RYDER WAREHOUSE IS DESTROYED BY
 DANGEROUS BLAZE

Fire famed by stiff breeze and fed by large quantity of lubricating oils and other inflam- mable products swept away the big warehouse on the lower ena of the Hyder Dock Company an'l endangered the nearby 10000 g IL lon gasoline storage tank of the Standard Oil Company, according to reports received here recently.
 The blaze, believed to have been caused by a defective flue, was not discovered until it was well under way, and although many volunteer firemen appeared, few attempts were made to extln- guish the blaze because of g cases of dynamite and some blast ing caps stored in the warehouse. Fortunately the dynamite did not explode, but burned, and when the danger of explosion was pass ed, the fire was extinguished.
 The total loss is estimated by officials as between $6,000 and $7,0O0, only portion of whicl was covered by insurance. Tue warehouse and small buildings were a total loss.

 Duisberg about year ago took trip via the United States to Japan. He became infatuated with the civilization prevailing in the land of cherry blossoms, and returned with many Japan csc souvenirs.
 His Cologne palace, the envy of many of his friends, no longer satisfied him. He decided he would perfer, in summer at least, to live in a genuine Japanese house with thin paper walls and many colored parasols.

HORSE FLESH
 FASTER NOW
 THEN OF OLD


 CHICAGO, Jan 21.-Within a period of a little more than thirty years the speed of thoroughbred race horses in America has .n- creased almost four seconds to the mile.
 But compare Handy Mandy, Mike Hall, Dot, Whisk Broom II, and Cherry Pie, some of the pres ent day horses that are holders of American records, with Ten Broeck, Mollie McCarty, Kingston, Salvador, Fircnzi,a Modesty. Miss Woodward, Dick Wells. Freeland and other stars back through the years and most old turfmen will say the horses O. way back were the better thoroughbreds.
 From 1895 to 1927 the American records have been broken at every distance from a half mile up 10 two miles. The greatest increase in speed has been shown at the distance of mile and a quarter. Five full seconds have been clip ped off that mark since 1895. It is at this distance that a great many of the important stakes have been decided within the last ten years.
 A mania for speed and more speed has caused this remarkable development in thoroughbred rae ing.
 More scientific methods in breeding have helped increase the speed.
 More scientific methods in track building have given the thorough breds better courses over which to run.
 A change in the riding style of American jockeys from an erect boise in the saddle to the crouch ing, kicking, hand riding system made famous by Tod Sloan, has helped horses get more speed out of their racing efforts.

Says Columbus
 Returned to His Wife in Spain

LONDON, gan. 21. Christo- pher Columbus did not stay in America because his wife was not with him, it was suggested here by Lady Astor who was put ting In a good word for wives generally.
 "The more I see of men, the more I believe in women,' Lady Astor observed at a dinner of the Three Towns Association.
 "As for those famous pioneers of history we have heard about. they would not have stayed a week in other countries if their ives had not been with them. a' Why did not Columbus settle in America? Because he had not got his wife along with him.
 T am an unrepentant believer in women. If you are to stop wars women must stop them. Men have too much rubbish in their minds about patriotism and war and that sort of thing, and they may on that account bring about the ruin of the world"

vampire in "A Fool There Was, screened in 1915 from the stags adaptation of Kipling's famous poem.
 "In all essentials" said Mis- Bara, the screen sirens of today follow the same method that made my characterizations popr lar. Only the incidentals have altered: The hats and gowns with which the vamp heightens her lure, the way she dresses her hair, and perhaps a few other de tails"
 The importance of these detaill tends to be exaggerated when one thinks of the vamp of seven or eight years ago, the originator of this type of screen role went on to explain, but a few years from now similar details will dis tort ones judgment of the vams of 1928.
 Naturally no woman could look stylishly wicked now in a 1917 wardrobe. And few years from now the wife who sees a 1928 model vamp on the screen will wonder how such a quaint crea ture could hope to wreck homes Whoever heard of successful .homelwrecker whose wardrobe was out of date?
 Film fans who remember Theda Bara only as she was, in her wick edest screen moments may be re lieved to learn she lives quite the opposite of vampirish life today In her charmingly comfortable Beverly Hills home it is hard tc imagine her as the heartless screen siren whose devastatine power over men thrilled picture. goers to the core and worried screen censors in proportion.
 She might be the wife of a prosperous merchant or banker her appearance suggests thc graceful hostess rather than tue menace" of the party. As mat ter of fact, her husband is a mo- tion picture director-Charles Bra bin.

 The visitors stop dead in their tracks, fix their amazed gaze on the vice president, and he hurries into the senate through a battery of eyes and exclamations.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 21.-- In the wake of the much discuss. ed safety" ruling recently which gave the Notre Dame football team victory over Southern Cali fornia, two incidents that were as debatable in their way as the one at Chicago are recalled at Michigan.
 One gave the Yost men victory, and the other cost them pos. sible tie. The more famous was in 1907 in game with Pennsyl- vapia. The Quakers had hung up 60 lead, when late in the game Wasmund, Michigan quarterback, called for Yost's new play--a triple forward pass.

 Schultz then passed the ov&l back to Wasmund, who in turn tossed it on line to Allerdice al the left, and the latter followed up the maneuver with a long heave to Captain Magoffin. The Michigan leader pulled the ball out of the air and ran 35 yards to a touchdown. The Quakers didn't know what it was all about Officials called the ball back and called the play off as illegal Later Yost was vindicated when in meeting of the rules commit tee the play was declared legal.
