PARK POL|CEARE ONDUTY.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., July IA
by The Associated Press]-Unthink-

natural formation of Yellowstone
National Park by writing their names
and crude sentiments in geyser bowls
and on hot springs terraces are meet
ing with quick discipline this year.
Under an effective system of regis
tration, every tourist entering the
park now is being checked in on ar
rival and checked out on departure
and his method of travel noted. If in
his own automobile, the state number
of the machine Is recorded. With
such information available, converse
lions like the following sometimes
are heard over the park telephone
system:
Hello. hello. Is this the north en-
trancef All right, chief rangers office
speaking. John 9. Blank, travelling
in automobile with-state license No.
12345, wrote his name yesterday in
Old Faithful basin. Hold him when

And when the automobile arrives

parks four entrances, Mr.. Blank-or
Mrs. Blank or Miss Blank if they
should offend, for women are not ex-
empt-is fetched back to headquar-
tiers and told politely but firmly that
such vandalism will not be tolerated.
If he-or she-is willing to remedy
the damage by effacing the writing,
the incident may be allowed to end
there. Otherwise. the law takes its
course before a United States Com
missioner resident in the park. Heavy
penalties are provided by statute for
injuring the formation in any way.
In all justice to American tourists,
however, Yellowstone officials say
they have a minimum of difficulty in
enforcing the regulations.
