SAYS GAME IS PLENTIFUL


Lynx are more abundant than in
recent years. A trapper caught II
in a single week. All had dined
sumptuously on hare.
Marten increase with rabbits, and
this kind of animal life is reported
to be plentiful, compared with the
last five years.
Wolf and coyote have increased
rapidly with the continuous feast OF
rabbit meat, and in spite Of the con-
slant preying on the hare family by
meat eaters there seems to be no per-
ceptible decrease in numbers.
Rabbits are said to be the key to
abundant wild animal life. They
furnish food for meat eaters, permit
ting other animals which fall prey
to carnivorous species in emergency,
to increase undisturbed.
Wild game birds have multiplied
because foxes, which usually prefer.
fowl, find rabbits so easy OF capture.

ElNsTEIN I'M THE MOVIES

What do you say when Johnny
climbs on your knee of an evening
and says: Papa, what is the Elm
stein theory Of relativity?"
For those gifted intellectuals who
understand it, this piece of news
may be overlooked but for those OF
us who do not, whether we admit it
openly, or hedge when asked, it will
be a relief to know that help is IN
sight. According to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, and we hope and
pray they are right, European
scientists are going to prepare a mo-
ton picture film, which will, by the
use Of diagrams and apparatus, give
us a little light on this subject. 1t
will make the theory perfectly intel
igible, it is said, to those who are
unable to grasp the complex mathe-
NAUTICAL formulas involved IN an or
binary explanation of this abstract
theory.

MISTAKEN

Miss A. was a poor student in
class, but she usually made her
grade from her final examination.
When she came up for her ex-
animation in one subject, the pro-
lessor watched her closely. He saw
her pouring over an open textbook
which she held in her lap.
He examined her paper and real
lied that she had copied her work,
word for word, from the textbook.
He asked her to remain after the
others had gone and said to her :
"Miss A., you copied your examina-
ton paper from Hills textbook"
.No. sir, you are mistaken" she
said. as she looked him straight IN
the eye, 81 copied it from Morgan's

MICE DESTROY FRUIT TREES
investigations Of Biological Survey
Show That Rodents Are Response
bic for Serious Losses.

Meadow and pine mice, which de-
stroyed more than 100000 worth
OF fruit trees in New England last
winter, have begun their work early
this year, it has been shown by an
investigation by the biological sur
vey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Last winters
heavy toll on the New England
orchards may not be equaled this
year, but indications now are that
the damage win be heavy.
An expert Of the biological survey
has been making an extended trip
throughout the section, comforting
with extension service workers and
investigating conditions for dealing
with the menace. In Maine, for in
stance, it has been found that next
to severe winter weather, mice have
inflicted more damage to orchards
than any other agency. Ten years
ago there were 4,521,739 apple trees
in Maine orchards, while in 1920
there were 3,345,521, much of this
decrease being due, the experts be-
lieve, to the severe winter of 1917
IS. 1t is estimated that 112,500
young trees were killed by mice in
1911.
In New Hampshire mice have
given the apple industry a severe
setback during the last decade. In
Massachusetts,, orchardists reported
losses two years ago from mice to-
falling $4,000, this amount not
covering the entire loss, because
some orchardists did not report. In
one Connecticut orchard of more
than $50 acres damage by rodents
during the winter of 1920 is con-
seryatively placed at $4,000.

Gay Party Of American Army OFFICERS
Found Prediction of One OF Their
Number Fulfilled.

The Saturday night before the
battle of Belleau wood ten marine
corps officers and three navy sur
geons got together for merry little
dinner party. They knew that they
were going into action and SO, when
some one called attention to the fact
that there were 10 men present, COM
ment was made on the luck this
would bring. 1t was suggested that
some of them probably would not
come back.
Capt. Lloyd W. Williams re-
marked:
ut would be bum war if some
body didn't get bumped off"
1t was this same Captain Will
Hams who refused to retreat at Cha
teau-Thierry when ordered to do so
by the French. 1t was this same
Williams who was the first officer
killed in that engagement. On the
day, june IS, 1918, there died on
that same battlefield one Capt. Ed
ward Fuller, who also had attended
the dinner party the Saturday night
before Capts. M. J. Kingman, P.
Conachy and L. De Roode were
wounded in the course of the week
that followed. Capt. Lester Wass,
one Of the same party, was killed five
weeks later.
Capt. G. K. Shler, United States
marine corps, who went through this
and every fight that followed, clear
up to November II and never got a
scratch, told this incident.-Phila-
delphia Evening Public Ledger.

RESUME BUILDING OF HOMES
Excellent Sign In American Life Is tho
Renewed Interest Along
That Line.

Home building. which underwent
something Of a decline during the
World war and for n short time there
after, has become a passion in the uni
ted States, judging by figures which
are presented to the attention and
consideration of the public. From n
survey of the situation In the coun-
try 1t is said that about $4,000 0 has
been spent for home building this
year. Such a colossal enterprise, quite
naturally, Is worthy of more than mere
cursory consideration. 1t is, to begin
with, n most encouraging sign of sta
bility for the nation. America, as a
country of home builders I'M home
owners. need have little worry about
Its future. This is one Of the com
polling talking points in connection
with discussions of our national posi-
ton. At least a start has been made
In catching up with a condition which,
during the war and for many months
after the cessation Of hostilities,
threatened to become most alarming
in the nations affairs. Construction
work has progressed to a point during
1922 where 1t seems more than likely
that 1t will continue. The movement
because of its own weight will con-
tinue for some time to come.-Dayton

to exercise such care. In autumn, for

In homes, factories and apartment
houses, there will be many serious
fires due to neglect of h%ouseholders
and janitors to make certain their
fiues are In good order. inflammable
rubbish is removed from easements,
coal Is properly stored. etc. Dampness
has rusted many pipes and hues in
the course OF the summer. Sudden
heat and strong drafts will break
down these weak spots and break out
in flames which may destroy n dwell

OF all flues, pipes and FIRE boxes will
prevent innumerable fires. Each sea

With the revival in home constru :.
tion that has come during the last
year the efforts that are being put
forth to make these homes better and
brighter should not be In vain. Home
construction along the right lines
means not only added beauty outside
and attractlvcness within, but addi-
tional value as wen. A badly designed
home in n residential locality is n

Rafet Pasha. military governor Of
ConstantlnOple, had some more trou-
BILE with the British last week. His
police confiscated the passports of a
hundred Armenians as they were
about to board a ship, on the ground
that they were Turkish citizens and
must not leave the country without
Turkish passports. British troops
thereupon o possession of the GUS
tom house, posted machine guns and
protected the embarkation of the refu-
gees. Rafet has refused to permit
Greek vessels to take any more refu-
gees from Asia Minor, and gave notice
that within a few days all Christians
remaining in Black sea coastal towns
would be removed to the interior.
Rafet insists the allies are not In oc-
cupation of Constantinople and have
no right to interfere between him and
native Christians.
