NEWSPAPERS GUNNING FOR LIARS.
During the recent Red Cross membership campaign
the Seattle “Star" offered a $'>00 reward for the “nailing"
of lies told about the American Red Cross and its activi
ties.
Says the “Star":—“You’ve lieai d the lie about the log
ger who was upposed to have written an old lady telling
her he had bought the socks she made for soldiers."
"You've heard the lie about all Red Cross speakers
who were supposed to be getting rich from Red Cross re
ceipts."
“You've heard the lie which tried to brand every!
worker in the Red Cross as a war grafter."
"You’ve heard the lie that the women taking member-1
ships, got a commission." j
“All these stories are lies—lies, originated by traitors,
but sometimes carried by fools."
Dozens of these stories have been traced down by Red
%
Cross officials themselves and every single story has prov
ed false. The “Star" in the heat of its patriotic indigna
tion. offers the *500 reward in the hope of deterring some!
of the agitators who mit designates as “fools” or “trait
ors."

***************
Occasionally a **tish" story gets in
to circulation which has such a scien
tific flavor that it challenges the cred
ulity of even the very well informed.
To this class belongs the story of the
resurrection of a fish called the “Chin
dagaks.” which it is reported, will
come to life again after having lain
frozen solid in the ice for months.
According to the authorities con
nected with the United States Kish
Ci mmission. the ( hindagaks is a new
comer not only into t ne neici oi iwi
literature but also into tie* lists ol
known species. None ot the experts
on the Commission has heard ol it
before. They, declare that when a
fish is entirely frozen, life is extinct:
though it is possible tor a fish to ap
pear to be frozen when its flesh i.
only stiffened from the cold. The
blood is still uncongealed, therefore
the fish is still alive and will, of
course, revive gradually when placed
in water of the proper temperature.
Kven this will happen only to a fish
which has been caught through a hole
t in the ice and left lying exposed on
the ice surface until it has become
stiffened from the cold.

LORAIN, Ohio, Jan. 22. — “All is
fair in love and war,” Shakespeare
tells us, but it remained for a local;
court dignitary to go farther and de
clare that “everything goes in aj
crooked poker game."
A man has a right to steal the pot
when cheating is going on in a card
game for money. This was the deci
sion of the court when Judge L. H.
Job discharged John Deehiocvis, who
was arrested on the charge of steal
ing $200. The testimony proved that
the man was “framed” in a poker ■
game; after he had lost heavily, he j
stole the pot.
“You are discharged,” said the'
judge to the prisoner. “Go steal again
vhen they frame on you.”
