Mr.. Mills says " coyote is the clown of
the prairie "He is wise, cynical. and good
actor" observes the naturalist "He has
liking for action and adventure. He really is
happy fellow, something of philosopher
and full of wit. Sometimes he catches
chicken while the family is away and, carry
ing this to the back porch to feast, leaves the
feathers there. Two nights coyote raided

feathers near my camp. l was ordered out
of the country A common prank of the
coyote is to lure dog from a camp ranch
to point where the coyote is safe and then
to pounce on the dog and chase him back in
confusion"
The comedy instinct Of the bear is better
known, but Mr. Mills tells several new stories
about those animals to illustrate their aptitude
for play. Once in Wild Basin, Colorado, the
naturalist saw two bear cubs playing in a
tree top
"They explored the entire tree, climbing,
playing everywhere on the branches. Then
they commenced racing and playing through
tho tree top. At times their actions were cat

they were very monkey-like, but at all times
lively, interesting and bear-lke. Occasionally
they climbed and started wrestling far out
limb. Sometimes they fell off, but caught
limb below with their claws, and, without a
pause, swung up again else dropped to

trunk within few feet Of the bottom, and as
they raced up again the lower one snapped at
the hind paws Of the upper and finally pulled
him from the tree trunk. The upper one thus
exchanged places with the lower one, and the
lively scramble up the trunk continued"
Mr. Mills finally tried to capture the cubs.
He would shake them loose from the limbs of
the tree with great difficulty, but always they
would manage to scramble back before he
could catch them.

home in the rocks above tmber-line, Mr.. Mills
finds, seldom plays. 1t merely sits in the sun

Mr. Mills says the winter had been dry
and cold and otter food had been scarce, and
probably the merrymakers were hungry, but
little would one have guessed it from their

cries.
One masterpiece of combined radcalism in
art at the Grand Palais is constantly viewed
by eager crowds. An incompetent observer
is rather puzzled to know the reason, as there
is no bar in the great exposition building.
This masterpiece springs from of the we'll
known brushes Of the Quarter Latin, and to
many spectators, who have commented on its
brilliant red and green outlines, it appears to
be the "Dance of the Keyholes" The back
ground is slithery-if that appellaton may be
applied in independent art--and accompanying
the keyholes one sees the dim spiritual outlines
of bottle and something which represents
corkscrew. There is nothing particularly
shocking about this masterpiece.

get into deep water. No. 3,679 portrays Mod

wich Village. The "Nude Girl with Shawl"
which found such a chilly atmosphere recently
at the National Arts Club, in New York,
would hang in all modesty beside the models.
They are three "Nude Girls Without Shawls,"
who impress artistically only those who hail
from the darkest jungles of the Quarter.

NEWS OF THE CONSTI-
TUTIONAL CONVENTION

written by J. S. Hubbard, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Missouri Press
Association.)
jefferson City, Oct. 20.-What is
considered by many members of the
convention as one of the most impor-
taut questions for its consideration is
that of dealing with the business or
common law trusts which. have been
Multiplying rapidly in the state in re-
cent years. The matter came up in
the debate over the provisions of the
report of the Committee on Corpora
tions, which has been under consid-
Grafton all the week.
One member of the committee stat
ed that since 1914 seventy-nine COM
panies had made application to the
banking department for permission to
dispose of the securities of such
trusts and that seventy-one of these
applications had been made since 1919.
Seven and one-half million dollars
worth of securities were represented
in these requests. Advertising clubs
and better business bureaus in the
state, it was pointed out, had reported
thirty-six other such concerns which
were trying to float their securities,
many Of which were declared to be
subject to the provisions of the "blue
sky laws. In all it was stated that
fully fifteen millions were represented
in the securities and that the capital
employed in the conduct of theese
companies or trusts would easily
amount to more than one hundred
millions.
1t is proposed by the committee to
bring all these companies under the
provisions of the corporation laws Of
the state so that they will pay fees
and taxes to the state. The exact
means of reaching the desired end is
yet to be determined, not all the mem
bers being satisfied with the section
agreed to by the committee, which is
a duplicate of the provision in the
Massachusetts law.
Provision is made in revising an
other section Of the present Constitu-
ton for double liability of stockhold-
eqs of state banks and trust compa-
nies. The way is also opened to
banks or trust companies now Great
ed to make the same provision by a
The committee believes that the state
banks and trust companies should be
regulated in the same manner in this
respect as are national banks. 1t is
considered a means of safeguarding
the interests of the depositors and as
such the committee believes it should
receive the support of the convention.
1t is contended that if the new banks
and trust companies were SO regulated
it would not be long before those now
existing would voluntarily come un-
der the same provisions as a good
business policy. If their business was
right, it was declared that they
should have no objection, and if it
was not on the square there was all
the more reason for its regulation by
constitutional provision.
Another new provision provided

WILLIAMS HAS PLAN
 ON WATER PAYMENTS Engineers Charge System For Mains May Become
 Part of Charter

+ City Engineer Joseph D. Williams
 has worked out a plan, which, if adopted. will completely revolutionize
 the system of payments by property owners for water service in sections of the city that have not as yet been given that service. The system is one by which not only those who peti- ton for water. and who have houses in the localities affected, but also those having vacant lots or proper ties under development, will be called
 upon to bear a part of the burden of remunerating the city for its in vestment in water mains.
 The plan in tentative form has been outlined to the mayor and is believed to have found favor with His Honor. Mayor Paonessa had pondered over the question for some time because of the many petitions for change from the present system of the water department. adopted in 1896, and felt to be antiquated because of present conditions.
 Under the present system. petition CTS for water service to their houses must guarantee the water department the payment of at least eight per cent of the cost of construction each year for a period of five years. This gives the city 40 per cent of the money invested and the remainder is made up in water rentals over a. period of years. Those having build ing lots. but no dwellings. along the route covered by the mains are not expected to share the expense. If houses are built within the five year term, they are allowed to hook in" but must bear a portion of the eight per cent payments during the re- maining period: if the dwellings are not erected until after the five year term, they are charged only on flat water rentals.
 Engineer Williams would have water mains laid in those streets pecially in the districts where there is sewer service but no water. and would charge property owners on either side of the street, 50 cents per foot. The same charge would be made for those having vacant lots as for those with dwellings, it being argued that the value of the property is increased sufficiently to warrant such action.
 In this way, it is explained, the city would receive s1 foot for the mains as soon as they are laid. With the average cost for such work at s250 a foot, the city could be assured 40 per cent return on it's investment at once, and also guarantee more equitable system for the payment of such costs, it is argued. In addition, it is felt that the adoption of such a system would afford added incentive for the development of outlying dis tricts.
 In order to legalize such sys- tenn. it would be necessary to amend the present charter. It is expected that this proposal will be one of the first to be submitted to the mayors permanent charter revision commit tee.
