Pittsburgh lays claim to the only
girl coal miner in America-probably
in the world.
Miss Ricka OFT is her name. She Is
81 years old and attractive. But she
is coal miner and proud of it. In ad-
dition she is a coal operator, truck
driver. farmer and general Jack of all
trades" Back in the hills Of Mt.
Oliver, suburb, she was discovered
a few days ago. merrily wheeling her
"black diamonds from the little pit
in the hillside. In addition to mining
her own coal on her own farm. she
drives it. to her customers. And she
is also her own business manager.
Miss OFT does not envy the girls
who work in offices and shop and who
wear silks and satins. She has work
ed in store, but never again!" she
says. She has no cares or worries
except one. She Is fighting the Mt.
Oliver borough council to have the
road leading to her mine improved.
Just now it is a mudhole. That, she

that road fixed and is going to have 1t

of the alleged spread OF Bolshevism
throughout Mexico. He frequently
visits Mexico and his identity was

He described the Vaccinations of

MONKEY KING OF
EAST, RULES WITH
IRON DISCIPLINE
North China Herald

North China Herald
TUNKI, An.-The day was drawing
to close when he dropped into our
midst. Nothing in his facial express
sion or his amber complexion would
do 80, but the gossamer texture OF his
robe might have suggested a fairy. We
soon discovered that he was third
degree disciple Of Buddha and that he
hailed from the famous Yellow noun
tains (Huang Sham.
According to his story these noun
tajns are the home of tigers, wild cats,
wild horses, goats, boars and an
animal resembling a panther, with
bristly hair and impervious skin-and
monkeys. The monkey he divided into
two classes, one the ordinary brown
monkey with a tail, the other white
breasted, and white faced with gray
back, and but little smaller than a
man. He intimated that this type
manifested degree OF intelligence
when spoken to, very much resembled
man, and was tailless.
To this second class belongs what
he called "the Great White Monkey
King" ruler of all the beasts of the
mountains, and described as being
more than 20 feet tall, with arms 10
feet long, four tusks each at least a
foot long, face and eyes proportion
ately large, and a voice that made the
earth tremble whenever it spoke.
He said he had seen this great
monkey king twice-once at distance
! of half Ii, and once when he dropped
down a high cliff and stood within is
feet of it. On this occasion the mon.
key king was attended by five smaller
monkeys. Our friend attempted to ad'
dress them, whereupon they all sat
down and gave respectful hearing
punctuating his remarks with assent
| ing grunts which indicated that the
message was being understood. When
our friend had finished his speech the
monkey king arose muttering some
thing to it's attendants and started
away. An apparent disobedience on
/ the part of one Of it's retinue solicited
a terrific blow with long right arm
that sent the delinquent sprawling.
| Our friend said this monkey king
was harmless unless attacked, and had
such control over the beasts of the
mountains that none of them ever mo
Tested men. He expressed the BELIEF
that an attempt to harm one of the
beasts under its control would bring
certain and speedy retribution. l in
quired whether there would be any
possibility of my seeing this great
white monkey king, and he replied
'+Oh, no! Only sages ever get to see
| him"
| He gave thrilling descriptions Of
the topography of the wonderful Vel
low mountains-99 sharp peaks, each
with fairy king guarding 1t; SO blunt
peaks; heavenly seas" natural gate
ways, and hundreds Of waterfalls.
