"Just a Woman" Is described as a
play in four acts with an epilogue.
The action of the piece centres about
the steel industry in Pennsylvania.
Through the inspiration OF his ener-
gctic and ambitious wife common
workman of the steel mills rises TO the
position OF the head OF large steel
CORPORATION. AS the years pass he be-
comes u HBuIo VI prominence "'e 'H

anything in her conduct warranting a
divorce. he trumps up charges with
the aid of an unscrupulous detective
agency and brings her to trial for
adultery. The denouement OF the

Made-Harbor Commission Holds
Purse Strings.

An announcement was received In
the city today of the amount OF mon
ey to be expended by the government
during the next year on the construc-
ton of levees along the Mississippi
river in this section. The amount Will
be expended by the Mississippi river
commission and the funds were appro-
priated as a portion of the Rivers and
Harbors appropriation made by con-
gress. The Green Bay levee district
north of this city is not included in
the list of the districts which will
benefit as the Green Bay levee pro-
iect has not been organized and can
not come under the term OF an es-
tablished district.
The Mississippi River commission
which divide the appropriations to
certain needs to better navigation on
the river. approves of the Construc-
ton of the levees. believing that their
construction outlines a permanent
shore and will result in the mainten-
ance of a permanent channel.
The districts benefited and the
amounts awarded were as follows:

birds and game constitute a valuable
article of food. From recreational
standpoint, this resource is Of the

We feel that the failure Of any
American citizen to accord the federal
migratory bird law his most active
support is due either to lack Of infor-
nation or selfishness.
We therefore urge and request all
patriotic citizens to exert their influ-
ence to the utmost to the end that the
incalculable benefits contemplated by
this law, and most specifically accru-
ing to the people under the regulations
Just promulgated be given their moral
support, that the enlightened con-

train so long or SO strenuously as
men, as nature Is unrele. ting and
one OF her demands is that no per-
son should engage in the sort of
physical training that will use up the
supply Of bodily energy, that is re-
CURED for a proper growth of bone
and muscle.
Youth is the growing time; all
exercise should be of the kind to pro-
mote growth rather THAI retard it's
development. The object of physical
training is to bring the body into a
natural and original state Of health
and manly vigor, so that man may
sustain an unusual strain upon his
powers without that injury which is
inseperable from want OI condition.
Regular Training Best.
The popular notion that to train
means the undergoing of all sorts of
hardships in order to increase the
muscular powers for time, with the
result Of undermining and permanent
injury to the constitution in the
future may be dismissed at once as
utterly erroneous. Nothing could be
further from the truth.
There Is no hard, fast and irk-
some adherence necessary, nor is it
imperative that any kind Of course in
gymnastics should be followed to the
letter. in order that good results
might be obtained. They should be
adopted only SO far as they may be
suitable to the constitution and physi-
cal power Of the individual.
Training, though, means above all
things an adherence to regular habits,
regular meals and regular and Judi
tious exercise. A proper attention, in
fact, to what to.eat, drink and avoid,
an abstinence from strong drink and
a virtuous life generally are the chief
attributes.
THE American people are gradu-
ally beginning to realize more than
ever the Importance of e physical
education, and think that the sum-
mer school for physical education that
DR.. Sargent is directing is one Of
the pioneer seats of learning in train
ing folks how to live we'll and right. "

ing the equity or vested rights OF the
people Of the whole country in the
migratory wild life.
Sixth-To submit reasonable, prac-
teal, fair and just regulations that
should invite the support OF all true
conservattonists.
Seventh-To guarantee not only to
the present generation a reasonable
supply Of migratory wild life. but to
so protect 1t that 1t will multiply and
be handed to future generations as
their property and rightful heritage.
The imperative necessity for the en-
actment of the federal migratory bird
law is palpable to every thoughtful
and discerning mind.
Migratory wild life does not even
recognize national, to say nothing OF
state lines. The variability Of the
statutes of the states protecting these
migrants, the lack of uniformity In
these laws, the rapidly with which
the nomadic birds are slaughtered by
voracious annihilators Of wild life in
many of the states to the detriment of
the people at large, compelled the con-
clusion of congress that the exigencies
of the situation demanded federal reg
ulations that would, in reality, save
from determination.
The people of no country have been
so abnndantly blessed with valuable
natural resources as ours.
The American people are VIGOROUSLY
a nation of MASTERS. Only by reason
OF the fact that their natural resources
are fast disappearing have they been
induced to extend even a modicum Of
conservation to these fast-vanishinS
lassets.
Conservation does not mean pre-
venting the use of our natural resour-
ces as a miser would hoard his gold,
but means the wise and careful use of
our national heritage, taking there
from only a sufficient quantity to sup
ply our needs, with the full realiza-
ton that we are trustees for future
generations.
We are convinced that under the
operation of this law, shooting will I'M
prove each year.
