signed to bring about concerted action against
the vermin in the interests of the farmer and the
sportsman. Incidentally the campaign will stinu-
late the market for shells.
There has arisen, however, wide disagree
ment among experts about this campaign.
Officials of the United States Department OF Agrl-
culture assert that certain of the BIRDS hsteo
should not be widely killed. At the same time
they agree that some of the birds and animals are
predatory and could be classified vermn. Ihere
is disagreement as well among the of1clais o. tne
various states, and between state laws relating 70
game and firearms
II The association made inquiries in the states and
found that the laws relating to the open carrying
of firearms range from strict prohibition, except
during the hunting season, to restriction at all.
The laws and opinions as to the vermin list vary
as widely. In Virginia, for instance, the depart
ment of game and inland fisheries had instituted
a campaign for vermn control in advance of the
gunpowder company. Here is the departments
statement:
we believe that the matter of vermin control in
America has never heretofore received the proper
attention and that controlSo of the vermin which
prey upon useful wild life and game birds and AMI
mails is just as necessary for their conservation as
bag limits. hunting and other restrictions
in the interest of the hunter. We are not unmlnd-
full of the fact that of the hawks and some OF
the owls are probably more beneficial than harm
full We do not believe 1t Is possible, nor would we
desire, exterminate the any other species
of bird or animal; however, we do believe that by
greatly reducing the number predatory birds and
animals we effect great saving in useful WILD
life.g We ind SO to speak. two schools OF thought

theorists and scientists; the other by the dead prac
tical man. who has no vision and often walks over

opposes the campaign. Ohios laws allow the

It is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything
It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.

goes on TO say:
Beyond these considerations there questions

will be to loose in the fields and woods, outside OF
the hunting season, thousands with guns on their

picncker and the passing automobilist from the

From reading of the hundreds of columns be-

that the controversy has become largely centered

Insects Well Provided
by Nature With Eyes

Some insects are literally provided
with eyes, In general, they have two
kinds simple and compound. Simple
eyes are like our own, though less
efficient, while compound eyes are
composed of numerous facets or
lenses.
Most people know how difficult 1t
is to catch the common hOuse-hy.
This is not surprising when one real
ICES that a fy's eye possesses 1900
facets. Consequently there Is not
much that is out of its line Of vision
The dragon-fiy's eye has 10000 facets,
and the Mordella beetles eye is made
up of no fewer than $4,000.
While the compound eyes never ex-
coed two, the single eyes vary in
number from one to eighteen or TWEEN
ty. They are situated in groups on
each side of the head.
Spiders and scorpions have DotA
single ant compound eyes though
they appear to derive little benefit
from them.

that it is purely commercial proposition. One
result is nationwide controversy among all

What are vermin? Which are the friends and
which the enemies of man among the various ami

birds condemned as vermn includes swapping

that weasel is a terror; that some of the hawks

they would not pick on the kingfsher. They would
admit that the porcupine kills many trees and is
an unmitigated nuisance in camp, but they
would not have 1t exterminated for the reason
that it is the only edible animal that an unarmed
tenderfoot lost and starving in the woods can
catch and kill.

GLORIA LEVINCE
 HAS PART AGAIN
Child Star Appears In Daddy Dumplins'
 At Jefferson

But three performances remain in which theatergoers may enjoy the appealing romance of the mysterious east, "The Love of Su Shopg," with which the All-Star Jefferson Players have been delighting audiences this week. "The Love of Su Shong" closes Saturday night to make way for that delightful comedy drama, Daddy Dumplins," which will be offered all next week, beginning Monday night.
 "The leading roles in this pleasing comedy drama will be portrayed by these real artists, Selmer Jackson and Arthur Byron. Heading a group of clever youngsters is little Gloria Lev inges, who won the hearts of Birming- ham theatergoers with her perform ance in "Daddies" a few weeks ago.
 Daddy Dumplins" brings to the stage one of the most loveable characters the drama has produced in recent years. His hobby is children and he keeps flocks of them around him. He has money enough to keep them comfort able and happy. Then his fortune melts away and the children have to leave. But they come back again in one of the most pleasing climaxes of the decade.
