two weeks on the new job that time
for play and exercise is essential for
a man occupying a desk and swivel

He has adopted policy of mixed
play and work in order to keep himself
physically fit. His play begins early
in the day, long before the doors of
the War Department are open for
business. and has taken the form re-
Gently of polo playing in practice with

Darneilie was pronounced by ply

KNOW YOUR GAME LAWS.

Ignorance of the law is no
excuse for violation, therefore,
because of the many changes, it
is almost necessary to acquaint
yourself with the existing sta
tutes before il is safe 10 go
afield. Recently a State game
commissioner made a trip over
one thousand miles TO neigh
boring State in order to secure
some good bass fishing. He ar
rived at his destination only
to End that the law had recent
~ been changed and he had Is
days to wait befoye the season
opened. If a man Whose busi-
ness is the enforcement of the
conservation laws would go so
far astray, it is easy to see how
an individual may not always
be thoroughly posted.
Your State Game Commits
sion, your local warden, or the
officers of the nearest sports
mems association will always be
glad to give you and information
regarding the laws when you are
in doubt. IL is much better 10
find out first what you can do
and what you cannot do than
TO be hauled up before the court
and reminded forcibly that you
should have made your inves-
legations before which could
have been done at a great deal
less expense and trouble.

SHOOTING GROUNDS.

EVERY gunner III the onlteu
States should be in favor of a
Federal migratory bird hunting
license. In no other way can
sufficient funds he raised to
purchase and set aside suitable
territory for public shooting
grounds. This plan should ap-
peal to rich and poor alike.
Public shooting grounds are
necessary,
The individual who has not
sufficient means to join an ex-
elusive club is entitled to a
place to hunt. If the land is all
leased and controlled by men
more fortunate in worldly pos
sessions. we cannot blame this
citizen for being discontented
with conditions. TIL, man of
wealth is entitled to his club
where he may shoot, but he
should just as strongly favor
public shooting grounds as the
man not so fortunate. The
clubman can only retain his
property in peace as long as the
bulk of the shooters are salts
fed with conditions. Both should
be equally active in opposing
the draining projects over the
country which are so rapidly
making farm lands of our lakes
and marshes.
BY far the big majority of
shooters favor the proposed
Federal license. and il is to be
hoped il will only be a short time
until legislation will pass Con-
greSs and sufficient funds will
be available not only to purchase
public shooting grounds where
they are needed. but also to pur-
chase nesting. resting and feed
ing grounds for the birds and
sufficient warden service to see
that the laws are properly en-
forced.
