The ".society column-" of newspapers in small towns give a Ime oppon
.unity to big city papers to poke some fun. If the editors of the metropolitan
papers had been chosen bj .he fate- to run a paper in a small town they
would have to do the same as the editors of the small papers. The fact that
a man is an .alitor of a large paper .toe* not prove him to be a better ed.tor ,
or better educated than the man on the small paper and he would be compelled
ju,t as much to cater to the tastes of the people he lived amongst and worked j
for. The leaders of society in New York are not a hit more exacting than j
the leaders of society in Mukilteo. The society reporter is supposed to callj
Mrs. Brown’s refreshments delicious. Mrs. Robinson’s piano playing must
appear as classical. Sometimes the reporter proves his close familiarity witl. j
the world of musical composition by glibly mentioning perfection of touch,
and "intelligent reading of the theme" or some such foundationless rot.
A study of the Society columns of a small paper is often a real entertain- j
rnent. The town is often so small and the exponents of high and cultured life
are so few that the names of the unapproachable elite appear with most
striking frequency. Mrs. Smith was the charming hostess at a delightful
evening at hor beautiful residence last evening. That is one thing which the
budding society reporter must remember in a small town. He or she must
got in those adjectives some way or somehow, right or wrong. Amongst the
guests was the beautiful niece. Miss Polly Sangfroid, who has come all the
way to brighten Mukilteo social life by a visit with her aunt, that most
p easant of entertainers. Mrs. 1'. Carlingford Jones. Next day we are told j
that the charming Mrs. 1’. Carlingford Jones entertained in honor of her
l eautiful niece and amongst the guests was the cultured Mrs. t-mith dressed
in a mauve gown with silver bangles on a field of poppies, or something like,
that. Little Miss Dolly Robinson played a most intricate bit from Mozart
..... gh* vlii.h prut <s bri lant things due; s tu. young
lady ever choose to pursue a musical calling in the large centers 01 culture..
Whenever the reporter speaks of those large centers of culture he or she mu^t j
always do so in a manner that suggests that he or she is perfectly n\\ are of
the fact that the people spoken of should he in those large centers and not
in the benighted hole to which an unappreciative providence had consigned
them. Such is life. And it might be said that the people of the small town
are just as go >d as the people of the large city, if the people of the small
town will always remember that the framing to the picture of their life is I
ditTerent, and that the frame which might suit one picture looks foreign to
the other. That is the only trouble.
LOOK OFT. YOU SUBMARINE
MEN HERE COMES FIDO
By HENRY WOOD
(United Pre^s Staff Correspondent)
PARIS, May 15.—(By Mail)—The
use of trained dogs and sea-ravens in
the chase of enemy submarines is an
idea just suggested to the new French
Ministry of War Inentions.v
The Ministry declines to reveal the
name of the suggestor or to admit
that experiments are being made at
the present time with the animals. It
is willing, however, that the public
know about the idea.
According to the would-be submar
ine catcher, all vessels should be
equipped with a corps of trained dogs
and Chinese sea-ravens, the latter of
the kind native to Chinese waters.
In training the animals the dogs
should be taken either aboard ship or
to the water’s edge where a submarine
would be available; and where they
would be taught to recognize the pe
culiar sound which comes from a sub
marine’s propeller when the entire
vessel is under water.
The keeness of a dog’s hearing, it
is asserted, could detect as no micro
phone or other mechanical instrument
possibly could, the approach of a sub
marine. The dog would be taught to
bark at the sound. This training
would require but a few weeks.
With the sea-ravens, it is admitted,
the schooling would be more difficult.
The sea-ravens would be taken to a
submarine, to the periscope of which
would be attached a piece of raw
meat. The sub would then navigate
with both the periscope and the piece
of meat submerged.
The sea-raven, with its keen senses
of vision and smell for under-water
food, would quickly detect the chunk
of meat and the periscope and follow
them till they came to the surface,
where the raven quite naturally would
perch on the periscope.
After both the dog ami the sea- j
raven became reasonably letter per
fect individually they would then be
tried out together.
Through the association the sea
raven. would come to know the instant
the dog barks that there was a peris
cope in the vicinity presumably with a
piece of raw meat attached.
Once the periscope reached the sur
face and the sea-raven perched on it

How can the political aspect affect
Seward ? What does it matter to u»

Seward will still be Seward and oc

hundred years hence. Headquarters

By that time we will have an auto
mobile road to Kenai Lake. An air
line to Nome. But you can hardly af
ford to wait that long. You might
just as well wise up—Now. We are
tired of making predictions. Every
thing will be alright anyway. But to
make it double sure, you should trade

TRIAL OF ROFRANO
FOR A POLITICAL
MURDER SCHEDULED
(Special to Gateway by United Press\
NEW YORK, May 31.—Michael A.
Rofrano, the Tammany politician and
Assistant New York street commis
sioner who for more than a year
walked around under the very noses
of the Gotham police while they were
scattering his picture and a $5,000 re
ward offer through every city in the
country in an effort to capture and
bring him to trial for hiring a gunman
to do the political murder of Michael
Gaimari, is scheduled to go to trial
here today.
Rofrano gave himself up. He said
he was tired of being hunted. He
had been living in a house near Wash
ington Square, had gone to picture
shows and stood beside policemen
who were looking for him. He went
about to conferences with his political
followers.
Rofrano in 1012 split with Tam
many and formed the Home Rule
Democratic club. March b, 1015,
Gaimari was shot to death.
In May Gaetano Montomagno, a
New York gunman was convicted of
the murder and sentenced to the
electric chair. Gaimari named
Rofrano as the man higher up.
Rofrano resigned his $5,000 city
job and disappeared.
Gaimari’s slayer, Montomagno, is
now in the death house at Sing Sing,
awaiting execution, but it is expected
he will be brought from the death
house to testify at Rofrano’s trial.
Rofrano said he hid because he
didn’t want to be tried while certain
political conditions obtained.
He said he believes he will be ac
quitted.
