teen states were modified. California
established a dealers license, Mime
sofa a bird license, New Hampshire

South Dakota big game resident

Wyoming and Vermont also made re-

Hampshire has placed non-residents on
the same footing with residents in the
matter of licenses.
While these last few laws we've in the
nature of liberality. laws were passed
by some states making provisions more
stringent Minnesota and Nebraska,
for example, passed laws requiring
residents to secure licenses to hunt in
their own counties, formerly not neces-
sary, and Massachusetts. New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island placed an age
limit below which applicants can not
secure licenses, and another at which
they must have the consent of parent
or guardian.
According to those in the Agricultural
Department who are familiar with
game work the country over, and have
been for some time, nothing shows the
growing scarcity of game more strong

of the game preserves. Besides the es-

Little legislation which could be termed
retrograde took place. West Virginia
abolished the resident license, while Ver-
mont abolished her alien license. In
Delaware all hunting licenses were abol-
ished, and with the measure all means
of supporting the warden and game pro-
lection work In South Carolina the law

Hampshire has come to the front with q
law prohibiting all scientific collecting
OF birds in the state. California partially
opened up a spring shooting season of
shore birds, and Michigan removed her
absolute protection from deer In several
counties; this latter change Is thought to
be accidental by the department, how
ever.
Not only were several changes made in
the open seasons, but several small game
animals were added to the lists OF hunted
animals. Thus cotton tail and bush rap-
bits We're put on the game list and pro-
vided with a season in California. Wood
ducks were added to the Delaware list,
and to that of South Carolina. Kansas
added fox squirrels and snipe, while
Maine put on elder ducks. Nebraska kill
deers and doves, and New Jersey Hun
garian cartridges.
Kansas has given absolute protection
10 gray and black squirrels, while Massa-
chusetts will protect wild turkeys, Maine
and Vermont wood ducks, doves and
swans in North Dakota and Chinese
pheasants in Oregon, as well as other
small game in some OF the other states.
Spring shooting was also abolished in
several states, such as shore birds In
Maine, snipe and geese in Michigan and
geese and swans in certain Oregon coun-
ties

claiming that all such money collected
must be paid into the state treasury, and
money for game protection be obtained
through appropriations. In Missouri
$50, 600 was thus diverted.
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Indiana and
Wyoming have adopted measures looking
toward the propagation of game as
means of increasing the supply, while the
possession and disposal Of game reared
in private preserves. under suitable regu-
lations, were recognized by legislation II
California. Maine, Massachusetts,. Michi-
gan, Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin.
North Carolina came into the lfmelight by
cutting off the privilege heretofore grant
ed of allowing the expectation OF live
quail for restocking purposes.
Novel features are not hard to find
among the array Of legislative measure:
passed. For instance, Delaware has pro-
hibited the use of dogs wearing bells or
other noise producing devices In wild fowl
shooting. Even more curious at least tt
read. is the measure in North Dakota pro-
hbiting the use of automobiles In duck
hunting. This. as far as is known al
the department. is said to be the first
legislative measure taken against the au-
tomobile. Guinea pigs. too. come in fol-
a rap. as their use is prohibited in con-
nection with rabbit hunting in Michigan
This clause is said to have originated
with the exclusion of ferrets for rabbi
hunting, when some one suggested
il ferrets were forbidden then SHOULD
guinea pigs, too, be excluded.
In Maine a measure was adopted au-
thorizing the export of game for adver.
Using purposes. while in Missouri 1t was
provided that the appropriations fol-
game protection should not be used by
the present state game commissioner
This, however, was later declared uncon-
stitutional Michigan has established a
forty-five-day deer season, but allows
only a twenty-five-day hunting license
The reason for this last measure is no,
far TO seek. OF the hundred and fifty
accidental hunting fatalities reported to
the department last year, a goodly pro-
portion were recorded from Michigan.
With but a twenty-day season there
10000 people were often hunting at the
same time, thus causing high accident

connection with the accidental killing
of people. In Michigan there has up
till the present time been neavy

convicted of accidentally shooting
another while hunting. This. how
ever has been Of little or no avail, as
sufficient evidence was never Iorth-
coming to convict any one New Hamp-

