Thousands of baby fish of all sorts are being placed in lakes, rivers and streams in this state, according to the conservation report. These fish aretaken from the several hatcheries in the state and placed where it is thought they are needed most for stocking purposes.

Hass | blue gills, perch, pike and pickerel ■ are the principal stocking fish. o Auto Races At Funk’s Motor Speedway July 19 Due to the heavy rains on July 4 the automobile races at Funk’s Motor Speedway, Winchester, Indiana have been postponed until Sunday, July 19.

The confession says the two youths sought to combine the leading features of two famous Chicago cases into one crime. They borrowed the kidnapping and ransom ideas from the slaying of Bobby Franks, fho which Nathan Leopold 'and Richard Loeb are in prison for life. Then they took the poison injection Idea out of the state's charges, now upset, against William Darling Shep. herd. From‘the two they concocted the scheme by which they sought to extract 150,000 from Daniel C. Jackllug, the copper magnate. Mrs. Jackli-ig was to be the target of their plot, Bliss Baker, senior at the University of California and student of criminology. is In the city prison, n his amazing confession he named as his accomplice and the actual instigator of the plot one "George Beeman," who he later said was Russell Crawford, and student at Berkeley.

"To save our most valuable human resource, emphasis should be placed - on education —not so much for work as for leisure. It is not the work time generally which makes people unhappy and leads them into trouble, but their incapacity to conduct their lives in the remaining sixteen hours of the day. It seems that people have lost the capacity to entertain themselves. and have demanded more commercialized entertainment. Our department does what it can to co-op-erate with the school and the home, 1 through its various divisions. One , of our specialists in bird lore addressed 50.000 children and teachers last season.
