Hunting Season Opens
In Jersey September |

preted by the State Fish and Game
Commission. Sportsmen nave been
puzzled by the seeming conflict of
the two laws.
The new season law permits hunt
ing for deer on the last ~ We'd
nesdays in December and the first
two Wednesdays in January, thus
making the season bridge two years.
In previous years the deer season
has been five consecutive days in
December and the law limited the
hunter to one buck during this per-
iod. The law, however, specifies
year" and not season" in fixing
bag limits for deer.
Chief Protector James NJ. STRAIT
ton has decided, and the commits
sion agrees with him. hat the bag
limit law must be interpreted as
meaning a calendar year and that a
deer hunter. next winter. will be en-
titled to get a buck during the 1922
end of the season, then resume
hunting in January and legally kill
another buck in 1923. If, however.
a hunter kills a deer during Janu-
airy 1928. he will be debarred from
deer hunting in Decemoer, 1928.

WORK ON TEMPLE DELAYED
Materials for New Masonic Structure
Fail to Arrive ON Time.

The transportation situation is prov
ing to be a real obsta Gle in the con-
struction of the new Masonic temple,
southeast corner of Tenth avenue and
Van Buren streets. Materials secured
from out of the city are not arriving
on scheduled time.
If materials can be secured the new
temple will be enclosed in about three
weeks. according to Earl Spencer. of
the firm of F. NJ. Spencer & Son, con-
tractors The cornices are now being
set and the stone work has been COM
pleted to the roof line. The lack of
face brick to complete the east and
south walls Is delaying the enclosing
of, the building. The bricks were due
to arrive six weeks ago.
The partitions have been set on the
first floor and are ready for plastering.
Difficulty has been experienced in Sc
curing partition tile. 1t is being
shipped from southern Kansas.
The window frames have been put
in place and the plate glass will be
put in position in two weeks. AS soon
as the walls are completed the tar and
gravel roof will be constructed.
The permanent boilers have been in
stalled and temporary heat for finish
ing the building, after it is enclosed,
will be furnished from the boilers.

MOTORIST MUMBLIKGS

Isn't it about time the police de-

street squawking flamboyant motor

Nearly every day Kansas avenue is
upset with a terrifying sound, a dec
GRATED float, a screaming series of
wildly painted canvas-all> because
Beautiful Bertha or Death Defying
Dan are in town at the Jim-Jam
thee-ater.
And the traffic intercepting cars
are not restricted to the advertising of
picture shows. Prize fights, motor
cars and other bargains are portrayed
noisily and distastefully.
If the private owner of a motor car
went screeching down the avenue as
these floats do he would be picked up
on a disorderly and drunkenness
charge.
The police should keep the streets
free from such hick stuff.