time try it out this season.
Almost as interesting as those meas
ures which have been adopted are
the facts concerning those which faileo
to be adopted. And some of these Dlils
which failed were contested as notify
a any of those which finally met sue
cess. New York, for instance, rejected
the bill allowing the killing OF duck
in the spring. This same Dill mas oeet,
killed on several occasions. as repeated
efforts have been made to secure q
spring season. In Wisconsin this same
bill has been killed twice, and In North
Dakota at least once. In Colorado four
or five attempts have been made to
have the game commission wiped out,
but the only success which this met
was an investigation of the commls-
sion. Pennsylvania. too. failed In GER
tain game law work, as resident
hunting license bill failed to pass.
Licenses are required by both resi-
dent and nonresident hunters in prac-
tically every state. but the fees for
the same vary. For convenience the
department has prepared two maps
dealing with this phase of the situa-
ton, which show at a glance just what
the fee is. One map shows the fee
for nonresident hunter. the other
the fee for a resident hunter, each be-
ing neatly superimposed on the space
taken up by the state in question.
Thus much time and trouble can be
saved by single glance at these maps.
There is a third kind of license, too,
called an alien license. This license is
for the purpose of restricting persons
not citizens of the country. Adoption

what he is made of. To this John
seriously objects, giving the reason he
is all barleycorn and nothing else. He
says this should he known to everybody
without pasting him with labels to tell
them so.
All of Johns troubles were caused by
some inquisitive person. who said in the
hearing of DR.. Wiley, beer is not beer"
Then the question quickly followed
When is beer not beer" This led to the
further inquiry of What is beer?" And
there you have 1t. That is the monu-
mental problem now before DR.. Wiley.
He must decide what is beer, whether
IL should be made from bareycorn, cab
bages or tuberoses. and whether 1t shall
wear labels, specifying the different
things entering into its makeup.
After Barleycorn versus beer has passed
before the primary bar of justice, in the
form of DIR. Wiley. the case will be sub
tect to still another trial before DR. Ira
W. Remsen, who will decide whether or
not he will concur in the finding of DR.
Wiley. And even then, after two trials
which Is contrary to the Constitution

subject to the approval or disapproval of
Secretary Wilson.
The sum of the information so far
CLEANED about what constitutes beer
seems to be about the same as the
conclusion of the old French wine mer-
chant. who discovered that wine could

the testimony before DR.. Wiley indicates
that beer may be made from anything
even barley, though that is the article
most seldom used. 1t was shown fur
Their that barley. hops and water did not
always make up the product, and that
beer sometimes is created from rice and
corn, and that brewing sugars often are
used Much conflicting testimony was of
fered to prove what causes the bright,
sparkling appearance of beer. and 1t
was claimed adulterants are often used
for this purpose.
Even the ancestry of beer was attacked
AT the trial. But the friends of beer
proved that Herodotus, Caesar and Plato
were beer drinkers, and also that stems
were the fnvariable Accomplishments of
the flesh pots of Egypt. They also show
ed that the philosophers and the soldiers
went even further and brought in the
gods of that time. 1t was said that
Ifebes cup might have been a schooner
and Jove's nectar was furnished forth
by hop vine. COR, leave a kiss but in
the cup. and I'll not look for beer"
This was a quotation of Ben Johnson
who mistranslated word Of the Greek
gentleman from whom he stole his
Drink to me only" used by one OF the
advocates Of beer.
The ancestry of beer is wonderful 1t
can be traced back to thousands of years
before the Christian era. Beer flowed at
the Sabine farm. Later the Duke of
Clarence was drowned in a barrel OF
book. Hop vine or grape vine, the
ancients drank better than some of the
moderns. Neither Greek nor Latin
artists left US pictures of Gin lane in
Athens or in Rome.
1t is impossible to say just when and
where the brewing of beer began. for
the earliest historical records show its
general use. 1t is mentioned by Mano-
thos, High Priest of Heliopolis, an Egyp-

country Then, too. the Bayne bill goes
into effect this season. This prohibits the
sale of wild game, with the exception of
rabbits, in New York. Some foreign
game and that raised in captivity, how
ever. are also exempt in the bill.
Aside from New York the most notable
reorganization Of the game systems took
place in North Dakota, Oregon and Wyo-
ming, while nine other states increased
their warden systems. Oregon has here
tofore had her game and forestry protec-
ton under one head, but under the new
provision fish and game board, CON

the game work. Wyoming now has no
single game officer. but the protection of
her game is placed under tue charge of
the governor of the state. the secretary
Of state and the state auditor, whc
are over the game warden In North
Dakota the board of control has been re-
duced from five to three members, and
the salary OF each increased from three
to five dollars per diem.
California, too, took an important S ,
in game work. That state is now diviued
into six fish and game districts, 70. each
of which separate game seasons are pro-
vided. This became necessary on account
of the varied climatic conditions there,
under which il was almost impossible to
hunt at the same time in all parts OF
the state. The creation of state game

with three, North Dakota coming next
