assistant in the form of a 3-year-old
sister. The assistants first appear

She needed all the things which
Butch" required when he first showed
on the scene.
That the whole thing was strictly
business with Butch" was apparent
before they'd been in the building IS

TAGS.
DART of the fun of Washingtonians
touring New England In recent
months has been seeing and hearing
about the automobile license plates
they have up there.
Maine tags, for instance, carry the
words Vacation Land" BIT Of en-
terprise that looked pretty good until
undertakers refused to put such plates
on their hearses and ambulances
They did not think the point was 50
well taken in the case of such vehi-
cles. State officials finally agreed and
issued special tags for all cars func-
tioning in the fields of death and
disaster.
Vermont tags carry the doleful news
that the Green Mountain State "Ex.
pire, March 1887" The juxtaposi-
ton Of that legend and the name OF
the State makes any other deduction
impossible.

DUCK SHOOTING 'ANNOUNCEDl-OR OCTOBER 1 TO V
30-Day Open Season Two Weeks Later in Alaska
 than Last Year

The duck season in Southeast AL aska will be from October 1 to Oc- tober 30, it is announced today in an Associated Press dispatch to The Empire from Washington. Last year the season was from Septenf- Der 20 to October 19 The South east district includes the area from the Hist meridian to Dixon's En- trance.
 For the territory north of the Alaska Range, the season has been set by the Biological Survey from September 1 to September 30, and south of those mountains and west of the 14lst meridian and east to False Pass to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula September Is to October Is. The islands including Unimak, Unalaska, Akutan, Aktun and west of Chignik Pass will have open season from November l to S0th.
 Same Stringent Restrictions
 In announcing the 30-day season, the Biological Survey said the same stringent restrictions would be im- posed as last year in the main. Redhead and canvas back ducks and Atlantic brant are added to the protected list. The United States s divided into three divisions in- stead of two. The season in the northern division opens October 10 nd closes November and the da ly bag limit, which applies to Alaska is 10 ducks and four geese and brant.
 c later season is considered much more acceptable to Southeast Alaska hunters, officials feel, as last season there was much com- plaint that the season was over be- fore the majority of the ducks ac- tually arrived.
 The actual regulations in connec- tion with shooting are as follows:
 The daily and possession bag linn 1t is l9 ducks in the aggregate of all species, 4 III the aggregate Of geese and brant and IS snipe. Pro- tected species for which no open season is provided include the Ross geese, ruddy, bufflehead and wood ducks and swans.
 Duck Stamps
 Every person over sixteen years of age who hunts ducks must have on his person a validated Migra- tory Bird Hunting Stamp. These stamps are sold by postoffices at Sl each and the proceeds are used in the important program of water fowl restoration throughout the country. It is unlawful to hunt waterfowl without having a duck stamp in possession and the penalty for violation of this Act is a fine of not more than $500 or by im- prisonment not longer than six months, or both. The stamp must
