WOMEN CAN HUNT AND
FISH WITHOUT LICENSE

Women desiring to fish or hunt in
New Jersey this year will not be re-
quired to take out a fishing and hunt
ing license, according to an announce
ment made by the State Fish and
Game Commission. The 1920-21 Leg
islature intended to extend the IL
cense law to apply to women and an
amendment introduced by former AS
semblywoman Van Ness, of Essex
County. provided that women should
pay, equally with men, for providing
for the privilege enjoyed in these out
door recreations. .
In amending the law, the word
male" was stricken from the phrase,
ANY male person" in the second sec
ton of the license act, but the Leg
islature failed to change the wording
of the first or governing section. The
Attorney General therefore holds that
there is still nothing in the law that
would require the woman wishing to
go hunting or fishing to first AXE out
a license.

BIG NEW FEATURES
ADDED TO COLOSSUS.
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Bring Entire Shipload of Novel,
ties from Europe.

Made even more tremendous thar
in 1921 by the recent addition of many
more trained-wild animal displays and
the purchase of Europe's biggest
horse show, Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey combined will ex.
hibit at Philadelphia the week begin.
ming May Sth.
All who glance over the cable news
OF who read the magazines must have
noted the many contracts entered into
by the Ringing Brothers for foreign
talent last winter. A special ship was
chartered this spring to bring the hun
dreds of human performers, trained
animal acts and equine displays to
America. More than a million per
son saw the mammoth new circus of
1922 during the weeks that it exhibit
ed in Madison Square Garden, New
York. Now this marvellous exhibition
is touring the country aboard five
great railroad trains. 1t is a third
bigger than the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey show of last season.
1t is ten times larger than any other
circus now on tour.
Big as is this wonder circus of 1922
with it's more than twenty trained
wild-animal displays in steel arenas,
fully $50 wonderfully schooled trick
horses, 700 men and women perform
ers, 100 clowns, and score of features
the price of admission is no more
than before. And though the trained
animal numbers and the immense
horse show were circuses in them
selves while touring Europe, they are
not offered as separate attractions by
the Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey combined shows. Instead all
are on one gigantic program. Every
thing is in n mammoth main tent.
One ticket admits to all and includes
admission to the tremendous double
m~enagerie. There are more than a
thousand animals in the zoo of this
circus and these include a tiny baby
hippopotamus only recently born, and
accompanied by its three-ton mother.
Another remarkable geological feature
is an armored rhinocerohs, the only
one known to exist and for which the
Ringlings recently refused an offer of
$40 0O0

$75,000.000 for federal aid in buildin
of public highways. 1t enacted a La
for the protection OF American ow5lef
cable and radio service. 1t enacted .
new tax measure, which reduces tht
public taxation for the current year H.
the sum of 1913, O00, 900, the bulk Of
which is saved to the man of mediur
income.
In addition to enacting the Bulge
Law creating the Budget Bureau, un
der which all economies which haVt
been made by executive department
were made possible, the Congress
upon its own initiative, cut over $500
I 000, 900 from appropriations requested
by various departments and boards
thus carrying out the Presidents de
sire for rigid economy.
In addition to carrying out the Pres
ident's program it enacted a restrictive
immigration law. 1t amended the
Edge Act in order to facilitate Amer
ica's foreign trade. 1t ~reorganized the
Philippine financial system in order to
save the islands from bankruptcy as
a result of maladministration under
the Wilson regime. 1t ~reorganized the
Indian Bureau and ~reorganized the
Postal Service and readjusted salaries
in that department. In fulillment oil
the Presidents request, the House
passed a permanent tariff measure
the Fordney Bill. The House also
passed the Dyer Bill, which makes
lynching a federal offense and provides
for federal punishment OF that crime.
In his annual message to Congress
in December, the President made sup
elementary recommendations, among
them being the enactment of a CO.
operative marketing law; the appro-
priation of funds to relieve the famine
in Russia; the creation of a commits
sion to handle the r%efunding of our
foreign loans; and the enactment OF
! legislation to stop the issuance of tax
exempt securities.
Every one of these recommendations
has been enacted into law with the
exception of the one regarding the is
suance of n~on-taxable securities and a
bill to carry that recommendation into
effect is new well on it's way through
Congress.
This record shows that the House
co-operated with the President exact
" 100 per cent. in .enacting such leg
islation as he recommended-a record
| of cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches of Congress
which has no equal in the annals oil
American legislation.

DRASTIC GUN LAW.

Announcement has been made OF
the passing of a new drastic law
which will make it a crime for motor
lists to carry firearms in their ma
chimes. Another feature of the bill
required the dealers to keep a perma-
nent record of the person purchasing
a weapon, containing their name, resi-
dence, number of the revolver, and
such other information which might
be necessary for the authorities to
keep the permanent record.
A feature of the new law, and one
which must be strictly complied with
under heavy penalty, is that any per-
son who owns a gun and decides to
sell it, he or she will be forced to
keep the same aforementioned rec
ord. Failure to do so might result in
a prison sentence, as there are no
fines prescribed for in the bill. All
violators, it says plainly, will receive
criminal trial by jury.

