BACK TO NATURE
TREND REFLECTED
BY HUNTING LAWS
Firearms Manufacturers
Have Already RecOgniz-
ed The Trend

A bill to legalize hunting with
bow and arrow i'm New Hampshire
and another to prohibit the use al
automatic and pump guns of more
than three shots i'm Alabama, are re-
Elections of Il new trend of the times
among sportsmen, according to Seth
Gordon. president of the American
Game Association.
"A grow percentage of hunters
want to make their sport more diff
ficult, not less so" he declared.
They want to give their quarry Il
sporting chance. and at the same
time extend their own skill to the
utmost.
The perfection OF ultra-mOdern
cOntrivances for reaching hunting
areas and taking game, combined
with the dwindling of wild life m-
der the handicaps of civilization,
are resulting i'm a back to nature
movement in the hunting world"
In order to escape the mechanical
age during their vacations. more
and more men are deliberately seek
ing primitive methods of travelling
and hunting while in the woods, Mr..
Gordon said.
He pointed to the clamor for leg
allied long-bow hunting by the ar
cherry enthusiasts in several states
as an extreme evidence of this re-
action in the out-Of-doOrs.
Firearms manufacturers have al
ready recognized the trend" he
said. "One company has recently
produced a three-shell shotgun to
replace those of five and more
shots, another has brought out an
improved double-Barrel gun, and
others have similar shotguns in the
making.
"They are fully alive TO The sitn-
alton and are anxious to do their
share toward maintaining the game
supply"

THE OLD STEAMBOAT HARRY
DAVIS, MILFORD

By P. T. Kane
Dear old ship, there you lay
Just a hulk all in decay,
You that once were the seaman's
pride.
You that sailed DER the silvery tide
Gone, gone is all your glory
Time and decay tell your story,
You're a wreck, all your beauty fed,
AS one alone who's all but dead.
Your life and mine are much the
same,
We both have tasted of tickle fame
But now old age demands her toll
Old ship farewell, the tOmb's my
goal.

By Tom Kane
When life has fed and l am dead,
Bear me to lonely place
Where none will tread upon my bed

There each morn they greet the

Singing praises to their Maker
They're as happy at eve as they
were at morn
Sweet songsters ever joyous to their
Keeper.

Three-Ton Baby Will Be on
Exhibit With Mama
Next Week.

Whales are the greatest divers
in the world, and science never has
been able to be sure how they ac-
complish their plunges into the
lower depths Of the sea. The whale
breathes just like any other land
animal, yet can descend more than
mile below the surface of the
ocean and remain there for an
hour.
The spouting as the whale exhales
on reaching the surface is the signal
for the whaler's cry, THAR she
blows"
The whale is VIGOROUSLY short
sighted, and few of them have any
thing but a tiny tube of an ear,
hearing mainly through vibration of
the bones in their head, it is be-
lieved.
Captain Johnathan Prince, who
will be in Indianapolis with the Pa
cific company's whale exhibit next
week, has among his many trophies
the extracted ear and eye Of whale
and will explain these mysteries as
he has found them during his forty
years of hunting and studying the
habits Of whales.
Captain Prince was in command
during the capture of COLOSSUS, -
the great mother whale, and her
three-ton baby. The youngster will
be christened during its visit here,
and name suggestions are coming
in every mail from Indianapolis and
vicinity.
Hundreds of boys and girls want
to name the three-ton baby whale

After the rebuff, Cermak called an
emergency conference of state, city
and county officials for today and
it was said the meeting would be
held and relief measures discussed,
although Governor Louis L. En-
merson sent word he could not at
tend.
Emmerson was known to agree
with Cernak that state legislation
is needed Immediately to straghten
out the tangled financial situation,
and avoid the necessity Of cutting
some $4,000 city and county en-
ployes of the pay rolls.
The city's failure today to pay
teachers salaries, accumulation of
interest on bonds, and failure to
meet other bills, was said to bring
the combined city and county
floating debts to S243,914oOo.
The total debts are said to be
approximately so per cent greater
than one year ago.

Ultra Short Waves Will Be
Used, Engineers Are
Convinced.
BY WILLIAM E. HALLBERG
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. June 5.-Television
will burst upon the public soon in
a form quite different from that
foreseen as recently as a year ago.
experts attending the radio en-
gineers' convention decided today.
Although not on the program,
television was one Of the most dis
cussed topics among the 800 en-
gineers. meeting to exchange lab
oratory secrets, and disclose the de-
velopments which will be built into
the radios Of next year and years
to come.
Television enthusiasts found ma
terial for intriguing speculation in
one of the reports before the insti-
tute. 1t was paper by three
prominent engineers, j. w. Conklin,
j. l.. Finch and G. w. Hanseu of
r. G. A. Communications, Inc, New
York City.
Make Short Waves Behave
They presented a simple method
Of making balky, short waves
behave. Used now only for expert
mental purposes, those are the
waves around ten meters which
technicians believe will be the
haven Of practical television.
In providing the means for keep
Ing ultra-short waves within bounds,
accurately, less extensively and
without sacrifice OF power, the three
engineers have bridged another gap
in the transmission of televislon
from laboratory to living room.
However, use Of ultra-short waves
will mean that television images
won't be sent vast distances for
public amusement, as sound is to-
day. Instead, the sight broadcasts
will be from stations that will be
local in range as well as in To-
cation
Have 25-MiIe Range
Ultra short waves have a range of
only about twenty-five miles. This
means that an ordinary television
station would transmit its signals no
farther than the naked eye could
see from its towers.
But television on such basis
would not be as cramped as sound
broadcasting stations are. One
ultra-short wave length may be used
without interference by stations as
close together as Baltimore and
Washington, or Chicago and Mil
waukee, an impossibility for sound
broadcasters.
In addition, where only one chan
mel now is available for television
broadcasting, ten or more may be
open to teleyision So there will
be no complaint of lack of variety.
Images Would Be Clearer
Cities which now have only one
or two sound broadcasters would be
able to boast of a dozen or more
teleVi3ion stations.
Coming over short distances, the
images received in the home would
be clearer, less subject to static, and
freer from fading.
Separate receivers will be neces-
sary to receive the sight broadcast
ers when they become practical for
the home, present radios being used
for the sound part Of eye-and-ear
programs.
