VILLAGE SIGNS GIVE
HISTORY OF ENGLAND
Old Agricultural Hamlets Vary in
Age from 1000 to
1900 Years.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated freSS.
BIRMINGHAM. England. May 21.-
Old English villages in agricultural
sections vary in age from 1000 to
]. 500 years, and bits of their history
are often written in quaint signs
which have survived for many centu-
ries.
Next to the churches, the inns and
smithies are usually the oldest build
ings in the villages which have not
been ingulfed by industries. Before
the days of railways and motors the
smithv was the center to which every
one had to go in peace and in war.
Inn signs are particularly useful in
tracing the history of villages. as they
often show the seals or insignia OIL
lords under whose protection the VII
lage thrived in past ages and fire.
quently indicate the past character OF
the neighborhoods.
But the purely fanciful signs are
even more interesting than those
which have historical background.
One sign which used to be very COM
mon on old English inns was the
Five Ais" The sign represents the
King, "who governs all'': the bishop,
who prays for all'; the lawyer, who
pleads for all"; the soldier, ''who
fights for ALL" and the laborer. who
works for all"
The Lord of Mischief" sign, which
is less common. shows man carrying
woman on his back.
Although 80 individuals, and some
times fewer, in direct line of descent
link the present villagers with their
ancestors before the Norman con-
quest, the villagers of today often
know little about the histories Of their
communities, and search Of village
records often yields little information
about the early struggles Of the tiny
communities which are made up of
low brown cottages screened by trees
and vines.

Life Hung on Punctuation Mark.

Life or death for Salvatore Merra,
convicted in England of murder,
hung on a punctuation mark recently.
His counsel contended, in an appeal
TO the Supreme Court against the
sentence of death. that the mark in
the verdict was a comma instead of
a semi-colon. A comma would have
meant a sentence of life imprison-
ment. The court, however, decided
that the transcript made by the court
reporter was neither. but a full stop,
which showed that the jury intended
that the death sentence be inflicted.

THE PREDATORY ANIMAL MENACE.

President Gardner Of the Alaska Game Com mission has depicted very serious situation ch fronting the game and certain fur-bearing aa.mal5 of Interior Alaska. The wolves and coyotes, os- pecially the latter oyerrunning certain sec tions wiping out calves of both caribou and moose destroying whole colonies of foxes and men who should know @predict mountain sheep will be wiped out entirely in some districts in 10 years" if their depredations allowed to go unchecked said MT Gardner.
 Several months ago the Territory initiated a survey of conditions in the very sectons Of which he spoke. It, in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Biological Survey and the Game Commission, put an expert predatory animal hunter in the field to ascertain the extent of the coyote invasion of the interior, to ind 1T possible, where they are coming from and by what routes they travel in entering. In addition this expert is charged with instrueting trappers in the most successful method of trapping both coyotes and wolves A start has been made in carving out these duties The coyotes, 1t has been learned come into Alaska through Yukon Territory Evidences of their presence in con siderable number were found in the drainages or the Tanana River. the only area so far lnvestl- gated and reported and they are mal ng serious. inroads on game animals and birds and some bearers. This much has, it is said been officially established.
  and this is war on both coyotes and wolves. It should be evident from President Gardner's de scription of conditions that the task is too great for the Territory to carry out alone. Nor sholld it he expected to do so Congress in it's wisdom has reserved to itself the control of Alaska s game and furbearing animals. It passes laws under which these resources are admin stered and supplemental regulations, with the force and effect of law are issued directly by the Federal Department Of Agriculture. It. therefore, does not seem unreasonable that the Federal Govern ment Should go another step forward and provide funds to protect these same resources from de- predatons which officials say threaten extneton to at least some of them.
 The Biological Survey which undoubtedly IS keenly interested, should go to Congress and ask for funds to employ expert hunters and trap pers in sufficient numbers to cope with the situation The last Alaska Legislature appro- priated funds to hire such man and he has been hired Surely others can be employed by the Federal Government to check the invasion the Territoria-paid man has discovered before it reaches any greater proportions.
