This old p is the sole repre- sentative of his inelegant race at the Zoo. He is about nineteen years old, toothless and moth-eaten. Combin- ing the worst points of the hog and the wart, if he is consldered from the standpoint of a wart, he's a poor hog. and if you look at him as 's an exceptional wart. who molded animals way back must have been drinking squirrel whisky when this chap’s an- cestors came up for production. Warty was the result. Such an ani- mal has _never: been duplicated in time or space. He is fit only for treason, stratagem or spolls, or to scare children with. Warty, however, possesses a hu- man aspect. When he first arrived in our city, back in 1911, he was a hor- rible victim of the mange. They got to work on him. Warty would get a rubdown and massage daily, and he seemed to know that the queer actions of the keepers were for his benefit. He would ilo on one side while the ointment was applied and without protest would roll over on his back. He completely surrendered himself to their care and in a short time he was cured. One Tusk Broken. But look at him today. He certainly lacks symmetry. He Is in possession of deformity, disfigurement, inconcin- nity, distortion and, sad to relate, has a vinegar aspect. His two tusks that protrude east and west from under his upper lip and snout and curve to- ward the north are not evén intact— one is broken off about three inches from the end. He hooked it in an irbn bar one day, and got so mad he stamped around like the “wild bull from the Pampas,” and when he found himeelf free he was minus about $7 worth of genuine ivory. Little eyes, with the appearance of being mounted in tiny platforms, stick out from the upper part of his fac and immediately below them are two extraordinary warts. Separated by a few Inches of sandpaper-like skin are two more obstructions of the same type. Then the nostrils, tusks and ! snout. Doexn't Care Any More, Stringy hair draped in spots over the | course mud-colored body _augments his appéarance. The hair on his head is unkempt, and the old boy allows it to hang down over his eyes and any way it chooses to fix itself. He don't seem to care now about improving his looks. He is a perfect specimen of a person who has no hope, no ambition, no future. Not even the overworked Couelsm has had any effect on him. So be kind to Warty the next time you see him. If necessary drop a tear out of sympathy for his condition. Then when you leave the cage you | will know you have something to be thankful for. i 1U.'S. P. benzoate of soda in the pro- D. C, JULY 15, For the moment prohibition offi- clals have diverted some of their attention away from rum runners and wet Atlantic liners and are prepar- ing to overhaul the regulations re- lating to cider. An announcement from the prohi- bition bureau last night said that the fruit-juice regulations “are now un- der revision and will be issued in the near future.” Officlals would add no details, but by way of preliminary advice the bureau gave out the sub- stance of a legal opinion on the sub- ject, prepared by James J. Britt, its chief counsel. The statement was in the form of a primer and was supposed to make perfectly cleay when, if ever, it is permissible to have on hand hard cider, and why. It follows: Definition of Cider. “The word ‘cider’ shall mean the expressed Jjuice of whole, fresh, sound, ripe apples, exclusive of any extraneous or foreign matter and without regard to the fermentation | or aleoholic content thereof, unless otherwise indicated by the context. Sweet cider’ is the fresh,juice ob- ing of whole, ““‘Preserved T {8 sweet cider as defined above in which alco- holic fermentation is prevented or materially retalned (1) by the ad- dition_immedlately upon pressing of portion of not less than four to four and one-half avoirdppois ounces to each barrel of not exceeding fifty wine gallons capacity, or (2) by pas- | teurizing or sterilizing and immedi- ately placing same in small, im- pervious, sterile, sealed & ntainers, such as bottles or jugs. When It I Vinegar. ““The presence of 4 per cent of acetic | acid will be considered as constituting the article ‘vinegar,’ and the presence of as much as 1'% per cent of acetic acid will be considered ‘vinegar stock.’ Other _acetic solutions of similar strength made from malt, etc., shall also be considered to be vinegar or vinegar stock. “In order to manufacture com- mercially a permit must be obtalned and bond given in accordance with the customary regulations of the de- partment.

NEW YORK, July 14.—Bishop Ed- gar Blake of the Methodist Church in a’letter today to the Christlan Ad- vocate, organ of the Methodist Church, denfed that he had at any time indorsed or given his support to the soviet government. “I did not indorse the soviet gov- ernment nor did I commit the Meth- odist Episcopal Church to its support in any way whatsoever,” he declared. “The present form of government in Russia and the means and methods used for its support I do not approve, and have not at any time, or in any way indorsed or given them my sup- port. “The report that I said *Tikhon has lost the game and must pay the pen- alty’ has not the slightest truth in it. | or elsewhere regarding the patriarch | were with the representatives of the | soviet govenment with whom I inter- | ceded in the patriarch’'s behalf, and with certain leaders of the council, | whom I urged to use their influence | to prevent any personal harm coming to Tikhon.” —_— Accurate measurement of the | |earth's surface is to be made by radio, using San Francisco, Shanghal and Alglers as the three points on a circle | of 360 degrees, between which the| new methods of measurements will be | applied.
