Appreciation Of cooperation which
has been received in All sections of

Hoidale. who said that the campaign
has been started anew i'm the Browns
Vile district, where there are a large
number Of individual yards that have
host fruit trees. These trees are u.s.
aally few in number, and M no COM

are left standing the inspectors must
watch them carefully 20 see hat no
fruit ripens on them.
"We hope that those who still
have such trees will remove them
from their premises. and help us to
keep the Valley clean" Mr.. HoidaIe
said. "The progress that has been
made, and the cooperation shown in
the past lead u TO believe that Val

WOULD REDUCE

Survey Indicates Wild
Ducks Decreasing

Unless steps are taken 20 reduce

Of game bird will soon be on the
road to determination, in the opin-
len of D. WI. Stiles. banding agent
for the u. 8. Bureau Of biological
Survey.
Banding work has shown u.s."
Mr. Stiles said. that the average
life Of the MaIlagd duck from the
time it is banded until il is killed
is seven and one-half months. Most
Of these were banded befopa they
learned TO fly. and would indicate
that the mallard has less than eight
months OF flying life. The birds
nest only once each year. 20 accord
ing TO these figures, it would not
be long until the malIards we're ex-
terminated.
"Some sportsmen advance the
claim that the number Of game
ducks is increasing. lei though
the present bar limit IL rs. There
might be some basis for their con-
tentions. but my work as a govern
ment banding agent tends 10 make
me believe otherwise. for the band
ed birds live only seven and one
half. months. There. Of course, are
hundreds az them which live beyond
this length az time. but that Is the
average life Of a malIard.
Accurate Figures
These figures are based on band
ing done from July 4, 1923 to De-
cember 81. 1926. Government band
ing work has been done only since

'OUETTE PROBLEM.
 FULFILLING DESIGNERS

PARIS, Ju,f -.-Coats and wraps of all .nds have been plac- cd in a dilem ma by the new era of elegance. Designers seem unable to decide W wlether to preserve the straight silhouette, which is dis. tinctly yo ,thful, or to indulge in godets, i.ares and flounces after the manner of the new dresses. Most style makers resort to com. promise by conserving the straight line in coats for sport and travel and making wraps for formal oc casion which conform to the sil houette of the afternoon or. eve. ming dress. r-, Tho best>lressed women in Paris try to establish definite relation ship between each frock and coat. The jacket costume is favorite means to this end just now and one which the average purse finds ,, practical. An afternoon dress with fancy blouse may have a jacke: of colored velvet. Another easy and pretty economy, popular foI l vacation wsrdrobes. is the sleeve. less georgette dress worn with a short georgette jacket to match Most of these jackets tic in from with fluffy bows of the material Without the jacket the georgettt frock makes a dinner dress.

GUARDIAN OF 2O,OOO,OOO PEOPLE
 QUITS LEAGUE TO ENTER BUSINESS

GENEVA, July 26.-Some people have something to say about the welfare of few thousand people. but an American. Huntington Gil christ of Auburn, New York. and Boston, has been looking after the happiness of twenty million.
 Gilchrist has just resigned his post as assistant director of the mandate section of the League Of Nations, which protects the inter- ests of the native inhabitants of the far-flung colonies which for merly belonged to Germany and of certain parts of the former Turkish Empire. After the war these territories were distributed 10 various powers under mandates.
 Gilchrist leave his Geneva post to enter business life. There is no opportunity for promotion for Americans at the League. because the United States is not a mem- Der and the places higher up fall to citizens of member states.
 At the recent session of the mandate commission, which par ticularly discussed the troubles in western Samoa, mandated to New Zealand, tributes were paid Gill christ for his faithful service in native problems affecting twenty million people. These problems include liberty of conscience, ed ucation, public health, the slave trade, trade in arms, the saving of natives from the ravages of aleo- hol. labor, property rights, develop ment of transport and the main- tenance of law and order. The general aim is to bring about po- litical evolution towards self-gov- ernment.
 In the Pacific Ocean Gllehrist's duties brought him in touch with conditions in the former German islands north of the Equator, which are mandated to Japan; New Guinea, which is looked after by Australia; Naura, cared for by Great Britain, and also that part of the Samoan group of islands which does not belong the United States.
 But his great responsibility was in Africa, where Germany lost her pxtnnSiVp colonial noesessions Togoland and the Cameroons went to Great Britain and France under mandate, each of these powers getting a big bit of each, Tan ganyika also went to England, while the Ruanda-urundl district went to Belgium and former Ger man Southwest Africa to the Un- ion of South Africa.
 In the middle east, Palestine, the Trans-Jordan and Irak fell to England, while Syria and Leba- non were parcelled out to France under mandate. The last session of the mandate comission showed gradual improvement in condi- lions everywhere and indicated the civilized white man is bringing betterment to millions of natives.
 Gilchrist was attached to the American general staff in Wash ington and France during the war, with the rank of captain.

 Here was a place where life's drudgeries could be turned over to a willing Chinese servant at small expense and women's tail 0rs were plentiful to carry out one's fashion whims at unbeliev- ably low prices.
