BOUNTY HUNTERS WIN
 BIG SUMS BY FRAUD

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 3.-The coy ote, the fox and the wolf long have stood as synonyms of guile and re- sourcefulness, but many hunters have put these animals to shame accord ing to accounts related by A. K. Fish CT of the Federal biological survey, who recently passed through here on an inspection trip.
 Thousands of dollars have been collected illegally by dishonest hunt CTS, MT. Fisher declared. He said the most famous fraud was perpetrated in Wisconsin where $25O,O0O was paid on the heads of wolves shipped in from Nevada. He added that about $1S,0OO was paid in Pennsylvania before the deception was discovered.
 Wisconsin did not have many var hints, so the head hunters organized and sent men to Nevada where there were many wolves, the animals being killed and the bags shipped to Wis consin and Pennsylvania.
 Another favorite trick of the boun- ty hunter, according to MT. Fisher, is to alter rabbit and squirrel scalps so they resembled young coyotes and wolves.

RAILROADS OPPOSED TO ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-No condi- tion exists today which calls for ur- gent legislative action by congress with respect to the railroads, de clared the Association of Railway Executives at the annual meeting here yesterday.
 In an extensive declaration of policy" for the coming year, the as scoiation held that all railroad prob lens should be met as economic questions and not as political is- sues; rate making by legislative ac- ton would be destructive; amend ments to the transportation act must be kept from political doctors; ade quate revenues should be assured the carriers to meet needs for service and expansion; more educational publicity would be developed by the roads themselves and the roads are determined to keep transportation facilities abreast of national growth.

ANNUAL MESSAGE SAYS ECONOMY
 BE WATCHWORD
May Be Possible to Reduce Taxes Next Year If
 Ills Are Remedied

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President Coolidge advised Congress in his an nual message today that perhaps the most important work it could do at the present session would be to prac- tice such rigid economy as to make possible a reduction of taxes during the next fiscal year
 The government can do more to remedy the ills of the people by a system of rigid economy in public expenditures than can be accomplish ed through any other action. Altho stressing economy President Cool idge presented wide range of other recommendations, some new and oth- CTS reiterations of proposals made a year ago in his first annual message.
 Most of these related to domestic affairs, but he also went into the field of international relations to re- new his plea for American adherance to a permanent court of international justice; to declare the United States not to be disposed to join the League of Nations; to appeal for support by public authorities and private citi- zens; for European reparations set clement plan, and to repeat his dec laration of opposition to the cancel lation by the United States of debts owned the country by foreign na- tions.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

anybody to examine him, for at least
three hours, until breathing is re-
Sumed or rigor mortiS occurs.
1t is sometimes charged that mex
perienced doctors are little too
hasty in ordering Boy Scout or
other competent first-aid attendant
to desist from such efforts and pro-
nouncing the victim dead or in inter-
ruptins the artificial respiration to
carry the victim to hospital in an
am bulance. Unless the artificial
respiration can be kept up without
interruption, it is wrong to attempt
to move the patient away from the
scene of the accident.
There is still popular impression
that some kind of artificial respira-
tion machine is better than this SIM
pie prone pressure or manual method
Even if such apparatus were imnedi-
ately available, without a moments
delay, and there were an expert pres
ent to manipulate it, the manual
method of Schafer is always safer for
the patient and always more effective
in ventilating the lungs. Therefore
there is no possible excuse in allow
ing a life to be sacrificed to ignorance
and negligence while waiting for a
machine to arrive.
OF course, a physician should be
summoned at the earliest possible
moment to treat the victim. But it
is every bystander's solemn duty to
be prepared to render this life-saving
service in any such emergency, and
today any Boy Scout, Girl Scout, fire.
man or policeman who is fit for his
place is trained and prepared to ad-
minister artificial respira tion by the
prone pressure method.

Electric Shock.

Electric shock kills by paralyzing
the breathing center. The frst-aid
object is to make the unconscious
victim breathe.
Release the victim from contact
with the current by using dry rubber
gloves, dry clothing, dry wood or rope
to avoid receiving a shock, or if pos
sible open IA switch or cut the wire to
shut off the current. The wire is
best cut with an AK or hatchet with
dry handle, and the face should be
turned away when you strike the wire
TO prevent Il flash.
AS soon as the victim is freed from
contact with the conductor, insert
finger in his mouth to make sure of
removing any foreign body, such as
a qutd of tobacco or artificial teeth,
unless the mouth is tightly closed. If
lit is closed, waste no time trying to
open it, for the victim will breathe
through the nose, and every second
of delay is dangerous.
The victim should be placed on the
groupd in the prone position, with a
folded blanket, pillow or garment
under his abdomen, his face turned
toward one side, one of his arms
stretched straight up above the head,
the other bent and the palm beside
his head. Now start artificial respira-
ton by the prone pressure or Schafer
method, which every intelligent man,
woman and child should be prepared
10 apply in any emergency.
The treatment should be kept up
without single moments interrup-
flon to move the patient or to permit

merry whistle as he slowly made his
way back to the house to tell the
news of the loss Of his prize melon.
Once more he was very close to tears,
for his disappointment was very
great. And oh, how he did wish he
had taken that melon to the house
the night before, as he had been
tempted to do!
The faces of Farmer Brown and
Mrs. Brown were very grave as they
listened to the story of Farmer
Browns Boy. They didn't like to
think that they had any neighbors
who would do such thing.
1T must have been bad boys from
the village" declared Farmer Brown.
Somehow they must have learned
about that melon and come up here
for a feast last night You know
there are boys who seem to think
that taking melons isn't stealing. 1t
is: 1t is just as much stealing as
taking other things that do not be-
long to them"
But how could boys have done
that and left no footprints?' de-
manded Farmer Browns Boy.
