What the Zoo needs is a few
"petable" animals.
Commenting on the clawing
Saturday of little Phyllis Hood,
IL, by bear at the Zoo, DR.. Will
liam Mann, superintendent, said
today:
"The part that hurts me is
that the child just wanted to
pet the beast. This Zoo needs
a few animals that children can
pet"
Phyllis, visiting her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. o. P. Hood,
1900 block Lamont St. N. W., from
her home in Corning, N. Y, is re-
covering at Emergency Hospital
from the bad scratches she re-
ceived.
Used to Pet Bear
She was returning from a trip
through the Zoo with her nurse
and little brother and sister. At
the Harvard Street entrance she
suddenly remembered a bear she
had overlooked-a bear she used
to visit when Washington was her
home.

PATRON OF QUACK
TO BE PUNISHED
Vienna Authority Widened in
Campaign to Purify Profes-
sions and Business.

VIENNA CP-Oficials of Vienna
have received new authority in their
campaign to rid the businesses and
professions of the city of so-called
"quacks."
In Vienna a quack is not neces-
sarily an irregular practitioner in
some field of medicine. Viennese
quackery may involve the unau-
thorized sale of coal or eggs. Or the
thrifty storekeeper who makes an
extra shilling by giving clandestine
haircuts in rear room of his shop
may come under the police definition
of commercial pirate" whose un-
licensed activities injure the trade of
regularly established BARRIERS.
In a nation in which opportunities
are limited police have determined
to keep the cobbler at his last, the
chestnut vender at his roaster and
all others to their licensed callings.
A Vienna magistrate has given au-
thorities an additional and an ef
fective weapon in this drive. He
held, in an Interpretation Of decree,
that a person who knowingly deals
with a quack violates the spirit OF
the decree Quack and patron are
equally culpable and severe penalties
have been provided.

FRENCH TO RETAIN
AMERICAN LIBRARY
FIandin Saves U. S. CoIIec-
ton From Collapse Over
Low Finances.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARASITIC American Library,
last Of the World War foundations Of
the United States in France, will keep
its doors open after q hard fight
against financial difficulties.
The institution, outgrowth Of soldier
libraries during the war, has seen its
membership fall in four years from
4,250 to 1,225 with disintegration Of
the American colony. A consequent
drop in revenue brought on financial
crisis.
Now the French government has
recognized the value of the library to
its professors and students in their
studies of the United States, and
Premier Flandin himself arranged for
the transfer of $4,000 francs to save
the institution from collapse.
The library management says that
S04 of the 1925 members are French,
200 British and the others American.
OF the native members. 504 are pro-
fessors and students, entitled to re-
duced membership rate of Is francs
I Approximately S165) year. Ameri-
can students are given the same rate,
as are members of the American
Legion and the American Embassy
and consulate. All other users pay
from 100 francs approximately $3.50
year and up.
The value of the American Library
to French professors and students is
illustrated in the fact that its books
are mailed to 9 universities and IS
libraries in all parts of the country.
Through an arrangement with the
National Library free postage is pro-
vided for such mailings.
Housed in an old private dwelling
near the center of Paris, the library
contains 10000 volumes and has 300
periodicals available for lending or
reference. AS part of its service it
seeks to answer any questions con-
cerning the United States, either by
telephone or by mail.

By the Associated Press.
OMAHA.-Twenty-year- ar-old Mervin
Aegerter of Seward. Nebr.. is going
away to college and the bill is being
paid by Don Laurel, a Hereford that
thrived in the drought.
All last Summer when the drought
made feed scarce, Aegerter saw to it
that Don Laurel was nourished, but
he little thought the Hereford would
win for him the grand championship
OF the All Club baby beef division
at the recent Ak-Sar- Ben exposition.
Later when Don Laurel went on
the auction block it brought s105 a
pound for gross profit of s1,113 to
its proud owner. With that money
Aegerter intends to finance himself
through the College of Agriculture at
the University Of Nebraska.
