Forest Officers to adequately handle
the game situation in this section of
the country unless they receive the
most determined and continuing
support from the public. Wild life
is one of the greatest assets of this
region and one that cannot be val
ued in monetary terms. We have
here one of the greatest game
regions in the United States, and
unless game laws are observed it is
merely a question of time before
wild life will disappear. If Ely is
to become one of the great tour
list centers of the United States, we
must preserve our wild life.

The Bible tells Of the manufacture
aud use OF brick. The mos. ancient
records contain referene to this
building material. As early as the
year A A. D. the Romans used them
In England. The actual scientific and
mass production OF bricks did not be-
gin until 1856, when Alfred the Great
directed that bricks be manufactured
under government supervision. His
tory does not tell Of another ruler who
became deeply interested In this In
dustry until Charles l, who in 1925
thought 1t necessary to regulate the
size Of bricks. so that transportation
difficulties could be overcome.

taken toll of the biggest trees, leaving
nothing but the great stumps, orchards

Leisure Time.

II would seem that one Of the most
esssntial Of the lessons Of life Is this
what to do with leisure time so that
It shall always be re-creative; SO that
II shall always renew right spirit
within you. AS a matter Of fact, II our
work was the work must suited to Us,
II we expressed ourselves very directly
In our work and II we did not have
too much Of 1t, IL we did not violate
the dignity and the beauty of It by
doing too much In order to secure
larger rewards and a quicker recogni-
ton. II II was not so much competi-
tive work and was more cooperative
and intensely friendly and exhilarat-
ing, then recreation would only be a
different kind Of work. And that is
what 1t is at Its best; and yet there is
a place for quiescence, for passivity,

Have You Tried to Draw on Glass?
To write on a glass surface 1t is
necessary to impart certain degree
Of r0ughness to the surface. After
repeated trials of various roughness, a
varHish OF sugar was found to be the
best method Of obtaining this rough
ness. Equal parts Of white and
brown sugars should be dissolved in
water until the solution has con-
sistency equal TO that Of thin strip.
