20 minutes for a man properly bitten to be

The fact that Cleopatra, after various expert

make it more attractive to one who finds life
very wonderful. It was simply Haarles keen

Arabic "Saida! Allah has some use for thee

Lotteries offer strange misses" for the man
who believes in luck. The Calcutta Sweep Is
perhaps the most famous of all. Nearly every
one knows what 1t is but, for the benefit of the
uniformed, it is sweepstake run by the sport
ing club of Calcutta and based upon the great
annual English sporting event, the horse race
called the Derby. This sweep, beyond nearly
all others, is the most honestly conducted,
highest winning. cleanest thing of its kind.
Tickets obtainable through members only,
and the man who draws the horse that wins
the Derby in England may on the investment
of less than a pound, he paid 100000.
The Calcutta Club has been compelled, owing
to the enormous demands for it, to issue its
tickets in categories. One of the largest banks
in England actually gets more than 100000 of
these tickets for its clients and has to open
a special department to handle them, although
it is not possible for the bank to make a dollar
profit
Now how can one who doesn't believe in
Providence account for the fact, despite the
enormous number of chances issued, the winner
is almost invariably poor or of humble means?
Probably two-thrds or more are purchased by
the rich, or at least the "well-to-do." Just a
few seasons ago I had a ticket that missed
being the winner by but one number-some-
thing like 384, while 383 won. 1t was owned by

whose outlook for the future probably was drab.
1t was the closest have ever come to having
a fortune, and when one considers the million
chances I regarded myself fortunate that
for weeks thereafter patted myself on the
back, although of course it wasn't worth a
nickel. But it was nice to feel that some one
who needed it more did would be independent
for life.
COME years ago, in this same sweep, there was
a great mystery as to who held the ticket
for the favorite. The favorite was at such
strong odds that it was considered certainty.
Any man who draws one of the strong pos
siblties is Immediately deluged with offers from
the bookmaking syndicates for half owner
ship, or an outright purchase of his chance.
Almost invariably the price offered for one
half runs to at least $4,000 in cash. and in
this particular case the holder of that ticket
could have got SITS 900 by merely saying Yes"
But he couldn't be found. Detectives and in
quiry agents were out in squads to find him.
It was eventually learned that he sailor,
a Woodworking petty officer on a battered old
tramp trading independently, and was some
where in the Indian Ocean.
The vessel had no wireless and had sailed
before the drawing of the numbers by the
Calcutta Club stewards. Nothing was heard of
the man until two days after the race, when
the dingy old tub hove into Durham, South
africa. Inc morse that nao Deen IaVOrlCe proved
ugly and was almost the last to come in. The
sailor got $4,000 only, but he didn't do so
badly, after all.
How about this one, that proved both hu-
morous and tragic?

Raising Karakul Sheep.

A N industry which the Department of Agri-
culture would like to foster in this country
is one in which many difficulties are being
faced, the departments own restrictions mill
tating against the development.
This industry is the raising of Karakul sheep,
produced primarily for their skins, which are
used in the manufacture of three types of fur
broadtail, Persian lamb and caracul-valued in
the order named. Fur skins secured from
grade rams and grade ewes-that is, animals not
thoroughbred-have been found to be unsatis-
factory, and some means Of improving the
quality Of the stock has been found vital, If the
production of these furs is to be developed in
this country.
There are few thoroughbreds here, and the
importation from their native land Kokhara Is
banned because of a quarantine laid down to
prevent the introduction of disease af1icting
them in their own sections.
Experiments carried on in this country have
proven, however, that lambs sired by thor
oughbred ram produces satisfactory skins, even
where the eve was only good type. It is
hoped that by careful selection the general
grade of Karakul sheep in this country can
be raised to point where satisfactory furs may
be obtained.

portant place in the diet of babies, supplying
the Vitamns which stimulate growth the
tomato has grown in popularity until now 1t
ranks third among the vegetable crops Of the
Nation. It is estimated that the annual crop
is valued at $50, GOO, 900.
The million or million and a quarter tons of
tomatoes which go into the commercial pack
ing of tomatoes and tomato juices require be-
tween $50 900 and 900 acres for their pro-
duction. This does not take into account the
tremendous number consumed as fresh toma-
toes or processed by the housewife.
The principal source Of canned tomatoes is
the small cannery in close proximity to the
fields in which the tomatoes are grown. 1t is
usually little more than barnlike structure,
which is in use only during the few weeks the
tomatoes are in yield.

Tomato Industry GAINS.

The usual process is to scald the tomatoes
with steam, in order that the skins may be
Ioosened after which they are placed in pans
and carried along q continuous belt to workers,
who help themselves to pans. These pans are
placed on a bench in front Of the worker. The
skins are removed with the bud end and the
fruit is placed in another pan, which is carried
along the same belt to the hiling machine
where the fruit is dumped into large hopper.
The cans are filled with meats Of the toma-
toes and enough Of the juice to cook them IN.
The surplus juice is allowed to run away or is
saved for conversion into canned tomato juice.
From the filling machine, in which the cans
are also capped, the cans run along track to
a steamer, where they are cooked for eight
minutes, after which they are ready for
labelling.
The canneries plan to secure about cans to
the 14-quart basket Of tomatoes, and payment
is based on this figure.

Auto Makers Expect
Progress In Industry
Point to Tradition About Effect
of General Conditions on
Business
EXPECT IT TO LEAD WAY
Believe New Models and lnten-
sive Sales Effort Will
Bring Results

Detroit, Nov. 3.-(P)-It long has
been a tradition in the automobile
industry that It Is first to feel the
effects Of an industrial decline and
first to recover. Many Of Michigan's
business leaders believe the motor
car industry will lead the way again
as 1t did in the past.
No small part of the feeling that
better days are at hand IS based up
on the impending presentation of
new models by majority of the
automobile manufacturers. Many of
these new types already are In pro-
cess Of construction while others are
to come off the production lines
within the next few weeks. The ef-
feet of this new model production
already has been felt in related in
dustries that supply tools and parts
for the various motor car makers.
Its effect upon employment will come
shortly when all the makers planning
new types put them into production.
Preliminary showings of some OF
the new models disclose why the in
dustry's leaders are depending 50
confidently upon them to supply the
impetus needed to thaw out frozen
motor car market. Apparently every
thing the industry has been able to
develop in engineering improvement
has been incorporated In the new
cars.
Coupled with the impending ap-
pearance Of new models Is the fact
that the motor car industry has
cleared its decks in preparation for a
vigorous sales campaign. Virtually
no surplus stock will be In dealers
hands when the new cars are for
mally presented.
The faith Of the Ford Motor com.
pany In the future Of the motor cal
industry is SHOWN In the expenditure
of $500,000 for the installation Of ad.
ditional equipment for the salvaging
Of worn-out motor cars.
