ASTOR'S BEAR DOG EXCITES SCIENTISTS General Opinion Seems to Be that Mixing of Genera Is Impossible. New York. Feb. IS. Colonel John Oacob Astor, who U usually regarded M of a serious turn of mind In mat? ters pertaining to science and invention and not Riven to practical joking, has succeeded In stirring uj scientists over the question of whether anirnalr of different genera can produce acrea ture that is neither one nor the other, but retains a semblance of both. He asserts that he has a wonderful ant mal which he calls a bear-dog." pun chased a few years ago ifl Kurop some gypsies, which he believes to be part bear and part dog. Sclent! Ms hero who have hoard Col one! Astor's story say that he must be Tnlataken, that no such things as m bear-dog. In the sr-nse Colonel Astof uses the term, can be produced. But Colonel Astor Is very much in earnest about his wonderful bear-doff and the great poxsibllltles such an animal opens to the world of science. He Is so deeply Intcrettted that he has offered a prize of $3,000 for the best bear-dog to be entered In this yenr'j dog show as Madison Skua re garden, provided the owner presents a certificate of the bear-dog's genuineness from the natural history department of Harvard. Yal Columbia, or Prince ton university. Dr. William T. Hornaday, director of the Bronx Zoolottlcal garden, snys It would not be a bad idea, in view of Colonel Astor's offer, for ttome one inclined to practical Joke, to go Colonel Astor one better and offer a prize of 110,000 for a reindeer-horse, brcuuso, says Dr. Hornaday, one would be quite as easy to find as the other. Dwarf Dog. Says Hornaday. Colonel Astor's bear-dog, according to Dr. Hornaday, a recognized authority on thing zoological In this country, may turn out to bo nothing but a dwarfed St. Bernard, or other large species of dog. His view of the case la shared by several other scientists who were seen yesterday on the subject. The so-called bear-dog Is the beginning of Colonel Astor's plan for the creation of new and remarkable animals. He Is deeply Interested in alleged exKrlments with frogs which, according to a roort from Professor Albert Oppel, of the University of Halle, Germany, have resulted In the production of a gigantic frog from the fertilization of frog eggs. Colonel Astor, basing his deductions on theso frog rgg experiments and having his bear-dog In mind, says that If gigantic frogs can bo produced by dividing and rearranging the divisions from several eggs In one, he sees no reason why other animals can't be enlarged. He even goes further and says that the monsters of the carboniferous period thirty or forty feet high and nearly one hundred feet long, might be equalled, if. in addition to thq alterations In the egg, they were able to consume food In a more concentrated form. He suggcMs that if an animal could be produced that could thrive on some energy-containing substance now used wasteful!, or not at all, that the food problem of the human race would be solved at last. Civilization Itself might bo trans formed, says Colonel Astor, if Dr. Op. pel'a system were supplemented by soino sort of concentrated nourishment, but Dr. Hornaday and other biologists here, who have expressed an opinion on Colonel Astor's views, are not at all sympathetic. In fact. Dr. Hornaday factlously suggested that Colonel Astor would be doing humanity a real service If he would only discover an animal that would eat dirt which Is both rheap and plentiful. He thinks also that an animal that would eat asphalt or crude petroleum would help. Colonel Astor's Views. The expression .of Colonel Astor's views on the subject was contained In n artlclo signed by him and appearing In a morning newspaper. He began by saying that Professor Opal and Professor Garret P. Scrviss had opened up a practically new and unexplored field -filled with hope for the human race." He says that "while Is

"FLETCHERISM" - The habit of chewing one's food un til It becomes almost Inquefled and swallowed Involuntarily, and eating certain foods at certain times of the day Is called Tlctcherlsm" after a man named Fletcher who advocates ' this method as a remedy for lndlgestlon and stomach troubles. While ore may get Trcm this system the maximum amount of strength from the minimum amount of food, it is a question as o what extent this principle of living can bo applied to the human race as a whole. lit Is an old and true saying, "What Is one man's meat In another man's poison." There Is one thing sure, however, much less distress and much more assimilation of the body-building elemenets contained In every day food would bo experienced by people with poor or Impaired digestion If they .would only believe what we tell them about Vlnol. There Is no mystery about It. or misrepresentation. Vlnol simply contains the necessary elements needed to reestablish a normal condition of the digestive system. There is no need of going Into the scientific reasons why it simply does It. that is all. Thousands of genuine testimonials from reliable people prove this claim, and to further sirpport the fact and prove our faith In what we say, we unhesitatingly declare that any one ho will buy a bottle of Vlnol for stomach disorder and malasslmilation. will have their money returned without question If they are not satisfied that It has done them good.

AT would be slight advantage In increasing the size of our species, if it could bo done, producing frogs two feet high by dividing and rearranging the division from several eggs in one, in addition to its biological interest would mean other animals can doubtleas be enlsirgod. the only practical limit being j osslbly the production of food for them." He goes on to say that plants that ure now useless, merely weeds, like thorny cactus and thistle, could doubtless be made edible, or, he continues, "we may produce an animal that can consume them as (hey arc."

New York, New Yorker3 are interested In at least one of the "vital" problems of the present, which has been "vatal in times past and will be "vital" In time to rome unless there Is a vital change in every day human nature. "The Spendthrift" is the frivolous and utterly selfish wife of a hardworking business man, whose thoughtless extravagance drives him into bankruptcy and thus brings about the; one thing needed to awaken her betternature and to transform her into a true wife and helpmate. To repeat: if you like a good whole some play, not too sober and not too gay. see The Spendthrift" and may be if you need It you can learn from it a useful lesson or two. torls Mitchell has the leading part and is supported by Lionel Adams.

