Mountain Lion
(Felis couguar)

abundant all over Eastern North
America. Civilization has driven
them back and has also killed of
so many of them that they are
becoming more and more scarce.
However, in the western part of
its range it still carries on and is
spoken of by many with hated
breath, as if it were the worst hunter
of the wood, roaming about, killing
for the Joy of doing so. This is
not true.
The mountain lion is an excel
lent tree climber, but it is a ground
hunter; its method being to creep
softly and slowly with infinite
patience until within striking dis
tance. Then one well-aimed pounce.
The victum may have an oppor-
tunity to utter a frightened, pier
cling scream and all is still.
In its woodland retreat the ami
NAL loves to find broad limb upon
which to recline and snooze. It will
fatten itself out on its chosen plat
form, often as high as so feet from
the ground and remain in deep
slumber with the hot sun beating
down upon it.
The babies are beautiful little
kittens. They have spotted coats
and crafty, cleaning yellow eyes.
Their fur is soft and the ground
color is tan decorated with brown
spots. They love to play in the old,
old fashion of kittens and chase
their tails around and around. Fine
exercise, and when they are tired
out from the exertion, they hunt
for their mother, enjoy nice, rich,
warm milk and loving protection
while they take their nap.
The little rascals soon creep after
small animals and birds and race
after any moving object for the
mere Joy of the chase. The small
but promising whiskers quiker with
delight as the wee hunter Sizes up
its prey. Even as small as these
mountain lion babies are when only
q few weeks old, they have sharp
claws which can make painful

Mutual Health Service
To Open in Two Weeks

Within two weeks the Medical
Society of the District will begin to
set up Mutual Health Service, the,
new prepayment plan for provid-
ing limited indemnity medical care
to the marginal income group in the
city.
This was learned today as Off
cials of the society said that addi-

members" of Mutual Health Serv-
ice. to comprise the medical staff
and controlling body.
AS soon as this staff is completed
within two weeks, the Medical So
ciety will take immediate steps to
start the service, it was announced.
Meantime a group of several spe-
cialists has submitted to the Medical
Society for approval a plan by
which they propose to set up a
diagnostic clinic, to provide dag
noses, but not medical care, to the
low income group at low fees. 1t
would be somewhat similar to a
plan now in operation at Johns

Smith Takes Issue
With Coal Operators
On Revision
Declares Small Group
Would Take Protection
From Industry
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
C. E. Smith, member Of the
Bituminous Coal Commission, took
issue yesterday with group of coal
operators who organized to seek
repeal of parts Of the Bituminous
Coal Act.
He said there always mas been a
small group of producers who are
basically opposed to elimination of
unfair practices.
The act, designed to rehabilitate
the industry, calls for minimum
price fixing and other regulation. A
committee of 81 operators contended
it had failed to achieve its purpose
Specifically. these operators de-
manded repeal of tax sections of the
act and of provisions restricting coal
delivery contracts to 30-day period
pending adoption of minimum
prices.
Group Waits to Strike.
Mr.. Smith, who said he spoke for
other members of the commission
declared the small group" he men
toned waited for the psychological
moment" to strike the blow that
would take from the industry the
protection for which the majority
have worked for years"
The commission spokesman ad-
dressed his statement to j. D. A
Morrow, president of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co., one of the largest producers
of soft coal. He declared Mr.. Nor
row was taking prominent part
in the movement to repeal the price
fixing and other provisions of the
act"
The operators, in their statement,
had declared:
I'VE have reluctantly come to the
conclusion that the objective sought
is impossible of practical attainment
under the price-fixing arrangement
which the Coal Act projected.
Our experiences in the price
fixing efforts to date lead us to con.
clude that it does not lie within
the capacity of the present Fedora
commission or any commission te
evolve and maintain a price system
that will be equitable to all con.
cerned and be workable and affore
profitable operation for the entire
industry"
Statement Held Inaccurate.
Mr.. Smith declared statements
that the commission has gotter
exactly nowhere to date were
slightly inaccurate. to put II
mildly He said that since origina,
minimum prices fixed by the COM
mission were declared void by the
Supreme Court year ago the COM
mission has modified and approved
for coordination purposes only. the
prices and regulations" of all but one
of its 81 district boards
Referring to the 30-day contract
provisions, he said the commission
has held that automatic renewal
clauses were not in violation of the
order.
The commissioner, replying te
assertions of operators that they lost
500 100000 in 1888. said that 'fol
years the capacity to produce Goa
has far exceeded demand. In such
buyers market coal prices have
always dropped =. Admins.
