss, it is understood
that he has given Senator Copeland
assurance that nothing would stand
in the way of his appearance.
Clause Relating TO Headlights.
The clause in the bill relating to
headlights is expected to be entirely
rewritten after the testimony of Bu
reau of Traffic experts. The bill, as
1t now stands, provides only that
headlights must be visible 200 feet
in advance of the car. that approved
lens must be used, and that no dim
ming of lights is allowed in the city.
No provision is made for tilt,
height, candlepower and focusing of
lights, such as is incorporated in
States where pretensions are made
for headlight regulation. This will
be corrected, it is understood, so that
the model law will adequately cover
what is admitted to be one of the
worst evils of night motoring.

T0RNADOES KILL 1929
IN u. S. In EIGHT YEARS
Damage Estimated at $62, 900, 900
for Period-Arkansas Has
Largest Number.

Tornadoes in the United States dur
Ing the eight years ending with 1928
caused the loss of 1929 lives and the
destruction of more than $50, 10000
worth of property. These figures
were reported in paper prepared for
the sessions of the American Meteoro-
logical Society today by Fl. c. Hunter
of the United States Weather Bureau.
Although tornadoes seem to be in
creasing as compared with earlier
records, particularly in the central
and western portions of the cotton
belt, this may be due, Mr.. Hunter
said. to greater accuracy in report
ing.
More "twisters" were reported in
Arkansas than any other State, 76
having occurred there during the
eight-year period. Those having more
than 80 were Kansas, Texas, Iowa
Missouri and Oklahoma. The total
number for the whole country was
752.

Mrs. J. F. Potts, of fredericksburg

CURED when Tyler Coombs, driving

PUBLICITY OF DELINQUENT
INCOME TAXABLES OPPOSED
J. w. Herring And Other Collectors
Think Little Good Accomplished

Income tax publicity has had lit
tie or no effect in increasing reve-
nue. by causing persons who might
otherwise eVade payment, to file re-
turns and pay, in the opinion of
Collector John w. Herring, who ex-
pressed this view of the matter in
response to QUESTIONABLE sent out
to a number of collectors of inter-
nal revenue in various sections of
the country by the New York Times.
According to the replies received
by the Times, many of the officials
interrogated share the same views
as Mr.. Herring, whose answer reads
as follows:
Replying to your telegram re-
garding the income tax publicity law
resulting in the publication of names
and income tax payments last year
in the district of Delaware, it has
had no perceptible influence on tax
collections this year. There is no
evidence that publicity has induced
payment by delinquents of previous
years in this district and no indica-
ton that our returns have been more
satisfactory from the governments
standpoint as the result of the pub
licity provision of the law.
up to the present time this Of
ice has had but few requests to in
spect assessment lists, and those re-
quests have come almost entirely
rom business competitors and from
Of newspapers.

STATE DEATH RATE
DECREASED IN 1924
Reduction OF Measles Fatalities
From 25 to Accounts for Difference

A considerable decrease in the
death rate for Delaware is shown
in statistics from the Bureau of the
Census, Department of Commerce,
for 1924 That for last year, 1926
per 100000 population, is compared
with 1401 in 1928. The department
stated that the decrease was large
ly accounted for by decreases in the
rate from measles, from 25 to 4,
pneumonia 80 to 20, and nephritis
from 148 to 1877.
Diseases of the heart increased
slightly, when the figures for 1923
show the total number of fatalities
were 450 as against 473 in 1924. A
slight increase is reported in fatal
tiles from pneumonia when last year
the total was 246 as against 341 in
1928. The number of deaths due to
increased from 263 in
1928 to 266 in 1924.
Cancers and other malignant tu-
mors increased from 1856 in 1928 to |
218 in 1924. Cerebral hemorrhages
and softening also showing a slight
increase from 280 in 1928 to 287 last
year.
Diseases of the heart showed the
highest per cent per 100000 popula-
ion last year, which was 203.4 as
against 1858 in 1923. The total
number of deaths in the state last
7ear, from all causes, was 3015, as
with 1929 in 1928.

WASHINGTON LOOKS
LIKE FLAG WINNERS
Athletics Have Slipped And Are
Practically Out OF The Running

Washington now looks almost as
much of certain pennant winner in
the American League as the Pitts
burgh Pirates seem sure champions
in the National League.
The Pirates are leading the New
York Giants by eight and a half
games in the National League and
the champion Senators ran up their
lead to five and a half games when
they overwhelmed the young Phila-
delphia Athletics in the second game
of the series that may decide the
pennant Wednesday.
The Senators haven't as much
ground to lose as the Pirates can
afford to drop, of course, but in the
first game Of this crucial series the
worlds champions looked at least
three games better than the Ath-
letics from scratch. 1t is not safe to
hazard a guess on the form shown
in one game but there was enough
shown by the Senators to
make it safe to plunge a prediction
that they are about in with the pen
nant.
Notwithstanding the slump in !
which the Athletics find themselves,
Milford fans are still roofing for
them. This is evidenced by the fact
hat &C tickets for the Labor Day
games have been bought by local
nen who will attend the games next
Monday.

NO JAPANESE BEETLES
FOUND ON STATE PEACHES
Inspectors Say Delaware Fruit Is
Superior To That From Jersey

Movement of peaches through Del
aware has decreased very materially
this week. The season for Delaware
peaches has practically closed, but
there are few late varieties which
have been going into the city mar
kets this week. With the decline of
the Delaware crop, however, peaches
from New Jersey have been making
their appearance in increasing num-
bers. The Federal Japanese Beetle
Quarantine Station, in Wilmington,
under the direction of w. E. Grams
ton, has been carefully inspecting all
fruit shipped either in or out of the
state.
EVERY crate of peaches which is
either coming into the state or
passing out is being closely inspect
ed," said Mr.. Cranston.
In the opinion of the director, the
chief danger from peaches coming
into Delaware being infested with
beetles lies in supplies from the
Dock street market, Philadelphia.
Although every load received from
New Jersey, by way of the Penn's
Grove ferry, is examined, no beetles
yet have been found.
According to Mr.. Cranston, the
peaches being brought into Della
ware are of a cheaper grade than |
those raised in this state.

PRETTY WEDDING AT
HISTORIC BARRATT'S CHAPEL
Miss Ann Warren Bride OF Clarence
Howard Wednesday Afternoon

Historic Barratt's Chapel, located
just north of Frederick, on the du
Pont Boulevard, was the scene of a
very pretty wedding on Wednesday
afternoon of this week, when Miss
Ann E. Warren became the bride of
Clarence Howard. The bride is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ElwoOd
Warren, of near Magnolia, and the
groom is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.

emony was performed by Rev. B. c.

New York.
Mrs. Howard has resided at Mill
brook, New York, for several years
past where she has been in charge of
community nursing work. Mr.. How
ard is engaged in the dairying busi-
ness on large scale. They chose
Barratt's Chapel as the place in

historic associations and through the
early girlhOOd associations of the |
bride. The wedding on Wednesday
was the first formal wedding to be
held in the chapel in the past twen-
ty-fVe years, though there have been
two or three weddings held in the
church during that time. The officiat-
ing preacher, Rev. Mr.. Warren,
preached his first sermon after be-
ing admitted to the ministry in that
church.
Following the wedding ceremony
