never gets tired whether climbing the
hills or tramping through the gulches

Hayes, he seems to possess a natural
instinct in telling where he will find
a bird or the holes in which the trout
abound, and his steady and quick arm
and unerring eye invariably land his
prey. Where others will come back
with empty, or nearly empty bags or
creels, Bills will be bulging.

never make a mistake, he says. Hav-

diplomats. believing that they were
immune from the drastic restrictions

of liquors, were considerably disturb

partment officials that some deli

Internal Revenue Commissioner
Daniel c. Roper has consistently re-
fused to hold that foreign ENJOYS are
not entitled to import liquors, taking
the broad view that this Is matter
for the State Department to decide.
In truth. the question only now has
been brought to an Issue, and the
State Department probably. under
pressure of diplomats who have raised
the question. will be compelled to say
whether or not ENJOYS can import
liquors without improperly.
"A few OF the diplomats have openly
stated in discussing the matter with
the State Department that they Will

from the provisions of the law. rather
than incur the displeasure OF Ameri-

for the enjoyment OF their full rights

tries. without exception they took
the view that although on American
soil, their properties, in diplomatic
sense, are considered foreign terri

Neither Revenue Commissioner Ro-
per nor Acting Secretary or state
Polk would comment for publication
upon the legal phases of the contro-
yersy, 1t Is known, however, that the
legal STATS OF both departments are
busy searching for possible immuni-
