"PRO" CHIEF ALSO Is
LONG-DISTANCE TALKER

Washington, May 27-They now
have added the name of Rev. A.
Haynes, prohibition commissioner, to
the worlds list of long-distance talk
ers
Haynes has interspersed a whirl-
wind program for drying up the
country with about 10000 miles of
travel and more than 100 speeches
since he took office less than a year
ago.
The "Ohio oracle" as his Middle
Western neighbors call him, speaks
usually without manuscript, and
whizzes along. after a swift start, at
the rate of $50 words a minute. He
is noted for jamming big ideas into
long sentences. A two-hour speech
is just one of the passing incidents
of the day for the prohibition chief.
He boasts 1t matters not whether the
audience is with him or against him
in his views once he gets a full head
of steam and rips loose for a torrent
of words.

AUTOS VALUED AT HUGE
SUMS STOLEN IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, May 27.-Two thousand
automobiles, whose aggregate value
reached $4,000, 900, were stolen in
Georgia during 1921, according to re-
ports compiled by the Automobile
Underwriters Detective Bureau.
Between 65 and 70 per cent of the
cars were recovered, r. c. Patter-
son, secretary of the bureau, states,
but repairs on each of the recovered
machines averaged $3.50. This, to-
gether with the value of the 10 to Is
per cent unrecovered, represents a
loss of approximately 100000.
Legislation requiring recording Of
the title of each car sold, as in the
case of real estate, and requiring
each driver to carry registration
card for the car he is driving with
his photograph, and the numbers Of
the car and motor thereon, would ma
terially reduce automobile thefts, he
believes.

that the council, like the upper

APPROVES S-HOUR
DAY FOR CLERKS

Washington, May 27.-President
Harding today took action affecting
more than $4,000 postal clerks and
carriers when he approved a recon-
mendation of the Postoffice Depart
ment for the establishment of stric
eight-hour basis for postal employees.
The Presidents approval followed
a conference with Acting Postmaster
General Bartlett, who had explained
that thousands of employees by rea-
son of the exhaustion of appropria-
tions for auxiliary clerks were OBJ
liged to work from one-half to two
hours overtime each day. The Presi-
dent was of the opinion, it was under
stood, that additional clerks in suf-
ficient numbers should be put to
work where overtime now is required.
The President was said to have
stated that he would ask Congress
for an additional or deficiency ap-
preparation.
The President expressed apprecia-
tion for the fine spirit shown by the
clerks who have been working over
time, the acting postmaster general
said, but declared that men should
not be compelled to work overtime,
when so many subclerks and carriers
needed work.

WONDER SPOT
Man Who First Saw Park
Region Was Called
a Liar.

Ashton, Ida, May 20.-Back in
the fifties, when there was not even
a trail between here and Salt Lake
City, a man arrived at a spot not
far from this place, slipped off his
horse and looked around. He saw
boiling hot water shooting up out of
the earth When he got back to the
other side of the Reton Range and
told the folks about it he established,
for his lifetime at any rate, a repu-
tation of being 'the biggest liar west
of st. joe"
The man was Jim Bridger, and he
had discovered Yellowstone Park.
Few believed his tales of sky
mounting smokes and egg-boilipg
geysers. Loco" was the term ap-
Piled to Jim. That was long ago.
Yellowstone will in June celebrate
its semi-centennial as a national
park, for on May 1, 1872, Congress
passed the bill creating IL. The OPEN

651 people made" the park. Of
ficials hope to see the 100000 mark
reached this season.
In 1869 Bridger's stories had re-
suited in c. w. Cook and David Fol-
som making the trip. They saw all
that Bridger had seen and more.
They were followed by the Washburn
expedition. These army men got the
idea of a national park. In this par
ty were Ben. II. d. Washburn, Lieut..
G. c. Doane and several civilians.

tional Park is not shell pink" says
a monograph of the American Fores-
try Association, "the trees are not
blue, the waters of the great lake in
no wise resemble red ink and the
geysers do not spout streams of mol
ten metal, as some have been led
to believe. 1t is possible to traverse
the woodland trails and pass many
trees without seeing a grizzly bear
The buffaloes and antelopes do not
crowd the tourists and stages from
the highways. 1t is quite possible to
spend a week in the park without be-
ing molested by "denizens", as some
nature lovers delight in calling the
hapless bears and other animals Of
the park.

Natural Phenomena.

Buffalo, antelope and bear
abound in this largest of national
parks, and they may be seen without
difficulty, but that they are so num-
erous as to interrupt one in the pur-
suit of pleasures, is purely figment
of the imagination.
There are more natural phenom-
ena to be seen in Yellowstone Ma
tfonal Park than in any other equal
area in the United States. Add to
This the fact that there is a great
lake fifteen miles wide at its widest
point and twenty miles long, the
placid surface of which is seventy
eight hundred feet above the sea lev

From Yellowstone the road fol-

Gibbon River north, while the other
follows up the Valley of the Fire

particularly beautiful, as it slings for
miles to the very edge of the river
until it reaches what is known as the
Lower Geyser Basin. In this basin
are the famous Mammoth Paint Pots, .
