Quick GrouUth of Wool

Making three feeces grow where
only one fourished before, is being
done by sheep of Japan. A jap
anese scientist has invented meth
cd of injecting a certain fluid into
the veins of the animal every two
days which causes wool to grow as
much in two months as it ordinar-
lily would in twelve, he claims.
Three feeces instead of one are pro-
duced every year, he says.

MOTORISTS WAIVE HEARINGS
Delaware Auto Association Questions
Right Magistrates to Levy

Justices of the peace in Delaware
are violating the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States in collecting costs" from
motorists summarily convicted before
them. That is the conclusion of the
Delaware Automobile Association af-
ter close study of a recent decision
written by Chief Justice Taft, of the
United States Supreme Court, in the
case of the Ohio mayor, who was held
to have violated the constitution by
reason of the imposition of such
"costs."
Justice Taft took the position that
sit certainly violates the Fourteenth
amendment and deprives a defendant
in a criminal case of due process of
law to subject his liberty or property
to the judgment of court, the judge
of which has a direct, personal, sub
stantial pecuniary interest in reach
ing conclusion against him in his
case"
Under Delaware practice, Vice
President Weeks of the National Mo
torists Association, points out the
justice of the peace has a "pecuniary
interest" in every summary automo-
bile case brought before him. If he
decides in favor of the defendant, he
rules against his own pocketbook. The
temptation is strong to impose at
least "costs" in doubtful cases, al
though the association has no inten-
tion Of impugning the honesty Of the
majority Of the minor Judiciary.
The decision particularly affects
the filming squires," and the way for
motorists to escape their clutches is
to waive hearing.

interested in the announcement made
this wek by the Z. S. Department of
Agriculture that there will be clos
ed season on the shooting of reedbirds
this year. In past years many Della
ware gunners enjoyed the sport of
killing reedbirds after the season was
opened on September l. Last year
the "reedies" were not SO plentiful
owing to many cold rains and an
early autumn.
The only other sport that is like
reedbird shooting is the shooting of
railbirds on the marshes bordering
the Delaware river. 1t is thought
that this sport will not be banned by
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington.
In 1919, owing to the serious de-
predations of bobolinks (reedbirds) on
the rice crops of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and. Florida,
permission was granted by the sec
retary of Agriculture, under the au
thority of the migratory bird treaty
act, to kill these birds in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, for the protec-
tion of rice growers. This permission
has now been revoked.
