Satisfy! that's a new thing
for a cigarette to do

It'a nothing for a cigarette to just taste good lots of
cigarettes may do that. But Chesterfields do more they
satisfy I Just like a thick, juicy steak satisfies when
you're hungry.
Yet, with all that, Chesterfields are MILD I
No other cigarette can give you this new enjoyment
(satisfy, yet mild), for the good reason that no cigarette
maker can copy the Chesterfield blend an entirely new
combination of tobaccos and the most important develop
ment in cigarette blending in 20 years.

Receding Waters Expose Indiana'
Duck Trap.
University of Washington, Dec. 8.
An old Indiun duck trap made out
of saplings and used long before tho
white man built a university on the
shores of Lake Washington has re
cently been exposed by the recession
of the lake's waters. The trap, al
though within a stone's throw of the
lower edge of the campus, remained
unknown to. the while builders and
was even forgotten by the red men
who live near.
Years ago when ducks sought the
shelter of the hay of Lake Washing
ton which skirts the campus of tho
university, the Indians devised ways
and means of trapping the birds.
They constructed a kind of stockade
by driving saplings and boughs close
together into tho bed of the hay
where tho water was shallow. The
effectiveness of the trap was height
ened by a thick growth of reeds and
rushes.
Frequent openings were left in tho
3
' hln'iii
walls so that the birds might not
have too hard a time getting into the
trap. Once within the outer row of
saplings the duck swam gullihly into a
wedge-shaped area bounded by
boughs. The more the bird sought to
get out the closer he swam to the tip
of the triangular space where he was
seized by a tribesman.
The trapping ground was inundated
and rendered useless to the Indians
when the natural outlet of Lake
Washington at the source of the
Black river was damned up by a saw
mill company. The water then rose
over the traps and established a
higher shore line.
Only within the last few days did
the history department of tho uni
versity leurn of the traps from nn old
Indian. Immediately Victor J. Far
rar, research assistant in history, in
vestigated the mud flats recently ex
posed when the water of Lake Wash
ington found passage to the sea by
way of the new government canals.
He found the remains of the tr.ips and
set to work to have their location
surveyed. The survey results will be
added to the historical documents of
the university.
Red Sox New Owner Former Bell Hor
Peoria, 111., Dec. 8. (United Press)
Harry I'Vazeo, new owner of the
Boston Red Sox, world's champion
baseball club, got his start to fame
much the same as did Joseph L. Lun
nin, late owner of the club. It was in
this city years and years ago that
Frazee, as a boy, worked in the old
Peoria hotel as a bell-hop. Fr-i;.ec
was a good bell-hop and a reputation
that diners with him to this: d.iv n
established among the patrcin.
I Hopping bells in tho Peoria hotel.
however, didn't last very long, for
France jumped his joi, and went over
to a hill-posting company, whiro he
also became expert. Kis bill posting
made him a habitue of local theatres,
and ambition just naturally pushed
him along until he linailv landed a
job with a burlesque company as a
"banner man," one of the bill poslers
who is second in advance work.
Frazee's climb to fortune started
soon after that. He snved hi i,nnl,
until he had enough to procure an in
terest in "Mnloncy's Wcddirg Lay,''
and promoted himself shortly after
ward to fame when he became con
nected With "Uncle .Tnstl Rnn,.K"
and "Uncle Josh Rimpkins." Furthor
running around tho country with an
occasional venture in imrin!n tu..
atricnl productions finally landed him
in Chirairo where he o-iened n Knt
ing office and tho way to easv sailinc
hl me same lime, une of his best
known sucesses was "Isles of Spice.''
Another wns "The Time, Place and the
'Girl." It has been his ambition, he
recently declared to a friend who
lives here, to own a baseball club. He
always has been interested more or
less in sports, and was largely re
sponsible for tho fact that Jess" Wil
lard won the world' heavyweight
championship from Jack Johnson. Ho
invested heavily in tho promotion of
the bout, aftcrwurd faying he did it
solely to bring the championship back
to a white mun. Krazee also financed
the world tour of James J. Jeffries
and Prank Cotch several years ago.
