I MEDFORD MSTT TRIBUNE. MTCDrOttTTi, 'OTCTXiOy, TTTUTCftDAY, Of'TOBTCTJ 12 1022 PAGE FIVE J STORE HOUSE AT The headquarters of Crater Lake National park were removed from gov ernment camp In tho park to the win ter office la the federal building here last Saturday, with the arrival ol Hairy H. Long, secretary of Superin tendent Alex Sparrow, who with Mrs. Sparrow is still at tUe.lake and will be there .ppsslbly for .eight or ten days yet, depending on the weather, looking afterj improvement work still being done there by a small force. Mr., and Sirs. Sparrow are residing in thb Bniall cubtn adjacent to the headquarters building at government camp, and the bears of the national park who arc very temperamental, as tiiov -iilwuva crow ravenous ami ti-mi- I blesome after the lodge has closed and ,. there is no lodge refuse pile to feed on. They seem to resent the fact that thej have to rustle through the forest toi their food, and hence they always raiu the food cache of the government camp kitchen, using almost human in telllgenco In so doing. Last Saturday night they broke Ink. the kitchen Btore Iioubo of that camp, took awny 101) pounds of fresh meal and some other gjodles. Sunday night they broke into the kitchen and, ac coidlng to a phone message receiveu in tl;o city next day, held a reunion there and had lots ot fun. Then too, the story reached here that one big bear chased another one to the roof of tho Sparrow cabin and carried oil a fierce argu ment on that high perch. The super intendent went out and ordered them off, reinforcing his arguments with the elaborate and usually effective vocab u ulary he had acquired in bis many ' years service in the United States army, Including the Spunish mongrei language with which bo had become rfment in service in the Philippines anu luba. This alone would bring any ordinary bear down. But the two extraordinary Cratei Lake bruins merely looked down with contempt on the retired and much overheated ex-anny sergeant, and went on with their scrapping, even when he came out with an old broom and waveu It up at them, and addressed them as a noisy set of "nosey, noisey, hardboiled contemptible curs." At least it sound ed something like that down at Fort Klamath, in the very still, cold night nlr at that high altitude. Anyhow, next mo;ning Superlnten dent Sparrow called up Harry Homer l-ong, his faithful Friday, on the tele phone at the office here, and explained the conduct of tho Crater Lake bears until tho wires molted and spoiled the If connection, but not until after he had HrBt .ordered Long to send up to the , lake, forthwith a powerful and good shotgun and lots of shells. " It lis against the federal law, you know, to kill a bear or any other wild animal in a national park, but it is permissablo to rill bears with small shot, and powder for educative, food protecting and sleep inducing pur poses.

LOCAL RED CROSS I E Within the past two weeks the Red Cross has given service in four rases of Juvenile delinquency which have been referred to the Home Service department of the lied Cross by the court. The problem of the boelnl re sponsibilities of the community for its young people is a serious one. Trained social service la a requisite in handling these delicate cases. The splendid cn-operntion ot the oourt and of the county officials is a matter of congratulation on the purl of the Hcd Cross which Is Inltiatlnr; ItB enlarRed social program In the community supplementing the Vork of the court by offering lis services for investigation und In the ruse of the dependent or the socially handi capped. The Juvenile cases that have been brought before tho Ited Cross have been of young boys and Bills who have been led into wrong or oues tonahle companionships and whose course requires some gnidnnce or W. ulvlce. We are nil familiar with -the "coii- litloned" boy and I'lrl In tho school rades and realize that thev cnriv a handicap.

In Its so- inl service department, stands ns an tgenry that will help to right these ondltions. Perhaps motherless children are. through lack of proper home influ ences, running Into social dangers? Tho Red Cross may be enlisted to go into the home, gain n knowledge ot family conditions, nnd will help to meet the woman who will co Into the motherless home ns housekeeper. lvlng the necessary caro.

In the terms of community service nut social welfare- the : Ked Cross presents a practical program.. It; work requires the endorsement and hacking of the public and in its re suits, which will be presented to the public fairly nnd frankly, will this backing nnd endorsement find its best Justification. "Reported Missing," Rlalto uwen aiooTe and Tom Wilson are deserving of a place in 'the Hall of Fame for their laugh-producing perfor mance nt tho Uialto theatre yesterday In tho special, "Reported Missing. Thrills and laughs follow in quick suc cession and the story never lots down for a second. In addition it contains ono of the most villainous villains that ever scuttled a ship or cut a throat The wily Oman, Oriental shipowner who tries to deprive Owen Moore, Richard Boyd, of hts right to purchase a fleet upon which he has an option, is certainly a 100 per cent screen scoundrel. Nita Naldi, of Follies fame, and .Pauline Garon, flapper de luxe, won their way into the hearts of all the males present. Among the thrilling scenes are race between a sea sled and a hydro aeroplane, a shipwreck, and a fight in the Oriental villain's stronghold. Policeman's Home Story, Page . The Page theater has a winner this week In "In the Name of the Law, story of the San Francisco police, which opened yesterday. The story is strong, easy to under stand, and plain peoplo, a patrolman and his' family, wife, two sons and girl adopted to take the place of child that died. These five people, with a few characters that touch their lives, make up the personnel of the cast. - . There is no mawklshness about the picture. Its sentiment, and there is a good deal of It, Ib sound and grows out of the situations. Perhaps much of this sanity Is due to the acting, which Is excellent throughout. Claire McDowella very capable act ress In whatever she undertakes, the mother. She plays the part for sympathy without mushiness, with a tremulous tenderness that goes to the heart. . Ralph Lewis Is the policeman and is an honor to that body ot men, even though at times he seems hard and unable to believe a man may be ac cused and still be innocent." There are other short pictures and music, by "Betty" Drown, organist. TAX TOURISTS 10 WEIMAR, Germany, Oct. 12.
