Sportsmen for Public Shooting Grounds

c ENATE bill 1452, introduced by Senator Harry s. New of Indiana,
 and house bill 5S23, introduced by Congressman Dan R. Anthony, Jr., of Kansas, are commonly known as the Public Shooting Ground-Game Refuge bill.
 This measure provides that every gunner who hunts migratory birds shall first take out federal hunting license costing $1 per year. Every cent of the money received from the sale of such licenses is to go into a special fund known as the Migratory Bird Protec- tion Fund" Forty-fiye per cent is to be expended for the purchase of suit able areas for use as public shooting grounds and migratory bird refugees. Forty-five per cent is to be used for protecting and caring for the birds. This leaves balance of 10 per cent to be used for any other expenses neces- sary to give effect to the provisions of the act.
 Sportsnen claim that this bill has great merit They hold that when this bill is enacted into law, wild-fowl shooting will be perpetuated for all time to come. Breeding feeding and resting places for our migratory birds are necessary. No matter in what section of the country man shoots. he

XVI ASHINGTON- President Har- w ding has announced the selec-
 ton of Secretary of State Hughes to head the delegation to rep resent the United States in the Wash ington conference on limitation of arm ament and Pacific and far eastern is sues which menace international tran quillity. The President further an- nounced that he passed on to his sec retary of state all responsibility for the conference henceforth, except, of course, the naming of other members of the American delegation.
 The President believes, according to his advisers, that he has done his full duty in bringing about the world con- ference, which already begins to as- sume an importance as vital to the nations as the Versailles peace confer ence.

At Last, a National Military Policy

A N AUTHORIZED statement, with "A the title, 'EAt last, national mili-
 tary policy" has been issued from the War department, prepared by Col. John McA. Palmer. It deals with the national defense law, which President Harding has described as establishing "an economical and democratic mili- tary policy thoroughly consistent with our national traditions" After explain ing the law providing for small reg ular army, to be augmented by trained citizen forces from the National Guard and National army reserve in event of national emergency, the statement says, in part:
 Ut is our traditional military policy that we are to maintain a small reg ular or standing army in time of peace, and this small peace establish ment is to be augmented, or re-en- forced. by great armies of citizen sol diers when a national emergency calls for greater forces, The defeat of our military system in the past has been that the organization of these larger forces has been deferred until after the declaration of war.
 "The obvious remedy was simply to provide for their organization in time of peace. This is the underlying dominating feature of the new law.

is dependent upon the protection of the birds during their entire migration -in every section of the country they visit.
 Moreover, drainage is as hard on the waterfowl as lack of protection. At the present rate at which suitable ducklng territory is being drained, i'm mediate action is necessary. This bill will permanently set aside lakes and marshes where the birds may be hunted by the public, and also areas as refuges where the birds will re- ceive protection.
 Under the federal migratory bird law the waterfowl are increasing h numbers. It is claimed that this ball If enacted, will admirably supplement tha nrasent law.

Effects of the New Curtis-NeIson Act

amends the farm loan act by increas- ing the depository privileges of the federal land banks with the treasury from $6,000,000 to S31, ,00000O. Without such privileges the system would have found itself within the last month without any available loanable funds. for the reason that experienced bond salesmen advised the federal authori- ties of the unwisdom of attempting an other sale of the farm-loan bonds so shortly after the close of the previous offering.
 The Curtis-Nelson act makes cer- tain, so long as bonds can be sold, the continuous, uninterrupted loaning op- erations of the federal farm loan sys. tenn. It is estimated that there is a demand in this country for such a character of investment as our farm lean bonds to the extent of S2O0 GOO. 900 year. The machinery of the farm loan system, operating normally, is capable of putting this amount of money annually into the hands of the farm borrowers.
 Assuming that these facts are war ranted, the conclusion follows that the enactment of this legislation shall re- suit in the liquidation of about 1,oO0,- 100000 of debts annually.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an infiamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta. chian Tube.

The President does not believe that he, as tha President of the United States, should push himself into the concaye further. He will, of course, in his capacity as President of the nation which invited the conference, address the delegates when they con vene here November II, but after that his relation with it will be an advis- ory one.
 The Presidents invitation to the powers. points out the futility of look ing for stability or the assurance of social justice, or the security of peace while wasteful and unproductive out lays deprive effort of it's just reward and defeat the reasonable. expectation of progress" The invitation also says:
 "It may also be found advisable to formulate proposals by whichl in the interest of humanity the use, of new agencies of warfare may be suitably controlled.
