DON'TS FOR HUNTERS.
Don’t forget to place your resident
hunter’s license certificate in your
hunting clothes before you leave
home. Be sure to countersign your
license certificate. Your license is not
good until it’s signed.
Don’t fail while hunting to wear
Jour license tag in the middle of the
ack on the outer
scribed by law. :
Don’t hunt on some other fellow’s
license. The fellow who loans you his
license is, as well as yourself, violat-
ing the law, and the penalty is $20.00
apiece.
Don’t exceed the bag
game mammals and
fellow who exceeds the bag limits is
cheating his fellow sportsmen; he is '
taking an ungentlemanly advantage
of the hunter who plays fair.
* Don’t forget to respect the farm-
ers’ rights. Secure permission to |
hunt. Stay off posted land unless you
have permission.
Don’t carry off personal property
on land where you are privileged to
hunt. Hunters who fill their coats
with apples, turnips, corn and nuts,
without permission, do not help the
farmer-hunter problem,
Don’t forget to secure the license
number of the hunter who destroys
personal property or one who com-
mits larceny of the farmer's Crops.
Turn this number in to your nearest
game protector. Be sure to get the
county number at the top as well as
the license number at the bottom of
the tag. If you can’t secure either,
then if the hunter has an automobile
get his automobile license number.
' Don’t enter primary or auxiliary
game refuges with dog or gun. These
limits on

"autumn and winter months?”
garment as pre-
; Brakes, which must measure up to a
I maximum at all times, will be espe-
e birds. The |
sanctuaries belong to the sportsmen
and are used to propagate large and i
small game. Land adjacent to the |
refuges, however, is open to legalized
hunters in season.
Don’t shoot within 150 yards of oc-
£¥pied buildings. It’s against the
aw.
Don’t hunt in crowds, and thereby
avoid accidents. More than 70 per
cent. of the fatal and non-fatal acci-
dents last year occurred while gun-
ners were hunting small game.
Don’t take a loaded shot gun into
an automobile with you. Remove the
shells first.
Don’t climb over a fence with a
loaded shot gun; remove the shells
from the chambers and then get over,
or lay the gun on the ground. Never
pull a gun through the fence after
you. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. ,
Don’t shoot promiscuously while in
the fields or woods; and never use a
live tree as a target. Target prac-
tice, unless you have a substantial
barracks constructed, is a menace to
human life.
Don’t gun on Mondays,
and Wednesdays, beginning October
15th until and including November
80th, for woodcock, grouse, ringneck
pheasants, quail, bobwhite, black and
gray squirrels and wild turkeys.
Don’t forget that the season for
raccoon opens October 15th and ends
on November 30th, with hunting six
days a week.
Don’t forget that the woodcock sea-
son opens October 18th, week end
hunting only, and that federal regu-
lations close the season November
14th.
Don’t shoot ringneck hens. Look
for the long tail, the white collar, or
the green head.
Don’t shoot ruffed grouse or wild
turkeys before sunrise or after sun-
set. Other .small game aside from
woodcock and wild waterfowl may be
shot from one-half hour before sun-
rise to one-half hour after sunset.
Don’t forget that blackbirds are
protected this season. Protection of
blackbirds was effected to save the
song and insectivorous birds, because
it was found that many hunters who
went out, ostensibly to shoot black-
birds, killed protected birds.
Don’t shoot a baby bear; they're
protected. Bear season opens Novem-
ber 1st, with week-end hunting to
and including November 30th. Then
six days a week beginning December
1st, ending December 15th.
Don’t shoot a fawn. Get one of the
big, barren does. Antlerless deer,
only, are legal this season. When this
year’s deer season is over the sexes
will be better balanced than they have
been for years.
Don’t forget to look closely before
shooting at an antlerless deer. When
the brush cracks be sure your quarry
is a doe. Unless you're ‘careful you
may kill a man!
Fire, the merciless, insatiable de-
stroyer, may wipe out in an hour what |
nature has taken years, perhaps cen-
turies, to build. Pennsylvania’s hunt-
ers must be careful with fire.
The season promises to be a rela-
tively dry one, so the damage from
fire is imminent. Fire destroys not
only game food and cover, but it ex-
terminates the game itself. Areas |
which have been laid waste by fire |
may lie useless for years—scarred,
ugly, devoid of all life.
Forest fires can be prevented. Cam
fires can be thoroughly extinguished.
Burning cigarettes can be ground in-
to the damp soil or thrown into the
water. Only criminal carelessness, as
a rule, is responsible for the start-
ing of forest fires.
