When Hughey was playing short

pennsylvania and visited Huhgey and
his folks. He had the best of every

THEY HAVE TO BURN ALCOHOL.
Supply of Gasoline Fails to Keep up
With Demand.

There are in use in America APP
proXimately 10000 motor cars said
W. E. Scarritt, ex-president of the
Automobile club of America at a gen.
eral meeting of the American automo-
bile association in New York last week.
These do not consume as much as
the 100000 gasoline stoves which are
in use all over the middle west, where
fuel is always high, and it is due to
the use of gasoline for such purposes
that has been the chief cause during
the past five years in doubling the
price of gasoline. The California and
Texas oils are practically barren of
gasoline distillates, and while the sup
ply of gasoline is not growing, it's con-
sumption is rapidly increasing.
What is our remedy for this threat
ening situation? II lies in the direc-
ton of vegetable alcohol At presen.
the United States government taxes

reason why this tax should not be We,
alcohol rendered unfit for beverage.
Experiments with this fuel made in
France, also in America, by Prof Elihu
Thompson, show that it may be utii

gallons of denatured VEGETABLE alco-
hol." Mr.. Scarritt stated a bill was
about to be introduced in congress pro-
viding for the removal of the tax on
vegetable alcohol, and he advised all
automobiles to unite in supporting
the measure.
The American automobile associa-
ton placed itself on record as dis
countenancing the use of searchlights
in cities and towns except when alb

signboards was also discussed, and it
was decided to have committee of

The hunting of them there may be
strenuous or luxuriously easy, as the
taste or the limitations of the sports
man may dictate.
If he be strenuously inclined he may

The barren lands" of extreme
northern Canada afford no finer exam
pies than these and the monotony Of
the "barrens" no less than the diff

sportsman from adding the finest

Some of the great hunters of the

has more lions to his gun than any
| living sportsman-find the hunting of
the caribou in Newfoundland the
most exciting and exhilarating sport.
Since the buffalo was exterminated
on the western plains some so years
| ago there is left in North America no
place where big game is so plentiful
as in the oldest colony. At one spot
| there-Howley's station-when the
caribou are making their great annual
migration, literally thousands of head
! can be counted pouring across the
railway track.
| So exact is this great migrating
movement in time and place, writes a
| recent observer, that hunters former
! ly camped by the rails, or in section
houses, or ran their chartered private
cars on to Howley's siding and Sc
| cured their heads without walking

fate of the buffalo in the West, how

est game heritages within easy reach
of North American sportsmen, the
| government has taken measures to
protect the crossing places" and
| give the herds unmolested access
to the milder climate of the southern
interior. Three miles of country, each
side of the railway, five miles each
way from Howiey's station, has been
| reserved as neutral ground and gov.
eminent agents patrol the district
during the migrating season. Hunting
in this reserve is prohibited, and the
caribou cross freely in the fall and
again on their way north about the
| month of May.
To the sportsman we may say that
after many hunting trips for big
game" III various parts of the United
States and Canada, we have found no
finer sport nor more interesting
