Mrs. Emil palienpere. the little woman
who will make shaggy bears 20 on
roller skates, walk on stills. ride
bicycles and do many other amusing
tricks when the Barnum & Bailey circus
shows here on May i3 IS romantic
figure In the circus world Unlike most
animal trainers, she is not Of a family
OF circus performers In fact she never
saw or dreamed Of seeing a circus up
TO four years ago.
She was just eighteen years old and
was chief aid TO her father in the
management Of a little inn In Holland
when Emil Pallenberg, long famous as
a bear trainer, visited the place. He was
giving performance In nearby
village. 10 was raining and a heavy
storm threatened The young trainer
sought shelter for bis bears in the barn
Of the inn and likewise refreshment and
shelter for himself The storm broke
in ell its fury, lasting for nearly three
days. In the meantime pallenberg and
the innkceper's daughter were much
In each other company During the
third night pallcnberg and his bears
disappeared and, with them, disappear
ed the innkeeper's daughter. They
were married the following morning
and In few weeks received the
parental blessings by mail. the inn
keeper having recovered from his FIRST
rage and deciding TO make the best Of
what he considered a bad bargain,
Before the pallenbergs reached this
country TO Join the Barnum a Bailey
organization the bear trainer had
taught his bride the secrets Of handling
his animals Now she is the start Of
the act and has no more fear OF the
vicious animals she controls than she
has Of the little boy who was born TO
her just before the circus started on the
road last season.

1,O25 LOCOMOTIVES

WASHINGTON, May i.-Contracts for
building i,O25 locomotives Of a standard
type have been awarded by Director
General Of Railroads McAdoo 10 the
American Locomotive Works. The con-
tracts call for the expenditure Of ap-
proximately S60000,00O The locomo-
tiyes will be placed wherever there is
the greatest need. Deliveries are to be-
gin in July.i
Awarding Of these contracts marks
the establishment by the Government
of standards in locomotive construc-
tlon. The specifications were developed
by committees of experts from various
railroads, who worked for months. It
is expected that the standard l0como-
tives eventually will supersede the
great number and variety now in SER
vice and be simplined, cheaper and re-
qulre less expert labor
1t is said the terms are much more
favorable than those originally sub
mtted.

LUMBER DOING IT'S BIT
South Carolina Pine Helping to Win
the War

Southern lumber, the kind that
grows in the State Of South Carolina,
is doing its bit
While men in Washington are not
exactly agreeing over the details, saw
null men are turning out their maxi
mum of timber and South Carolina
pine is helping. Men \tno know have
said there must be ships, and in order
to build ships there must be lumber.
There is no doubt that the piney
woods in this section Of the State is
turning out is share Of the timber.
Lumbermcn declare that never be-
tore has there been as much timber
cut. More trees are being fclled today
than any other time in American his
tory. I'VE have been called upon to
help, and are trying to deliver the
goods" said one lumberman.
Saw mills are being built far into
the forest and tall pines are falling
beneath the blades OF the sawyers
There are many, many saw mills, and
. they are cutting the lumber and the
trains are hauling it to ship yards.
! Trees that lowered maJcstically in the
forest few weeks ago are now tax
ing on the form of ships. 1t is a fight
for democracy, lumbcrmcn declare.
An Illustration Of tn splendid work
OF the saw mills is given in the con-
Structlon of the thirty-two army
camps in the United States. This tool;
thousands of feet of lumber The lum-
Der had to be obtained and it was
cut and shipped to the sites where the
camps were to be built and few
weeks later thousands Of houses for
the future soldiers Of the nation were
going up.
" In the same manner" timbcrmer
declare, 1--WE have been called upon fol
more timber. Not for army camps
this time but for the construction OF
ships, ships and more ships. These
ships must be built in order to defeat
the submarine and win the war We
are doing our best to supply the de.
mand. There are Il great many things
that we cannot say on account Of tho
censor, but 1t is permitted to say that
there Is tremendous demand for tim
Der. And we are doing our best tC
supply it,"
The government has printed the fol.
lowing poster for lumbormcn, which
has appeared over the country:
"To lumbcrmcn:
"For the support of our soldiers in
France the government must have
wooden ships.
"Without ships the war can not be
won.
"Without timber the ships can not
be built.
Our country looks to you!
"Evcry swing Of an axe, every cut
of saw may score as heavily as shot
fired from the trenches. Help our bows
in France. With them WIN the war.
"Make the world safe for dcmoc-
racy."
