was out for a walk, came by. And as
soon az he saw his friends. the two
rabbits, he said:
What's your hurry. little rabbits
You have got such scarey habits.

this made old Robber Hawk stop to

his tail feathers ne couldn't steer his

than a captain can run his ship with

"Oh, botheration!" he said. every

The art ol wang snoo,ing was tAuRAt
at an early date. when feathered
game abounded In this country In such
unlimited numbers that a bag limit
was an unheard- possibility. and a
closed season was q monumental joke
Sportsmen during that period did
not contemplate the ultimate disap-
pearance OF those feathered aces OF
the air. neither was the marked de-
crease due TO excessive bags killed by
the hunters. The march and encroach-
ment Of civilization. the cultivating
and retaining OF swamp and pasture
lands, the cutting OF OF the timber
and replacing of rail and hedge fences
by the land-conserving barbed wire,
eliminating in great measure the
nesting, breeding. and resting sane
tuaries, has been the real cause OF
game disappearance.
In some Instances the use OF modern
fire arms and ammunition has been
cited as one of the reasons. Protective
Legislation, the enactment OF stringent
state and couny laws, governing the
season. and bag limits are keeping pace
with Improvement in firearms. II
makes no difference what weapon is
utilized in killing the bag limit IL the
laws are respected as regards excuses.
1t is positively the man behind the
gun who is responsible for the killing
Of game as field novice is never de-
structive of wild life.
Change in environments has been the
means Of forcing all species Of wild
life into restricted localities, which
for the most part have been pre-
empted by purchase, lease and con-
version into game preserves and
santuaries, where shooting clubs are
permitted to hunt under restriction.
The establishment OF clubs has ma
teriaify assisted in the preservation
and propagation OF game. Natural
lakes and swamps have been perpet-
uated: on many preserves artificial
game resorts have been created. Had
this property remained in the posses
sion Of individuals, the enormous in
crease in land values would have GER

Germany still would leave the poison
GUS fanEa Of the serpent undisturbed.
Allied control Of Constantinoplc. on
the other hand. would break up all OF
the schemes which have been disturb
ing the peace Of Europe for tho past
500 years.
Senator Lodge apparently attaches
great Importance to the necessity of
making some special adjustment In
regard To Constantinople and this
view finds support entirely apart
from the popular desire to discipline
Turkey. II is an essential measure
for permanent peace. The Paris
Matin quotes Senator Lodge as pro-
posing that Constantinople should
become an international city, con-
trolled by the allies. /.
Whether controlled by the allies as
an Independent group, or internation-
allied under the supervision OF q
world league of nations. Conetan-
tinople would be shorn Of the strictly
military character which II has borne
since II became the eastern capital
OF the Roman empire, $50 A. n. That
ancient character has been extended,
rather than diminished. since the
Turks overcame Greek civilization
nearly 500 years ago.
The Balkan muddle In Europe. with
its various peace disturbing outcrop-
pings, has been the direct result or
rival manipulations on the part of
Turkey. Germany. Austria and Russia.
Constantinople and its far reaching
control ever has stood as the chief
element of irritation and the chief
Unstable to logical adjustments.

now. that the war will be terminated
without establishing control over
Constantinople and eliminating all
commercial restrictions in the Darda-
nelles. The world needs access to
Russia and Russia needs access to
the world, regardless OF the effects
upon individual military notions or
aspirations.
Civilization has a heavy score reg
istered against the Turks and all that
might be exacted in settlement OF
that score still would leave an unpaid
balance. The very least that should
be done In adjustments at the close
of the war is to take Constantinople
and the fortified Dardanelles entirely
out Of Turkish hands and appropriate
them to world welfare.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN HoUsERoLD'

The new rules of the federal ad-
ministration are released for pupllca-
ton. today They affect the hotels
and eating places directly but they
should be accepted and observed in
every household. Boiled down they
are simple commonsense applied TO
the food question in connection with
the war Indeed the rules are such as
should be applied with good com
mon sense and thrift to days Of peace.
Emergency makes it necessary to in
culate and even order judgment in
feeding and the most effective use OF
labor. That is principle that
should apply IN peace as in war
There is nothing in the new rules that
essentially deprlves any one OF plenty
to eat and of excellent quality.
Neither does the demand that plate
service shall as far as possible take
the place OF a multitude of dishes de-
prive any one of necessary and sutfi-
ciently complete service.
The eating houses will be held
strictly to the letter OF the rules. SO
much we know is to be done. The in
tent now is to save food not to sub
stitute other foods, but to save it. We
are to eat less in order that starving
Europe is to be fed and the armies
maintained at the high efficient notch.
Last year we substituted for wheat.
This wear we are to shorten up few
mouthfuls TO fill other famished
mouths. That is the intent and pur-
pose of the new hotel rules.
The reason these rules are directly
aimed at the eating houses is because
eating houses can be watched and the
-u1es enforced. They are licensed for
that purpose. And it is due to the
eating places of repute to say that
they have in general been ready to &C
cept and conform to orders from the
food Administrations; but the house
hold is not licensed and 1t can not Dc
under strict observation. There the
voluntary patriotic conformity to the
,,urpose of the food administration be
comes vital. The responsibility rests
upon the homes and those who main
tain and keep them. They can be
food slacxers, service siackers or pa
triotic conservators. OF course pub
lie opinion lashes them when dis
covered but they can avoid discov-
cry to a very great degree. So that
the saving in the household Is prac-
tically UP to the family. They do
their duty or they slack. Which is
your family going to do?
A large percentage Of our popula-
ton eats at the public places. Is it
sa:- that we should stuff ourselves at
home while the patron Of the public
eating house is forced to save the
food to fill the hungry mouths Of Bel
gian children? It is perfectly just and
commemorate that the patron should
be forced to save but is it anything
less than Stacking when we refuse in
the homes to carry our share of the
deprivation which after all Is said and
done is not a deprivation in amy real
sense but the exercise Of ordinary
hygienic feeding? Why gluttonize?
We have had figures astonishing IN
their totals d the saving a shovelful
Of coal day accompanies. We are
a people OF perhaps ITO, 900, 900. Cast

Of bread, N ounce Of meat daily BY