PIKE SEASON DELAYED;
OPENS THIS YEAR JUNE IS

Under an amendment to the gen
eral Fish and Game Act, passed by
the last Legislature. the opening OF
the fishing season for pike, pickerel
and pike perch, in New Jersey, is
postponed from May 20 to June Is,
opening simultaneously on the latter
date with the bass season. The
change in the law will delay the out
ings of thousands of resident and non
resident anglers who find sport in
jerseys pickerel streams and lakes,
but it's advocates contend that sports
men will be well compensated for the
delay through an increase in bass.
The amendment is intended to afford
better protection to the bass, which
are breeding during May and early
June. Many bass, it is charged, have
been hooked from their nests during
this period by ~overzealous pike fish
prmpn.

When the newly elected Republican
Congress was convened in SPECIAL SEES
sion April IL, 1921, the nation was still
legally at war with the Central Powers
of Europe and the domestic problems
confronting the country were of great.
er magnitude than any previous ad.
ministration in the history of the
United States had ever been called
upon to solve.
The President and the Congress had
a well-defned program of rehabilfta
ton and recon truction. In his address
opening the special session Of Con,
gress the President asked the pas
sage of a resolution declaring a state
Of peace between the United States
and the Central Pc overs. He urged, in
addition, the enactment of al emer-
gency tariff, a permanent tariff, the
creation of a budget system; legisla-
ton PROCEEDING relief to agricultural in
terests; federal aid to public high
ways, a new tax law which would les
sen the burden of public taxation and
eliminate excess profits taxes; a con-
s~olidation of the various government
agencies handling relief for ex-service
men; a maternity and infancy welfare
law; a law to punish lynching by fed
eral statute; encouragement for and
regulation of cable and radio service;
appropriations for the operating ex-
penses OF the Government.
The best and the conclusive answer
as to whether OF not the Republican
Congress has co-operated with the Re
publican President in carrying out the
program is the citation of the record
of accomplished acts. The Emergency
Tariff was a law May 81. The reso-
luton terminating a state of war be-
tween the United States and the Gen.
trail Powers was in full force and eff
feet July 9. The Budget Law was in
force and effect June 10, in time to
apply to the new fiscal year beginning
July 1. The Sweet Bill to coordinate
all agencies dealing with e~x-service
men was a law by August 8.
In order to assist the agricultural
interests the Congress amended the
War Finance Corporation Act, which
provided a round billion dollars of new
credit for agricultural and livestock
interests; passed the Packers and
%Stockyards Act, the Capper-Tincher
Act to regulate grain exchanges and
the Nelson-Curtis Act, which increased
the funds available for farm loans in
the sum of $25, 900, 900.

fancy Welfare Act 1t appropriated

Blow for the Minister.

In a certain church one of the
duties of the old sexton was to pump
the organ. The man was deaf and
nerhaps on that account had fallen
into the somewhat embarrassing habit
of abruptly quitting his task before a
hymn was ended.
One Sunday a minister was
coming, and, since he was young and
unmarried, the young lady who play
ed the organ, naturally wanted to ap-
pear to the best advantage. AS soon
as the service had begun she wrote
a note and handing it to the sexton
told him to read it at once. Evident
ly the old man did lot correctly catch
her words, for to her horror she saw
him go to the minister right after the
first hymn and hand him the note.
The minister opened it and read:
Keep blowing steadily away until
tell you to stop."-EXchange.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Now that everybody's talkin' through
the air, why not let the trees hold a
bit of conversation? Do you see one
in the back yard-tall, dignified,
stately? Gee, when the wind blows
how it bends, but it don't break.
Roots are deep and firm in the
ground. How about our roots? Are
they planted deep in the ground of
common sense, poise, kindly interest
and all the other things that make a
man a man. Then we sit under the
shelter of the branches of our friend
and wonder about our own branches,
Are they reaching out in helpfulness
and gathering under their protecting
leaves the poor and the downtrodden
and those who are bearing the heat
an burden of the day? Say, that old
tree can talk for hours if you'll just
start him 9oin'.

SEVERE PENALTY FOR
BREAKING GAME LAWS

Apparently no act passed by the
last Legislature has caused more gen.
eral satisfaction among sportsmen
than the law which places a super
penalty upon the habitual poacher.
Upon his second conviction for break
ing the hunting and fishing code, in
addition to the usual penalty, it is pro
vided in the new law that the court
shall Immediately revoke the viola
tors license and for a period of two
years from the date of the second
violation, he shall be denied the priv
ilege of a license to hunt or fish in
this State.
