GET PLEDGES OF AID FOR
A LONGER DUCK SEASON
DELMARVA ASSOCIATION GIFT
A ASSURANCE FROM SENATOR'S
Formal Action Taken at Mid.
Winter Meeting of Official Board
to Change Thirty-Day Period

Assurance from United States
Senators and Congressman repre-
senting Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia, as well as nationally
prominent sportsmen that thew
will cooperate with the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association "a
use their influence to secure
lengthening Of the open season for
duck and goose shooting, has been
received at association headuuart-
ers. Formal action taken at the
midWinter meeting of the official
board Of the association resulted
in representatives of the three
States in Washington being asked
to cooperate in an effort to secure
a change from the thirty day per
iod ordered by the u. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Bureau of
Biological Survey, last year, ex-
tending from November 16 to De
cember IS, to a period covering
practically the same number Of
shooting days but extended over
three months with restricted
shooting days each week. Because
Of Del-Mar-Va bay and ocean
shore lines being recognized as a
section Of the finest duck and
goose grounds in the United States
and this naturally providing EN-
ployment for a large number Of
men as caretakers, guides and
bOatmen, the curtailment of the
season last year cut their employ
ment about Sc per cent and, ac-
cording to association officials, left
many Of the finest stretches Of
ground, such as the lead
ing clubs on Chesapeake Bay and
the ocean side without the protec-
ton provided when caretakers are
retained throughout the season. !
This was deemed by the associa-
ton as a decided lessening of pro-
lection for wild fowl. Based on
complaints from all sections of the
Peninsula, not only from sports
men but from many whose en-
ployment was affected, the Asso-
citation formally entered protest
and asked for an extension as out
lined. They filed protest with H.
A. Sheldon, Acting Chief, Bureau
Of Biological Survey, as well as
calling upon nited States Senators
and Congressman representing
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
Acting Chief Sheldon has acknowl- (.
edged the protest giving assurance
hat the suggestions and opinions
set forth will be given careful con-
sideration and advising that no
definite conclusion for the 1882 /
season can be made until the Bu-
eau completes its Investigations /
his Spring. Several of the most
loted sportsmen in the country, /
earning of the Associations en-
ieavor, have volunteered their CO.
operation to secure the change re-
Iuested.

keeping company with a married
man. A woman in Ocean City, he
is said to have threatened, swore
out the warrant, which landed him
in Jail. Mathies has a wife and
two daughters. He threatened to
blow the lid off of Worcester
County and expose Worcester
County officials and on several oc-
casions he tried to procure writs
for some of the officials. He then
appealed to Governor Richie but
received no encouragement so he
announced he was going to appeal
to someone other than the Cover

a letter was published in a local

Experts Foiling Boil
Weeyil With Red Cotton

Kingstree, S. CA species Of red
cotton, which has no attractions for
the destructive boil weevil, Is being
developed by ]. F. Pearce and G. B
Pearce, cotton planters near here.
Four years ago one Of the brothers
noticed red stalk of the cotton grow
ing in a field. He saved the seed
from that plant and the following year
raised two rows Of the same red cot
ton. The next year there was enough
seed for an acre and half, and this
year two and a half acres were
planted.
The stalk, stem, boil and leaf, all
are red and the blossom, instead of
the customary white the first day
and red the second, is lined with pink
markings at first and then progresses
to deep rose and then brilliant red
color.
1t was discovered this year that the
boil weevil did not disturb the red
cotton planting.

Brothers Find in Canada
Leads to Stampede.

Gogama, Ont.-Covering distances
In IS or 40 minutes flying time that
require two to two and one-half days
by canoe travel, eight airDlanes are
transporting prospectors, mining en-
gineers and equipment from Minisi-
nakwa lake here to Brett lake in
Swayze township, some forty-f1ve miles
to the west in the Canadian brush"
which is the scene of Canada's latest
"gold rush."
Gold was discovered in the Brett
lake area on August Is by two broth
ers, ]. g. and ]. L. Kenty, one a
brakeman during the wintertime on
the Canadian National railways. For
several weeks after their discovery
of the rich gold-bearing quartz ore,
the two brothers continued their pros
pectfng work there undisturbed. After
stalking a number Of claims for them
selves, they quietly made their way
out Of the wilderness to Sudbury to
record the claims at the provincial
mining Office.
Returning to Brett lake, they
brought third brother, Miner Kenty,
Of Cobalt, Ont, and his wife, that
they might stake claims, too. For sew
eral weeks they worked undisturbed
until Tom Montgomery, an old-time
Canadian prospector and his pilot,
Bert Millar, in their Gypsy Moth sea-
plane, flew into the area and learned
about the Kenty brothers find" Of
gold ore.

Baby Plane Is Designed

London.-An airplane with a land
ing speed Of eight miles an hour, pow
cred by motorcycle engine, will soon
make it's appearance in England. The
machine was first designed for the
nine-year-old son of Herr Klemm, we'll
known German designer. Its top speed
Of 40 miles an hour compares with
the minimum Of most light airplanes.
The slow landing speed whereby it
would be almost impossible to injure
the pilot or damage the plane is at

tip to tip. A novice can fly it after
two or three lessons, and it cruises at
about the same cost as motorcycle.

Piltdown Man at Least 1885,
600 Years Old.

New Haven, Conn.-England and
not Java is the seat of the earliest
known human habitation, the Nation
al Academy of Sciences in session at
Yale university was told.
Introducing an entirely new concep-
ton of evolution which revises the
ages of fossilized human relics, DR..
Henry Fairfield Osborne, director en-
eritus of the American Museum Of
Natural History, New York, told sci
entists his measurements Of teeth
enamel prove the Piltdown man dis
covered in an English gravel pit is
at least 1,25O,O00 years old.
He said the Java man, known as
Pithecanthropus Erectus, and hereto
fore believed to be the earliest known
human, is only 100000 years old.
Scientists have found a way to fig
ure that prehistoric elephants are a
million years older than generally fig
ured.
Their method for so figuring was
explained by Doctor Osborne.
An entirely new conception of evo-
luton is envisaged in the method he
explained, which calls for determining
the age of the man by means Of the
enamel foldings on the grinding teeth
of elephants.
Doctor Osborne's theory, the result
of a lifetime research, introduces a

But what else could there be
in that lovely face, or in that
lucky young life? Though only
rs, she has already found ro-

Surely, she should be satisfied!
And yet, is she?
Perhaps DR.. Will Durant was
wondering that when he wrote
a certain question and sent it

WHAT MEANING HAS LIFE
FOR YOU?" was the question.
Astonishing Statement
What meaning need life

competent, confident young
woman with the quiet eyes?

answer:

power of life within her hands,
Helen Wills Moody yet wants
to be-on her way.
How amazing!
How wise!
Almost a miracle that the
happiness and success which
ruin so many young spirits
should not have blinded her
straight eyes.
She sees clearly that thing
which some of us never see,
which others only see when it
is too late:
THE MOMENT WE ARE
SATISFIED, THAT MOMENT
WE BEGIN TO DIE.
ONLY THOSE WHO ARE
NOBLY RESTLESS AND
