NOVEL GAME LAWS

Enactments for Protection of Wild Things.

Marked Features of Legislation of Year Was Unusual Progress In Establishment of Bird and Game Refuges.

Washington.—Ohio and Pennsylvania now require hunters to wear a badge conspicuously exposed, bearing tbe number of their hunting license, according to Bulletin No. 22 of the department of agriculture, setting forth game laws of the United States and Canada for 1913. Hunters are required by the authorities of Manitoba to wea# a white coat or sweater and cap, while those who hunt for big game in Saskatchewan must wear a complete outer suit and «ap of white. Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota, Washington, Mississippi, Louisiana, Minnesota and Wyoming prohibit the use of silencers. Connecticut has provided that any hunter who shall injure a fence or let down a bar without replacing it shall forfeit his hunting license privilege for two years. Connecticut, Pennsylvania and British Columbia require license applicants under sixteen years of age to furnish the written consent of parent or guardian. Vermont has a similar restriction for those under fifteen, and Oregon does not permit children under fourteen years old to hunt except on the premises of their parents, relatives or guardians. Numerous states are restocking preserves with elk and other big game. In the effort to protect this game Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin have protected elk for a term of years, and in Massachusetts, where a few moose have escaped from the Blue Mountain forest reserve into the adjoining woodlands, a perpetual close season for moose has been provided in the hope that this area may eventually be restocked from this nucleus. During the year 18 states created game preserves, 14 in the United States and 4 in Manitoba. In Washington the county game commissioners were authorised to create game preserves, not to include more than three townships In a county, and the authorities of Michigan, Ohio and Vermont were authorised to establish game preserves on private lands. One of the marked features of the legislation of this year was the unusual progress in the establishment of bird and game refuges. By executive order four national bird reserves were created, the Aleutian reservation, containing the entire chain of Aleutian islands, in Alaska, and the smaller reservations of Walker lake in Arkansas, Petit Bais island on the coast of Alabama and Anaho island in Pyramid lake, Nev., thus bringing the total number of national bird reservations up to 64. Recently the Niobrara bird reservation has been enlarged and stocked with a herd of buffalo, elk and deer. A number of changes in laws protecting big game were made during the year. Colorado and North Dakota prohibited all killing of deer for a term of years and Saskatchewan has provided a close season throughout the year for all big game south of latitude 52 degrees. Laws protecting does at all seasons were enacted in Florida, Nevada and Wyoming. The deer seasons were shortened from two weeks to two months in Utah, Wyoming and Quebec. New Hampshire lengthened the season two weeks in Coos county, Vermont ten days, and Massachusetts opened the season in the few closed counties, thus permitting shooting throughout the state. Wyoming and Montana, heretofore affording the principal hunting for elk and sheep, have recently limited the hunting area to a few counties in each ’ state, where the seasons have usually been shortened. Wyoming has adopted tl?e innovation of allowing the killing of female elk only under ordinary resident licenses and requiring licensees to obtain a special sls license to kill a bull or an additional cow. , The most important changes in seasons are due to the passage of the federal law protecting migratory birds. Under the regulations proposed by the department of agriculture spring shooting is entirely eliminated and the seasons materially shortened in several states. Restriction of hunting and greater uniformity of laws is the general trend of state legislation in the matter of seasons. Florida repealed all local game laws and made the seasons uniform throughout the state and the passage of a measure in Wisconsin adopting the same opening date for upland game as Is In force in Minnesota and North Dakota illustrates the fact. New York placed a close season on quail for five years and Kansas added both quail and prairie chickens to the close-season list until 1918. Ohio suspended hunting of quail, ruffed grouse and doves for two years. Pennsylvania eliminated the open season on doves, kildeer plover and blackbirds, (while Utah extended complete protection to doves, swans and all shore birds except snipe. The trend of legislation during the last year has been toward electing the close season. Delaware shortened the season on ducks a month and on geese two weeks; Indiana curtailed the season six weeks on doves and ten days on quail and ruffed grouse; Michigan, 16 days on woodcock, and Missouri, one month on quail; Oregon shortened the season 45 days on doves and pigeons,

