Central Union's team and their many
supporters this afternoon as the

which may keep three of Ell Centro's

the afternoon have lowered the odds
somewhat, but nothing can dampen
the spirits of the Hub city school,

Belgian Monarch Gives Large
African Area for Research
by Scientists.

In the interest of scientific research
King Albert of the Belgians has de-
creed that large area be set aside in
Belgian Congo for the preservation OF
the fauna and flora of Africa and for
the scientific study of rare species in
their natural environments.
Announcement of the establishment
Of the scientific preserve was made
through the Associated Press by Prince
de Ligne, the Belgian Ambassador at
Washington, on receipt OF cable dis
patches from Brussels.
The sanctuary will be known as the
Albert National Park. 1t is situated
in the Eastern part of the Belgian
Congo, between Lake Ktvu and Lake
Edward, and comprises approximately
400 900 acres. Administration will be
in the hands of a commission on which
King Albert has already appointed two
American scientists, DR.. John D. Mer-
Ram, president of the Carnegie 1nSt1-
tuition, and DR.. Henry Fairfield Osborn:
president of the American Museum OF
Natural History.
A decree by King Albert prohibits
under severe penalties the killing, cap,
ture or molestation OF any WILD amman
within the area, including those Whlch
are considered dangerous. IL also Is

The site was selected by the late

there for the preservation of that rap

GOES INTO SECOND WEEK

MANCHESTER, England, August s.
The Lancashire textile stoppage entered
its second week today, apparently no
nearer solution than it was last Mon
day when 100000 workers remained
away from the mills in protest at an
enforced reduction of 1872 per cent in
their wages.
Although the half million strikers lost
about $4,000, 900 in wages last week. they
apparently have not begun to worry
about their situation. Manchester
restaurants, movies and amusement
places, were filled yesterday with crowds
of strikers, seemingly carefree and
happy.
Prayers were offered in Lancashire
churches for an early settlement of the
dispute.
