TOT the season of 1913-1914 the names and addresses of twenty-four game raisers who in that season set seventy-five thou san pheasant hens. Don't get the idea that this is a typographical error. The figure is 75,000.
 On the other hand, as soon as the suc- cessful rearing of pheasants was assured In the United States, some of the fool game hunters, game commissioners and legislators succeeded in having several states enact laws prohibiting their do- nestle rearing and handling. The result IS that 1t Is taking us a painfully long period Of time to put upon a solid foun- dation an industry that England made a success in ten years. It is due s0ely to private industry that we have the ring neck in America.
 The States that interfered with Chinese pheasant culture have in the main seen the light and 1t is now permissible to rear the birds in most States. There are still some fowl laws to be repealed, but as they are not enforced it is not a matter of immediate moment One such law was passed by the State of New York It permits rearing and sale of pheasants in ".

1sible Game Law Su69ested at Last

Chinese ring-neck resident of this coun- try. That required private enterprise. An American official resident in China be- came acquainted with this bird and brought some to tnis country
 The bird was then unknown to this country and on that account there were no fool game laws to prevent raising the birds. He raised many. Most of these he liberated in Washington and Oregon, and as a result those States are now we'll stocked. England is ahead of the United States and Canada in many respects, one of which is game legislation.
 In England wild game hunting is only allowed under regulations made by Parlia- ment, but all the game laws of England expressly provide it shall be legal for any person to raise, ship, sell and kill game for pleasure or profit The English sport ing fraternity learned of the success of the ring-neck experiment in Oregon and immediately undertook their propagation.
 To-day the pheasant population of Eng land Is twice as great as the human popu- lation of that island, and the secretary of the Field Sports and Game Guild" of Eng land and Scotland gives in its directory

 A man will protect his money, and fl his money is invested in quail he will pro. tect he quail. It was Buffalo Jones whe saved the buffalo in this country, because he bought few specimens and kept them for their increase. It is not always the hunter that kills and exterminates game. Disease, starvation and lack of proper care is the biggest factor in game destruc- ton. In wild state 1t is estimated that 1t required all North America to support two hundred thousand Indians, and 1t is estimated the population of this continent was two. hundred thousand when Colum- bus discovered 1t. But civilization and comfort enable more people to live in a given territory than can live in the same territory in savagery. What is true of human beings is true of game
 Also, the time Is rapidly passing when farmers who own and cultivate the land will tolerate laws made solely to permit some loafer with gun to tear down fences destroy crops, shoot domestic ami mals, kill human beings and outrage gen. erosity for the purpose of calling himself a sportsman and killing game that the farmers land has protected and the farp1r CTS grain has fed.

which Is as follows: Chickens were origi- nally a wild bird. The habitat of the chicken is very limited. It consisted of a strip of territory bordering on the Medi- terranean Sea on the southern border of Europe, the western border of Asia, and part of the northern shore of Africa.
 The chicken was not domesticated until after the coming of Christ. Then we learn from Clixtus that a certain fowl very shy of mankind was brought to Athens and after three seasons reared progeny. Since then the chicken has be- come the most numerous of all birds. If laws were to be enacted protecting chick ems from hunters and butchers and for bidding their ownership and rearing by private industry there would not be a chicken in existence in five yearA
 Some contend that if private ownership, sale and killing of any game birds Is per mitted, it will accomplish destruction of that bird by affording game hunters an opportunity to kill the wild game and palm it off on the public as domestic stock. The Chinese ring-neck pheasant is not native of this country. All the game laws devised would not make the

We should accept and adopt them. man slips his shirt over his head We should be able to get into our garments in the same way In my studio and at home or for evening wear, l usually wear a cos tune that I can slip over my head. This robe Is made of one long, broad piece of cloth. An opening Is cut in the middle for the neck. The selvedged edges are joined at the side by 8 seam. leaving long opening for the arms.

 My own conception of universal cos tune for women is combination of Greek and Turkish apparel. The Greek costume Is beautiful because it serves the two pur-
  and floats. It gives woman the sense Of being hidden in her robe, and this sense is peculiarly agreeable to woman, especially if she be plentifully rounded one. Nothing lovelier, so far as intrinsic beauty goes, was ever devised than the early Greek robes, for all women For even the over plump woman looks as we'll in them as she does in the present re- vealing fashions.
 But advise a combination of the Greek with the Turkish accessories. l do not care for the upper part of the Turkish garments. They are too heavy and bur densome about the shoulders. I eliminate their robes from all my plans for dress, but I do earnestly advocate the neither garments. The Turkish pantalettes are beautiful and comfortable. They are much more practicable than the skirts of the day, because they are closed at the ankles. No need to fear rheumatism, ye who wear them.
 "A Greek tunic reaching to the ankles at the sides, and below the knees in front, with a pair of Turkish pantalettes, is combination that is beautiful and practical. A tunic of satin and pantalettes of velvet would be charming for Winter. An extra tunic could be worn for warmth.

Is the End Of the War Nearingl

From all Sides and from all varieties Of
sources, come expressions of belief that some
thing is about to happen that will bring us near
to the end of the great European war. Just
what is the foundation of this expectation, or
with what weight Of authority these limitations
are backed, Is not clear but the predictions Of
an early close Of the fierce conflict are coming
thicker and faster.
II goes without saying that the war must see
a finish In due course of time and that the COM
batants must have demonstrated to their own
satisfaction that neither side can be whipped or
blotted off the face OF the earth. To that extent
conditions must be more propitious toward peace
parieys whenever the opening for them may
come than at any time since the outbreak. That
the peace of Europe was seriously threatened
was regarded by people generally as a more pre-
posterous prospect one week before the confla-
grafton blazed forth in all its fury than now the
proposition that peace could as suddenly be re-
stored within week or month. That explains
why every harbinger Of peace is eagerly well
coined as a help toward the triumph of our
hopes over our fears

No other festival or holiday OF the Christian
church is fraught with the deep and all-pervad-

the resurrection Is welcome for its material as
we'll as its spiritual promise Its symbolism is
not exclusive to the church. for the pagan world
as we'll shares in the message OF the day. To
the Christian It typifies the foundation of his
faith; to the pagan the rebirth Of nature is sig
nificant of the triumph Of life over death
The procession OF the seasons is immutsble,
recurring with such precision as to time that the
date Of passage from one to the other is perma-
nently fixed upon the calendar. Yet, for all the

through all recorded time, the phenomena Of
springtime are ever new. Nature in her many
ways makes an irresistible appeal to mans i'm
agination, and provides thus a stimulsnt for his
spiritual aspirations. In contemplation Of the
marvels Of the visible world, the mind loses
itself In admiration but at no time is this 80 i'm

spring, man aotes the almost insensible but
wholly marvellous processes of birth and re-
