were more than 100000 persons who

At South Beach. Midland Beach, and

was also a noticeable decrease in bath

LEGAL SIZES FOR FISH.

Inquiries indicate that there are
many who do not understand the ex-
act significance and necessity of the
six-inch law for brook trout and of
similar regulations regarding the size
at which other species may be taken.
Until an individual of a given
species has reached the prescribed
size it has never spawned, and if all
the individuals were caught before
they had arrived at the spawning
age it is perfectly plain that the COM
plete determination of the species
would be matter Of only short
time. 1t is therefore to the interest
of every angler to see that under
sized fish are not destroyed. Every
food and game fish should have a
chance TO spawn at least once before
being taken.

Weather, books and roads contribute
largely to the influences OF rural life.
Bad weather and bad roads mean
books.

PLANES WITH CLIPPED WINGS
French Aviators Are Compelled to
Learn Flying on "RoIIers"
and "Penaulns."

After | had received my prelimi-
nary instruction in the construction
Of Newport machines (fast scouting
aeroplanes Of French service) and
the technique Of handling them, |
was put on a machine called the
"roller" and given my first instruc-
tion in steering.
The roller is simply a Newport
whose wings have been cut down to
such an extent that it will not rise
except for perhaps a foot or so in
great burst Of speed. 1t runs almost
like motorcar. BY its use one de-
,yelops the instinct for steering in a
straight line and for turning. 1t is
really much harder to steer a roller
along the ground than to steer real
machine in the air. The contact
with the earth is always twisting and
turning it in the craziest fashion. BY
the time one has finished his course
on the roller he understands hori,
zontal steering and knows something
about the management of his engine.
Perpendicular steering, which is
more important, of course, comes
when he is promoted to penguin"
This is complete machine, except
that the engine Is so weak as not to
permit it to rise more than 25 or 80
feet. On it the student aviator prac.

In rural districts as far as social and
commercial conditions are concerned.
Poor roads seem to be his heritage, his
master.
A country's stability is measured by
its agricultural Importance. as the
well being of nation is like tree
agriculture is its root: industry and
commerce are its branches and its life.
If the root be injured the leaves fall.
the branches break away and the tree
dies. Community pride begins where
agriculture leaves off. and both are

lance to a healthy. happy, successful
existence for man.
Blue Grass Roads Are Best.
1t is pleasure to drive through the
blue grass district of Kentucky. where
they have what they call macadam-
lied turnpikes. These roads are the
equal of any paved city street and
Of course are passable at all seasons
of the year. They cost approximately
$1,000 per mile. The highways in Ken
lucky are from thirty to sixty feet In
width. 1t Is estimated that were the
highways OF Illinois regulated to fifty
feet S25.OO0.O00 could be added to the
wealth Of the farmers Of the state.
That alone would build more than 5000
miles of road.
Spend s1so,ooo.ooo.
q This country today has about 2.2J0.-
900 miles Of public highway. on which
1t is estimated that the people Of the
country are spending S150.000.000 an
nually. Statistics say we also spend
s.. OO0. 100000 for alcohol. $1,000. 000.O0O
for tobacco. and It is said that the
Indies spend S365.OOOO00 yearly for
candy. II all this money could be ap-
propriated for road building we could
have turnpike to the moon.
The principal cause Of the Roman
empires downfall was its neglect OF
agriculture-the exodus of its men and
women from the farm TO the city. the
life there to be spent In extravagant
and riotous living. Go TO any Of our
cities today and view the extravagant
dress and general trend Of life for
pleasure and you will feel that the old
Roman times are being repeated.
II would seem that the remedy lies
in building good roads. narrow If ad-