Strange Human Foods. The Chinese get a very palatable food from the chrysalis of the silk worm. The poor remove the envelope, broil tjje chrysalis and eat it with salt and pepper. In the homes of wealth, however, the chrysalis is fried in lard, butter or oil, and mixed with the yolk of an egg. But the strangest of all food is the larvae of a certain fly, common in California and known as the Ephydra. The flies are washed on ;the shore in windrows and can be .collected in bushel baskets. The In-

six weeks on shore birds, rail and geese, and west of the Cascades curtailed the-season on ducks 17 days. New Jersey shortened the open season 26 days on upland game and 19 days on woodcocks, while Pennsylvania cut down the woodcock seaeon two weeks. In Utah 45 days were taken off the open season on sage hens and in Wyoming one month on sage grouse and two months on sage ben and geese. The United States is Americanizing the navy as rapidly as possible by weeding out all Americanizing the aliens. Regular U. S. Navy. tions have been in effect in the department for more than a year to prevent the enlistment in the navy of any but American citizens. The success of this new policy may be shown by the fact that more than 95 per cent of the sailors in the navy are now Americans. It is declared by the navy department that the policy of not accepting any foreigners was adopted because it was desired not to discriminate against any nationality. Citizens of some countries are highly desirable in the navy, but others are very objectionable, it was said. The department found it could not accept some enlistments of foreigners and turn down others without causing trouble. The same regulations are not in force in the army and marine corps,, although there is talk of their adoption there in the near future. There has been so much trouble in filling up the army under existing conditions that the heads of the war department have hesitated to exclude aliens. An officer of the navy department said the other day that the new rule was put into effect because of the desire to protect the government’s naval secrets from other nations. With aliens in the navy department and on ships there is always danger of "leaks,” he said. “It is desirable that our yards and ships be manned by Americans who have sworn allegiance to the flag,” he continued, “and therefore we are getting rid of foreigners as rapidly as possible. We have gone about it gradually, as we are not able to draft men for tbe service.” The department of agriculture is just now engaged in the development of a new fruit, and Developing a it is one of those New Fruit. quaint and curious contributions in the plant line that this country has drawn from China. The new fruit is the “cha,” a near relative of the Osage orange, but it bears fruit that is good to eat, which the Osage orange does not Anything that is allied to the Osage orange is sure to create interest in the southwest That plant has proved one of the most valuable for windbreaks in the west There are literally - thousands of miles of Osage orange hedge on the Western ranches. It has proved drought and alkali resisting and will stand almost any amount of heat, while it makes a thorny hedge that is impenetrable to almost anything. The new relative of the hedge plant, the cha, is not go well understood. It will thrive ab<|ve the frost line, but just how far is not yet known. The fruit is small and round and looks something like a sycamore ball. It has small seed and is sweet, with a sort of indescribable flavor. Several have been raised in the experimental garden and they are being distributed and tried under varying conditions of soil and climate to see what they will stand. The fruit was first brought here and tried out in the experimental garden by David Fairchild of the office of plant and seed introduction. Since then it has been found and sent in by Frank Myer of the same office, who is on an agricultural exploring trip in the interior of China. That the inventive genius of the country is busy is Indicated by the annual report of Genius Has a the commissioner Busv Year. of pateutß - AppU ' J cations for patents during the year totaled 67,986, the largest on record, except for 1912, when there were 69,236. During the year 38,754 patents were granted, and 5,166 trade marks, 664 labels, and 254 prints were registered. The receipts from all sources aggregated $2,082,490; expenditures, $1,924,459, the net revenue being $158,030*' The patent office has the distinction of being one of the few bureaus of the government that is operated as a profit, the net surplus of the otflce since its establishment being $7,290,103. The retiring commissioner, Edward H. Moore, who made the report, recommends -an increase in the salaries of patent office offcials in order to retain exceptionally well-equipped men In the service, and urges strongly the erection of an adequate building to insure the preservation of “the priceless records and archives of the office.” Protection of Records. To protect records of the government from fire, congress has made an appropriation for the installation of a modern . system of auxiliary fire protection for three of the largest buildings occupied by the department of the interior in the city of Washington. A committee has* been appointed to investigate the relative merits of systems adapted to the buildings of the department and to prepare plans and specifications.

