trained men already materially exceeds
the actual demand.
AS n recognized profession forestry in
the United states is less than twenty
years old. The rapid growth Of the United

fifteen years ago. created large opp0r-

condition at present During tho last two
years l75 forest school graduates have
taken the examination In forestry for en-

number 50 passed the entrance tests and
only H. have found employment In other

WinqIess Chickens Next.

Relief for neighbors who do not
keep chickens is promised in a new
breed of wingless fowl on the way at
Johnson Coursen's poultry farm at
Newton, n. j. Without even the lntl-
nation of wing, these chickens VIII
be unable to escape from their own
er by flying over fences into neighbors'
lawns and gardens, thus removing al
most the last obstacle to A suburban
millennium.
Coursen has a barred Plymouth
Rock hen nine months old, which is
commencing to lay eggs. She has not
the least sign of wing on either side
of her otherwise normal body. She
can walk in dignified manner, but
when she tries to run she loses her
balance and gyrates like rudderless
vessel.
Coursen is saving the hens eggs,
and will try to hatch them as the be-
ginning of a breed of wingless chick
ems. The experiment is being watch

file their pivot ends to points they
will not spin in one spot but will glide

BULLET PROOF WOLF KILLED
Old Whitey's Depredations Cost
Rancher $4,000 in Past
Five Years.

Wheatland, Wood Whitley, an
unusually large gray wolf whose dep
relations have cost the stockmen of
this section $4,000 during the past
FIVE years, was slain by George Rooms
on the Mertz ranch on the Laramie
plains.
Old Whitley was probably the most
cunning wild animal that ever oper-
ated in southeast Wyoming. He side
stepped poisoned food and traps set
out to catch him, while his f1eetness
of foot carried him out of reach OF
Russian stashounds.
He seemed bullet proof, for on many
occasions ranchmen have heard the
thud of their bullets as they struck
his hide, but he always got away IN
til this time. His hide is SCARED by
many bullet wounds and his feet and
legs are knots of broken cords and
muscles. Rooms will obtain rewards
of over $10o for the capture of Old
Whitley.

PRINCESS MARY Is

like her anceStreSS, no sense of humor,
and in spite of the sensible upbringing
of her parents has a considerable idea
of her own Importance. The writer
can vouch for the following episode
which happened at one of the large
garden parties at buckingham palace
about two years ago.
Princess Mary, dressed in a simple
white dress, was allowed, rather as a
favor. to mingle with the guests. Run
ming up to high court official whom
she knew well, and who was in deep
conversation with a member of the
government, she pulled his coat sleeve
several times to gain his attention. AT
last he turned and said courteously
but rather impatiently, Run away,
little lady; I'm busy now"
The princess ran to her mother, who
had observed the little scene from a
distance.
Mother" cried the indignant
daughter, Sir called me little
lady and told be to run away"
You had better go back to him, my
dear, SAID the queen, and tell him
that though you are a princess, that
you have yet to learn to be little
lady"
Princess Mary is something of an
autocrat among her brothers, and at
Sandringham, the charming country
house of the king and queen in Nor
folk, there is sometimes a good deal
of sparring and an exchange of much
plainness Of speech. Once when
games were being played with the
children of the gamekeepers on the es-
tate, the princess in a fit of temper
pushed one of her playmates into a
shallow pond and then ran away
laughing. The Prince Of Wales, then
about thirteen. was very angry with
his sister, and locked her up In a
summer house.

NEW YORK FILM LAW SIGNED
Ordinance Safeguards Audiences in
Moving Picture Theaters in
Metropolis.

New York-Mayor Gaynor signed
the new moving picture ordinance
which was passed recently by the
board of aldermen. The ordinance
goes into effect on Aug. g.
The new ordinance provides better
safeguards for the patrons Of moving
picture theaters by laying down string
ent requirements concerning the con-
struction and fireproofing of the build
ings in which moving pictures are ex-
hibited The new regulation permits
an increase in the seating capacity
from the limit of 300 at the present
time to 600, 20 per cent of whom may
be seated in the gallery, provided the
building is erected on a twenty-foot
lot.
The ordinance was passed after Wig
orous opposition of the board of alder
men for many months, and repeated
urging by the mayor. Many moving
picture building projects have been
delayed in anticipation of the Folks
ordinance The additional seating ca
pacity allowed will be welcomed by
many exhibitors who up to the pres
ent have been limited by the law TO
300, but who have the room for many
more.
