The teeth of bears agree with
those of the true dog in that there
are two pairs of molars in the upper
jaw and three pairs in the lower
jaw, but the shape of the molars
is very different from that of
canine teeth. The crowns are fiat
and broad and used for grinding.
Those in the upper jaw are square
or oblong, while those found in the
upper jaw of the dog are triangular.
Vegeation, insects, especially ants
and wild honey bees, and fruit ap-
peal to the appetite and needs of
the bears. Fish are enjoyed when
possible to catch. Small animals
are killed when hunger must be
satisfied.
AS bears have such a wide
geographical distribution, it is pos
sible for us to see many of them
as guests in the city parks where
ZOOS are maintained. They are
easily tanned when taken in their
early youth. though they have no
intention of hurting you, their play
tul overtures may prove fatal when
administered by a full-grown bear.
Some of them have bad dispositions.
Many of them recognize your feeling
toward them and show no signs
of fear or concern. This, of course,
Is not true of the mother whose
twins may be close by. At this
time she has no love in her makeup
for anyone else but her small and
dependent offspring.
The Malayan bear is small ami
NAL, wellmarked and easily recog-
nized by the small round ears
covered with white hairs. It is also
blessed with longer tongue than
its cousins, and it has a rather pug
nose that gives to its owner a
roguish appearance, when meeting
you face to face.
The fur coat is course and not SO
long as you will find in other
cousins, and 1t is rather somber, al
most black, with some flecks Of
brown in 1t. There is q white or
orange-colored band on the chest.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

The bears are so very different
from all other carnivores that it
is not at all difficult to recognize
them and place them at once in the
group in which they belong. Actu-
ally there is lot of difference
when you go into the matter
scientifically, but we are looking
for reliable points upon which to
to make a quick though unerring
Identification.
They are without exception built
along heavy and massive lines.
Their legs are short and thick
and their tails extremely abbrevi-
ated. They walk on the whole sole
of the foot and each toe is equipped
with a powerful nail or claw. There
is rather clear resemblance of the
frontprint made by the bear to that
made by man. The claws are valu-
able for digging and they cannot
be retracted. AS walker the bear
lacks grace even though his gait
is measured and slow. AS a runner
he is joke and sort of rolls from
side to side when any speed is at
tempted.

view of the country, as all bears
do because of their poor vision,
this color effect is seen clearly
and contrasts we'll with the coat
color.
This little bear is excessively fond
of honey and the long claws soon
clear away the dead wood in the
hollow trees where the bees have
worked so hard to store their winter
supply. Stings and angry swarming
avail nothing; loudly buzzing nectar
hoarders are merely gathered to-
gether in the large fist and pushed
into the wide mouth dripping with

STORAGE TANK
PERMIT ISSUED

Building permits were issued to-
day TO the Maxwell Petroleum
corporation for another million
gallon storage tank. The new tank
will cost S14 500 and will be built
by the Nelson Boiler Works, en-
ploying Tacoma labor. Work will
be started Immediately, H. d. Max
well. president of the Maxwell
Petroleum corporation, said. This
additional tank will make the Max
well corporations storage capacity
Of five million gallons on the Ia
coma waterfront the largest of
any oil company operating in Ia
coma.
The Maxwell corporation started
business here four years ago and
since that time business has grown
to the point of making Unnecessary
to have additional storage facilities.
Mr.. Maxwell said. The Maxwell
plant il situated on Alexander ave.
and fills its tanks from tankers
which land right at the Maxwell
docks.
Demand for Maxwell gasoline
and other petroleum products has
become 20 great that this new
storage capacity became neces-
sary," said Maxwell today. Dis
tribution of Maxwell products is
continuing all over Washington and
Tacoma Ii the headquarters for
the company and 1t was vital to
have more storage space 30 that
we might meet this demand and
accordingly the contracts have
been signed with the Nelson Boiler
company to install this new stor-
age tank with the greatest possible
speed. All of the tanks will be
built in Tacoma by Tacoma labor
and we plan to have them In use
within the next few weeks. When
we started in business here four
years ago we obtained sufficient
ground to meet the necessities of
expansion. However. the growth
has bcen far more rapid than we
even predicted at that time and
the outlook for greater business in
the future Is excellent"
