LOUISIANA TO KNOW ITSELF

The state Of Louisiana is cmbarking upon an in
tereStlng educational movement. Public schools and
other educational institutions of the state have been
asked to aid in teaching the public especially the grow
ing boys and girls about the resources possbii
ties and potentialites Of louisiana.
This is slightly different program from that of
most of the states that busy expounding their own
advantages 1t aims to educate its rising genera
tlon instead of concentrating attracting outsiders
The propaganda is educational instead of merely
"boCser' stuff
1t is we'll to know world geography, but one spot
needs to be thoroughly known than the rest and
that spot may well be the home state YOUNGSTERS
who grow up knowing thoroughly their own states re-
sources and possibilities of development will be better
citizens when their turn comes to direct its govern
ment.

WISE OLD HENS
Drivers and Pedestrians Must Co.,
 Operate

"They tell me that now even the hens know how to keep out of the way To ears; perhaps human beings will learn to be as wise-b both those who drive and those who walk, says q let ter which the motor vehicle depart ment has received from Rev. W Doug las Mackenzie. president of the Hart ford Seminary Foundation. The com ment was accustomed by the recent bull letin of the department regarding the rules and courteaies which should guide motorists in their use of the pub lie highways.
 There is no doubt that many men and some women utterly ignore all the principles of decent behavior as soon as they get into car" says the letter They ignore the rights of pedestrians and seem to imagine that the main purpose of driving on q road is to pass the car ahead. No doubt many lives are annually sacrificed to rashness and selishness of this kind. l believe also that pedestrians, while they have their rights, ought also to recognize certain primary rules of courtesy toward those who are driving automobiles" Dr. Mackenzie expressed the view, how ever, that the result of a continued campaign of education will be that "a kind of public morality will grow up around the use of automobiles"
 The motor vehicle department has received considerable cooperation from the clergy in it's educational campaign, especially since an appeal for the CO., operation of churches was made re gently. .'I am hoping that the broad principles which control the duty of man in his relation to other men in traffic will be stressed repeatedly and continuously in sermons and teach ings." Commissioner Stoeckel wrote to Dr. Mackenzie What is needed is to arouse a public sentiment of such de finite and strong characteristics as will compel more supervision and. in gen eral, tend to impress upon each indi- vidual the grave responsibility to oth- CTS which he carries when he moves about in the traffic of streets and high ways"

HOW TO USE A GUN
 WHILE HUNTING
Timely Warnings to Sportsmer Given By Superintendent of
 Fisheries and Game
Carry Your License-Don't Be q
 Game Hog


 Timely warnings to hunters have been included in the pamphlet contain l ing the state fish and game laws. which Superintendent of Fisheries and Game John W. Titcomb has had print ed for distribution. The outlook at the present time is for a very dry hunting season, Superintendent Titcomb says. and should drought conditions prevail it may be necessary to ask the gov ernor to prohibit hunting as pre- caution against forest fires.
 Under the heading. warning to hunters. the pamphlet says: ''The fish and game commission desires your assistance to prevent hunting casualties and brush fires by faithful ly observing the following rules:
 Look Through Gun Barrel
 Look through the barrels of your gun before going out to see that no cleaning rag has been left in them. Load your gun only after leaving camp and take out the shells when through shooting.
 "Alwavs lay your gun down when not in use, SO that no mud. sand or snow will get into the barrel Do not
 
 or other object Remove the shells be- fore laying a gun down in boat and remove the shells before transferring a gun from one boat to another.
 "put your gun through a fence and on the ground before you climb through Break gun whenever carry ing it where you have not solid foot ing. In brush. cover your trigger guard.
 Shoot only after getting a clear view of the game. Shooting at a movement of the bushes has cost the lives of many hunters. Make sure that your gun contains no loaded shells be- fore handling it when in camp or around camp fire.
 Carry Gun Safe"
 When shooting at a target or test ing gun, keep at least 300 yards from camp. Do not discharge a gun after dark. Do not point a gun at any per- son. Carry your gun safe Keep track of the person with whom you are hunting.
 Build a camp fire only on solid bot tom of soil or rock. Do not build a fire on muskeg bottom, and when leav- ing be sure the fire is out and that no fire is left smouldering below the sur face. Before throwing away burned match, cigarette or cigar stump. make sure that they contain no fire.
 Forest fires cause a loss of timber far greater than the entire cut each year. They not only destroy much, game but the covers for game. Always have your license with you. Do not be a game hog. be gentlemen. Be sure you have the consent of the landowner before hunting or fishing on ] his land.
