certainly tastes queer,
Mrs Newlywed; Oh, that’s be
cause I cooked some liver pills
with it, dear. It locked so sick
when I opened ihe package that I
thought they would help.
Seppala to Return
Bellingham: Because bad weath
pc interfered ' with the taking of
moving pictures of Leonard Sep
|)ala and his Alaska, dog heroes of
the Nome diptheria serum dash,
Seppala will return here in March
or April to complete the set of
views taken of himself and team
in Heather Meadows on Wednes*
day. Rain poured throughout the*
day, affording Pathe and Fox new
sreel men little chance to use
their cameras.
Seppala and his twent\ two
dogs that i.ave drawn so much
attention and admiration since
their arrival here last Saturday
will leave Bellingham on Friday
for Kansas City and other East
ern cities.
No man in the North has a
greater collection of silver trophy
cups than Leonard Seppala — a
collection of awards which rep
resent feats of strength and en —
durance-and saill that make Sep
pala unique— that make him like
a hero stepped out of the pages
of some iascinating tale of the
North.
Behind eat h cup is a story of
brave hearted courage that car—
l'led swilt fooled dogs on against
the iastest uogs of the land tt>
victory that often meant three
days and nights of race against
cold and snowy difficulties few
can conceive who have not been
mushing on an Alaskan trail.
TALKING TIRLS WOMLN
LESS TJtJAN MEN
Brussels: Talking fatigues wom
en less than it does men, a Flem
ish scientist says in a dry objec
tive way, without entering into
the controversy as to whether the
fema! • is more talkative than the
male.
The scientist explains his
statement by two facts; first that
the greater the length of the vocal
chords, the more energy is req
uired to produce a sound; second
that the vocal chords of women
are shorter than those of men.
Ghost stories are gaining in
popularity according to Danish
publishers.