PLUMAGE IS TAKEN

Woman With Aigrettes in Hats Have Interesting Time. New Tariff Bill Forces Very Disagreeable Duty Upon Customs Officials —Feminine Headgear Is Badly Mutilated. New York. — With the passage of the new tariff bill the customs official has had thrust upon him a new and disagreeable office. He must tear out the aigrettes and plumage of foreign birds that women passengers are wearing in their hats when they arrive in American ports. When the Underwood bill went into effect, a score of women on the French liner Lorraine were subjected to this treatment. Their Indignation was so great they could not contain themselves. Recriminations were heaped on the inspectors, who were acting in the only way that Insured the execution of the clause forbidding the importation of aigrettes or the plumage of any wild bird. Try as they could, the customs men were unable to make the women understand they were carrying out orders. Disorder and confusion prevailed. This probably will be the rule, steamship men say, every time an Inspector steps aboard a vessel. Mme. Ada Bevilaqua was one of the first to suffer. She was dressed in ultra-Parislan style and an aigrette set off her small velvet hat Mme. Bevilaqua said she was being scrutinized and grew embarrassed. She learned the worst a second later when an inspector, a veteran, who feared neither the cold glare of a woman passenger nor the angry swearing of a man bearing dutiable tobacco or liquor, stepped forward and started the program. “Your hat, madam," the inspector said. “We must have that aigrette.” Mme. Bevilaqua looked astonished, then became indignant. It was not until the inspector reached out and took the feather that she realized what was wanted. Then the customs man explained the provision of the law under which he was acting, and the woman was loud in her denunciation. “My milliner never told me a word about that,” she said angrily, and the inspector, shrugging his shoulders, remarked byway of consolation that a good many American women who are homeward bound with Paris bonnets are going to suffer a keen disappointment when they arrive at this port. Before the passengers of the Lorraine had been cleared, a great pile of aigrettes, feathers and stuffed birds had been collected. And for each of the exhibits, which might be called No. 1 in Uncle Sam’s new tariff trial, in which thousands of American women travelers are to be the defendants, the Inspectors received sarcastic remarks and acrid adjectives. The “chivalry” of the “gentlemen” who drew up the tariff was touched upon time and again.?, - Taking courage frcdn the example the inspector who attacked Mme. Bevilaqua, the rest of the force went to work with zest. Milliners’ decorations worth several hundred dollars were ponficated on the Lorraine. The customs men got busy also on the Campania of the Cunard line, which arived later.) A collection of bird of paradise was found in short order by the inspectors. The trunks of the women passengers were ransacked for them. Plumage seized was turned over to the appraisers, who will set a price on each piece and send word to the owners, /who 1,0 permitted to return them to the dealer from whom they were purchased.

STRAY HORNETS SPIKED GUN

Mosby Failed to Capture train Because of Them. While Walting for Federal Sutlers’ Wagons Confederate Rangers Met With a Wrtrm Reception—Luck With Men in Blue. Boston.—Col. John S. Mosby, commander of the Partisan Rangers, who gave such dashing service in the southern cause fifty year® ago, is living now in the city of Washington, the Youth’s Companion states. One of the really amusing incidents that passed under his notice during the war he told not long ago. In the summer of 1864 when Gen. Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the Shenandoah, he found himself much harassed by Mosby, who was continually cutting off bls supply trains. An army cannot fight on an empty stomach, and Mosby knew it. One bright morning Mosby heard that a long supply train was winding its way down the valley. By noon the rangers, in their gray uniforms, were gathered at the forks of the valley pike, watching for the head of the wagon train to appear. Presently a cloud of dust -was seen rising far up the road, and, as the wind blew it aside, the Confederates caught sight of a line of men In blue escorting a caravan of lumbering wagons drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the order to run a little howitzer up on the side of the hill and

