What Is Left of Our Vast Elk Herds

THE estimated number of elk re-
u naming in two large groups in the
United States at the present time is
only about $1,000, according to the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture. To insure
the permanence of these splendid
game animals, which are among the
largest and finest of all deer, the CO.
operation and coordination of federal,
state and all other interested agencies
Is needed.
The elk Of the Yellowstone park
region constitute the only really large
herds Of the big game remaining in
the United States, and although these
number about $1,000, they are a mere
remnant of the great herds which
formerly ranged from Maine to Cali
Ifornia. The northern group, which
ranges within the Yellowstone Ma
'tional park in summer and migrates
northward, suffered greatly from the
adverse conditions of the winter of
1920.
The elk in the southern group are
scattered in summer at high elevations
in the southern part Of Yellowstone

Stranue Tribal Legend.

From the Navajo country, embrac-
ing the adjoining corners of Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico,
there has recently been struggled one
of the rarest patterns of Indian
blankets that has been permitted to
fall into the hands of white men.
The pattern, described and Illustrated
in Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is
known as the "Yebitsai dancers" and
involves tribal tradition about which
the Navajos are decidedly uncommuni-
cative. The word "smuggled" is used
advisedly, for the blanket was re-
moved with extreme secrecy, mas
much as knowledge by the Indians of
it's removal probably would have re-
suited in unpleasantness, to say the
least.
Collectors of Indian curios, who
have inspected the blanket assert that
they have never seen another of the
same pattern, although it has been
understood that one of similar type
was obtained some years ago and sent
to the Smithsonian institution.

Fashion Hard on Monkeys.

The dictates Of fashion have exerted
a strong demand for black and white
Abyssinian monkey skins to be used
for trimmings, particularly in Paris.
The supply of skins is very limited
and not more than $4,000 to 10000
can be obtained in a year, says Consul
Cross at Alden, Arabia, in a report to
the textile division of the Department

every one from the professors on
down picked on him. One afternoon
he stayed to make up some chemistry
work. Laboriously he worked, be-
tw cen interruptions were many,
for as each of the boys passed, he
bestowed a friendly, forcible slap on
the shoulder or made some remark.
Gus stood it for awhile. The climax

PICKED BY TYPE
cbservant Man Explains Aver
age StenographiC Force.
Generally Selected as the Result Of
the Boss Early Experience-Wife
Sometimes an Influence.

How do you account for the fact
that in some offices all the stenog-
rapherS are fat, in other offices all the
stenOgraphers are thin, and in still
ether offices are medium sized?" de-
manded the loQuacious commuter, the
New York Sun states.
"They aren't" replied the sleepy
commuter GROSSLY. "In Offices l know
there are thick, thin and medium ste
nographers, all together"
mo, you're wrong, old man." COM
mented the loquacious commuter cheer
fully. "Ive given this matter my Sc
rious attention for some time. The
offices where stenOgraphers are of
mixed sizes are the exception. In
nine offices out of ten you'll find the
stenographers all run true to form
whether the form is light, heavy or me-
dunn.
Its the same way with coloring, in
some of the offices all stenographers
are dark and in other offices all, or al
most all, of the stenographers have
medium coloring."
well, what's the answer?" sighed
the sleepy cOmmuter, resigning himself
to Instructions.
MY opinion u.s." explained the To-
Quacious commuter happily, that it's
all due to the proprietor's early expe-
rience.
when he began business and was
only able to employ one stenOgrapher,
he happened to draw plump one. She
proved amiable, reliable, and just what
he wanted, and without realizing it,
he stored away in the back of his
mind the experience that fat stenog-
raphers are desirable. When engag-
ing stenographers ever since he has
always leaned to this type. He may
have had many good stenographers
who were plump, but in big Office the
work goes on in such a way that this
would scarcely come to his attention.
Quite unconsciously he continues to
cling to the type he first favored"
but suppose the plump stenog-
rapher whom he first employed proved
a total loss?" questioned the sleepy
cOmmuter.
''That's just where it ST" said the
loquacious commuter, happily. ''In.
the event you speak of he would nat
urally store away in his inner con-
seriousness a distrust of plump stenog-
raphers and in his selection would go
to the other eXtreme-he would want
the thinnest stenographer Obtainable."
The sleepy commuter smiled irritat-
ingly.
That's queer theory" he remarked,
'but as matter of fact, it isn't the
boss who selects the stenographers, it's
the office manager"
The loquacious commuter looked de-
cidedly crestfallen and the sleepy COM
muter would have scored an unmiXed
triumph if a committing friend had not
joined them as they disembarked.
"Say, have you been in Bill Jones
office recently?" asked the committing
friend "He's got the greatest line of
