NEED OF ELK HERDS DEFINED BYJSIOLOGIST More Grazing Range During Winter Necessary to Stop Disease. Uv KcUnre Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Extension of their winter range, eliminating as much as possible the crowding and concentration incident to feeding with hay, is one of the keys to the promotion of good health n the great elk herd of Jackson Hole, south of Yellowstone National park. This was brought out at a meeting of the Commission on the Conservation of the Jackson Hole Elk here, by O. J. Murie of the United States biological survey, who has spent something over two years following the herd and learning their ways and life problems. The commission consists of representatives of United States government departments, the state of Wyoming, various wild life organizations, and business men of the region. It is necessary to feed hay to the elk comparatively early in the winter under present conditions. Mr. Murie explained, because if this is not done the animals crowd upon the ranches in the valley, stealing : hay intended for the farmers’ livestock and in general raising a disturbance. Prolongs Period This prolongs the period of their crowding together on the elk feeding frounds, and crowded elk interchange disease germs just as crowded human beings do. If some or all of the ranch lands can be acquired and turned into elk range, the elk can be left to shift for themselves farther into the winter, keeping them uncrowded and in better condition than they are at present. The most prevalent of the serious diseases among the elk, Mr. Murie stated, is necrotic stomatitis, known to cattlemen as ‘'soremouth.” Its symptoms are severe inflammation and lesions, finally causing eating away of the bone. It also evidences itself in other parts of the body, as pneumonia, pleurisy, arthritis and a condition like diphtheria, resulting in death through strangulation and general poisoning. The mode of entry of the disease is not definitely known as yet, but suspicion attaches to the long, sharp bristles of fox-tail grass, which is very common on the valley ranch lands. This makes punctures in the mouth lining of the elk, and may thus initiate the infection. Calves and Cows Victims The chief sufferers are the calves and the adult cows. Both these groups lose as many as 18 per cent of their numbers in an ordinarily severe winter, whereas the average loss for the herd as a whole is less than 6 per cent. The convention of practically all of the Jackson Hole area into a game range is not unattended by

difficulties, discussion at the meeting developed. All the various interests involved wish to see the elk herd prosper, and are willing to cooperate toward that end. There are, however, several problems in land economics that have to be met in the acquisition of the ranch lands and their restoration to public ownership, and it is toward the solution of these that the efforts of the commission are now being directed. SHEARER LOBBY CASE HEARING IS AT HALT No Date Set for Resumption of Big Navy Inquiry. Bv Scrinps-Hotcard yetespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—N0 date for resumption of the senate inquiry into the “big navy” lobbying carried on by William B. Shearer here or at Geneva, in behalf of private shipbuilders, has been set, Senator Shortridge, committee chairman, said today. Though it is two months since the committee suddenly ended its hearings after bringing out that Shearer had been hired as an “observer,” Shortridge said he had not consulted his colleagues to arrange for additional meetings. He explained that “we have been so bullyragged here that we haven’t had a chance to get together.” Senator Shortridge said there are only “odds and ends” to be gathered together.

MUSIC AFFECTS CHOIGEOF FOOD Varying Effect Is Noted During Dining. B j United Press CHICAGO. Dec. 13.—Maybe it had not occurred to the diner in general, but if you suffered after-effects from that Thanksgiving dinner, perhaps it was because your radio

tuned in on jazz when a little symphony was the correct thing. Not only does music have charms to soothe the fiercest beast, according to a survey by a local concern, but it also has powers to soothe the fiercest pangs of hunger. The music with meals has a great deal to do with enjoyment of the meal, the report following the survey said. For instance, at hotels slow music is the order for the dinner, when slow eating is the thing. Jazz cal’s for tall, cqol drinks and light desserts, but dreamy waltz music brings out orders for table d’hote meals. Oriental music calls for chop suey, chow mein and so on.