The list of plays to be presented during the week is a long one and permits of a change at every performance. No play will be repeated. "The Other Woman." The strongest drama produced in this country in many years is what critics of various cities have called "The Other Woman," the play which Miss Walsh has chosen for her tour of this season. As the successor of "The Test," In which Miss Walsh appeared last year. It must indeed be a powerful vehicle for the display of Miss Walsh's wonderful abilities as an emotional actress, for that play was a tremendous hit. Miss Walsh herself chose "The Other Woman" from the

TO BUY GOOD MEAT At Low Cost, Pointed Out by Lecturer. Chicago, Feb. 18. Since the meat eaters of America of their own accord have not learned how to buy meat most profitably to themselves, the meat producers have decided to teach them. Professor L. I). Hall, of the animal husbandry department of the University of Illinois, made this statement in a free lecture on the retail cuts of meat at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Professor Hall said he spoke as the representative of American meat producers in a missionary movement to induce people to use their brains in buying meat. The insane demand of the average American for certain cuts of beef, he contended, causes, one-third of the animal to be sold at an abnormally high price. The remaining two-thirds he said, are thrown away or shipped in barrels across the ocean to be sold in foreign countries for less than the cost of production. Tender, Juicy and Cheap. He dissected a prime steer with the aid of a stereopticon. The poorest parts from an A- animal, he said, are better than the best cuts from the ordinary "canner cow." Some suggestion for using the cuts which sell as 6 and 7 cents a pound, were : The neck should be used for meat loaf or hamburger steak. The clod, a large boneless piece below the neck, should be used as a pot roast, boiling piece, or as an oven roast. Chuck steaks should be cut two ribs deep and used as a roast.

The flank steak, known as the "butchers' steak," because it is usually left for his family to eat, is one of the omst tender parts of the steer, and is edible and nutritious throughout. A round steak should be bought thick enough so that it can be divided into a steak and a roast. RELATIONSHIP MIXED; GRANDMA IN 4 DAYS Philadelphia, Feb. 18. Here is a complicated family relationship, which made a Darby school teacher the mother-in-law of her sister-in-law and a grandmother within four days after her marriage. Miss Laura W. Price was married to George Bonsall. Her husband had been married before. One month before his marriage to Miss Price her brother, Joseph Price, was married to his daughter. Thus, Miss Price's marriage made her sister-in-law her step-daughter and herself a stepmother to her own brother. At the same time here husband became the father-in-law of his brother-in-law and a brother-in-law to his own daughter. A few days after the marriage Mrs. Bonsall received the news that she was a step-grandmother, her husband's daughter, Mrs. George Handschuch, having given birth to a boy. The Japanese government has suspended the granting of water power rights by provincial authorities and is making a systematic survey of the empire's resources of that nature.

IS Clyde Barnell, south of Fair Oaks, owns a rooster that can whip its weight in "wild cat meat," according to Barnell. The rooster will fight almost anything from a cat to a turkey gobbler, and in its numerous daily "scraps" it is in variably the victor. Yesterday, Zeke, as the rooster is called, was out in a wood lot near the house trying to pick a fuss with an old ram, when a large hawk, in search of a chicken dinner, swooped down on the rooster and tried to carry it away. The result of the encounter as told by Barnell follows: "It wan't no time 'fore that hawk was the wust s'prised critter in these here parts, I reckon. The fust' thing Zeke done wus to git the strangle holt and then he ripped that there hawk one acrost the abdormen that caused it to let out a yell you could hev hear'n fer a mile. From thet Zeke turned hisself loose proper and and fer. the next minnet er sich a matter the way he 'bused thet hawk was acshully shameful ripin", poundin' and peckin all to onct and when Zeke finl'y slipped on a piece of ice and let the critter ggit away, it wuz minus every blame tail feather and one laig was hengin'.

CALLS DETECTIVES FROM ARNOLD CASE N. Y. Official Believes Girl Will Not Return Until , She Is Ready To. New York, Feb. 18. Convinced that Iorothy Arnold disappeared of her own free js ill and will return when it suits her convenience, Deputy Com

missioner Flynn has called off the city detectives who have been working on the case. Any further search for the missing heiress will have to be made by detectives acting for the family. District Attorney Whitman declared today that as there is no evidence of crime no action will be taken by his office. There were reports today that the family was seeking a mysterious young woman known as "Mary Martha," who was the best friend of Miss Arnold, as a solution of the strange disappearance of the importer's daughter. This young woman is believed to know the reason for Miss Arnold's Soing away and has in her possession clues that might lead to the discovery of the missing girl's hiding place. It was this girl who acted as as go-between in the courtship of George S. Griscom, Jr., when he was secretly corresponding with Miss Arnold. If the missing girl confided in anybody as to the plans for her disappearance it is reasoned that she would have gone to her closest friend and nobody else. It was learned today that Griscom is directing a secret search for Mi6s Arnold from his secluded quarters in the Hotel Chalfonte, at Atlantic City. A Hankow telegram states that the police authorities in Hupah province have decided to employ female detectives on their force in imitation of the western example. 'A special school for the training of female detectives is shortly to be established, and forty educated women of over forty years of age are to be chosen from the applicants. Pekin News.
