animals the charge of being harm
full to poultry, a fact which has
doubtless delayed favorable legisla-
ton. Thirty-seven States have Civ
en- the raccoon protection, with open
seasons ranging from one to five
months, while it is still unprotected
in 10 States. Three months, in the
opinion of the Biological Survey, is
sufficient open season for any fur
bearer, and if the coming generation
of boys and girls want raccoon coats
to wear to football games and else
where, evidently some effort must
be made to conserve the source of
supply.
The same considerations apply as
we'll to the protection of the opos-
sum, which, like the raccoon, is val
ued both for fur and food. The
natural habitat of the opossum is
confined to 20 States, where the
close season should, says the Bio
logical Survey, begin not later than
March 1 and extend at least to No
vember 1. This would protect the
opossum during the breeding sea-
son.

BUREAU OF HOME ECONOMIC

The Bureau Of Home Economies
of the United States Department of
Agriculture is making study of
the causes and remedies of food dis
likes of children. Facts are being
collected from the mothers of such
children by means of a question
naire circulated through the Merrill
Palmer Nursery School of Detroit
and the American Association of
University Women. This associa-
tion was selected as a cooperator
because it has organized among it's
members groups for the study of
problems of the pre-school child,
and these mothers are therefore in
an excellent position to furnish this
research of the bureau. From the
summary of the experiences Of a
large number of mothers the bur-
eau hopes to work out suggestions
that will aid in preventing children
from forming food antipathies and
will help in overcoming them once
they become established.

MANY DOGS nLPOp. /

An interesting sidelight on the
breeding of domestic animals in the
United States is the number of pure
bred animals imported for breeding
purposes. Most of the livestock in
this country is descended from
foundation stock from foreign coun-
tries, but so favorable are condi-
tions here for stock raising that
this country now holds first position
in livestock resources.
During the last fiscal year, ended
June 80, 1925, according to the re-
port of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, more purebred dogs were
imported than any other kind Of
purebred domestic animal. The Of
fetal figures are as follows: Dogs,
1866; cattle, 1,426; sheep, $40;
horses, 339; swine, 21; cats, IA.
Compared with the preceding year,
imported purebred dogs and sheep
show a considerable increase and
cattle a decrease. All of the fore
going numbers, department officials
point out, are very small in propor-
tion to the total number of domes-
tic animals in this country, which
is about 2OO,OOO,OOO head. The fig
ures are small also in comparison
with native purebred livestock,
which, though only, about per cent
of the total, number several mil
lion head. The United States,
though still acquiring small num-
bers of purebred breeding stock
from abroad, apparently raises al
most all of it's finely bred domestic
animals.

WE NEED THE MARINE.

Everyone who believes in the
American merchant marine will
agree with this statement of the
Secretary of Commerce.:
For the protection, of our COM
merce from discrimination and
from combinations which would
impose onerous freight rates we
must maintain upon each of the
twenty overseas trade routes that
are connecting links between our
inland trade routes and foreign
countries the operation of a very
substantial shipping under the Am
erican flag.
Commerce cannot operate upon
uncertainty of transportation; it re-
quires regular ferry-like sailings
over essential routes"
The difficulties which we are en-
countering in getting our merchant
marine on to a permanent basis are
not from lack of widespread SEN
timent favoring the merchant mar
inc, but from the failure to agree on
a definite and satisfactory plan of
procedure. The American people
want our merchant marine perpetu-
ated and they want it done in the
soundest way economically and the
one which will place the least bur-
den on the government. No matter
whether the ships are operated by
the government or by private ship
ping interests with the assistance of
the government, either directly or
indirectly, the merchant marine
must be perpetuated4 Our national

