Belled Buzzard
in West Virginia
(By United Press)


Marlinton, w. Va. - The far-famed
"belled" buzzard, claimed by pioneer
residents to be more than Pocahontas,
Monroe and Mercer counties.
Superstitious residents fear a dis
aster is imminent, in which there will
be a great loss of life. They point to
past occasions when the buzzard made
It's appearance, which were followed
by calamities.
For three months prior to the Cabin
Creek strike, nine years ago. The buzz
zard circled the territory in radius OF
100 miles. Later it was reported to
have been seen on the Mexican border
when there was fighting between the
U. S. troops and Villas forces.
The bird returned to West Virginia
several years ego when there was loss
Of life by foods. For year it was in
Mingo county.
A Wolf Creek resident said he saw
the bird few days ago. He could
plainly hear the bell.
Local history has it that the buzz
zard was captured by pioneer residents
shortly after the war of 1872. The
story goes that two men captured the
bird, tied the bell to the buzzard's
neck and allowed it to escape.
No one has been able to approach
the buzzard, and residents are afraid
to shoot it.

replacing the paper currency by metal
coins, collectors have been eagerly
searching clean clippings Of a cur
rency which will soon be only SOU
venir of war days.
This demand for clean clippings has
boosted their price to twice and three
times their denominations according to
the date of the issue.
The clippings issued by the various
Chambers Of Commerce throughout
Franco are quite artistic, the design
on the bills often representing the To-
cality or bearing some legend of war
days.
There are over 1900 different kinds of
clippings in circulation at present. The
Chambers of Commerce were authoriz-
ed to make the issues during and
since the war to an amount equivalent
to deposit in specie at the Bank Of
France.
A large number Of clippings having
been either lost or so badly torn and
used as to be no longer serviceable and
the Chamber of Commerce have pro-
flied in that these clippings will new
err be presented for redemption.
A collector quotes new clippings at
$50 francs for 100 francs Of actual
money value, and higher for certain
rare and commemorative issues.

this morning reporting the marriage
of Cutler H. Robbins, son of George
B. Robbins, former vice-president of
Armour and Compa ny, and Mrs. Fran
ces Minitta McLane, in New York CITY

Robbins, the former Follies star and
Chicago woman, who drove the auto
mobile that overturned resulting in
the death of Jacob Kuel near here sew

charge of manslaughter in connec-
ton with the death but finally released
after preliminary hearing. While

vorced for two years.
The marriage of Cutler H. Robbins
took place in the chapel of the Gotham
Municipal building and was performed.

Englishman Praises
Mountain Climbers

London Mountaineering proper
is not necessarily rashness, but is en-
tirely question of prudence and of
courage, of strength and steadiness,
and of feeling for nature and her
most hidden beauties, which are often
awe-inspiring, but for that reason the
more sublime, and to a contemplative
spirit the more suggestive"
Sir Francis Younghusband, speaking
before the Royal Geographical society
on the Mount Everest expedition, used
the foregoing words to express the
sentiment which has animated all
those connected with the expedition
and then said they were written 80
years ago by certain father Ratti,
who has now become Pope Plus XI.
After describing what the expedi-
ton had accomplished Sir Francis
said: "The experience gained this
year shows that skilled mountaineers
are able to take those unskilled in high
mountain craft to the highest alti-
tudes. Godfrey Bruce had never
climbed a snow and ice mountain be-
fore. Yet under Finch's skilled Lead
ership he was able to attain height
of 27,3OO feet. And the Sherpa por-
ters, though they were practically I'M
trained to snow and ice work, were
able, under General Bruce's stimulat-
ing influence, to carry loads up to
$4,000 feet, some Of them making the
journey four times and so earning the
unstinted praise of the best noun
taineers.
"By careful organization and COM
bination of effort, using experience to
guide inexperience, and by the display
Of indomitable pluck on the part of the
highest climbers, the expedition has at
bound brought the record up from
24,6OO feet to 2730O feet and thus left
only LOO feet to be climbed before
the GROWING summit is reached.
"The standard of human achieve
ment has thereby been sensibly raised.
And many another traveller, and many
another struggler upward in every
walk of life and in every country will
be braced and heartened in remem-
boring what Finch and Mallory, Som
ervell, Norton and Bruce have this
year accomplished on Mount Everest
And this, to my mind, is incomparably
the most valuable result Of the expedi-
ton, and a result which makes their
efforts in the highest degree worth
while"