He will have an examination made and it may be necessary to undergo an operation. Tallman takes the watch down to his office daily and Is at his work, as usual, with clockwork regularity. Among the many inconveniences he has to suffer, however, aw

EGGLESTON STORY IS DENIED No Such Man on the Merrimac, Says Capt Bob Wright, Who Was Our Engineer. Richmond, Va. —“There was no such man as J. E. Eggleston, chief engineer, nor as assistant engineer on the Merrimac,” said CapL Bob Wright of this city after reading a press dispatch from Sewanee, Tenn., telling of the death of Eggleston and referring to him as the last survivor of that famous fighting vessel. Captain Wright continued: “I was an assistant engineer on the Jamestown of the Confederate navy, and I knew all the officers on the Merrimac and all the other vessels in the fleet. I was in the navy during its entire life. Charles Ramsey of Baltimore was the chief engineer of the Merrimac. He was an assistant engineer in the United States navy, and when war came he resigned and joined with the Confederacy. He is living in Baltimore at this time and is engaged in the iron business. I think his name was Charles Ramsey. At any rate, there was a Ramsey, who was the chief engineer, and there was no Eggleston in the service that I ever before heard of, and I have seen nothing of him in the records.” Captain Wright says that the last survivors of the Merrimac are so plentiful that he believes if all who claim to have served on that vessel had done so there would have been men enough to have manned at least ten vessels of the same size.

unlimber IL As soon as the' gun had opened fire the rest of the men were to make a cavalry charge and throw the train into confusion. The rangers jerked the gun into position and began to swab it out Suddenly the man with the swab gave a shrill yell, seized the seat *of his pantaloons and fled down the hill and out Into the road. Almost the same moment the other man at the gun abandoned it He seemed to be fighting at tbe air as he disappeared over a stone wall. The sutlers’ wagons were creeping nearer and Mosby did not know what to think of sUch extraordinary conduct. Hp ordered four more men to the gun, but hardly had they reached it yrhen they, too, yelled, began to beat the air madly with their hats and took to flight. Spurring his horse over the stone wall Mosby rode toward the gun, but his stay was short. *The howitzer stood, just over a hornet’s nest and those busy insects were resenting the intrusion. They had repelled the invaders on foot and now they swarmed on Mosby’s horse till the maddened animal tore off down the pike on a run. Then they turned their attention to the rest of the troop. Their attack was so vicious that the rangers gave up any idea of standing by the gun. They scattered far and wide and it was an hour before they returned. When they did the wagon train had safely vanished in the distance. So the hornets saved the day tor Sheridan.

