MOUNTAIN LION
 LOVES CASTE
Wolves Are Far More FerOcious Claims Lloyd
 Thompson

Hamilton, Mont (UP)-They call him cougar" puma, panther, painter and mountain lion-but by any name, he's a coward.
 Such was the disillusioning statement made here to-day by Lloyd Thompson, former member of the U. s. Biological Survey, in discussing his experiences with the United Press.
 "The mountain lion has been called the King of the American Jungle,' but doubt if he deserves the title," Thompson said.
 "Tales have been told of the cougars ferocity and of the dam age he works on livestock. The lion isn't so ferocious and he doesn't kill so many cattle, in Montana, any more"
 Thompson has killed or cap tured more than 175 mountain lions. so he should know his sub feet matter. He estimates that at present there are not more than 25 lions in western Montana.
 The former survey member told of some of his experiences in hunt ing mountain lions.
 T have killed more than a 100' and I never yet met lion which offered any resistance. It's true that they sometimes will fight back at dogs, but rarely against man. My general experiences has been that when a lion is treed, all the hunter has to do is to maneuver around the tree, draw bead on the animal and shoot.
 evolves are far more ferocious and kill far more livestock" Thompson said. "A wolf has tre- mendous power in his cruel jaws, much more than a mountain lion. In fact, wolf's jaws contain more biting strength than grizzly bear"

 work, Was in keeping with the Masters And so 8 Mother beloved by all, She, above all was His Choice. The Mother whose shining life of
 piety Was an inspiration to all human

Berkeley, Cal, Feb 23.-UP)- A shot of straight water is an ex- hilirating as whiskey, the experi- ence of mouse named Oscar in the laboratories of the University of California, indicated to-day.
 Oscar had a few drops of "heavy water" a fluid discovered by Uni versity scientists last year. It looks like water, meets the chemi- cal formula of two parts of hy- drogen and one of oxygen, and therefore is water. But the hy- drogen atoms are "isotropes," twice as heavy as ordinary hydro gen.
 Discoverers of the fluid won- dered what would happen if a warm blooded animal drank "heayy water".

BIG DETECTIVES OF
BRAIN TRUSTER"

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The
administrations chief "brain
truster"-Professor Tugwell, UNI
idersecretary of agriculture, al
ready has made up his mind as to
one of the big detectives in his
new job.
1t will be a renewal of his eff
forts to obtain a food and drugs
law adequate for the protection
of consumers"
Tugwell was unsuccessful in his
first attempt to have such a law
enacted. Credited generally with
being author of the original pro-
posal, the measure struck such OPP
position in congress that it was
finally sidetracked.
Rumor has it that Tugwell all
but wept. His disappointment was
so keen that President Roosevelt
felt moved to dispatch him a note
advising that he ''keep his shirt
on"
He feels better about it now
and is determined to fight.
Heartened BY Senate Win
Something akin to an ulti-
matum was ISSUED by him to en-
ployes of the food and drug adj
ministration:
g. Efforts of the administra-
ton to secure satisfactory law
have not ended" he wrote. "They
have only begun. You will have
to work for a while longer with
the Anticipated and awkward law
now in force"
He is expected to launch his at
tack on his present swing through
the west and far west. He has
confided as much to friends.
Heartened by his decisive vic
tory in being confirmed as the
first undersecretary of agri-
culture over stubborn senate OPP
position, he is eager for the fray.
