A thrilling story Of an unarmed ma
tive's fight with leopard comes from
village In upper Burma. The man
and his family were asleep when q
disturbance among the chickens under
the house reused them.
The Burman found a large leopard
trying to get at his fowls. The leopard
stood his ground and the Burman, un-
armed, rushed at the animal. They
closed and fell, fighting desperately.
The leopard, which was underneath,
was inflicting dreadful wounds on his
adversary with his hind claw when
the Burman's father, very old man,
came to his sons assistance with q
knife.
Selling the leopard's head he sawed
the knife through its throat and killed

{ The injured Burman recovered after
having been placed for some days in q
bath of iodine solution.-Cincinnati

Scientific Planning
for Healthy Gro.Uth

A committee Of twenty-One meeting
at the City club In Chicago to draw up
specifications for metropolitan plan
ming commission forecasts a Chicago of
100000 population extending. rough
ly, from near the Indiana state line to
a point near the Wisconsin line. We
believe that is no wild dream. 1t is
a possibility, if not probability.
But whether or not Chicago proper
ever extends it's present boundaries.
there can be no doubt that definite,
scientific planning is essential to in
sure healthy and continuous growth.
The Chicago Plan commission has
worked with admirable good sense and
efficiency. But problems Of modern
city life which have arisen since Its
inception have greatly complicated it's
task. The automobile traffic and the
tendency to concentrate both busi-
nesses and residences In high buildings
convenient to a central district In
pose a new duty upon city planners.
We are inclined to be archaic in our
ideas. Athens and Rome and Con.
stantinople were planned and built
upon one level. American cities, con-
structed many centuries later. have
hardly advanced from that.
In Chicago, with the limited excep-
ton of elevated railroads, the Michi-
gan avenue twO-level street, and tun-
nels beneath the river, we are still on
the one-level basis of ancient Athens.
New York has gone step further with
the subway, and eventually we will
have that. But even that will not be
enough.
There can be no adequate planning
for a modern great city which does
not provide for more than one level
for traffic. Chicago knows 1t, but that
is not enough. It must act upon the
knowledge. New York knows it, and
is acting. Steps are being taken there
to provide a third level of transporta-
ton, for pedestrians, above the ground.
The entire city has been zoned. with
groups Of architects in charge OF the
various districts, to work out this plan.
The colossal plan Of adding some 4.OOO
acres to the lower end Of Manhattan
island includes the construction OF
three street levels'-ona for heavy We
hicular traffic, second for passenger
automobiles, and third for pedestri-
ans.
Chicago must come to 1t. The COM
mittee of twenty-One may properly
plan for a city fifty miles long and Of
100000 population. but 1t should moi
neglect to plan first for a city OF our
present area, but three or more stories
high in so far as it's streets are con-
cerned.

For Ciuic IMPROVEMENT

It is the plan of the Federal Coun-
ell of Citizenship Training to COOP
crate with the many non-governmental
agencies, public and private, which are
engaged in seeking to improve citizen
ship throughout the country. 1t has
begun to work out the means Of
such cooperation.
It Is estimated that there are about
1000 national agencies which are ap'
plying themselves today to the prob
lens of social and civic Improvement.
There are other thousands Of local
agencies engaged in the same kind
Of work.
If these agencies can be brought
to work together along only few
lines, it is felt that the impetus given
to the movement for better citizenship
will be increased.
The American National council, of
which President Harding was the hon
orary president and Frank A. Van
derlip the acting president, will co
operate in every way with the govern
mental agencies in the crusade now
launched.

Pet Names Given Cities

Little old New York" is the pet
name of the commercial capital of the
United States. 1t is neither "little''
nor "old," but these words are used
in their affectionate sense. The pet
name of Boston in the United States
is "the Hub" This is little more
malicious, and is used more by out
siders than by Bostonians. 1t is gen
orally held that the latter regard thei,
intellectual city as "the hub Of the
universe" the city around which al
other cities revolve.

Wood Buffalo Herd

Buffalo Park, in Alberta, has been
set aside by the Canadian government
as wild life sanctuary. and will be
unique in that 1t will serve as the
habitat of the only herd of wild wood
buffalo in existence. Virtually the
same as the plains buffaloes in habits
and customs, the wood buffaloes mate
in September, migrate back and forth
by the same trails. and take life easily
at all times
1t is amazing how fast these clumsy
looking animals can travel. Even
when they are walking man must
run to overtake them and when they
are in a hurry it requires a fleet-footed
horse to keep up with them.

Obituary.
JOHN H. BRESNAHAN.

JOIlIN H. DnCD1NAIlA1N.
John H. Bresnahan, one of Ellis
worth's best-known citizens, died
early last Friday morning at his
home on Willow street, after an ill
ness of Bright's disease extending
over year.
Mr.. Bresnahan was born in Ellis
worth, August 20, 1868, the young
est of the family of the late James
and Ellen Bresnahan. He was an apt
scholar in the public schools of the
city, winning high honors, especially
for his beautiful penmanship, which
never deserted him. AS a young
man he entered the store of the late
Erastus Redman, and gave promise
of becoming a successful business
man. Public life called him, how
ever, and he entered the Ellsworth
custom house as clerk and deputy col
lector under the late John B. Red
man.
He took an active and prominent
part in municipal politics, and for
years served on the republican city
committee. He held the office of city
marshal several terms, and for long
term of years served efficiently as tax
known.
Mr. Bresnahan was man of in
tense likes and dislikes, but loyal al
ways to his friends, his town and his
church. He was generous con-
tributor to affairs of public interest,
and ever ready with assistance for
needy townsmen. He was member
of Philip H. Sheridan council,
knights of Columbus.
He leaves a widow, who was Miss
Mary A. Kimball of Ellsworth, and
one brother, Patrick Bresnahan of
Ellsworth
The funeral was held at St.
Joseph's Catholic church Monday
morning, Rev. J. A. German officiat-
ing. Solos were rendered by Mrs. e.
j. Walsh and Mrs. Ralph Wescott.
The knights of Columbus attended in
body. The bearers were Frank M.
Gaynor, Edmond ]. Walsh, John w.
Coughlin and 7. F. Mahoney
