 COLLEGE TAILORS

OXFORD, Eng, June 3. (P)-Not- withstanding the rage among Oxford students for elephant leg" trousers which are considerably more loose and roomy than the bloomer effect worn by the United States navy sail ors, the boys here are buying fewer clothes than formerly. Three long established tailoring firms, one of which has been in business nere for nearly half century, have gone out of business here lately, because, it was. claimed, they could not make living.
 The boys haven't got the money they had in other days to spend for clothes, aver the tailors. The students wear knickerbockers a great deal, one or two suits for the season, and can not afford to have different suit for every occasion as a great many of them did before the war.

REGULATIONS ARE ISSUED FOR
 ALASKA UNDER NEW CAME LAW
 MANY CHANGES ARE ANNOUNCED

the various bird refuges in Alaska and gives their location and quotes certain laws which govern wild life in Alaska
 This one circular contains all Fed eral laws and regulations pertaining to game animals, game and non-game birds, and fur-bearing animals in Al { aska with the exception of walrus and l sea lions which are still under the old Alaska Game Act of 1908 under the jurisdiction of the Department of ! Commerce."
 Basic Change in Law
 Ernest P. Walker, Executive Off cer of the Alaska Game Commission, suggested that the entire act and reg ulation should be carefully read by tfur buyers, traders, trappers, hunt CTS and others taking, transporting or possessing any game or fur-bearing animal or bird in Alaska. The new law is entirely different from the old law. He points out that some of the more important changes are as follows:
 "The new Act not only prohibits killing, but attempting to take, kill or transport except as is permitted by the regulations Therefore any taking, killing, possessing or trans porting of animals or birds covered by the Act which is not specifically permitted in the regulations is pro- hibited.
 "No nonresident can hunt or trap without license. To establish resi- dence one must reside in the Terri tory one year for the purpose of mak- ing his permanent home therein.
 Heretofore the transient summer population has been enjoying resi- dent hunting privileges but under the new law they will not be considered residents which makes it necessary for them to purchase non resident hunting licenses before hunting any of the game birds or game animals in Alaska. Licenses for nonresident citizen big game hunters remain at $50. An additional license at fee of s10 has been provided to take care of nonresident citizens who wish to hunt only for game birds. Resident aliens are forbidden to take any ami mals or birds protected by the Act without an alien special license cost ing $100 unless they have within the past seven years and for the first time declared their intention to be come citizens. This prevents aliens from enjoying resident citizen privi leges under second, third and fourth sets of first papers. Non resident aliens are required to take out the | $100 license.
 Nonresident hunters must have registered guides when hunting game animals, and no one who is not a reg | istered guide shall guide non resi-

These were made public today by E. P. Walker Execu tive Officer of the Commission an( Chief Agent of the U. s. Biologica Survey in the Territory.
 No change was made in the deer bag limit or in the open season. The Commission clearly defined it's pol icy regarding the use of game ami mals and birds by the Indians, which it divides into two classes. Those who have severed their tribal rela tions and exercised the right of fran chise come under the same regulation as other citizens. Those who have not voted and who still adhere tc tribal customs and rela tionships are exempt from trapping licenses and other requirements made of citizens generally.
 New Pamphlet Issued
 In an announcement issued today from local headquarters of the Al aska Game Commission, in which most of the important changes were set forth, it was said;
 "The Alaska Game Commission, Ju neau, is sending out to a large mail ing list throughout the Territory, cop ies of a pamphlet entitled Alaska Game Laws and Regulations and Fed eral Laws relating to Game and Birds in the Territory, AS it's title indi cates this pamphlet contains the tex of the new Alaska Game Laws which were passed by Congress and approv ed by the President, January 13, 1925 and regulations by the Commission and the Secretary of Agriculture Those beginning on page nine are known as the Secretary's regulations of which there are twenty-four.

of Butte, Mont, formerly an engineer
of the Portuguese East African dia-

Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Moses were
formerly co-workers in the African
diamond mines and their experiences
in hunting big game, working in the
diamond assortment trays and leading
caravans into the Congo plateau are
of great interest.
Mr.. Evans is one of the few white
men who has explored in the tribe Of
African lilliputians. These tiny black
dwarfs are queer and cunning. They
live in the bushes of Africa and are
shrewd and cunning traders.
Mr. Evans has killed several dwarf
elephants. These animals are so small
that they can hardly be classed in the
elephant family. Some are scarcely
larger than a Newfoundland dog.
Tales of the lore of the unexplored
iungles form interesting tales as told
by Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Moses.

FINDS THAT FREEDOM
is A HOLLOW THING
CONFEDERATE VETERAN, LIB
GRATED AT LAST, STAYS IN
CALIFORNIA PRISON.

