YELLOWSTONE PARK, November
13.-Bears have no terrors for the
rangers Of Yellowstone National Park;
theirs is the familiarity that breeds
contempt. Miss Marguerite Lindsey,
a member Of the park staff, who was
born in the park and has lived there
all her life, except when she was
away at college. tells the following
story Of a recent experience:
''At Old Faithful l became very well
acquainted with a huge black bear.
The rangers Summer mess hall had
been closed for some time, the large
front room partly filled with Winter
wood and the windows boarded up.
The day before my arrival food had
been laid out in this room to be sent
to some road crew the following day.
But bruin smelled bacon and made
quick work Of the boards and glass,
and a mess of the food.
Then arrived and moved into the
cooks room for few days. That
night the bear remembered. At 11:30
he came, and every hour all night, as
sure as Old Faithful roared out its
eruption, he returned. It was half
clear, moonlight night with two inches
of snow on the ground and the
mercury at Zero-much too cold to
crawl out to take after bruin with a
broom every hour. He was much
more patient than I, merely giving a
little grunt when I launched a brick
or a piece of kindling wood after him,
and sauntering off into the forest, to
return, giving the garbage can a cuff
to announce himself, crunching just
below my window, standing UP
against that boarded window and
starting to pry it open. The following
day tied the dinner gong and some
tin cans to his favorite window and
he ceased his attempts to open 1t"

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Novem
Der 13.-The State Legislature, conven-

legislation providing for the establish
ment of a county police court or
courts and county police force. Leg
islation for the creation of a county
This information comes from leaders
who have been impressed by activities

Following the action of the county
tPomona Grange, at it's quarterly
meeting at Beltsville Thursday, in.
dorsing the idea of a police force and
referring the matter of a court or
courts to a committee for further
study, announcement has been made
that the county Community Council
at it's annual meeting here November
23, will give consideration to the prof
ects.
The council, embracing many civic,
community and kindred organizations,
already has indorsed the movement,
having approved, at a meeting several
by Judge George G. w. S. Musgrave
which recommended legislation along
the same general lines.
Those In favor of the proposed leg
islattOn believe establishment Of a
county police force and a court or
courts are needed in the interest of
law and order. They point to the fact
that Montgomery County has both a
police force and a police court, and
that the results there are recognized
as having well justified their estab
lishment. One of the chief arguments
for establishment Of court or courts
Is that it would permit of the disposal
OF many minor cases that now come
to the Circuit Court here, causing un.
necessary expense to the county.
To just what extent creation Of q
police force and court or courts
would decrease the number of justices
Of the peace and constables Is not
known, but 1t Is probable a number
would lose their positions. How many
would depend on the number OF
county policemen appointed, and
whether one or a number of courts
are established.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November 13.-
The United States Government should
indicate positively that it does not ap-
prove Mexico's present policy toward
the Catholic Church, according to
Senator Thomas j. Walsh of Mon
tana. He denounced the Gales gov
ernment in an address tonight at the
annual banquet of the National Cath
olic Alumni Federation.
He said the Gales policy Is with
out parallel, even in Soviet Russia,
and declared that a publication put
out from the Mexican consular Office
in New York alone warranted action
by the United States.
II should deplore any representa-
ton by this country in Mexico until
it changes it's policy toward Cath
olics," Senator Walsh said. IF these
offenses should pass unnoticed. then
the spirit that has characterized
American diplomacy has departed
from US forever"
More than 1000 Catholic laymen
and clergy, graduates from virtually
every college and university in the
country, attended the banquet.
