POLAND HONORS
HEROES OF WAR
—
WARSAW, Jan. 22—Poland re
cently achieved a monument to ‘“The
Unknown Soldier’ in such a myste
rious manner that neither the press
nor the public knows from whence it
came. One morning at dawn a motor
lorry appeared at Saxonian Square
and unloaded at the base of the Pon
iatowski statue a great sandstone
block bearing the inscription “to the
Unknown Soldier.”
The public irnmediatley began
laying wreaths of flowers before
the inscribed stone and it has be
come jfn accepted monument in
spite of the ignorance as to the
origin of the gift.
The stork visited Mrs. Gus Gel
les at 10:15 the other night at the i
Anchorage hospital and before depart
ing left an eight-pound daughter. Dr. |
Beeson reported that mother and
daughter were doing nicely. Mr.
Gelles hastened to spread the news
with the additional fact that he
now has a trio of fine children.
Massachusetts Man
Didn’t Know Name
Of Intended Bride
TAUNTON, Mass., Jan. 23.—“You
had better go out and get an introduc
tion to the girl you propose to
marry,” was the advice which City
Clerk Edwin A. Tetlow gave a man
seeking a marriage license.
The man, accompanied by a woman,
made a visit to the home of the city
clerk to get a marriage license. He
answered the questions put by Tet
low. When the clerk asked the name
of his proposed wife he scratched his
head, thought a moment and declared
he did not know.
Later it was learned that the wo
man with him was the bridesmaid
and that he had left his bride-to-be
waiting at the church with the in
tention of returning with the docu
ment, but he failed to do so.

Bobbed-Haired Siren
Leads Barber Astray
VIENNA, Jan. 23.—“Bubikopf,” as
the bobbed hair vogue is termed in
this city, recently earned a young
woman adherent a week’s imprison
ment.
Anna Schwartz, a blonde “bubi
kopf” of twenty-two, was convicted of
having led astray a young married
barber by the name of Joseph Leopol
dine.
Leopoldine’s wile testified before
the judge that Anna had captivated
her husband by means of her blonde
bobbed locks, and asserted that Anna
had been in the habit of sending for
her husband at all times of the day
and night to trim her hair. They al
so frequently went for excursions to
gether, she added.
Asked if he had* been a good hus
band otherwise, Mrs. Leopoldine stat
ed that he was a perfect husband in
other respects, although he immedi
ately got a “grouch” if she mention
ed the wrord “bubikopf.”
The judge asked Anna whether she
would promise to leave the barber
alone, but she tearfully declared that
she cculd not promise that.
Anna’s sentence will not take ef
fect until the end of 1325, which
means that if Mrs. Peopoldine has no
more complaints Anna will not have
to go to prison.
The judge remarked by that time
there will probably be no more “bubi
kopfs.”

RABBIT MEAT IS
POWDERED FOR USE
SUMMER FOX FEED
Down in the Kenai peninsula coun
try, which place, it is believed, wiii|
soon be made a Government game
reserve^ the fox farmers of the dis
trict have been busily occupied for
some time past and will be for two
months to come, in snaring rabbits
for future fox feed. A1 Hardy, deputy
fur and game wrnrden, returned to
Anchorage last week from that dis
trict and brings the information
that all the fox ranchers anticipate
a splendid season this year.
The Williamson fox ranch located
on Russian river, is the largest ranch
in the district. Last year 96 fox
were taken off the ranch and at the
present time there are approximate
ly 14 pair left. Mr. Williamson ex
pects to put up at least 5,000 rabbits
for fox feed. Other ranchers plan
on putting many away from 2,000 up.
An average of 125 to 175 rabbits are
being snared daily by the individual
farmers, all of whom firmly believe,
due to many reasons, particularly
the climate, that a rabbit drought will
visit the district next year.
After picking up a quantity of
rabbits many of the farmers grind
the raw meat up, which, in turn is
placed on racks over a stove, where
the meat is dried thoroughly, after
which it is taken down and pulver
ized and stow’ed away in sacks. To
prepare a meal for fox, the rabbit
powder is mixed with water and
vegetables, boiled and served. This
makes a very substantial food for
the animals, during the summer
months, making quite an agreeable
| change of diet from the fish and por
I cupine.
Another form of preserving the
rabbit meat for summer feed is to
clean the rabbits, leaving xthe raw
meat, which is packed in a five-gal
lon oil can. About 35 of the rabbits
| can be packed in this space. Water
!is then poured into the can, which
'is set outdoors until the water be-1
comes frozen. The can is then
brought indoors and the can is thaw
ed away from the ice inside, which
is dumped out. The blocks of frozen
i rabbits are then stored away in
j specially constructed icehouses. Fresh
rabbit meat is particularly good feed
; for the fox in the spring of the year.
