XANKSNC CAPITAL
FIND TRUEFRIEND
IN MRS. CAPRON

Men in uniform in Washington have
found a true friend in Mrs. Allyn
K Capron, head of the District Chap
ter Red Cross Kitchen. No. 1, at Is
Jackson place northwest.
Having served overseas with the
of the kitchen at chapter headQuar-
tiers and at once began to provide
jellies, jams. preserves and other del
icacies for the sick veterans in the
hospitals During the influenza cpl
demic she made and secured food for
the patients and in several instances
took care of needy families.
Several of the products made at the
kitchen have been sold at hotels and
clubs in Washington and the profits
used in further soldier relief work.
The results from this feature of the
work have been gratifying. it Is
stated.
Another source of revenue has been
from the services of Miss Evelyn j.
Kirk of the War Department.. who
sells shelled peanuts to the employees:
The funds from this source are used
in the purchase OF CAKES anu peaches
for the men at Walter Reed.
Miss Kirk recently visited the wal
ter Reed Hospital and noticed SOL.
der. wearing a most detected LOOK,
according to a description given The
ear. She questioned the veteran ana

intentions a secret, Miss kirk came
hack to town and bought another
tadpole for the veteran, causing MIN
the greatest joy.

Will the sportsmen of the country ex-
terminate their own sport, SO that the
next century will see the fauna of the
United States reduced to rats, mice
and English sparrows?
This is the fear of DR.. William T.
Hornaday of the New York Geological
Park, expressed in a booklet entitled
''The End of Game and Sport in Ameri-
car issued as a bulletin of the Perma-
nent Wild Life Protection Fund.
1.-THE game of our country cannot,
by any possibility, much longer with
stand the awful onslaughts that now are
being made upon it, legally and illegal
ly, wherever any game remains outside
of sanctuary limits" declares DR.. Horn
aday.
DIR. HOrnaday's Program.
He presents the following program:
From this time henceforWard all
shooting of game must be diminished at
least SO per cent.
This can best. most easily and most
justly be accomplished by permitting no
man to have a license, or to go hunting,
even on his own land, more often than
one year out of every two years.
"All licenses to either hunt small
game or large game now should be dou-
bled, or even trebled, in price.
mo state that maintains deer-hunt-
ing should license any man to kill a deer
for a smaller fee than s..
"a license fee should everywhere. save
by bona fide explorers and natives in
the far north, be paid on each big game
animal killed; and of all places in which
this is necessary Alaska needs it most
The existing (non-resident) license fees
in Alaska, for everything except the
shipment of moose heads, are ridiculous
and olterminatory, and if continued for
the future they would be a crime. No
Alaskan will admit this, however, even
when the big game of that territory be-
comes extinct.
"In view of the cost to the nation of
the adequate enforcement of the federal
laws for the conservation of wild life,
after increasing it's rates, each state
henceforth should turn over to the fed
eral government, for conservation pur-
poses only, 10 per cent of it's annual re-
ceipts from hunting licenses"
Suggests Other Remedial Efforts.
Among the remedial efforts he sug-
gests the following:
Acquire marshes, waste wood
lands and mountains without number,
and make them sanctuaries for all
kinds of valuable wild life.
PLANT annually quantities of kaffir
