PROTECTION FOR ALLIGATORS
Louisiana Restricts Killing of
Reptiles Under Four Feet.

New ORLEANS. La. Aug 17.-Under
the new wild quadruped act passed by
the Louisiana Legislature the Depart
ment of Conservation is given authority
to draw up suitable rules and regula-
lions to give proper protection to the
alligators OF the State.
The unregulatsd killing Of these cnar-
acteristic reptiles OF the Louisiana
swamps MAS caused their numbers to be
decreased alarmingly. and from surveys
made by the department 1t Is believed
that the killing OF many small sized
gators has been one Of the contributing
causes to this decrease.
Therefore, under the new rules OF the
department 1t will be unlawful to kill
buy. sell or transport any alliGators
under four feet in length. and no one
taking allgators for their hides will be
permitted to do so unless he Is the lawful
holder of a trapper's license.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
committee on geological Investigations,
California State Council of Defence, is
seeking to popularize the shad, which
are so unappreciated here that they are
shipped East The shad was introduced
In the San Joaquin and Sacramento
rivers from the East between 1871 and
1850.
When not abundant II sold from 20 to
20 cents pound and the demand was
great. At that time money had twice
the purchasing power II has now. Be
fore this period. however. the price was
higher. for 1t sold for $3.50 a pound and
In some instances fish brought $40
and SIS.
As the introduced fish became more
abundant the price dropped to 10, 8 and
even 2 cents pound, At this price it
became questionable to eat shad. The
present price Is 25 cents for a fish.
whereas In New York the cost is 81 or
more.

5 LIB. BASS OUTFIT
FOR ONE DAY TRIP
Intended for Angler Who Goes

BY PLUG UGLY.

Several fishermen have asked me about
a handy outfit to carry on one day trip
to the reservoirs. SO will describe my
kit, which has been evolved after much
time and trouble. These remarks are
not intended for the angler who goes to
the places where boats are allowed nor
for the owner or user Of an automobile.
but for him who goes by trolley or train
to tramp the banks of reservoir or lake.

Wear an old suit and soft hat mel

be stout but comfortable. as your path
will lead you through mud and sand,
over stones and logs and through brush

Attached to the shell bag by two
small curtain rings Is n fiat canvas creel
lined with rubber amply large enough
wide web strap with snaps at each end
connects bag and creel. and when slipped
over the shoulder causes no discomfort
on a long hike.
Avoid the leather strap! which is more
expensive and not as comfortable. The
rubber coat can be folded and slipped
under the flap Of the shell bag.
Outfit Suitable for Waters.

catches on every stone. branch and log.
1t has been replaced by a sectional steel

TWo Months Study.

PouGHKEErsIE, y. Y, Aug. 17.-Small
alga, which might have been thought to
serve no useful purpose, contribute in

Emmeline Moore. professor of botany
at Vassar College, Who made two
months investigation as to the indirect
value Of certain plants.
The investigation was conducted at
the Fairport laboratory and DIR. Moore's
study revealed IA greater forage value
OF water plants than had previously
been realized. DR., Moore has at times
been an Investigator for the United
