Prof. Henry A.. TirreII Talks on New

In spite of the stormy weather We'd
nesday evening there was a good sized
crowd present in the basement of st.
Mary's. church to hear the talk on the
new charter given by Prof. Henry A.
Tirrell under the auspices of the Holy
Name society. President Joseph 0.
Donnelly introduced Professor Tirrell,
who spoke for about an hour, explain
ing the principles and ideas of the
charter in a brief and comprehensive
way. Questions by those present were
answered in a clear. concise manner
and the speaker left the audience with
the impression that the commission
had done it's work in a non-partisan
way and with desire to serve the
citizens. Copies of the proposed char
ter were distributed at the close and a
rising vote of thanks was extended
Professor Tirrell. Fathers Fitzmaurice
and Kennedy were present.

Queer Features of the New Game Laws

r HE game laws for 1911 as COM
l piled by the Biological Survey of
the Department of Agriculture make
interesting and sometimes odd read
ing. There Is a demand for the in
formation they contain which it is
laborious to supply in compendious
form. The volume of the game legis-
lation Of 1911 so exceeded that of any
preceding year that even to note
changes in the laws is quite an under
taking. All but eight Of the states put
new game laws on the statute books
this year.
Delaware forbade the use of dogs
wearing bells or other noise producing
devices in wild fowl shooting, North
Dakota the use of automobiles in
duck shooting, and Michigan the en-
ployment of guinea pigs in hunting
rabbits. New Hampshire has prehib-
tied "the scientific collecting" of birds.
Tennessee is one of those southern
states that have come under the be-
nign influence of the Audubon society.

robins a misdemeanor. Michigan
