Millers to Move in. Au-.
tumn to New S
Street Home
By JEAN ELIOT

MIR. and Mrs. Adolph Caspar
IVx Miller are visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank B. Moves at their sum-
mer home at Winter Harbor. Me-,
but will return to Washington on
August 8.
During their absence, they have
placed their house at the disposal
Of William Phillips. American
ambassador to Belgium, who is in
town for consultation with Secre-
tary Of State Kellogg. Mrs. Phillips
did not accompany her husband to
this country, but is spending a few
weeks at one OF the Belgian spas.
The new home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller, which adjoins Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederic A. Delano's charm
ing residence in street, Is now
ready for occupancy but they will
not take possession until autumn.
They are at present occupying the
Fitzhugh house at 1858 Sheridan
Circle.
- With the completion of the Delano
n nd Miller residences in the
treet neighborhood in which Mrs.
woodrow Wilson makes her home,
the section has become one OF the
loveliest in Washington. The Sec
rotary of Commerce and Mrs.
Hoover are neighbors and Mr.. and
Mrs. George Hewitt Meyers also
have a charming house nearby.
The stand of splendid oak trees
over which the backs Of these
houses look out gives one the i'm
preston Of being in the heart OF
the woods. And it is possible of
an evening to sit upon the Delanos'
tagged terrace-or the verandas OF
the Hoover, Wilson or Miller
houses-with the stars pricking the
sky above and glimpse the luminous
dome Of the Capitol and the slim
shaft of the Washington Noun
ment pricked out in long finger
Of light from the Powhatan roof.
There's no other city in this coun-
try which boasts such a sylvan
spot in its heart.
Mrs. Delano is in the Berkshires,
but Mr.. Delano is spending the
summer in town, making occasional
weekend visits at Stockbridge with
Mrs. Delano by way of a holiday.
There viii be a renaissance Of
hospitality at the Hoover home,
where interesting people are always
assembling, early in August, for
and Mrs. Hoover are due
to return from California in time
for the meeting Of the Belgian debt
Mr.. Hoover is to be
one Of the representatives Of the
United States in the discussions.

CLAIMS zON|NG
LAW IS UNFAIR
To DISTRICT
Commissioner Says Govern
ment Should Have Power to
Establish Fairgrounds

The District Government should
have legal assurance that 1t has
the right to establish Fairgrounds
in various sections of Washington,
in the opinion of Engineer Com
missioner J. Franklin Bell.
In view of the decision of JUS
tice Jennings Bailey, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, that the Com
missioners had no right to condemn
land for an athletic field for West
ern High School, because the area
is zoned residential, the Engineer
Commissioner believes the coming
law should be remedied If its pro-
visions are inadequate to permit the
city heads to set apart land Tor
recreation purposes.
Owners Protested
The decision of the court was
handed down after Shannon and
Luchs, owners of the property,
known as Burleith, protested against
condemnation Of the area bounded
by Thirty-eight and Thirty-ninth
streets, s and Reservoir road north
west, as an athletic field for the
high school.
IF there is something wrong
with the coming law, it should be
SOAAAAAASSAOAAOA A~SAA ~
clared. If such a condition were
allowed to remain, 1t would mean
that the Commissioners would be
unable to lay out Fairgrounds
where they want them. The Dis
trict is spending money all over
the city and should be assured that
what 1t does will stand any legal
test.
Fairgrounds Essential
1T is essential to have recreation
grounds, and it is up to us to pro-
vide Western High School with an
athletic field. 1t may be that the
deficiency in the law--if that is the
case-can be remedied by the zon-
ing commission. If so, I believe it
enould be remedied."
Corporation Counsel Francis H.
Stephens expressed the belief that
a reversal Of the decision could be
obtained in the higher court. 8.
Duncan Bradley, president Of the
Western Home and School Associa
ton, conferred with the Engineer
Commissioner and the corporation
counsel concerning the decision. He
pledged the support Of his organiza-
ton in any attempt to have the de-
cision changed

Declares Drainage and Poor
Sports Kill Off Game

Drainage and a few poor sports
are responsible for much of the de-
cline in Wisconsin bird and big
game life, in the opinion of Frank
Hornberg, conservation warden in
Portage County.
Huge drainage projects, depriv-
ing the marshes of water and
acquatic growth, are having their
deadly effect on ducks, geese and
other water fowl. The upland birds,
on the other hand, are suffering
from opposing conditions, for the
abandonment of farms, with their
grain fields, is sending them into
other areas.
Deer should be so plentiful in
Wisconsin, according to Mr.. Horn
berg, that any reasonable hunting
could be permitted. However, ille-
gal killing by sports" who failed
to observe the one-buck law has so
depleted the deer population that
the only remaining hope lies in the
present closed season and in the
future alternate open seasons in
even numbered years.

