Grouse legally, it stated the

Der he might kill during the hunting
season. The makers of the law had
seen that unless this was done there
would soon be no Grouse to shoot, for
each year the number of hunters
increased.
There had been time when the best
shots had had no difflculty in killing
all that the law permitted. The time
had come, however. when few could do
that and many returned home each
night with nothing to show for the day
Of hunting. Two OF these met on their

How 1t Started
The Word Canopy" "
By JEAN NEWTON.

A canopy Is an overtanging cover
ing which we use as shade or shelter,
or, sometimes, as mark Of distinction
on a special occasion. Strange that its
literal meaning should be "gnat!"
The word comes to us from the
Greek "konops' The derivative,
"conopeion." described a bed with mos
quito curtains-a protection against
"gnats.'' 1t is from this through the
late Latin 'conopeum" and the old
French "conopee" that we have our
modern canopy"

Selection of Costume Jewelry
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

note some points. If it is to wear well
and prove practical. For example, no
tice the size of the stick pin in a
brooch. It should be strong and very
slender. If 1t is stout and stury it will
make holes in the costume, and If the
gown IS Of light color, these marks are
blemishes. Whether the pin is right
or not, 1t is wise to thrust 1t in the
identical holes first made, thus avoid
ing smattering of wee, dark pin
pricks.
Note whether clasps are good. An
insecure clasp for a necklace will cost
you the necklace some day. as it will
give and the chain be lost. Links of
chains should be smooth, so that they
do not catch in clothes. Be sure ear
rings have good shanks. They should
be long enough to be put on the ear
easily, but not so long that they pro-
trude far, when the earring Is screwed
In the ear lobe.

well as the health Of the forest workers.
There are from to II buildings at each
camp and some Of these must have two
or more stoves to furnish adequate heat.
While some of the orders for stoves
amount to no more than $1,000, other
Arms have received orders ranging up
to $63.000. To date nearly 80 firms and
factories are working their employees
overtime to supply the needs. Most Of
the factories had been working pre-
viously on part-time basis. In the Sd
Corps Area, which embraces the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, 1882 stoves still are
to be delivered at G. G. G. camps. Ap-
proximate1y 1880 already have been
delivered. Some Of the corps areas will
require q greater .umber.

ian Conservation Corps, has impressed
upon the Army purchasing agents the
need for speed and more speed In the
deliveries.

tories that formerly were slumping from

Most of the stoves are Of the wood
burning variety, but in areas close to
the mines instructions have been given
to use coal, which can be purchased
cheaper than wood.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA Canada, December L.
Canada's action in modifying its pro-
posed dumping duty against American
goods will, 1t is hoped, induce American
reduction of liquor duties and facilitate
the sale of some 10000, 900 gallons
Of Dominion whisky awaiting shipment
across the border.
Under the modified order. Canada's
dumping duty will apply only If and
when the Al. 4lican dollar goes below
95 cents. Originally it had been in
tended to rate the dollar for tariff pur-
poses at its par of 100 cents, irrespective
of exchange fluctuations.
It is doubtful, meanwhile, whether
Canada win make any other tariff ges-
ture as a means of finding on outlet for
its millions of gallons of rye and Bour-
bon. Premier Richard B. Bennett's
government here is thoroughly sold on
intraempire trade and, II any trade
concessions are to be made to the
United States, such will not be granted,
it is said, at the expense Of empire COM
merce.
Obviously, American trade would suf-
fer in these circumstances. Canadian
distillers, however, are sttll trying. with
American help. to get Washington to
lower the duty Of S. a gallon now In
