g& housekeeper, it is the time
of spring cleaning. which
now approaches. The house wife
who is at all systematic manages
to get through her general run of
work without much trouble. But
even the housewife who boasts
that she "lets her head save her
heels" will welcome few hints at
this time.
There are still many housewives
who dread the seasonal cleaning
and perhaps the other members of
the family dread 1t even more. It
means that the house has to be in
a chaotic state for a week or two.
But modern household inventions
and the increase Of facilities for
doing so much Of the work outside
make 1t possible for the housewife
to get through this cleaning with.

The little miss last week was return. ing alone to her home from the Lost Pond school which she attends, she having been kept in for whispering for some time after the regular daily session was concluded, her lit tie brother and sisters having de- parted without awaiting her.
 Pocahontas had proceeded about half of the three miles from the schoolhouse to the Laughing Horse domicile and was crossing small tributary to the Skull when she was attacked by drove of enraged jack rabbits, which were hunting in the vicinity. Her failure to arrive home with the other children was at once noticed by tie young pet wild cat, which the teacher had forbid den her to bring to school and the cat started out along the trail to the schoolhouse to meet her. He had gone about a half mile from the house, evidently, when the little girl was attacked by the giant hares and her cries of terror as with stick she attempted to beat off the fero- cious pack, must have reached his keen ears, for just as the girl had thrown away her stick and was at- tempting to climb a tree, the cat landed amid the beasts which were trying to pull her down.
 The rabbits immediately turned their attention to the cat and only acknowledged defeat and made off after he had killed several Of them.
 Residents of the vicinity are un- able to account for the strange ac- tion of the rabbits, which usually are peaceable enough, unless they had been driven to eating the poi sonous loco plants along the creek when the heavy snows covered up their other sources of food supply.

Danzig Is Larger Than
 Some American States

DANZIG, March 4.-The Free City of Danzig, which is battling against the attempt of Polish authorities to encrOach upon the independence granted it under the Versailles treaty, is errOneously called a free city. It is in reality free state. It's area is 754 square miles of land and exten- sive water areas embracing great ship ping basins and highly developed can- als which make it the best harbor on the Baltic, the center of an immense grain, sugar and lumber trade.
 Danzig is seven-tenths the size of Rhode Island and has population of ,OOO-that is as many people as there are in the state of Vermont or New Mexico. The so-called city has 12 times the area of the District of Columbia and about five times as many inhabitants as Nevada.
 It was one of the most important cities of the Hanseatic League and it's buildings of the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are gems of gothic art which attract artists and architects from all over the world. Snch great ships as the Columbus, of the North German Lloyd, and many other big liners in the Atlantic trade, were built in the shipyards at Danzig It is highly industrialiZed center, thoroughly German in it's culture and traditions, over 90 per cent of the pop ulation being of German blood
 Besides the city of Danzig with a population of nearly 100000 the terri tory includes Zoppot the largest sea resort on the Baltic, and score of small cities and towns ranging in size from 10000 to 5000.

cording to estimates furnished by Col. c. M. Hoffman, Corps of En- gineers, U. s. A., in charge of the Gulf division. Administration forces in Congress compromised with $9,- 000,000, which will construct that part of the canal reaching from New Orleans across the great sugar-cane and salt mine territory in Southern Louisiana to Beaumont, Galveston and Houston, the center of the great oil refining industry and rice growing district
 Included in the vast amount of coastwise inland shipping expected to result from the building of the canal will be the product from one Texas and Louisiana sulphur mines, about 100000 tons annually.
 Lumber Industry to Benefit.
 The large lumber industry, of East Texas, both pine and hardwood, is included in the products which will benefit from the cheaper transpor- tation to be afforded with the all water route to St. Louis and the East. The great cattle industry of Texas also will feel the effects of the canal in that Houston will be the rail terminus for shipments to Eastern points.
 The intracoastal canal was the dream of c. s. E. Holland, Hous- tonian, who first conceived the idea 20 years ago.

RUNAWAY INDIAN GIRL
 ENDS HER LONG HIKE:
 A SECOND PAAVO NURMI
SHE MAKES HER WAY ON FOOT ACROSS THE STATE OF kAN- sAs TO A TRIBE LOCATED IN OKLAHOMA.

