constitute OF the blacklist pages In natural
history. The only redecmng feature of more
than century of this slaughter was the occa-
sonal protest Of some wise beyond his times
who ventured TO predict what in our day have
actually come to pass the practical denud-
ing of this wonderfully rich game country
In 1900 the Lacey act passed by Congress
prohibiting the shipment of game from one state
10 another if its sale illegal in either state
OF shipment that of consignment. 1t went a
long way toward preventing dealers in game in
large cities from raking the few remaining states
that had a fair abundance of wild life for the
remainder of their store.
In 1886 Massachusetts, passed law prohibiting
the sale of wild game, and to-day fortysix Of her
sister states and most OF the Canadian provinces
have followed the excellent example she has set.
Slowly but surely, these three major causes and
a number Of minor ones have been making them
selves felt until to-day progressive sportsmen are
seeking to repopulate depleted game covers the
country over. The development Of the refuge or
sanctuary idea has fallen into two principal chan
ncls In states these tracts are compare
lively few, but of large area, while in others they
are OF smaller and apportioned at the rate of
practically one sanctuary for each county.

Only Ten Per Cent of the Nations
Wild Creatures Now Exist as
Compared with Abundance
Of a Few Decades Ago.

country stands upon the threshold OF an era OF
great development in game breeding and pre-
serving
It was pretty generally agreed that the saw
ing Of the remnant of game birds and mann
mails OF America, estimated at 10 per cent OF
the number which existed at the time OF great
est abundance, can be accomplished only
through the provision of refugees or sanctuaries
for wild life and the adoption OF means OF
forced production through the medium OF the
game farm.
The net result of the conference was its in
corporation as department OF the American
Game Protective Association so as TO make IT
a continuing body. Annual gatherings will be
a feature and subsections on the breeding OF
quail, ducks, pheasants, deer and other desir-
able species will be formed and placed in
charge of committees Of experts in their re-
spective lines, which will be expected to gather
data from experiments that are continually
going on and increasing in scope, and report
this at the annual meeting.

BROOKLYN DEALERS
TO HOLD AUTO SHOW
Will Utilize 23d Regiment
Armory During Week
of March 2 to 9.

After lying awake nights for some
time and especially after watching the
success scored by nearly every organi-
cation represented at the New York
show the Brooklyn automobile men
have decided TO revive their big exhibit
tiOn in the 23d Regiment Armory and
have definitely fixed on d renewal dur
ing the week Of March to 9.
The 1915 display will be, as usual,
under the auspices Of the Brooklyn
Motor Vehicle Dealers Association. A
meeting Of the association was held on
Friday. and it was decided to place the
MANAGEMENT Of the show in the hands
Of Charles A. Stewart, general manager
OF the New York dealers organization.
Last season the Brooklyn dealers did
not hold an exposition of cars, and II
soon became evident TO many members
of the association that the lack of this
show was felt in more ways than one.
In the past the displays in the ar
morv have been we'll attended not only
by Brooklyn people, but also by resi-
dents Of other parts of Long Island.
During the nights of previous Brooklyn
shows hundreds Of Automobiles from
various sections of Long Island and
New York City have visited the ar
mory.
The spacious floor of this building
lends itself well to the display of auto
mobiles, and visitors are afforded an
opportunity 20 see the cars to better
advantage than at the New York show,
in which the cars are more closely
grouped.
Coming in the early spring, when
automobiles are thinking about buy
ing cars for immediate use, the Brook
lyn show is even better timed than the
national exposition in January. Fur
thermorc. many visitors at the New
York show have been considering the
purchase Of certain cars which ap-
healed TO them at that show, and by
The time the Brooklyn show rolls
around and they feel like motoring
again their minds will have been made
up.
Plans are being formulated for the
decoration Of the armory, which Will
be on an elaborate scale. lnasmuch
as so many OF the Brooklyn dealers are
sub-agents of New York concerns, the
show in the City Of Churches will have
the support Of practically the entire
New York trade.

