Declares Naturalist Work
Through Biological Survey

DR.. w. T. Hornaday who was enter
tanned by the Park County Rod and
Gun Club when he visited Cody last
spring on his way to the coast, charg-
es in a recent interview published in
the New York Times, that the ammu-
milton makers of America are behind
the opposite to reduce the Federal
bag limit on ducks, geese and other
migratory birds, which measure, DR..
Hornaday declares, is absolutely nee
essary to save them extinction at no
distant date.
No one who knows DR.. Hornaday
can for a moment doubt his sincerity
or question his knowledge of the game
situation as he has given a lifetime to
the work of saving the big game and
the game birds of America.
In the interview, DR.. Hornaday as
serted that the ammunition manufac-

tNEWS FROM THE CLUB
CAMP AT STATE FAIR
(By Marjory Eels)

We are all glad to know that Park
county brought back some of the ba-
con from the State Fair at Douglas.
Our Girls Work was well represented
there, we sent as our best demonstra-
ton team Faye Bradford and Francis
Roney, two Powell girls, who gave
a demonstration on helps in launder-
ing and removal of stains.
There were eighteen competing
teams from other counties in the state
and our girls won third place. Fran
els Roney also entered a cloth judg-
ing contest in which she was second.
We entered twenty-three exhibits of
clothing consisting of five articles
each which the girls of each team had
selected as their best exhibits. Elma
Scott of Powell won the first prize
and Mildred McKelvey second in the
fourth year work Larcena Tvidness
of Penrose won first place and Edith
May of Powell sixth, there were over
fifty entries each in the first and Sec
ond years work.
We also took twenty-eight jars of
canned goods and brot home a blue
ribbon for Maxine Brown of Powell
on her display of canned meats and
a white n on her fruits. Ardella
Moore entered all her jars in special
class and took third place.
AS for the exhibits in general, Miss
jacobson our state clothing specialist
who judged all the girls clothing work
said that the club work was fully 70
per cent better than last year. There
was scarcely room enough around the
walls of the big room for the exhibits
from all the counties and we over
heard many of the women who ex-
amined the work exclaiming over the
quality of the work, saying that it was
better than they could do. There was
a platform fixed up in the center of
one side of this room with chairs a.
round it where the teams put on THEN
demonstration one every hour Tues
day, Wednesday, and Thursday. The
subjects of the demonstrations varied
from appropriate dress, line and col
or. tyeing and dyeing, furnishing a
bed room, to beekeeping, poultry cul-
ling and other interesting topics.
The expense of sending each team
is borne by the county from which
they come and while they are at the
Fair they live in a camp which is
maintained by the Fair Association.
The old poultry building has been re-
nodded this year to serve as quarters
for the girls while the boys lived in
tents, all their meals were paid for by
the Fair Association and served by
the ladies of the Methodist church.

ment of Agriculture, which now makes
the Federal game regulations. He
said that these manufacturers had ex-
ercised a beneficial influence for
years in the direction of game conser-
walton, but that recently their influ-
ences had been thrown against all
measures which would reduce shoot
ing and cut their profits from this
source.
DR.. Hornaday asserted that DUPONT
Remington and other powder and gun
interests were in contact with the BIZ
illogical Survey through the Advisory
Committee of the Department of Ag-
riculture on the Migratory Bird
Treaty. He said that John B. Burn
ham, the Chairman of the committee,
was at once the chief advisor of the
Government and the representative OF
the gun and powder makers, though
his position at the head of the Ameri-
can Game Protective and Propagation
Association, which received support
from the manufacturing interests.
81 am discouraged, gloomy and pes
simistic because the birds are on the
ragged edge of oblivion" declared the
famous naturalist. II am trying to
adjust my mind to a result that seems
quite inevitable. The bird defenders
hold few good cards and all the high
trumps seem to be held by the bird
destroyers. For years / have noted
the awful annual increase in the bird
slaughter and for years ! have dread
ed the arrival of the day when the
small circle of men who control game
protection matters in Washington de-
eide that no more reductions should
be made in the killing privileges of
sportsmen and game hogs.
"That day has arrived. First the
gun makers American Game Protec-
ton Association and then the Cuitod
States Department of Agriculture
very firmly decided that the Federal
bag limits on migratory birds should
not be reduced by the annual Federal
regulation. John B. B%urnham, presi-
dent of the gun makers association,
opened the attack on the reform mea-
sure. He officially is the chief advisor
of the Department of Agriculture or
migratory bird laws.
"The Federal Government is in
Close agreement with the paid agents
of the big corporations who make and
sell guns and ammunition. For eight
years the President of those corpor-
atoms has occupied the position of
chief advisor to the Department of
Agriculture, which has been especially
charged by Congress with the enforc-
ment of the migratory bird laws. 1t
is reported that John B. Burnham's
influence in the Biological Survey is
paramount, and the records point that
way.
"The split between the gun crowd
and field has come about over the

