Holds Burial Service
Over Amputated Limb

Warsaw.-All Warsaw has been
startled by the recent funeral cere-
mony conducted in connection with
the burial of the amputated leg of a
seventy-year-old Jew, Chill Weinberg,
who was himself the most Interested
spectator. The old man was so CRATE
full for the success Of the operation
for the removal of his limb, that he
did not wish the amputated member
to be destroyed, but instead, preserved
it in alcohol. After several months
in the hospital, where the leg was
also kept, Weinberg was able to leave
for his home.
He had not forgotten the leg, how
ever, and a few days later arrived to
convey it from the hospital to the
Jewish cemetery, where grave had
been prepared. In the cemetery office
where a special tub had been pre-
pared, the limb was taken from alco-
hol, washed in accordance with Jew
ish rites, enveloped in white linen,
placed upon miniature bier, and
covered with black cloth.
The funeral procession then pro-
ceeded towards that part of the GENE
terry consecrated to the Weinberg fam
lily, where the leg was inferred, the
funeral grafton being delivered by
Weinberg himself, who praised the
lost limb for it's endurance, as we'll
as it's sturdy resistance to colds and
govt.

QUEER BEAST MAY
BE MISSING LINK
Monster With Almost Human
Head Found.

Paris.-A stronge monster with an
almost human" head, which was
killed in the Venezuelan jungles ten
years ago, was described by DR.,
Georges Montandon, noted French
scientist, In paper read before the
members of the French Anthropolog-
ical institute. Photographs of the mon
ster were projected on screen. The
animal was described as having 80
teeth, no tail and being about the
size of large man.
The photograph, according to the
scientists, revealed an unknown an
thropofd, akin to the orang- outang
species but closely resembling the
Neaderthal man.
Doctor Montandon placed particular
emphasis in his lecture on the size of
the animal, saying it was much larger
than the Atele apes which it resem-
bles in some ways and larger than any
anthropoid species ever found in
Latin-America. This fact alone, he
said, made the discovery Of outstand-
ing Importance.
The scientists paper told how the
monster was killed by Francois De
Logs, a French geologist and friend
of Doctor Montandon, who penetrated
unexplored depths of the Venezuelan
jungle on a scientific expedition. One
day, while seated in temporary
camp with companion, the geologist
heard a crashing in the branches of
nearby trees.
A moment later two ape-like crea-
lures jumped down into the camp
clearing, waving their hairy arms.
The two men fired and one animal
fell.
The geologist Immediately propped
up the dead animal and photographed
1t at close range. He attempted to
preserve the body or head but, owing
to grave danger which overlook the
party, was forced to abandon every
thing but his records in a notebook
and the photograph.
copy Of the notes and the photo
graph were sent to Doctor Montandon,
who said he had made extensive
studies Of the subject and hoped that
an expedition could be formed to
search the area where the animal was
killed. He said hope of forming such
an expedition was the cause Of his
silence on the subject in the past, but
now he would be pleased if others I'M
dertook the journey.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1929-05-24

