FISH AND GAME LEADERS WATCH ASSEMBLY MOVES Department of Conservation Prepares Bill and Works to Defeat Two Others. Legislation affecting the hunter, fisherman and trapper now before the General Assembly is causing much discussion among State outdoor sportsmen and members of the fish and game division of the State department of conservation. There are several measures pending in the House, none of which are being advocated by or indorsed by the department of conservation, according to George Mannfeld, State superintendent of fisheries and game. The legislation the division of fish and game has in mind to introduce has 'been prepared and is contained in one bill. According to Mannfeld this bill contains mainly the recommendations indorsed at the convention of the Indiana Kish, Game and Forest League. Two Bills Opposed There are two hills pending in the legislature which the division of fish and game is striving to defeat, namely. House bill 61, calling for a five-year closed season on qall, and House bill 92. which asks for the repeal of all laws restricting the use of ferrets. According to Superintendent Mannfeld, quail need no protection of this kind, but what they do need to survive Is food "and proper cover In the winter. To permit mhhlts to be hunted with ferrets again would be pleasing to the game hog. but not to the thousands who hunt with dog and gun, according to Mannfeld. The little dam age the rabbits do. in the opinion of the State Department of Conservation, can he overcome by an act aMowinlg landowners to kill them at a:.y time ivhen found doing damage to property. Conservation Bill High Lights Anent the features of the hills the Department of Conservation has prepared. they foiloy: 1. Terminatinir all licenses to hunt and fish on Dp.' .’ll of each year.

SHIP CHASED BY PERSISTENT IX Even the Cat Quits Acropolis at Malta, NEW YORK. Jan. 23.—When the Acropolis of the American Black Sea Line arrived thirty-seven days late from Near Eastern ports her 370 passengers gave a sigh of relief, as the majority had been on board since embarkation at Piraeus on Nov. 2 last. jinx had pursued the ship all the voyage, the passengers said. On this record slow trip from the Greek port to New York there was a shortage of food and coal, rough weather, desertion by the ship's cat at Malta, and, to cap the climax, when the Acropolis docked at Pier 26, Brooklyn, the crew was informed an involuntary petition in bankruptcy had been filled against the company on Tuesday. Seventy of the passengers face the somewhat dismal prospect of returning to Patras by the steamship if she sails again for the American and Black Sea Line, as they are refugees from Asia Minor placed on board by the Greek government against the ruling of the United States consul, who notified the authorities thA the quota for Greece was exhausted for the current fiscal year. _ In the harbor of Patras the crew struck because, they said, the Greek government had taken control. In consequence of the sailors refusing duty 600 tons of currants, raisins and other merchandise was left behind. Finally a start was made from Patras on Dec. 13. and after a severe struggle on the part of the crew she crawled into the harbor of V&letta, Malta, on Dec. 1. During this short trip the supply of coal put on board by the Greek government had been exhausted, and In order to make port a > great deal of the wood work had to be chopped up and used in the furnaces, including benches on deck for the use of passengers, planks from the hold and several bulkheads. SIDEBURNS ARE SURVIVING Valentino Appendage Shows no Signs of Weakening. “Sideburns are just like everything • lse, some people will keep them and s omc won’t," declared a local barber commenting on the length of life of “sheik” sideburns. Evansville barbers assert that the long sideburns ala Valentino, formerly the pride of the male flappers, are fast becoming a thing of the past. After more than four years’ reign of popularity Beau Brummels are having their sideburns snipped ofr. But not so in Indianapolis, the bar hers say. There is no noticeable change in the length of the facial appendage. Vive Valentino;

