possibly quite few filters Of new
ones, some Of them strange breeds,
and perhaps bit scalier than any
he ever knew.
Two years ago, the whippy lit
tie Trishman, with the rumpled
hair and the rumpled suit, wrote
piece in which he indicated
that the disquieting noises of the
capitalist system were just body
squeaks and that the engine was
still all right. His idea is to go
on from here, instead of backing
up, and it is to be assumed that
will be his take-off for the re-
vived magazine. After so years
OF battling for civic righteous
ness he concludes that the

everything right if we just stay
within its ground rules.

Do you always sift the flour once
just before measuring?
Do you use a fine granulated sugar
when making cakes? There is diff
ference, you know.
Do>you cream the shortening and
mix the cake with a beating mo-

Do you level off the teaspoon
measures of baking powder, salt or
soda with a knife so as to be sure
they, too, are accurate?
Do you start the oven 10 to Is

Do you use a small, inexpensive

Wild Game

Nature has not lost her wisdom in
adjusting their life cycle to changes
which the human race has not as
yet learned how to meet. But chief
among the causes of the gratifying
increase in wild life now reported
on all sides is the more widespread
acceptance of the principles of con-
servation and their more intelligent
application.
Only a few years ago there was
well-based alarm at the depletion of
wild-fowl This year reports on the
hatch and checks made at the fly
ways in the distant North agree that
when the season for this type OF
game opens, most species may be ex-
pected in great abundance. The rea-
son is not far to seek. Although the
program has not been completed,
there has been an increase in the
last six years of nearly 1000 per
cent in the acreage devoted to water
fowl refugees. In reporting these
gains the other day, DR.. Ira NJ. Ga
brielson, chief of the United States
Biological Survey, said that the ad-
dition of another 3,500,OO0 acres of
marsh at strategic points in the
breeding range is still an objective.
For the hunter, the wise use of
otherwise waste land spells good
sport. For every lover of the out
doors, it means a richer countryside
