Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-02-11
THE L. $. GAME LAWS.
Department of Agriculture AnnOun
ces That Reports That 1t Will
Wink at Law Violations
Are UnfOunded.

Reports that the federal law for
the protection Of migratory birds
would not be enforced this spring are
declared to be entirely unfounded
and misleading, by the department
Of agriculture in a statement today
calling attention to the fact that
February / marked the end of the
hunting season in most southern
states and practically throughout the
country.
Every effort" it says, SIS being
made to enforce the law so far as the
will permit"
The statement was issued to allay
the misapprehension caused in certain
sections of the country by the clrcu-
lation of reports that the law was not
to be enforced. Another cause of mis-
apprehension, according to the de-
partment, is due to the supposition
that the department could change the
regulations at short notice, but the
law provides that before any propos-
ed change can become effective il
must be published for a period OF
three months. Consequently, it is
stated, it is impracticable to amend
the regulations this spring.
Spring shooting of migratory birds
will not be permitted even in states
where the laws do not so prohibit
The government has supreme conrro
over the shooting of migratory fow
and birds and any violator of the fed
eral law, say officials, will be punish
ed regardless of what the state law
may permit. This means that the
shooting of ducks, for instance, will
be prohibited everywhere this spring
and that hereafter only fall shooting
will be permitted
Under the law spring shooting l:
everywhere prohibited and for thu
first time the birds will have an op
portunity to reach their breeding
grounds without being slaughtered
on the way.
Reports thus far received here in
dictate that water fowl wintered wei
in most parts of the country and, i
the mild weather continues, are like
ly to begin moving northward at ar
early date. The department urge!
that sportsmen cooperate in giving
the birds a complete closed season
this spring, thus allowing them tC
reach their breeding grounds without
the usual slaughter to which they
have been subjected in recent years.

The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been gen.
orally accepted theory that eczema
was disease of the blood. Scientific
investigations have taught us that
eczema is positively a skin disease
and durable through the skin alone.
Meritol Eczema Remedy is applied
directly to the diseased skin. Do
not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. e. j. Parman, Local Agen-
|cy.--Adv. Feb.

Pompons With Beads.

Pretty pompons for slippers are
made in this way: Gather doubled
strip OF chiffon-about three inches
wide when folded-into rosette.
Make a little satin rose of the same
color.
If YOU are not versed in the ways of
making roses from satin, make two
rosettes, as you made the chiffon one,
one smaller than the other, and fasten
them together, and they will look flow
er like.
Use bright crystal beads for the
flower center, and dot beads around
the edges Of the petals of the satin
rose. Pure, clear glass beads give the
best effect, but gold or silver beads
would also be pretty.

pie pattern such as illustrated is best
for the purpose; the design is very
simple and could be sketched on the
linen, or, of course, transfers can be
had of almost any pattern. The size
of the cushion will all depend upon
the size of the chair which it is for;
the back had better be of the same

Only two kinds of stitches are used
in the working Of the design-satin
stitch and outline stitch; they are
very simple to work, as shown in the
small diagrams. The outlining in
black of all the shapes gives an ORR
entail effect to the work, and gives
it a more finished look generally.
Washing silks or threads should bo
bought to work with; il will be found
charming work to do in holiday time
or in odd moments. Any color OF core
liked can be eployed, but perhaps a
blue the same shade as the silk in the
design is preferable.
A cushion made thus would be
greatly appreciated as q gift, for 1t is
a most useful one, particularly when
its position can he regulated to suit
individual needs.

PRETTY ElANTELET FOR BABY
Woman Who Can Crochet Nay SIesse
Hcrscl: or Some Other Mother
WiEh This Garment.

Can YOU make Irish crocheted lace
and have YOU a baby? They're per-
.cctly serious questions, and, however
hey sound, weren't meant TO be funny.
You see, ii you can crochet, you can
make fascinating mantelet for a
baby; but if you haven't the baby
but, of course, how stupid-there is
always somebody else's baby.
And SO, there is need to ask only
one question: Can you crochet Irish
lace? If so. make a twenty-two.inch
square of Irish lace, covered with the
shamrocks and tiny roses. One corner
of the square, however is to be round
cd A straight line of shirring dag
onaliy across this rounded corner anC
{. row. of shirring about the edge OF
the rounded corner itself makes liz
tie cap for the baby. The remaining
three points form the capelike man
telet Crochet scalioped edge on the
mantelet About the diagonal line OF
shirring across the rounded corner put
. band Of ribbon, ending in TiEoon
strings at either side This is tied Il
q bow under the child's chin. For
cool weather the square should be
lined. Litter the crocheting is finished,
before the shirring is put on the man
telet, the lining can be put in. a
heavy soft white wash silk would be
an appropriate lining.
You will have & truly fascinating
mantelet for your baby OF Baby Some
body Else.

Skeleton In Proof,

That California was at one time the
home Of almost every kind OF animal

the ground for a cotton field. One
tusk of the great pig lacks just
fraction of being 10 inches long. The
other is broken.

In view of the constantly increas-
Ning Importance Of the silo for the
preservation Of fodder on the Amer
lean farm. it seems quite appropriate
to call attention to the danger Of
fatal asphyxia which may occur to
workers in filling and emptying silos'
At the Athens (Ohio) State Hospi-
( tai on the morning of September 10,
1914, four members of a squad Of six
men assembled the ladder on the out
side of the silo in question to an
omen door about II feet from the top
and Jumped in, one after another. on
the silage, the level Of which was
about six feet below the doorway.
Within five minutes. as reported the
next two men who assembled shouted
down that the first four looked as
though they were dead. A large
force of workers who were at hand
Immediately assembled the silo. and

above the level Of the silage. hur-

from the institution, all attempts at
resuscitation failed.

was 81 years old and the others So,

helped in filling silos for the past
two or three years. The work in con-

it came in from the blow pipe On
the morning of the fatality the men
had entered the silo but the machine
had not started, and apparently the
men had sat or laid down ON the
silage to wait.

deaths the rest of the workmen be-
gan a thorough investigation into the
causes Of death. A guinea pig was
