IBy Associated Pres)

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb 28.-The California state fish and game com mission has launched an extensive publicity campaign in favor of the much maligned "mudhen" as means Of food conservation.
 According to the commission the common coot or "mudhen" already has established itself as a valuable bird in the south and parts of the east, but in the presence of so great supply of more choice wildfowl thus far has failed to find general recognition in California
 Realizing that only through wide publicity could the people be made familiar with the many good foods that annually go to waste, the state board has been stimulating all poss- ible use of birds that most hunt CTS throw away.
 The worst thing about the 'mudhen" is it's name, and the prejudice that this has built up against it, according to the board.
 Leading hotels have served them as water chicken" and as "tule hem Known south as "pOule d'eau" and served a la creole, they attained a more than local fame in New Orleans
 Mudhens are perhaps better relish ed by their French name which is more truly descriptive of their habits, as they are a water bird rather than a mud frequenter. Their diet is identical with that of ducks.
 In general they are to be handled like rabbits in preparation for the table. Stews are the general method of cooking, but those willing to pluck fat ones can roast them and have a bird little inferior to a duck except milder in flavor. Soaking the birds several days in cheap claret imparts most delicious flavor, and is a meth cd followed by some of the most cele- brated cooks, one of whom has been serving mudhens in his cafe for near ly twenty years in Los Angeles as "salmi of duck" delighting thousands who never suspected that they were eating the same mudhen that had been left to lie before their guns as SUD- posedly worthless.

of their artillery and rapid fire guns, but
they have no stomach for fighting that

VISIT TO ITALY IMPORTANT.
Questions Relating to Adriatic, Fiume
and Dalmatian Coast Uppermost.

Paris, Dec. 3l.-Great interest is man
ifested among the conference delegates
and in French political circles in Presi-
dent Wilson's trip to Italy because of
the Importance of the subjects he is ex-
pected to discuss there.
Foremost among these subjects, it was
supposed, will be questions relating Co
the Adriatic, Fiume and the Dalmatian
coast, concerning which the Jugo .Slavs
and the Italians are not in accord. The
pretensions of the Jugo Slays to Fiume
and The Dalmatian coast are founded on
their claim to preponderance of their
nationality in the populations there. Ac.
cording to the views of the Jugo-Slav
leaders, the controversy involves the
