Wolf FONDLES GIRL
Who Was PLAYMATE
Beasts Ugly Disposition Vanishes
When Child Appears in Zoo.
spac;sl 10 The W.sbinuton Hsrah

Special to The Washington Herald
New York. Dec. 15.-Recognizing the ht-
tie girl who reared him on a nursing bot
tie, Bill, a savage wolf Of the New York
Geological Park. entirely transformed his
ugly disposition yesterday and fondled
and caressed 13-year-old Mildred Frost
of Yonkers.
Despite Bills general reputation for un-
friendliness, the wolf manifested q COM
plete change Of heart when the little girl
appeared at his cage. So much SO that
Mildred was allowed to renew a former
acquaintance which came about three
years ago. Monte. the mother of Bill.
was presented to the Zoo by Albert D.
Frost, father Of Mildred.
About a year later two cub wolves were
born. Little Mildred Immediately wanted
one of the wolves TO play with. Peter
Ramonoff, keeper, was sent to Yonkers
with the baby wolves in q pasteboard
box.
The cub wolves were received with open
arms by little Mildred She started to
rear them on q milk bottle.
Mr. and Mrs Frost resented Bills teal-
Gus guardianship Of their daughter and
thought It was about time they could ap-
proach her without the resentment OF the
wolf. Bill therefore went back to the
Geological Park about a year ago.

HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE
Urged FOR CAPITAL
Mrs. Julian Heath and Mrs. W. ].
Brown to Help Women Organize.

A housekeeper's league to combat high
prices is proposed for Washington by
Mrs. Julian Heath, of New York, presi-
dent of the National Housewives League,
who is here and willing to help organise
the women.
With Mrs. Heath is Mrs. William J.
Brown, of Baltimore. q prominent COO
nomic worker. The two, accompanied by
G. E. Lavigne, field representative Of the
American Fair Trade League, visited ssv-
eral Washington markets yesterday to
compare prevailing food prices with those
Of New York, Baltimore and other largo
cities
They found the prices on staple food
commodities. such as eggs, butter and po-
tatoes, varied greatly, not only in the DIFF
ferent markets. but frequently in stalls
in the same market only a few feet from
each other.
Civic organizations are interested In the
visit OF Mrs. Heath and Mrs Brown and
1t is said the formation of a housekeep-
ers' league will take definite form within
several days.
Mrs. Heath said that the work of such
league was not aimed at the dealers,
but at the larger interests through whose
monopoly both the dealer and consumer
are being forced to pay high prices. She
said Washington has not suffered from
the very high prices for eggs and butter
by which New York has been victimized.
but declared that IL an egg boycott were
instituted here dealers would be allowed
q slightly larger margin of profit and
prices to the consumer would not be 30

Rail AGENCIES UNITE
To CUT living COST
Demurrase Rates Go Up and Recon
signment Reform Is Begun.

Prospects for breaking the high cost
Of living and particularly the coal fam
Inc seem brighter
The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday permitted to become effective
radically increased car demurrase
charges, while traffic officers Of the prtn-
cipal trunk line railroads met in Wash
ington and decided that an attempt must
be made to expedite reconsignment OF
freight cars to prevent delays in delivery.
Higher demurrage rates are expected
to force both shippers and railroads to
hasten car movements and keep rolling
stock busy moving the country's food
and coal.
The railroad traffic Officers hit upon the
present reconsignment system as weak
spot in car movement When a car
changes over from one railroad to an
other It must be reconsigned. This has
caused delays and traffic officers are de-
ternnined to speed UP this process.
The new demurrage and per diem rates
will remain in effect until May l and
thereafter unless the car shortage is re-
neyed.