YANKS LOWER OLD GLORY ON RHINE FOR lASI TIME Many Eyes Wet as Doughboys Start Homeward Journey. (Copyright, 1925. by United Press) COBLENZ, Germany, Jan. 24. “O, say can you see ” The opening strains of the national anthem from the smartest of French military bands blared out through packed square at Coblenz promptly at noon. The Stars and Stripes on the tall flagpole fluttered an instant as two American machine gunners, honor men who had come through Chateau Thierry, pulled gently on the ropes. A French and American military guard was rigid at attention as the flag came down. Crowds of Germans and French, many with wet eyes, pushed forward to witness the ceremony. The huge flag sank slowly to the foot of the pole, where General Allen, commanding the liist remnant of the American Army of Occupation, caught it in his arms and folded it. The anthem came to an end with a crash of cymbals and a great •blare of brass. Our flag was no longer there. Last of Two Millions The ceremony signified the formal departure of the last of America's “two millions" from the Rhine. One thousand American doughboys made up the last detachment that en trained from Coblenz this afternoon. The city took a holiday to pay them honor and see them off. A little group of sixty remain behind to clean up. Two car loads of the train that drew the last Americans to Belgium for embarkation for the United States were made up of newly wedded doughhoys and tlirtr German wives. Many of them had been married In the Rhineland; there were tearful partings between brides and their relatives as the train pulled out. A telegram was received from General Ragoutte, commanding the French army of occupation in the Ruhr. "Most cordial salutations to our American comrades. Best wishes for a happy future. We will keep faithfully the souvenir of loyal cooperation." Play Marseillaise The lasl act of the American Army of occupation at Coblenz was to re turn the compliment of the French who hqnored the Stars and Stripes. The crack hand of the 3d Army’s Rhine forces smashed into a stirring Marseillaise. Two blue clad I’oilus mnj-ched to the flagpole with a huge French til color. Slowly, just as the American flag; had come down, they raised it to the top. Echange of military salutes. Final farewells at Khrenbritstein. The Americans fell in and marched to their train, which was to pull out at 4 o’clock. The French will take over the bridgehead Feb. 1.

MEASURE DRAFTED ID RELIEVE COURT Collins Seeks Prov.sion for Special Judge. Temporary relief from congestion of cases in the Marion County Criminal Court is provided in a bill drafted by Judge James A. Collins and approved by the Indianapolis Bar Asso- | elation. It will he introduced in the j Legislature by Representative RusI soil B. Harrison, the judge said. The measure is the first step in I the reorganization of the county juI dicial system, said Judge Collins. Two years from now it is planned to have the Legislature establish a court of domestic relations and another room for criminal cases, in place of .Superior Court, room 4 and 5, he said. A court of domestic reatlons is badly needed to handle all divorce oases where children are involved, i and to lighten the burden of juvenile court, according to the judge. "Immediate relief would be for the Legislature to provide for me to appoint a special judge at any time, to hear less important cases." Judge Collins said. “My bill provides that the total days served by such special Judges shall not exceed 100 days. “Twenty five jury cases are on the calendar of the court to be tried before March 26. In addition there are 509 appeals from lower courts and grand Jury’ Indictments.”

SAFEGUARD YOUR (MDREN A Grateful Mother Relates How Mentho-Laxene Saved On# Os Her Children While Another Passed Away With Pneumonia Before She Knew About This Splendid Cough and Cold Remedy.

Mrs Kathryn Schmidt, 122 Procter St.. 18tk Ward. Pittsburgh. Pa., writes under date of Dec. 17. 1621! 1 can highly recommend Mentho-Laxene. One bottle cured my child, 5 yeara of age, of an ugly Bronchial cough, contracted with a cold last October. I wai terribly distressed and 1 had one Doctor's prescription filled after another and tried different medicine# of the ready-made kind, but everything failed to check the dreadful coughing. Then it was I tried your Mentho-Laxene. which I think is great and I would not be without a bottle of it on hand. 1 am deeply sorry. I did not know of it sooner. It would have saved me many a doctor bill and-perhaps the life of my younger child whioh had passed away with pneumdhia. contracted from a cold just two months ago. You may publish my note if you wish, for I think every mother should know what a safe-guard she may have te keep her children well, in this wonderful, home-made cough syrup, MENTHO-LAXENE.” Mentho-Laxene gives marvelous results to children with acute colds and stubborn cough: and equally marvelous results to very aged people whose cases have become chronic. Many asthmatlo victims get more food from this home-made mixture th*n rom expensive medicines and prescription? of various kinds.
