(UP) Harried by unceasing raids of hungry bears, Yellowstone Park rang ers admit they are stumped when It comes to stopping bruin's petty pilfer ing. The rangers seek a way to discour age over-friendly black bears, and to drive them away without Inflicting permanent Injuries thereby saving the content of well-stocked larders. Park Rangers "Gyp" Wylle and rrank Chllds thought they had found the solution In the use of tear gas. Three black bears, ranging In age from two to five year, were selected as subjects for the experiment. The first bear was fired upon at a distance of 25 feet. The tiny ten-Inch gun almost leaped from Wylle'e hand. The gaa sprayed the head and one aide of the bear, but only startled him by the loud report, and he loped away alowlr. Bear number two received the full charge In bis face at a distance of ten feet. At the detonation of tne is. gauge shell, the bear Jumped, ran ahort distance and then quite un Mncernedlv. returned to the m?at craps he had been eating. Finally a five-year-old mother was approached. Meat scraps enticed her within five feet of the spot where TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY Wylle stood with the tear-gas gun. Chllds stood by with a camera to photograph results. The bear sniffed at the lunch and looked Inquiringly at Wylle. "Boom," went the tear-gaa gun, while the camera clicked. But the bear did not go; she simply flinched, glanced at her cubs, and then settled down to enjoy the meat scraps. f Texans Plan Tax Discount. BEEVTLLE. Tex.

Many great stars ot the legitimate stage, musical shows and, later, Fanchon and Marco revues, were presented here always to capac ity crowds. In the last few years, however, stage shows have almost passed out of the picture, not only In Medford, but throughout the country. But recently here has been a return to "flesh" en tertainment, and next Wednesday the Craterian theater win have the first big vaudeville show to play here In several years, on the stage for a one day engagement. Coming here direct from a record breaking tour of the key cities of the northwest, Ches Davis' Chicago Follies will Inaugurate a new era of stage entertainment. If the show Is receiv ed as expected, Medford will once again be a regular date for other shows to come. Tentative plans now call for a regular booking of vaude ville shows every other week at the Craterian. The Cu&hman Agency, nationally known booking company, Is now arranging for a complete new show on alternate weeks, with the Chicago Follies as the first of the presentations to be shown here. Besides Ches Davis, the show also includes the Little Johns, Frank Starr, Pattl Patterson, Anita Muth, Lewis and Ethel, the Mathew Twins, Phil Lopaa and Chet Wllley with his Ttn Barbarians, a group of talent that has singing, dancing, comedy and mualo as its nucleus. On the screen, George Brent, Bette Davis and Ann Dvorak will be seen In "Housewife," a comedy drama. Charlie Chan Is Coming To Rialto Charlie Chan, portrayed by Warner Oland, solves another blood -chilling mystery in "Charlie Chan's Courage," coming to the Rialto theater tomor row. Who threw the deadly knife that killed a faithful Chinese servant? Why did a pet parrot scream, "Help I Murder!"? Who killed the bird, 1 lenclng that scream forever? Who had been murdered at a millionaire's lonely desert mansion . . . and where was the body? These are the questions bristling forth from the Earl Derr Bigger story "The Chinese Parrot," that have to be solved by the enigmatic oriental detective created on the screen by Warner Oland. It Is one of his most baffling mysteries. The leading feminine role has been given to beautiful Drue Ley ton, tal ented star of the Broadway stage, who makes her debut In a leading motion picture role In "Charlie Chan's Cour age." Donald Woods has the Juve nils lead opposite her. Gable, Colbert In Excellent Picture "It Happened One Night,1 which la now playing at the Roxy theater, co- starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, Is definitely a must-see. It surpasses every expectation and matter what kind or production you usually like, "It Happened One Night" Is sure-fire entertainment of the highest caliber. Gable is cast as an adventurous newspaperman who Insults his women first and loves them afterwards. Miss Colbert Is a runaway society heiress accustomed to riding roughshod over the erst of the world. Just what hap pens when these two are forced to spend a week together . . but the sory's loo good to be bandied about You'll thank us for It later see If you don't. u Scarlet Empress" Is Lavish Film Something vividly different in mo tion picture entertainment was brought to the screen of the Craterian theater yesterday when Marlene Diet rich's new starring vehicle, "The Scar let Empress," opened Its three-day engagement. Lavishly mounted, filled with a splendor and a magnitude that ts seldom seen on the screen, "The Scar let Empress" likewise offers Marlene Dietrich a chance to do something In the way of acting. Her portrayal of Sophia Fredericks, and later, Cather ine the Great, Is one of her best. In many ways, "The Scarlet Emp ress" has subtle uses of silent day technique to make Its action even more pronounced. The musical score Is a treat for music lovers. Particu larly Is this true of the sequence which features the famous "Kamlnot Ostrow," a triumph of Instrumental, choral and ringing melody.