Believe Us, They've Learned

If results are any symptom OF
success, Eagle River is developing
wonderful stock of cooks. Last
Tuesday afternoon Miss Cora Oh
sons class in domestic science en-
tertained Mr.. and Mrs. Kracht, Mr..
and Mrs. Sanborn, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred j. Strong and DR.. and Mrs.
Thorpe at a five course dinner. The
entire banquet was the work of the
class, even to the table decorations.
The service, with Deborah Everett
as head waitress, was almost too
perfect to be true, and the food
was enough to make one hint for a
return engagement. After the dis
play of last Tuesday, there can be
little doubt left in the minds of
the sceptics as to the wisdom of a
domestic science in the local school.

Bears Give North Woods Flavor

Three tanned bear cubs have been
installed this year at Warmers For
est Home on Plum Lake, as an
added attraction to guests at that
attractive resort. Starting a men
agerie is a new wrinkle in the re-
sort business; but when it is con-
fined to northern fauna, it assured
ly gives an outdoor flavor that is
tasty to degree.
The Warmers have also improved
their resort in manifold ways.
They have installed ladies and
gentlemen's hot and cold baths and
showers, among other things.
In 1926, this resort plans a gen
eral overhauling, as we'll as the

Study Chemistry to Become
Real Good Fisherman

To be a successful fisherman,
study chemistry.
Prof. George Kemmerer, of the
University of Wisconsin, testifying
before the Wisconsin railway COM
mission on the pollution of the
states lakes and streams, depressed
to discuss fishing, states the Mil
waukee Journal.
Il am an enthusiastic fisherman"
he said in reply to questions by
Commissioner Adolph Kanneberg,
Milwaukee. Il simply determine
the dissolved oxygen in lake trout
waters, at various depths. AS the
season advances oxygen decreases
in the lakes and the trout move
with the decreased oxygen. While
the old type fisherman keeps fish
ing in the middle of the lake, /
move up always fishing on the
bottom, but on the bottom in more
shallow water. For instance, on
July l we get lake trout on the bot
tom of a,lake in so feet Of water;
by the first of August we will be
citing trout in so feet; by Aug.
Is in form As to so feet"
Thus, while fishermen blindly
following the precepts of Izaak
Walton and the signs of the wind,
weather and weed beds, angle hope
lessly out in the middle of the lake
Prof. Kemmerer sinks his test tube
to the bottom, reads the record,
chuckles, moves rs feet farther in
shore and-wham!-gets his trout

RESORT MEN EXPRESS
FAITH IN THE FUTURE
Noted Great Increase in Tour
list Trade Last Summer and
Expect Trend to Continue
Many New Additions and Develop
ments Made and More Are
Planned

The year 1925 seems to have been
the apex year in the resort trade.
In spite of the great number of lit
tie resorts springing up on every
lake and stream all over the coun-
ty, the concensus of opinion among
the larger owners is that the trade
this year is all the way from Is to
30 percent larger than last year and
the year before. There are num-
Der of resort operators who have
had practically the same guests ever
since they were established. The
old established resorts do not notice
a great deal of difference; they are
always crowded. 1t is the new
large resorts that have not as yet
established their steady patronage
that notice the rise and fall of the
tourist trade.
Mr. 0. w. Sayner who built the
first house in what is now the town
of Sayner and who has operated
resort on Plum Lake for the past
twenty-five years is of the opinion
that the year just past was one of
the best in the resort trade that we
have had in the last few years. A
resort like Mr.. Sayner's has the
same guests year after year; some
of his people have been coming to
his place for thirty years without a
break. Every year there is some
new improvement made on the
place. Any little modern idea that
his guests suggest is Immediately
Incorporated into his yearly scheme
of improvement. While booster
for all that Northern Wisconsin
has to offer, Mr.. Sayner does not be-
lieve much in the future of winter
sports until the people who are our
guests during the summer become
better educated along winter sport
ideas. The people who have been
coming to his place year after year
are not the class of people who
take favorably to the winter sport
idea.
One great reason for the success
of Villas County's resorts is their
modern equipment. There is a
growing tendency to bigger inn
provements every year. Scarcely a
resort owner in the region but has
