Feted at Fourth Capital

Blu United Press
PRAGUE, Czecho- Slovakia, June
"a. - Clarence Chamberlin and
Charles Levine we're feted by their
fourth European capital today.
They arrived here from Vienna by
air last night.
The transatlantic fliers pre-
viously had been entertained at Ber-
lin, Vienna and Budapest.
Informed of suggestions of Amer
lean aviation authorities that a
fight from the United States to
Buenos Aires would be of great
value to international relations,
Chamberlin told the United Press
he considered such a trip prac-
ticable.
The Columbia, in which he and
Levine crossed the Atlantic, could
fly from New York to Buenos Aires
with a single stop, and a new Bel
lanca plane, now under construc-
ton, could make the trip without a
stop, he said.

TIME fact that in semi-darkness
there is less danger of their being
caught by fishermen and other
enemies is not the only reason why fish
prefer shady sections of water. Science
has discovered that the suns ultra
violet rays, which do so much for the
health and vigor of human beings and
many other creatures, are positively
harmful to fish, and this is believed to
explain their preference for dark, shady
places
Experiments recently reported to the
U. S. Bureau Of Fisheries by the Yer
mont State Fish Hatchery seem to estab.
lish very definitely that sunlight is harm
full, rather than helpful, to fish. At the
Vermont hatchery there were almost
twice as many deaths among young fish

and it is believed that stable industry
will develop from this discovery alone.
The backbone Of the fish is being made
into numerous useful things, including
walking sticks and buttons.
Sharks are found in all seas, and most
of them are ,illers. There are, however,
harmless varieties that live on marine
growth and get along peaceably with
their neighbors of the deep. They lay
eggs that are sometimes square, some
time oblong, and covered with horny
coat having streamers that fasten the
eggs to rocks or undersea plants.
The discovery that the shark has

from his tail to his snout, that he is an
industrial and commercial asset instead
of dead loss, has brought on a big
boom in shark fishing.

TN order to rid the mountains Of Cali
fornia of the largest predatory ami
NAL known to the western United
States, Jay C. Bruce, official lion hunter
of that state and the only public oficer
of his sort in the nation, has tracked
lions for $4,000 miles during his eight
year term in Office, and has shot, out Of
trees aud off bluffs, 293 lions.
California mountain lions-also known
IS pumas, panthers and cougars-live
largely on deer and kill, not for food but
for the lust Of blood. They also kill
cows and horses for the love Of murder.
Mountain sheep frequently fall before
their attack.
So serious did the situation become
that sportsmen brought about Bruce's
appointment eight years ago, and in that
time he has worked out q scientific
method of hunting, which has brought
about the death Of lions which are be-
lieved to have cost California nearly
100000 q year in deer alone.
Soon after Bruce began his work as
an official hunter Of lions he became con-
WINGED that a proper study Of lion kills
would tell him where to expect the lions
in greatest numbers and accordingly
simplify his work. He soon learned that
over a period of twenty years $500
mountain lions had been killed, reported
to the California Fish and Game Com
mission and paid for with bounties. BY
charting the kills, the exact locations OF
which were recorded, he determined the
areas where the beasts are most
numerous.
With few exceptions, all the lions had
been taken between the elevations Of
5000 and 5000 feet Not only do the
mountain lions confine their predatory
activities to that general altitude, but
they also remain in temperature belt
which, like the altitude belt, is the same
throughout the state.
How does this man hunt and kill as
many as four lions in single day in
localities where the permanent residents
have not laid eyes on one Of the crea-
lures in scores of years?
In answering the question, Bruce de-
clares that, contrary to the opinion Of
many naturalists and hunters, the Cali
fornia mountain lion is gamer than the
states black bear, and always dies fight
ing and snarling, never complaining.
"The lions kill sneak up on their
prey" he explains, land for II ut reason

TIME shark can no longer be re-
garded as a worse than worthless
creature, one that does a lot o.
harm and no good. It is beng found of
great value to mankind in surprisingly
wide variety Of ways.
In fact, it can now be truthfully said
that every part of sharA is turned
to some good account except its bite.
And perhaps science will some day find
way of using the powerful jaws and
dagger-like teeth that make this pirate"
of the seas so menacing to human life
and the lives of other fish.

