Duck Billed Platypus.

Whenever you mention the poor
duck billed platypus a laugh goes up.
Those who have seen one laugh, and
those who merely hear the name and
know nothing more laugh too. for
both in name and in fact it seems like
an animal in the comic strip more
than real creature. The duck billed
platypus is a mammal. since it suckles
it's young and has fur, but it lays eggs
like bird or snake, and il has q long
fat bill like Il duck, and tive-tOed
webbed feet, and short tail. The
animal is but Is inches long and
comes from Australia, the land of
missing links. This is certainly the
missing link between mammals, and
reptiles and birds.
Now what do YOU know about that?

and school children very frequently
have stout high shoes. But with the
better-to-do the climate here must
have much to do with the fact that
rubbers are seldom seen.
In Spring and Summer in and about
Paris an entirely rainy day seldom
comes. On the other hand. for weeks
at time may come an interval when
hardly day comes without its more
or less brief showers. Then one would
either have always to go about with
rubberS or never. The Partisan
chooses the latter course. TaXiS are
plentiful, and. even to the Partisan, not
prohibitively dear. If one is out for a
holiday, it is easier to take one, and
cheaper, than spelling pretty clothes.
Besides, one can run to shelter and in
a few minutes the rain may be gone.

when California and other western
gold bearing states produced $780,
100000 in gold. They all laughed at
the thought OF paying as much as
the United States did for Alaska but
the value OF the Alaska products
since the Klondike rush has been
$l,300,00O, 900 of which $375,000. 900
has been in gold and $1SS 100000 has
been in copper. Alaska production
has only started. You are likely to
be derided when you speak of
Alaska as an agricultural possibility
but in Europe, land equivalent in
area, latitude and climatic cOndi-
tions, is producing $3.50, 900, 900 a
year from farms. Alaska is 'one of
the future producing sections of the

CHICt.GO, Oct. 23-Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover declared here last
night that if the 23 nations OF

States in establishing free flow
of trade between themselves; ii
Europe would then establish free
trade relations with the rest OF the
world, the purpose of the recent
manifesto, in which the interna-
tional bankers advocated removal OF
trade barriers, would be accom-
plished.
Secretary Hoover said the mani
festo cannot be directed with any
logic at the United States because
in five years. since the enactment
of the present tariff, American i'm
ports from Europe increased 54 pei
cent and exports to Europe increas.
ed only 13 per cent.
I'm the face of this increase, II
can scarcely be contended that oul
tariff is destroying European trade
There is a good deal of misunder-
standing in Europe and elsewhere
about the trade barriers on trade
with the United States" said the
Secretary.
I'm the first instance, we have
no discriminatory railroad rates ant
no subsidies We make no stipu
lations that the money we loan mus
