tWo-reel comic with the regular old
movie "hokum" of Charlie Chaplin

recent experience Of Richard DON
nerhack,/ Germany's newest sensa-
ton in comedy, criminality and con
games.
The film opens with Richard
making a regulation, style bow in
the smart uniform of Prussian Of
ficer decorated with the necessary
iron cross and black and white Or
ders. After making a tour of West
Germany reciting a monologue of
fictitious experiences AS a prisoner of
war in far-off India. which made
tender hearted Germans who had
never seen India weep copious tears
and open their hearts ard pocket

Dortrnund one day during general

With an air of profound secrecy
he took the proprietor of Dortmunds
! largest hotel into his confidence and
disclosed that he was secret agent
Of the German government" Fur
thermore he had come to Dortmund
to arrange for the immediate de-
portation of all males between 1S
and So years of age because the
French were expected within few
days to occupy Ruhr.
The hotel proprietor fastened to
accommodate his important guest
with good dinner and the hostelry's
best wine, but he also spread the
news that a wholesale deportation
of the masculine sex was contem-
| plated. In 20 minutes nearly every
man in Dortmund was either pack
ing his luggage or devising a hiding
place to escape the deportation.
Within 80 minutes the military au-
thorities had dispatched a patrol to
investigate the secret agent. The
patrol officer took one look at his
nibs, the government agent" and
ordered him detained under arrest
in his room on the fourth floor of
the hotel.
The next morning the military
guard posted before the hotel room,
after a period Of suspicious quiet,
opened the door and found the pris-
oner had disappeared. A bedsheet
tied to the bed revealed an impro-
vised ladder The guard rushed to
the window and peering over the

seems to exist among
the sportsmen regarding the proyis-
ions Of the State Fish and Game
Laws relative to the killing Of bear.
For the Information Of those desir
Ing to know the following explana-
tlon will be of interest. Section 10
reads, in part. as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons to hunt. trap or angle
for, kill or take any of the wild ami
mails. birds or fish of this State or
have in his possession for the pur-
pose Of hunting, any shotgun, rifle
or other firearms. other than side
arms, while in the field or forest In
the State Of Idaho, without having
first procured a license as herein
after provided, and upon request of
the State Fish and Game Warden or
his deputies, such license must be
produced for inspection"
Under Section 80 bear is classi-
fled as fur bearing animal and
subdivision (d) of Section % pro
vides that for the taking OF FIR bear
ing animals a trapper's license must
be procured.
1t would therefore seem that to
shoot bear one should be provided
with the fish and game license m"n-
toned in Section 10 and also with

year and deterioration Of mature

Crews of surveyors have been
