sharp teeth puncture the skin of the
victim, and death of rat or mouse
pest follows quickly.
There are no reports that the COM
mon genet is not worthy of cultiva-
ton. Its fur has been used to some
extent, as it is very beautiful and
soft, but as q nlouser, it would be a
great success It would find its own
food, and America would save billions
Of dollars each year, If it could find
some way to lessen the hordes of rats
and mice.
AS far as our domestic cats are con-
cerned, they have been so pampered,
and food is so plentiful in the cans in
the backyards, where lids are left con-
veniently open, that there is no in
centive to go to the trouble to rout
out a mouse or rat
OF course, in time, even the greatest
mouser in the world could be ruined
by having things come too easy. I
have watched fat cats, even, give
portly looking rats the right of way.
Think of what the fine hunting anceS-
tors of these lazy cats would feel to
see their descendants act in such a
manner.
In Europe, where the genets ane
fully appreciated, they are much in
evidence as pets Few animals have
more beautiful fur when 1t has had
care. The hairs are short, and the
ground-color is a brownish-yellow or
gray. Down the center of the back
there Is glossy black line, and along
the sides of the body there are many
black and rich brown spots. On the
head and face there are dark and
light markings which make it easy to
identify your little genet. There are
black rings on the long tail. The
number of them is variable. The
children in the family do not all have
the same number of rings-merely a
little quirk among genets, but family
characteristic.
Only the geological parks have had
genets as guests. Some day, perhaps,
Tabby may find she has rival from
Europe installed in her place.
So far, all the European immigrants
who have become citizens of this
country have viewed with great salts
faction the opulence of the New World
and make the most of their oppor-
tunities.

CHIEF OF MLEAN
CLAN, 101, DIES
Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean
Effected Truce With
Rival CampbeIIs.
~ the Associated Press.

ISLE OF NULL, November 23.-
Col Sir Fitzroy Donald MscLean,
Scotland's Oldest clan chief who in
1882 buried the hatchet with his
ancient rival clan Campbell, died last
night in historic old Quart Castle.
Sir Fitzroy was 1o1 years old.
The ancient feud between the clan
MacLean and the clan Campbell was
said to have originated over the love
of a woman in 1745 and to have been
carried down through the years until
both sides called it off in 1882.
On Sir Fitzroy's Tooth birthday an
niversary he received messages from
many of the 10000 MacLeans scattered
throughout the world.
The clan Chilean, or MacLean, was
founded in the thirteenth century by
Chilean Nan Tuaighe, or Chilean OF
Battle Axe" whose massive strength
and feats of arms made him famous
on the Isle of Null and the mainland.
Sir Fitzroy, the twenty-sixth heredi-
tary chief of the clan, had been con-
6ned to his bed for two years.

In Syria and in southeastern Persia.

would have ruffed this with the queen

OF course, the success of this play

Against the four heart contract
West opened the 10 of diamonds,
which was won by dummy's ace. Re-
turning to the closed hand with the
ace of spades, declarer played the
queen of hearts. East, upon winning
with the king, returned his top dia-
mond. Declarer trumped and led the
jack of hearts. East now shifted to
the queen of clubs. After dummy's
ace won, a small diamond was trumped
by declarer, whereupon West over
trumped and cashed his king of clubs
to set the hand a trick.
Here is where the double dummy
part comes in. Mind you, 1t Is strictly
a double-dummy play; we really can
not blame the declarer for not max
ing it. Instead of trumping the dia-
mond low, declarer should have ruffed
with the 10 spot and led a low heart.
East would have won the trick and
undoubtedly would have led another

POKER STAKES
RUN AS HIGH
AS $500

JOLIET, Ill, Feb. 81 uN.S0.
Astounding tales of prison revels,
picturing the Joliet and Statewide
penitentiaries as pleasant clubs for
such convicts as could afford the
dues, were related by two members
of Governor Henry Horner's in.
vestigating commission today
after interviewing inmates.
Assistant States Attorney EN-.
NETT Moynihan, of Chicago, and
Warden Roy of the Colorado State
prison made the revelations which
they said existed prior to the ap-
pointment of Joseph E. Ragen as
warden of the two prisons last
October.
Liquor Made In Prison
Among their disclosures were:
Convicts played poker in their
cells for large stakes. one inmate
declaring he had seen as much
as $500 on the table in one poker
game.
Money was smuggled to inmates
and used to corrupt guards.
LIQUOR was freely circulated,
and was even manufactured
within the prisons.
Narcotics, taken from the prison
hospital, were sold to drug addicts
at 81 "a shot,"
Favored convicts, the men-about-
prison, were permitted to wear
white shirts and flannel trousers
instead of the drab. coarse prison
garb.
Prison "SOcial Circles"
The convicts were organized into
distinct social circles, the sets in
which they moved dependent on
the funds available to them. the
commissioner disclosed.
The probers revealed the in
mates had frankly admitted the
existence of abnormal practices.
These conditions, the two COM
missioners said, existed from 1910
to 1885, having been ended by dis
ciplinary measures put into effect
by Warden Ragen. w ar d en-
Best said:
Zone fellow told us the in
mates actually ran the prison.
As he put it you either laid it
on the barrel head or you didn't
get anywhere The prisoner
without money got no privileges
whatever"
SILENT ON LOEB CASE
They said one of the convictS
questioned estimated there was as
much as $780, 900 cash in circula'
ton among convicts and that 1t
was othing for a big shot
prisoner to have $100 in his
pocket.
Both said the prisoners they
questioned were reluctant to dis
cuss the razor-Slaying of Richard
Loeb and declined to say whether
they thought the murder was the
result of improper advances made
to James Day, who has admitted
the Staying.
It was the Staying Of Loeb,
murderer of Bobby Franks. and
resultant charges of lax prison
administration that brought the
investigation.
The probers revealed that the
convictS had named certain
guards as accepting bribes. and
declared these guards would be
brought before the commission.

GOOD CAN COME
OF GREAT EVILS,
BISHOP REMINDS
Judas Could Have Turned
Betrayal to Advantage,
PreIate Says.

The value of great catastrophes
in engendering sympathy and good
will was the theme today at the
noon Lenten services at Christ
Church of the Rt. Rev. William
Scarlet, bishop of the Missouri
diocese. Bishop Scarlet cited the
japanese earthquake as an ex-
ample.
In discussing the "evil into which
we fall" he said.
THE darkest figure of the last
days of Jesus sojourn on earth Is
Judas, who betrayed Him. In spite
of the close association Judas had
with One whom we would give our
lives to know, under the symbol OF
the kiss of love, he sold Him out
When the full horror of the realiza-
ton of what he had done broke
upon him, he could not face it and
took his own life.
Cites Case Of Judas
Herein was Judas guilty of the
greater condemnation: for, while as
fact his deed of betrayal could
not be altered, it was possible to
alter its value.
Judas did not have this point OF
view. He could not face the ugly
fact which confronted him and took
the easier way out. But suppose he
had faced it and had set out to
redeem it, even while Christ hung
on the cross that Good Friday aft
ernoon, if he had flung himself on
his face before the cross pleading
for mercy and forgiveness, what do
you think Christ would have done?
Turned away from him. You know
better! He would have said: Mel
ther do I condemn thee. You are
forgiven. Feed my sheep. Feed my
lambs"
Bishop Scarlett will conclude his
series of sermons at noon tomor-
row, at Christ Church.
