WILD TURKEYS
GROWING SCARCER.
The northern wild turkey, piece de!
resistance of the Pilgrims’ first
Thanksgiving Day feast, may be sav-
ed from threatened extinction in the
Southern Appalachian region by the
establishment of the Great Smoky |
Mountains National Park. At pres-
ent, well-informed natives of the re-
gion admit, this most typically Amer-
ican bird is being gravely over-hunt-
ed and has reached a point of dis-
tressing scarcity. Game laws do not
afford it the protection they should,
because many of the native hunters
calmly disregarded them, and also be-
cause there are not enough game |
wardens to keep track even of the
“city” hunters who come in from the
outside. i
The hope that a national park, with
its absolute prohibition of all shoot- |
ing, backed by an adequate ranger
force, will bring an increase in the
depleted stocks of game is based on
the results of the establishment of
similar game sanctuaries in the na-
tional parks of the West. Yellow-
stone National Park, for instance,
has been the salvation of the rem-
nant of the American elk. There are
now over 20,000 of these animals in
the Yellowstone region, and the prob-
lem now faced by the game-conserv-
ing forces there is not how to save
the herd but how best to dispose of
the surplus animals. :
Other animals which it is hoped
will profit by the protection afforded
by national park rules are black bear
and Virginia deer. There are still a.
good many bear in the Great Smok-
ies, but they receive rather too much
attention from city hunters and have
become so shy that the average citi-
zen on vacation in the region never
gets to see them. Deer have been
shot out to a point where the herds
are dangerously small and where the
stock is declining in quality through
lack of new blood and resulting
| “It is doing finely,” she replied.
in-
breeding. {
Interested citizens on the Tennessee
side are willing to bring in fresh
stock from Pennsylvania
England, where the deer are more
plentiful, to improve the present
herds. But, they say, such new ani
mals would only be shot, and until an
area of complete year-round protec-
tion can be established restocking is
of little value. But with the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park once
in actual operation, its boundaries
will enclose a natural reservoir of
game, within which the native birds
or New ;
and animals can increase and multi- |
ply, spilling over the border into
areas where reasonable shooting will
be permitted.
Two Bus Lines Planned by Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co.
The Pennsylvania General Transit
Company, the bus subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania Railroad through R. K.
Stackhouse, of Philadelphia, a direc-
tor of the transit company made ap-
plication to the Public Service Com-
mission to operate the first interstate
bus service across the entire State.
Two routes are proposed in the pe-
tition as presented. The bus com-
pany would operate through the cen-
tral part of Pennsylvania, while the
route described in the Stackhouse ap-
plication is along the southern tier
Bottle-Raised Apple
Tree Something New
2filk-fed chickens and even milk-
fai porkers are no novelty, but did
Jou ever sink your teeth into a milk-
fed apple? It seems that a Brockton
matron was about to set out a young
apple tree and sought the advice of a
nearby storekeeper as to how it should
Ye planted.
He advised digzing a hole large
enough to hold the roots. Then a
short section of garden hose should be
put in place, reaching from the sur-
face to the roots, before the hole was
filled in. Milk, poured down the tu-
bing every day, would give the baby
tree nourishment until it got strong
2nough to take care of itself.
Some time afterward he inquired ot
the lady how the tree was getting on.
“1
give it milk every day, as you ad-
vised.” The storekeeper looked
stunned, then raised his hands in
Jespair.
“My Lord!” he gasped. “Didn't you
now 1 was only joking about that?”
Tha bottle raised-little tree no lang-
er gets its daily ration from contented
cows, but maybe when it begins to
develop apples they will have a
creamy flavor.—Montreal Family Her-

Remarkable Work of
Hindu Stone Carvers
The majestic stone carvings to be
found on all ancient buildings in In-
dia, gigantic Buddhas, the bulls and
the marvelous bas-reliefs are among
the wonders of the world. Equally
marvelous are the fretted walls of
oid Mogul palaces, Futtehpore Sikri.
and the forts at Agra and Delhi. Won
derful artists and craftsmen have
worked on this hard sandstone and
teft us a world’s heritage. We stand
amazed at their skill and patience.
They do not work like that in this,
our day.
But the humble craft of stone cuu
ting thrives, says a writer in the
Statesman, of Calcutta, wherever
stone quarries are found. The red
hills of Rajputana send masses of
stone to Agra, and these on the out-
skirts of the city are the factories of
the patient toilers who chip and cut
by hand. contriving grinding stones
and dishes and bowls with the same
instruments that cut the stones for
the Taj, and carved and fretted the
screen in that far-famed tomb and the
deserted palaces of the fort.

placed in operation.
The transit company’s service
would begin in Philadelphia and ex-
tend to the Ohio State line at a point
near East Palestine. The cities and
towns along the proposed route are
Paoli, Downingtown, Lancaster, Har-
risburg, Lewistown, Hollidaysburg,
and Beaver Falls and other interme-
diate points. Some of the busses
would deviate from this route at Hun-
tingdon and go to Tyrone and Altoona
and thence back to the main route at
Ebensburg.
The southern line, as proposed by
Stackhouse, presenteing his petition
as an individual because Franklin
county was not included in the char-
ter recently granted by Governor
Fisher permitting the bus subsidiary
to operate in 55 counties, originates in
Philadelphia also. It follows the oth-
er route to Lancaster, where it
branches off to York, Gettysburg,
Chambersburg, Bedford, Greensburg,
Pittsburgh, and Beaver Falls and
thence to the Ohio boundary line.
Other busses would go to towns
south of Gettysburg, visiting Em-
mittsburg, Waynesboro, Green Castle,
Mercersburg and thence to McCon-
nellsburg,where they would continue
along the main southern line.

