Several of Yellowstone Here Sent to Hollywood
(By Science Service)
Yellow-love Park, Dec. 12.-Sixteen of the 86 surplus bioshaper that were extracted from the Yellow-love hound that died on July 30 will join to join the movies. The Yellow-love bison have often been filmed on their native health, and during the present season performed a beading role in the "Lady and the Tramp" and "classy film," the "Thunderbird Herd." The contingent now bound for Hollywood will be active in completing this feature. When this has been released, it will be released on Catalina Island.
The animals sent out, from the park went to municipalities for its most part, but some went to game preserves and forests, and a few to private estates. The largest pain shinned went to Flo Ziegfeld.
The bison herd in Yellowstone park started in 1902, with 21 animals; 18 rows from the Allard barn of Western Montana and three bulls from the Gieldt herd of Texas. They were also herd members of the rambedger 780 on August 1. There were 120 calves this spring, and 106 in the spring of 1923. ■

Newly Discovered Cave to Be Made Into Park
Washington Dec. 12 - Discovery of a natural cave in Puget county, Colorado, has led to the withdrawal of a $30 million contract on a $290 million tract of land when the Secretary of the Interior is seeking to hire a geologist to map and measure an international area.
The newly observed cave, located 28 miles from Fairplay, while not fully explored, is believed to possess scenic attraction of more than local interest. In recommending the withdrawal of the truct to the president the Secretary of the Interior announced that the cave will be exhumed in 2015. It has two hundred acres of the truct are embedded in an abandoned homestead entry when it was reverted to the public domain.
Hawaiian Government Urges U.S. To Accept Foreign Born Citizens
Governor of Islands Protests Against Attitude Toward Inhabitants
(United States)
Washington, Dec. 12—Recognition of the right of American citizens born in the Territory of Hawaii to pass without interference from Hawaii to any other part of the United States will be urged upon the American government to declare in his annual report guided to the secretary of the inviern
There are thousands of Orientals in Hawaii who, having been born there, are technically American citizens but who have not been allowed in the part to migrate to the mainland of the United States. The bureau of immigration has issued a legal notice caused by congress to bar the immigration of Orientals born in Hawaii to this country.
The Hawaiian governor's report points out that this restraint is regarded by American citizens of Original government as discrimination.
General health and industrial conditions in Hawaii have been satisfactory throughout the year, the report said. The two largest industries—diesel and agriculture—the largest crop on record, and the products have been sold at fair prices.
The total trade between the Territory of Hawaii and the mainland of the United States amounted to $178,000,000. The mainland markets amounting to $192,000,000 and bought from the mainland centers products valued at $890,000,000. Hawaii's trade with foreign countries amounted to $157,556.
Birds War on Cotton Foes
Fiit Prizes Boll Weevil and Grub as Choice Diet
(By Science Services)
Washington, Dec. 12. — Winter tourists from the North destroy the bell seedel and white grape, two currants and cherries from the canon crop, and should, therefore, be gregarded by the farmers. The common pink, a bird that goes south during the winter months, prizes the sweetel and the grab as choice bits of fruit.
He is, moreover, the only species of winter bird that an active beehive to the farmer. Regardless of trai- tices, the United States Department of Agriculture has proved that other bees can help help a hindrance to the farmers.
The stomachs of snow hummings and long spurs, common winter birds, show that their diet consists almost entirely of weed seeds. While this is a step in the direction of help they cannot afford enough to feed on the plant's sap, the leaves are, however, vindicated by the charge of eating fresh, green buds.
Coolidge Adopts a New Policy in Visiting Cities
Washington, Dec. 12—Prep-issuing Coolidge will follow a geographical policy with respect to accepting invitations to visit cities away from the capital during his administration. If he can avoid it, no city except perhaps New York, will see him more than once during the next four years. The president is well aware that a presidential event for any city, and he wants all to have a fair chance, according to information secured here today.
Invitations, therefore, are in order from cities where the president has not already visited.

