Mexico City, Sept. 6.-Proyisional

friendship.

Open Season for pucka.

Las Vegas.-The season for ducks,
snipes, curlew and plover opened
September l, according to the state
law and runs until Mach 81 of each
year. Such has been the program in
the past, but effective October l, 1918,
the federal law for the protection of
migratory birds goes into effect and
will OF course supercede the state
law for migratory waterfowl. Ac-
cording to the federal act, the open
season for ducks and other migratory
water fowl in New Mexico, Arizona,
Oklahoma and Kansas, shall be from
September l to December 16. This
Is considerable shortening of the
duck season, and the game warden's
department is bringing this to the at
tention Of all deputy game wardens
There is also another important pro-
vision in the new federal law. 1t
provides a daily closed season on all

rise and gives the birds protection at
night.

new SCHOOL HOUSES
NEW MEXICO EDUCATIONAL DE-
PARTMENT HAS OVER 100000.
Amount Can Be Used to Erect School
Houses, Replace Rented Buildings
And Rebuild Worn Out Structures.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Santa Fe.-The State Department of
Education is now beginning to enter
upon the larger work OF building
school houses in sections where they
are needed under the authorization
contained in the laws of 1913 Pre-
viously through the state aid fund,
school was maintained in every one of
the districts Of the state for the period
of five months, and there is still about
100000 available for the schol build
ing fund.
Although there are 1000 school dis
tricts in the state, there are some
districts where school buildings are
rented, and some districts in which
a community Of considerable size is
located at some distance from any
school building now being used. To
remedy all of this will be the aim of
the state department of education, and
blanks are now being printed on
which to make application for aid for
the building of school house. These
blanks Will be sent out Immediately
and 1t is hoped before the five months
term in these districts starts, to have
a school house ready for the use of
the school population.
According to the law which author
ICES the helping of needy districts, the
district itself must furnish at least
one-third of the cost of the school
room, either in labor or money, and
the state is limited to $500 maximum
for this purpose to any one school.
Figuring that the districts would all
take advantage of the $500 maximum
amount, this means the construction
of a class of buildings averaging in
cost around $3.50, with some of them
costing even more, since some dis
tricts are prepared and willing, in or
der to get new building, to put UP
more than the necessary one-third re-
quired to get state aid.
OF the 1907 school buildings in the
state in which school is held, 1888 are
owned by the districts in which they
are located, and 219 are rented build
hgs. 1t is very probable that every
one of the 219 schools occupying rent
ed buildings will attempt to get into a
building Of their own with the help
OF the 5000 state money. According
to Mr.. Whites report, 164 buildings
owned by the districts are reported in
poor condition, and undoubtedly some
of these will be replaced.

Efforts to Solve Problem Of How
to Make Games shorter-con-

The rules Of baseball permit the UNI
pire to call ball whenever a pitch.
er holds the ball for more than 20
seconds. He can continue to call
balls for each such offense. This rule
was adopted to shorten the length of
baseball games It is good rule,
but 1t is one that might easily and
with the approval of "fandom" every.
where be improved uTon.
There Is no reason why the pitch
er should be allowed 20 seconds In
which to make his delivery. Fifteen
would be ample. 1t is admitted that
1t Is quite task to pitch nine innings,
when every pitch is a we'll defined ac-
ton and freQuently-such as in the
case OF curve balls, spit balls, and the
hke-puts a tremendous pull on the
wrist and the shoulder. But it must
also be taken into consideration that
1t Is seldom that pitcher 10 asked
TO work oftener than every third day
at most.
This Is cited because OF the time
consumed in the playing Of ball games,
particularly In the American league,
thlS year is a topic that has demanded
the attention Of the public more than
ever before.
Many a well played game has not
appeared as such because the time
consumed has made the play monot-
onous and irksome.

as can be judged, the players are of
equal merit and the umpires are Just
as earnest and untiring in their efforts
to hustle play. but there have been
few contests in the Johnson organixa-
ton that have been disposed of In less
than one hour and forty-five minutes,
and many that have taken two hours
and more before being completed.
In reference to these games only
nine inning affairs are taken into con-

that most of the teams In the Amer