5, = 5 Talks iizz~ -Zii NON-ADVERTISER /SOON FORGOTTEN People Buy From Merchants Who | Advertise, Being Largely ConI trolled by What They Read. In the main, advertising is a commercial proposition. Advertising space is sold as a commodity. Considered in its narrowest aspect, it does not differ materially from boots and shoes, hats and caps. In its broader effects, it concerns the public vitally. Advertising is one of the agencies of distribution, and the public regards it as such. The people buy the commodities that are advertised, as they absorb the opinions that are advertised. The average citizen is the average consumer. He has little time or disposition to get his information at first hand, and therefore his actions are controlled to a large extent by what he reads. Statistics show that between $600,000,000 and $700,000,000 is spent in this country annually Tor advertising. Before the days when advertising had gained so notable a foothold, the sale of goods by the manufacturer or jobber was promoted by the commercial traveler, who appealed not to the consumer, but to the merchant. Today, conditions are changed. The people demand the best and cheapest in the market. The merchant who depends upon routine business to unload his stock never can pass beyond Sore level of progress , demanding the latest test styles and the latest chandise, places the up:haut under constant keeping his goods moving arid of keeping his shelves clear for the newest offerings of the central markets. This means that he must keep in close touch with the public and must, from time to time, put on special sales at reduced prices in order to get rid of old stock and make, room for the new which he knows, but which his customers generally do not know, is coming. To reach the public the newspapers offer the only direct means of communication on short notice sales. The progressive, wide-awake merchant advertises because he knows it pays to do so. To those who deny the value of publicity as applied to merchandise, the answer is this: Delivery wagons are daily loaded with advertised commodities. A meritorious article that is not known has no sale. The facts it, and that is why more than $600,000,000 is spent annually in this country for advertising. The bigger the concern, the greater its facilities for handling goods the more extensively it advertises. The merchants who had nothing to say to the public is soon forgotten by the public. He is credited by the experienced shopper with having nothing on hand 14 but shop-worn goods, purchased at receivers’ or sheriffs, sales--and offered to the public at prices charged by the progressive merchant, who does advertise. The merchant who does not advertise is only one step removed from the street “fakir” who disposes of his unknown wares to unknown customers, counts his profits and makes his get-away.

SENSE OF SMELL WEAKENING Man No Longer Needs It In Tracking Enemies and punting for Food. Scientists believe that when the kiss loses its primary function and become® merely a symbol of affection —and It is becoming this rapidly—it will do much to destroy man’s olfactory sense. This, along with the fact that men no longer need this sense in tracking their enemies and hunting for food, means that the sense of smell is being rapidly destroyed. It is gradually weakening with every generation, so that In several generations most men and women may .not know that their forefathers had such a thing as an olfactory sense. Brilliant Brains at Work. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually in the United States in advertising, and there is even a more prosperous future in store for this wonderful combination of science and art. Many oft the world’s brilliant brains are devoted to its study and development and greater good than ever is sure to come out of it. Must Have Merit. Remember that nothing but merit can stand publicity. If knything is advertised year after year it must have merit. Otherwise it would have been chased to the tall timber. Too Much at Stake.

BIG PRICE FOR SENTENCE ’ Pennsylvania Judge Gets SIO,OOO For Three Words—“ Stop, Look, Listen.” More or less fanciful tales are told of the price per word paid to famous writers. Rudyard Kipling has received as much as a dollar a word. But there was a lawyer who became chief < justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania whose rate is unsurpassed. He is said to have received $3,333.33 1-3 a word. He wrote only three * words at this rate, howeyer, but those words are familiar to any one who has crossed a right-ofway. • They are “Stop. Look, Listen.” There are several versions of the origin pf this crossing warping, but that it was the work of the attorney is the correct one. At any rate he received the money. Between thirty and forty years ago a lawyer named Paxson, who eventu- ' ally became one of Pennsylvania’s most famous judges, was counsel for the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, r Later he was its receiver during the earlier reorganization which preceded . that of 1894. While Paxon was its counsel the inadequacy of tbe old-time crossing-sign as a legal warning and the danger of persons passing it unheeded became a matter of serious discussion. Paxon was asked by the railroad to' devise an inscription that* should fulfil all the requirements—a sign that would warn passers-by and would legally protect the railroad if <5 they did not heed. It seemed like a very simple thing, but its legal aspect had many complications. It involved laborious researches extending over many weeks and reference to innumerable precedents established since the dawn of the stage-coach era. After the legality of the matter had been settled the solution was to decide on the smallest number of words that would be sufficient without crowding the sign. They y had to be short and so few that they might be read and understood at a glance, even by the most unintelligent. « Many forms were tried and rejected by Paxon before he submitted “Stop, Look, Listen,” as the crystallization of his labors. It was neither vague, inconspicuous nor verbose. Paxon’s fee was SIO,OOO. It was probably the most valuable “copy” ever turned in by a writer.
