"One of the things that has been
sadly neglected is the language OF
some of our lower animals" said
James Speed, the naturalist. How
many persons ever thought for one in
slant about what a hog says to an
other hog, or what he says tn you or
me?
Hogs do talk and talk good deal.
Suppose you go out to the barnyard
early in the morning; doesn't every
hog come running and n unmistaka-
BILE language beg for something to eat?
If you give them trough full of slop,
what is the meaning of the satisfied
grunt which you hear? 1t is not at all
like the begging whici was INDUCED
in until you feed them.
Zone balmy June day ! was walk
ing across q field of clover, when far
ahead | saw an old friend of mine. a
big SOW. Inc fresh green clover made
no sound as my feet sunk in it, and the
SOW did not hear me until was just
behind her. Suddenly she turned and
at once gave startled grunt, which
warned her six little spotted pigs that
danger was near. In an instant every
little pig dropped fat on its stomach
and its ears were flattened on its lit
tie back.
AFTER the old SOW had taken sec
ond good look at me she recognized q
personal friend who had fed her "a
her life, so she gave a low, satisfied
grunt, and each and every little pis
jumped up and went to playing again

EXPERTS APPROVE
LOCAL AUTO" RULES
Praise From New Workers
for Bicycle Police.
MAKING FEW MISTAKES
New Speedometer Court Evidence
Which the Violaters Can
not Evade.

The Automobile" published in New
says:
Those unpleasantly familiar with the
subject of Illegal automobile speeding
and its punishment are painfully aware
that the methods sometimes used to Sc
cure sufficient evidence to warrant con-
viction are totally inadequate II not un-
dignifed and oppressive
1T has remained for the Police De-
partment OF Washington d. c., to give
this matter sufficient intelligent thought
to devise a simple method of securing
reasonable proof of fast driving. which.
when presented in court as testimony,
cannot be controverted.
The washington method. which has
been put into execution by Major syl
sists in providing each bicycle policeman
With a reliable speed Indicator. which
is fitted to his wheel and then tested for
accuracy by a commission from Police
Headquarters.
Each instrument, when found accur-
ate. is sealed and officially numbered,
and suitable record kept for reference.
Swear to Reading.
The members OF the bicycle squad are
permitted to make no arrests for fast
driving excepting in cases where the
speed is proved 20 be excessive by their
registered speed indicators. Following
an arrest the officer is required to swear
as TO the reading of his speedometer
during the time that he was following
the suspected motorist to warrant con-
viction.
THE novelty of the system lies in the
adoption of a method for testing the
speed indicators for accuracy and the
registering of them. The testing APP
paratus. which was designed by E. p
Nusbaum. consists of two sets of con-
tact boards which are placed quarter
OF a mile apart. each set being connect
ed with an electric stop watch.

GAME ASSOCIATION

SQUIRREL SHOOTING BARRED

The opening OF the hunting season mas
revived the active duties Of the Game

dolph Kaufman, l. Walter Sharp. Jesse
Middleton, Edward II. Neumeyer, John
Breen. J. Robert Sutton, Harry L. West
The object OF this association Is to see
to the proper enforcement of. the game
laws. The District law provides that
discrepancy between the local laws and
those of the surrounding country Is nc
excuse for violations, having the game
in possession constituting as much Of
tense as when the game is killed in the
District hence the need of extra vigil
ance at this time.
Best Shooting in Virginia.
The season is open now in the District
Maryland. and Virginia for piover, snipe
rail. reedbird and ortolan. and many are
taking advantage Of the sport. So fai
the Virginia marshes are producing the
most birds. The only obstacle to Dis
trict hunters in taking advantage o
the trans Potomac abundance of game
however. lies in an act recently passed
prohibiting hunting in that State with
| out paying a SO license. and forbiddiDI
the shipping OF game from the state
This law, Il Is claimed, was made neees
sary as Washington negroes were in tn
habit of getting all the game in sigh
for sale In this city. 1t is whispere
that an acquaintance with a resident o.
: the Virginia side obviates most dim
/ culties for District citizens who hun
purely for sport.
