WILD DUCKS SCARCE.
Hunters at Down-River Points Re.
port Small Success.

Hunters returning from trips to
points down the river after wild ducks
report the birds very scarce and so
far this season the number of birds
killed, it is asserted, has been very
small. even the men who hunt them
for the market having had but little
success. Wild geese are said to be
more numerous and number of them
have been brought home by returning
hunters, but they are now becoming
SO very shy that to get shot at them
is a difficult matter.
old hunters say the continued warm
weather of the fall makes against the
coming of the ducks in any numbers
and they do not look for them until
cold and freezing weather comes, with
northwest gales. The laws of Virginia
and Maryland making the hunting of
ducks from boats propelled otherwise
than by hand d misdeameanor, punish
able by a heavy fine, is being vigor-
ously enforced by game wardens, who
have speedy launches aboard which
they go after violaters of the law.
1t is said that number of arrests
of men shooting from motor boats have
been made recently by the game war
dens along the river.

The exclusive right of the New York

use of the emblem known as the

affirmed the decision of the patent Of

low the John NJ. Given Company to
register trademark with Il pictorial
representation of the traditional wing
ed foot OF Mercury, the messenger OF

The Given corporation had adopted
the trademark in 1910, but it was con-
coded that the emblem of the athletic
club had been in use since 1878
The court finds that the pending ap-
plication of Given was not exempt from

bids the registration of a mark, en-
blem. etc, of any institution, club or
society in use at the passage of the

We are told that the red light con-
ditions are rotten" DIR. Granger said.
There Is at present Il little spasm of
cleaning-up, but We are told that the
vice squad is so pitiably small that it is
impossible for it to do the work. Why
under the sun such small vice squad?
Our local police force is larger per
capita than that of any other city in
the Union Why. then, the small vice
squad? Anti-vice laws are enacted in
order that vice may be made less protita-
BILE, and they are enacted to be enforced.
Why, then, are they not enforced? Again
we say, it is up to the police
