marshy area near his home.

BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.
- OMETHING of the mystery and
superstition Of his native PAM
pas clings to the ghost" wolf,
- who bears an evil reputation.
Yet in captivity he has developed
a mild, inoffensive and even timid dis
position, seeking nothing better than
to be left in peace to lead solitary
existence.
His bad name comes from the In
dians who can scarcely be persuaded
to hunt or trap him because they
fear some supernatural power. The
ghost" or named wolf shares his
reputation with the almost unexplored
savannahs and river jungles OF the
Matto Grasso.
His nocturnal, solitary habits have
contributed, perhaps, to the native
superstition. The zoos named wolf,
one of the rarest animals on exhibit
anywhere, was captured in Brazil and
brought to New York by the captain
of fruit boat.
Evening star., 1936-07-18

The wolf was q cub then, and new
to captivity. He lived up to his repu-
tation by swapping and snarling at his
keepers, who were very happy to be
rid Of their charge when they reached
port.
The wolf, however, has improved
marvelously in disposition and health.
He has grown much taller and de-
veloped a beautiful, reddish-brown
coat of long hair.
The named wolf Is perhaps more
closely related to the fox than the
wolf family. He hunts at night and
alone, usually far from the haunts Of
man.
Timid, feet and stealthy, he moves
like a phantom through a country
sparsely inhabited by Indians and
rarely visited by white men.
Thus q ghost" wolf is almost un-
known to the worlds geological COL
lection.

VIRGINIA INCREASE EXPECTED.

RICHMOND, Va, July II P).-
Kone Brugh, member of the State Milk
Commission, said today that rapidly
advancing feed costs and decreaSiro
production because of drought condi
tions probably would force an increase
in milk prices on most Virginia mar
kets soon.
Brugh has just completed an In
spection tour which he said revealed
conditions worse than he thought ex-
isted. Dairymen reported they made
only half crop of hay and sileage in
some instances, and many now had
their cattle on Winter rations.
Scarcity of milk has pushed prices
for the surplus for manufacturing
purposes beyond the price for fluid
milk for private consumption, he said
ne had learned in some places. If
this unusual condition continues with
out an increase in prices to the con-
sumer, he said, dairymen would pre-
fer to sell their product to professors.
Brugh said some distributors had
agreed that if the price to consumers
was raised cent quart they would
pass the entire increase to the pro-
ducers, while others said they would
pass on the bulk of the rise.

The University of Maryland ex-

Heaps said the present price to
milk producers-23 cents gallon
left little margin for them to pur-
chase hay or feed at the prevailing
high prices. He estimated q four
cents per gallon increase possibly
would suffice. Such an increase would
mean a four cents per gallon boost
in the retail price of milk here.

Expenses
When Guest Is Asked
To Drive Car on
Trip.
Star Stah Photo.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: There is ar
elderly couple living in our neigh.
borhood who have car. but no one
to drive 1t, since their only son, who
lived here with his family, moved
away on account Of business. They
have asked me to drive them on a trip
which will take the whole week end
and necessitate staying in a hotel and
buying many meals. They have said
nothing about expenses, and I'm won
dering about mine. know they will
pay the expenses of driving and ga.
raging the car, but what about the
other expenses.
Answer: I would 60 to them frankly
and ask, What expenses would be
mine on the trip?" To put it this
way is much better than to ask, Are
you going to pay my expenses?" Un-
doubtedly they will answer tas they
should that all of your expenses are
theirs. But it is always best to make
certain beforehand rather than to run
into embarrassment afterward.
nEAR MRS. POST: Is the owner OF
hairdressing shop ever given q
tip? I go to a large shop. which is
run by man and wife, who are also
operators. They do the phase of the
work that runs up the big bills and
on which tips would be appreciable
Would it not be an insult to tip them,
since the whole idea of tipping. as !
understand it, is to make up for sal
aries that people don't get from those
who employ them?
Answer: think you are entirely
right, and the proprietor Of any es-
tablishment whatsoever is never tipped.

DEAR MRS. POST: I wish you
would explain what the difference
Is between widows collar and cuffs
and ordinary ones. Is 1t in their shape,
size or materials used?
Answer: The distinguishing feature
Of mourning collar and cuffs Is that
the material is very sheer. usually Or
CANDY, although it may be Brussels
net or georgette. with perfectly plain
hem.
DEAR MRS. POST: Will you please
explain the best form in the fol-
lowing case: The person addressed did
not understand what the speaker said.
What is the correct form in asking
the speaker to repeat?
Answer: You would say, I'm sorry,
I didn't hear" or I'm sorry, I couldn {
hear you." For a real fault, where you
continue to ask some one to repeat
what they said. you would probably
be more apologetic and say, II beg
your pardon, but in all this noise I
don't seem able to hear" Or by real
fault might be meant your miscon-
STRUNG what was said. Upon having
it explained, you would say. "Oh, beg
your pardon. entirely misunderstood
what you said"

OF COURSE, there are the show
" offs, who. like the poor. ARE
always with u.s." These pests Of the
foot ball season emerge from their
hiding places and render the After
Moons hideous for all those in their
immediate vicinity. They arrive late
and leave early; they go out at every
possibly opportunity, and their seats
are always in the very middle Of the
row. They scream and shout their
approval and disapproval: they always
call the players by their first, or nick.
names; they employ weird and un-
pleasant epithets, and they only de-
sist from their labors at intervals to
see if they are being accorded proper
notice and attention.
There are both male and female
members of this order. OF the two,
however, the female seems to be the
most obnoxious. Usually the mascu.
line side of the picture gets hit over
the head by a friend sooner or later
and sleeps sweetly for the last quarter
of the game-nobody ever hits the
lady in question. I have often won
dered at the almost superhuman re-
straint displayed in this respect by
foot ball crowds.
T WOULD suggest for these annoying
members of the fair sex that an old
sport be revived again. Until the
nineteenth century in Inverness. Scot
land, it was an annual custom for the
spinsters to meet the matrons in a
game of foot ball All available women
took part-I suppose several games
we're going on at once-encouraged by
their masculine friends and relatives.
1t is said that the matrons usually
won-probably because they had more
training in battle and endurance than
the maidens..
1t would really be great fun to see
some of those grandstand players stage
fray of their own and let their
abused stadium neighbors do the YELL
ing and first-naming for change!
Aside from these pests, however, 1
believe that the feminine attitude to-
ward foot ball is definitely much i'm
proved since 1 started sitting in sta
diums. Every new season brings more
intelligent fair onlookers to beathe
the crisp air. wave the beloved pen
nants and pin chrysanthemums on
sleek fur coats. II we can only do
away with the "show-offs" and with
the men who smoke cheap cigars like
factory chimneys- foot ball will
indeed be tops" for the spectator!
