YELLOWSTONE PARK PREY OF VANDALS Tourists Still Persist in Leaving Their Marks. Yellowstone Park, Mont. The "fools faces" were gone long ago, but their names still adorn public places here, along with penciled poetry, tax tokens and marks of vandalism. Visitors annually enter the park, try to get their names in as many different places as possible, throw logs in the geysers to see them blow up, and take pieces of rare formations for the mantlepieces back home. Names with the date 1880 still may be seen beneath the thin crusts of geyserite nature uses to hide her shame, many of them in the most beautiful formations of the valley. In some cases, entire geyser cones have disappeared, blown out by a load cf rock or logs tossed in to amuse the tourist who demands action, or taken home in small chunks to prove to the neighbors that "we really were there." Vandalism is nothing new. As early as 1873, one year after appointment of N. P. Langford as first park superintendent, it had become objectionable. "The parapets of sinter of the Bee Hive,' he wrote to the then secretary of the interior, have been much defaced by visitors to the park." A description typical of todays vandals was written by Capt. William Ludlow of the United States army engineers more than 50 years ago. "The only blemishes on this artistic handiwork," he wrote, "have been occasioned by the rude hand of man. The ornamental work about the crater and pools of Faithful had been broken and defaced in the most prominent places by visitors and pebbles were inscribed in pencil with the names of the most undistinguished persons. Such practices should be stopped at once. That was more than a half century ago, and the practices haven't been stopped yet. Chessmen of 4,000 B. C. Are Uncovered in Irak A collection of chessmen has been uncovered in northern Irak by a joint expedition of the University of Pennsylvania museum and the American School of Oriental Research in Bagdad. A report from the archeologists said small terra Philadelphia. 6,000-year-o- ld cotta gaining pieces, shaped like human figures and rcrcmbling closely some of those used in various stages of the development of chess, were found in the ancient city of Tepe Gawra, scene of extensive excavations since its discovery in 1927. The chessmen were uncovered on a level of the city which was built in the period, dating from the time of southern Mesopotamias earliest settlements, archeologists reported. Dr. E. A. Speiser, director of the Bagdad school and professor of Semitics at the university here, who discovered the site of the ancient city, said the Tepe Gawra gaming pieces were the first indication that chess, or its prototype, provided diversion for the prehistoric Mesopotamians of about 4, GOO B. C. U. S. SAILORS FIRST ON CANTON ISLAND May Figure in Settlement of Disputed Ownership. Boston. Thanks to the shipwreck of a Yankee whaling captain and his crew of 32 more than 80 years ago, the United States may win possession of a tiny but strategically located island in mid-Pacifi- c. Great Britains claim to Canton island for an airplane base is contested by the United States on grounds the island was discovered by Capt. Andrew Johnson Wing in 1E54. when his .vessel foundered on its coral reefs. n Details of thc shipwreck and tl crew's row back to civilization were recalled by Horace Guild, Boston law-jt- r and grandson of the skipper, in an interview: "It was on August 10, 1852, that Capn Wing end his crew set sail from New Bedford in the Canton for whaling in the north Atlantic and Pacific," Guild said.

An era of bright new colors for automobiles, furniture, and women's shoes was predicted by Herbert L. Wampner, research chemist of Terre Haute, Ind. Wampner described a revolutionary process of preparing lacquer at the final session of the ninety-fiftmeeting of the American Chemical society. "The cost of applying a lacquer finish to an automobile will be cut the chemist said. by The driver who tires of a wine colored car can have it changed into a sporty cream at an almost negligible cost. The housewife who likes to dabble with paints and give her furniture a gay tone will find a good grade of lacquer on the market at a h one-third- low ," price." The new lacquer is cheaper, easier, and quicker to apply, more durable, and retains its luster longer, Wampner said. To Attempt to Restock Only U. S. Caribou Herd Ten caribou Baudetle, Minn.' calves from northern Canada are to be brought to northern Minnesota in an attempt to restock the states caribou herd, the only one remaining in the United States. The Minnesota herd, now including several old animals, is contained in an enclosure surrounded by 16 miles of fence. Oldest Boat Done London. Said to be the oldest steamer in the world, a 129-to- n English paddle boat is scheduled to be broken up after 92 years service. During the World war, the vessel, Premier, served as a British rjavy launch. 4,000-mil- e 1 did learn from him, however, in ing on the work, a large part that the men were rationed to half of earn which has been supplied by public a pint of water nnd a half a sea spirited people in the United States. biscuit a as as the long providay sions lasted. It was not until May 15 IS days after they left Canton island that the weary sailors arrived at Tinian island in the Ladrones. They had rowed 4,000 miles and had not lost a single man. The crew's reception at Tinian was distinctly hostile, however. The Pacific at that time was infested with pirates and the Spanish authorities doubted the ragged, bearded sailors' claim that they were shipwrecked Americans, Guild said. The authorities permitted them to remain on the island less than 24 hours, only long enough to take on fresh water and coconuts. Then once again they set off in their whaleboats. Four days later they reached Guam and their journey ended. Captain Wing continued on to Hong Kong and shipped buck to the United States. New Weapon Is Tested Being by Army Anti-Tan- k Now York. A new 37 mm. antitank gun, which fires a shell at such a velocity that it can penetrate more than an inch of armor at more than 1,000 yards, is now being tested by the army.

RED MEN ARE GIVEN NEW DUAL GY U. S. New Trade Regulations Guard Against Exploitation. Window Rock, Ariz. Indians now have a new deal under special regulations governing trade with Navajo, Zuni and llopi reservations recently drawn in Washington. The draft, approved by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickcs and John Collier, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, is cited by E. R. Fryer, Navajo service superintendent, as an anr.vor to those who would attempt to discredit Collier's work. The regulations, which observers say give the Indians the squarect deal they ever have had from the white man, are designed to prevent exploitation of the Indians through trade channels. Breaches are covered by severe penalties, including fines and prison terms for offenders. Main point of the 23 rules enacted to protect the Indians is a regulation allowing only government employees to trade with the red men. Traders are directly responsible to Collier for entire operation of trading pasts, Fryer said. No licensed traders are permitted to grant or donate money or goods for the performance of any tribal dance or ceremony. All payments to Indians for products or labor must be made in United States cur- -' rency or in credit on traders' books,, at option of the Indian, it was decided. All government checks accepted by traders must be made in cash,; merchandise or credit to the full value of the check. Acceptance will be at option of the Indians In : the superintendent said. ex-' which will be Trading fees, acted yearly for the privilege of conducting traffic with the tribes,: will be used to enforce regulations.; Gambling devices and gambling; of any sort is prohibited in traders'; stores, Fryer said.
