buihlrs.

the Berlin zoo a few months ago.
The twins had become the pets of
the elephant house, but since the
death of Mampe the other is incon
solable and refuses to eat.
Mampe died from stomach trouble
after a week’s illness, caused, the
veterinarians believe, by meat given
to it by some child.
Animal experts of the zoo have
found Indian elephants more hardy
and more adaptable to the diet which
a northern zoo affords than those
from Africa.
LEADERS START MOVEMENT
FOR LABOR PARTY IN JAPAN
LONDON, June 6.—(£>)— Kagawa
Toyohiko, a labor leader of Kobe,
Japan, arrived in London recently to
study the workings of the British
Labor party in Japan. Mr. Toyohiko
said the Socialist and Labor leaders
of Japan had combined in efforts to
further the movement and that while
the Japanese Labor Party would be
modeled after the British system it
would function in some ways along
the lines of the Social-Demicratic
party of Germany.
The new Japanese Labor party
will include, necessarily members of
the Japanese Federation of Labor
and the Socialist movement, the Ja
panese Fabian Society, consisting of
a small group of students and profes
sors, and peasants’ union. It is quite
likely, in tte opinion of Mr. Toyo
hiko, that the party wTill also include
a certain number of liberal members
belonging at present to the govern
ment and opposition parties.

THE PLAYTHING OF LIGHTNING
JUAN ACCEPTS VILLAGE HOMAGE
HAVANA, June 6.—(/P)—Juan Acos
ta Iznaga, a farmer living near Ciego
de Avila, Camaguey province is the
object of awe on the part of his
neighbors. Men step back when he
walks past them, and women make
the sign of the cross.
A few days ago Juan set out to
ride in the midst of a heavy rain
and electrical storm to the farm. A
bolt of lightning killed his horse and
knocked him unconscious.
With the first rays of the morning
sun farmers going to towu found the
apparently lifeless body. A rural car
penter was giving the finsihing touch
es to a rude coffin when a doctor
arrived. After a few minutes of med
ical attention Juan opened his eyes,
stood up and began talking. The
terrified farmers fled.

HEAVY SPRING RAINS
INCREASE HAZARD OF
FOREST FIRES, WEST
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 6.—
(/P)—Heavy spring rains, which make ,
two blades ot' grass grow where one
grew before, increase rather than de
crease the fire hazard to forests, al
though at the time of precipitation
and while the grass is green, the
danger is lessened, it is pointed out
by Paul G. Redington, United States
district forester for California.
Northern California, due to its
moist spring season, is a waving
field of luxuriant grass, but as the
dry, warm weather comes on an alert
eye must be maintained unless last
year’s disastrous fire record is to be
equalled, he said.
Southern California, deficient of
rainfall, will not have this dry grass
hazard, but if excessive dryness
should continue it too will present a
problem, the federal official declar
ed in commenting on the statement
that both excessive drought and ex
cessive rainfall bear fire menace.
Last year the government spent
$991,000 in California for fire preven
tion and protection. There were 2,
657 fires, of which 51 per cent were
man made. Of those caused by hu
man beings, 37 per cent were attrib
uted to smokers and 14 per cent to
campers. It was the worst year, Mr.
Redington stated, in California’s his
tory.
This year, profiting by a study of
the lessons of last year, the forest
service will use the airplane more
extensively, utilizing a federal appro
priation of $50,000 for this purpose.
Flying fields will be maintained in
the northern and southern parts of
the state; there will be a third field
in Oregon and a fourth service will
cooperate with the air service of the
army.
Portable gasoline pumps, hand
pumps which can be carried on a
person’s back, and flame throwers
for use in back-firing are articles
among the new apparatus developed
for fire fighting since last season.
The gasoline pumps will be used to
throw water on fires burning along i
the banks of a stream, theliand :
pumps to extinguish smouldering!
spots in trees above the reach of j
the fire fighter on the ground.
There will be 90 lookout stations,
situated on the tops of high .moun
tains or at strategic locations where
there is a broad vision. These look
outs will supplement the scout work
of aircraft.
FIVE BROTHERS WIN FAME
IN VARIETY OF ATHLETES
PIERRE, S. D., June (5.—(/P)—Five
brothers who have won lame in ath
letics give the Copper family of
Piere claim to distinction. Kenneth
Cooper, the oldest of the brothers,
after winning first places in rodeo
exhibitions thruout the northwest for
several seasons, went to the British
Empire Exposition at Wembley, Eng
land, with the American rodeo dele
gation last summer and proved him
self the outstanding artist of the
troupe. He repeated his triumps at
the Madison Square rodeo in New'
i York, and then turned to polo, being
a member last season of the Ak-Sar
Ben team of Omaha, Neb.
Norval, a young brother, was
deemed Kenneth’s equal in rodeo
competition until the latter eclipsed
him at the Wembley and Madison
Square Garden events, where both
were participants. Norval has a rec
ord of victories in state rodeo events.
Conrad is center on the University
of Minnesota football team and is
rated as one of the best centers in
the country. Also he is heavyweight
boxing champion of the University
of Minnesota, a title he has held
during twro of his three years in
school there.
Arthur, fourth of the Cooper broth
ers, was middleweight boxing cham
pion at the University of Minnesota
last year and is second ranking mid
dleweight boxer this year. Leslie,
the fifth, won mention last season
with the best high school football
players of South Dakota as center
for the Pierre high school team, and
made his debut this season as a
sprinter on the track team, with
creditable high school marks in the
dashes.
