Test "Fighting" Bulls

Only 30 per cent of the bulls
bred for fighting are really brave
animals of the kind bullfighters
like to have in the ring. The
bulls are tried out by the stockmen
by methods which are not unlike
intelligence tests used for persons.
The bull is separated from his fell
lows, who are driven swiftly away
while a mounted man feints an
attack on him. If the bull resists
his natural temptation to run after
his fellows, and instead remains
alone and attempts to charge his
attacker, then he Is written down
as being a first-rate bull, provided,
Of course, that his physical quail
ties are satisfactory. He must weigh
more than half a ton and have good
eyesight; this latter is very impor-
tant, for If his eyesight is defec-
tive he may fail to follow the cape
which the fighter swings before
him and quite unwittingly crash
into the matador before that
worthy can sidestep.

Secret of Pre-Inca Dyes
Revealed in Mummy Packs

Dyestuffs and cosmetics of Par
acas, old pre-Inca site in Peru,
have been studied by a professor
of industrial chemistry at Santa
Fee university, Argentina. Rich
textiles found in Paracas mummy
packs rival the finest Old world
tapestries. Because Of their bright
ness after many centuries burial
in the earth, speculation was
aroused as to coloring matters
used. Ancient "elbow grease" that
is to say, careful workmanship
rather than miraculous dyestuffs,
account for the results, analyses
disclose. In their descriptions Of
dyeing methods used by the Incas
of Conquest times, who probably
inherited their knowledge from peo-
pie of Paracas and other predeces-
sors, the Spanish monks enumerat-
ed ten good vegetable dyes in use,
although most Inca work was also
done with indigo and cochineal on
naturally tinted llama wool. In
dyeing intermediate shades on cot
ton, one color was dyed over anOth-
err to obtain desired tones. The In
cas- knew the use of mOrdants.
Their textiles were the envy Of the

Story of Damon and Pythias

Damon and Pythias were citizens
of Syracuse and were great friends.
Pythiass was arrested and con-
demned to death by the tyrant
DiOnysius the Younger, but OBJ
tanned permission first to go to his
home to spend several days in ar
ranging his affairs, on condition
that his friend Damon would agree
to remain as hostage and to suffer
the penalty should Pythias fail to
return. Pythias did not return at
the time appointed, and Damon
presented himself for execution,
but expressed his unfailing belief
that his friend had been unavOid-
ably detained and would appear If
humanity possible. The spectators,
who pitied his credulity, proceeded
to the place of execution. Pythias,
having been detained, arrived on
the scene and rushed through the
crowd to take the place of Damon,
who refused to give 1t up. Each
determined to die for the other.
The tyrant, himself present, struck
with so great a friendship, par
doned both and begged to make the
third in such a loyal alliance.

charged included at least two major

Some Swimmers Should
Not Go Near the Water
Chief Among These Are Sufferers
From Sinus Trouble or Ear
Infections, Doctors Say

st. Paul, Minn.-There are peo-
pie who may hang most of their
clothes on hickory limb, but, like
the girl in the song, but not go
near the water.
Members of the Public Health
Education Committee of the Min
nesota State Medical Association
put people who suffer from sinus
trouble or ear infections first on
this list.
People with head colds are par
ticularly warned to stay out Of the
water until the trouble clears up.
Swimming is healthful sport ac-
cording to the physicians, if it is
INDUCED in intelligently and with
sensible recognition of the risks in
volved.
Even expert swimmers should not
make long distance swims alone
and without knowledge of anyone
who could come to their assistance
in case of accident. Neither should
they dive into unknown waters
where unsupported rocks or timber
might be in their way. In case of
illness of any kind all swimmers
should be certain, first, that the
trouble will not be aggravated by
swimming before they go near the
water.

ed on an operation because he has
failed to respond to treatment"
A tube Is to be inserted in an In
.estine and he is to be fed by that
means. The purpose is to give his
stomach a complete rest, as the
food he takes nauseates him.
That Is the statement Of DIR. A.
B. Rivers, one Of the surgeons In
charge, who said the operation
would be performed tomorrow. "He
isn't doing so WELL" DR.. Rivers said.
1--WE thought we could clear 1t up
by the treatments we have given
him, but 1t isn't working as we mad
hoped, and what food is put In
nauseates him. Failure to respond
to treatment is not good sign, al
though we still have some hope
The doctors said that up to a
month ago Governor Olson was
making some progress and picking
up weight. But then he began to
lose weight and had suffered naus-
ca most of the time since.
They indicated that the response
in the next three or four days to
the treatment now being under
taken will to a large extent deter
mine how well the Governor gets
along. They are gravely concerned
and frankly pessimistic.
DR.. Rivers and DR.. Mailman are
in charge, and DR.. William j.
Mayo dropped in for a look at the
Governor.
The Governors nurse reported he
had a good night and is feeling
well. His spirits are good and he
looks quite well. Visitors, of course,
are barred, although a number of
people each day try to see him.

