A Wise Order

President Hoover acted IN accord
ance with requests from 43 game con-
servation organizations when. by proc
lamation, he amended the Migratory
Bird Treaty, reducing from three
months to one month the open sea-
son for hunting ducks, geese, brant
and coots in the United States and
Alaska. There can be no criticism
of this action. Federal intervention
will protect the game more efficiently
than the states can. It is more or
less futile for one state to shorten the
season when neighboring common
wealths place no special limits upon
the hunting season. Now a few
states cannot "hog" the game at the
expense of real sportsmen who know
that If conservation is not practiced
for a few years, there will be little or
no hunting anywhere.
Prolonged drought has resulted in
a serious shortage in game and the
concentration of birds in the favored
sections of the nation. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture took immediate
steps for game protection and the
proclamation just issued from the
White House was the result.
The Biological Survey explains that
extreme drought has occurred on the
principal wild-foul breeding grounds
in northwestern United States and
southwestern Canada. Sloughs and
marshes in much of this great re-
gion are few and in many section.
have disappeared entirely. It is es-
sential then that birds be spared fo1
breeding.

The Courage to Spend
tNew York World Telegram

The farmers bins are running over
with wheat which no one will eat;
the savings banks are running over
with money that no one will spend.
In spite of unemployment and of
reduced incomes, the deposits in the
mutual savings banks of the State
have increased 20 per cent, or $751;
100000, in year.
The savings banks are SO swamped
with money that Walter H. Bennett,
president of the Emigrant Industrial
Savings Bank, has advised the banks
250, 900 depositors to use some of this
money to buy the things they need
furniture, clothes, land-while all are
cheap and can be bought with dollars
that are worth Is per cent more than
three years ago.
He called his advice "a counsel of
courage when the business world is
too much dominated by fear and un-
certainty"
He added:-"In our opinion the
millions Of savings and thrift de-
positors in this country have it III
their power to change the whole aspect
Of industrial and trade conditions :. :.
and restore employment to thousands
now out of work"
Savings deposits, which had been
relatively stationary for decade,
have since the depression grown
prodigiously all over the country in
spite of the fact that the national in
come dropped from $4,000, ,000,0 in
1929 to $66,000,0O0,Oo0 in 1880.
The savings deposits of the coun-
try total $4,000, 100000. This yields
a billion dollars a year in interest.
In New York State the total of mu-
tual savings is s5,000,000,000. At the
end of last April there were 5,472,O00
accounts in the States mutual saw
ings banks, the number having grown
in that one month by 10000.
This great increase in savings no
doubt is in one way very good sign.
It shows that the American people
are emerging from the speculative
looSenass that characterized the last
decade The security and spirit Of
moderation which tine savings rep
resent may well constitute valuable
new stabilizing influence in American
character.
But it is obvious that large per
cent of the people are going too far
in the direction OF thrift and re-
ltrenchment. They could spend more
and would spend more If they were
not pinched by fear.
The machine era involves rapid
i turnover of wealth which calls for
rather free spending. Good times
will not really return until hoarded re-
sources have started flowing again In
the channels Of trade.
| Until individuals have started
spending normally conditions gen.
ditions generally cannot become nor
|mal.

Young Mr.. Travers tucked the

She had expected an answer as
ridiculous as the youths earlier

The ambition of a Ludington

with four others. 1t was Floyd

It was learned today that in

studying aerial navigation under
direction of Comdr. P. V. H.
Weems, of the Navy, who taught
Gatty. Only a few close friends
knew of Cox's ambition. George
Pomeroy, another Ludington
pilot, intended to go with him.
Recently Cox, Pomeroy. Com.
mander Weems and Gatty had a

Weems home. and Cox's prospec-
tive flight was discussed. Today
Pomeroy, with a sort of husky
throat, said:

Mrs. Judd's Tuberculosis Now
Active; May Not Live to
Stand Murder Trial

PHOENIX. Ariz., Nov. 6 GN.SO
Arizona authorities are no nearer
solving the mysterious love muir
ders of Agnes Ann Leroi and He'd
wig Samuelson today than they
were when Mrs. Winnie Ruth
Judd surrendered to her husband
and attorneys in Los Angeles 10
days ago.
This was frankly admitted to-
day by Sheriff j. r. McFadden
and County Attorney Lloyd j.
Andrews, who have tried for a
week to definitely establish clue
to the identity of the persons or
person thought to have helped
her pack the bodies of her vic
tins in trunks and ship them to
Los Angeles.
First Story Sticks
Mrs. Judd's first story-that
she killed the two women for
whom she had an admitted warm
affection-in self defense, has re-
mained unShaken in the face of
grillings in her solitary cell in
the Maricopa county jail, and un-
der the pressure and influence
of her own attorneys.
While the authorities are at
tempting to establish a definite
end" motive for the crime. on
every hand here today there is
expressed in official as we'll as
medical circles a grave concern
over Mrs. Judd's physical condi-
ton.
1t is doubted in many medical
quarters that she will live to
face the demand of County Attor-
ney Andrews that she pay for her
crime with her life.
Condition Is Grave
Mrs. Judd's inactive tubercular
condition has become extremely
active during the last 10 days.
She has lost more than IS
pounds in weight since she sur
rendered to the California authori-
ties October %, in a Los Angeles
mortuary.
Twelve persons will be called as
witnesses at the preliminary hear
ing Monday.
Secrecy surrounded the names

sci from inspecting the apartment
