concentrated effort in the last days
of the drive.
Marmon Stresses Need
''It always is easy to raise the
first half of our quota" explained
Marmon. 1.-THE hard part will be
to complete the total within the
next few days. Every worker must
double his efforts to put the fund
across"
Reports from the employees divi-
SionS indicate that in number of
instances the employees of local
firms have greatly exceeded their
subscriptions of last year. Employees
of the E. G. Atkins Company sub
scribed more than 5000 above their
total in the 1927 drive.
Indiana Bell Telephone Company
employees exceeded their former
contribution by $500, while the
Presto Lite Company employees
nave raised double their 1927 sub
scription. William Laurie Company
average 81 an employee and the Ford
Motor Company employees almost
doubled the amount they contrib
uted last year. The filthy employees
of the Colonial Furniture Company
have given $159 and the employees of
Klein & Kuhn Company, heretofore
not organized for the fund cam
paign, have raised $3.50.
Musical Program Given
Wednesdays luncheon was fea-
tured by a musical program given
by the Ruick ensemble, one of the
citys most popular musical organ
izations. The Rev. H. E. Eberhardt,
director of Wheeler City Rescue
Mission, asked the invocation.
Girls Work day was observed
with sponsors from the Y. w. c. A.,
the Camp Fire Girls and Scouts.
The address was made by Mrs. E. c.
Rumpler.
Chairman Marmon Tuesday an
an unexpected donation of
$428 from the East Washington
Merchants Association. The gift
was derived from an auction sale of
seventeen unclaimed prizes offered
during the associations recent fall
festival.
The fund total Tuesday was APP
proximately $1,000 short of me
amount raised at the correspond
ing date last year. A little more
than Sc per cent of the $781 900 goal
had been reported Tuesday night.
Over Her Quota
Frank V. Mills, chairman of dis
trict No. So in the Mile Square di-
vision, and Mrs. Ethel P. Clarke,
chairman of District No. 80 in the
West division Of the Women's Army,
were reported "over the top" at the
Tuesday luncheon.
Mills exceeded his quota of $3,473
by one dollar, while Mrs. Clarke was
100 per cent over her quota.
Several thousand dollars has been
donated by citizens who desire to
withhold their names. Only Chair

Vicious Gnu Cores
Keeper i'm Cage
At Geological Park
Attendant, Failing to Use
Safety Device, Charged
by Enraged Animal.

Charged by an African gnu as he
was cleaning the animals cage this
morning, Morris Phillips, so years old,
1927 Ellicott street, keeper at the Ma
tional Geological Park was severely gored
about the groin and abdomen. The
animal came from the outside inclosure
and attacked Phillips suddenly from
behind. The keeper wheeling about
succeeded in warding of the gnu long
enough to stagger from the cage and
slam the door behind him.
Phillips was rushed to Providence
Hospital by F. x. Cox, proprietor OF
an adjacent lunch stand, who saw him
stagger from the cage and call for
help. The male gnu which attacked
Phillips has bad reputation at the
Zoo and a safety contrivance had been
rigged whereby a section OF the cage
could be closed when the man entered
the inclosure Phillips, however, had
failed to avail himself of the appliance.
according to w. H. Blackburne, head
keeper.
The gnu, a species of African an
telope, is equipped with 18-inch horns
and is widely known for its i'll temper.
Keepers had approached the animal
with caution since it was placed in the
Zoo two years ago. The animal IS
known as white bearded, taken in
Tanganyika, East Africa, by the Smith
sonian-C -Chrysler expedition, and placed
in the Zoo here in November of 1926.
It was the second time Phillips had
been attacked by the gnu. On the
previous occasion, several months ago,
the animal knocked him down and had
him pinned to the floor when the cries
of alarmed spectators caused the gnu
to halt momentarily and Phillips
escaped.
The hospital said this afternoon that
Phillips conIition was promising.

eliminated from the schedule because
the open landing conditions would sub

in Panama, Colombia and Bolivia would
require too devious a course.
Mr.. Hoover is enthusiastic over an
opportunity to indulge in his favorite
sport. He is a veteran deep-sea fisher
man. He hopes to hook a big sailfish
and is prepared to do battle with one.
He brought plenty of fishing tackle. He
will use small fish bait. He was dressed

suit, walks the quarterback rapidly for
morning exercise, relaXss in her suite

The ship probably will cross the
Equator on Thanksgiving day. Elabo-
rate preparations have been made for

will be immune from the Neptune in

before. His secretary, George Acker-
son, and more than 80 newspaper cor
respondents will be victims.
Mr.. Hoover posed yesterday with the
ships foot ball team, which won the
fleet championship this year. He shook
hands with the captain, Miles Tim
minis, a husky electrician from Boston,
and commented on the size of the
players.
Mr.. Hoover ignored the general order

on deck, don life jackets and learn the

CHICAGO, November 21.-The de-

set in.
First there was the bandit who got
peeved at his victim, threw away his
gun and started fight. Then there
was the bandit who suffered, taking
so long to give the command to
"st-t-t-ick 'em up" that police were on
the scene before the victim could re-
spond. Again, just last week, there
was the hold-up man who picked deaf
gentleman as his victim, and had to
shout SO loud to make his demands