Dealer Suggests Remain:

| NEW TYPE OF MOTOR
THREATENS MARKET
Local Motor Men Visit Boston
for Annual Dinner of Bay
State Auto Club.

While the snow swrled through the
streets on Wednesday afternoon a
group of automobile men sat table
in the Motor Club on Central Park
South, and talked of the summer that
must follow this most unreasonable
winter. Came up that fruitful topic,
the Motor Boosters outing, the one
time in the year when most of the
habitu&s of the Row forget business
in favor Of frolic in the country.

Several local men, prominent in the
automobile trade, visited Boston yes
terday to be present last night at the
annual dinner OF the Bay State Auto
mobile Club, held at the Hotel Lenox.
The affair was in the nature of beef
steak dinner, knives, forks and spoons
being dispensed with, and the diners
wore butchers aprons and caps. One
of the club officials reports that the
supply of butchers apparel was low In
BOSTON, and that New York was called
upon for assistance, which IS probably
some sort of Boston comedy. Or maybe
its the truth.

ZIEGLER TO SELL CARS
Two Sunbeams in String Soon
To Be DISPOSED Of.

Discouraged by the hard luck which
has followed him persistently since his
debut in the automobile racing game,
William Ziegler, jr., for years hacker
Of speed cars, has quit the sport and
has offered his machines for sale.
Ziegler was hooded, it seems, almost
before he started. Marquis, driving
one Of his cars in the 1914 Vanderbilt
contest, hit the ditch when leading the
field at eighty-seven miles an hour.
Chassagne overturned in the 1914 Ind
annapolis 500-mile race. and, finally,
Grants car, when running better than
ninety miles an hour in the last race
at Corona, caught fire and was forced
out of the contest.
All of Ziegler's cars are in the best
of condition, particularly two Sun
beams, which, because they measure
only 273 cubic inches piston displace-
ment, are eligible for the next Indian
apolis 500-mile race. II is thought Zieg-
Ter will have little trouble in disposing
Of his machines. They are at present
in this city.

MOTOR BOAT SHOW
WEIGHS ANCHOR
Last Day Sees Biggest
Crowd of Week in
Garden.

When the curtain was rung down at
the close Of the Motor Boat Show in
Madison Square Garden last night the
largest crowd Of the week was taking
q final look at the boats, which at
tracted thousands to the Garden during
the last eight days. This record
breaking crowd was gratifying, not
only to the management, but 70 the ex-
hibitors, as well, as the weather on
other days of the show had been the
worst in the history of the Gardens
exhibitions.
Despite this fact, however, thousands
visited the display every day of the
shows duration. The crowd was one
that paid for admission, and actually
bought boats, engines and other Access
series, and paid deposits on them.
The only complaint the management
and exhibitors had yesterday was that
too many persons wanted to see the
show in one day.
Hundreds Of workmen will be busily
engaged to-day in preparing the ex-
hibits for shipment 70 Chicago, where

Increase to $500 Cars An
nually Is Planned by
the Franklin
COMPANY.

Confidence in the future and an In
dication of renewed business activity
are reflected particularly in the auto
mobile industry, where there is every
expectation of large increase in bust
ness in the spring. The buying senti-
ment expressed by the interest in the
New York and Chicago shows, to
great extent, is responsible for this up
ward movement.
The Franklin Automobile Company,
of Syracuse, has just made known It's
plans to increase its production to 3,6OO
cars a year. Material is now being re-
ceived TO take care OF this 40 per cent
increase over last year, and later, 1t is
stated. the production rate Will be IN
creased to 1000 cars year.
More than 200 passenger cars and
trucks are listed in the twelfth an
nual handbook just issued by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce. This handbook is the authority
on the products of American automo-
bile manufacturers. 1t gives illustra-
tons and specifications of the various
models Of the leading producers IN
way that renders comparison easy ana
accurate. Copies of the handbook are
on sale at the Offices Of the n. A. A. y.
Simplicity Of the motor and chassis
is among the features OF the Mack one
and two ton worm drive trucks recently
brought out by the international Motor
Company. Access TO the working parts
of the motor is so unrestricted that IN
case of difficulty on the road the con-
Meeting rod and piston of any cylinder
NAV be taken out Of the motor, the
crank case replaced and the journey
finished on the remaining cylinders.
The design Of the new trucks was
adopted only after a long period OF re-
search.

