The report that rabbits and quail
are more numerous in lower Delaware
than in several years past, proves the
claim that the game needs protection
from the irresponsible gunner For
two years the license required for any
and all men who gun off their own
property, prevented hundreds from
tramping over fields and shooting in
discriminatory to determination of the
birds, rabbits and squirrels, and the
farmers generally posted their lands
against all cunning during that time,
with the result that game increased
and multiplied rapidly. It was the
pot hunter, or the trespassing hunter,
and not the farmers who raised the
great objection to the required license
laws. The men who gun for sport
only, made no objection to the law,
for they knew that the game would
be more plentiful with a license which
would effectively stop the extermina-
tion Of game. 1t will not be long be- |

London.-During their war with

piled with waders made of mulberry
leaf as a protection against injury
to health caused by wet feet in the
trenches. Particulars now come OF
an improved form of wader. Of British
invention. The new wader Is made OF
a fibrous substance much cheaper
than mulberry leaf. It Is light. warm.
waterproof. antiseptic. and impervi-
Gus to attack by insects. A pair OF
waders made Of this material weighs
about two and one-half ounces. The
waders are made in two sizes-me-
dunn and large. The wader Is kept IN
position by buttons or braces. For
occasions like q bayonet charge. when
the utmost freedom for the leg ana
foot is necessary, the portion OF the
wader worn over and above the knee
would be turned down.

COOKED IN TALLOW
German Soldiers Make Potato
FIapjacks in Trenches.
Prefer Wet Feet to Missing Their
Crisp and Delicate "Puffers"-com-
pany Barracks Built Entire
ly Underground.

Berlin.-German soldiers In the
trenches have discovered a new deli
cacy. According to letter written by
the cook of a company, the human
moles prefer potato pancakes to any
other dish the kitchen Is able to fur
nish. They are bound to have their
buffers" as they call them, and they
are willing to forego the pleasure Of
chewing embalmed beef as long as
they may enjoy the crisp napjacks,
consisting of mashed potatoes and
something which tastes almost like
lard.
But. while potatoes are plentiful.
there Is sometimes scarcity Of lard.
One day when the whole company
was clamoring for potato pancakes.
and not a chunk of lard could be found
for miles around, not even with the
help of a military searchlight, the cook
espied an orderly sergeant dealing out
tallow for greasing the boots.
HALT" the cook commanded, seiz-
ing the tallow. There were protests
on the part of the soldiers. Boots
should be well creased when the
trenches are half filled with water.
DO you want dry feet or potato pan
cakes?" the cook demanded.
Give US potato pancakes, never
mind our feet" the answer came in
unison.
So the cook fried hapjacks in the
grease that was destined for boots.
How did they go?" asked the cap
tain, after the last Of the cakes had
disappeared. Fine" every soldier an
