More Land for Hunters.
Nine thousand nine hundred acres
of land to be used for a public hunt-
ing ground has been purchased by the
State Game Commission, it was an-
nounced a few days ago.
The 9,900 acres are divided into
three tracts. :
It was said that the Commission
later plans to set aside about one-
fifth of each tract for game refuges.
One tract, containing 3,088 acres, is
located in Monroe county, near
Stroudsburg; one, containing 2,867
acres, is located near Wellsboro, in
Tioga county, while the third with
3,945 acres, is in Bradford county.
It was pointed out that the Com- |
mission now has under contract to
purchase approximately 75,000 acres
of land.
The purchases are being made from
additional funds raised by an increase
in the hunters’ license fees as pro-
vided by the last Legislature.

| Speedometer Test Course to be Es-
tablished North of Williamsport.
Harrisburg.—Speedometer testing
courses, a mile in length, will be es-
tablished on Pennsylvania .Highways,
in sixty-six counties of the State,
Philadelphia excepted, by the Penn-
sylvania Department of Highways,
Secretary James Lyall Stuart an-
nounced today.
If after a trial, the courses are
well received by the public, addi-
tional ones will be established. Phila-
delphia county is excepted as the De-
partment exercises no control over
the roads or streets in that county.
Each speedometer course will be
one mile in length, marked with signs
indicating the beginning and end of
the course. A sign, showing the lo-
cation of the course, will be placed
300 feet in advance of its beginning.
In announcing the plan, Secretary
Stuart said: *
“The speedometer course will serve
First, it will enable
the motorist to check the accuragy
of his speedometer and, second, it
| will assist in keeping within the speed"
i laws. Motorists using the course,
are advised to travel at a speed thir-
ty miles per hour throughout the
| length of the course to Insure ac-
{ curacy and if their speedometers are
‘right, they will cover the course in
| exactly two minutes. Frequent use
‘ of the course to check speedometers,
!is urged upon motorists as speedo-
‘meters frequently get out of proper
adjustment. The Department of
Highways, in establishing this inno-
, vation, believes that it will be re-
ceived with approval by the motor-
ing public and welcomes any criti-
cism or suggestions as to its useful-
ness or practicability.”
| Locations of the test courses are
as follow:

Completion of the proposed power
dam in the Susquehanna river at Con-
owingo will end shad fishing in that
stream acording to Hugh W. McCall,
aged York attorney and former own-
er of the famous shad batteries
south of the MecCall’s Ferry dam.
''he building of the big dam at Mc-
Call’s Ferry was a big “setback” to
the shad fishing industry, he declar-
ed, asserting the proposed Conowingo
dam will end it completely.
“We could have had electricity and
shad, too,” Mr. McCall said, “if a
proper fishway had been constructed
when the McCall’s Ferry dam was
built. The spawning fields of the
shad lie beyond the dam and can #
longer be reached by the fish. It has
become unprofitable to operate the
batteries at Havre de Grace. In an-
other year the shad fishing industry
on the Susquehanna will be a thing
of the past and Susquehanna shad
will become a memory.
The passing of the shad fishing in-
dustry along the Susquehanna near
the Mason-Dixon line: will close a
unique chapter in the history of the
people of that section of York and
Lancaster counties. . .The . fishermen
lived by themselves. Their quarrels
were settled outside county courts
and it was seldom their activities
were heard of outside their immedi-
ate neighborhood. There is a smail
island in the river near the shad bat-
teries known as Battle Island, upon
which fishermen, who had quarreled,
settled their differences with their
bare fists. It was because of the pur-
pose for which it was used that the
island was given and has retained the
name “Battle Island.”
Battle Island, along with a num-
ber of others formerly owned by Mr.
McCall, has been sold to interests
which are developing power projects
in the river.—Lititz Record.

Californian Spends Week Studying
Game Management in Penn-
sylvania.
Harrisburg, Pa.——Manly S. Har-
ris, recently appointed a member of
the game refuge and public shooting
ground advisory committee, of the
State of California, spent the past
‘week in Pennsylvania studying meth-
ods of game management, particular-
ly our method of propagating game
under natural conditions. He had
been instructed by the Governor of
California to come to Pennsylvania
to study methods and systems "in
vogue here.
California recently increased its
hunter’s license fee from one to two
dollars. The increase of one dollar
is specifically to be set aside for the
purchase of lands for game refuges
and public shooting grounds, and it
is expected that $900,000 a year will
be available for this purpose.
According to Harris lands which
they will purchase may cost as much
as $75 per acre. Pennsylvania’s law
provides that our Game Commission
may not pay more than $10 per acre.
California is particularly interested
in acquiring ponds and other areas
which can be flooded to provide wild
water fowl refuges. They also will
create refuges for upland game.

Rare Pewter Set.
The State Museum is the proud
possessor of an ancient six-piece tea
set in almost perfect condition.
It was donated to the State Muse-
um by Miss M. Helen Magee, of
Wrightsville, in the name of her
brother, the late Robert Magee, of
Harrisburg.
The pewter set was made by Dixon
and Son, of London, England, about
1749. The set consists of two tea
pots, two sugar bowls, one cream
pitcher and a large tray.
This pewter has been in the Ma-
gee family many generations. It now
forms the most valuable part of the
State Museum’s exhibit of pewter
ware.

Solution of Last Week’s Puzzle.
Aurora Borealis.
Dr. Carl Stormer, a Swedish scien-
tist, has made a special study of the
aurora borealis and one of these dem-
onstrations which he observed was
from 800 to 600 miles above the
earth. Some of these rays of light
shot out so far that they were il-
luminated by the light of the sun,
which was far below the horizon at
the time. His investigations may
result in some additional informatic®
about the nature of the atmosphere
at points far above the earth.
