Both men are of heroic build,

GAME LAWS IN MANY
 STATES BEING REVISED
Conflicting Provisions Are Being Eiim- mated and the Wording Made Sim pier.
By PETER P. CARNEY.

Editor National Sports Syndicate
 An important matter in these days of complicated game legislation when laws are amended at nearly every legislative session and scattered through several volumes of the statu- tes is to simplify them as far as pos sible by revision or codification so as to bring them together, eliminate con- fiicting provisions and simplify the wording.
 Important progress in this direction has been made in at least six States: Maine Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have codifed their entire game laws; New Hampshire and Utah have revis- ed their statutes, and Minnesota has appointed commission to prepare a qualification of the game laws.
 Of several radical changes made in administration of the laws probably the most important is the establish-
 neat of department of game and fish in Nevada. In Illinois the. Game a1d Fish Commission was abolished and the work placed under the Depart
 Doent of Agriculture, with a chief game and fish warden in direct charge.
 In Maine a single commissioner of inland fisheries and game has been substituted for the commission of three II-S1ttOSI1 WllACIl 1Afto HOCAI HI CAAcAA GO VI the work since 1899. In Mississippi ;he law enacted in 1916 creating the Nrpartraent of Game and Fish and placiag the work in charge of com missioner was submitted to the voters under referendum petition and re- jected at the general election, thus lsavirg the State without any general officer in charge of game matters. In New Jersey the Board of Fish and Game Commissioners has been in creasedfrem four to seven members. h Pennsylvania the provision requir- ing game protectors to enforce the fish and forestry laws. as well as the game laws, was strengthened and made
 more explicit.
 The salary of the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Game in Maine ! was increased to $2500;. that of the State warden of South Dakota to i $2400, and that of the chief protector of New York to 5000 per annum. In Florida the county warden sys- 1 tenn was established in conformity
 with the decision declaring the law of ] 1915 unconstitutional.
