COMPANION KNEW "0LD BIRD"
Inquiry Brought Instant Response
Considerably Embarrassing to
Youthful New Teacher.

I was just out of college and had
gone for the first time to teach in a
high school. | had not yet lost my
college girl propensity for seeking tC
extract fun out of everything, whether
serious or comic. A formal meeting OF
the faculty Of the city was in progress
with the prominent school men-super
intendent, commissioners, and princi
pals-seated on the platforms Among
them was a seyere-looking Old peda-
gogue with long white, flowing beard
Next to me sat a sedate woman
whom | rashly had taken to be new
member of the faculty.
l turned to her with what I sup
posed to be an infectious burst of con
hdence and giggled; who's the old
bird with the whskers?"
The woman turned her face directly
toward me, looked me up and down,
with an expression that concealed the
blood within me, and said, curly

And not to be outdone, all the trees, big

Rocky Mountain.
Miss Rocky Mountain, with the pert
ness Of youth, seized the opportunity
to take a whack at a few who have
been stirring up opposition to local
national park service policy. Her
troubles, however. are practically
over, inasmuch as both the Estes Park
Chamber Of Commerce and the Dem
yer Civic and Commercial association
have Endorsed the policy in question.
Miss Rocky Mountain was modest as
well as pert, for in spite Of her youth
and the SILLY strife" she leads all the
national parks in attendance by a
wide margin. Here's her contribu-
,Ion:
I feel quite young and immature.
In fact, you might say insecure,
For am Rocky Mountain Park.
It's hard at times to tell my friends
From those who seek some selfish ends
They almost leave me in the dark.
But I am sure that you'll agree
That If my friends are good to me,
And put an end to silly strife,
And not find fault It won't be long
Before / grow quite big and strong,
And live very useful life
Hope of the Future.
And then Miss Yosemite wound u
the literary feast with this effusion:
And now, Mr. Secretary, we had
hoped by this time to welcome a big
grown-up sister to our midst, in the shape
Of Roosevelt National Park,
Perhaps by the time another year rolls
around, you can make her Acquaintance
.,es--~ha gInows-perhaps by that time,
new little sister will have arrived from
somewhere in New Mexico to join us In
our birthday greetings
At any rate may the year and all the
years to come bring only peace, happl-
ness and a continued opportunity to serve
the nation and its people.
The Roosevelt National park she
speaks of is Sequoia, enlarged and
with the change Of name legislation
is pending In congress to that end. In
new little sister from New Mexico"
she refers to the movement to estab-
fish a national park in the Bandeller
National monument region, which Is
rich in relies of a prehistoric race.
One thing is certain: a secretary
of the interior in sympathy with the
national park movement has an COP
portunity to serve the nation and Its
people"

Ing with a man on foot and horseback,
sleeping with him under canvas or
under the stars, getting wet and cold
and hungry with him, sitting around
the campfire and filling up on trout,
bacon, fapjacks and coffee with him
that's when you get acquainted with
him for keeps.
OF course nobody In the national
park service was foolish enough to
think for a minute that the secretary
was a tenderfOot They all knew too
much about him for that. They all
knew that although he was practic-
ing lawyer he was also a veteran of
the Spanlsh-American war and
rancher, stockman and miner. Just

intendents and park rangers-wanted

OLD SAYING PROVED UNTRUE
For Once, at Least, Physician Was
Willing to Take His Own

"They say" remarked George L.
Fallon, the noted aeronaut, on the
Aquitania, that doctors never take
their own medicine, and in my youth l
believed that lie.

champagne for me, half bottle twice

scription.

Secretary Fall
Is "Surprised'

the national parks in their untouched
witness are priceless heritage of
the American people, to be used and
not abused, to be conserved from
commercial exploitation and passed
on unframed to future generations.
Hence the surprise party, as token
of appreciation and of loyal co-opera-
ton
The Interior department people in
sisted upon making their affair quite
exclusive and staged it in the secre-
tary'S Office. They did, however. i'm
yite Mrs. Fail. So the secretary found
himself surrounded by a sort of family
party assembled in honor Of the Six
tieth anniversary Of his birth. In the
party were First Assistant Secretary
Fmney Director Mather Of the ma
tional park service, and heads of the
dozen or more bureaus of the depart
ment.
This official family was headed by
five young women Of the national park
service who personifed five Of the ma
tional parks inspected by the secre-
tary: Miss Isabelle Story, in green,
Yosemite; Miss Beatrice Ward, IN
blue, Crater Lake. Miss Leila Price,
in lavender, Mount Rainier; Miss
May Schnurr in yellow, Yellowstone
Miss Bertha Miltenberg, in red,

Yosemite.

