GARB IN RGUf. ANA IS
LIKE PICTURE PUZZLE
People Have Had to Depend on
American. Red Cross for.
What C,,,thes They Got.

For close on six years new clothing
has been an unknown commodity in
the market places of ROumania. What
clothing did reach the country came
from American Red Cross warehouses
and was distributed among the need.
lest of the needy-the men, women
and children who went barebacked
during the winter months, with 70
warm walls wherein to take frpfNye
from the cold, with no fuel, and no
heat-producing food to put in their
stomachS.
In the villages, the average peas
ants garb looks more like picture
puzzle than a suit of clothes. 1t Is
hard to determine where the patches
end and the clothes begin. Bnrlap
sacking has largely taken The place of
the pre-war homespuns. People have
resorted to makeshift garments in
endless variety and color.
When the inhabitants of country
district gather for an American Red
Cross distribution of food and cloth
ing, the assembage strikes the eye as
would an outdoor carnival. All the
colors of the rainbow are there, from
the shrieking crimson that the peasant
affects to the dizziest green's and vel
lows. Only the emaciated faces lack
the carnival flush. and the eyes are
war-tired.
To match cloth with the mems and
wOmen's garments ut such distribu-
ton would be out of the question. The
top of soldiers red cap covers the
worn portion of farm-hand's trou-
sers. An army blanket has been
pressed into service to patch moth.

girls light blue skirt has been brought
to its proper length with hunk OF
rude burlap.
Z The cloth manufacturers of Rou-
mania have been devoting most OF
their time to equipping the army with
-Roumanian field gray. and as yet their
establishments haven't been able to
return to a peace basis. Wholesale
tailoring plants have never been
numerous or up-to-date in Roumania.
Importing the necessary clothing from
other countries has been found next
to impossible owing to- the collapse OF
railway transportation, which itself
has to be built up before there can he
any serious effort to clothe the people.
The neighboring Balkan countries are
themselves waiting for outside sup
plies of clothing.

Idaho Scores
in Race for
r. 0. T. G.. Bars

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Aug
ust 2.-Highest honors at the r. o.
T. c. comp, which closed on July
2Sth at Camp Kearney, California,
were carried by the University of
Idaho. On competitive scoring
system which was based on daily
markings by instructors, the Uni
versity of Idaho cadets triumphed by
a substantial margin over represen-
tatives from all other schools and
colleges in the western department.
Over 100 cadets received the in
tensive course of training in the six
weeks R. O. T. c. camp at Camp
Kearney this year. The University
of Idaho sent fifteen representatives
of whom five will be given regular
commissions upon receiving their
degrees from the university. Col
onel E. R. Crisman, head of the
military department at the Univer-
sity of Idaho, was the commanding
officer Of the camp.
The peerless performance of the
University of Idaho students at the
camp this year is only consistent
with the remarkable records estab-
lished by Idaho men at previous
camps, both during the war and
since. This is the first time, how
ever, that the Idaho cadets as a
group have had the opportunity to
have definitely proved their superb
ority on an accurate point system.
The scheme used for grading the
cadets this year was developed by
Colonel Chrisman, and involves the
daily scoring of the work of each
group by experienced army officers
and drillmasters, of whom over 100
were assigned to the camp. Out of
a possible 1926 points, the Idaho
students in the senior advanced
course scored 1858 and were out
distanced by the University of CAL
ifornia only four points. In the
senior basic course, however, the
Idaho cadets left the remainder of
the field behind, so that the average
for the two gave the University of
Idaho undisputed first place.
The University of Idaho boys in
the advanced course were P. T. Row
ell of Lewiston; T. H. Shrontz of
Lohgmont, Colo; Carl A. Burke of
Star; J. Fred Cline of Moscow, and
j. F. Chod of Salmon. The Idaho
representatives in the basic course
were G. w. Friedman, J. S. Gill and
H. w. Thompson of Moscow; o. w.
Lemon of Middleton; G. j. Gill of
Sioux Falls, S. D.; S. w. Robinson
of Caldwell; S. l.. Sampson of Kel-
logg; R. M. Matthieson and A. H.

