Lonely White Bear Offers
Comfortable Home to Mate
VICTORIA, Feb. 28.—An attempt
is to be made to capture alive a mate
for Ursus Kermodei, a lonely white
bear, the only one of its species
known to be in eapti/ity now housed
in a new $1,000 home of *ts own on
Beacon Hill. A report has been re
ceived from Princess Royal Island, on
the Northwest British Columbia coast
that bears of the same species are
at large there. Smaller than the
polar bears, they have a limited habi
tat, and, owing to the isolated and
rugged character of the islands, it
is almost impossible to capture the
animals alive.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION
SERIOUS HANDICAP
TO ELECTRIC RAILWAY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—A call to
the 43,000,000 daily electric railway
riders of the United States to rise
up and demand traffic congestion re
lief was sounded today by J. N. Shan
uahan, president of the American
Railway Association. Addressing his
organization in convention here, he
declared failure to limit and pro
hibit parking and to restrict traffic
to certain channels, was playing ha
voc with electric railway and bus
schedules. Four-fifths of all per
sons who ride are patrons of electric
railway company owned cars or bus
es, and practically all of them are be
ing delayed by a small minority of
riders in other vehicles, he insisted.
Mr. Shannalia nexplained that he
was not seeking to carry persons not
owning motor cars against owner?.
Many car riders are motor car own
ers, who, beset by traffic congestion
troubles, are using electric cars and
buses.
“Traffic congestion is unspeakable.
Despite the best efforts of local trans
portation companies to provide ser
vice, it is virtually impossible nowa
days, by reason of traffic congestion,
to maintain any respectable sched
ules in our city streets. The aver
age running time of an electric car
or bus should be from 10 to 12 miles
an hour, and yet in some cities it is
impossible, in the downtown sections,
to move at a greater rate of speed
than two miles an hour in any sort of
vehicle.
“The majority does not rule in the
case of traffic congestion Oftentimes
one person in a single vehicle will
get in front of a car and delay 60
persons in it merely by occupying
the track. Again, an unoccupied ve
hicle will be parked in such a posi
tion that it will stop or slow up a ve
hicle containing 60 persons.
“The traffic problem is not impos
sible of solution, though it admitted
ly is difficult. For example, there
are two major steps which, if taken
would aid very much.
“First: Cease using the streets for
storage. They were built to be used
as passageways, and not as garages.
Some people will, of coui’se, resent
not being permitted to store their
cars all day long in the streets, but
do not forget that wrhen you offend
one person by enforcing a no parking
regulation, you please several hund
red others whose ride has been ac
celerated by it.
“Second: Unscramble traffic. Es
tablish regular lanes of travel for the
separate lines of traffic and compel
the different conveyances to stick
to their lanes. Let the street car
run unimpeded on its rails and make
it a misdemeanor, as has been done
in Cleveland and Philadelphia, for
any vehicle to get in front of it.
Give buses and passenger automo
biles the right of way on certain
streets or parts of streets. Set aside
certain streets for trucks and other
heavy vehicles. We do not so much
need new streets as the complete
use of those we now have.”
Mr. Shannahan announced also that
in cooperation with Secretary Hoov
er’s accident prevention movement,
the electric railway idustry is start
ing a nation-wide advertising poster
campaign. He said that accidents
to passengers on cars were being re
duced, but that accidents due to oth
er vehicles striking electric cars and
alighting passengers were increasing.
Girls of Lisbon Shatter
Traditions of Old Times
LISBON, Feb. 28.—The women of
Portugal slowly are emerging from
the almost Mooi’ish seclusion in
which they have lived for so long, and
the first thing they do, under the
new freedom, is to go to work. The
shops and offices of Lisbon are be
sieged these days by girls eager to
follow in the footsteps of their sis
ters in other countries and earn their
own livings.
Much has to be overcome by these
Lisbon girls. There was the resis
tance and ill-will of the masculine ele
ment, grounded in the precedent pf
many centuries, and a large group
of minor state officials, in fear of
their own jobs, voiced violent oppo
sition.
In the schools also Portuguese
girls have won their victories. They
have exploded old traditions and to
day are taking their places on the
benches along with their brothers.
NATIONAL PRISON
MRS. BOOTH TO ATTEND INTER
KEYSTONE VIEW CO NEW YORK
Mrs. Maud Booth, one of the found
ers of the Volunteers of America, who
has been designated by Governor A1
Smith of New York and President
Coolidge as the American representa
tive to the International Prison Con
ference to be held in London next
year. Mrs. Booth is recognized every
where as one of the greatest authori
ties on reform and it is due to her
that prisons throughout the United
States have changed for the better in
the treatment of inmates.
Story Keeps You On
Toes With Suspense
The girl stared out of the barren
window of her prison cell with un
seeing eyes. Her thoughts were on
the morrow. With her back bared
she was to be flogged in public—
whipped like a cur with thousands
of curious eyes looking on.
Beside her was a youth who tried
to console and help her, despite the
fact that the dawn would witness
his death before a firing squad. But
all his thoughts were for the maiden.
She was responsible for his predicu
ment, but he had forgotten that fact
in his great love and sympathy for
her. Suddenly—
But we do not wish to spoil for
you one of the greatest dramatic mo
ments ever seen in a photoplay. The
denouement of this thrilling situa
tion can be seen in “The Dangerous
Maid,” tonight at the Liberty trea
tre. Constance Talmadge is the
star of this First National picture,
which is declared to be the finest
in which she has ever appeared. In
it she has a dramatic role, having
forsaken for once the comedy charac
terizations for which she is noted.
Conway Tearle appears as Miss
Talmadge’s leading man in the pro
duction.
Clock on Strike 158 Years
Now Strikes Hourly Again
LONDON, Feb. 28.—An old clock
that stopped working in 1767—158
years ago—recently was restarted
after a year's effort by a member of
the Admiralty staff. The clock is
about two hundred years old and
contains more than 600 parts which
weigh about one hundred pounds. It
is made of brass of such fine quality
that an ingot of it could be beatel al
most like gold leaf.
The clock was made by a carpen
ter named John Harrison for His
Majesty George II by order of the
Board of Longitude which appears to
have been an admiralty commission
appointed to superintend the instal
lation of chronometers and naviga
tion apparatus on the ships of the
British navy. The board gave Har
rison $1,250 for the job and he took
two years to make it. It is really
a clock within a clock, the smaller
one being wound every three and
three-quarter minutes by the larger
clock, which has to be wound every
day.
