NO TASK FOR THE TIMID
Photography Today May Be CIassed
Among the Occupations That
Require Nerve.

The adventures, reported recently,
OF en- expedition that penetrated Brit
ish East Africa to secure motion pic
lures of big game in its native jungle
reminds one strikingly of the change
that has come over the vocation OF
photography. In the beginning pho
Biography was as mild an occupation
as any; it called for a pleasing adj
dress in the photographer, and for
conversational tact to encourage the
sitter to forget that the camera was
watching him. but it was not adven-
turous, and the timidist might excel
at ii. Then the newspapers began to
use the camera, and the photographer
had often to be a man of courage.
But the motion picture industry goes
even farther. Bold and brave must
be the man who successfully takes
pictures of lions, tigers, and other
denizens of the jungle in their native
haunts.

Liberal Provisions Made for Prop

cupation for Large Number of
Country People.

| prepared by the United States Depart
| ment of Agriculture.)
| General prohibition of the sale OF
migratory birds has created a great
| demand for domesticated birds to SUD.
ply the market. To meet these de.
| mands, the regulations under the mi.
gratory-bird treaty act, made in 1916,
between the United States and Great
Britain for the protection of game
birds migrating between this country
and Canada, make liberal provisions
for the propagation of migratory
waterfowl. These provisions apply to
all persons who possess migratory
waterfowl.
Permits are issued free of charge by
the secretary of agriculture, through
the bureau of biological survey, au-
thorizing persons to acquire a limited
number of wild waterfowl to be used
as the nucleus of a breeding stock, or
to strengthen the strain of birds al
ready possessed, and to possess and
traffic in domesticated migratory
waterfowl for food purposes.
Aside from the necessity of obtain
ing federal permits, marking packages
in which the birds or eggs are shipped,
and reporting to the secretary of agri-
culture on operations under the per-
mits, the breeding and traffic in the
birds is carried on entirely under the
of the states.
The fact that many states have en-
acted no laws on the subject, together |
other states, has deferred many per-
sons from engaging in the business, |
but it has been demonstrated that |
many species of waterfowl, particu-
arly black and mallard ducks, can
be raised proftably on lands unsuited
with agricultural pursuits. There
seems to be growing sentiment in
avor of more uniform legislation In
)rder that domesticated birds may

Germans Laid Down Arms With
Confidence in Wilson-Wants
Voice at Peace Conference

Weimar, Thursday, Feb. 6.-The
opening of the national assembly
this afternoon was impressive for
its solemnity, earnestness and sim
plicity. Chancellor Ebert's opening
speech, the delivery of which occu-
pied half-hour, was frequently in
terrupted.
Herr Ebert received only brief
ovation on his entry. He found
himself so heckled by Independent
Socialists that he was forced in the
middle Of his speech to turn upon
them with the declaration that this
disorder showed how little evil
times had taught them. He spoke
loudly, slowly and distinctly, his
voice carrying to the remotest part
of the theater with its perfect acous-
tic properties.
The chancellor's voice shook with
emotion as he touched upon points
he deemed essential, then doomed
high above the discordant shouts Of
the independents when they tried to
interrupt and drown him out. He
aroused approval when he began by
declaring; I'VE have done forever
with princes and mobiles by the grace
of God" He said the German. peo-
pie were now ruling itself.
"Our enemies declare they are
fighting militarism,. but militarism
has been dethroned," Herr Ebert
asserted. The speaker took up the
armistice terms and branded them
as unheard of and ruthless. The
whole house was with him when ne
protested against the expulsion of
Germans from Alsace and the se-
questration of property.
The assembly broke into shouts of
indignation as the chancellor refer
red to the 100000 prisoners of war
still held in captivity. All this, he
said, showed anything but a spirit
of reconciliation.

drive us to the uttermost," he de-
clared. Hunger is preferable to
