Methodist Pastor Says Indi-
vidual Must Solve Amuse-
ment Problem for Self.

Whether a Christian should dance,
go to the theater. or play cards is a
matter that should be left to the in
dtvidual conscience. declared Rev. c.
c. Mclean. in discussing at the mid
week service of the Douglas Memorial
NJ. E. Church last night, the recent
action of the general conference in
declining to abrogate the present rule
of the church, prohibiting these amuse-
ments.
He stated that the present rule was
adopted some twenty-four years ago,
replacing Wesley's general rule that
church member should not engage
in any pleasure in the pursuit of
which he could not glorify God; and
that the question whether the church
were better off with this general rule
OF guidance than with specific pro-
hibitions which did not include all
amusements had been carefully con-
sidered by the conference, with sound
arguments advanced on both sides.
He expressed the opinion that ulti-
mately the church would go back to
the old Wesley rule, and that in de-
termining whether we should dance
or attend the theater or play cards,
each person would be governed by
his own conscience, taking into ac-
count the effect such amusements

TRAPPING IS A
PROFESSION

Professional trapping in the noun
tains Of oregon is accompanied by
many pitiful cruelties, according to
A. c. Shelton, field worker in the de-
partment of zoology of the State Uni
versity, who has visited many a line
of traps in his travels in the Cas-
cades and elsewhere, and in his own
trapping for the University's dissect-
ing work and museuml
Pine squirrels, flying squirrels and
rabbits frequently get caught in traps
set for fur-bearing animals. The
squirrels are usually eaten by foes
before the trapper gets around. Mr..
Shelton has found dead rabbits held
to the traps merely by pieces of skin,
showing how desperate had been
their struggles to escape.
one oregon trapper when he finds
live skunks in the traps leaves them
to starve rather than shoot them and
take them out
Mink and marten often cut them
selves loose by gnawing of their legs
on the south fork of the Mckenzie
river Mr.. Shelton found a coyotes
leg, eaten off just below the should
er, In n trap. Three weeks later the
same animal was found In another
trap, caught by it's other front leg.
A wildcat In n "toggle" trap has
TO stay until it's captor makes lisure-
ly arrival. The "toggle" Is set in
pen. A FIR limb with part of the
branches cut is fastened 10 the trap,
and as the animal tries TO crawl away
the branches get fast and hold Il.
The interval between visits to
traps Is anywhere from two days 10
two weeks.
The spring pole trap makes death
a little easier. A sapling is bent
down and fastened lightly over log.
The captured animal is swung into
the air when the fastening breaks
and then II cannot bite itself free.
Death comes more quickly than on
the ground.
Water animals sometimes have the
easiest deaths. A sliding wire Is at

tached beneath the water at point
where the trap is to be set, and the
other end is fastened TO rock, which
is thrown into deep water. In the
wire are little loops. The ring Of
the trap chain is slipped over the
wire. The trapped mink, otter or
beaver swims for deeper water,
dragging the trap. Choking, It tries
to rise for air, but the wire loops
hold the trap chain and the animal
browns.
80 long as trapping is permitted,
there probably will be no remedy for
the cruelty of IT," said Mr.. Shelton.
Whenever possible use the drown
ing method. but often the habits of
the animal require the spring pole or
ground trap plan"
