.FUR-BEARERS NEED
 PROTECTION SAYS
 SURVEY OFFICIAL
MISTAKE TO CLASS ALL AS VER- MIN, DECLARES WASHINGTON
 GOVERNMENT EXPERT

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. (P)-A vigorous protest against chasing all fur bearing animals everywhere, und- CT all conditions as "vermin" was voiced at the recent convention of state game commissioners by Frank G. Ashbrook, in charge of Fur h. vestigations for the U. s. Bureau of Biological Survey.
 The value of the fur crop of this country, said MT. Ashbrool, has in- creased in 2 years from million to 60 million dollars, yet the supply has been greatly depleted. Had the SUD- ply been maintained the present val ue of the fur taken would be measur- ably greater than it is.
 The status of fur bearing animals in the opinion of Mr. Ashbrook, with relation to other forms of wild ami mal life, should be investigated fully in each locality so that there might not be unnecessary destruction of any valuable form.
 Laws protecting fur bearers are of comparatively recent origin in most states, and many states even now give ineffective protection or none at all. The great curse of the fur business is the vast quantity of worthless pelts, taken out of the pro- per season either illegally or with the sanction of law.
 MT. Ashbrook points out that muskrat, now the most important species of fur bearer in point of total value, is prime in late winter and early spring and should not be taken in the fall when the. pelt is worth less, while the skunk, mink and some others reach a condition of prime ness earlier and become valueless late in winter. Laws giving protec- tion at the season of the year when the fur is of little value and during the breading season are strongly ad- vocated.
 A committee of naturalists, ap- pointed by the National Game Con- ference of the American Game Pro- tectiye Association, is studying the question of the proper classification of animals as vermin or otherwise

ADDRESS 0F ANzAC VET.
 SOUGHT BY LEGION POST

Indianapolis, Feb. 10. (P)-The Am erican Legion has been requested to aid in finding the whereabouts of Will son Fitzroy Littler, former Anzac soldier. His heart broken mother has not heard from him since September 5, 1922, when his address was Box 131, Willits, Calif. The request came through Thomas c. Moxley, 517 Stan ley street, South Brisbane, Queens land, Australia, Grand Scribe of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Queensland, and B. R. Turnbull, Carlinville, H., chairman of the committee on foreign relations of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma sons of the United States.
 Littler was wounded in the World war and was a prisoner in Turkey two and one-half years, which affect ed his mind to the extent that he suf- fered relapses. Tn 1920 his address was 1421 Sutter street, San Francisco, and few months before that he was in Orcult, Calif, but he may have travelled through several States since that time

FURNISHINGS FOR
CHILDREN'S ROOM
Curtains Should Be Sturdy,
Simple and Decorative.

prepared by the United States Department.
of Agricultural
When the children are little their
bedroom is often their playroom,
too. AS soon as they are old enough
to observe them, children take great
delight in the furnishings of the nurs-
cry. Curtains for the children's
room should be sturdy, simple, decid-
edly decorative. The colors In them
should be pure In value, rather than
dainty pastel shades. These make
little appeal to a small child. Be
cause of the need for sunlight and
air, glass curtains are omitted unless
the situation of the window makes
this impossible. For naptime the
light may be modified by a dark shade
or screen of some sort.

STORY FROM THE A

John Selwood, gentleman gam
bier and manager of a stage
line at Sleepy Cat comes upon a
settler whose wagon has mired
In a creek. He helps get the out
fit clear, after picking up a girls
shoe and being attracted by h
supposed wne thereof In Fly
ler's (the settler's) wagon. Moses
McCracken, a youth, is robbed of
$500 in a Sleepy Cat gambling
den. Selwood forces the swim
dlers, Bartoe and Atkins, to re-
turn the money. Tyler opens a
dry goods store, with Big
Haynes" running a mock auction.
Selwood learns the girl whose
shoe he picked up Is Christie,
FLYERS daughter. Selwood makes
Christie's acquaintance and
warns Fyler that Atkins is a
crook. Starbuck, head OF the
crooked gamblers, attracted,
tries to ingratiate himself with
Christie. The girls mind is pol
soned against Selwood. Fyler is
beaten and robbed. Christie,
seeking Doctor Carpy, meets Sell
wood and informs him that At
kins has thrown her father out
of his store, claiming to w it.
Fyler is not badly hurt. Christie
tells Selwood of threats made
by Starbuck, also that he had
asked her to marry him. with
his two companions, Selwood
drives Atkins and HAYNES from
FLYERS store.

