DEER BEG FOR FOOD
Invade Houses in Yellowstone in
Search of Grub.
Animals 50 Tanned by U. s. Protection
They Follow People
Around.

Denver.-Deer, which invade kitch-
ems of houses in search of food, and
beggar bears, which waylay automo-
bile tourists and pedestrians along the
roads, are examples of the extent to
which the protection furnished by the
government to the wild game within
the boundaries of the various national
parks has tanned the animals, accord
Ing to Horace NJ. Albright, superin-
tendent of Yellowstone National park,
and assistant to Stephen Al. Mather,
director Of national parks, who came
to Denver recently to attend the meet
Ing of park officials.
zone night shortly before / left, l
went to a dance" said Mr.. Albright.
II took home a pitcher of cider and
plate of doughnuts. When l reached
the house 1 placed them on a back
step, while I unlocked the door. A
noise behind me caused me to look
around and there was big mule deer
with his nose buried in the pitcher OF
cider. He followed me into the house
for one of the dOughnuts, and when
gave 1t to him, he trotted Off"
It is no unusual sight, declared Al
bright, to see deer entering and leav-
Ing a house In Yellowstone. Small
children feed them from their hands,
and beggar bears, he declared, have
come to be one Of the biggest attrac-
tons Of the park.
"They wait beside the road until an
auto or party of pedestrians approach,
and then get up on their hind legs and
extend their front paws for cOntribu-
TONS" Albright said
The tameness of the animals has Its
drawbacks as well, because 1T makes
them easy for pot hunters If they hap
pen to stray beyond the park boun-
diaries.

A man was on our streets one day
last week. handing out samples OF a
liriment which was labeled "19 per
cent alcohol" with some other fiery
elements. One of the men he gave
the samples to tried to take his in
ternally. 1t fairly burned his mouth
out, and he was suffering horribly
when he was taken into Gerig's drug
store for relief. If any of the mix
ture had reached his stomach it would
have killed him. Mayor Anderson
says he will instruct the police to
keep such sample-spreaders out of
town.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
/ CHICAGO, Mar. 10.-The future
price of gasolinet hinges on success in
making new oil strikes, according to
oil men attending the national PEI
troleum congress here today.
New oil strikes only, in the opinion
Of operators will prevent another soar
in the price of gasoline now selling
from twenty-five to twenty-nine cents
q gallon, according to the locality.
There Is great shortage of oil, :"
said Thomas 0. Harris, secretary OF
the Independent Oil and Gas Pro-
ducers association, Shreveport, La
ut is impossible to hazard q pre-
diction as to the future.
Permits to allow operation Of wells
in Mexico, recently granted Ameri-
cans by President Carranza, will ease
the situation some. But it all depends
on success in making new strikes"
Harris believes the untapped oil re-
sources Of this country amount to con-
siderably more than is generally
thought. He predicted the near fu-
ture will see fuel oil displacing coal
in hotels.
Several hotels in the south, he said,
have started using fuel oil.