'COONs AND 'POSSUMs-
FUR, FOOD, AND SPORT

"This item is for the ladies'" said
radio announcer reporting Il big
football game. GAS 1 look around
the stadium, I see 1000 red hats,
1900 orange hats, and about 10000
raccoon coats" Though his guess
on the number of raccoon or other
fur coats was doubtless wide of the
mark, the number of fur coats worn
by both men and women for sports
and driving has increased enormous
ly in the past few years, and this
bit of comment at such an unusual
ly large outdoor gathering is not
surprising. The raccoon ranks third
among the four most important fur
bearers in this country from the
standpoint of financial returns from
the annual catch, the other three be-
ing the muskrat, the skunk, and the
opossum.
It would seem that this animal
should be more highly valued and
protected throughout its range dur
ing the breeding period and the
time of unprime fur, since it affords
not only fur, but also food and sport,
yet it shares with many other fur

SELF DETERMINATION
CAUSES EUROPE'S ILLS

The theory of the self determine
ton of peoples, and the attempt to
write it into the Versailles treaty
is responsible for most of the pres
ent day ills of Europe according to
Sir John Power member of the
British parliament who is now in
the United States. Sir John again
recounted how, for a century be-
fore the war the affairs of Europe
were ruled by concert of six great
power, Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy, Austria and Russia.
Germany was overthrown in the
war, Russia was overthrown by boil
shevism and Austria was dismem-
bered. Racial hatred famed up
higher than ever after the armistice
and took advantage of the theory of
self determination advanced as a
remedy for the ills of Europe.
The result of self-determination
was the creation of a number of
new states in eastern Europe, all
armed to the teeth, who surrounded
themselves by high tariff walls,
maintained huge armies in proper
ton to their size and thus demobil-
lied from industry a large proper
ton of their man power" Sir John
stated.
Before the war we had six minor
states in eastern Europe with an
aggregate population of 22,OOO,00O.
Now we have thirteen states there
with an aggregate population of
100000, ,OOO."

NO GOLDEN TREES TO

There is no mystic tree of sue

just as hard now to get to the top
of the ladder as did the youngster
of previous generations, according
to Cameron Beck, who for several
years has been personnel director
of the New York Stock Exchange.
In a recent address to members Of
a high school division in Boston,
Mr.. Beck took exceptions to the
idea that it is easy to make a for
tune on Wall Street without work.
Mr.. Beck told of a boy who came
to ask for job, explaining that Of
ter a few questions he found that
the youngster had not made the
most of his opportunities in his pre-
vious position. II told him: GO

around his neck and kiss him, and

you. You wouldn't work for me a

FOUR SENATE SEATS
ARE BEING CONTESTED

There are contests for the seats
of four United States senators, a
greater number than usual, to be
taken up by the Senate at it's ap-
preaching session. The seats to be
contested are those of Senator
Smith w. Brookhart, of Iowa,
Thomas D. Schall, of Minnesota,
elected in 1924 to succeed Senator
Magnus Johnson; Sam G. Bratton,
of New Mexico, and Gerald P. Nye,
recently appointed by Governor Sor-
lie, of North Dakota to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Sen
ator Ladd.
Senator Brookhart's seat is being
contested by Dan F. Steck, who was
the Democratic candidate for SEN
ator from Iowa in the 1924 election.
Brookhart's success seemed assur-
ed until few weeks before the cleo
ton when he attacked the national
administration and lined up with
Senator La Toilette. This so ang-
cred a great number of the Repub-
licans Of Iowa that they voted for
Steck. The result was so close as
to be still in doubt.
1t is said that the outcome of this
contest may have an effect on the
election of 1926 when Senator Cum
Minis will be a candidate to succeed
himself.
The seating of Gerald P. Nye re-
wolves about the right of the Cover
nor of North Dakota to fill a sena-
tOrial vacancy by appointment, the
opposition of Nye claiming that the
law gives the governor no such
right. Nye is said to be radical
and it is expected, will be supported
in his efforts by the radicals in the
Senate.
The right of Mr.. Schall, of Mime
sofa is being contested by Magnus
Johnson, who claims that Schall de-
feated him by unfair methods. In
New Mexico Sam G. Bratton defeat
ed Senator H. o. Bursum in the
1924 election on the face of returns,
but Senator Bursum claims that he
himself was legally elected and has
filed a contest.

