Res idents of Mammoth, wnere park: b-adouarter'i are located, spoiled Bill by teaching him to eat from their bands. From a pet he be came a pest. So tame was he alter a season or two that he no longer joined his brothers dnd sisters in their wanderings about Yellowstone and became an out cast. Silk Catches Kye Also his tastes degenerated. They became almost goat-like. The day came when no laundry hanging from the backyard clothesline was safe from his ap petite. His special taste was tor little silken dainties. So they locked bill up in a corral and there he has remained. Then came 'the crowd of New York Elks, visiting the park on their way home from their recent Ios Angeles convention. A group of them visited the corral where a. number of calves are also kept. Recognizes High Sin .''Hello. Bill!" cr.ed one to an "-oroaohing group.

A new survey of economic condit ons has caused the American Child reliei to make a drastic cut in its char ity in Austria. It is proposed this Burner gradually to reduce the number of children ed to 200,000 and these will be con fined largely to Vienna and other cities where much want will be faced during the coming winter. The general improvement in the rural regions is illustrated by action of the Americans in clos ing 68 of their kitchens in Uper Austria alone in one week. All ch'ldren of parents in fair finan cial circumstances are excluded under the new program as welt as children ot farmers In other words. American relief will, bft confined to those in actlual need.

It was introducpd by a Russian who has just opened a hull where' a man who want3 some real excitement for hH money can get results. The hall is darkened at the moment the. race is to begin. Then a srrgle electric light at the end of a runway is turned on, and the cockroaches, earn in a separate track, are let loose from their cages to race for the lisht. Americans IU'1 Sport. More real, old fashioned, non professional sport may be had here than In any other city of Europe. This is due in part to the allied troops of occupation, to the American officers and sail ers on station here, and the large number of American and British civilians who have come out for business since the armistice. what the Russian refugees have done in the way of enlivening the city with concerts, dancing places and queer restaurants, the other allies have done in sporting lines. Hunting I Good. In winter there is wild boar, duck and lox hunting. There is also, in and out of season, plenty of horseback riding over the dirt roads and unfenced stretches of upland country on both sides of the Bosphorus. Horse races are often held. Both the British and the Am ericans have laid out golf courses. There are also a few tennis courts The troops and sailors within the city have taken charge8 of a large field near Taxim, in the center of Pera, and there play football and baseball matches. Yachting and swimming are com monplace. Everybody Bathes Naked. The Russians from the Black sea, who are accustomed to bathe naked, have increased the popu larity of the beaches, especially a fine strip of sand on the Mar mora north shore known as Flor ida. There, without let or hin drance, men, women and children undress on the open beach and bathe in costumes that seem quite conventional here. The Turks have contributed chicken fights to the international sports. Friends of America Have Permanent Board for Protesting Wars RICHMOND, Ind.. July 25. What are the present, activities of the Quakers, has been asked re cently. Numerically, "the Friends of America," as tney are cahed, are a small body numbering about 115,000 but . distributed from coast to coast. On the Atlantic coast are New England. New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore and North Carolina yearly meetings; on the Pacific coast, California and Oregou yearly meetings, the latter ex tending into Washington and Idaho. Inland states in which Friends are well represented are Ohio. Indiana. Iowa and Kansas. American Quakerism has two capitals, the older and more con servative at Philadelphia. the newer at Richmond, Ind. Within a radius of 100 miles of Ricfimond are to be found approximately one-fourth of American Quakers. While intensely individualistic in principles and practice. Friends are learning how to unite for ac complishing worth while tasks. Otherwise they could not have joined so readily in perfecting the machinery of the' American Friends' Service committee, with headquarters at Philadelphia, which has done a monumental re lief work in Europe. The majority of the American yearly meetings are united in a national organization, the five years meetings of Friends In Am erica, which carries on a compre hensive and growing work at home and abroad. The headquar ters of this organization are lo cated in Richmond, where the ex ecutive staffs of the national boards are housed in their own of fice building. Friends have long been active in foreign mission work. Few as they are In numbers, their mis sionary efforts well nigh encircle the globe, including work in Ja pan. China. India, Africa. Syria. Mexico. Central America, Cuba and Jamaica. At home a principal concern of Friends is Tor the cause of inter national peace and good will. Theirs is regarded here as the only religious body having a national board on peace. Just now it is very active in the fight for uni versal disarmament. In addition to a number of pri vate secondary schools, Quakers support 10 colleges, not including Bryn Mawr, which is controlled by a board of trustees composed of Friends.