The greatest single reason for the |
success of Pennsylvania as a Game
State is that our wooded mountains
furnish an ideal home for game. So
long as these mountains can furnish
food and cover, game life will con-
tinue to be abundant. Let fire de-
stroy our woodlands and the game will
disappear. :
Tuesdays
A Scotchman and his wife went in-
to a restaurant. Both ordered sand-
wiches. After receiving them the
waitress noticed that the lady was
not eating. She went over and asked
her if there was anything wrong with
the food.
“Oh! No.”
“Well, why aren't you eating then?”
“Why, my husband is using the
teeth.” TE 1
NEGLECT IS GREATEST
DANGER TO MOTORISTS.
Unless the family car, the firm's
truck and the business coupe have re-
ceived their share of attention, fall
house cleaning has not been a success,
ways declared today in a bulletin.
“Folks clean their cellars and many
of them swept out and painted up the
garage during Fire Prevention Week.
Why not give the car a little thought-
ful consideration so it will be ready to
meet the unusual conditions Suring
e
bulletin asks.
Heavy fogs are characteristic of
these fall evenings and in some of the
mountain communities ice may be ex-
pected at any time. Windshield wip-
ers should be oiled and adjusted to in-
sure their operation when needed.
cially vital to safety while driving if
subject to such conditions.
A general “going over” would be
very timely to any car, after the rig-
orous uses during the summer
months. It is nothing more than nec- |
essary precaution to check up the!
various features and mechanisms. |
Many truck owners completely ig- !
nore the lights on a truck because |
summer days are long and they sel- |
dom have occasion to use the lights. |
From neglect and disuse the lighting |
equipment becomes out of adjust- |
ment, lenses are cracked, bulb fila- |
ments are damaged and the entire :
unit becomes dust covered. Dust |
creeps into the tiny crevices and fil-'
ters inside the lamp so that only a |
feeble ray reaches the outside if the
lamp works at all. i
The vehicle code requires lights to
be in good order at all times, whether |
they are used or not, as long as the '
vehicle is being operated on high- |
ways. The department warns that it |
is not so much the illegal phase of the
neglect as the fact that many lights :
are not working when they are most
needed and vehicles are operated des-
pite the fact.
Heavy traffic conditions of the sum-
mer are more than parallel in winter
by peculiar atmospheric changes and
the sudden shifting of weather. The
sudden changes find the motorist un- :
prepared, without chains or other
vital needs and accidents are the re-
sult. Most accidents at any time can
be avoided. Steering in a heavy wind
is hard work but it is positively dang-
erous if the steering mechanism is not
in good condition, the bulletin asserts.
Many people believe that head-
lights must be used only at night.
This is no longer the case, for the law
requires them to be lighted any time
conditions warrant and sensible mo- |
torists will light them even before the
need arises, to protect themselves.
These little attentions are the work
of only a few moments but they may
save years of someone’s life. The old ,
quotation is still fitting, “For want of
a nail a shoe was lost; for want of a |
shoe a horse was lost; for want of a!
horse a kingdom was lost.”
“Don’t forget the little things that
cause big accidents,” the bulletin
urges.

SELF-RESPECT
1. Keep yourself in good physical
condition by eating and sleeping reg-
ularly and by taking plenty of exer-
cise.
2. Keep yourself clean by frequent
bathing. There is no excuse for an
unclean body.
8. Manicure your nails and keep
them neat and clean.
4. Dress modestly, and do not try
to attract attention by extreme styles.
5. High school is not the place for
a display of powder and rouge.
Diseased Rabbits Might Infect Hu-
mans,
Hunters and others who dress wild
rabbits are warned to use special care
in order to avoid the possibility of
contracting tularemia. This disease,
according to the communicable disease
division, is a discovery of recent
years, and is occasioned by the germ
entering the system through a scratch
or open sore. Indications of this dis-
ease will be noticed in the rabbit’s
liver, where white spots will show in
case of infection. All wild rabbits
should be thoroughly cooked before
being eaten, irrespective of any sus-
picion of tularemia.

FIND UNKNOWN SCRIPT
IN ORKNEY ISLANDS
Cravestone Inscription Is
in Strange Alphabet.
London.—An inscription in a hith-
erto unknown alphabet and a double
burial in circumstances strongly sug-
gesting human sacrifice have been
added tc discoveries made during the
excavation of the prehistoric Plot
village at Skara Brae, on the south-
ern shore of the Bay of Skail in the
Orkney islands. This village is de-
clared to be the most important arche-
ological discovery in western Europe
in recent years.
V. Gordon Childe, professor of
archeology in Edinburgh university,
has now given out more details of
what was found in the most interest-
ing of the six huts so far unearthed.
