VIOLATING NEW GAME LAWS

Local Gunners Reported to Be Bag
ging More Than the Law Permits
And Game is Being Fast Depleted
There seems 70 be, on the part of
a great many gunners, a misunder-
standing of the provisions of the
game laws, as enacted by the last
Legislature. Section II Of Chapter
164, entitled: IAN act providing for
the enforcement of the game and
fish laws of Delaware" is as fol-
lows: "That it shall be unlawful
for any person to take or kill more
than rs rail birds, 20 ducks or II
birds or fowl of any species and six
animals, protected by the provision
Of this act, except snipe, plover,
and reed birds in any one day. 1t
has been reported from Townsend
that two gunners killed q squirrels
in three hours; another gunner in
the neighborhood of Greenville killed
Is in one day. Other instances have
been reported of gunners killing
more than six squirrels in one day.
There have also been violations of
this act in regard to Sunday shoot
ing, in the neighborhood of Green
vile. A great many gunners are
inclined to favor this provision be-
cause with the modern gun and es-
pecially the pump gun a squirrel
does not have much of a chance to
get away; the killing of q in three
hours by two men is regarded as
slaughter, and the genuine sportman
has nothing but contempt for the
pOthunter. In the days of the muz-
zle loader this would hardly have
heen possible, and such indiscrimi-
nate killing will soon exterminate
them. AS one gunner remarked,
"There is plenty of game this year,
but it will be scarce next year.

The tomato canning factories are

conditions were decidedly against a

sequence, local canneries have not
packed what they had prepared to
do. Hoffecker Bros. & Halls fac
tory at Smyrna Landing closed down
last week and the foreign labor
left Monday. The j. II. Hoffceker
Canning Company of this town is

duction sale 1t is not wise to choose
any kind but one that is plainly tall
cred-and then not extreme. For In
stance. 1t will be just SO much money
thrown away to purchase a suit with
hobble skirt, as that mode ia passe.
Neither is 1t wise to select novelty

hour. Broadcloth. cheviot, conserva-
tive suitings, velvet and velveteen

cially the three first mentioned. as
they can be comfortably worn in the

to select a rather fanciful suit Is when
one is fortunate in securing an i'm

cause nine chances out of ten the

season.
Topcoat 10 Never Amlss.
AS / know OF no garment that gives
SO much comfort and pleasure as a
topcoat l urgently advise every wom-
an to have at least one. And now is
her chance to get It, as this has been
decidedly coat season and there Is
certain to be a surplus. Whether one
has motor or not. there is satisfac-
ton in having top coat ready for
that unexpected trip; or for one when
travelling and shopping. If one antici-
pates an European trip in the spring
or summer, now is the time to get
steamer coat. Undoubtedly the most
charming topcoats in the history of
fashion will be sacrificed In spite Of
their elegant sturdy tweed and home
spun fabrics. / should also advise one
to take advantage of lowered prices
on seal plush coats-as these in the
fine imported qualities quite rival Hud-
son seal, and besides they are certain
to be In style next season.
AdvIsabiIity Of Buying Furs.
Even though one may not have
urgent need for a set of furs or a fur
coat, / am sure that the purchase of
either will prove an excellent invest
ment. But in doing so, only purchase
a staple fur. Do not think of buying
either raccoon or opossum. as these
furs have been popularized this sea
son-and as merely fur. neither is
worth much. should certainly rec
ommend buying lynx. as this fur is
not always modish. but is rapidly be-
coming extinct-this season there
were only 2.400 lynx animals to fill
the demand. However. do not buy
fur that is called Russian lynx" as
that is only a Russian lynx cat-gen-
uine lynx comes from Alaska. Skunk,
mink. ermine. genuine fox. Hudson
seal. moleskin and sable. of course.
will be advisable selections.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or. at the most. three different
kinds of flowers In one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or. better still. soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show of the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white.
delicate shade of green. or rose col

in them.
