NationaI Forests in East

THE overshadowing size of the big national
forests Of the West has obseured the de-
velopment Of the Federal reserves in the East,
yet steadily growing numbers of campers is
each year taking advantage Of the vacation
opportunities in the mountain areas owned by
the Government and finding in them rest, re-
Taxation and relief from the heat Of Summer
time
A short distance back in from the Eastern
Seaboard there are 16 forests under Govern
ment control in which camping sites have been
and are being developed for the use of vaca-
tionists In the past it was the custom for
campers to come and stay for week or more
at time but the accessibility by auto has
changed this situation somewhat in the past
two or three years Now the preponderance Of
the visitors come for week end stay and make
frequent trips during the Summer. Many visit
several of the forests during the course Of the
season.
The proximity to the large cities of the East
promises greater interest in the future as the
tracts are developed and the trails and roads
made more extensive. For the washingtenian
the future development of the Shenandoah
Park offers great opportunities for Summer
camp life. Much has already been accomplished
in developing the park and the extensive plans
for the future indicate that this park may wen
become one Of the most popular If not the msst
popular in the East

rubbed q piece Of lemon over his tongne. Tommy
looked languidly out at the crowd
There was his brother Larry standing in
the aisle, and waving his to him.
Come on you louse" said Larry. Come
on, you spider! Doncha let that bum beat
cha!"
And Joe tapped his glove at him and laughed.
the first time he had laughed in many q
long day.
Australian Joe Cans didn't knock him out.
He did everything else. But, in the thirteenth,
Tommy knocked him down. Or maybe Joe just
slipped; he took coant, anyway. Again
Tommy could hear his brother bawling to him
to go in and kill him.
He couldn't do that Cans won by mile.
And the beating he gave Tommy didn't do him
any good. Tommy never amounted to much
after that bout. He went out to the coast
a year or two ago. You know how it IL.
They go out to the coast, and that's the last
you ever hear of them
Larry Malone was killed in one of those
prison riots last yeac.
Doc Cunningham still hangs on. That was
a sweet fight to him; he still remembers it.
Maybe he thinks he got his revenge on Tommy.
Maybe he did, too. However, everybodyS
agreed that is wasn't till after that knockdown
in the seventh that Tommy showed any signs
of championship caliber.
Docs 5mart fellow, all right, but there's
one thing he should have kept in mind: you
can't really make trouble between two Malones.
They may not get on too well with each other,
they may have their private quarrels, but let
some outsider step IN and you'll see how fast
they forget their grievances.
They've always been like that; they'll always
be So Doc Cunningham ought to have known
this; the Cunninghams much the same.

IOwEvER, he was out Doc took pains to
let Tommy know about it. Every day or
two Doc would think up some little way to
remind Tommy that his brother was again at
large It wasn't easy However, he got some
Of his messages through.
As result, there was plenty on Tommys
mind, II that's what you'd call it.
He really was scared of his brother Larry.
Who'd blame him? Larry had kicked the life
out of him, when he was growing up; he'd
always had the Indian sign on him.
Middleweight champion of the world, what
was that? There were heavyweights among
the Malones. He'd failed his brother, he'd let
him rot in jail, never even sent him basket
of fruit with a file in one of the bananas.
His sparring partners, his new manager MS
handlers, all of them knew he wasn't looking
good. He'd catch them looking at him; he
saw mockery, contempt, derision, where there
was only concern. He hated them, hated tnear
false good nature, their determined high spirits.
He was thirsty, too; he was making weight
for this bout, and he was always thirsty. Thirsty
for water, thirsty for liquor.

He wanted to get everything out of his mind.
He kept saying to himself, if he could only get
away get away for three or four days, roll In
a few cutters Get away from people fussmg
around him, kidding him, feeding him lot
of boloney. Get away from the road work,
from the country the cowbells, and the bees,
and the air that was sinking of green things.
Get his lungs full of cigar smoke and gasoline
and the smell of hot asphalt.
Get away from his brother Larry"
All things come at last, except contentment.
They took Tommy's picture and his weight at
3 o'clock, and gave him big drink Of water
afterwards. At $50 he was walking behind
his handlers across the diamond of Ebbett's
Field.
He tried to put on a show; he went out
staggering, the bathrobe swinging about his
heels: he was bobbing, bowing, waving his
taped hands to his admirers. All the time
he looking for some one.
Doc was I'D at the ringside. Hello, Tommy"
he yelled You seen Larry? He's here, o. 4"
Doc laughed. Tommy looked dumb. That
wasn't hard for him.
Larry Malone was there, all right. He was
up in the dollar seats. Doc didn't know it.
Australian Joe Cans was sitting in his cor
ner stolid inpe-turbabe. Tommy went over;
they touched hands, they bobbed their heads
at each other. Tommy wasn't mad at Joe, and
he wasn't afraid of him, either.
The bell rang twice, the referee called them
together. It was Pop OBrien, from Philiie.
Tommy had worked with him plenty Of times.
They knew by heart what he had TO say.
Tommy was glad it was a Philadelphia referee.
They're good. They don't break you until
you've clinched, they don't slap your back every
time you work in close.
Australian Joe Cans was class Tommy soon
found that out.
Tommy was doing the best he could. He
Just couldn't seem to get started that was all.
Joe had a swell left hand.
In the fourth the boys in the dollar seats
made a highly successful attempt to get into
the 50 section. Among them, and well to the
van, was Larry Malone

pUT Tommy didn't pay any attention to all
that. He was too busy with Cans. Cans
had opened up the old cut over the eye. He
was working on it all the time. The blood
was salty in Tommy's mouth, and 1t stung his
eye
They'd told Tommy Cans couldn't hit. That
wrong. He could hit, all right. They'd
told him he couldn't take it. Tommy didn't
know about that There was blood on Cans,
all right, but it was all Tommys.
He caught Tommy twice with right, in
the sixth. One of them hurt plenty. The rest

