PRESIDENT HAS
|. MANY ANIMALS
SENT AS GIFTS

! WASHINGTON (P,.-Many curious
gifts come to President Coolidge
medals, keys to citiesy edibles in album
dance, and animals enough to equip
q small circus.
The animals presented to the ex-
ecutive are housed at the Washing
! ton zoo, and occasionally he motors
Fthither TO see how they are getting
along
In one of Washington's most beau
ltiful spots amid natural environment
in which all manner of wild animals
are made to feel at home, are lions
Iand deer sent to Mr. Coolidge from
the dark places of South Africa, a
pair of bobcats, cinnamon bear,
and wallaby. Apart, as befits its
station in the furred and feathered
kingdom, struts a presidential peacock
which is always eager to display its
| gorgeous tail feathers
| One fine autumn day recently the
president was lured to the zoo by
tthe thought of his animals. The
surprised superintendent, who had not
anticipated the unannounced visit,
climbed into his automobile as the
executive entered the zoo and chased
after him.
How did you know I was coming?"
inquired MI. Coolidge.
Il didn't" was the reply, ""but here
I am to show you anything you
would like to look at"
''I came to see my lion and the
rest of my animals the president
told him, and the superintendent led
! the way around the enclosures, put
ting the flock through some of the
tricks which always amuse Mr.. Cool
Sidge.
White House attaches declare that
I if the president had brought back
east all the animals presented to him
in the Black Hills this summer, addi-
tional enclosures might have been
needed at the zoo to give them a
home.
Out in the Black Hills are still a
pair of pure-bred sheep which the
president could not bring back with
him, and a fine saddle horse for
which he has no use here since he
abandoned riding when he returned
to Washington.
But in the White House, room has
been found for two new brown chow
dogs and white collie given to
President and Mrs. Coolidge during
the summer, and these long since
have become fast friends of Rob Roy,
the veteran White House collie, and
Rebecca, the temperamental raccoon,
which originally was intended to
grace the Thanksgiving dinner table,
but instead won place in the presi-
dents heart.

Arizona has the eye of the travelling
public just now and it ought tc
materially benefit from that fact, in
the opinion of W. McIlroy of Los
Angeles, general agent of the pas

came to Douglas on Saturday, ac-
companied by Walter R. Thorn
travelling passenger agent of his com.
pany. for business visit with A. R.
Baird, Jr., local agent Of the Can
adian Pacific lines.
"Your state has gained a very
favorable position recently because of
generally prosperous conditions which
have been found to exist here" said
McIlroy, land with the friendly inter-
est that people of the continent hold
toward your climate, I risk no danger
in forecasting continued and favor
able growth in both developed
wealth and population. In all such
development, Douglas ought to have
a very large share for it is a city
that impresses the visitor by it's broad
clean streets and its generally ag7
gressive business characteristics"

SAYS ELECTRIC AUTO
WILL RUN 600 MILES

PARIS (F1.-An electric automobile
that will run 900 miles on a charge
that can be put into it in an hour,
is announced as an accomplished fact
by Jean Cabrerets, a technical writer.
A new electric battery-a 'real revo-
luton in science'-he says, has proved
it's worth and the right to make it
has been acquired by French, English
and German firms, whose names are
kept secret.
A Spanish Jesuit priest, Father AL
media, is credited with the invention.
Cabrerets says the battery, COM
pared with present types has 10 times
the capacity, weight for weight and
five times the capacity, size for size,
Ii can be charged, he asserts, in one
tWenty-fifth the time Of ordinary
types.
Picturing current models of electric
cars, he says, the new battery would
propel one 600 miles as compared
with 100 miles, but with a saving OF
450 pounds, while if space were found
to carry a new battery of the same
weight as the old one, the range OF
action would be 1900 miles. Best of
| all the charge could be renewed COM
pletely during the lunch hour
The chemical action is said to be
similar to present practice, through
the decomposition of two electrodes,