WINTER EFFECT
ON PARK DENIZENS
Census of Wild Animals
Shows Them
Normal

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The high
cost of wild animals. occasioned by
the World war, has had serious
effect on the collections in the ZOO
logical parks of most. American
cities, but a recent census of wild
life in the greatest game preserve
in the United States, Yellowstone no
tional park, proves that the elk,
bear, deer and beaver families are
in no sense fearful of the future,
according to bulletin issued from
the Washington headquarters OF the
National Geographic society.
"A spendid increase in the num-
Der of young wild animals In this
preserve has been observed this year
by national park service officials,
who early in the spring feared that
the abnormally severe winter would
cut down seriously the newborn OF
the many species which make the
park their home" says the bulletin.
Elk Increase Large
"Among the elk especially the
calves are more than Is per cent
of the total herds, as compared with
a yearly average of about IA per
cent. Officials are more gratified
at the increase in elk than any other
animal, because Of the terrible
slaughter which occurred when some
herds wandered out of the park into
Montana last iwnter.
Bear cubs have received almost
as warm welcome as the young elk.
While adult bears suffered little
from the iwnter, which they slept
thru, probably not knowing snow
was on the ground, scores persisted
at the hands of hunters before the
alternating season began, when
early fall storms drove them out OF
the park. eBars are among the most
interesting survivals of wild Ameri-
can game, and are not dangerous If
unmolested, so that Yellowstone Of
ficials believe that closed season
in the adjacent states should be es-
tablished to prevent determination.
No animals give more pleasure to the
thousands of Americans who visit
Yellowstone each year than the
bears, especially the playful cubs,
which already are learning the beg
cling habits of their mothers and
wheedling candy and other sweets
from tourists.
Deer Better Rustlers
Deer suffered from the hard win
ter. which buried their pasturage un-
der many feet of snow, but being
browsing rather than grazing ami
mails like the elk, they came thru
with less damage. Fawns have been
seen frequently by summer visitors,
one especially on the terraces at
Mammoth hot springs becoming
quite tame and being photographed
almost as much as the bear cubs or
Old Faithful geyser.
1.-THE indefatigable beaver, who
cannily stores his food for the Win
ter season, was not disturbed by
the hard times while his pantry was
we'll stocked. Yellowstone park
boasts some of the finest examples
of beaver architecture in existence,

notably the houses and dam on the
road from Tower falls to Mammoth
hot springs, where large and grow
ing community is sheltered.
"Porcupines, having adjusted
their digestion to bark and twigs Of
trees, had food within each all win
ter The tame buffalo were bounti-
fully fed from the time grass was
covered until spring came, and the
wild herd likewise obtained ample
food somehow, for they have shown
satisfactory increase. alternating
animals other than bears, such as
ground squirrels, groundhogs, go
pliers, chipmunks and skunks, like
wise suffered little from the lengthy
winter, but small animals that do
not sleep probably persisted in num-
bers.
Park Vegetation Improves
Zone effect of the hard weather
beneficial to the animals was the
improvement of the park vegetation.
Abundant moisture and the late
spring worked together to make
grass and herbs unusually luxuriant;
visitors have commented on the rare
beauty of the flowers this season,
but perhaps failed to notice that the
less ornamental plants, which sus-
tain animal life, also were develop,
ing in great profusion. Elk and
deer which came thru the winter
weak and emaciated have filled out
on the fine pasturage until their con-
dition is now said to be excellent.
"a general survey of wild animals
in the park recently has been COM
pleted, insofar as a census OF this
sort can be taken of rceatures which
roam territory three times larger
than the state of Rhode Island and
man yparts of which rarely know
human Footsteps. However, conn
paratively accurate estimates can be
made on the basis of observations
by rangers experienced in such work.
$4,000 Elk Left
1T is possible that there remain
in Yellowstone park and the Teton
game preserve Immediately south
about $4,000 elk, including this sea-
sons calves. Losses during the win
ter included about 5000 killed and
others starved outside the park in
Montana, and fully 1000 were lost
in Wyoming and Idaho. Moose in
the park number perhaps 500; mule
deer commonly called blacktail,
1900; Whitehall deer, 1000, and
pronghorn antelope, 800.
wild bison have increased to
more than 10 animals; they are
rarely seen except by rangers, as
they keep to the most unfrequented
regions. Mountain sheep are an
other species seldom observed; there
are about 200 in the park, their sure
footed characteristics enabling them
to inhabit cliffs and peaks where
men cannot easily go.
Think Bears Exaggerated
Bears are seen frequently by
tourists, especially near the large
hotels, where they go to find scraps
of food and to lick clean the, syrup
and preserve tins. For that reason
If is enormously thought that there
are hundreds of bears in the park,
many times as many bears as there
really are. The number of grizzlies
probably is not great than 20, while
black bears total around 100 indi-
viduals, strong argument for ade-
ouate protection to keep them from
being exterminated if they wander
outside the protection OF the park.