Gloves Were Prixed a.
Wedding Gifts Long Ago

Gloves are seldom found among
wedding presents, but there was a
time, In old England, when brides
were very pleased with such a gift.
For in those days, they were stuffed
with coins, the equivalent Of the
modern gift of cheque, says a
writer in Parsons London Weekly.
There are people living in Bel
GUM who can remember queer
wedding ceremony in their country,
when the officiating priest asked
the groom for a ring and pair of
gloves. preferably red, with three
bits of silver money in them. Put
ting the gloves into the groom's
right hand, he Joined this with the
right hand of the bride, and then,
adroitly parting the clasped hands,
he left the gloves in the grasp of
the bride.
The most expensive Of gloves
women can buy are cheap compared
with those worn by men of high
rank 200 years ago. At the earl Of
Abrams sale, in 1859, a pair given
by King Henry VIII to Sir Anthony
Denny were bought for ED. And a
pair of mittens fetched Eos. They
are said to be preserved in an Irish
collection and to be among the old
est gloves in the world.
But long before then, men and
women were wearing gloves. A
Greek historian tells of a contem-
porary who put on his gloves be-
fore sitting down to meal so that
he could tear his meat to pieces
while it was still too hot for his
guests to tackle.

Afghan Hound Is One Of
Rarest Dogs in Country

The Afghan hound, sometimes
called Barukhzy, is counted among
the rarest breeds in this country,
says a writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
There are records in the British
museum declaring the breed to be
the Oldest domesticated dogs In ex-
istence. A cousin to the Saluki,
but somewhat heavier and larger,
the Afghan was bred and owned
by only the royal and ancient fam
lilies in Asia and Egypt. Due to abil-
tiles to hunt and kill, they were
closely guarded, and their appear
ance Is still the same as in olden
times. Brought to England during
the period Of the Crusades, 1t Is
thought they are the origin of all
racing breeds, such as greyhounds.
Companions of Pharaohs and
sheiks, in company with the Saluki,
they are often found embalmed In
the tombs of the great. Since the
Moslems believed dogs unclean,
these animals were not considered
dogs, but Afghans.
They hunt In pairs, the dog
making the attack and his mate
the kill. LeOpards, the fox and the
deer were the common prey. Lack
ing the material to supply the hunt,
his place In this country is just
that Of any other breed, a COM
panion to man. He is faithful, af-
fectionate, a wonderful guard, and
gentle with children.

~. Newman, informed the court His
client wished to change his plea to
guilty.
"You have heard the statement
of your counsel Judge Joyce told
Karpis. ~
do you wish to change your
plea?"
Karpis did not answer. Pressed
for a reply he nodded his head and
said, Eyes"
The plea came as the trial Of
Karpis and two others began.
Judge Joyce deferred sentence I'M
til the conclusion Of the trial Of
Edmund c. Bartholmy, former
Bensonville, ILL.,, postmaster, and
John PETER, st. Paul night club
owned, on trial for similar charge.
Karpis' plea was the third ad-
mission of defendants in the kid
MAPPING. Previously Bryon Bolton
alleged machinegunner for the
Barker-Karpis mob and Charles
Fitzgerald, Los Angles, pleaded
guilty. Their sentences likewise
have been referred until the end
of the present trial.
Two others were indicted as par
Elephants in the Hamm abduction
but because they are serving terms
at Alcatraz for the Bremen kid
naping, were not brought to trial.
They are doc" Barker, charged
as co-leader with Karpis in the
two abductions, serving life terms
and Elmer Farmer, former Ben
sonville tavern keeper, sentenced
to 20 years in prison. Karpis, I'M
less he decides to plead guilty, will

Mineral Finders

The various forked twigs, witch.
sticks, doodle-bugs, divining-rods,
etc., used by so-called OWNERS of
water, oil and minerals in the
ground, have no scientific sanction.
An article on the subject in Acker-
mann's popular Fallacies" gives
the views of many scientists in op-
position to the claims of these d.
viners. There are geo-physical in
struments employed by prospectors
and mineralogists; these consist Of
magnetometers, electrometers, ra-
diometers, gravimeters, seismom-
eters, etc. Used by experts who
understand surface Indications and
geological formation, these instru-
ments are powerful aid to the To-
cation Of underground minerals.

Is known as the Laughing jackass,"
because of its braying note, and as

Tiger Uses Business Partner

The tiger is the fiercest Of all an
imals and the enemy Of pretty well
every other creature in the jungle.
But there Is one animal with which
a tiger often keeps on good terms
the jackal, says Parsons Weekly.
When tiger grows old and Is not
as quick and keen-sighted as he
was, he comes to sort Of business
arrangement with jackal. The
jackal seeks out the prey and leads
the tiger to 1t. Then the tiger does
the fighting and, after having a
good meal, the jackal takes what
Is left.
