Bagdad, The onanger or wild ass is becoming increas ingly scarce in southwestern Asia, but up near the Iranian border, we managed to see a small band pf them. They had been spotted the day before and after five hours of rugged driving, we 7-8-58 got in sight of them for a minute or so. They were a good mile away, in a grassy space near a fold in the hills. Two were colts, not much more than two months old at the most, since May and June are the foaling months. As we looked at them, the whole band suddenly fled at a gallop. A little later, and much nearer, we saw a stallion. His cinnamon-colored coat glis tened in the sun as he took off in a burst of speed that Silky Sullivan might envy. They are so wild because they are hunted both for sport and food. Their flesh is said to be like venison, though of a much finer quality. . And that is the reason, plus the high-powered rifle, why they are becoming increasing ly rarer. To Inspire Family Pleasure to embroider, a treasure your family will ap preciate every day of the year.

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist In the early part of the 1900s, it was not uncommon for herds numbering as many as 1,000 to be found from northern Iraq east and north through Iran into Afghanistan and Kazakstan. But now that so many of these people have acquired modern rifles in place of the old trade guns that were actually less effec tive than a strong bow, the sight of a herd of 100 is re markable. Though the Arabs used to capture wild asses occasionly using fast camels, by the way it doesn't happen very often now. They only succeed ed in capturing foals, and to day's survivors, as we saw, aren't taking any chances on humans, of any kind. Bray Different As to how much blood of the onanger there may be in the domesticated donkey, I don't know. It probably isn't very much. Most of the don keys used in the west are de cendants of an African wild ass. His feet are broader than the onanger's and his ears are larger and longer. In addition, his bray is different. The on anger and other Asiatic wild asses are said to squeal and make guttural sounds quite unlike the peculiar razzing of the donkey. Since asses generally are stronger work animals than horses and live longer, and since in the wild state they give every indication of being as fleet as any horse, it seems strange that greater efforts have not been made to domes ticate onangers.

SIZES ' , 2-10 , FURNITURE Portland's 'Secretary of the Year' Finds It Difficult To Get Work Done By DOUGLAS CRIPP United Press International Portland UPI The only problems about being "Secretary of the Year" is that you can't get your work done. And you have to work harder too. That is the gentle complaint of Mrs. Genevieve Bell, 44, of Portland, who was given the award a week ago at the National Secretaries Associa tion conclave in Minneapolis. Told to Take Day Off Mrs. Bell, who works for a Portland plastic surgeon, has had so many congratulatory visits and phone calls that she's finding it difficult ,to catch up. Her first day back from the convention she was late for work, but her boss, Dr. Verner Lindgren, didn't care. He told her to take the day off and relax which she said she couldn't do. Although a veteran of 24 years a s a secretary, Mrs, Bell dislikes the term, "career woman." She's been married for 17 of those years to a psy chology professor at Portland State College, Keith Bell, and is as devoted to her home as to the office. Likes to Play Golf When not practicing her secretarial skills or homemak ing, she likes to golf, fish or listen to classical music. Mrs. Bell is a brown-haired, studi ous type with a warm smile and a soft voice and she be littles the tough, machine-like efficiency of the so-called ACCUSING him of slaying Mrs. Edith Atkins, Klamath Falls, Ore., police are hold ing William Thomaston, San Jose, Calif., contractor.