Left Gentility in a Safe
Emma Calve, prima donna of Car-
men fame, tells this story against
herself in her memoirs, “My Life”:
“lI once had an English maid. She
was a thoroughly good girl, truthful,
ionest, obliging, but lacked tact. One
day, when on a long train journey,
she noticed that a rope of pearls I
usually wore were missing, and panie
seizing her, exclaimed:
“‘Oh, madam, where are your
! pearls?
Bird Dog’s Delicacy of Scent Re-
markable.
The delicacy of a dog’s nose—his
ability to sift and define scents of
infinite kinds—to locate birds for the
gunner, or follow faint trails of
game, is one of nature’s most amaz- |
hE, jraley.
igh up in the list of delicate dog
noses are those possessed by the
“bird dogs”—the setter and pointer.
A pointer, from one whiff of the
trail of a quail, can tell many things
about that particular bird, no matter
how many chickens, ducks and geese
have crossed his path.
He knows,
“At home in the safe, I told her,
adding that I never wore them when
traveling.
“*0Oh, what a pity!" she said. ‘They
make you look like a real lady.”
At Last!
The two old maids had lived togeth-
er in apparent harmony for more than
forty years, when one, having reached
her ninety-eighth birthday, died.
A relative who undertook to break
che painful news to the surviving sis-
ter was afraid the shock would prove
fatal, but it had to be done sooner or
later,
However, it turned out that her
fears were groundless.
“Ah, well,” replied the sister, who
wag only eighty-nine, brightly, “now I
suppose I shall be allowed to have my
tea made just as I like it.”
The Hustlers
An American way airing his views
on the country as he saw it.
“There’s nothing bpiuch the matter
with this little island,” he began. “All
you want is a little more hustle.”
At that moment there was a clam-
oring noise, and a fire-engine flashed
! round the corner.
for instance, whether
it is alone or with many other quail.
There is good evidence that he notes |
a difference between the body-scent
and the foot-scent of the birds,
because with only a breath of breeze
in his favor, he can locate in the
brush, many paces from him, an un-
seen quail that has walked or flown
into cover windward of him. More- |
over, if he strikes the trail of a walk-
ing bird, he knows which way it is
moving and never makes the mistake
of taking its back track.
His nose tells him, at a distance,
whether his master has merely
wounded or killed the bird outright. |
If the latter, he goes forward with-
out hesitation and retrieves the quail.
If wounded, he continues to point
rigidly or advances at command un-
til the bird again goes up—if it can.
“What’s that?” gasped the visitor.
His friend smiled.
“Oh,” he replied coolly, “that’s only
the district window-cleaning company
working overtime.”—London Answers.
Planting in Memory
The memorial tree idea that has
teen taken up throughout the country
puder the leadership of the American
Tree association lends itself admira-
bly to the Road of Remembrance plan.
This should be kept in mind by every
tree planter, for if the tree is a me-
merial tree or the road is a road of
remembrance the planting must be of
stich character that those for whom
: the trees are planted would be proud
of the new beauty given to the world,
Marriage at 30 is Safest, Says French
Writer.
Marriage is not for the very young,
Josordng to Eugene Brieux, well-
known French dramatist whose plays
have caused no little stir in several
countries.
“Before the war,” says Monsieur
Brieus , in “Lejournal,” “the general
reply to the question—is it wise to
marry young ?—would have been a
very decided negative.
“Not because it is folly to take on
the burden of a family and household
before establishing a good situation.
Today, too many youths are marrying
young. Many of them have not yet
found their vocation, are still flound-
ering from job to job.
The war taught them risks and un-
certainty and the moment they fall
in love, they go off to the registry-
office. Life is short, they say, so let’s
go and have the biggest time possible.
They run to the altar with the idea
that marriage is only a little passage
way from which one may easily pass
by way of the divorce door.
“And June-bug unions mean ‘free
love’ in plain terms. It is the worst!
of all in which the women are the
worst sufferers. Cut off from all re-
lationships, they are held together
by a thin little band of love which
breaks in a short time.
“Home-life becomes a succession of
bickerings and petty quarrels. A
child would be a catastrophe for many
reasons. There is absolutely no fu-
ture for either party. Now and again
one of these unions turns out to be
a happy one, but that is once in a
thousand.
“Don’t gamble with marriage be-
fore the age of thirty,” advises Mon-
sieur Brieux, “and keep away from
‘free love’ at all ages.

Solution of Last Week’s Puzzle.
Who Compose The Army of Savings
Bank Depositors?
I it those who do not pay their bills?
Those who buy things they do not need?
Those who mortgage future earnings for un-
necessary purchases?
We think not.
Rather those who are mindful of the future.
Who prepare now, for thel inevitable hour
when their earning power will end.
Who are willing to forgo present enjoyment
for future comfort.
Who know that there are many accidents in
life that can only be relieved by money.
It is the prudent saver, not the reckless
spender who keeps business going.
