Explain Names
Status in Hunting
License TabulatiOn

Since publication of figures compiled
at washington, with reference to
hunting licenses issued by the sew
eral states, inquiry has been made at
the fish and game department az TO
why Maine was near the foot Of the
resident list.
The department of inland fisheries
and game in explanation Of the stu
alton, makes the following statement:
"The brief item published with
reference to hunting and fishing IL
censes credited to Maine are not an
nual licenses, while the licenses In
other states are renewed each year.
under the present law 25 cent
resident hunters and f1sherman's re-
gistration certificate remains in force
so long as the licensee remains
resident of the state. OF course If
the holder loses his license, he must
purchase a new one.
"F'rom the above it will be seen
that the annual sale of resident
hunting licenses in Maine is not a
total renewal each year, but, since
the first year, simply licenses sold to
parties who had not previously pro-
cured them, or duplicates issued to
parties who had lost theirs. The re-
cords of the office show that from the
time the law took effect in 1918 to
December 81, 1925 there were 26l,0S7
resident licenses Sold"

Cities Lack Interest
In Dry Law Change

Milwaukee. March 27.-(AP)-
Seventeen replies. only two of which
were favorable, have been received to
an appeal sent February 20 to 700
cities throughout the country asking
that they join the city council of
Milwaukee in urging Congress to
modify the prohibition law.
A tabulatipn today showed that the
appeal. which contained a resolution
recently presented to the Senate by
Senator Robert NJ. Lafollette of
Wisconsin and which urged that the
sale of beer and wines be legalized,
met with little response. Even in
Wisconsin some cities indicated that
there was little interest in the pro-
posal, and Racine advised that the
appeal had found its way into the
waste backet rather than into the
records.

Ibis day in court" this morning.

charge of driving drunk. was SEN

clared that he had taken only two
glasses of beer and blamed the rutty
condition of the street for the acct

also said the police refused to let
him use the telephone to notify
friends of his plight. Judge Crockett
took the case under advisement.

The Vaudeville

"Blackface" Eddie Ross is min
strel. During his career he has been
factor with practically every i'm
portant minstrel organization of that
period. Fun is fun. it doesn't make
any difference whether q minstrel in
vaudeville or in musical comedy if
he is really a comedian his humor
registers and so when Mr.. Ross de-
serted the semi circle or rather the
end-men for vaudeville, he found
himself an instantaneous hit. such a
hit that it will probably be many
years before he has to look for new
worlds to conquer. He is a uonolo-
gist, that is he tells stories and
sings songs but also uses his African
harp, what else would an African
harp be but banjo and he strums
and Strums as banjos are to be
strummed or trummed.
He uses the old tin standard banjo
| with five strings and he picks out
his music, each string having n pur-
pose of its own. He is without the
use of plectru, commonly known as
pick, or any other mechanical de-
vice.
A girl is always surprise. Two
girls may therefore be a Melange of
surprises. Frances and Ruth are
two girls but their melange of sur
prises Is not contingent upon the
fact that they are fair and feminine.
1t is solely because of their musical
ability and the manner in which they
present their abilities. The Misses
Frances and Ruth sing and play the
piano and violin. They have ar
ranged these things so as to offer
them in a novel manner.
To give variety to the program of
this week there will be a cycling act
with a clever bit of dancing injected
for further diversity. Hoffman and
Hughes is the duo with this line of
entertainment.
Brock and Brown will present a
fast moving and bright little comedy

the fifth act on the weeks bill the
