HUNTERS SHOULD BE HELD
LIABLE FOR ACCIDENTS

Most hunting accidents are not
accidents at all, and to dismiss them
as such is the worst blow that can
possibly be dealt the sport of hunt
ing" believes Seth Gordon, presi-
dent of the American Game Associ-
alton.
ANY man who takes a loaded
gun, usually upon someone else's
land, and handles it so carelessly
that he kills or Injuries another per-
son should certainly be held cIimi-
nally LIABLE" the association head
declared. "The first duty of a hun
ter is to observe the rules Of eau
tion in handling a gun, and to fail
in this is criminal negligence of the
most inexcusable sort. The hunter
who endangers lives is not sports
men, but a public nuisance, and can
throw the entire sport into disre-
pute."
Mr.. Gordon pointed out that Just
the other day one of four hunters of
Seattle, Wash, bent upon killing a
bear, fired at rustling in some
bushes and killed the owner of the
farm. The hunter claimed he
thought the farmer was a cub bear,
and was dismissed.
Several state game departments
now provide penalties of theic own
for carelessness, by refusing to sell
a license to hunters who have been
convicted of careless shooting, for |
a specified number OF years." Mr.. |
Gordon said. Requiring a hunter
to undergo an examination for men
tai and physical fitness before per-
mitting him the privilege of hunting
may be the next step. The idea has
been broached before state
notably in New York"
Mr.. Gordon declared that sports
men themselves would do well to
press charges against hunters whose
accidental" shootings are the re-
suit of carelessness.

DEFENSE AGAINST
EPIDEMICS

The epidemic of infantila paraly-
sis in New York City has evoke ad-
vice from authoritative sources
which the public can we'll afford to
apply the year round. That an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure is truism that needs
no arguing, but the methods of pre-
vention in an epidemic of disease
are all too frequently ignored by the
average man until the disaster has
actually occurred.
The elementary precautiOn
against the current epidemic, which
is likewise basic for other disease,
physicians and health official state,
is cleanliness. Surely this incurs no
hardship for the private individual
or the community, but it's impor-
tance to health can be gauged from
the emphatic frequency with which
it is urged. Where the exact cause
of the disease and the method of
spreading it are not definitely
known, as in this instance, such
careful habits may be considered
the first line Of defense.
III CuS ISu preventive lulSS IO
Gently issued by Doctor Shirley w.
Wynne, Health Commissioner of
New York City, four items stress the
need of cleanliness: (D Eat only |
clean and wholesome food. (2) D.s-
pose of flies, fieas, ants, mice and |
other vermin in the home. (3) Wash |
all eating utensils with hot water
and soap. Use plenty of clean fresh
linen. (D Always observe the rules
of cleanliness.
Precautionary measures so sim
pie, so inexpensive, and so thor
oughly within the realm of general
should not be neglected
by any one even when there is no
threat of epidemic to add to the
urgency.

Refused To Be StGmpeded

The United States Shipping Board
refused to be stampeded by inter-
ests that sought to take the United
States Lines away from Paul w.
Chapman, and in sticking by Chap
man they merely returned the com
pliment," because Chapman backed
his faith in the American merchant
marine with his entire fortune.
Something more than two years ago
he organized a corporation that
bought the Leviathan and several
other big American liners. Compe-
tition has been very keen and busi-
ness very bad among shipping COM
panies operating between the Unit
ed States and Europe, and the re-
suit was that the ample reserves
and capital of the Chapman inter-
ests became so depleted that Chap
man laid his case open before the
Shipping Board.
A new alignment headed by Mr..
Chapman; R. Stanley Dollar of San
Francisco, and Kenneth D. Dawson
of Portland, Oregon, has taken over
the United States Lines, and there
seems every reason to expect that
they will make the Stars and Stripes
on the Atlantic by
the aim of Chapman and
by duplicating the mastery perfor-
mances of Dollar on the Pacific.
The Shipping Board is steering a
steady course in its determination |
to make the American Merchant |
Marine an. unqualified success. Its
members have shown plenty of
courage and good judgment in
out the affairs of the
United States Lines.