dicted that shark oil will soon be refined
to point where it will have as great

What are known as identical twins"
are, as a rule, the only human beings SO
much alike that it is hard to tell them

But there are many people who look
enough alike at first glance to cause
some very embarrassing mistakes. A

a striking resemblance to a notorious
burglar for whom the police were
searching . few years ago, that he was
actually arrested tb-ae times during a

Sophie Lyons, the celebrated Amer

lady Of the British nobility and she more

TRIENDS Of Donna Katherine Rag
gio, one Of the most popular mem
u bers of the American colony in
Rome, Italy, are sure that she is the
living image of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.
Not only do they find the most strik-
ing physical resemblance between the
two women but they say that they show
almost identically the same tastes in
dress. Many of Donna Raggio's costumes
are practically duplicates of ones that
are favorites with the Presidents wife.
Like Mrs. Coolidge, Donna Raggio is
a New England woman. Her maiden
name was Katherine Osborn, and she

weapon between dog and lion and kill
the latter.
As he stopped to accomplish this pur-
pose the lion saw him and Immediately
forgot the dog. He jumped on the lion
hunter with such force that Bruce, IS
he fired, fell headlong in q pool Of water.
With his head under water, his pistol
hand beneath his body and the lion on
top, Bruce did not know whether the lion
momentarily would take bite from his
neck or claw him, or both. He struggled
for what seemed an interminably long

The experiments showed precisely the
same results with fish of different ages
and different species. There was always
much greater mortality in the un-

creatures that fail to show a favorable
response to what have been called the

Once, so he relates, there was reported
to him from the Big Bend country the
loss of abou. one hundred sheep in
thirty days from single flock. The
owner thought that black bears had
taken them, because lions had not been
seen in that vicinity in five years, and
two or three bears had been caught eat
ing the carcasses of the sheep in
question. Bruce, however, declares that
he has never known black bear to kill
an animal. They are scavengers by ma

College For Women Crooks

DAR1S has the unenviable distinction
of being the only city in the world
l. having regularly organized COL
lege in which girls and young women are
trained for careers Of crime.
The police admit the existence of such
an institution in spite of their long
continued efforts to put an end to it.
So wary are the teachers and students
that it has thus far been impossible to
bring them to punishment, even though
their activities are well known. On the
eve of police raid the college mysteri.
ously vanishes, only to reappear soon
again in an entirely different place.
At the head Of the college is woman
who, for forty years, has been a notori.
Gus criminal. The police know her as
a skillful pickpocket, sneak thief, decoy
for confidence men and jewel thieves,
and leader of a desperate gang of
Apaches. She was at one time the most
adept pickpocket in Paris, being able to
relieve man of his pocketbook while
giving him kiss.
Now that she is too old for active
crime, she is devoting herself to train
ing others for the devious ways she has
followed. She never lacks for pupils,
and they range in age from girls as
young as fourteen to women of thirty.
The curriculum Of this extraordinary
and shameless college includes courses in
most of the varieties of crime in which
women usually engage. The ones most

started off on a scent and soon had freed
a big male lion. He was thirty feet up
on the dead limb of cedar tree which
recently had been swept by fire.
Bruce tied the dogs, except one which
he was beginning to train for the hunts,
to nearby tree and prepared to shoot.
While taking aim, the limb broke and
down came the lion, claws outstretched.
AS the lion hurtled downward, the
free dog jumped toward him and imme-
diately they became single ball, the
lion hugging the dog closely to him.

IN love with this Gladstone head. It is
said that one well-known German edu-
Gator remained bachelor for many
years because he lost his heart to the
strangely fascinating likeness Of this
royal lady Of three thousand years aeo.
The head is considered one of the fin
est examples Of ancient Egyptian sculp.
ture yet brought to light, and it is al.
most priceless in value, in the eyes Of
psychologists. Ever since It's excavation
at Tell-el-Amarna some years ago it has
been the subject Of bitter controversy
between Germany and Egypt.
The latter charges that Professor Bor-
chardt stole the head and Struggled it
away to Berlin, where it now occupies
the place Of greatest honor in the Berlin
Museum. The Egyptians further charge
that the head was kept secretly in Berlin
until after the signing of the Versailles
Treaty in order to prevent its being re.
stored to Egypt.
But the Germans insist that these
charges concerning the head, which
many people think to be really be-
witched, are entirely without foundation.
