How to Determine Vermin

It is quite easy to determine the type of vermin that kills game. A fox, in devouring it's kill, invariably clips the wing feathers off sharply at certain point, whereas a winged killer usually leaves talon marks which an expert can decipher The nature of the marks and the distance between them distinguish the handi- work of a great horned owl from that of hawk, and may even label the species of hawk. There is no way, however, to distinguish the attack of house cat.

How Police Radio Works

Police departments have for some time had a system of radio transmittal of police orders which is very similar to any radio broadcasting system. There is also q system used by police and by other interests, called teletype, which consists of an automatic wire less connection between a typewriting machine at the place of sending and another at the place of receiving By this system the impulses on the keys of the sending machine automatically react on the machines at the receiving station so that complete letter is written simultaneously in both places. The receiving operator may then re- ply in the same manner while the con- nection is still maintained, thereby as- surfing a complete copy in both places of both letter and answer

How Sport Has Shelved
 "Tomboy" of Yesterday

Where is the tomboy of yesteryear? The word is heard no more nowadays, and perhaps has fallen out of Ameri- can speech. In the old days any girl who took part in sports would have been deprecatingly dubbed "tomboy," and distinct sniffs would have been heard from her more decorous sisters who were always little ladies'"
 At certain seasons of the year when golf and tennis tournaments bring out the girl competitors, those who would have been called "tomboys" in the days of their sheltered grandmothers. Today, the representative of the fair sex, in natty sports attire. smashes them across the net or steps up to the tee, takes swing, manifestation. and sends 200-yard drives down the fair way. And there are sun burned youths and successful business men in every gallery who would give the shirts off their backs if they could do likewise.
 What has become of the tomboy of yesteryear? The answer Is, they are all tomboys. The day seems to have gone forever when 1t was unladylike for women to be competent in a sport. St. Paul Dispatch.

The other day a resident of Alaska who had come to Wash ington with the soldier boys, informed the Delegates office that if he could receive letter indicating that he had been working in Alaska that he could receive transportation to Seattle and possibly from there to Alaska on a government boat. Of course he received the letter and the next morn- ing a squad of soldiers was awaiting the opening of the Delegates office to make re- quest for similar letters, as they wanted to go to Alaska. Inquiry brought out the fact that they were all from Illinois

How Turtle Lures Fish

The alligator snapplng turtle has a novel way of getting its living. In the bottom of it's mouth there lies a light colored strip of flesh about an inch and half long that resembles nothing so much as a healthy fish worm. If the turtle lies in shallow water with it's mouth open minnow is quite likely to swim into the aperture to get the worm. Immediately the jaws of the turtle snap shut and the fish is fast in trap from which there Is no escape.

Delegate Wickersham made a valiant fight to secure an ap- propriation for the Alaska Road Commission in conform ity with the sum of $650,OOO recommended by the budget. But the House was opposed to granting any sum beyond a sufficient amount to maintain the roads and trails now in ex- istence. However, the Dele gate labored with the Senate committee and induced an in- crease of $140,000 in it's rec ommendatiOn, which was later accepted by the House. Al though the Alaska Road Com mission has been transferred from the Army to the Interior Department, the amount ap- propriated will be expended by the Interior Department.

HOW
} METHOD OF MAKING WIRE

HAS GONE ON STEADILY The earliest known mention of wire drawers" and "wire mill CTS" as those who produced wire by drawing were called, occurs in 1851 and 1860, in the his
 tories of Augsburg and Nurem- berg, the previous accounts be-
 ing only of "wire smiths," those
 who brought metals into fila.
 mentouS form by means of beat
 ing them with a hammer into
 thin plates, then dividing these
 by cutting into narrow strips and rounding finally with ham,
 mer and file. The change from
 the old to the new method was soon followed by the introduce
 ton of q machine by which wire was successfully produced with out direct aid of the hand; this machine, probably the invention of I.udolt, of Nuremberg, was Op- erated by water power. The pre- ciouS metals appear to have been the first subjected to this
 process--brass and iron not be-
 ing used until some time later. White wire, or blanch wire, Is mentioned in England in 1463; and both iron and fine brass wire in 14S4. Up to 1865 English iron wire was drawn by hand only, and was of so poor q quality that most of that used in the country was imported. In that year patents were granted to manufacture wire in England.

