Are Cougars Friendly?
n the Adventure Magazine.

From the Adventure Magazine.
The cougar is, next to the wolverine,
the oldest jigger among the wild think
ers, barring human savages, OF course.
A quirk is characteristic Of the
cougars DUMAS, panthers. mountain
lions. all one). They walk alone and
alarm countless humans out Of sheer
companionableness, with no least in
tention to harm. There are records
of hungry cougars attacking and
badly wounding children and men. In
northern California a local doctor tells
me he was nearby when q boy was
badly clawed and a woman who went
to his rescue was injured to the death.
But these hunger probably attacks
are balanced against many times
more demonstrations of friendliness,
like the cats that walk with late pas
sers-by in silent. dark hours Of metro
politan nights. We have been so
eager to butcher wild life, especially
the mobiles of the forest, that we have
only the faintest understanding OF the
mental processes of the creatures. The
humor of bears, the pride of the deer,
the fancies Of the. cats. the exuber-
ance and conscience Of wolves--what
do we really know about them?

later addressed the gathering.
The celebration was brought to
close last night with the initiation of
SO male candidates. The ceremony
was conducted by L. A. Muller, i'm
perial representative of the Klan in

D. C. POLICE TO GET
w. T. DEEGAN AT LAST
Man Shot in Baltimore Will Be
Turned Over on Leav-
ing Hospital.

Local police learned yesterday that
William T. Deegan, who was shot
five times. Thursday in Baltimore,
Md, will be turned over to the
District authorities upon his release
from hospital.
Deegan Is wanted here on a
warrant charging assault sworn out
last January following a fight in the
third precinct. He was wanted a
fhort time, ago for questioning by
Capt. Burlingame of the eleventh
Precinct, then in charge Of the flying
Dry squadron, it was stated by police.
but the warrant, so far as is known,
is the only claim District authorities
have on him.
Benny Sudano, who was with
Deegan at the time Of the shooting
and who said he was kidnapped, has
admitted to police in Baltimore that
his story was false, it was announced.
He is said to have admitted jumping
into the machine of Deegan's assail-
ants when they drove off, but denies

husking bees, sleighing parties, the
county fair and the annual Fourth
of July celebrations the interest OF
the young people, it is not recorded
that Calvin Coolidge as a boy or young
man entered into these sports with
any enthusiasm, If at all. Indeed one
of his old friends up here says that
on one occasion the Presidents grand
mother gave him a dollar for not
joining in the dance and that as he
did not care for dancing in any case,
the dollar was money easily earned.
But he was not unfamiliar with. the
simple recreations Of his contempt
raries and the music Of tonight's dance
undoubtedly revived long forgotten
and youthful memories.
President Coolidge assumed the role
of the country squire yesterday and
made a thorough inspection of his
farm and other properties in this Sec
ton. Accompanied by Lin Cady, he
walked about the fields Of the farm
and took an inventory of the crops
in the making and Of the implements
and the stock The day was humid
and the President went collarless and
wearing an old SLOUGH hat.
Later he and Mrs. Coolidge took a
drive through the mountains in an
effort to cool off and enjoy the scenery.
Their ride took them as far as White
River Junction. 2b miles distant. and
through the beautiful village Of Wood
stock.
Tomorrow afternoon the President
and Mrs. Coolidge will attend services
at the Union Church across the road
from his house. The minister on this
occasion will be Rev. Albert E. Phillips
of Paterson, N. j., an Episcopalian.
The Presidential party will leave
here Monday morning on the Presi-
dents special train for the Adiron,
dacks. where he will return to his
vacation home.

Planalp explained that his grand
father came to this country from
Switzerland under the name of Aub-
planalp, but this was so unwieldy that
he severed the first three letters, the
result producing a name In a mil
