PHEASANT PROTECTION

NE Of two things must happen
1 either the pheasants of Penn
~ svlvania must be better pro-
+ccted or they will be eXterminated.
Pheasant shooting is one of the
gamest sports known to the hunter
of small game. The forests of this
State have been prime CUNNING
pround ever since the white men
came. But of late years the birds
have been shot off in very large num-
hers.
The repeating shotgun has been
their worst enemy, and men who
evade the law or openly break it by
shooting more than the legal limit
are also largely responsible for the
rapid depletion of the pheasant sup
nlv. The man who takes more than
two shots at a pheasant doesn't de-
serve to have his bird, yet the woods
are full of those who bang away
sometimes a half dozen times be-
fore they finally bring down their
tlrd and by others who kill their
own limit and then fill the bag of a
companion. If this wanton slaugh-
ter Il not stopped in few years the
pheasant will be as extinct as the
passenger pigeon.

4 JOINT HOSPITAL

"HE always inadequate smallpox
quarantine building, which the
Il CITY has been pleased to term
the Municipal Hospital, has long
since outlived whatever usefulness II
oyer may have had. 1t is neither
large enough to meet the kind of an
endemic with which we are threat
.ened nor such a place as the COM
munity should provide for persons
who arc forced to go there whether
they will or no.
Tho time has arrived when the
city and the county should join
forces looking toward the erection
of a modern contagious disease hos
pital to be operated in conjunction
with the county home. The burden
of caring for the smallpox victims
of the county has been largely on
Harrisburg's shoulders for many
years, outside towns contributing
only when they had patients in
quarantine. The investment and
up-keep have been borne by the tax
payers of the city. This is scarcely
fair and the time may come when
the city, by the very nature of condi'
tions, may find 1t necessary to turr
away patients from other parts of
the county, in which case distress
ing results might follow.
The protection of all concerned
and the interests of general econ
omy demand that the city and county
should join in the building of suit
able hospital, at least the project
should be financed so that in an
arising emergency could be met even
If the conclusion. should be reached
that the scarcity of labor and high
cost of materials make building at
this particular time inadvisable.