of fresh, crisp lettuce, just off the ice.
Chicken Salad.-Cut cold boiled
chicken into small cubes; put into a
bowl and to each quart allow a tea
spoonful of salt, tablespoonful of
lemon juice and few dashes of white
pepper. Mix and set aside to mari
nate until serving time. Cut two
thirds as much celery as chicken and
allow to stand In a cold place. At
serving time mix all together with a
good mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce,
garnish with olives, capers and sliced
hard-cooked eggs.
Another Shrimp salad.-Take two
cupfuls of cooked shrimps (fresh If
possible, canned will do), break into
bits, add one cupful of diced celery,
one-third of a cupful IF sliced stuffed
olives and cover with one-third of a
cupful of french dressing. Chill for
an hour, then. add mayonnaise to
taste. Serve on lettuce.
Monte Carlo Salad.-Take six slices
of pineapple, one cream cheese, two
tablespoonfuls Of chilli sauce, truffles,
pimentoes, paprika, french dressing
and mayonnaise. Pour the french
dressing with the paprika over the
pineapple Add the chill sauce to the
cream cheese and form into balls the
size of the hole in the pineapple slice
Arrange a ball in the center of each
slice of pineapple which has been
placed on lettuce on chilled plates
With scissors cut spades and clubs
from the truffles and place one or
each side of the slice. On the alter
mating space place hearts and dia
monds cut from pimentoes. Garnist
sparingly with parsley. This is ar
unusually delightful salad to serve
at card party.
Waldorf Salad.-This is so well
known and liked that it seems trite tt
mention it; however it is good one
to be recalled. Mix an equal guam
tity of chicken, diced. with tender eel
cry, also diced; add one-half c1pful OF
pecan meats to a quart of the celery
and chicken. Add tablespoonful o.
lemon Juice and bit of olive oil, LEI

mayonnaise and serve on lettuce. Sea

dressing with salt and white pepper

other necessary alterations made. Per
haps only four or five new garments
are required at first. Others can be
added as need arises and new fabrics
are discovered in the stores. If cotton
dresses are worn the year around, the
winter outfit probably has long sleeves
and high necks, so unless they are be-
ing fast outgrown 1t is good idea to
put them aside for new ones, rather
than to alter them for hot weather
wear. Obviously all new dresses
should be made with growth allow
ance in the hens, loose neck, wrist
and leg bands, and plenty of fullness
across the chest, so they can be worn
as many seasons as possible. One
consolation is that any Of these little
dresses can be made very inexpensive
ly from attractive cotton wash prints,
ginghams, sateen, broadcloth, and 9TH
err fascinating material found among
the cotton dress goods.
The little girls dress illustrated Is
good type for simple, quickly made
dress to add to the supply as the
season advances. 1t was designed by
the bureau of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and is made of percale. Small
green figures form faint vertical lines
in the material. White collar, cuffs,
and pocket tops are used as trimming.
AS the boomers are white with leg
bands Of the print, short remnant
might be utilized to make the dress.
The epaulet style shoulder is used.
Extra front fullness is shirred onto 1t.
Fullness in the back is gathered into
the collar band. There is front
opening bound with bias piece of
material and closed with single but
ton. Care should be taken in cutting
and sewing a striped or checked mate
rial to set pockets or other decorative
| features so that they seem to continue
| the stripes or squares in the design of
the fabric, or contrast with 1t SYM
metrically, as when they are cut on
the bias.

be just as satisfactory as patent bags
If the ends are securely closed so no
moths can. crawl into the bundles.
Clothes moths do not eat into paper to
reach clothing. Gummed paper can be
used to seal hat boxes or similar con-
tainers. Some naphthalene flakes or
paradichlorobenzene crystals may be
put in each package. The fumes, when
confined, will kill any chance larvae
that may hatch from unnoticed eggs.
Another good way of assuring one
self that the clothing being stored is
free from infestation, is to put it, after
the preliminary brushing, beating and
summing, into the trunk where it is to
be stored and then to fumigate the
trunk with carbon disulphid or carbon
tetrachlorid. The illustration shows
how this is done. In this treatment q
saucer containing the fumigant Is
placed on top of the clothing and the
trunk Is then closed and sealed. The
LIQUID evaporates, forming gas
heavier than air, that sinks down into
the clothing and kills moths and other
insects. About three tablespoonfuls of
carbon disulphid are used. This Is
infammable, like gasoline, and has n
disagreeable odor, so many people pre-
fer to use carbon tetrachlorid. The
gas from carbon tetrachlorid is neither
explosive nor inflammable, so there is
no fire risk in its use. About six to
ten tablespoonful are necessary to
fumigate an ordinary trunk.
Placing clothing in cold storage
vaults is sure way to prevent moth
damage.
