BOYS UNDER Il CAN
GET LICENSES, BUT
CANNOT CARRY GUNS
Attorney General Gives Opin-
ion In Reply To Local
Courts Question

Although the clerk of courts has
the privilege of issuing hunting H.
censes 10 boys under II years of age,
provided they fiji the requirements
set down for the issuance OF such to
IL person, the juvenile officer must
fnlfill his duty In regard to the law
prohibiting boy under II years of
age from using firearms OF any kind,
according to an opinion handed down
by Attorney General Joseph McGhee
in response to an inquiry from the To-.
cal courts.
Clerk Taylor, In doubt as to wheth.
er he had the right to Issue n hunt
ing license to q hoy under II years
old. went to officer Purcell who,
through the prosecuting attorney,
asked for the opinion.
In brief, II boy under II years of
age may secure Il hunting license, but
Is not allowed to hunt on account of
the restrictions contained In the erin.
inal code for the state. which treats
specifically the carrying OF firearms
and their use.

MILLIONS OF PENEIOPES
(! AT THEIR KNITTING

Not since the days of the Odyssey
has knitting been so popular refuge
fer harassed feelings, and, curiously
snsugh, it is the exigencies of war
which today have driven wameA to this
work just a. they drove the Ithacar
noblewoman to her labor-but it is
safe to say that the Pcnelopes who are
weaving webs for our soldiers do no
snravelling by night, though some of
the work would doubtless profit by a
few rehearsals.
If the effect of whole nation of wo-
men at the work of knitting is sooth-
ing sight for men, it is hardly less of a
pleasant anodylIe to the women them
selves. High strung females who read,
with psngs Of pity anl, nervous ,sympa-
Thy, the morning papers full Of har
zswing submarine casualties and "strat-
xgieal" advances and retreats, find =
Tremendous relief afrom the strain of
thinking and worrying about the war
ii tho rhythmic and monotonous, pla 4
of tho needles. In fact, this return to
N old fashioned, suave, useful art,
vAAich the elderly had believed to be
dad and which is not even moribund,
has all-aroundz advantages which it is
cheering to observe. The over-worked
piano is; taking rest; society no long
q spends most Of its time in practis-
iag, more or less successfully, the latest
1arbarities of dancing; and bridge,
whose downfall . year ago was as un-

cinations. Women are continually tell,
ing you plaintively that, once started
On piece of work, they Cant put it
down." And history teaches US that
it is not only women who experience
the thraldom of the art Of knitting.
Man has, from time to time, shown him
self covetous of woman's theoretically
exclusive prerogative of welding the
needles. In some juvenile book whose
title now escapes me, but whose de-
ightful content still fingers faithfully
in my memory, I recall picture which
never failed to arouse my childish won
der and interest. It was that of vii
ainous-looking, black-bearded old sea
dog, whose once fierce eye the artist
suffused with sentiment and upon whose
once cruel mouth now played smile
of exquisite sweetness, peacefully and
laboriously knitting. Under the picture
was the legend:
