THE STATELY ELK

Now that the buffalo survives only
in a few preserves the elk is the most
interesting as it is the most beautiful
OF our remaining wild animals In
this day of Americanism it would be
q flne thing if this typical American
animal should come to be known by
his indian name of wapiti The wapiti
IS the largest of the red deer family
and closely resembles his smaller
brother, the European stag. The wa
pitt is not properly an elk, astthe .Eu-
ropeanI elk is more closely allied to the
American moose.
The Wapiti is now numerous only in
the states Of Wyoming, Idaho and
montana, though nearly 1000 head
are Thought to remain in Colorado
and considerable numbers are scatter
ed through western Canada. The
Campfire Club of America and other
organizations and individuals are
working for it's preservation The ia
vorite home Of the elk is<the Yellow
stone National park. where he has
no rife to fear and where cougars.
coyotes and timber wolves are kept
under control. I'm the park and its
vicinity are probably 10000 head,
distributed in two main herds.
During the summer months the elk
live high up in the mountains, gem
orally ct an elevation of 5000 to H.
goo feet. The grassy plateaus offer
an ideal summer range. Even on the
wooded sides of the highest rhvines
there are parklike glades where the
elk late in the afternoons come ont
to feed. 1t is difficult to imagine d
more beautiful sight than is then af-
sforded by these Stately and graceful
animals. Although their number IN
the park may sometimes reach as
high as 10000 head, it is rare for Wis
lfors to see a single specimen. \ Visi-
tors are taken in stages around reg
ular route arranged for viewing the
natural phenomena Of that great out
door museum. aggB
The elk dislikes to be pursued by
tourists with cameras and keep away
from the stage routes. II visitors
would leave the highways Of the park
and seek out its byways, either on foot
or by pack and saddle trips, they
would have marvellous opportunity
TO study the greatest exhibit which
survives Of our mountain wild life
not only the elk, but mountain sheen,
deer, beaver and many other animals.

1856 Get WORK
THROUGH BUREAUS
UNDER The STATE

Free public employment bureau fig
ures show that approximately 25,-
8e6 people secured places in Connecti-
cut last year through these bureaus.
This number is more than twice that
of 1915, when IL, 53S people obtained
work through the state bureaus. The
figures, which will appear IN the an
nual report of the labor statistics de-
partment to be printed in the near
future, show that the applications for
help from employers throughout the
state increased more than the app1i-
cations for work, REQUESTS from en-
ployers being more than twice as
large last year as in 1915.
These numbers, according tol the
labor statistics department, would
have been 50lper cent larger had the
requests during the first Of the year
been SO numerous as those received
the last four or five months. AS it
was, the five employment bureaus
conducted by the state received &c.
442 applications for work during 1916
and 32,d3S applications from employ
five bureaus received 21,576 requests
l.
employers.
The greatest gain in securing en-
ployment, was made in the bureau al
Norwich. In 1915, only 644 posi-
tions were filed and 1,005 applica-
tions for work and 1888 applications
from employers received. Last year
#2,313 positions were filled. and 2,912
applications from employers were re-
ceived This great increase in the
securing of employment by the STATE
bureau in Norwich started when the
present agent, George L. Chesebro,
took charge of the bureau.
In the annual report, William S.
Hyde, commissioner of labor and fac
tory inspection, will recommend chan
ges in the five bureaus of the state
The work of the bureaus compare
very favorably with similar work car
ried on by other states in the country
and it is hoped by the statistics de-
partment that it will be possible to
provide better offices, separate wait
ing rooms for men and women, sep
arate approaches and women Office as
sistants, two of these assistants to be
employed in the offices at Hartford
and New Haven. New Haven already
has one woman assistant and is the
only state employment bureau to
have a woman in the Office.
Fifty-one employment agencies are
at present doing business in the state
and a fee of s25 is charged each OF
these agencies each year. One Ii
cense was revoked last year for unde-
sirable location and new license was
refused for the same reason. The
following figures show the summa-
ries of the work of the employment
bureaus during 1916 and 1915:

few months ago the advance seat
sale has been heavier than usual and
Lyric fans who do not wish to miss
the best laughing show Of the season
should make haste to get their order
into the box office. Manager Isham
has succeeded in procuring the
scenery used in the original produc-
ton and the Lyric orchestra will rem

orchestra.
Everything possible has been done
to make the performance enjoyable
and those who enjoy a clever farce
cleaniyt produced should not fail to
include Excuse Me-, in their plans
for next week The scenes are laid on
a train running between New York
and San Francisco and have to do

vied who did not have time to get
the knot tied before boarding their
train.
The situations are screamingly
funny and it can be imagined what
fun will result with Dainty Miss Nc
