SEE SIX MILLION HUNTERS
AS PROOF THAT KILLING
INSTINCT WILL DIE HARD

HUNTING is on the increase as
an outdoor sport. More than
100000 Americans seek prey with
a gun, yearly, says the Department
Of Agriculture.
The department attributes the
hunting craze to "the growing con-
gcstion Of population and the unrest
which such massing produces" 1t
adds that the hunters develop their
resourcefulness and maintain physi-
cal and mental health which is of
the utmost value in relation to their
civic usefulness"
That's open to argument.
That 100000 Americans use shot.
gun and rifle, shows that man has a
tong way to go before he gets the
killing instinct out of his blood. Dis.
armament is not going to be easy to
attain.
Man is the only animal that kills
for the sheer joy Of killing.

WHAT'S WHAT
By HELEN DECIE

Good manners should be more IN EVIL

This is not alone because Of the season

is expected to be little fr!endlier than
usual while engaged in the task OF buy
ing frlendshlps g!Ctg. but also because
salespeople everywhere are fatiguing
themselves to the point OF utter ex-
haustion under the strain OF quadrupled
work. Consideration for them is one Of
the truest proofs Of the much-lauded
christmas spirit
When a woman shopper tries to push
her way past customers in line ahead
Of her. instead of waiting her turn, when
she interrupts the sales-clerk who Is

human ability to guard all the outlets

unnaturalness of manner that betrays
him. And the vast majority Of liars
though they may affect steady gaze
do not know that the voice betrays the
lie as readily as the eyes.
