YOSEMITE WILDS DANGEROUS FOR INEXPERIENCED By International News Service Yosemite, Cal.—The little learning that is dangerous everywhere is tiaught with a double peril In the precipitous wilds of Yosemite National ParkSuch is the succinct warning of Ranger James Lloyd to venturesome explorers of the fastnesses of the park, where two youths have narrowly escaped death and several others have had harrowing experiences In the past two years. According to Lloyd, training in Scout craft Is liable to encourage boys to take chances, to leave established trails and to cope with dangers that veteran rangers are loath to tackle. „ He cited the recent rescue of George Monheit, 13-year-old Piedmont school boy, found after three days of wandering back of Half Dome following his descent of a "tail-less” slide pronounced one of the “impossible" descents in the park by rangers. Trail Looks Easy Hours before Monheit was located rangers had figured about the course the boy had followed, based on the fact that from the cliff above the Nerced river and below Vernal falls Monheit would be able to see hikers and horse trains on the trail across the canyon. "It will look easy for him to get over there,’’ rangers said. “That's where we will fluid him.” Ranger Lloyd pointed out that the boy’s story after his rescue had borne out this prediction. He had seen people across the apparently narrow gap of the river chasm and had made his way down a slope with death lurking in every loose stone. A year or two ago, Lloyd said, another Boy Scout attempted to descend a 1.500 foot precipice by the Scout methuu of using a rope. The rope is tied so it can be shaken, off and used at a new point during the descent. This boy got half way down and could find no projection on which to tie his rope. There he stayed three days and nights, nearly perished from cold and hunger and was only rescued after 25 rangers had risked life along the brink of the cliff to rescue him. A ranger was lowered by a rope and the boy was hauled to safety. Experienced Required Lloyd aaesrted that years of experience are required to exiieriment with the’ real wilds of the Yosemite or other parks or mountain districts. The experience consisting chiefly of being able to Judge what is possible to do and what is either impossible or so dangerous of accomplishment as to be foolhardy. Even veterans lose their sense of direction in the mountain country on occasion, Lloyd pointed out. Also, he pointed out, distances and slopes are deceptive in appearance, heights are diminished by 'the contrasting bulk of mountains, and apparent trails often turn out to be shifting rock that will hurl the explorer down the slope, WORLD’S GREATEST SHOW POSITIVELY COMING '• Ab.' “ Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey To Bring Monster Sea Elephant 'And Other Big Features Yep, youngsters, it's really true!

Enoimous new displays have been introduced such as ninety zebras, camels and horses performing at one time on a mammoth pedestal. On a similar series of circular raised platforms thirty-two of the show's forty-three elephants dance, run and perform in unison with the topmost of the ponderous actors twenty feet above the ground.