RULO, Neb., Mar. 4.-Cora Duauis 16-year-old Indian girl, crossed the Nemaha River on the ice recently like Liza in Uncle Toms Cabin" and then, throwing away her shoes, outran the officers, who were after her, and walked all the way across the tate of Kansas and got to her tribe down in Oklahoma where she Is now resting"
 Cora had been in the Kansas h. dustrial School but escaped from that institution three or four months ago and came to an Indian reservation little way from Rulo. The Kansas officials found where Cora was hiding and came up after her. Henry Bell was leader of the officers
 Cora and white girl friend were found living in a shack on the after them. As Bell came in the back door, the girls ran out the front. Bell essayed to follow and was met by an Indian with a big gun in his hand.
 Halted by an Indian
 You stick 'em up," grunted the Indian.
 Bell grabbed his gun and got three bullets through his hand. Then Bell stuck 'em up," as he had been commanded to do. The Indian took Bells pistol and got away before Bells friends could come to his rescue.
 Meanwhile the two girls were headed south and running like

deer. The posse took out after the two girls. They expected the girls to stop when they reached the Nemaha River, about half a mile from the house. The girls stopped, but only for a moment. The river was running full of ice. The girls got right down to business, climbed out on the ice cakes and, picking their way, made the opposite bank. Then they took to the timber
 The officers came down to town, crossed the river on the bridge, and went back to where the girls had crossed They found the trail in the snow and were soon playing hide-and-seek in the timber with the girls.
 White Girl Soon Caught
 The white girl, being only a sprinter, was soon tired out and was captured But when the off, CSIS SOt JuC SlII Oul III luS open and away from the timber, she reverted to her aboriginal self, threw off her shoes, discarded that portion of her clothes which inter- fered with her movements, and in a couple of minutes was running like a deer toward Oklahoma and the tribe, 400 miles away.
 The white officers simply were not "in it. with the Indian girl, who soon left them far behind and out of sight.
 Advices from Oklahoma are that Cora has shown up down there and that the officers can have her by coming after her. They say she made the entire distance on foot. Officers are not going after her. They say she can keep her freedom if she'll just keep away from this part of the country.

Stadium at Palo Alto Also to
Have New Team
Houses

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, June
Stanford will add 10000 seats
10 the Stadium at PaIo Alto before
the football game with the Univer-
sity OF California next November.
Doctor ;. M Williams, president Of
the board of athletic control, an
nounced definitely here. The con.
tract. let today to Palmer and Me-
Bride. of San Francisco, builders Of
the present Stanford bowl, calls for
new team houses. rest rooms, ex-
cavating for new baseball dia-
n1Ond and other improvements
about the stadium grounds, as well
as construction OF new seats, md
calls for an expenditure Of just
above $500, 900.
The Stanford Stadium now seats
approximately $4,000. The 10000
seats will be added at the south
end Of the bowl, while another 1000
in box seats next to the stadium
rail will likely be built in before
November, so that 1000 persons
in all may be able to see the Text
big game at Stanford
The present open end Of the sta
dunn will be partially closed. the
west side embankment will be con-
tinued around the open end, past
the scoreboard. and almost TO the
straight4way of the running track.
This. With one section added to
the east side embankrnent. will allow.
the 0,2O0 new seats. Five new
sections are called for.
The ground level tunnels will be
built under the new embankment
at the present open end. Two team
houses to accommodate forty men
each will be erected near the
straightaway. Six rest rooms at
convenient points will be built.
Almost one-half of the $500 900
outlay is required for the improve
nTents outside of the additional
seats. The present bowl at Stan
ford was built for $4,000. A new
fourteen:foot border outside the
present stadium fence, the shifting
of the road tangent to the north
end and new landscaping are called
for in the contract let today.
The time. as essence of the con-
tract" requires completion of all
new improvements before NoVen1-
Der 81. the date of the next Cali
fornia Stanford football game.
The construction plan announced
today Is somewhat less in proper
tion than that contemplated by the
board of control in January, when
it was thought that 10000 seats
might be added. The Stanford au-
thorities, however. did not feel Jus.
titled in assuming the required half
million dollar debt at this time.
The new construction will be in
line with plans for further enlarge

kick. They wanted to play off
Mondays game yesterday, hoping
to take advantage TO the lack of
starting pitchers with the cham
pions. Can't blame, 'em for that.
But there is no rule or regulation
in the league compelling the
Washington club to acqiuese, not
a single one.
Ban Johnson has never been
strong for forfeited games. He's
hardly going to change his tactics
at this late stage. So let's not
get excited.
Where Will Ban Be?
DEFORE ending talk of Ban
Johnson, let's ask a simple
question
Where will Ban Johnson be To-
morrow, when Washington raises
its first world championship BAN
ner unfurIed to the breeze?
If you know the answer why
Ban johnson did not attend the
1924 world series and support the
wonderful rush of the Griffmen
to their first world title, you
know the reply to the above
query.
The Washington club wants no
favors from Ban Johnson. nor
will it be likely to get any, but
the Washington club will insist on
getting a square deal from the
head of the league, whether Ban
Johnson likes it or, Jumps it.
