A Queer World
“Bleeding Hawk,” Mummy
Taken From Egyptian
Tomb, Is War Barometer
Never Fails.
Cullompton, Devonshire, Feb. 18.—A
mummified hawk, taken from an
Egyptian tomb and probably 2,500
years old, has gained fame in Devon
as the “bleeding hawk."
W. J. A. Grant, a magistrate of
this plare, who owns the liawk, re
lates that just before the Doer war
'the bird, which was up to that time
“bone dry” turned moist and shed
drops ot blood, hut before the peace
treaty was signed, became dry again.
Blond appeared again in July 1914,
and the bird did not become dry again
until shortly before the armistice.
When war threatened in the Near
East, a distinguished general from
Gallipoli, taking tea with Mr. Grant,
declared that hostilities were inevit
able.
Mr. Grant, consulting the hawk and
finding it dry, offered to bet the gen
eral one hundred to one that there
would be no war. His prediction
proved true.

board of directors of the Omaha Wel
fare federation without his approval.
Coutts' letter was a demand that
Cibb resign from the Central Labor
union or from the Welfare federation
which directs the Community Chest.
Gibb Statement.
Gibb offered the following state
ment of the situation: /
"When the Community Chest was
being promoted the directors wanted
someone to represent organized labor
in “their organization. \Vithout con
sulting me they used my name and
inter even placed my name on the
board of directors. X did not accept
either appointment and advised the
Community Chest people to that ef
fret. They sent two representatives
before the Central Labor union, which
deoided not to participate in the
Community Chest. I took no part in
the affairs of the Community Chest
organization. When Coutts published
his letter X asked the Central Labor
union for an investigation, which
wau held.”
Locliray Replies.
J. A. Lochray, editor of the Mid
west News, which published the
Coutts letter, said:
“Gibb did not resign from the Com
munity Chest organization although
he had sufficient time to do so. There
is a bunch in the Central lAbor
union that is trying to control our
paper. This paper will serve the
rank and file of labor and will go
right along without indorsement at
the labor temple.”

3 Auto Show
This is your invitation to view new apparel styles.
You may choose, here, Spring apparel that unites
glorious promise with happy fulfillment. Wear
|iew fashions first—but near new fashions that will
last.
Spring Waits Just Beyond
the Threshold
With spring just around the corner, one must give atten
tion to the planning of her new-season wardrobe. The simple
sports frock, for now or later, with its slender grace—the
new and mannish tailleur—the glimpse of white on black
satin—the prominence of sleeves and necklines—all these
will be important to you. Make a note on your visiting
calendar — Thompson-Belden’s, Monday and Tuesday
mornings.
Tailored suits are in the foreground
Correct in every detail, O’Rossen of Paris has brought the
suit back to prominence, and smarter than ever.
Beaded georgette dinner dresses
have never met the mode that could replace them. This
season they have taken unto themselves tiny pleats and
the shoulder cape.
Coats of varying lengths—plain or plaided
Checkerboards in striking colors—their enveloping folds
make them motor coats of utility.
Betty Wales dresses for smaller women
are offered in sizes as small as 14. Their lines are youth
ful; their styles essentially becoming.
THlRi) FLOOR
Blouses, more and more tail
ored, take the long straight
lines of the middy. Straight
and plain with the exception
of tucking or embrodiery in
expected places.
The elimination of the belt
has at last been achieved.
The result is a perfect tube
silhouette, formed by a tunic
which falls almost to the
hemline. This mode is smart
ly worn.
Flannel grows more and
more popular as a sports fab
ric. Dresses will be brightly
plaided and as short as elev
en inches from the ground.
Very clever models at $25.

(■ For the smartness that it
gives to her tailleur, one
wears a choker of sable or
marten. Hudson Bay, $65;
. Stone Marten, fine dark
skins, $37.50.
