BEAR CLEANS OUT WALLACE McIVER CAMP

morning, and while we were away we had a visitor and from the amount he ate, a very hungry one. The things he couldn't eat or did not want, he destroyed. Pots and pans were bitten through and through( dishes were all broken, tables and chairs demolished.
 The bear couldn't get in the door at the cook shack, so he pull ed the side of the wall down, in cluding a big window. He cleaned out the cook shack. Then he found his dessert in the spring. Lois (my wife) had put around IS big cof- fee jars full of blue berries. The jars were under water but MT. Bruin found every one of them, broke them in half and cleaned out the berries Then he left but he wasn't satisfied
 Sunday or Sunday night he came back to get in our ware house, this time he merely pushed the door open. We had all our sup ply of groceries in there and boy did he go to town. He cleaned us out" He sampled every thing we had, even opened the canned goods, and the ones he didn't like he just bit through. He was es- i pecially fond of butter and dried eggs. You should have seen the butter tins after he finished with 1 them.
 Everything that he didn't eat ran together in the middle of the : floor. He cut himself seevral times on the cans, this just made him more destructive.
 The way he so quickly demol- ished everything shows he must be an experienced housebreaker | There was one place, the old iiioii .

 Monday night he came again, this big grizzly. Twice he had vis- ited our camp while we were gone, and practically demolished two buildings and eaten or ruined all our supply of groceries.
 But Monday night was a differ ent story. came back to town, after supplies and left MT. Ost there, ready for the bear.
 About 8 pm. the bear came back, the lights were on and the fire going, but he came up to the back of the warehouse, gave it real hard slap and proceeded to push in the wall, but he didn't finish that job-a slug from a Winchester rifle stopped him cold. MT. Ost was preparing to go to bed in that building, so all he did was raise up and shoot through the wall. The first shot hit him in the chest and went through, so he won't came back anymore or "clean anyone else out"
 He looked to weigh around 500 pounds or more. He had a reach of 9 feet from toe to toe and ap- parently was killer, as he was going right in, knowing a man was

come Wac in the army, has an

And in India, there was a blank

as heavy in war as in peace. Yet
in the 1912 famine, from among

Some new light on the old
problem of thumb-suckinq

are forever calling to the atten-
ton of the children-and their
parents that thumbsucking is a
bad habit.
Naughty little thumb ih the
mouth" Shame ON the dirty
little thumb "Take the thumb
out, dear, that's a good girl"
"Such a big boy, and he sucks
his thumb?'
Fortunately, for some children,
there are mothers who ignore
the thumbsucking and know how
to handle people who try to
shame their children because of
it. Removing the child's thumb
from his mouth deprives him of
a perfectly normal need.

thumb, use of mitten or splints

research findings.
While many primitive tribes
recognize the Importance of
sucking in infancy, in our mod.
ern so-called civilized society par.
ents' attitudes are apt to be
squamish about it, and infants are
often hurried over this stage.
This is mistake, for the In.
fants mouth serves as more than
one end of his digestive tract; its
vigorous use in sucking satisfies
some deep emotional needs.
IF an infants environment is
favorable for him Especially his
relationship to his mother); if he
is allowed to suck usually his

In many instances, however, the

Women Of world rally to fight
for peace and q better life
By MARY DOYLE SPRINGER


In a Montreal speech last week,
Eleanor Roosevelt declared =
"There is one right within the
hearts of all women = the right
to live without war"
That right to peace and the
good life is the great reason be-
hind the celebration on March
9Th which will mark international
Woman's day in every democratic
country of the world.
There is an anger in the heart
of a woman who has lost a child
or a husband in war that is not
matched by any other anger. 1t
is an exacting anger and is to
be reckoned with = it demands
an end to wars and it demands
that mankind show advances to-
ward freedom as a price for the
heartbreak of the wives and mo
theirs of the world.
" n
AN ADANIANT band of work
ing women and mothers marched
in tine cold through the streets
of New York's East Side on
March 9Th, 1908, demanding the
right of all women to vote. The
small flame struck on that day
grew into International Woman's
Day, nursed by four decades of
the struggles of women to gain
status as equal citizens and to
live at peace in a free world.
Rising out of misery and ILL.,
teracy through their free re.
public, the women of Spain
knew what it was to gain new
rights and then to lose them
again under the despOtic Fran
co rule - and La Pasionaria
cried out for all of them, ut is
better to die on your feet than
to live on your knees"
In England there were eighty
years of sporadic struggles for
women's rights, ending in 1907
when Emmeline Pankhurst led
hunger strikes and mass demon
strations which won women the
right to vote and serve in NUM-
cipal bodies. 1t was 1928 before
their voting privileges were equal
with those of men.

future of equality brought about
by their new surge into industry
and economic independence, their
feet planted in the American ira

THE WIVES and mothers of
Americas one million casualties
are heavy-hearted but the more
determined. Their determination
dates back to the suffrage fights
led by Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and SUI
san B. Anthony. Their sensitivity
to freedom is grounded in slavery
days when the suffragists joined
forces with abolitionists Harriet
Tubman and Sojourner Truth,
staunch in their belief that there
could not be freedom for some
without freedom for all.
And from the roots set down
by national women's movements
all over the world, there has
grown now a great single tree i
the Women's International Demo
cratic Federation. Mutual suffer
ings and aspirations, new and
speeded methods of communica-
tons, a worldwide will for peace
and plenty = all these brought |
the women of Al countries to-
gether for a meeting in Paris in
December of a year ago. Hen
rietta Buckmaster was among
those who went from the United
States and she wrote about it:
Every woman was needed and
no time could be wasted. Peace
did not grow through indiffer-
ence, and children's stunted
growth was not overcome through
wishful thinking. They wanted to
mention their losses, count care
fully our mutual gains, say plain
ly what tasks lay before the
world"
FATIMA MERANII was there
from Algeria, Yeh Nan from
China, Eugene Cotton of France,
Lucia Corti from Italy, the care
fully nameless Spanish Republi-
can women who dared to cross
the Franco border to attend the
conference, the unquenched
dream of free Spain still in
their eyes. And many, many
more.
They talked and planned and
gave birth to their international
organization, devoted to their
three major aims: peace and de-
mocracy, full equality for women,
improved child care and educa-
ton. Just last week their efforts
were crowned when the Women's
International Democratic Fedora
ton was granted consultative sta
tus to the United Nations Eco
nomic and Social Council.

bountifully. The jars were spark
ling and the tops shining, which
showed that the women had taken
advantage of their previous in

craft work was very attractive,
clean and neatly done. Many of the
garments and articles were made
from feed bags, large scraps and
old garments made over. The other
classes of products displayed show
ed variety and artistic abilities.
Some of the articles demonstrated
showed ingenuity on the part of
the housewives who had made CAD

home. Outstanding among these
articles was the "back rester," a
gadget so built as to support the
wet clothes to eliminate stopping.