Clean furnished Silver
BY EecfroIvfic Method

Tarnish on silver can be removed by
the electrolytic method. Various COM
mercial devices for this can be
bought for use at home, or it can be
done In the following way: Fill an
enameled or agateware kettle partly
full of water in which has been dis
solved n t~easpoonful Of either wash
ing soda or baking soda and M tea
spoonful Of salt to each quart OF wa
ter, heat this solution to the boiling
point, put In strips of aluminium or
bright zinc, add the furnished silver,
and boil 1t. The silver must be COW
cred completely by the water and each
piece must be In contact with the
aluminium or zinc, either directly or
through other silver. When the tarn-
ish has disappeared, the silver should
be removed from the kettle, washed,
and dried with a clean, soft cloth.

Dried Beans Useful as
Substitutes for Meat

Many people believe that beans,
such as the navy. lima and other
kinds Of dried beans, are substitutes
for meat from the standpoint of their
nutritive value. Recent research by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture on the kind Of protein con-
tanned In different foods has shown
that the protein of meat is superior to
that Of beans from the standpoint of
meeting the needs Of the body. The
protein In meat Is called complete"
or efficient while that in beans Is
called incomplete" because it lacks
certain essential acids. The average
meal that Americans eat, however,
usually contains bread and other foods
that contain some kind Of protein.
Generally a combination Of these with
the protein In beans will supply the
body what 1t needs. So far ar nutri-
tive value goes 1t Is therefore all right
to use beans occasionally In place Of
meat for dinner.

and are a good source Of vitamine A.
The bureau Of home economics gives
these directions for preparing golden
rod eggs:
Cooking GoIdenrod Eggs.
Hard cook as many eggs as you

Members of Household
Eniov a Lenfen Supper

Call it supper or lunch, as you
please. and serve 1t either at the end
of the day or In the middle Of 1t, ac-
cording to the special needs Of your
household. The boys, including father,
will like this menu because 1t contains
fried potatoes; the children will like
1t because there are chocolate cakes
for dessert, and you will like it be-
cause 1t Is easy to prepare and 1t
satisfies your unspoken determination
to supply as many vitamines as pos
sible In all the family meals.
Here's the menu, followed by direc-
lions for cooking most of the foods
suggested. The recipes are given by
the bureau of home economics. The
supper includes cabbage, spaghetti
and cheese, fried potatoes, canned
peaches, and brownies.
For the cabbage, spaghetti and
cheese, you will need four cupfuls of
shredded cabbage, two cupfuls of
cooked spaghetti, two cupfuls of milk,
four tablespoonfuls of flour, four table
spoonfuls Of butter, one-half pound
American cheese, one teaspoonful Of
salt. Cook the spaghetti in boiling
sailed water until tender. Make a
sauce of the flour, butter, milk, and
salt. Shave up the cheese and add it
to the hot sauce. Put the three In

rather a low temperature, and for chill
dren are preferable fried in this way
rather than in any Of the ways that
make>them greasy or hard. Slow cook
ing In only a little fat makes a golden
brown crust over the outside, while
the inside remains soft, and yet does
not absorb the fat. There are three
other fine points in frying potatoes:
Use a heavy skillet; let the pieces
brown on one side before turning
them; and cook only enough at one
time to cover the bottom Of the skillet,
in a fairly thin layer.
The brownies, which are good keep
ers-if you can keep any sort Of cakes
or cookies In your house-are. as the
name suggests, made with chocolate.
The ingredients are: one-half cupful
of butter, two unces or squares Of un-
sweetened chocolate, two eggs, one
cupful finely chopped nuts, one cupful
flour, one cupful sugar, n teaspoon
full baking powder, one-half teaspoon
full salt. one-half teaspoonful vanilla.
Melt the butter and chocolate to-
gether. Beat the eggs lightly, add the
sugar, and stir until 1t d~issolves. Add
the chopped nuts, which have been
mixed with the flour. Pour into a
warmed, creased pan, lined with
creased paper. Spread the mixture
evenly and bake In a moderate oven
1925 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40
or 40 minutes. Turn from the pan and
remove the paper from the cake while
1t is hot. If this Is not done, the
paper will stick. Cut the cake into
strips a little more than an inch wide
and about three inches long. These
brownies will keep fresh for some
time in a tin box.

he walked down the street in the sun

but passed FLYERS to see what the
place looked like, after the change
of owners.
Scott had patched up the scars.
The front doors showed fewer traces
of the rude assault than Selwood had
expected. But there was a deathly
quiet about the place. The town knew
that there had been a fight at the
store during the night, but for vari-
Gus reasons the principals concerned
had kept their own counsel. When
Selwood approached FLYERS, two men
stood on the corner talking-Big
Haynes and Harry Barbanet. Sell
wood understood perfectly well that
Harry, chief gossip Of the River
quarter, was uptown to bore into
Haynes for all the information he
could get as to who the pseudo-Vigi-
lantes had been-that his sore and
aching friends might be posted ac-
cordingly. Big Haynes, however, had
been uncommunicative and, when
Selwood hove In sight, left Barbanet
unceremoniously and drew Selwood
aside.

steps into the store-"is up here try

Barbanet came down the steps with