SMOKE CASE WILL BET Montana Rancher Sues Cop per Company After Death Of Livestock FORT BENTON", Mont.. July 7. Montana's famous "smoke case" in which the Anaconda Copper company was sued in a test case by a Montana ranchman for tlie death of farm animals, caused. :i U alleged in the petition, by poisonous gases from the Ana conda company's smelters, will on tried again. The jury nearng tne case here was unable ?o agress on the merits of much technical tes timony toy chemical experts. The test suit was filsjjl by Oscar B. Cioon, who alleged in his peti tion that cattle, horses and other of his farm animals had died aft er inhaling the smoke and gas from the smelting plant smoke stacks. He asked $27,000 dam ages. Upon the results of his suit will hinge other suits, it is de clared, involving more than 1000 animals in the vicinity ot Great Falls. I Trial of the recent suit con sumed nearly four weeks anc more than 150 witnesses were ex amined, including many experts who testified as to' the harmful and harmless contents of the smelter smoke and gase?. Expert chemists testified for the copper company that the pro cess of smelting in their plant wa such that it was impossible for the waste gases, to contain poison ous substances. They repeated chemical formulae to prove therr assertions. Experts for Goon charged that the cattle had died of arsenic and zinc poisoning after inhalng the smelter gases. This was to counteract testimony of the defense experts that the cat tie were victims of influenza. Mongoos Is Scourge to Growers of Sugarcane HONOLULU, T. H.. Aug. 19. Efforts to rid the Hawaiian is lands of the mongoos, a carniver ous animal which is regarded as the worst menace to island crops, have been begun by the territorial fish and game commission, in co operation with the Board of Su pervisors of Honolulu. The bounty on mongoos scalps bas been raised from fifteen to twenty-five cents by the super visors, who appropriated $499 for that purpose and annual cash prizes ranging from $5 to $25 to be given the five persons killing the largest numbers of the banned animal. The mongoos. an Inchneumon. is a product Of India where It oft en is domesticated because of its ability to kill the most deadly snakes without injury to itself. Because of its destructiveness to game, poultry and crops, the im portation of the mongoos to the United States was prohibited years ago.

Ill PROGRESS AUGUST 21. 1921 IMA CRISIS TS LONDON Week Preceding Derby Fail ure Compared With Gayety of Other Years DEBUTANTES ARE ABSENT Some Overseas Visitors In Town, But Not Enough to Help Hotels LONDON. .Tune 17.--All society :s bemoaning the failure of the London season. Tlie week preced ing the Derby should haveseen social gayety approaching" its height; but the widespread ef ects of the coal crisis have put a damper on the round of p.easureh scheduled for this time of the year, and old siagers find It hard to recall cny similar period when so l.ttle private eutenaining was done. No society debutantes are com ing to town. Shortage of mouey has caused many society folk to cancel their London engagements and to spend the summer as cheaply as possible in the coun try. By the king's desire, courts have been postponed and hotels and theaters are reporting slumps. Iol (antes Draw There are a number of oversea visitors In London, but "not, en ough to go round." as one hotel manager put it, and were it not for the Americans who have come over for the polo games, those who have to liva out of the profits made in the season would be in despair. Dressmakers, tailors, and enter tainment caterers are do.ng next to nothing, the reason being that he present period of industrial un rest makes it impossible to see a month ahead. Efforts were made to make the Henley Regatta a social success. Henley is always a gay dress pag eant. According to the fashion papers, the modish colors are yel low and red, with flower" and fruit designs and with " bats trimme.d with wreaths of imitation vege tables. Strike Clears Atmosphere The only benefit the coal strike has conferred upon London Is the absence of smoke and fog. The continued clearness of the atmos phere is surprising Londoners, who are discovering vlewB of their city the existence of which they hardly suspected. Public health has benefitteo very greatly, according to official health statistics. There has been an astonishing' decrease In bron chial and pulmonary complaints. Pneumonia cases have gone down as much as 50 per cent compared with March. Dr. John S. Owens, chief of the advisory committee! to the met eorological office on atmosphere pollution is the authority for say ing that London s air has now reached a purity never before at tained under modern conditions of life. North Dakota Teachers Are Coming to Oregon Just a few years apo rural dis tricts were having difficulty in finding suitable school teachers, as many who were competent to teach were securing positions In other occupations in towns and cities. , But now things are different. Many applications are coming in from eastern points from teach ers who want to come to the Wil lamette valley. Many are writing the county superintendent of their desire to teach In Marlon county, and a number are actually on their way west, trusting to luck in securing schools after their ar rival. This is especially true of teach ers living in North Dakota, where It seems that the Non Partisan leauge, along with cold weather, is causing many to leave that state.
