According to rules Of the 1ew west
ern classification, No. SO, received at
the railroad Offices at this city a
change has been made regarding the
shipment Of automobiles. Heretofore
it has been necessary to drain auto
tanks before they are shipped, now
under the new ruling If the tank is in
good condition and secured against
leakage at the outlet it will not be
necessary to drain it before shipping.
Such tank will be considered a
proper shipping container. The new
rule will find favor with many local
dealers and auto owners.
These rules have been made neces-
sary on account of the number Of
gasoline accidents during the last
quarter. Automobile men in draining
tanks have been careless In the use
of lanterns and several serious acct
dents have occurred.
Gasoline accidents are numerous
Empty tank cars, which have con-
tanned gasoline and are still placard-

through carelessness. A colored brake
man climbed to the dome of such a

Warden Says In His
Letter.

Deputy Game Warden Henry F
Reichman Of this city is In receipt oil
a letter from state Game Warden Hin
shaw with a request that he tender q
circular letter attached to the press
of the city, that it may be read by all
citizens as a warning against violating
the laws of shooting migratory birds
at this season of the year. Mr.
shaw refers to the government law as
unjust and states that the department
of which he is the head is working
towards an amendment
The letter is as follows:
To the Sportsmen Of Iowa:
There has been so much agitation
and so many different rumors con.
corning the killing Of migratory birds,
and so many inquiries ara coming to
this department, that we find it 1eces-
sary to issue this circular letter, set
ting forth the facts
The government law prevents the
killing of migratory birds during the
spring season. There Is considerable
agitation to have these rulings amend
ed to give the sportsmen OF Iowa
some shooting during the time when
it is possible for them to see few
ducks This department Is in favor
Of an amendment to that effect and is
working along that line, but nothing
can be- done to change the rulings and
regulations this year but believe by
another year full arrangements will
be made, and if the migratory bird
law shall have been declared constitu-
tional. rulings will SO be changed. as
to, in reasonable way, equalize the
shooting between the different sec
tons of the Unitee States. Because
a law is unjust, Is not sufficient rea-
son for violating the same. and we
advice that the sportsmen live UP

ment. and instead Of showing antago-
nism by violations, put our efforts to
have them so amended SO they will be
just.
There is no sport connected with
hunting or fishing contrary to law.
A person so hunting Or fishing does
not enjoy doing so to sufficient ex-
tent to warrant violating law or lay
ing themselves liable to prosecution
and the detrimental effects Of laying
themselves liable to prosecution, and
the detrimental effects of the same.
Let us all be clean in this matter
and abide by the rules and laws as
they exist and our plea for a change
will have much more weight than
they will if we show open aatagonism
in violating the law. II we are right
in our contention, which we fully be-
lieve We are, we viii get what is COM
ing to us by concerted action along
that line. In the meantime, let us all
be clean sportsmen.

itabie agencies which supply cheer for
the homeless and forlorn united to
might in declaring there is far less
poverty than there was year ago.
Stocks of food which had been provided
for the usual Christmas dinners were
more than sufficient and the surplus
Win be distributed among the poor.
There was greater call for clothing
than for food So many garments
have been sent to Belgium that not
enough are left to supply the needy
here. it was reported. Most of those
who applied today were aged and in
firm. 1t was said there was no lack
of employment for those willing and
able to work.
Prediction was made at the post
office that when the figures are COM
piled it will be found all records have
I been iuOken in the sale of stamps TO
carry gifts and in the shipment OF
/ Christmas packages by parcel post.
| Carriers toiled all day delivering be-
lated presents.
All over the city there were dinners
and trees for the poor. There were
toys for every child overlooked by
Santa Claus. Hospitals, orphanageS
alsmhouses and even penal institutions
were not without their share Of the
holiday spirit.
Christmas day brought the an
nouncement that architects have beer
commissioner to prepare plans for a
monument to Santa Claus in the form
of a building which will serve as
headuarters in this city for the Inter
national Santa Claus Association. The
structure will eXemplify the spirit OF