what was making it and it seemed TO
him as if his heart stood right still.
That ripple was being made by Billy
Mink. With just his brown head
above the water Billy was swimming
along close to the rushes. If he kept
on the way he was headed he would
pass so close that he would almost
touch one end of that board. the op-
posite end from where Danny was
sitting.
Now Billy Minks eyes are as sharp
as any eyes of which ] know. There
is little those sharp eyes miss. But
they missed something this time

no expectation Of finding Meadow Mice

was on his mind just then. If he sa "

on the old board which might have
been a little heap of mud or some
thing. Had Danny so much as twitch-

difference in the world both to Danny
and 10 Billy Mink. The least move
ment on Danpy's part would have led
Billy to stop and investigate.

after Billy had passed Danny remain

narrow had been his escape and he

their work is done they pass on
But stranger still. they show a

Use Of Gray, White or Beige Gloves
BY MARY MARSHALL.

luncheon and dinner were most in
formal family meals many women
always wore gloves. They were prac-
tically obligatory at dinner parties
and dances and the theater, and
young debutantes used TO be reproved
who discarded their gloves even for
few minutes during he matinee or
evening performance at the play.
Your perfect lady OF those days was
trained not to feel the irritation of
wearing gloves. In fact. some of
them actually felt lost without them.
Now, OF course. we no longer regard
gloves in that light at all but they
have become tremendously importa Mt .
so important, in fact that French fash
ion critics repeatedly assure us that
gloves are quite as importa Mt as shoes
in the achievement Of really smart
street costume. We are made TO feel
that it is all important to have the
gloves carry out the tone OF the whole.
as If they could mar and quite
ruin the good effect of an otherwise
ings the gloves should be beige. never
pure white. With gray stockings
gray gloves.
In this country women Of diScrim
mating taste seem TO have taken a
decided fancy to washable doeskin
gloves of slip-on variety. To the
woman who wants 10 simplify her
dressing problems as much as pos
sfble this type OF glove is always q
nuisance. or course when one has a
personal maid to see that these gloves
are perfectly washed and that there
are always enough fresh ones on
hand 1t does not seem difficult.
In the meantime the ornate cuff.
ed glove appeals strongly to a very
large ma jority of American women
and there seems little chance of its
going out of favor for many, many
moons.

But no one did see him and with
little sigh of relief he rambled
out on that piece Of board. 1t was
plenty big enough 10 support him. II
was a raft for him. But once on that
board Danny had new worries. Here
there was no grass TO hide him. He
was right in plain sight of whoever
should happen along. There was just
one thing to do. That one thing was
10 make himself appear as small as
possible and to keep perfectly still.
So Danny didn't even stop TO dress
his fur after its wetting. He crouched

there he sat without moving so much

Redtail the Hawk sailed over high
above the Smiling Pool. Had Danny
moved ever so little those wonderful
ewes of Redtail's would have seen thai
movement and would have recognized
him But because Danny didn't move
all that Redtail saw was little bump.
so TO speak, on that floating old board
Danny's coat and the old board were
almost the same color. 1t was the last
place in the world Redtail expected to
see a meadow mouse, and so he didn't
see one.
But keeping still that way right out
in the open was hard work. Yes. in
deed. IL was hard work But Danny
did il. Little b. little that board
drifted across the Smiling Pool until
IL reached the rushes. Then it drifted
in amongst the rushes a little way and
stopped. Danny gave little sigh OF
relief Those rushes gave him some
protection. He didn't feel that he was
quite so much in the open. He felt
that If he was careful he might stretch
q. little without running too much risk.
He stretched first one leg and then
another. He did 1t very cautiously.
Then once again he sat motionless.

HOW TT STARTED
"ChronolopY.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

When we arrange a series OF facts
in chronological order we place them
in the order in which they happened.
in their place with reference to time
So chronology is the system of placing
In order of time. of arranging events
in their consecutive place.
Tt is from the ancient Greek name
for the god of time that we have this
word in modern speech He was
kronos, also spelled "Chronos," who
corresponded to the Roman god
Saturn.
Whether Kronos was regarded by
the ancients as the god of time be-
cause he was supposed to have been
born Of heaven or infinity. from which
we have time, or whether the asso-
citation was simply the result Of SINH
larity between the name "Kronos"
and the word "chronos," meaning
time. is a debatable question AS 1t
comes TO us, however in our heritage
of Greek mythology, we have Kronos
or Chronos, the god of time, who has
intrenched himself into our language