RIGHT IN THE THICK OF THINGS

One of the few-the very few
advantages of living in city here
tofore has been the cultural and ed
ucational facilities a metropolis Of
fers. The city resident had access
to the theatre, to the concert hall,
to the art gallery-facilities which
by every reason of a lack of pOpu-
lation could be duplicated only on a
small scale in the rural community.
Offsetting these advantages were
the oyercrowding, the rushing pace
of city life.
The overcrowding, the nerve
racking pace remain. But what else
has an urban existence to offer to-
Gay to a man seeking the best
things in life?
Consider for example the single
subject of music. The city resident
dons evening clothes, fights the
snarl of traffic, and sits stiffly un-
comfortable for several hours to
hear a symphony concert. Now,
thanks to radio and the desire of
broadcasters to bring the best to the
listeners of the country, the country
resident sits before his radio set in
whatever stage of informal dress
best suits him. lights up his smoke.
and hears without a penny OF cost
the same great music as the city
concert-goer.
Leopold Stokowski, the great con-
ductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra
has planned in his series of seven /
brOadcaStS this season to make the
lot of the listener even happier. The |
microphone will broadcast direct ;
from the stage of the Academy Of !
Music in Philadelphia, with a regu-
lar concert audience present The
radio listener will hear a regular
concert from beginning to end. Just
as though he were present in per-
son, instead of an abbreviated radio
version. Further, the series will
constitute a history of music, pre-
senting in chronological order the
masterpieces of the ages.
So your rural listener, sitting in
his living room thousands of miles
away from Philadelphia, hears eX-
actly the same concert the elite of
Philadelphia will attend. He will be
the basis of musical ed
ucation without moving from his
chair. City life, including a daily
tussle with the subway, could bring
him no more in the way of musical
Who wouldn't sell his penthouse

GULL THE cows AS WELL AS
THE HENS
Bv. Prof. w. b. Krueck

by IIOl. w. ID, hIuGth
Most good poultrymen realize that
culling of hens is a necessary pIac-
tice for maximum poultry efficiency.
1 Dairymen, likewise, are finding it
necessary under present conditions
/ to Gull their cows more closely than
ever before.
In culling COWS, it may appear to
a dairyman today that he is taking
a greater percentage loss on the
culls, and, therefore, he hesitates to
eliminate them. However, he must
realize that other lines of industry
have been faced with the same situ-
alton. Many a merchant has placed
stock of goods upon his floor that
has deprecated considerably in val
ue from what it was four or five
years ago. The wise merchant thor
oughly culls his stock annually,
sells at whatever price it will bring
that which is not good stock to car
ry, and then proceeds to make the
balance of his merchandise move eff
fficiently.
Is this not exactly the same prob
lem with which the dairyman is con-
frOnted? The dairy situation as far
as surplus is concerned will be
remedied most rapidly when dairy
men realize the Importance of elm
mating their boarder cows. They
will increase their net income by
keeping only those that are pro-
ducing efficiently and managing
them in such a way that they will /
bring their maximum returns. !
Dairymen need the Cow Testing As !
sociatiOns now
Executives of big business con-
Germs are watching expenditures /
and receipts more carefully now
than ever before. When business is
hOurishing profits are easily obtain
ed, but when margins are narrow
business can easily be ruined.
Many dairymen fail to realize the
Importance of checking up very
carefully on their COWS at the pres
ent time. In some communities
where herd improvement associa-
tions have been well established,
cow testers and farm advisers have
had some difficulty in obtaining suf
ficient membership to continue the
work. This in most caces may be
termed penny wise and pound fool
ish for never was a herd improve,
ment association more important
than it is at the present time.
When the prices on dairy pro-
ducts were somewhat higher than
they are at the present time, many =
COWS of average production may
have made a little profit. However,
under present conditions it is only
he most efficient COWS that are
really making the dairyman profit =
md he should, therefore. be vitality
Interested in keeping a more accu-
ate business record of what his
lnits are doing for him.
By actually keeping record on
hese COWS in connection with herd
work, he can eliminate :
he average COWS, maintain only
hose which are most efficient and
hen by saving the offspring of these
ows, he can build up herd that c
will be doubly valuable to him as 1
he dairy situation improves. =

THIS MAN FEARED
BANKS, THIEVES TOOK 1T
[COniinned from First Page]

He reported the theft of the money
to the county authorities.
Several weeks ago Barrett drop
ped package containing $500 from
his pocket. A neighbor's dog that
had been trained to carry packages
found the money and carried it in his
mouth to his master, who returned
it to Barrett.
1t is alleged that it was generally
known that Barrett lacked faith in
banks and carried considerable
money on his person.
Banks are far safer for the pro-
lection of money than tin cans or
other home devices. The expert
ences of Barrett may happen to any
person hiding away or carrying his
