Good Days Coming for the Deer
Hunter.

Deer hunters In the Empire State
will have nm extra day to pursue
bucks this season by reason of II wise
provision Of the game laws which
states that when the first day of the
open season falls on Sunday the sea-
son shall be deemed to begin on the
preceding Saturday. A statute such
rs this makes for additional respect
for the game laws.
Old hunters still rccollect when
there were no game laws In the State
Of New York which were enforced.
As n result market hunters, lumber
camps and wolves almost extermi.
mated one Of the finest trophies Of the
woods. Making II harder for the mar
ket hunter to kill indiscriminatcly
and as many as fell before his gun ;
prosecuting owners Of lumber camps
who employed gunners to furnish
them meat cheaply putting upon the
statute books laws limiting the kill
for each individual hunter. all helped
in their way to preserve Il n big
game animal. with tho exception Of
the bear. Moose no longer roam the
Adirondacks, hut doubtless some day
hunters may find the elk restored to
give them n holiday in the woods in
autumn or winter.
Sportsmanlike methods, no killing
Of deer in August, no following OF
deer with the aid Of dogs, all Of these
laws were much opposed when first
introduced. Native hunters insisted
they could not get deer without dogs
but when they learned how to still
hunt the most unpop6aar law" found
no more complaints made against It.
And so 1t has been with tho buck
law. This Is the fourth year Of New
York's buck law and the prejudice
against 1t Is dying down rapidly. The
buck law Is based on common sense
principles that obtain on every wei
conducted farm and It safeguards hu
man life in the hunting field. .

the presence Of foreign complications
have forced the people of this coun-
try into a condition Of humiliation
that President WILSON, fortunately
FOR his peace of mind, does not share
with them. He rebukcs u business
men for compelling him TO feel
ashamed Of America for exhibiting
commercial poltroonery. for cravenly
surrendering our inalienable rights
under international usage to en-
terprising foreign rivals. CAn II be
possible that the President, in bring
ing this charge against u captains
Of commerce, was exhibiting playfully

that has been hitherto concealed?
Has he felt no shame for 1.-The fear

 FOR AIRCRAFT I

PARIS, Aug 3-By establishing a new altitude record of l9,530 feet with three passeuErs aboard and a new record of 18,53O feet with two passengers, Aviator Sergeant Etienne Poulet has just wrested the laurel from the Germans
 In establishing this new worlds record for altitude with two pass engers Poulet was obliged to fly in unfavorabIs weather, reaching a height of 18,5SO feet, sufficient to lower 'he 1S,1OOO record held by German Lieutenant Bein
 A few days later, Poulet was blessed with ideal weather and mo- tor conditions With three men aboard; M. ProCst, weighing 145 pounds. M. Ducne weighing 14S pounds and NJ. Taillard weighing 125 pounds, together with 21 pounds of baIalsr, Poulet reached an altitude of 18.53O, taking the previous record of 17,5OO feet from the German flyer Sabatling.
 This leaves the French in pos session of all aviation records pre- ViOusly held by the Germans, 1t is said.
