the statute aims ay the prohibition
of public sports as distinguished
from private sports. Shooting and
hunting wild game is not a public
sport. It is indulged in for the
amusement of the private individ-
uals engaged in such hunting and
shooting. Hunting and shooting of
wild game not being a public sport,
it, therefore does not come within
the things prohibited by the sta
tute."
Season Opens on Sunday
Touching on the date of the open
ing of the hunting season in the
state, Attorney Sinkler says that it
opens on Sunday, Sept 16.
'The opening of the hunting sea-
son can have no connection with the
statute on Sabbath breaking. The
one statute does not in any manner
affect the other. Even though Sab
bath shooting and hunting were
prohibited the game laws have no
connection Herewith. The hunting
season opens on Sunday regardless
of the provisions Of the Sabbath
blue law
Must Have q warrant -.
Attorney Sinkler says the game
wardens of the state have no more
authority to arrest person for
shooting and hunting wild game on
Sunday, if properly licensed, than a
private individual, chat is, game
warden cannot arrest for Sabbath
violation without a warrant, unless
such violation is committed in his
presence.
"Any person may for misde-
meanor committed in his presence
arrest the person committing such
misdemeanor," says Attorney Sink
ler. "If it were a crime to hunt on
the Sabbath day, under the statute
quoted, the game warden of the
state would have no authority as a
game warden to make an arrest.
The game laws and the blue laws of
the state are entirely Independent
of each other. have made an ex-
tensive review of the authorities
which have led me to this opinion"

WOMAN Is NO WASTER
OF FOOD, SHE DECLARES

Neutrality-suspicious. in the home
was defended from the charge of be.
ing food waster in an article writ
ten by Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association. Declaring that
masculine psychology is getting all
out of joint on the subject of waste u
and that only 20 per cent. of the food
crop reaches the kitchen, Mrs. Rog-
ers thus explains the situation:
at has become a popular thing to
scold women and threaten them with
the bogy of possible starvation I'M
less they put their families on a.
bread and water diet. From a duti-
full, inoffensive soul, striving to
stretch last years income over this
years inflated cost of living, the
housekeeper, that hapless victim of
masculine condemnation, has been
dragged from behind the shelter of
the cook stove and thrust into the
limelight as a reckless spendthrift
who wastes as she goes"
In place of campaign to save
waste, Mrs. Rogers suggests "a far
reaching investigation into the ways
Of the food manipulation and re-
organization of food distribution
methods"

DON'T SELL THE cows.

Prof. j. j. Hooper, of the Kentucky
Experiment Station, calls attention I'd
the necessity of conserving the sup
ply of lice stock and especially OF
dairy cows.
Of all animals the COW is the most
economical producer of human food
A good COW will produce in year as
much edible food as is contaiped in
the bodies of two 1,200-pound steers
From 100 pounds of digestible nutri-
ents in her feed the COW will produce
eighteen pounds of solids for human
food. This will not all be utilized
however, if the skim milk or the but
termilk is wasted.
Big prices are now being offered
for mich cows. They should not be
sold, however. No good COW should

over. The number is none too great
now, and if the war continues for
two or three years the cow will be

PRESIDENT WILSON HoNoRED.

President Woodrow Wilson has
been honored by the University OF
Bologna. This. to the best of our
recollection, is the first time an
American b. birth and blood has
been decorated by this world-famed
institution of learning.
The honorary degree conferred on
the President rounds out an exchange
of academic honors due to our en-
trance into the war;
Bologna is one of the great centers
of learning in Italy. The University
of Bologna is said to have been
founded in the year 425. AT any rate,
it is one Of the most famous univer-
sites in the world and the oldest in
the peninsula.
Generations ago the school attain
ed great celebrity and was attended
by thousands of students from all
parts of Europe. The number of stu
dents in 1860 is said to have been
SOfneInlNg over lU,UUU.
The honor conferred on President
Wilson is, therefore, not only one
that he will cherish all the days of
his life and by his descendants in the
days to come, but by the entire Amer
lean people. 1t is a tacit acknowl-
edgment of the close tie that binds
the great republic of the New World
with the venerated nation of art and
culture of the old.
Bologna was the university of Dan
tie, of Petrarch, of Tasso. Men who
have held aloft the ever-burning
torch of genius have passed through
this venerated institution of learning.
They have watched the doors open to
the world and begun their fledgling
flight into fame.
That the name of Woodrow Wilson
is now enrolled with the names of
many of the greatest men that the
world has known since the remote
ages of Christianity will be appre-
ciated by all who avlue such a recog-
milton.
We have in less pretentious way
honored European diplomats since
the war began.
Balfour of England. Joffre and Vi
viani of France. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice and Marconi have received
American decorations.
Like most Latin nations the spirit
of patriotism is always quickly kind
led in Italy. Quick in anger, the peo-
pie of these nations are equally quick
in their expression of appreciation
for kindness offered.
And now Italy's ancient university
bestows its official commentator on
the President for having, "from his
high place ard in the name of the
free people of America, so. nobly pro-
claimed the principles of justice, civ
ilization and humanity"
This is high praise and certainly
there are few college honors to which
greater academic sentiment or his
toric interest attaches than to a de-
gree conferred in such circumstances
by Europe's oldest university
memphis Commercial Appeal.
