Most women would be satisfied to gain
distinction in mans field by prospect
ing In the summer, but Miss Rice adds
further ianrels to her outdoor reputa-
stion by trapping in the winter. 10
this way she actually is successful
enough to make her stake for summer
operations. While she uses gun like
a veteran she never shoots for sport.
Once, when a moose fell to her rife
she preserved the meat for future use.
Devotion to animals is one OF Miss
Rice's outstanding characteristics. Al
ways, In the North, she is seen with
and known by her famous dogs. De-
spite the unwritten law Of the north
country, she ignores and never uses
the lash. In this matter she has the
full approval OF the dogs, who not
only shower her with devotion but re
pay her by being the best trained dogs

Squatters Keep Homes
 Near Old Paris Wall

PARIS. May 21-Several thous- and "squatters" on the belt of territory just outside the site of the old city wall are clinging to their modest homes after nearly ten years of resistance to the au- thorities.
 The zone was belt of land about two hundred yards wide or which it was forbidden to build before the war. because of the need for a clear firing range if the city were attacked.
 Rag pickers, dog clippers, and other folk of modest occupations moved onto the zone and built small shacks around which they planted little gardens. They were not disturbed because their pres ence was not objectionable.
 When the time came to improve the section, to build moderate priced apartments and to lay out play gardens on it, after the wall disappeared, the "squatters" re fused to leave without indemnity. They are still there and the gov ernment has appointed com. mittee to consult city authorities as to how they can be busted Lawyers say they have vested rights and must be paid.

MINERS BILLED TO PLAY VETS
 THIS EVENING
Barring Resumption of Rain, Ball Tossers Will
 Get Active Again

Barring resumption of rain fall such as has shot the City League schedule full of holes dur ing the past week, causing the postponement of three games in that time, the American Legion and Alaska Juneau clubs will en- gage in a seven-frame struggle on the City Park diamond to- night. The game is billed to start promptly at 6:30 o'clock.
 The Vets, tied with the Moose for the leadership, with one win and no losses, have chance to boost their standing if they can cop from the Miners. With an overcast sky and a resultant dark evening, Manning and his speed would be a good bet for the Vets and either he or Cunningham is expected to be on the mound.
 The Miners, although hurt by the loss of Dud Stair, have an other good twirler in Robertson who also clouts them far and wide. They have a good batting outfit, probably the heaviest hit ters in the circuit. The game to- night should be close one and of the kind that fans can get a run for their money.

 When she first went to the school she said she had much trouble from some of the bigger boys, who overturned desks, tied up the schoolroom doors and broke windows.
 The boys told her they wanted man teacher, someone who could thrash them. They were taunted, they said, by boys from other schools because their teach CT did not inflict this form of punishment
 Obtaining a stoutN strap, Miss Thompson was able to nullify the cause for complaint and all trouble at her school ceased forth with.
