Travelling Zoo Will Exhibit

HARRISBURG, Pa, June o.
The Pennsylvania game commission
is going into the circus business on
q small Scale-at least it will operate
this summer a travelling Inenagerie,
which will visit the majority of the
important boroughs and cities of the
State. =
Thus far the menagerie contains
no lions or tigers; elephants or
giraffeS, but it does boast of prac-
tically all wild animals to be found
in Pennsylvania.
The most ferocious of the animals
are wildcats. There are three of
these, together with four bears; four
deers; raccoons, foxes, and
multitude of smaller animals, with
which the forests of the State
abound.
Members of the commission say
that in their opinion there are few
Pennsylvanians who realize what
large and varied supply of wild life
abounds in this State-judged the

was new and had not had time

The older levees in this region
were destroyed last year. Had this
break not occurred, and flooded the
nearby region, the water might have
continued down stream and pro-
duced heavier floods below, he
stated.

In this V-type two blocks of four cyl

It's safe to say that Cadillac and La

assures owner satisfaction than any
others in the industry can give. For
there is no other car with such an
engine and no other car that COM
mands avolume sufficient to give as
much as. Cadillac does - without
charging a heavy price penalty.
Cadillac and La Sale, therefore, re-

want the kind of car which leaves
nothing to be desired you must turn
to Cadillac and La Sale, because
