A NEW GAME LAW
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

tory game. Thus, the man who will
enjoy the advantages to be gained
through the enactment of this legis-
lation pays yearly what amounts to
81 premium on his sports in
surance.' The man who hunts only
deer, pheasant. quail. rabbit or other
local game will not be affected in any
way by the law.
1t is also insisted that the bill has
been so drawn that there is no dan
ger of usurpation by the Federal Cow
ernment of the rights of any State
Ample safeguards have been inserted
to insure each State it's complete
sovereignty. Furthermore, it is said
that the measure is favored by the
agricultural interests because of the
part migratory birds play in the saw
ing of crops from destructive insect
pests and the part the sportsmen
have played in preserving the birds
This In the Seni-Centenary.
The year 1924 marks the semi-cente-
nary Of the sportsmen's movement
for the conservation of game in the
United States There have been game
laws since the colonists first settled
the country, but they were In the
early days class gestures or anti-class
gestures with little or nothing be-
hind them. 1t was not until 1874 that
the men who loved shooting began
generally to realize their responsible
tty toward the game and that with
the American system OF publicly own
ed game the duty Of protecting 1t was
theirs.
Prior to that year there had been
few sportsmen's associations, the
result OF sporadic outbursts of en-
thusiasm which neither led very far
nor lasted very long, but in that
year game protective organizations
sprang up everywhere and the con-
servation movement was really started.
The first efforts were directed to-
ward bringing about the enforcement
of existing laws and to procure the
enactment OF more advanced protec-
tive legislation Of a prohibitory char
acter. These activities soon resulted
in the formation of State game COM
missions, the first Of which was estab-
lished In New Hampshire in 1878, and
the organised sportsmen backed up
the commissions in the setting of
bag limits and closed seasons.
Pennsylvania is cited as a shining
example of what State can do along
".
Thirty or forty years ago Pennsyl-
vania was nearly shot out. There
was SO little game left Of any variety
that It was scarcely worth while to
60 hunting But the State game COM
mission began establishing a great
system OF game refugees and public
shooting grounds. stocking empty
covers with game from other Sec
tions, and carrying on an educational
campaign to teach the people Of the
State the value Of its game supply
and to show sportsmen how they
could secure good shooting.
The result Of all that was that last
year Pennsylvania hunters killed
6,452 buck deer, 500 bears, 33 elk (the
first open season. 6,04s wild turkeys
and smaller game by the hundreds of
thousands. The remarkable thing
about this 10 that, although all this
game was killed in 1898 and almost
one person in four in Pennsylvania
hunted at one time or another during
ths ysar. the stocking has been 90
thorough and the game supply SO
well cared for that Its breeding stock
has not been diminished.

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

Now that most Of tho Pacific coast
north of the Tehachapi Is either
gnashing It's teeth or smiling sar-
donicaliy at the selection of the
name Los Angeles for the ZR-3-our
latest and most unbeeoming Yep
pelin-people are telling anew some
OF the stories that illustrate the
boosting. the never-say-die spirit Of
the angels Of Los Angeles.
Ono OF the best of these Is related
by Royal d. Mead, sometimes Of
Honolulu. but more often recently of
Washington, D. c. Mr.. Mead tells
OF the man from Los Angeles visit
ing the Hawaiian Islands and re-
fusing absolutely to be impressed by
any OF the wonderful things he saw
there. There was absolutely nothing
In the beautiful Pacific paradise
which could compare In any way
with the lampposts of Los Angeles.
Finally the host of the booster
vowed by the beach of waikiki that
he would make the visitor surrender.
He put him on a boat and took him
to the Island of Hawaii TO see the
world famous volcano of kilauea.
The two trudged UP to the crater and
there looked down upon the stream
ing molten mass lava which has
the centuries The man from south
ern California at last seemed inn
pressed. The host had a triumphant
note in his voice.
We'll, now old man." he exclaimed,
"you can't say that you have any
thing like that in Los Angeles, eh'
what?"
The visitor shook his head and
pondered for a moment:
mo- he said, but I'll tell you
what we have got: we've got a fire
department that would put this thing
out in 20 minutes"
The cities on the coast that do not
think as much OF Los Angeles as
does Secretary Wilbur wouldn't mind
were called Los Angeles" meaning
"the angels" but when 1t Is con-
stantIy referred to as The Los

is taken wholly from the city, there

"Static. I"

The Weather Bureau has had many
requests that it institute service OF
forecasting radio reception conditions.
The bureau is favorable and says:
"Fragmentary experiences lead us to
believe. that radio weather forecasts
for at least q. day or two In advance
may be practicable However, we feel
that IT would be unwise to attempt a
new work Of this Sort in a hit,and.
miss way, and that 1t should not be
begun until the subject has been
studied thoroughly and systematically
and We are, convinced that reliable
and Worthwhile service can be given" "
1t is an interesting question. What
the Weather Bureau can do about 1t
is difficult to say, but. IL 1t can do
anything many ladies and gentlemen
who tune In on WCCO, kPO, WHB,
XIII and all the. rest will call 1t
blessed. Ability to forecast the "air"
would be forward stride, but what
is needed is the correction OF certain
evil conditions. Every man who is In
terested in the latest miracle Of trans.
mission knows that the air contains
too many demons. Their shrieks and
walls are heard. Even between Wash.
ington and WIP, WDAR, WEAF,
WGBS and other nearby places there
come through the tubes not alone the
voices of raving demons, but also the
vocal offerings OF mountain lions and
the songs Of wild cats. Screech owls
add chansons to the medley. Packs
Of firecrackers are set off by unau.
thorized individuals. Something must
be done about 1t. The Public Utilities
Commission admits that it will do
nothing. The Commissioners say that
Congress will have to, enlarge their
authority before they can deal with
the witches who howl and whistle at
us. The Society for the Prevention OF
Useless Noises has been appealed to,
If there are many more Interruptions
to enjoyment Of "a dance program by
the Tea and Coffee Supper Orchestra
being broadcast by Station Xxx"
some radio addicts are going to cast
aside restraint and call a cop.

LOTS TO LEARN

One of the factors retardng road development is
lack of appreciation of the modern science of highway
building and using.
We know too many things about roads winch are
not SO!
Many of our highway ideas are twenty years be-
hind the times. We haven't caught up with the engl-
neer.
For instance, "all roads out. The enormous
money invested in them is thus capital loss"
Roads do not wear out. The surface of good
road wears, of course So does the roof of mousse
But replacing the house roof doesn't mean that the
of the house isn't good. The surface OF road IS
its roof If out it must be replaced But that
doesn't that the right of way, the grade founda
on and all the material any less valuable than at
first
"Trucks destroy roads Therefore trucks should
pay for roads" That too, is a faacy A truck no
more destroys road, when truck and road fit, than
baby carriage destroys garden path. 1t is lack OF
maintenance which destroys roads it Is allowing TOO
light road to be built for the traffic it will bear,
which destroys roads it is failure to enact wide tire
and maximum load laws which destroys rosd ds.
There isn't money enough to pay for national
highways. We will all be bankruptsl" More fallacy.
There are fourteen million motor in the United
States. If they worth average of $500 each
(which is underestmate) they represent invest
ment of 81 100000 Did get bankrupt buying
them? We did not! Why should we get bankrupt
buying seven billion dollars worth of roads . and
the interest billions will build today
tional highways than we have yet engineers and
chinery TO build.
Transportation has been for US Americans, moth
ing but rail and water for all our history. Now
are compelled to translate the word into highways"
and motors" Motors understand highways,
as vet, we only partially comprehend, and motor
transport" whole is yet sealed book to most of
US.

no more true today, than what is proper road width
