RAIL BIRD SEASON

In May 1927. the Biological Survey in
issuing the Federal regulations under
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, closed
the season on greater and lesser yellow
legs for a period of two years. In
April 1929, said Bureau issued regula-
tions closing the season on greater
and lesser yellow legs indefinitely,
therefore, it will be unlawful to hunt,
pursue or kill any shore birds of any
species this coming season, except rail
birds may be hunted September 1st to
November Both, inclusive.
We are often asked the question, if
it is lawful to hunt or kill the upland
plover. 1t is violation of the law to
hunt or pursue plover of any kind al
any time.
It is also unlawful to hunt bobolink
better known as freed birds" at any
time.
Therefore, there will not be any open
season on any shore birds of any
species except rail birds, September
LIST to November Both, inclusive, and
we earnestly request the sportsmen' s
cooperation with us in seeing that
these regulations are carried out to
the letter for the further protection of
migratory birds.

Landmark of Virginia
Is Old Church Tower

The traveller who wanders into
jamestown, in Virginia, will see there
the ruins of an old brick tower, sur
rounded by a wire fence, and having
the appearance of an ancient age. And
it is ancient, too, for it has stood on
this spot for almost 300 years. It
was not always so lonely, though, for
when it was erected it was part of a
church, one of the first churches
erected in America by English settlers
In the New world.
It was erected in 1886 by the early
Virginia settlers and was built on the
very spot where Capt. John Smith,
that famous explorer, had built a
wooden one some years previous. This
earlier church was the one in which
Pocahontas, the Indian maid and
daughter of Powhatan, was married
to John Rolf in 1914. The new church
was a large one for the times. 1t
was built entirely Of brick and Of
wood taken from the dense forests,
and the tower that stands there to-
day was placed at the entrance.
The times were troublous in the
Virginia Of 300 years ago, and when
the white men were not fighting the
Indians they would often fight among
themselves. And so about % years
after the church had been completed
Nathaniel Bacon and his soldiers re-
belled against the authority Of the
governor, marched on Jamestown and
burned the town and the church.
Nothing of the latter remains today
except the ruined tower,s an object Of
beauty in it's old age, and one visited
by thousands of people every year.

Resent Whites Curiosity

The tribesmen of Africa know that
the white persons they come in con-
tact with view their rituals and cere.
monies with curiosity and are not
duly impressed with the significance
and for this reason an impenetrable
veil of secrecy surrounds most of
these occasions, according to a re-
turned traveller who spent many
months in Nyasaland, hoping to learn
something of an authoritative nature
about these customs.

Magnetizing Process

There are several methods of
magnetizing iron or steel; by means
of the electric current, by rubbing
with a magnet, by hammering, etc
A steel bar may be placed across
the poles of an electromagnetic. or
from the north pole of one magnet
to the south pole of another mag
net, and hammered to magnetic 1t.
It is said that steel and iron bars
can become magnetized by long con-
tact with the earth, with or without
pounding, and steel rails are often
found to be appreciably magnetic.

Court Repartee

: Handwriting experts who serve as
professional witnesses occasionally
have doubts cast upon their reliability
by opposing counsel. Thus one shrewd
defense attorney recently began to
cross-examine such an expert with
the question: "Where is the dog?"
"What dog?" asked the witness In
amazement.
"The dog" counsel replied, "that
the judge at the last term of court
said he wouldn't hang on your evil
dence."

 Francesca Glasgow and Madge Arthur smiled complacently. They had given a good performance, and they knew it. Besides, the play was a WOW. And critics seldom pan the actors in a successful produc- ton.
 Only Molly was frightened. Per haps there were reviewers who, like her mother would think she had written something indecent.

THIS HAS HAPPENED

Molly Burnham. young reporter from Boston, has taken New York by storm. George w. Durbin, the celebrated theatrical producer, pre- sents her first play, ''The Death of Delphine Darrows." The audience goes wild. The most hardboiled critics are enthusiastic. Everybody is happy, except the people Molly loves best.
 Her mother is furious. She is an old-fashioned woman, and scandal ized at the topics with which Molly's
New Britain herald., 1929-08-05

play deals. And her father. bit old-fashioned too, is rather be- wildered. Even her sweetheart, JacK Wells, does not seem particularly enthusiastic. Her mother makes a disagreeable scene, and Molly is heart broken. But she must go on 10 the party which the Durbins are giving.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XIII
 It was a gay and festive little party. But perhaps it is as well that Mrs. Burnham did not go.
 Everybody was in evening clothes Francesca Glasgow, who played Delphine Darrows. wore black satin, with a petaled skirt. The petals were faced with pink chiffon, and they swirled and flutercd when she moved.
 Madge Arthur, the girl reporter of tho play. was dazzling in white, embroidered with sequins. She Wore a necklace of square cut crystals. But instead of wearing it against the front of her gown, she wore II down her back. And her back was cut to the waist.
 There was another girl in starched souffle chiffon of Mephisto red Her tight bodice was gathered into an astonishingly high neck, stiffened and boned 10 the tips of her ears. But under her arms there were scimitar slashes that bared half her chest.
 Molly thought of her mothers decent black, and her honorable hat And she decided that a the atrical patty. after all, was no rlac" for an old-fashioned lady rom Snodgr% ss.

Mrs. Durhin's hair was snow white, and she wore a close fitting cap Of shin ing jet.
 Molly told everybody that her mother was ill.
 But my father may come later" she said. with Mir. Wells"
 She hoped devotedly that he would not. What could he say to all these smart, sophisticated peo- pie, with their swift, dangling chat ter? How would he feel among these men in dinner coats. with their easy speech and polished ,han- ners? These women, with paintel mouths and eyes, and jewels gleam ing against their ivory breasts
