LAW STEPS IN TO SAVE BRIDE OF ELEVEN YEARS

Man of Forty-Five Is Accused of Taking Girl Wife by Fraud in Tennessee. Will the brutal “sale” of little Florence Lambert, eleven, to be the wife of Ben B. Zumbro, forty-five, forever harden the girl’s heart against love and frighten her from marriage? Charity workers at Nashville, Tenn., confess they do not know. Her mother doesn’t care, she says, and the minister-blacksmith who “married” the two thinks all the agitation “the meddling of people down on us poor folks.” The case was brought to the Attention of Litton Hickman, judge of the county court, who, after conference with Attorney General G. B. Kirkpatrick, characterized the affair as one of the most revolting and pitiful he had ever known. v He said he would use every means to prosecute those who had anything to do with forcing the child Into “marriage.” Annulment proceedings will be started. As for poor little “Mrs. Zumbro,” she says she likes it better at the United Charities home because her “husband” fussed with her. Florence, who wears her dresses no lower than her knees and is of childlike face and figure, was “married" by fraud. She was a ward of an Industrial home and was given leave to attend the funeral of her sister. While on this leave her mother, Mrs. Lulu Lambert, signed a marriage license asserting that the girl was sixteen and the “groom” thirty-five. Zumbro, it is said, promised money to the mother. Rev. W. S. Yarbrough, who- says he is a Baptist minister, but “not working at it,” “married” the pair in the presence of 20 people. He believed the license, he says, and didn’t notice that the child had all the appearances of extreme youth and wore short dresses. Zumbro can’t be located. "

CAT RAISED FOXES

Puss Proved Good Foster Mother to Valuable Cubs. I - Fur Farmer Was Afraid to Take a Chance, So He Called in Tabby and the Difficulty Was Solved, to His Advantage. There are perhaps 10 or 12 of the famous fur farms of Alaska. One of them, situated in the Tannana valley, a mile and a half from Fairbanks, consists of ten acres of cleared land, the greater part of which is covered with pens In which the animals live. From a distance the fox farm looks like'a huge thicken yard with walls of woven wire and hencoops of varipus sizes inside. Each pen is 50 feet long, 8 feet wide and about 10 feet high. The wire is of tough steel and is sunk about four feet in the ground, and then bent so that it runs Inward under the ground for about two feet to prevent the foxes from digging out. . At the top the wire has an overhang of two feet to prevent the captives from climbing over. Each pen has a kennel, the entrance to which Is a chute or a wooden pipe a foot square. Only one pair of foxes live in each pen. They are very timid and must be handled carefully. Most of the fox farmers will not permit strangers to enter their property for fear they will frighten the animals. Some foxes, however, become so tame that strangers can handle them. The fox babies are the size of kittens, and have long, bushy tails, little sharp noses, and eyes that sparkle like jet. One litter of foxes was, it is said, mothered by a cat. There were three of the babies, each of which, when grown, was worth from SSOO to SI,OOO. Their mother was so nervous that Jhe farmer feared she might kill her.young; and so he had them taken away from her and given to the cat tn place of her kittens. The cat had adopted them and played with them as If they were really her own. For such emergencies it is necessary to have cats about a fox farm. Because he would not pay a high price for a cat one man in eastern Canada lost five little foxes that might have proved worth a small fortune. The fox mother had died and the owner of the only cat In the vicinity declined to sell her for less than SSOO. The unreasonable price angered the fox farmer and he refused to pay It. The foxes are fed with salmon, moose meat, horse meat, rabbits, carrots ' and turnips. A common feed Is rice and rabbit cooked together In a stew. One farm feeds 16 rabbits and 15 pounds of rice a day to 52 foxes. The stew is given cold morning and eveThe foxes come out of theli kennels; seize the food, carry it Inside with them and afterward return for more. The land, kennels and machinery of the farm near Fairbanks cost SIB,OOO and the breeding animals $37,000. There are always about 200 animals, foxes, martens and others, and only two men are needed, to care for them. —New York Evening Post.

Maternal Impressions In Canaries.

An Interesting contribution to the voluminous literature on the subject of “maternal Impressions'’ is made by Dr. W. F. Schrader, of Fdrt Wayne, Ind., in Clinical Magazine for December, 1919. Dr. Schrader has been breeding canaries quite extensively for eight years Until last July no crippled or defbrmed chick had ever been found among his nestlings. At that time dally flights of an army airplane over the city invariably threw the birds Into a state of excitement and terror, and during this period twelve eggs were laid. Only seven of the eggs hatched, and every chick of the seven was deformed; three had no anal vents, two had extra pairs of wings, and two had twisted legs held at full length beneath the bodies. The same parent birds have since raised two broods each, and there was not a single crippled or deformed bird among them I — Scientific American.

Maple Sugar Industry.

In 1919 the maple trees in the province of Quebec yielded more than 12,000,000 pounds of sugar and nearly 1,500.000 gallons of sirup, and the estimated value of these maple products reached a total of $6,800,535. The sap, one might say, goes on flowing In packages, tins and bottles, and never more widely than at present, for eight years ago the woodlands of the province were contributing 2,000,000 pounds less of sugar and about 400,000 fewer gallops of sirup; one leaves It to some industrious statistician, with nothing better to do, to estimate the number of griddle cakes thus provided for, or the dimensions of the imaginary Brobdlngnaglan griddle cake that would require all that maple sirup at once.

Cristobal a Growing Port.

UNIQUE VIENNA CIGARETTE

It Is Made From Almost Anything, From Forest Wood to Grass. Tobacco smokers of Vienna jocularly declare that the great Vienna forest is being gradually smoked up in cigarettes. This is intended as a satire on the quality of material used in the manufacture of Austrian cigarettes. Tobacco products are a government monopoly and regulated in quantity of issue. The allowance to each individual is very small, equal possibly to six cigarettes a day. Smuggling is much in practice, however. One thousand recently purchased by the Associated Press correspondent consisted of about two-thirds leaves and grasses.