It is run by them, maintained for

Frenchman Views

By JOHN O'BRIEN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris : Roman ROLAND, who be-
fore the war was considered one of
the foremost French writer's, but who
betook himself to Switzerland and
launched the pacifst novel "Above the
Tumult," while his compatriots were
hurting back the Germans, came out
in the socialist paper, L'Humanite,
with blast against Capitalist brig
andage in the United States"
An editorial note of L'Humanite ex-
plains that M. ROLAND has received
from his friends in America a series
of documents relating the "unname-
able campaign of violence on the part
of the capitalists against the vanguard
of the working class movement in
California"
The documents consist of charges
made by I. W. w. leaders that mem
bers Of that organization have been
locked up in California jails in condi-
tions rivalling the Black Hole Of CAL
cutta.
"This," says M. ROLAND in letter
to the editor of L'Humanite, "is mere
ly one episode in the universal reac-
ton and I fear stupid public opinion
won't be stirred in the slightest de-
gree. But some friends of mine have
told me that perhaps if these docu-
ments were published in France, under

ruling powers in America might be I'M

erty, is today, just as ours is, in the

WOMEN CROSS
DEATH VALLEY
Charlotte Hannahs Jordan,
Former Kenoshan, Makes
Unusual Trip.
Is WELL KNOWN HERE

The unusual story of two women
who crossed Death Valley, will be re-
ceived with interest by Kenoshans, for
one of the women, Mrs. Edward Jordan
now Of Cleveland, Ohio, was former
resident of this city and is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hannahs, Sr
Her companion, Mrs. Roger Perkins,
also Of Cleveland, is the daughter of
Charles Brush, the famous scientist
and inventor of the arc lamp. The
story Of their trip has been written
by Mrs. Perkins and appears in the
September issue of McCall's Magazine.
Although hundreds of prospectors
have sung to a terrible death in the
quicksand or have died Of thirst in the
alkali waste called Death Valley, the
two women were undaunted in their
desire to cross the desert. Death VAL
ley is in California and it is in the
heart of the great Mojave, the lowest
and the hottest of all western deserts,
deep, white and cleaning pit which
is two hundred eighty feet below sea
sand is so glary that from about ten
in the morning until evening one lives
in blind torpor. Yet these intrepid
women continued on their adventure
and completed successfully the entire
journey. The valley lies near the
boundary of Nevada and it is surround
ed by high mountain walls and we'll
nigh inaccessible. The Valley is spoken
of with a sort of awe by the natives
about it and yet they have a reverence
for its terrible and burning beauty
Start from Beatty.
The outfit which consisted of white
mule, thin red horse and light open
wagon, accompanied by tall man who
had the clear keen eyes of the desert
guide, set out from Beatty, small
mining town in Nevada. The party
camped at Daylight Springs that night
and started out early the next morn
ing. After a walk of ten miles through
a wide canyon, the women noticed that
the canyon was getting wider and soon
they reached the end which was point
of jagged red rock and rounding it they
stopped short, amazed by the sight
before their eyes. Three thousand feet
below an immense ablong white floor
glistened between the rocky walls and
it seemed never-ending shimmering
plain. The bright beauty of the place
belied the treachrous death spot that
it was and the party stated that it was
impossible to believe that men had died
down in that stark beautiful country.

tation line which plans to meet every
demand of the people of the commu-

of the two cities and adequate buses
will be offered to take care of the
traffic at all times. We want the peo-
pie to come with us in the spirit of CO.
operation which builds up mutually our
lines, Kenosha and Lake Geneva"
Pleasant TwO-Hour Trip.
The first trip of the big buses from
Kenosha to Lake Geneva was made
without incident. The buses were
greeted in all of the communities along
the way with lot of enthusiasm. The
driving time between Kenosha and Lake
Geneva has been set at 1 hour and so
minutes and the route selected is one
among the best improved roads of the
two counties. This trip was west on
the Geneva road to Salem, south to the
Geneva road, west through Trevor and
Wilmot, to Fox River and back to the
Geneva road and through New Munster
to Lake Geneva, It's "scenic route"
along the beautiful Fox river and the
ride is certain to prove a big attraction
to tourists. As soon as the Geneva
road is opened to the Fox river, the
running time for the buses will be
cut to III hours.
New Route to Beloit and GAINESVILLE.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of the new service is new
route for Kenosha people to Beloit and
GAINESVILLE. The buses will connect at
Lake Geneva with bus line running
to GAINESVILLE and Beloit and this offers
a way for easy and pleasant trips be-
tween these cities and Kenosha. 1t is
expected that in some near future
smaller buses will be put in operation
to connect with Twin Lakes, Bassett
Station, Nippersink and Genoa juno
ton.
The formal opening of the traffic is
set for Saturday morning and the first
bus will leave Lake Geneva for Keno
sha at $3.50 o'clock. This bus will con-
meet with the through trains on the
main North Shore line. The first bus
from Kenosha to Lake Geneva will
leave Market square about $3.50 o'clock.
Eight trips each day will be made daily
by the buses.
