THE LONE WOLF IS
 STILL AT LIBERTY
Bristol HuntSmen Fail to Cap-
 lure Roaming Animal
SEARCH TO BE CONTINUED
still Animal May Not Be Wolf, But May Be Wild Cat or Pcrchancc a Lynx, Who KnoWs:-Great Chiefs Visit Red Mems Lodge.

The lynx, wolf. or what !s it." which has been seen by number Of residents, both in the Chippins Hill and Burlington sections. on sev- cral occasions recently and which was the object of concentrated hunt yesterday by a number of To- cal sportsmen. was still unca blurred this morning although it was run in yesterday by dogs. Indications are that it will be captured today, however, although some members of the party believed that the ami nal would be dead when dug out.
 Plans for the capture of the ani- mal which by some has been de- scribed as large as a dog, were made several days ago by George H. Quin- ion, Harlan E. Norton and Coun- cilman Homer IT,, Judd, who created a sensation late last winter when they captured a large brown bear alive In the Wildcat neighborhood. Starting out yestercay morning shortly after 10 o'clock, the dogs struck the trail of the animal and q short time after parked in near the entrance to a large burrow. The members of the party immediately started digging and last night when operations were suspended at 9 o'clock a trench approximately 50 feet long and in some places, l2 feet deep, had been dug. The animal apparently was keeping busy in the meantime and was digging just as industrIously as his human enemies. When the party left last evening. they caved in the bank and trapped the animal until operations could be renewed this morning.
 In yesterdays party, besides Messrs. Qunion, Norton and Judd. were Chief Ernest T. Belden, Carl Mason. Robert Manross, Thomas r. O"Brien. Joseph Dunbar, F. II. FL ton, Edgar Norton, swat" McCabe and Emil Thornbloom. Motion pie lures of the operations were taken by Dunbar and Manross.

CHILDREN'S HOUR
 ADOPTED BY TOWN Is Inspired by LongfelloV's
 Famous Poem -

Hanford. Cal. July s.-Pl-The spirit of Henry Wadsworth Long, fellow has inspired the innovation of The Childrcn's Hour for those Of school age ill Hanford.
 ChildrGn's meetings held by Mrs. Cleo Lee Aydelotte to develop umong children their normal in stincts for self-eypression' have ex- banded into community activity. The. children are the hostesses of their hour each week. Parents and other children are invited guests.
 Municipal authorities have placed the city auditorium at the disposal of the children on Sunday after moons. Through a fivecent contri button from each hostess-aided by refreshments are provided for all guests. They present regular programs, some including preten- tious juvenile plays.
 ''The movement has awakened a true democratic spirit and a larger interest in social welfare" says Mrs. Aydelotte. "A new interest in recre- ation other than the movies has been aroused. Mothers note that the children are practicing the golden rule not just reciting it. The young sters develop self-relance. self-ex- precision and an invaluable resource fuiness.'

MUSS0L|NI FAILS
 IN ONE ATTEMPT
Is Unable to Dictate Styles
 for Women !

Chicago, July s.-(REWhen Mus solini attempted to set styles for the women of Italy he undertook task which was too great for dicta- tors and monarchs of ancient days, Mrs Minna Schmidt, Chicago cos- tuner. asserts.
 For 50 years Mrs. Schmidt has studied the history of feminine at-' tire.
 Cromwell. she finds, tried to shroud his women followers in aus tere garb, but at his demise they went to extremes in dress which far surpassed those Cromwell sought to abolish. Several French kings, too, banned frils and furbelows.
 All to no avail. Women will wear what they please" she says. "Neith- CT king nor modiste can change them unless they want to be chang ed.''
 A hundred dolls dressed by Mrs. Schmidt represent famous women of the ages. The gown of each, she says, reveals an individuality which W dS d ldClOi III tie peIoOildlltS anu achievement of its wearer.
 Cleopatra made her attire add to her voluptuousness. and with her physical charms she disarmed war riors and statesmen.
 Catherine of Russia and Eliza beth of England owed much of their prestige as monarchs to their digni- ty of dress, Mrs. Schmidt believes, and Louisa May Alcott and Eliza beth Barrett Browning in the field of literatute were distinctive for their attire as we'll as for their writing.
 The cave woman, with a raw fur pelt wrapped about her, is the earliest exponent of costuming in the Schmidt collection-and the latest is "Trudy" Ederle. E.. :. "Trudy finally demonstrated that woman's quality of endurance is equal to mans" says Mrs. Schmidt. Her attire. the bathing suit, is symbolic of the modern girl, dressed in scant clothing which gives her body a chance to grow and to be- come healthier"

| The Citizens Advisory Council was
criticized as a failure and non-repre.
sentative of "even the Federation OF

tion that created it," in an address by
Alton B. Carly, president OF the Co
l1mbia Heights Citizens Association
AT a meeting of the Lanier Helgnts
| Citizens Association in the Cooke
school. Seventeenth street. near Co.
| lumbia road, last night.

tor" continued Mr.. Carly in his at.
tack. At the same time he advocated
the formation of a central BODY com
posed of representatives from the Co.
iumbia Heights. Lanier Heights, Mount
Pleasant and Piney Branch citizens
associations to get together to work
out problems of mutual interest 10
the associations named. Such a CEN
trail organization, Mr.. Carly SAID,
should be composed of delegates duly
appointed by the citizens associations
but the latter should keep their lden-
tity. he added.
Mr. Carly also criticized the general
me. .hods to be gone through IN the
District in order for the citizens to get
what they want, emphasizing the lack
of the vote here, stating: Ihe cltlzens
here should have the same llSHl lildl
every American citizen has-eXcept
in the District of Columbia" adding
that he as a citizen should be able to
go before a representative OF the cltl-
zens where he lives and tell him that
a certain thing is wanted"
Describing the usual routine In
volved in getting through request
for a civic improvement, Mr.. Carly
charged that after the District Com
missioners have sent through re-
quest for a certain item, that it IS
sometimes pigeon-holed by some ill.,
spector.
An address on the question of get
ting residents of community to

Correspondence Of The Star.


ALBANY.-In spite of the efforts
that are being made all the time for
the suppression Of forest fires, N
w. Wheeler, lecturer of the United
States Forest Service, reports that
there were in this State last year 726
fires, practically all of which were the
result Of carelessness and therefore
could have been prevented. One illus
tration that he gave in a recent talk
before a conservation organization was
of fire which burned 5000 acres and
which resulted from some boys build
ing a fire to smoke skunk out of a
hole. In another case Camp Fire Girls
toasting marshmallows caused a fire
which burned 25 acres.
Mr.. Wheeler has toured the State
speaking before groups of Boy Scouts
and at camps and urging united efforts
to prevent the destruction of woodland
through careless use of matches.