Happenings of Interest
Along Automobile ROw

some time during 1916. The New York
concern has waited for weeks for a
shipment of six cars which, having
been manufactured IN Antwerp, were
sent to Brussels TO be fitted with bod
les. Appeals to the State Department
at Washington and the American Con-
sui in Antwerp have failed TO bring
any response, and with the Germans in
complete control of Brussels none is
expected.
When Howard Davis, of the Lyons
knight Company, decided last summer

of his friends warned him against any
domicile that would afford a chance
for the entry Of water to the cellar
during the rainy seasons. So the
crafty Howard took house on top of
a hill. Thus far he has not had drop
of water in the cellar. Last week,
however, he ordered four additional
tons of coal, making twenty-five in all
since the cold weather came last fall.
He is busily engaged trying to figure

FORD EMPLOYEES TO
co into ATHLETICS
Will Organize Club Likely
to Become a Strong
Local Factor.

Employees of the Ford Motor Com
pany, Of New York and nearby dis
tricts, have been invited to meet In
Long Island City on Monday, February
Is, for the purpose of organizing an
athletic association that will properly
represent in this territory the great or
ganization built up in Detroit by Henry
Ford.
CASTOR Plaintiff, Eastern representa-
tive of the company, has offered a gold
medal for the best name for the new
athletic club, and the decision will rest
upon the verdict of number Of sport
ing editors who have been invited to
help in the task Of organization.
There is little doubt that the Ford
club will become one of considerable
importance in the local field. There
are number Of we'll known athletes
in the Long Island City force, and
their strength will be augmented by the
employees at the various sale branches
which include the forces in New York
Brooklyn and Newark.
Il will be decided at the meeting
whether or not the membership shall
be confined to employees who have been
with Ford for stated length of time
or shall be open TO all Ford men, what
ever their terms Of service.
Major Charles <. Dieges and a num-
Der Of others who have been influential
in athletics in the metropolitan district
have been invited to be present to lend
their counsel in the direction of sue
cess for the embryonic athletic club.
1t has been decided that the big cele-
bration next June, in honor of Henry
Ford, will be given under the auspices
CT the new organization.

GOOD HIGHWAY TO
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Maryland Supplies the Last
Link in Much Desired
Route.

The national capital and New York
City are at last linked together by a
good highway. The completion Of the
short stretch OF road between Principle
Furnace and North East. Md, makes it
possible, for the first time. for motor
lists 10 travel between the two cities
over nearly perfect roadway. This
part of the route would have been COM
pleted last year but for a relocation
which was not contemplated when the
contract was first let Another yeloca-
ton was made near kluEsvIlle which
materially improves this route by the
elimination Of two hills.
Iranscontinental tourists who plan
10 use q Southern route one way will
md that a great deal Of work has been
done during 1914 and that much better
conditions prevail than is generally
imposed. The Observation-Disclosures
Atlanta route is completed except for
TWO miles Of road between Pohick and
Lawton and about eight miles in Prince
William County.
While no state. county or federal
funds are available 10 complete this
road, the automobile clubs Of Virginia
ale raising money by private subscrip-
tons, and the road will be in good con-
dition before summer The United
States Office Of Public Roads has under
taken the maintenance of this section,
and has appointed three OF its enCi-
neers TO advise as TO the best means
for keeping it in good condition.
Until such time as the two links in
Virginia are completed, motorists will
probably use the Shenandoah Valley.
The Valley Pike between Winchester
and S.aunton has been much improved
during 1914, and is now in better con-
dition than ever before. Connecting
with this pike, the stone road through