FOLSOM son, Cal.-The
gates of Folsom prison swung wide
open for old Bill Simpson, its oldest
inmate, yesterday.
But Bill stayed inside.
With twenty-five years-in Folsom
behind him Bill has no place to 60.
He is a veteran Of the civil war.
Yet he cannot enter an old soldiers
home for those who fought on the
side of the union, for bill wore the
butternut and gray OF the Confeder-
acy
Down south there are homes for
gallant old followers of Jeff Davis
lost cause, but their doors are closed
to Bill, because he has worn the strip
ed denim of a prison.
Bill Simpson is 80 years old, five
time loser" He didn't seek the parole
from his forty-year sentence which
the prison. board had to withdraw I'M
til home can be found for the aged
veteran. Instead, the board offered it
to so that Bill would escape the stig-
ma of dying in prison.
Bill has borne an unblemished good
behavior record throughout his TWEEN
ty-tWo years in prison. He wears the
prison colors because his temper is OF
the hot sort that men OF his time
gloried in But that spirit became old
fashioned, and gun men such as Bill
ran amuck of the law when order
came to California in the days follow
ing the first mad rush for gold.
But-now you mention it-there is
one blemish on Bills record, after all.
Prison files show that in 1913 he was
paroled under care of a Salona county
ranch. The first night Of old Bills
new freedom a ranch hand put rec
ord on a cranky old fashioned phono-
graph 1t was My Old Kentucky
Home"
The next morning Bill Simpson was
missing. Guards overlook him at Ha-
zen, New, as he was trudging YEARLY
on swollen feet toward the land OF
cotton, where he first enlisted to fight
the battles of the south.

Issues a LeaAet on How
To Control Boil Weevil
Central Railroad Folder Tells How to
Protect Cotton From Weevil.

7. F. Jackson, general agricultural
agent Of the Central of Georgia rail-
way, has recently issued an attractive
four-page folder on preparing for boil
weevil control for the coming season.
The pamphlet contains some OF the
recommendations of the Cotton Coun
Gil, composed Of IS men representing
the railroads in the cotton growing
states. Mr.. Jackson is a member of
this committee, and the findings of
the committee, which met in Febru-
airy, were adopted by the association
of southern agricultural workers.
What Leahet Explains.
The leahet explains how infestation
counts can be taken, and calls on cot
ton growers to pay special attention
to the weevil this year and not to take
the past season as criterion OF it's
damages, as last year was very I'M
favorable one for the weevil. The sum-
mary of the folder is divided into
three definite statements. The first IS
that the weevil can be controlled by
the proper use of poison; the lnfesta-
ton count will tell when to use poison.
and any farm demonstration agent
or other agricultural field worker will
show the farmer how to make an in
festation count and poison weeviIs.

SATURN'S RINGS
ARE AT THEIR BEST
INCLINED AT ANGL E THAT
SHOWS THEM TO ADVANT-
AGE. CLOSE TO EARTH.

WASHINGTON.-Saturn with its
three rings, brighter than at any 9TH
err time this year, will open the sum-
mer star gazing season in May, Sat
urn will be found in Virgo, in the east
in the early evening and due south at
midnight. Saturn comes into Opposi-
ton with the sun on May z,
Bv opposition is meant that the
earth will be between the planet and
the sun. Saturn will be nearer the
earth on May End than at any other
time during the year
Although one of the more distant
planets, Saturn will be only little
matter of S21, $4,000 miles away on
May End. Uranus and Neptune are
still more distant. Neptune is nearly
5000, 900 miles from the sun. IRA
nus can be picked up as a faint sixth
magnitude star if you know just
where to look, but you can never find
Neptune without telescope.
Can Be Seen All Summer.
The show Saturn puts on will con-
tinue in the evenings all summer. 1t
does not take large telescope to see
the rings. They are inclined to the
earth at a high angle this year and
can be seen to much better advantage
than usual.
Other features on the May star gaz-
ing program are the Big Dipper and
the huge water snake, Hydra, that
fills most of the southern sky below
the celestial equator with his two
riders. Corvus and Crater The con-
stellation of Bootes, in which glows
the ruddy stellar giant Arcturus, will
be seen in the east, the white diamond
Vega in the northeast and Capella III
the northwest.
ReguIus and The Sickle in Leo will
be to the southwest OF the zenith.
Virgo, another of the spring groups,
lies Just to the east of Leo.
Mira's Huge Bulk.
The size of some of the things to be
seen in the sky is almost beyond hui
man comprehension New measure
ments of the star Mira in the constel-
lation of Cetus have put her on the
front page. Astronomical calipers have
been taken TO this star and it is found
to have a diameter of 250,0OO,O0O
miles, outclassing the mighty Betel-
guese and standing second in glrth
only to the giant Antares, with its
diameter of 4OO,OOO,OOO miles. The
earth with its 5000 miles diameter
would rattle around inside OF Mira
like a pea in casket.
Mira is estimated to be distance
of los light years from the earth; that
is, the light OF Mira takes los years
to travel to the earth at the rate at
which it travels-186,000 miles IN
second We see Mira today as it was
los years ago when the light we now
see left this star.