Miss Yosemite, taking on airs be-
cause the secretary visited her first
on his trip, presented her blossoms
and said this nice little bit of verse:
We bring thee greeting on thy natal day
From all those glorious regions in the
West.
Our Nations Parks, where you, most
welcome guest,
Have watched the people Of a Nation
play.
Have seen the Joy which each succeeding
Has brought to visitors who. seeking
rest,
Have found as well that God is mani
Where nature undehled sun holds her
sway,
The mighty rock that stands as sentinel,
O'er-shadowlng the trees beneath It's
wall.
The rushing roar OF waters as they fall
With rainbow tinted spray, all. all impel
The thoughts Of man to turn to Deity.
This Is the message from Yosemite.
Crater Lake.
Miss Crater Lake, fittingly in blue,
had this to say In rhyme:
In far-off Oregon there lies
A lake Of wondrous hue.
Not even cloudless summer skies
Are such cerulean blue.
In vividly contrasting shades,
Its blood-red walls rise clear,
A gorgeous ring OF palisades
Buttressed and bold and sheer.
Although you travelled many a mile,
This stirring trip to take,
I'm sure you found 1t worth your while
To visit Crater Lake.
Mount Rainier.
Miss Mount Rainier was also strong
on description and verse, Here's her
piece:
Among the mountains Of the West
Those mighty granite masses,
Rainiers the one / love the best.
It's majesty surpasses.
a crown Of everlasting white
BY day In sunlight cleaning,
spectral crown when seen at night,
While all the world lies dreaming.
And through the snow, in contrast rare.
The trees grow tail and slender
It's meadows quite beyond compare,
Where flowers bloom in splendor.

Gloucester, Mass. Oct. 1s.-Elsie, pride of the Gloucester schooner fleet. is ready to beat into the teeth of an east wind tomorrow, bound for Halifax and the in ternational fshermen's race to defend the cup which Esperanto won last year. At her helm will be "Cap'n Marty" Welch, who piloted Esperanto to victory, and by his side as mate will be Tom Benham, skipper of Esperanto when she grounded, a wreck, last spring off Sable Island.
 The crew list of the Elsie was sent to Halifax tonight showing hal ia dozen Of Esperanto's handlers numbered in the pick of veteran sailormen.
 The doughty little Elsie today received her final touches from painters and rig gers. Her mastheads were shined with a new coat, an edge of her foretopsail was cut down to draw taut, and bit of tinkering done to put her in shape for the international contest Captain Welch and his crew stood by all day, gauglng the wind, which had veered by night into the east, with promise of forcing the Gloucester men to beat the entire dis tance to the racing gro Tnds.

CATAPULT FOR LAUNCHING
 AIRPLANES FROM WARsHIPs

Washington. Oct 16-The first com plete catapult for launching airplanes from the decks of battleships is now ready for installation st the Hampton Roads air station
 For some time light, single scatter chase planes have been successfully flown from platforms built on the tops of battleship turrets, a short run against the wind being sufficient to give them the necessary lift" but this system was not applicable to heavier planes and will found to with the turret operation.
 The newly developed catapult. how ever, gives the necessary impetus under any conditions and will not interfere with the functions of the ship. It is believed by naval experts that future battleships will be designed with catapults as an in tegral part of their equipment
 The device itself is said to be based upon the same principle used by Samuel Pierpont Langley in launching his steam driven experimental airplanes in 1896 and 1905
 It comprises a power driven carriage running on tracks and carrying the plane. The carriage is driven along the tracks at an increasing acceloration until the speed becomes sufficient to permit the plane to take the air. The carriage is brought to res by means of brakes and shock absorbers near the eud of it's run from where it is drawn back to the starting point and is ready to launch an- other plane. Besides the new launching catapults, naval designers are working on plans to equip all ships of the line with hangars, machine shops and all necessary aviaion equipment

Mexican Governor
 Fees on Horseback
During D e m o n tra ii o n Against State Authorities of Puebla by Irate Taxpayers.

Mexico City, Oct 16 (by the A. P)- Jose Maria Sanchez. governor of the state of Puebla, fled from Puebla last night on horseback accompanied by thirty of his followers, during a dem onstration against the state authori- ties, who were charged with being re- sponsible for the new tax law, which is alleged to provide for excessive rates.
 Although martia. law has not been formally proclaimed, federal troops un- der General Fortunate Maycotte are guarding the city in the absence of the civil authorities and the police force.
 The events leading up to the flight of Governor Sanchez were almost of riotous nature The climax was reach ed wehE crowd escorting General Maycotte from the railroad station to the main plaza of the city, following the return of the genera, here from Mexico City, was fired on 6y a score of city police stationed in the towers of the cathedral. Several persons are report ed to have been injured by bullets.
 General Maycotte withdrew immedi- ately after tho shooting and exported calmness on the part of the people. The crowd was somewhat pacified when a short time afterwards it was announced that the police had surrendered, assert ing that they fired on the demonstra- tors only when they thought the cathe- dral was to be stormed.
 Later General Maycotte attempted to get in touch with Governor Sanchez tc discuss the situation but it was dis covered that Sanchez had mounted his l horse and started for Mexico City.