“The whole hut has been laid bare,”
he writes, “in the same condition in
which its inhabitants left it at the
moment, presumably, of hasty evacu-
ation. The floor is littered with scraps
of bones and broken pottery, together
with ornaments and tools. Cooking
pots containing bonés stood in the
corners and beside the hearth. There
was a little hoard of amulet of beads
in a cell in the rear wall. Moreover,
mainly domestic fixtures being made
of stone still survived.
Limpets Were Staple Food
“In the center one saw from the
doorway a hearth inclosed by stone
slabs set on edge. Immediately be-
hind stood a stone block that may
have served as a seat or a pillar base.
Built against the rear wali in the
center was a two-storied erection of
stone slabs, reseinbling a dresser.
“To the right was u group of shite
It has
been suggested that they were filled
with sea water and used as a recep
tacle for limpets. Certainly those
shelifish were a staple article of food.
and the joints of the boxes seem care
fuily ecalked with clay,
“Along the side walls were in-
closures resembling pigsties made of
great stone slabs set on edge.
“Shinilar structures had been noted
in huts previously excavated. But
our hut presents two unique features.
In the floor of the sty on the right
a grave had been dug. In the tomb
{ lay two skeletons in a contracted po-
; sition, the legs doubled up. Beyond
limpet shells, flint flakes and a couple
of stone knives, no funeral offering
accompanies the bodies.
Ciffers From Runiec.
“The cover stone of the grave is
built into the wall in such a way that
. it is clear that the burial was con-
temporary with the foundation of the
hut. I believe the skeletons belong
to human victims sacrificed to confer
stability upon the walls, a practice
reported among many primitive peo-
ples today.
“Yet startling was an observation
made upon the great stone slab that
forms the front walls of the sty in-
closing the grave. Its upper edge fis
carved with markings too regular and
deep to be accidental and yet it is
not merely decorative. We had previ-
ously found a stone carved with a
geometrical pattern in one of the un-
derground streets, and a former ex-
cavation had brought to light a Rune.
“But the new marks are neither
merely ornamental nor belong to the
ordinary Runic alphabet. They must
be assigned provisionally to an un-
known script and surely constitute an
inscription that probably relates to
the grewsome relies reposing beneath
the wall behind.”
Reindeer Herders Vie
in Designing Brands
Juneau, Alaska.—Round-up days in
the old West are recalled as rein-
deer herders vie with each other over
the designing of brands for their
deer. Under a new law in Alaska all
reindeer must be branded on the right
hip in much the same manner as cat-
tle in Western states are marked.
One high school boy at Nome has
been drawing monograms and designs
for native herders and charging $5
each for them. Many Eskimo herders
are adept at making brand marks and
utilize the animal and natural life
about them in the designing, such as
seal, birds, bear, fish, flowers and
various leaves. All brands must be
filed with the secretary of the terri-
tory here and each one registered
with the owner's name,
Man Wears Same Pair
of Shoes for 36 Years
Oklahoma City. Okla.—Thirty-six
years with the same pair of shoes is
the record on which Christ Moeller,
eighty-six, says he will stand. “They
are the most comfortable shoes I ever
have had,” Moeller insists. The shoes
are made of wood, 6 by 14 inches.
They can be used for Lcwse slippers,
work shoes, and Sunday shoes, the
wearer says,
Not in Market
Ben Alder, England.—Lady Houston
has been obliged to announce that
sbe is not in the market for a hus-
baud. Ever since she voluntarily paid
$2,500,000 in death taxes on the estate
of her husband, Sir Robert Houston
multimillionaire shipowner, she has
received dozens of offers of marriage.
Shades in Currency
Dublin.—Orange and green curren-
cy notes, authorized by the Free State
government, are now in elrculation.
The pound note is green, the ten
shilling erange.
BLACK CAT BRINGS
LUCK TO FRIEND
Act of Rescue Results in $7,000
Catch.
Wildwood, N. J.—The tradition of
bad luck which has been woven about
the black cat was destroyed recently,
at least for Capt. Hilding Peterson of
the fishing schooner Clifton. As the
result of his kindness to a stowaway
black eat, in prohibiting his crew from
throwing it overboard to prevent a
jinx, the captain is $7,000 richer than
when he put out from Wildwood
Gubles,
When demands came from the fore-
castle to toss the cat overboard, Cap-
tain Peterson refused and shared his
eabin with it. At dawn during the
skipper’s watch the cat followed him
to the deck and sprang to the riging,
clawing its way upward to the empty
crow’s nest where a lookout had not
yet been stationed.
The captain climbed the ratlines to
its rescue and from the high place saw
a large area of the sea broken by baby
mackerel trying to escape the attack
of a school of bluefish.
