COURT HOLDS DOG RACES
GAMBLING PROPOSITION
I
Judge Dismisses Patent Infringe
ment Suit Over Mechani
cal Device.
Bt the AwwituA Pr«t.
CINCINNATI June 23—Dog races
were characterized as “almost exclu-,
sively a gambling proposition” by Fed
ei-aS Judge Smith Hickenlooper today j
in a decision dismissing a suit for want j
of alleged infringement of patent de
vice* used in connection with dog races 1
at Springdale. Ohio, last year.
Judge Hickenlooper said:
“These dog races are not conducted
in the spirit of sportsmanship, but
almost exclusively as a gambling means.
Knowing this to be a fact, a court, of
equity is here asked to lend its aid in
securing ior the complainant a share
in tne spoils of such enterprise.
It is not a case of possible misuse
of an innocent device, but the patentee
taking out his patent and promoting
the establishment under it solely as
gambling cases. While a substantial
pood would coroe to the community by
the injunction alone, the accounting
could not in any event be awarded.”

LADY'S SLIPPER SCARCE HERE
| THROUGH RUTHLESS PLUCKING
Interesting Wild Flower Be
]
lieved on Verge cf Ex
termination.
One of Peculiarities Is Trap
ping of Bees Seeking
Honey.
The lady’s slipper or. moccasin, one of
j the most interesting of local flowers, is
on the verge of extermination near
Washington, due to the ruthlessness
with which it has been p;ucked during
< the past few years by hikers and camp
j ing parties, according to local wild
flower observers.
This flower, the most showy of na
j tive orchids, was named by the Indians
< in allusion to the resemblance of the
shape of the blossom to. the moccasin.
Traps Bees.
Besides its beauty it is notable for its
behavior in trapping bees. In quest of
pollen the bee enters the blossom easily,
but then finds it difficult to get out.
After buzzing around in the pink pouch
he finally discovers a tiny opening to
ward the top, through which he can
squeeze if he is not too fat. As he
struggles through this narrow passage
} his back is combed by minute, sharply
pointed papillae, which remove the pol-
I len that he has brought in with him
j from the last flower visited. After this
j has been entirely removed he continues
: working forward, and his back receives
a fresh supply of sticky, yellow pollen,
with which he flies away to another
moccasin.
But if the bee Is too large or too angry
to force his way through this small exit,
he often bites his way out through the
walls, mutilating the flower. Whenever
a queen bumble bee gets in it is likely
| to be her death trap.
I Ten 8 per if*.
One writer states: “The flowers wait
patiently, often remaining in good con
. dition nearly a fortnight if no bee ar
rives.” A seed pod follows the flower,
which contains quantities of minute
The moccasin flower is also called the
; stemless lady’s slipper from the Greek
| word “Cypripedium," meaning “Venus
slipper.” It belongs to the orchid fam
ily. The pouch is a deep pink veined
in delicate purple. A single blossom
t grows on a stem about 12 Inches high
with two clasping leaves at the base.
