Harrlshurg, Pa., Aug. 3 (IP)
The Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission has set itself up as a
clearing house for "true hunting
stories” and already has received
some weird stories out of the
state woods.
There’s the one about Ben Mc-
Cullough, Kittanning, a 260-
pound railroader, who, on .ap-
proaching a buck he had shot,
grabbed It by the- horns, when the
deer arose. The wrestling match
covered half an acre and cost
McCullough all his clothing be-
fore he plunged a hunting knife
into the buck to kill it.
A yarn about a deaf bear was
contributed by Charles Ernst, of
Mehoopany. This hunter said he
saw a bear among a grove of
beech trees contentedly munching
nuts. He fired and the animal
ducked to continue his feast.
Despite the shot, the bear con-
tinued eating undisturbed. Ernst
didn’t waste his next shot.

Mrs. 0. W. Roberts, of New-

Chicago, Aug. 3 CLP)—A study
to determine whether a system
of super highways costing $300,
000,000 would solve Chicago’s in-
creasinug traffic problems is be-
ing made under the direction of
Miller McClintock, director of the
street traffic research bureau of
Harvard University.
At the same time an investiga-
tion into the traffic accident prob-
lem in this city is being handled
by F. M. Kreml, former head of
the accident prevention bureau of
Evanston, 111. Both investigations
were authorized by the city coun-
cil upon the recommendation of
the committee on traffic and pub-
lic safety.
Some years . ago McClintock
made n similar survey, and from
Hie earlier report were evolved
most of the present traffic or-
dinances and regulations. In his
present survey McClintock will
deal with Iho engineering, finan-
cial and traffic problems of such
contemplated construction.
Chicago’s outer drive, which
skirls the business streets along
Hie north side and follows (lie
shore line, is a superhighway,
McClintock said. Its practicality
In handling excess traffic during
the morning and evening rush
hours Is demonstrated daily, lie
said, but he insisted that it would
have to lie proven that the roll-
teniplated f300.ii00.0oti super-high-
way const ruction was economically
necessary before the city would
embark < u such a program.
Haris, (IP)-^The featherweight
championship in hat3 has been
won this summer by Suzy W’hite’s
toque in black horse-hair, knit-
ted matt and shining green os-
preys. The ospreys flaunt their
fluffy feathers behind the right
ear and low at the neck as vi-
vaciously as a chorus girl giving
her final backward kick before
rushing, into the wings to wail
the encore.
A close runner-up in this bout
is Camille Roger’s white panama
trimmed with green cellophane
incrustations. It has a brim,
scalloped on one side, and set
up slightly on the crown In front.
A very flattering shape with the
cool green and white combina
tion that Is summer’s definite
earmark, It never faila to win
many rounds in any fashion ring.
And -in the children's ring the
little girl dress that stands cris-
ply in the center while the re-
feree counts ten over the lifeless
form of her nearest competitor
is in "toile Deauville” from
Catlllon-Mouly-Roussel. The frock
itself Is rose-colored with with
appliqued strips of pale green
(idle outlined in black as its
trimming, a soft bow in the
front of the little V neck is
charmingly placed for the inspira-
tion of flattery even in youth.
EL RENO MARKETS
Rio do Janeiro, Brazil, Aug. 3
(LP)—Recent promulgation of a
federal decree ordering religious
teaching in Brazilian schools has
resulted in a storm of protest,
according to reports.
One report from Sao Paulo
said that it was necessary to call
out emergency police squads in
order to disperse a parents' meet-
ing, convened in protest there.
Reports from otther districts
would indicate that the new de-
cree has received little better re-
ception.
Although this city has been
quiet and no protest made, It is
rumored that educational lead-
ers have Interviewed provisional.
President Vargas, suggesting that
he retract or, at least, revise the
law, so that its arbitrary terms
be ameliorated and the teaching
ot religion be made optional with
parents.
The law went into effect dur-
ing April.
