something was happening in
side. He gulped and remarked
TO himself that he never had ex-
perienced such an attack of
heart burn" Then as the coy
ote began TO scramble around
and dig in TO make footholds so
he could climb up and get his
knife, the beast suffered q ter
rible stomach ache.
Il can't understand It," he
said to himself. Such a terrible
ache in my stomach. I don't
know what the cause can be un-
less there was something in that
luscious lot of bunch grass" or
words TO that effect.
All this time the coyote was
after the knife sticking in the
heart. As he pulled it out the
beast went into a spasm that
shook his insides and tumbled
the coyote and the other victims
about like peas in basket.
When the CONFUSION ceased the
coyote again took aim, and with
a firm foothold, again hurled the
blade at the great heart.
This time he was success
full. The knife went In 10 the
hilt. The beast shuddered
and collapsed, dead.
Again recovering his knife,
the coyote began cutting into
the tough flesh between the
great ribs that stood out like
rock walls. He worked for no
body knows how long and finally
made an opening through which
he and the other victims Of the
beasts voracio appetite
escaped. They stretched, filled
their lungs with the fresh air,
and scampered off leaving the
beast where he fell.

animals.

Stomach Ache
And Dies From . Hssr+
Attack
A GAIN Harold Cundy's gift to
the Washington State His
torieal society, handmade
volume relating to the Oregon
country" OF prehistoric days,
provides interesting material
for this column. Yesterday
there was presented the story
of the creation OF this part of
the western hemisphere out of a
bit of mud brought from the
bottom Of the sea in the paw Of
a muskrat.
The earth was beautiful and
attracted all sorts of living
things, including monsters which
devoured everything that came
in their path. From the rock
drawings in North Central
Washington and legendary lore
Mr.. Cundy has pieced together
the story of the tragic end Of
one of these monsters through
the strategy of a smart coyote.
One of the monsters roamed
the Yakima country. He was so
large that his footballs made the
earth tremble. He devoured
everything in his psth-men,
women and children and other
animals, and great quantities OF
bunchgrass of which he was par
ticularly fond.
Every means to exterminate
the brute had failed until one
day the coyote thought of a
plan. Knowing the beasts fond
ness for bunch grass, the coyote
gathered a great quantity of the
choicest bunch grass he could,
rolled it into a ball and worked
his way into the center.
BY and by the beast came
along roaring and leaving
devastation along his trail.
When he sighted the luscious
ball of bunch grass he swal-
lowed it at one gulp, with
the coyote inside.
When the ball stopped rolling
in the beasts stomach, the coy
ote worked his way out of his
grass nest and found himself in
what appeared to be a great
dark cavern. Taking flint
which he had the foresight to
provide, he struck a light and
discovered a number of animals
and other inhabitants of the
earth lying around in a semi
conscious state.
Looking about he also discov-
cred a great pulsating object
which he found to be the beasts
heart. Just then the tickling in
side caused the beast to cough,
the force of which threw the
coyote violently from one side to
the other in the beasts stomach.
That made the coyote furi-
Gus, and taking his flint
knife he hurled II at the
beasts heart. His aim WAS
good but unfortunately just
as he let 20 the knife his
foot slipped. That decreased
the force of the blow and
the knife barely penetrated
the outside wall of the great

NEW DEALERS ARE
LOOKING FOR JOBS

Key New Workers note in
tensified efforts by government
officials and employees to land
jobs in private industry.
In part this is due to a grow
ing belief that the Roosevelt
regime is doomed to defeat in
the 1910 election. which would
of course foreshadow general
housekeeping in Washington.
Moreover, many of the appli-
cants plainly feel that President
Roosevelt has set his course to
the left and will stick to it. They
therefore figure they have a
better chance to make private
connections now than they will
have when government-business
hostility gets still hotter.

RADIO PRIEST IS
 AGAIN ATTACKED
Rev. Gregory Feige, For. mer FOrdham Prof., Dis-
 putes His Rights

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 30- (UP)-The Rev. Charles D. Cough lin, Detroit radio priest, does not represent the Roman Catholic church in his writings and broad casts, former Fordham university philosophy professor told the Will liamstown Institute of human rela- tions last night.
 Addressing forum on propagan- da, the Rev. Gregory Feige of New ton, N. J., a Catholic priest, said the problem" was one for the radio priests ecclesiastical superior.
 '"The question is how can a church founded in justice and char ity permit its official representative to go contrary to these principles of justice and charity" said Father Feige, member of the committee of Catholics for human rights.
 "The direct answer is that he is not an official representative of the church when he speaks over the ra- dio or writes in that paper that goes under the incongruous name of So- cial Justice, for the reason that his superior has stated more than once he has given no approval"
 Asked why the superior did not "do anything about it." he said: T don't know"

GRIZZLY BEARS
 ADD TO HEAT
Ickes in Center of Hot Debate Concerning
 Their Welfare
BY FRED BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, August 30 = tUP)-
 Three government agencies were involved today in a hot debate over benefits of the New Deal to Alaska brown and grizzly bears.
 The dispute has been simmering for monthS-evel since Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes made St.. Louis speech declaring that the bears are being exterminated and demanding for them share in the more abundant life.
 Ickes spoke for the National Parks Service, an interior depart ment agency. Rebuttal was by the Agriculture Departments Forest Service and Biological Survey. Mat ters were complicated when the survey was transferred to Ickes' jurisdiction.
 All Agencies Interested
 All three agencies have hand in administering affairs concerning the Alaska bears. For a time they threatened to engage in public debate through press releases issued through their publicity offices.
 Now, although the public isn't being let in on it, there still is . considerable amount of growing going on. The reorganization which made brothers" of the Biological Survey and the National Parks Service made 1t even more of fam lily quarrel.
 The furore was raised by Ickes' assertion that "the mightiest man. mals on the American continent (brown and grizzly bears) are head ed straight for extermination" un- less the government affords them additional protection.
 Some people in Alaska dislike these bears because they eat sal- mon without using 8 can opener" Ickes said. 50 in Alaska they are killing off the bears just as they are killing off the American eagle. Civ- ilized man is exterminating every thing as big as a rabbit" Wildlife Expert Speaks Up Dr. H. L. Shantz, chief of the wildlife management division of the Forest Service, retorted that a care- fully worked out game management plan is protecting the bears and that there is no danger of their extermtnation."
 He quoted 8 bear census showing 4,500 brown grizzly bears on the Chugach and Tongass National Forests in Alaska. Tn addition, he said, there are 6.700 blach bear, 36,400 Sitka deer and 5,850 noun tain goats in the forest.
 Frank Dufresne, executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission entered the fray in support of the Biological Surveys contention that the brown and grizzly bears in Alaska "are holding their own"
 He said the bears are amply pro- tected from hunters on $500 ,00O acres of "safe range" in Alaska and that in recent years "there has been a preceptible change for the better in the brown and grizzly bear popu- lation.
 The survey quoted from reports of six wildlife agents in Alaska in contending that Ickes' didn't know what he was talking about. Now that Ickes is their boss they are wondering if they haven't been caught in bear trap of their own fashioning.