Dories were lowered quickly, encir-
cling the entire school with seine, and
three hours later the Clifton sailed
into Cold Spring Harbor, the deck
waist deep in bluefish. Captain Peter-
Son was at the wheel, a black cat
perched on his shoulder.
The catch, the record of the season,
filled more than 400 barrels and
brought $7,000 at the docks. The crew
raised a fund to buy the cat, now the
pet of the ship, a silk cushion, several
cases of condensed milk and plenty of
can openers,
Experts Report U. S.
Free of Dengue F ever
Washington.—Except for sporadic
cases, the United States has been
practically free since 1922 from
dengne fever, the disease which has
swept over Athens and Piraes in the
last few weeks.
Official reports received by the pub-
lic health service indicate that almost
the entire population of those historie
centers has been affected by the epi-
demic, and some idea of the general
misery it has caused is undoubtedly
‘possessed by thousands im this coun
try who passed through the last Amer-
ican outbreak six years ago in Texas,
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The disease is one which seldom
ends fatally, but once it starts spread
ing it attacks large numbers of per-
sons. The victims are incapacitated
for varying periods, and, as in sea-
sickness, their suffering is of an ex-
ceptionally dispiriting nature,
It is known in this country as
“breakbone fever” owing to the deep-
rooted aches which are its principal
symptoms.
Vacuum Sweepers No
Worry to Corn Raisers
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Broomcorn
producers, watching with increasing
alarm the sale of modern houseclean-
ing equipment, may not have as much
cause f apprehension as the com-
blexion of current market conditions
indicat federal investigators be-
‘lieve.
In answer to queries from Olla-
homa, where 50 per cent of the Amer-
ican broom-corn crop is produced, G.
A. Collier of the government market
news service says that in relation to
average consumption there is scarce-
ly more than a month's supply of
broomcorn carried over from 1927 and
that pessimism is caused largely by
the fact that dealers have a quantity :
of high-priced stock on hand.
The weather last year, he says,
caused a decline in production and
manufacturers bought brush at a rela-
tively high price. There was no cor-
responding rise in price of brooms,

Belled Buzzard Tragic
Symbol Seen in Georgia
Sparta, Ga.— The famous
“belled buzzard” or at least one
of the species upon which some-
one has attached a bell, was
seen by several workmen on the
roof of Drummers’ Home hotel
here recently. The workmen
said the buzzard flew low over
the roof, before seeing them,
and they could plainly see the ;
small bell attached to the buz-
zard’s neck by a small leather
collar and could hear the tinkle
of the bell. Buzzards with this
distinguishing mark on them are
seen and reported here occa-
sionally but it is not known
whether they are all the same
bird or not.
Among the superstitions the
appearance of a belled buzzard
over a community is believed to
forecast a tragedy. Numerous
writers, among them Irvin 8.
Cobb, have made the belled vul-
ture the subject for fiction

Free Inspection Service
for the first 1500 miles
THE modern automobile is
a finely built picce of ma-
chinery and it will stand a
lot of abuse. Considering
the work it does, it gives sur-
prisingly little trouble. But
there isn’t a car made that
will not run better and
longer if given proper care.
The first few hundred
miles are especially impor-
tant because that is when
the mechanism of your car
is being broken in.
Proper aitention during
this period will lengthen is
life and prevent unnecessary
trouble later on.
We are pariicularly inter-
csted in this matter because
we believe it is our daty not
only tc make a goed auto-
mobile, but to help the
owner get the greatest pos-
sible use over the longest
period of time at a mini-
mum of trouble and
expense.
With this in view, the
cutire Ford dealer organ-
ization has been specially
trained and equipped to ser-
vice the new Model A car.
Furthermore, we have in-
structed every Ford
dealer to give the
following Free,
Inspection Service at 500,
1000 and 1500 miles:
Check battery
Check generator charging rate
Check distributor adjustment
Check carburcior adjustment
Check lights
Check brakes
Check shock absorber adjust-
ment
Check tire inflation
Check: steering gear
Change engine oil
Lubricate chassis
No charge is made for
labor or materials incidental
to this service, except, of
course, where repairs are
necessary through accident,
misuse or neglect. The only
charge is for new oil.
See your Ford dealer,
therefore, and get this Free
Inspection of your new car
at 500, 1000 and 1500
miles. Find out, too, how
little it will cost to have your
car given a thorough going-
over at regular periods
thereafter,
A checking-up by experi-
enced mechanics, together
with oiling and greasing
every 500 miles, will add
months and years to the life
of your car and mean more
economical and plea-
surable motoring
every mile you drive.