TAX COLLECTIONS GROW;
SHOW U. S. PROSPEROUS

Although the tax rates were cut,
the tax collected on incomes shows
higher total in 1924 than the pre-
vious year, according to statistics
made public by the internal revenue
bureau. The gain in tax receipts for
the year 1924 was $25,482,68O.
The growth of tax receipts re-
suited in spite of the fact that there
were nearly 100000 fewer tax re-
turns filed than in the previous
year. The aggregate net personal
income was O2S,21O,S9S which is
nearly one per cent greater than
the total net incomes of 1928 show
ing that the earning capacity of the
people of the country is still on the
increase.
There were substantial decreases
in the number of returns for the
classes with incomes from $1,000 to
$4,000. For 1928, total of 2,515,324
filed returns on incomes from $1,000
to $4,000, while in 1924 the number
was 2,350,494. There was a reduc-
ton from 2,47O,97O to 2.SOS,S62 in
the number of returns on incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000. Those between
$4,000 and $4,000 decreased from
1,125,462 to 1,O51,346.
Increases were shown in the num-
ber of returns for the class begin
ming with incomes of $4,000 and ex-
tending to the millionaire class. |

ENCOURAGING MARS

Bishop John L. Neulson, of Eur
ich, Switzerland, recently declared at
a meeting of the board of foreign
missions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church that "by canceling European
nations debts, or giving them easy
terms, America would encourage the
spirit of militarism."
II do not believe it is fair" the
Bishop declared, ito shift the bur-
den of the present insane militarism
from the shoulders Of European tax
payers upon the American public"
Here is the best answer to the
debt cancellationists in our own
country. If the League of Nations
is an effective organization to pre-
vent war, and if the Locarno treaty
is what it is cracked up to be, there
is no longer an excuse for great
standing armies in Europe. If arm
les were reduced to a peace basis the
money owing to America could
easily be paid. By cancelling these
debts we would only be encouraging
the maintenance of great military
machines in Europe. Yet lot of
our own sentimentalists profess to
believe that Uncle Sam is a Shy
lock in insisting on the validity of
obligations between nations. In pro-
noting a spurious philanthropy in
America they are feeding Mars in
Europe.

SEVERAL DAUGHTERS
OF 1912 ARE ACTIVE


There are 263 real daughters o.
the War of 1912 who are active il
the society of the Daughters of 181;
according to Mrs. Charles Fisher
Taylor who writes entertainingly oi
the society, its history and its pur.
poses in the current number of the
National Republic. Mrs. Taylor
says:
''The National Society of the Uni
ted States Daughters of 1912 is COM
posed of the descendants of the
patriots who served their country
during the struggle with Great
Britain in 1872.
"This organization is non-section-
al, non-sectarian and non-partisan.
It's motto is Liberty and Fratern-
ity." The general purpose of the So
ciety is to promote patriotism. It
seeks to preserve and increase
knowledge of the history of the
American people through the pres
ervation of the documents and rel
les, the marking of historic spots,
the recording of family history and
traditions, the celebrating of pa
triotic anniversaries, and particu-
larly the emphasizing and teaching
of heroic deeds of the civil, mill
tary and naval life of those who
nodded this republic and saved it
from foes, both within and without,
between the close of the American
Revolution and the ending of the
War of 1872.
"The society was founded Janu-
ary 8, 1892, by the late Mrs. Flora
Adams Darling. In 1897, during the
presidency of Mrs. William Gerry
Slade, of Massachusetts,, the society
was incorporated by an act of Con-
gress as "The National Society Uni
ted States Daughters Of 1872" The
signing of this bill is said to have
been the last official act of Presi-
dent William Mckinley prior to his
untimely death at the hands of an
assassin. Mrs. Slade gave eighteen
years of her busy life to the Office
of national president of the society.
'The insignia of the society is
composed of gold with blue enamel,
and represents a star resting upon
an anchor. The center of the star
bears the inscription, "U. S. D.,
1872"

the names of 26S real daughters as

Sammy Parks cut himself a

Eddie Frost found Bob Burton a

each other on the start, and Frost
came to the turn three up. Burton
unleashed some of his heavier
guns then, but at the fourteenth
