looms of different kinds and sends
them up at the various stations over
the United States to bring down rec
ords of the upper air. These are sent
up from day to day and the results
are telegraphed all over the country.
1t is partially from them that our

looms are filled with hydrogen of a
quality which is difficult to obtain.
Indeed, there are only one or two
places in the country where it can be
had. The result is that the govern

Needy citizens can obtain small sums

the exorbitant rates of interest

National Pawnshop is Now Proposed

less than ~ per cent. per annum.
Moreover, with the possible exception
of France, where the government ex-
ercises complete monopoly of the
pawnbroking business, the national
and municipal institutions have sue
cessfully combated strong competi-
ton from private concerns that have
been permitted to charge much higher
rates of interest.
The pawnshop of Amsterdam, the
oldest and probably the most lenient
in the world, is known as the Bank
control of the municipality since 1914,
and now has fifteen branches through
out the city The average rate OF
interest is less than 10 per cent. a
year. Still the bank is able to main
tain working balance of more than
$1,000,000. In France the pawnbrok-
ing business is strictly government
monopoly, which the Mont de Piete,
the nations pawnbroking concern, has
enjoyed for more than fifty years.
Much the same policy as outlined
in the Dutch and French institutions
is followed in municipal and govern
mental pawnshops in Germany, Rou-
mania, Italy and Russia. The aver
age interest charge is about ~ per
cent, the patrons are protected as
fully as possible and every incentive
is offered to redeem pledges.

Zoo Keeper Gored by Enraged Buffalo

n ORED by bull buffalo, James e.
" Dean, keeper at the Geological
Park, Is in critical condition at the
emergency hospital with a compound
fracture of the skull. Dean. who is
one of the oldest employees OF the zoo
in point of service, was attacked after
he had given the animal its dinner
and while he was cleaning its pen.
Prompt and brave assistance of ]. j..
Kreamer a Waterman at the park,
given at risk of serious injury to HIM
self, probably saved Dean from being
killed by the enraged brute.
The bull buffalo is confined in a
small pen in the western part of the
park. 1t is Deans duty to feed the
animal and keep the pen clean. Dean
placed the feed for the bull in one
corner of the pen.
Engrossed in his work, Dean grad
ually became careless in his move
ments about the pen and forgot to
keep a weather eye out. He turned
his back on the bull, intent on his
work, when the beast made a sudden
rush at him. Dean was unprepared
for the attack, and the animal was
upon him almost before he could move
out of his tracks. The buffalo vicious
" rushed at him with his head close
