THE FIRST FISHERMAN ARRIVES
Xow, if you ecr packed your lurch j
and went away to the- woods, or the
Lake, or the RiVer, for a whole day you
know how Tinker Bob and Silky, :ne
Monkey, and Major Po Cat felt when
they started for the Lake in the Alagis
Basket.
"I'm just eroing to take a chance at
fishing myself." said the silly Monkey
to the Kin? as they were off. The .silly
fellow! What could a Monkey know
about fishing? But he thought he knew
all about it.
"You couldn't fish if you had a sil
ver hook and a golden pole," said Maj
or Pole Cat. Major was a pretty good
judge of fishermen, too.
' "Well. I'll try it a hit anyway and
I can catch them if they are in the
: water and I can see them. For I
haven't seen anything yet th iz I
couldn't outrun, especially in this for
est." This made Major Pole Cat laugh. Out
run a fish, the idea! Who ever heard
of a fish running? "I see very clear
ly, Mr. Monkey, that you know very
little about a fish, but when the day
is over vou will know more. Ho! Ha!
who ever heard of a fish running in
the water!"
Th?y were not long on the way for
the Creature of the Kinsr's Desire mov
ed very swiftly, and had it not been that
the edge of the basket being high the
wind would have blown the King's hat
off.
Tinker Bob knew that the early morn
ing was th'i time to fish and he was
anxious to be at the fishing ground be
fore any of the fishermen arrived. He
was there, too, in plenty of time, not
a fisherman about. But the fish were
having a fine time playing tag. Some
of them were jumping out of the water
. all the time. First there would be a
splash here and then a splash there.
Then one would jump high out of the
water and his back would glitter in
- the morning sunshine. "I'll bet I
could catch one of those fellows if I
wanted to," said Silky, as he watched
them jump.
"You had better wait and let a fish
erman show you how to fish before yoti
fall into the water and scare them all
away." That was Major's a.ivice.
Suddenly a sharp harsh rattle caused
all three, even Tinker Bob, to look up
from the Lake. They each saw the

DEATH USUALLY
GOES UNNOTICED
Hunger, Typhus, Exhaus
tion and Cholera End Life
of Hundreds Daily.
Samara, Russia, Sept. 6- (By the As
sociated Press) Hunger antf death go
virtually unnoticed in the neglecte;!
streets and alleys of Samara. Refugees
from famine districts near the city,
estimated from thirty to fifty thousand,
are huddled together in deserted build
ings, unused lactones, tattered terns
and in wagons massed about the open
spaces about the railway stations and
the docks along the Volga river.
Hunger, typhus, cholera and exhaus
tion are carrying off hundreds of thess
miserable fugitives, young children fall
ing victims readily to the famine and
its attendant scourges. Bedraggled ani
ragged refugees are constantly carry
ing pine coffins toward the cemetery,
where unpainted wooden crosses marl:
hundreds of new graves which have
been dug since the flight before the ad
vancing famine began. From 50 to 00
starving children are gathered up daily
from the streets, or turned over to the
central refuge, by parents who cannot
feed them. Many of these little su-
l fercrs have typhus fever, but the hos
pitals are without beds and medicine.
Vladimir Sokol.sky. chairman of thi
Samara provincial Soviet, told the As
sociated Press last week that the en
tire peasant population of 2,500,00.1
would be dependent upon outside food
by November. Already 100.000 peas
ants are without bread, this number
including 50,000 children who hae
been placed in Soviet homes.
MOTHERS KILL BABIES.
Conditions at Semayenkena, a village
30 miles from Samara and remote from
railway or river communications, are
typical of the isery existing through
out the province of Samara. Tlie
peasants there are eating bread made
from melon rinds, sunflower seed and
grass seed. One mother killed her baby
last week, saying the could not bear
to see it starve. Other mothers are
I threatening to kill their children. One
woman with six children said-' to the
Associated Press:
"You know, it takes children so long
to die. It is too horrible to watch them
shrivel up."
Hundreds of families were moving
toward Samara when the correspondent
passed through Semayenkena. They
were carrying all their belongings on
rickety wagons, drawn by starve!
horses which were dropping dead by the
wayside. Igo Kouonetzoff, a peasant,
was found standing with his wife,
grown daughter and young son, watch
ing their horse die at the top' of a long
i hill.

PHYSICAL SIDE
CARUSOTHROAT
Physician Says Muscles
Strikingly Formed for
Great Singing.
London, Sept. 6. William Lloyd,
throat sepcialist, who for years treated
Caruso, writes to the Daily Mail that,
comparing him with other great singers,
he found the following characteristics
of the perfect singing machine.
"The most striking feature was the
great length of the vocal tube; the
distance from the teeth to the vocal
cords, in Caruso was at least half
an inch more than in any other great
tenor I have examined.
"A second point was the length of the
vocal cords, on whose length, breadth
and thickness the pitch of the voice
largely depends. The average length
of the relaxed vocal cords in a man is
18 millimeters (about 3-4 in.). Caruso's
vocal cords were 1-6 in. longer than
those of any other tenor I have seen.
"The capacity for vibration of the
vocal cords is another mist important
factor, for the higher the note the more
rapid must be the vibration. Caruso
when singing his Wonderful chest C
sharp reached the phenomenal vibra
tion for a man of 550 per second.
"Caruso's whole body seemed to have
more average resonance and one of the
great secrets of his wondrful voice was
the formation of the epiglottis, which
was thick at the base, as in bassos,
but exquisitely fine and delicate at the
free end. The power of his voice was
so great that he often fractured glasses
in my consulting room by singing their
fundamental notes at the orifice."

If The Lights Should Go Out
When you think the rate seems high or the service
poor, consider for a moment what this town would
be like if all electrical current were turned off.
The stores, the houses and the churches would go
dark. There'd be no lights on the corners, no ele
vators m the buildings, no street cars', no telephones
not even a movie show.
Kerosene lamps would come back into use, and your
wite would bend over a wash tub and sweep with
a broom. x
Electric current is one of the cheapest necessities
you can buy today. In proportion to the comfort
and, convenience it gives, electricity is worth many
timeswhat you pay for it. And it helps, in a large
Zlla ; m?;ke ur - town a prosperous and desirable
place in which to live.
