Arrangements are being made to
mount for the State Museums collec-
ton of the game of Pennsylvania an
albino doe, the first to be found in the
forests of the State in many years,
which has been turned over to the
State Game Commission by the De-
partment of Forestry. The carcass of
the doe, weighing over 100 pounds, was
found by men in the employ of the de-
partment on one of the fire lanes of
the ole Bull State Forest in Potter
county With exception of the head
the animal was snow white, the head
being white striped with brown. The
animal had been shot some days be-
fore and crawled to the fire lane in an
effort to reach water There is no
clue TO the person who shot the ami
NAL. State game records do not show
any white deer having been shot in
years.
Harrisburg is said to have a large
and growing number of "millionaires"
who were 'let in" on some of the
war stocks" Some of these men are
wearing their honors modestly and
are somewhat embarrassed to know
that they made millions" while
others are having a lot of fun over
what they did not make One man
eravely accepted congratulations on Il
killing" said to have run up around
100000 and another also said to have
done well confessed that he had stayed
in too long and been done himself.
According to officials at the Capitol
the opinion given yesterday by Attor-
ney General Francis Skunk Brown
| that minors coming under the con-
tinuation law may be employed one
week and sent to school the next week
provided they get the required number
| of hours of schooling will simplify
matters for a number of the big steel
and other companies which employ
minors. The plan of alternating the
employment and education was work.
| ed out by one of the companies in the
western part of the State, which fig
ured that 1t could maintain its force
and at the same time give the young
Sters the required time for schooling
by making it week about 1t had been
suggested in some of the earlier an
nouncements about continuation
schools that the children be given
longer periods, but the attorney gen.
eral puts the week as the limit for the
present.
