The experience of the Ben-Hur
Life Association has convinced the
officers of that fraternal life insur-
ance organization that these inter-
esting personalities are not so rare
as the experience of the ordinary
individual might lead him to think.
Back in 1927 the association be-
gan to keep records of the twins
that joined it, and since hardly a
month has passed without the adj
dition of from one to half dozen
pairs. They join at all ages from
35 down, but by far the greater
number are under 16 years old and
therefore become members of what
is known as the Ben-Hur Junior
Order.
The names of all twins who join
are printed in the Chariot, official
publication of the association, and
scores have had their pictures in
the Chariot. In the current issue
the Ben-Hur members in Indian
apolis have been particularly inter-
ested in the excellent picture of

old twins of $50 North keystone

The myriad wild duck flights that
passed in and out of Indiana and
rendezvoused in the Kankakee have
vanished with the passing of that
famous refuge And all to what end

DOWN on Lemons creek marsh,
- in Greene county, now drained
of its last drop of water, came a
man with purpose. Captain Smith
of Worthington had that purpose
to restore at least a part of his boy
hood haunts to a more or less prim-
tive state.
He has pointed out the way to our
state conservation department Il
method of saving for us a small part
of our former wild fowl population.
On 120 acres Of old marsh now re-
Hooded, last winter he carried over
a flock Of wild ducks and Canada
geese estimated to have numbered
at least 100000 sand birds. 1t was a
sight to spring the pulse and ban
ish, at least temporarily, the cares
Of the depression.
Drainage of Our swamp lands
destroyed the breeding grounds of
millions Of wild things. Water fowl,
water animals, marsh inhabiting
bird life, mostly insectivorous, and
finally reduced the fish population.
1t takes no fertile Imagination to
conjure up the reason for the pres
ent scarcity Of fish in Indiana. The
breeding or spawning grounds have
been restricted and those left in the
main stream courses have been pol
luted to the extent that even a pol
lywog finds itself hard pressed to
live. The tribe of fishermen have
multiplied hundred-fold and al
most without exception they have
adopted a short-sighted view that
the state should furnish them I'M

then goes across the street and in

dead by noon and expects the state

an unlimited supply of edible fish is,
in my humble opinion, firm be-
lever in Santa Claus.
To have your sport, you fishermen
will have to do one or more of
several things - protest further
drainage, clean your streams, stop
soil erosion by reforeStation of
watersheds, stop sitting over of
spawning beds and gravel bars, re-
port depredations of fish pirates,
avoid being one yourself, and finally
either raise enough fish in your
local club to make up for those you

department a larger license fee to
do it for you.

Franck declares they offer the most

and unusually long service.
This enthusiasm he inculcates into
large number of Marion county

drive it to Franck's place of business,

The Franck shop services tires of
all kinds. Tire prices are on the up

Offices, Rooms and Homes
Can Be Comfortable at
Little Cost.

Occasionally, in the extremely
hot weather, one enters an office
where everybody seems to be keenly
alert, and where no one is grum-
bling at the weather or gasping in
the humidity of muggy day. Men
and women go about their accus-
toned tasks at ease, withsall facul-
ties alert, and in comfort.
In such offices, if one will look
about, he will see a strange piece
Of furniture, quite in keeping with
the office equipment, and yet with
out filing drawers or compartments.
Soon he will discover that the COOL
ness Of the office seems to come
from fan located on this piece of
furniture, and the air will have g
reviving effect on those who breathe
it.
Asking questions, the visitor will
learn that what makes hot rooms
as cool as ocean breezes comes from
this Modine ice fan, an appliance
distributed by the Polar Ice and
Fuel Company. This portable ice
cooler makes hot, stuffy rooms cool
and invigorating by the circulation
of clean, fresh, tempered air, and
reduces excessive humidity by dry
ing out its moisture.
It's operation is simplicity itself.
All that is required is that it be
plugged into any electric light
socket. In cost it is little more than
a good electric fan-and it is a
means of doing more and better
work, for the mind of the worker
is not distracted by the discomfort
Of great heat.
Three sizes are offered-thus car
ing for the small office or the large
one. In fact, there is no reason
why its use should be confined to
offices. 1t is a fine addition to the

BUFFALO, ONCE
RARE animal.
ISON INCREASE
Efforts of National Park
Service Rewarded as
Herds Grow.
BY DAVID DIETZ
soripps Howard Science Editor

A NIMALS of western America,
n once threatened with total ex-
tinction, are being saved in the
United States national parks.
The national park service has
done particularly fine work in saw
ing the bison-or buffalo, as he is
more often called-in Yellowstone
national park, and the antelope at
the Grand canyon.
Yellowstone national park, one Of
the great areas ranged by buffalo
in their wild state, suffered from
a depletion in the herds of these
animals almost to the point of ex-
tinction," Horace M Albright, di-
rector of the national park service,
says
"A few new animals, specially Sc
lected from Texas and Montana
herds, were introduced into the park,
intensive management undertaken,
and today the bison herd numbers
over a thousand and could be much
larger were the range sufficient to
support greater number.
Thrive in Canyon
In the Grand canyon an inter-
esting restocking effort with antelope
is just passing out of the expert
mental stage.
AT one time these plains ante
lope were plentiful at the canyon,
but changing conditions, possibly
caused largely by the wide spread of
the descendants of hardy burros left
in the canyon by prospectors lured
to other fields, brought about their
disappearance from their former
range
In 1924, twelve antelope kids,
six bucks and six does, were taken
to the canyon, fed and kept under
close observation for some time,
then released on the Tonic Plat
form where it was hoped they would
thrive and multiply"
Oppose Other Species
At first, it did not look as though
the antelopes would survive in the
Canyon. They found the new con-
ditions difficult and fell a prey to
predatory animals.
After five years of fighting against
odds, by the end of 1929 the herd
included only nine animals, four of
them kids. But apparently, better
days are ahead.
Mr.. Albright points out that it is
a fundamental policy of the park
system only to restock with animals
which originally belonged in the re-
gion. The system is opposed to the
introduction of exotic species of ami
mails or plants.
