Between that and Second-de-

historic case reveals the distinc-

For seven years two fine and
full-grown polar bears mad lived
together in an amity which
seemed only deepened by almost
continuous buffoonery; they boxed,
bit and tusseled until they drew
blood. And when one died, the
other seemed the loneliest crea-

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover, formally NOM
mated for reelection, virtually has
decided to cancel his proposed trip
to California next month.
The President had been DESTROYS
of going to Los Angeles to open the
Olympic games and it had been
suggested that he receive the for
NAL notice of his denomination at
his Palo Alto home, where he was
notified in 1923.
1t is indicated strongly at the
White House that Mr.. Hoover re-
luctantly has decided it would not
be best to make the tranScontinen-
tai journey at this critical time.
1t is expected that the President
will receive the notification and de-
liver his address of acceptance
either at the White House or at his
Rapidan fishing camp, and will di-
rect his reelection campaign from
those two places,
A definite decision on these plans
awaits further conferences with his

clasped so tight that they showed
white at the knuckles.
Not until the Pennsylvania dele
cation changed its vote did her face
relax into a smile.
When New York gave its ire
mendous vote to General Hartford,
Dolly saw the years behind, all the
years of struggle for her brother.
First she was his secretary. She
nursed his invalid wife, was a sec
ond mother to his children, and
climaXed her career of helpfulness
in her Herculean fight for his re-
nomination.
Chilly Toward Press
Mrs. Gam and her husband were
chilly toward the press after the
victory" and he complained that
he had been called Mr.. Dolly
Gam" and that Mrs. Gam had
been 'pestered."
Mrs. Gam at first indicated she
would not comment, but finally OBJ
served that she never was worried
about the result for one instant"
Mrs. Willebrandt stepped sudden
ly into the breach. She had planned
to second Curtis nomination, but
gave up this lip service for more
practical activity. Her foray into
the administrators battlefield was
unexpected, for Mrs. Willebrandt
claims she has given up politics.

may be expected to be the scene
of frequent and prolonged political

in the Indiana Girls school at Cler-

She was committed to the school
by Judge A. j. Stevenson.
The girl confessed that she &C

Citizens State bank of $1,400. She
received $50 of the loot. Northern

They bought the bear. They put
her cage inside the great polar
bears den. At once she and the
bereft one fraternized.
They licked each others noses
and ate meals by side. At night
they slept close together, although
bars separated them. They con-

Nevertheless, before they were

That is DR.. Hornaday's feeling
about what then happened.
TOR the mighty male was a
Il white streak through the air.
He lunged and the smaller female,
dumfounded for a moment, was
beyond retaliation.
He pressed the advantage. He
snapped and tore and chewed,
and thereafter for twenty min
utes despite the defense of his
victim and the attempts of keep
ers to divert his rage, he did not
relent in the onslaught.
Six frenzied men tried to stop
him. When in the first terrific at
tack, the female fell near the cage
bars, they were able to beat him
upon the head, drive steel spikes
into him, ram him with planks.
But he thwarted them; he
seized her, dragged her inward
and down to the ice that covered
the swimming pool, beyond their
reach.
Ice and snow that polished the
floor of the den presented a haz-
ard that stopped them from fol-
lowing; their last chance was a
lasso.

Dr.. Hornaday admitted he was

Comes now another ripple in the sea of prohibi-
ton discussion. New York newspapers recently ran
a large advertisement, sponsored by number of
prominent men, seeking the repeal of prohibition and
suggesting that Europe pay its debts to us fol-
lows:
France to.pay in wines
Germany to pay us in beer and wines.
England to pay Us in whiskey and gin
Italy to pay us in vermouth and wines.
1t is pointed out that this provides simple meth
cd for Europe to pay us without hurting any Ameri-
