With KILL, KILL, KILL rackâ€" ing its body, the animal mutilated the corpses. Smashing the bones to toothpick length and with Llood oozing from the open slits of the lifeless body, it shrieked a victory cry. â€" After pounding a victim into nothingness the eleâ€" phant often returned to the vloody battlefield and would comâ€" mence anew grinding the body into dust. He carried corpses long distances and threw them with terrific force into ravines and crevices. With the taste of fresh blood on its pink tongue, the beast thunâ€" dered through uther neighboring villages, knocking down Alimsy houses and killin= all thuse who came in its path. It killed 6 men in Bersoma, 4 in Gagned, 4 in Mardan and 3 in Sota. An old man with a withered limb, desperately crawied into an abandoned house. With a deterâ€" mined thrust of its highty trunk the animal crashed in the walls of the shack and then pulled the man out. The thickâ€"skinned beast cracked the black to the rocky sround. Then with tons of force it drove its tusk: tiu:)ug_h“l-fll‘: man‘s stomach. The elephant craved freedom. with its huge incisors gleaming it charged into a neighboring vilâ€" lage. The population scattered. With a limâ€"shaking roar it poundâ€" ed through the small centre. On the hot, dry summer evenâ€" ings tigers prowled the outskirts of villages, hungrily waiting to jump And kill unwary humans. it was just such a night on April 8, 1886 that a halfâ€"crazed elephant crusched and killed 17 humans in the district of Sultan. A skinny, hollowâ€"cheeked black was prodding the lazy beast with a pointed spear while riding it bareback. With a sudden flash of its tiny eyes the animal bucked the native from its back and flung nim into a nearby hollow. Late nineteenth century India was a land of thirty deserts, over populated _ villages and â€" huge mountains scraping the very gates of Heaven. A bloodâ€"thirsty varieâ€" ty of animals prowled through the sticky jungles. Snakes circled bamboo trees and watched with greedy eyes the passage of lions, wolves and herds of wild eleâ€" phants. | DATELINE | April 8, 1886 . Many a fascinating tale has been scribbled upon the crumpled pages in the dusty book of history about the hypnotizing land of Inâ€" dia. A crowded land of rajahs and slaves, rubies and opium. Being the cause of forest fires has gone on too long without proper punishment. Hand out a few stiff jail terms, fines or both and see how quickly some of the careless individuals smarten up. Surely the nonense of letting these people get away with devasâ€" tating our forest resources has gone far enough with proper and severe punishment. An apprehended arsonist is given a jail sentence, why not mete out the same type of punishment to these fools who through carelessness and lack of responsibility,; are responsible for millions of trees becoming bonfires each year. The attitude of people who will leave fires burning in the bush, burn off sections on a windy day or throw away a lighted cigarette, seems to be a sure indication that many of our people have not d@eveloped mentally. Contrary to some opinion, it is much easier to identify the perâ€" son responsible for setting a forest fire than it is to find the person who sets fire to your house. Tuere are so few people in the bush areas and these must hav travel permits before being allowed to go into the bush. The hundreds and sometimes thousands of forest fires that rage through Canadian forests, are all the work of about 4,000 irresponsiâ€" bles, who are just as much arsonists as are those who set fire to homes and businesses to see them burn.

In 1919, after collecting $95,000 in dividends, she sold her $100 interest in the company to the Ford family for $260,000. The tale of Mrs. Hauss‘ $100 and how it grew is one of the many colorful Ford stories that will be recalled by automobile men during the anniversary celeâ€" brations.

In 1903, when Ford Motor Company opened for business in a barnâ€"like building on Mack Avenue in Detroit, the automoâ€" bile was an expensive pla{{thin; of a few wealthy families. Henry Ford decided to make a car that enyone could buy and keep in reâ€" pair, a car designed for rough roads and hard work as well as for Sunday driving. This was the rugged and simple Model T.

His tremendous manufacturing plant at the Rouge, the biggest in the world, was in his home town, too. The Rouge, with 60,000 workers and a daily payroll of $1,250,000, was modernized and expanded and new manufacturing and asâ€" sembly plants were built in other sections of the country.
