Bad Men Present, but , Were Not Lingering Houdini's erustule tfgulnst fraudu lent spirit-mongers occupied a ereat deal of his time and thought during the last years of his life. But there was a brief period In his early stage career when, assisted by his wife, he used to do a "mind reading" and "spirit message" act, pure hocus po- cus, of course. One night he was tipped off that two negroes the local "had men" were In the gallery. These men went about armed with razors and three weeks before, one of their pals Imd been murdered. While no tangible evidence could be raised to fasten the crime on them, the people of the town felt that the. were liiiii.l.'.if.-.i When Houdini began to give his "messages," he presently stepped for ward with a puzzled, earnest face. "I have a message here for Bill, Doakes and Jim Saunders," he. said. it conies from Benny Carter. He sa.vs: W hoys bettah pul yo' razors away, or yo' is sho" goln" ter bo where Ah Is now.' Are Bill Dnakes and Jim Saunders present?"

CMnii, In a report to Natural Ills tory Magazine, an olliclul publication of the British museum. The creature. which belongs to the Insect group known os the Elomopteru, secret cs u fluid which apparently tastes very good to certain black ants. Thej seek it eagerly, and "milk" the insect hj manipulating certain hairs uMiK-hed . its body. But their potations are f;i tal, for the drink contains a poison which soon paralyzes them. As soon as the bug Is aware of the ant's weak ened condition, It ceases to he passive and stubs Its victim through a chink in its horny armor, sucking out the lifeblood with Its sharp beak. The drained bodies of the assassin's vic tims fall to the ground beneath Its lurking place, and sometimes accu mulate In large numbers. The car casses are dragged off by another ant species, a red one, which does mu scruple to make a pseudo-cannibal feast on the remains of Its fatuously bibulous relatives. Corvallis. The University of Ore gon football team staged a brilliant comeback after three years of defeat in the state of Oregon football classic, and took the annual state 'champion ship battle from Oregon State col lege here Saturday by a score of 12 to 0. An overflow crowd of 22,000 saw the game. Coach Schissler's Oregon State Beavers were clearly surprised by the unexpected strength of Oregon in the hrst half and were consistently out classed in practically every depart ment of the game in the first two periods. Coming back in the second half the State college team developed a fight ing streak they had not shown before and threatened to score, even up to the last minute of the game. ' The threat was challenged by the Oregon team and the University players clung to the lead and had the ball on their own 15 yard line as the game ended. The Webfoots stopped the long gains and accurate passes of the bril liant Maple, Oregon State quarter back, when gains and passes might have meant scores. In contrast, the Staters allowed Kitsmiller, flashy Oregon forward, to slip through for the first score in the first period after Oregon had worked the ball to the 10 yard line after recovering a State blocked punt in midfield. Kitzmiller failed to kick the goal. The second score came in the second period when a lateral pass gave Ore gon first down on the Ore gon State college 25 yard line from where another pass, Kitzmiller to Robinson, made another first down on the eleven yard mark. To. top this. the Staters were penalized to the two I yard line for holding, Gould was held for no gain but Burnell carried the ball over m the next play -with tackle smash. A completed pass for the extra point was disallowed Stadleman was caught holding. ihe Oregon State Beavers foueht bitterly for victory in the last half making six first downs to Oresron' none. They once penetrated to the one yard line but lost the ball on a fum ble. In the last few minutes they again worked the ball down to the 10 yard line where a pass was knocked down on the goal line. Maple played the entire game with out relief and was always daneerous He never fumbled but Oregon covered him too closely for him to break away. Sherwood and Hughes were brilliant in the backfield for the State college ana uouia, Kitzmiller and Burnell did some outstanding work for Oregon, Pendleton Woolen Mills SHEETS The largest and most complete line ever Shown in Athena Slipovers Blazers StagShirts Boys, come in and look over our fancy Wool Socks, for high-top shoes STEVE'S GROCERY Quality Quantity, Service. , Phone 171, Athena, Oregon DR.
