FAMED BELL BUzzARD LEADS
 CHARMED LIFE
Indiana's Mysterious Bird Destined to Become
 Legend

Indianapolis.-Ind famed belled buzzard, that makes its phantom-like appearance regular iy during summer months, appar- ently is destined to become q legend.
 As unvarying as the first robin, the gaunt, mysterious bird makes its appearance each spring. Us- ually it is first reported from the southern part of the state.
 From then until the first cold months arrive, the belled buzzard is seen for brief intervals as 1t wings its high, solitary flight. sometimes over the kankakee marshes of northern Indiana, sometimes over the thickly-wood- ed, .desolate hills of the south.
 Bell Buxzafd's History
 The history of the belled buzz ard dates back at least decade. It is related that Brown county farmer first attached the bell to the bird after he found 1t in 8 nest in a hollow log. Whether others since then have had tiny bells fastened to their necks is a frequent conjecture. If not, then the mysterious bird stays con- stantly on the wing. never resting in one place. He has been reported from widely separated parts of the state on successive days.
 There is apparently no doubt in the minds of persons who report seeing 1t. Usually they are farm CTS. Their stories are much alike.
 "I suddenly heard a soft, tink- ling bell, seemingly coming from the air." most of the stories go. T looked up and there was the buzzard. I could see and hear the bell plainly"
 Charmed Life
 Farmers say the bird leads a charmed life. They tell of firing at 1t repeatedly. sometimes from close range, but apparently with no effect. Some have gone out with the announced intention of killing the bird and ending once and for all the strange stories about 1t. But still the bird flys on.
 Small boys, seeing the bird rest ing a moment in woods, tell of having pelted at 1t with stones. They have been as ineffective as their elders with guns.
 The famed bird has been the subject of scores of written oddi- ties and even radio comments. Newspaper seldom pass by an op- portlunity to note its arrival.
 Doubtless the original belled buzzard long since has died. His fame, however, hardly will be per- mitted to diminish with Hoosiers. From year to year, beginning each spring and ending each fall, he probably will be reported as seen in some outlying community.

INDIANS SEEK
 EDUCATION

Great Falls, Mont. (UP)-ln- dians of the southwest, particular ly of the Navajo tribe, are making rapid educational and economic advances, NJ. K. Sniffen, secretary of the indian Rights association reported recently.
 sniffen, touring Indian reserva- tions of the west said the south ern tribesmen had abandoned their old individualistic ideas, and were cooperating for their mutual bene- fit In developing formerly arid agricultural districts and manu- facturing such products as baskets blankets and silver ornaments.
 He said that many of the Indians now arc asking that their children be sent to schools, where they once hid their children from gov. ernment agents and forbade them to attend the white mans classes. The secretary said that Indians In Alaska, particularly the south- eastern portion, had suffered more than the members of any other tribe from conditions attending the depression.

SYNTHETIC WOOD PROVES HARDER
 THAN TEAK
Chemists Told of Experi- ments for Artificial
 Lumber

Washington, (UP) = Chemists now can manufacture every known kind of lumber from farm waste products.
 pr o. R. Sweeney of Iowa State college reported to the American Chemical society that synthetic woods harder than teak, the hard est that grows, and softer than cork can be produced by chemical processes.
 Cornstalks, corncobs, straw, bagasse and spent licorice root are some of the materials which may be used in artificial lumber manu- facture, Dr Sweeney said.
 Harder Than Red Wood
 "Malizolith," the hardest of the pseudo-wo ds, has cross break ing strength coefficient twice that of teak and almost that of ordin-
 "The wood can be manufactured for approximately $250 a ton," Professor Sweeney said. "At this cost there will undoubtedly be q considerable demand for 1t for purposes for which 1t is peculiarly fitted, but if we are to help the farmer by buying his waste prod ucts, we must make the process cheaper and create a larger de- mand."
 By varying the process of manu- facture, the report stated, 1t Is possible to obtain woods of dif- ferent hardness and strength, cor responding to the various kinds of lumber used in building trades.
 Adaptability
 Dr Sweeney pointed out that one of the, great advantages of this chemical lumber was its adap- tability to exacting demands. For instance, he explained. a board of 25O feet long and four feet wide is the largest that can be sawed out of the largest tree, while a board 12 feet wide and even wider and of unlimited length could be manufactured from corn stalks.
 The chemist said such manu- facture of wood from waste farm products should become of great importance in raising the economic status of the farmer and at the same time enable industry to ob- tain all desirable lumber without further destroying American for ests.

BEAR HIDES HER CUBS TO FIGHT
 PHOTOGRAPHER
Bullet Close to Animal $ Head Frightens Her
 in Hasty Retreat

After having hidden two cubs ir underbrush, a brown bear mother turned on Amos Burg, of New York, representative of the Ma tional Geographic Society and of the Geographic Magazine, and did not stop her advance. toward him until bullet fired by Guide Allen E. Hasselborg whizzed closely past her head. Then, frightened, she retreated to her cubs and made off with them.
 The incident took place on the shores of Seymour Canal while MT. Burg accompanied by MT. Hassel- borg, and Ray Veatch, representa- tive of the yachting fleet of Camp bell Church, Jr., was taking motion pictures of the bear and her off, springs.
 The mother bear was within 25 feet of the motion picture camera, with MT. Burg operating it, before she turned back. Her advance had been deliberate, but she retreated quickly.
 MT Burg came North a month ago and since then has been talk ing pictures and collecting material of wild life for illustrations and articles in the Geographic Maga- zine. He came to Juneau last even ing on the yacht Caroline from Hole Harbor, Seymour Canal. He will embark on the steamship Ad- miral Rogers tomorrow morning for Seattle.
