MAN THREATENS
POLICEMAN AND
RECEIVES SHOT
VANCOUVER. B. C.. Sept. 1G. (/P)—
George Covey, 69, of Kalispell, Mont.,
was shot, probably fatally, today by
Victor Eaton, Vancouver policeman,
when Covey threatened policemen who
went to arrest him after he had been
annoying residents.
Covey early yesterday went to the
house of A. E. Nielke, of Forty-fifth
street and asked for breakfast, which
Mrs. Nielke provided, along with a
lunch which she packed for him. In
stead of departing, however, he spent
the day in the brush near the home,
Mrs. Nielke reported.
As Mr. Nielke approached his home
late in the day, Covey leaped toward
him with a club. Nielke succeeded
in disarming his elderly assailant and
then called the police. Policemen
Miller and Eaton went to the scene
and found Covey in the open and or
dered him to halt. As he fled they
fired two shots into the air. Covey
disappeared into the brush. Eaton
followed him and overtook him and
ordered “hands up.” When Covey re
plied with a threat, the policeman shot
into the brush, the bullet striking the
man in the right side and ranging to
ward the small of his back.

AUTO IN POKER GAME
ASHLAND, Ore., Sept. 16. (/P)—Jas.

detailed a description of him, Fagin re
plied that the person preferring the
charge of the automobile theft had
sat across the table from him in the
poker game. Fagin’s eye was black
ened. but he refused to explain that.
He was held by the local authorities.

Sutton, England, concealed their in
sane daughter, who had escaped from

MANY DECEPTIONS
POSSIBLE IN FURS
SKINS OF CHEAPER QUALITY
SOMETIMES DYED TO LOOK
LIKE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES
NEW YORK, Sept. 16. —“The col
onel’s lady and July O’Grady are sis
ters under the skin,” is one of the
well remembered lines of the bard
of the barracks. It might well have
been uttered as he stood on the curb
on Main street and watched the
stream of fur-clad girls pass by, says
The Scientific American. Which was
which hecould not have told you.
Try it yourself some time The
girls are buying furs now and soon
they will be wearing them. A charm
ing miss comes tripping along all
togged out in her Sunday finery. Is
she Judy who stands behind the rib
bon counter in the big store, or is
she the daughter of the ricaest man
in town, a charge customer in the
same store? She snuggles in a hand
some coat of ermine skin. That gar
ment must have cost $1,000 at the
very least, you think. But it didn’t.
Tht skin is white coney. Those
creases by which you nave learned
to distinguish ermine have been put
in with a hot iron. Tim garment cost
exactly $54.£0. It looks “just as
good” as the genuine article and pos
sibly will wear a lot better.
Furs Easily Imitated.
Few products lend themselves so
readily to imitation as do furs. So
cunning is the imitation that the
average man or woman will never
suspect that tl^e garment is an imi
tation.
The one infallible test lie? with the
microscope. Each individual hair in
the fur is of a shape and structure
that reveals unmistabaly what the
animal is. The hair of one will ap
pear long and straight; another will
be seen as a series of cones strung
one on top of another.
One of the finest and most prized
of all furs is the sable. It belongs
to the marten family and only the
expert eye can tell it from its less ex
pensive cousins. The animal is about
a foot and a half long with a tail not
more than nine inches Its fur is
soft and brilliant. The more uniform
the color, the greater is the value of
the skin. The country and climate
in which the animal lives determine
the color fo the fur, the length of
is keynote at Frye Plant
Your own good taste quickly proves the unusual
quality of Frye’s “Delicious99 Hams and Bacon—
and did you know the scrupulous cleanliness that
is the first consideration at every stage of the
preparation of Frye’s “Delicious” Products,
under Government supervision, satisfying assur
ance would be added to grateful appetite.
THE FRYE
LABEL
gives real assur
ance of unusual
quality and per
fect purity. Look
for it on wrappers
and rind of Frye’s
“Delicious” Hams
and Bacon.
Hams and Bacon bearing the Frye’s
“Delicious” label also bear the U. S.
Government inspection stamp, so that you
have double assurance in the all impor
tant matters of cleanliness and quality.
“Everything The Name Implies99
the hair, its thickness and the quality
of the skin in general.
Little wonder that an effort is
made to imitate this magnificent fur.
The wonder is that cheaper furs are
palmed off as true sable s'o success
fully. Even the furrier must be, keen
to detect imitations, especially when
the imitating martens are cleverly
dyed.
Fads Come and Go.
The sable’s chief imitators are the
Canadian marten and the weasel. Un
der the microscope the structure of
the hair of each is seen to be radi/
cally different.
Fads in furs come and go. Usually
they are the result of an especially
good catch, or the successful corner
ing of the market by a shrewd deal
er. With a large supply of a parti
cular fur on their hand's the dealers
are faced with two alternatives—to
let the price drop or to increase the
demand. With the art of propaganda
in its present high state of perfec
tion it is easy to see which course is
adopted. So adept have furriers be
come in popularizing particular furs
that they succeed in having an in
creased supply accompanied by an in
crease in price.
Pony coats illustrate the temporary
demand for a particular kind of skin.
A few years ago they were all the
rage. Now one rarely seen one. The
reason is that immense quantities of
Russian ponies were in the hands of
the dealers immediately following the
World War and they were purposely
made fashionable in order to dispose
of them.
Depends on Size of Catch
Naturally, the size of the season’s
catch has an effect on the furs used
to imitate other furs. Skunks and
raccoons, for example, ordinarily bring
about the same price. When skunks
are scarce and raccoons are plentiful
the raccoons are dyed to imitate the
skunks, and when skunks are plenti
ful and raccoons are scarce, skunks
are dyed to imitate reccoons.
One of our most popular animals
is the skunk. Yes, popular is the
word, for out of the forty-eight states
in which the skunk occurs, thirty
five give him protection. In most
cases this protection was given at the
urgent demand of the farmers who
appreciate his importance as a de
stroyer of insects and small rodents.
So valuable is the skunk that it is
imitated quite generally; and most
“skunk” fur you see is in reality rab
bit or hare. The hairs of both these
imitators hnvp distinr-aivo mipi-v.
structures, so it is not difficult to
distinguish them from the more ex
pensive and durable skunk. They are
longer than skunk hairs and soft and
silky.

| Fifty-Five Miles of
Wire Used On Eiffel
Tower Electric Sign
PARIS, Sept. 17. (JP)—Wiring the
Eiffel Tower for advertising purposes
required more than 20 miles of thick
wire, 35 miles of fine.
When it was first reported that the
tower was to be used to display an
electric advertisement, it was said '
that the state had consented to the
scheme for the sake of the tax it
would receive, which in the present
condition of the treasury would be
welcome. Later information, how
ever, showed that the Eiffel Tower
company is not obliged to ask for
authorization for such action, having
only to satisfy the Paris Municipal
Council that no scheme could be
adopted that would be in any way
an eye sore to the town.
The company receives a lump sum
of 350,000 franc or about $17,000 of
which the city gets ten per jcent.
Mrs. Mabel A. Gillespie of Gretna,
Neb., is the only framer’s wife who
is a member of a state legislature.
Maude Howell is distinguished as
being the only woman director of
moving pictures in the United States.
Specially treated matches are now
made that will strike even after being
soaked in water.
It is claimed that German chemists
have produced glass that will not
splinter.