TEXAS RECLUSE
USES HIS COFFIN
AS DINING TABLE

PERRIN, Tex. Aug. 13. U.P)-Far
from the roar Of his native Paris,
the giant hermit of the Jacks
county hills sits beside the coffin
in which he is to be buried-wait-
ing for death. -
The coffin, covered with a cloth,
daily serves Albert Schnocke as a
dining table in his remote little
shack, away from the world. Eight
years ago he drove into the town
with a neighboring rancher and out
of his life's savings bought the
black, satin casket with the silver
handles and the top-plate with the
engraved words "At Rest"
Schnocke passed his Goth BIRTH
day recently-an event he celebrat-
ed by eating a self-prepared din
ner. served on the coffin.
Little is known of this strange re-
cluse, who began a hermit's life
beyond the memory of only the old
est inhabitants. He cannot hear
and he speaks in barely more than
monosyllables. From his fragmen-
tary conversation a little of his
life was learned.
Schnocke was born in Paris,
France. in 1842.. He left France in
his youth to seek adventure in
America. He joined the Union
forces in the Civil war and was
mustered out of service at old Fort
at Jackboro, Texas.
Schnocke bought a few acres of
land here and built a small hut.
He fashioned his clothes from sacks
and lived off the herbs and wild
life of the hills. Such were the
tales that pictured him as a wild
man" that only the bravest neigh
bors went near his cabin.
Indian Killer
Old settlers folklore describe
him as having killed more Com
anche Indians during the early In
dian wars than any white man.
What caused Schnocke to lead
the life of hermit, he alone knows
He never married and has no known
relatives. He never writes nor re-
ceives letters. His pastime is read
ing and his favorite work is Bal
zac's A Bachelors Establishment.
On the rare occasions when Wis
itors call he unscrews the lid of
the coffin, shows them the casket
and with his shirt sleeve shines the
plate with the engraved words
"At Rest"

was unable to qualify man for the
final and to considerable points in
the 1500-meter free style swim.
United States was leading the
swimming competition until the
1oO-meter back stroke late yester-
day when Masaje Kiyokawa, Toshio
Irie and Kentaro Kawatsu, three
1.-THE, brown-skinned Japanese, fin
ished in that order. Kiyokawa'S S
time was 1:08.6, just a of a second
slower than the worlds record.
The best United States could do
in the backstroke was the fourth of
Robert zehr, of FIT. Wayne, Ind.
Bob Kerber of Northwestern Uni
versity, finished sixth, after Ernst
Kuppers, of Germany.
Japan showed what it expected
today when KuSuo Kitamura, IA
year-old schoolboy, won his heat
in the 1,500-meter semi-final in the
time of 19:516, which broke the
Olympic record of 19:51.8, set by
hlllC VI oWCdCll, bAAC 1oGO
games at Amsterdam.
Kitamures record stood only un-
til the next heat when his 15-year-
old teammate, Shozo Maxine, won
in 1887. Clarence (Buster)
Crabbe, of Los Angeles, and James
Christy, of the University of Mich
igan, also qualified for the final to-
day but their qualifying times in
dicated they had little chance
against the Japanese.
The japanese also had a large
number of potential points in the
200-meter breast stroke, semi
final heat of which was won in the
new Olympic time of 2:44.9 by Rel
20 Koike. Koike was chased to
the finish by another japanese,
Yoshiyuka Tsuruta, whose time of
2:45.4 was better than any previous
Olympic time.
Shigeo Nakagawa, a third Jap
anese, aso qualified for the final
while United States was swept COM
pletely out of the event.
While the men of the United
States apparently had lost the
swimming title, the United States
women had their section won.
The American girls took first, sec
ond and third in the high diving
and won the 4x1O6 relay to amass
a total of 80 points.
Helene Madison, queen of United
States women sprint swimmers, was
expected to add to that total today
by winning the 400-meter free style
event, the only. remaining women's
final.
The sweep in the high diving was
