BIRD LAW TO BE ENFORCED.
sportsmen Warned thar Federal Reg
ulations Must be Obsersad.

With the ara5roach Of the open sea-
son for shooting wild fowl, the Unit.
ed States Department of Agriculture
is warning sportsmen that the federal
regulations as amended Oct. i. 1914,
will be strictly enforced. Some mis-
understanding has arisen from the
fact that the various state laws do
not. always conform to the federal
regulations. This is regarded as un-
fortunate, but in such cases the de-
partment will insist upon the observ-
ance Of the federal regulations.
The department will consider any
recommendations submitted in good
faith for amendment of the regula-
irons, but will hold no public hearings
thereon, nor will it amend the regula-
tions prior to Oct. Is, 1915. 1t is
the purpose of the department to
conform the regulations to the wish
es Of the majority Of sportsmen SO
far as it can be done and at the same
time give wild fowl the necessary pro-
lection.
Federal regulations divide the Unit
ed States into two zones. Zone No.
1, the breeding zone, includes the
states of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado,
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
and all states north Of them. Zone
No. 2, the wintering zone, includes all
states south of those named.
The regulations prohibit the fol-
lowing acts
Killing migratory game birds dur
ing the close season; killing migratory

cranes or any birds Of the snipe and
ployer families (shore birds) except
wood-cock, Wilson or jack-snipe, vel
low-legs and black-breasted and gold
en- plovers, until 1918.
Migratory game birds include
ducks, geese, rails or marsh hens, gal
linules or mud hens, coots or poules
d'eau, Woodeock, Wilson or jacksnipe,

these birds IN Louisiana is Nov. 1 to
Feb. /, except on Woodcock, for
which the open season is Nov. Is to

FIRE LOSS FOR HALF YEAR.
Property Worth Nearly $780, 900
Destroyed in Louisiana.

The fire loss of Louisiana for the
first six months Of 1915 was nearly
IS 1850, 900, according to statement
issued by Fire Marshal G. Fl. Trous-
dale
There were 1348 fires and 319 ex-
posures with property loss of ST.
401, 1926 throughout the state from
January to June, 1915. The fire loss
during this period in New Orleans
was $308,416, the number of fires
629, and the exposures 1875. These
figures include 1914 fires and 20 ex-
posures with a loss of 1922 reported
only by fire insurance companies,
same being small fires of which the
department. had no knowledge.
The loss for Shreveport was $780,
o65 in 50 fires and 80 exposures; Ba-
ton Rouge, S43, ,O56 in 26 fires and 1o
exposures; Lake Charles, $38,894, 4e
fires and 6 exposures; Alexandria
S23, PIT, % fires and exposures, ano
Monroe, $54,629, 66 fires and 28 ex.
posures.
The figures show an increase il
some of the cities, but notable de,
crease for New Orleans when com.
pared with the same period last year
it can be said that the state as 3
whole presents a decrease.
The principal fires during the sly
months was the Alcus box factory
New Orleans, in May, entailing loss
of S99,939; the fire in the lumber
yards of the Lutcher-Moore Cypress
Co, Lutcher, January 22, causing
damage of $34,S53, and the fire o.
the Enders Furniture Co., Shreve
port, February 5, loss $27,284.
Of the number of original fires
the causes of which were ascertained
80 per cent were due to the hazards
of lighting and heating; 22 per cen
to sparks; 90 per cent to fues ant
chimnew; 10 per cent to matches ant

5 per cent to lightning and s per cen
to miscellaneous causes.

THE cLEMENcEAU CASE.
Theda Bara to Be Seen in Famous
Film Tomorrow Night.

Local movie fans who recall Theda
Bara's magnificent Characterization
of the vampire in the remarkable
photoplay, "A Fool There Was will
look forward with keen anticipation
to seeing this beautiful actress in the
leading role of The Clemenceau
Case, another intensely dramatic
film production, which will be shown
at the Grand Theatre tomorrow night.
Most conspicuous Of the good fea-
lures of ssThe Cleneneeau Case" are
the technique and construction of the
picture, the striking beauty Of Miss
Bara in a pantherlsh vampire role,
and the excellent work of the sup
porting cast, including William f..
Shay and little Jane Lee. The latter
is real emotional actress. She
weeps genuine tears and laughs as on
ly little child can. and changes from
one mood to another with a degree of
temperament worthy of a full-fedged
star.
"The Clemenceau Case" has a
strong story and the leading part fits
Miss Bara like the proverbial wet
glove. Miss Bara plays LA, whose
sinister beauty mars the life of two
men. LA casts of Pierre Glemen-
ceau, her husband, to trife with other
men, thus wrecking his career as a
sculptor.
Miss Bara, as always, is a strik-
ing vampire. William E. Shay is the

LAssEN VOLCANO NOW SAFE
California Peak Has Spent Most o
Its Energy Investigators Say.