Baseball Pitcher Again Given Chance When Fans Grow Tired of Long Game and Low Score
By Henry L. Farrell
(United Press Sports Editor)
New York, Dec. 12.-Official batting averages for the American League indicate that the efforts of the rule makers to help the pitchers are meeting with some success. Perhaps the lively bad, which produced such a spree of hitting in the most recent season, or it may be that the compromise on the hitting rules helped the pitchers and made it harder for the batters.
Most of the junior leagues club owners view baseball from a commercial standpoint. With big investments of money represented in bibbied parks and fancy piiced players with large salaries, the clubs owners cannot be blamed too much for watching the card register.
Baseball Changes With Public Baseball, unlike the game of boxing, has been kept consistently to the favor and popularity of the public by changing its style to meet a changing interest in the game. The rules of boxing never have been changed to keep up fully with the chanown of changing generations. Baseball has done well in supplying just what the public seemed to want in the way of baseball.
In the old days, a tight pitchers battle with a low score was the favorite style of baseball. Great pitchers used the premium is placed on batting. Fast base running elicited because a vowel and major league manager stressed the value of a fast attack. Base compulsions made the great pitchers and great batters.
When the popular style of baseball turned to a hitting game, the rule makers had to impose a handcock on pitching so that it would be easier for the batter. The spiritual war barred and rules were passed against the use of any foreign substance on the ball.
Ruth Made Slugging Popular
Who Bate Ruth came along we made popular the slugging, slugging style of attack, the crowds flocked to games in which there was promise of a home run.
French Titles May Be Denied Rich Yankees
Paris, Dec. 12 — French titles of robility will no longer be official, recognized if a bill now before the Chamber of Deputies, presented by the Ministry of Justice, becomes law, measure will probably be successful.
The bill would prohibit the mention of titles of mobility in "public documents, and would inflict a penalty upon state officials who fail to conform with the decree. This means that the France aristocracy will, in the eyes of the state, be no more than simple citizens. Under the law to more American girls will be able to marry me, I am Clooney, and become a public officer who will have to be satisfied with a mere "sun drama."
The annual Christmas party given by the University Women's Club for the men of the faculty will be given Friday evening, Dec. 12.
It is the case of acquiring a title that threatens to deflect the system. The moviemakers rides manage to buy a large share of the public's a social point of view, although most of them are in the gold briefs' cause. There are many more in the very much a perilous factor.
The University orchestra will give its annual concert Jan. 29, Members of the orchestra have already begun rehearsal practice for the event.
Titles of nobility are not conferred by the Republic and one government newspaper has suggested that the old monarch's name is no more noble than the new.
The party will be held in Administration building instead of in Robinson gymnasium as previously planned.
"If every person who is playing in the organization will come out and help, we can put over a concert that will be a credit to the University," said Dana Wagner of Fine Arts. We are at present need of someone to have a bus trombone and two drummers would aid greatly in balancing the harmony." The business office advises them that each ticket will admit to the concert.

A very interesting program has been prepared by the social committee of which Mrs. H. W. Arant is chairman.
But it was difficult to create a batter who could sham the ball out of the lut when the Ruth craze for home runs couldn't be satisfied, and could couldn't be saddled with any airtight handicaps and the batters couldn' t have it made easier for them to dull. The magnates found the solution in a lively ball which would go "after".
Of course, there were victories denials that the ball had been changed. The specifications were the name the magnets said, but the ball and more resiliency, because better bites for the cover and better yarn for the inside had been found available after the war.
Change in Ball Denied
Ball players, however, maintained that the ball was a "rabbit." Infielders said they were forced in self-defense to play back on the grass and outfielders said they played fewer deeper for known better balls. Then the defense was such an increase in hitting and slugging that the public tired of high score games and long drawn out contests with a parade of pitchers to the box. The old fascination of the home run was destroyed when batters' agged around touching every base on a little pop fly that dropped into the crowd, so it would have been a bombing catch on any regulation field.
Averages Show Change
The averages for the 1924 season are evidence that something must have been done last season to decrease the slugging and get the back to a more normal standard. The team defeated the Innisfree and Bib Falk were the only prominent hitters who were able to better their 1923 matches, while established stars as Harry Hellman, Tey Cobb and Tris Speaker fell under their averages for the previous season. Witt, Pipp, Schang and Ward four of the Yankees, fell below the averages for the first time — a team that bit .200 as a team.
The pitching wasn't so much better than it was in the previous season. Perhaps it wasn't as good. But it wasn't as bad either, because he has been a difference in the ball.
Prize for Best Incident
Stories of Personal Heroism in Athletics Count
Clarence L. Brown, A. B. 90, University of Tennessee, will give a prize of $100 to the person who will send him a story of the most dramatic incident which has occurred during any intercollegiate athletic contest. The prize is the amount of personal heroism which was made to help the team's team win.
Mr. Brown is making a motion picture of the book, "The Plastic Ape," by Perry Marks and will make more of it in the production of the picture.
"The story need not be in any literary form," Mr. Brown said. "I just type out the idea and keep it within five hundred words."
The entry must be mailled before Dec. 20, and the winner will receive his reward before Jan. 1, 1923. The entry may be submitted to L. Brown, Universal City, Calif.
Instructors Welcome Cross-Word Puzzles
The cross-word puzzle has been welcomed by instructors Harold F. L Cook and John C. Mosher of the English department at Northwestern, who have used it to stimulate and as an aid in improving the student's vocabulary. Prof. Robert Root of the English department at Princeton has acknowledged a willingness to accept an original cross-word puzzle, but he provides it is difficult enough to be hard as part of the final examination. Warmer Fite, instructor in psychology in the same university, has offered a prize for the best cross-word puzzle and states that such a problem would be of much psychological value.
New Type Yellow Dahlias Shown in Great Britain
(By Science Service)
London, Dec. 12—Some exceptional new types of dahlias produced during the past year in Great Britain and Ireland were on exhibition at the recent National Dahlia Show. A number of these were vivid golden yellow, a color which it has been considered rather difficult to produce in dahlias whose basic colors are white or purple. The latter was ported, was the Starlet Queen, a vivid scarlet with a ring of yellow petals in the center.
