African Party Now Hunting Animals For St. Louis And

(By FER RDINAND JAIN peciaI Dispatch to The Age-Herald)

BERLIN, July 15.-German animal hunters are securing the wllds ol Africa for untamed animals for the new zo-ological gardens being built by the Hagenbeck people in Chicago and St. Louis.
 The Hagenbecll people have ceased sending animals to German zoos, dc cording to John Iagenbeck. brother of the famous Karl of American cir GUS fame because the zoos in Ger many don't take in enough paper marks at the gates in one whole year 10 pay for one nice healthy lion, We are forced to sell abEoad, where we can get market prices. 1Iagenbeck declared here. Ger many cannot buy the cXpensIve ami luals which we have to sell It costs d lot of money to catch them and p3turally they are worth many bill lions of marks. For instance, q first class specimen of giraffe would cost the Berlin Zoo around trillion paper marks. And that Is more than the zoo talk es in in year." Hagen beck declared a lion is worth 250 pounds sterling, an elephant from 300 to 800 pounds, a hippopotamus 500 to 1.000 pounds, and a sufficiently long, hecked giraffe from 1000 pounds up. J;aGenbccl<s Active.
 Hagcnbeck dec-ared his uephews were in America experimenting the UQllQlNS or the TWO immense zoos Tn St. Louis and Chicago. which are modelled after the famous Hagen beck zoo at Stellingeu. near Ham burg.
 IiagcnbeeI lived in India and Cey- lon before thc war, from which his business suffered badly. Hagenbecll declared that America and England had taken mach of the business away from Germany during the postwar days, but that Germany today had regained her place-largely through lis efforts-as leading wild animal catching country of the world. The expedition now in Africa is headed by Christopher Schulz of Germany, who with two German colleagues, r assistants and about so negro, car riers, are working i'll South Africa. the TransVaal. North Rhodesia, the Zambese river area the Portuguese East Africa and the Belgian Congo, gathering the animals. which will be transferred on large animal trans port to the United States for final delivery to St. Louis and Chicago.

 The phrase Harding weather" grew out of the 1920 campaign, dur ing which not a drop of rain fell In Marion. O., on any of the days that Mir, Harding received visiting dele cations on his front porch" also, t never rained during any of his cam paign trips. The phrase gained fur ther basis during the recent trans continental trip, which was mark ed by fair weather except for the day in Tacoma, and even then there was only slight drlzzle, which did not interfere with the chief eXecutive's program.

 The United States Navy band. reg ularly stationed in Washington, but detailed to the Henderson during the Alaskan trip, endeaVored during the voyage from Tacoma to give it's daily concerts as much local color a possible and eminently succeeded. according to members of the presi- dential party. The concert the first night out began with Sousa's march, 'Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" in recognition of the Presidents mem bership in the shrine.
