STRANGE CARGOES
FROM SEVEN SEAS
POUR INTO LONDON
LONDON, Feb. 11.—Strange car
goes are brought up the grey old
j Thames to Londontown by ships that
have been poking into odd corners
of tlie Seven seas.
Some of the items from recent
manifests were:
Dried Flies,
Walrus whiskers,
Frogs skins,
Tasmanian Devils,
Diseases,
Sea slugs,
Sharks fins,
Bird nests.
There are two varieties of dried
flies. One come from Mexico and
is used in the manufacture of paint.
The other kind is from Brazil and
is ground up into poultry food.
Walrus whiskers—what d’yer
s’pose? Well, you’re wrong. They’re
converted into toothpicks!
Frog skins—brought mostly from
India and the Orient—are made into
ja most beautiful bookbinding leather
—soft, delicate and shaded with rare
j colorings.
“Tasmanian Devils,” are something
hike the Gila Monster of the Am
jerican desert—a bit uglier if pos
| sible. Lots of them are brought
! here and sent to Zoos all over Eu
rope.
The case listed “Diseases,” that
came from South Africa not long
| ago, was vastly more dangerous
than a shipload of Tasmania Devils.
It was full of germ cultures of mal- ;
jarial and various other tropical dis
j eases. That case was handled more
carefully than any dynamite or gold
| ever unloaded in London.
Exotic edibles pour into London
j from the Far East to supply the
j tables of the large Oriental popula-1
I tion. Aged eggs are brought from j
i China—where an egg, like good
wine, is relished more and more
as it accumulates years. Pickled
j sea-weed, sharks fins, bird-nests,
dried snake, of the kind called
“Mountain eel" of China—are a few
| of the items.
OBLIVION IS FACED
BY TEXAS RANGERS
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 11.—The Tex
as rangers, credited with being one
of the most fearless law enforcing
organizations found anywhere in the
world and America’s first constabu
lary force, today is threatened with
elimination. A district court yester
day raUd : iie lavr creating the mng
r: force unconstitutional and enjo’n
ed the organization from further ran
ker :t’v!cv.
For more than ninety years this
group of men, originally numbering
150„ never more than 1,000 members,
and at present hut fifty, has’’ had a
record of enforcing the law to tiie ut
most. Organized first to protect
homesteaders in the wilderness of
Southwestern Texas, its work has
been changed to suit the times, and
of recent years it has been appre
hending law violators and criminals.
For the first time since its incep
tion, its work was at a standstill
; today.

first time in the memory of Seattle
courthouse officials a full blooded

women and nine men sitting in judg

SMOKE IN WAR.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Smoke
properly used in a war will save more
lives than any other element of de
fense, according to Brigadier General
Amos A. Fries, chief of the chemical
war service of the army.
“All countries,” said Fries, “have
come to an understanding of the great
part that smoke is going to play in
any future war. This we have real
ized for a long time and work on
smoke is in our double A list.
“Our development of a method of
dropping a smoke curtain from an
airplane has been one of the ounstand- J
ing developments of recent years and
has made a tremendous impression on
everyone who has seen it.”

A
«
neighbor is expected from Austria in
the near future. In response to the
repeated demands of both pacifists
and economists, the government is
seriously considering the feasibility
of abolishing completely this coun
try’s “torso army” of 22,000 men.
Under the terms of the peace
treaty, Austria is entitled to main
tain a standing army of 30,000 men
If
— I
For several years past, however, she
has shown no interest, in having,
more than two-thirds ot' this num
i ber under arms. And now she i.~
thinking of doing away with the arm>
altogether.
Austria's army is now costing he
; almost ten million dollars annuall}
| It is worse that useless for any kind
1 of military action.
