BANDITS LAIR
WILL Be ODDED

LIVINGSTONE, June A bandit
stronghold may be added to the
Yellowstone National Park. The Jack
son Hole country-once the resort of
bad men of every class-is the strip
wnich it is proposed to attach to the
reservation.
For thirty years, Jackson's Hole
has played an important part in lurid
literture as well as in sensational
fact Thousands of ((wild wesD) stor-
les have mentioned that bullet swept
region where criminals fled from
posses and where a comparatively few
men could hold a company of soldiers
Mt bay.
Representative Mondoll, of Wyom-
ing, is fostering a measure TO add
about 10000 acres of Wyoming public
land south of the park to the Yellow
stone reservation. There are very few
homesteaders on this land and it is
believed that their claim can be sad-
justed without difficulty.
The tract is the leading reason for
the desire to add it to the desire to ad
it to the. Lofty mountains, many OF
of them covered with dense forest
rico Ion irio
which once were desert, stretch for
miles Hundreds of striking butteG
whose crannies furnishes hiding places
and Notifications for Indians, and
robbers, and fugitives, dot the country.
Grand Teton Mountain and Mount
Moran are included in the proposed
addition but Jackson's Hole is perhaps
the best known spot. Again and again,
in pioneer days, Indians flashed into
this depression and disappeared But
men learned the secrets of the Hole
and often they got there few horse
jumps ahead of their pursuers. AS
late as 1914, the crags echoed to the
clatter of hoofs and the whine of bull
let's. On July 30, of that year, two
bandits held up 10 Yellowstone park
coaches and after robbing more than
one hundred tourists, escaped to the
Hole. Soldiers searcher and searched
and found nothing.
Now, Representative Mondell hopes
to change the order of things His
plan provides that hotels be built
where the Red Men once pitched their
tepees; that comfortable lodges be
erected among the crannies of the
bandits and that the government shall
see to it no tourist is held up-not
even by hotel men.

WOMEN MAKERS OF
AMERICAN MASKS

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Women
who, as wives, mothers, and sisters of
soldiers have a deep realization of the
necessity for painstaking care in their
work, make the gas masks for the
American army.
Somewhere in the United States"
at plant whose location for obvious
easons is not made public, thousands
Of them are engaged in the delicate
and intricate operations, and in con-
Quoting tests on the finished products.
They have been organized in military
fashion, and specially selected for
the work.
ut soon became apparent that the
type of women needed could not be
secured through the ordinary chan
nels of employment" says state
ment of the Gas Defense service, that
section of the surgeon generals office
which controls the manufacture, land
men were sent to localities display
ing service flag to secure the services
of women vitality interested, who
would be most loyal i'm their work,
and extremely anxious to send out
perfect gas-masks."
Sewing face pieces, assembling
sections, and making sure that the
the finished mask will be impervious
to gas requires whole series OF
complicated operations. Schools were
established, and, the women selected
were trained in special courses until
they became proficient in all the
divisions of the task, the statement
adds
After that they were assembled in
divisions, companies, platoons and
SQUADS, under women leaders, and
the Defense service says that the
method produced unusual results
both in discipline and control of pro-
duction. Friendly rivalry as to the
quantity and quality of output is
carried on between the different com
panies."
Soldiers who have experienced the
horrors of being "gassed" have lectur-
cd to the workers, and special motion
pictures have impressed upon them
just how the deadly fumes against
which the work of their hands is the
only defense, are used. At the same
time, the government has paid special
attention to welfare work, the state
ment says, and at the immense plant
hospital rest room and recreation
facilities have been provided

Training Camp Activities, has been
speaking in various parts of the coun-
try on the cleanup" program of the

Although the subject of my
speeches are all on the social hy-

is necessary to adapt the speeches
carefully to the different audiences"
says DR.. Davis.
At luncheon given by the Kan

spoke about the responsibility of the
women of a city for its clean moral
condition.
To 1000 high-school boys and girls
she spoke quite differently, using as
a text the points of the Patriotic
League pledge, emphasizing the char
acter and conduct part of it and the
possibilities for young peoples SER
vice in war time. To a mass meet
ing of women she spoke of the duty
OF informing themselves concerning
social hygiene and the governments
policy in regard to the problem, and
particularly stressed womans share
in the formation of public opinion.
Lectures to the Kansas City Society
for the Prevention of Vice and gen

With the war over. there is no need

Mr.. Garland, who has been in Wash

He did not believe it would be nee

II do believe" said Mr. Garland,
that when people drst began to pour
into Washington for war work. Con-
gress should have provided for
board Of rent administrators for
Washington, men Of rectitude in the
community. who could have handled
the problem. The real estate dealers
of Washington, whom have found
to be men OF high principles, wanted
legislation Of this kind.
From my own experience I know
that there have been outlawry prices
charged for rooms and apartments
here. Apartments were being offered
for rent at 5000 and 5000 a month that
I could get in my city Of Los Angeles
for SIS.
'aThe fact that I had the co-opera-
tion of the local real estate men in
trying to find place to live shows
that they had nothing to do with
these prices. But people came in here
from outside and secured these apart
ments, furnishing them in many cases