Lassen volcano, California, spent
most of its energy in its violent erup-
tions of last May, according to re-
ports received by the Forest Service,
and it is believed there is little likeli-
hood of further destructive outbreaks.
Since the upheavals Of May 20 and %,
the volcano has been under the obser-
walton Of officers Of the Lassen Ma
tional Forest, in which the peak
stands, and for the last month a
volcanologist of the U. S. Geologl-
cal Survey has been making scientl-
fc study of the mountain.
The Investigations have confirmed
the opinion that the eruption of two
months ago, when a river OF mud
was blown out of the north side Of
the crater and down Hat Greek with
considerable damage to government
and private property, was caused by
the melting of the snow on the peak,
the snow water running into the era
ter and being converted by the molten
| lava into steam. Although it is pos
sible the volcano is simply conserv-
| ing it's energy for another outbreak,
the indications are, according to the
government volcanologist on the
ground, that no further eruptlons are
likely to occur, at least until next
spring when another influx OF snow
water may cause slight disturbance.
| The first authentic report of the
damage done by the eruptions of last
May shows that early reports were
greatly exaggerated. Forest rangers
who have made careful survey OF
the neighborhood of the volcano and
| have made ascents to the rim Of the
crater, report that the total extent OF
government land rendered useless by
mud and lava is somewhat less than
1000 acres, and that of the privately
owned land rendered useless less than
/ 1000 acres, comprising all told the
grazing range of about 220 cattle
/ In addition, by reason OF temporary
Injury tor other areas, range has mac
to be provided for about S0O cattle
4 which were grazed near the mountain
| Inasmuch as some $4,000 cattle ane
100000 sheep are grazed on the Las
/ sen forest every year, this curtail
| ment of the range, according to the
| Forest Service, is almost negligible.
/ The forest officers on the ground es
innate that the timber destroyed bs
the eruption amounted to about L
4 million board feet. Photographs tax

A POINTED REMINDER.
Completion of Another Link of Inter-
9oastal Canal Celebrated.

The Assumption Pioneer had the
following to say in its issue of last
Saturday:
Lake Charles celebrated last Mon
day the completion of the intercoastal
canal connecting it with Beaumont,
Texas. This link being completed,
connects Lake Charles, Beaumont,
Port Arthur and Orange, Texas, by a
water course which will bring these
cities closer together than ever before
and give them water communication
that will increase the business of each
place. This celebration should re-
mind the people of this and adjoining
parishes that the intercoastal canal
when surveyed by the United States
engineers contemplated the joining
of the Rio Grande at Brownsville,
Texas, with the Mississippi river via
Bayou Lafourche at Donaldsonville.
With the placing of locks in Bayou
Lafourche, the route from Morgan
City would require but nominal cost
to make this link the most beautiful
and most practical in the entire length
of the inland waterway. The water
route between Morgan City and Don.
aldsonville is completed today, and
with little dredging and widening
of some few miles, the route would be
perfect.
Locks in Bayou Lafourche are not
near as costly a proposition as some
of the opponents to the building OF
locks claim. The United States en-
gineers have given estimates which
show that locks can be built fol
about half million dollars. When il
is remembered that the levee boards
have spent nearly that sum in fur.
nishing pumps to put fresh water IN
Bayou Lafourche and in doing various
other work, it is not convincing ar,
gument for them to claim that this
amount cannot be raised. The Unit.
ed States government, besides, mas
promised it's assistance.

Increase in Corn Acreage.

The crop report issued July IS
shows an increase in corn acreage OF
SIS per cent for the entire country
over that of 1914; 1925 per cent in
crease in twelve southern states; and
20 per cent increase in Louisiana.
The corn club boys of Louisiana who
produced an average of SIS bushels
per acre in 1918 and As bushels II
1914 probably deserve some of the
credit for this increase in corr
acreage. They have demonstrated
that by proper methods of seed selec'
ton, cultivation and fertilization the
Weld per acre can be increased ano
neighboring farmers are profiting by
their example.
