Change Game
Laws Affects
Deer Hunter rs

With the opening of the deer sea-
son in the coast counties on Au-
gust 1, attention is called to a new
provision in the game laws which
prohibits the transportation of deer
from an open district into closed
district. Consequently, San Joa-
duin Valley hunters who wish to
hunt in the coast range will not be
allowed TO take theirs home until
after the season opens III the Sierra
ON September /. The seasons IN the
coast and Sierran districts are both
open during the first two weeks IN
September and deer can be trans
ported either from the Sierra to the
coastal region or from the coastal
region to the great valley during
these two weeks.
Undoubtedly, this regulation VIII
cause Inconvenience TO many hunt
ers, but it affords Que of the only
means of actually enforcing the
limit laws and IL reduces the
chances of q man being able to
secure more than the one limit of
deer which the law allows, by hunt
ing first in one district and then in
another. The law provides that
deer found anywhere except in dis
tricts 9, 2H and 3 until after the
first Of September, will be consid
cred illegally taken and will sub.
ject the owner to fine, imprison-
ment, or both.

Under ordinary household condi-

thes refrigerator is generally the
best means for keeping foods cool,
states the United States Depart
meait of Agriculture. When ice is
placed in the refrigerator, it begins
Is melt by absorbing heat from
The surrounding air. This air, be-
coming colder and heavier settles
to .the lower part of the refrigera-
tor while the warmer air rises,
gives up heat by coming in contact
with the ice, and in turn becomes
rAisled and sinks to the bottom.
These currents of air come in
contact with the food, absorb heat
from it, and so cool it.

peads its value as a storage place

Scientist Tells
Of Gland Uses
By United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, Ore, August IL
Making over a mans mental as

cation OF abnormal gland functions,
This, according to DR.. Clayton
Wheeler, gland specialist of Los
Angeles, will ultimately mean that
many social liabilities, inmates of
penitentiaries and asylums, will be
made over into useful citizens.
Wheeler. as & specialist, has gone
deeper into the question CT gland
functions than the popular study of
reJuvenation by giand operations.
He says glands are responsible for
many things in mankind.
BY manipulation of certain
glands, the twin can be made Il

or depressed, and these bring GER

"The study of glands began to
only attract attention a few years
ago, Dr.. Wheeler said. Since then
it. has opened up a new field OF
medicine, he believes, and the re-