Doc was certainly disappointed. He sent
Tommy up to the mountains OF Centre County,

So, just when he was getting to be some

caused the death today of Gus Mott,
5S-year-old farmer, recently turned
keeper of the African veldt, at the
Detroit geological park.
Mott died of wounds suffered late
Friday when he was gored and
trampled by an 0OO-pound gnu,
largest specie of the African ante

horned horse"
Only quick action by Jack Dow

the keeper from instant death.
Mott unarmed, first entered the
Enclosure of an ostrich. which had
been placed apart like the gnu,
because of unusual viciousness.
Then he walked into the gnu's pen.
ParadoXically the gnu had been
nicknamed Gus" by other keepers
because Mott had made it a spe-
cial pet" after the animal had
killed a mate and two calves, and
been confined, therefore, in sep
arate Enclosure.
Downey heard scream and run

keeper being gored and trampel.
With the rocks and an iron bar,
he managed to attract attention of
the gnu, and fought with it through
bars until three other keepers res

CONGRESS IS
At CLOSE OF
RECORD GRIND
Senate Expects to Do
Weeks Work in Few
Hours to Adjourn Today.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The
senate expected to do weeks work
in few hours today, and end this
unprecedented session of congress.
Unemployment relief, prohibition,
aid for home-owners, treaties and
pot-pourri of other issues were up
for action in the last hours. Ad-
journment by midnight was sched-
uled.
The house passed the So, 122 900, 900
relief program in final form Friday.
The senate was ready to act today,
and send the bill to President
Hoover for signature.
Democratic senate vets unex-
pectedly unfolded plan to force a
vote on repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. Senator Root Buckley
Dem, o. gave notice of motion
of suspended rules in order to OBJ
tain test vote.
The question is whether the sem
ate judiciary committee shall be dis
charged of further consideration of
the Wagner repeal resolution.
Harrison Sets Precedent
Senator Willard c. Tydings Dem,
Md, announced that he had polled
the Democratic side and that 90 per
cent favored submitting the repeal
question.
But Senator Pat Harrison (Dem.,
Miss, has given his colleagues a
precedent for refusing to vote for
repeal or submission at this time.
He explained that after March he
would vote to carry out the Dem
ocratic plank on repeal
He said that if he were a mem
Der of the state constitutional con-
vention in Mississippi, he would vote
to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment.
But he said that as citizen of
MississipSt he would vote to main
tain prohibition in that state.
A White House conference broke
The deadlock on relief. President
Hoover informed senators he would
not veto the bill, merely because it
contained a stipulation for pub
licity on all future Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loans. The
Finance Corporation contented it
self with a protest to house leaders,
who insisted on publicity.
Bill Nearly Is Law
With that understanding reached,
the house and senate conferees
quickly agreed, and the bill now is
within few hours of becoming a
law.
The home loan bank bill is hung
up on the question of currency ex-
pansion. The senate attached to
the bill rider authorizing an issue
of nearly $1,000,0o0,000 of National
bank notes backed by bonds. The
house has voted to reject the rider.
Senate leaders believe currency
expansion must be abandoned to OBJ
tain favorable action. Confenees
meet Friday night, and again adj
journed without agreement.
Republican Leader James E. Wat
son has offered the adjournment
resolution to the senate. 1t states
that congress shall adjourn today,
sine die, but fixes no hour. DEM
ocratic and Republican leaders said
they were confident of adjourn
ment.

. SAVED after
JUNGLE CRASH
MedaryviIIe Man Lost in
Mexican Jungle More
Than Two Weeks.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, July 16.-Rescue
parties which penetrated jungles
of eastern Mexico returned TO San
Geronimo today with Clarence
McElroy of Medaryville Ind0
aviator saved from death after
wandering through the wild in
terror for more than two weeks.
Roy Gordon, American living at
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, was killed
when McElroy's plane crashed
June 81.
The men were flying q Waco
plane to Honduras for delivery.
McElroy sustained head injuries
when his machine crashed.
Although unable to give a CO.
herent account of his wanderings
due to his extremely weakened
condition, he was able to tell his
reScuers that he had found a stream
which he followed for fourteen
days, before eventually it led him
to a ranch house.
McElroy was unable to speak
Spanish, and could not explain his
name or his predicament to the
ranchers he met.
For this reason it was not clear
which of the Americans had come
out of the crash alive.
The identity of the lone Ameri-
can who staggered out of the
jungle to the ranch house was not
cleared up until McElroy was
brought here.
First information from McElroy
was that the crash occurred June
81, when the plane struck Bander-
lila hill, in the jungle south OF
San Geronimo.
Gordon, it appeared, was killed
outright. McElroy managed to
crawl out of the wreckage.
He remained at the scene -four
days, first reports said, hoping
that he would be sighted.
Airplanes flew over the route but
did not find him.
The flier then began his weary
march.
