Business in Postal Saving Sys tem Triples That of Last Year New Records in borough post office business were established during the year just closed, according to figures submitted for publication by Postmas ter Cusack to-day. Figures in each department surpassed those of pre vious years. About $46,000 was deposited to the credit of postal saving system deposi tors. This department made unpre cedented strides over those of last year. Only $15,000 was put on deposit in this department last year. Much of this business is due to foreigners. Postmaster Cusack stated to-day that the foreigners would much sooner put •their money on interest with the gov ernment at 2 per cent, where they know it is in safe keeping, than in a bank for more profits where they are not so sure what will become of it. The postal funds, realized from the sale of post cards, stamps, etc., this year amounted to $23,000, a gain of about $2,000 over that of last year. The money order business netted about $200,000. This department was on a par with the business of last year. On account of the foreign busi ness in this department being closed many of the foreigners in this country are unable to send their money to their native lands, as was their custom prior to the war.

During the afternoon other pro visions of the code will bo discussed. Shorter seasons for small game anel a smaller bag limit will be recom mended by the State Game Commission In a codified game bill to be presented to the Legislature. The proposed changes were dis cussed last night and yesterday after noon at a conference called by the State Game Commission which was attended by sportsmen from all over the state. Sessions held in the cfcucus room of the House of Representatives were presided over by William B. McCaleb, of this city, a member of the Game Commission. Copies of the proposed new law were sent out some time ago by the Game Commission with a request for suggestions for changes. Many sports men disagreed with parts of the new bill. Some suggestions were Inserted. Other changes offered yesterday brought a lively fight between the rep resentatives of the organized state sportsmen's bodies and the Independ ent game association members. Truce was declared when a reso lution was offered and adopted to refer all amendments to a legislative com mittee representing all bodies present. Subsequently, with Dr. Joseph Kalb fus, secretary of the State Game Com mission, presiding, this committee met In the ottlce of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Adopt Recommendations At the opening ot the session last night the legislative committee re ported the following, which were adopted. Open season for pheasants, quail, woodcock, ring-necked pheasants, Hungarian quail, gray, black and fox squirrel, from October 15 to Novem ber 25. The original bill made the late date November 30. but It was ar gued that bird hunters would remain in the woods on November 30 with their dogs and get after the deer at once on December 1. and an interval of five days was decided upon. Wild rabbit and wild hare, Novem ber 1 to December 31. Wild turkey, November 10 to No vember 25. Squirrels, October 15 to Novem ber 25. Bears, October 15 to December 15. Upland plover, August 1 to Novem ber 26. Shore birds, excepting woodcock, September 1 to January 1. The raccoon and blackbird were de clared on the black list and will not be protected. Jack snipe, September 1 to Novem ber 25. Wild water fowl, September 1 to December 15. In connection with this it was de cided by resolution to request the Bio logical Survey at Washington to make the Pennsylvania open season for wild fowl as suggested and put Pennsylva nia In a class with neighboring states. Bug Limits Decrease Lengthy discussions followed amend ments to lessen the bag limits and permit only a dally and season limit. Some sportsmen wanted an increase, arguing that reports from hunters last season showed that only 10 per cent, of the game in the state was killed. The following recommendatious were agreed to: Daily limit —Four ruffed grouse, eight Virginia partridges, one wild tur key, ten woodcock, four ring-necked pheasants, four Hungarian quail, one bear, six squirrels, eight wild ral>bits and three hare. Season limit One wild turkey, twenty ruffed grouse, twenty-five Vir ginia partridges, commonly called quail, twenty woodcock, ten ring necked pheasants, ten Hungarian quail, one bear, twenty combined kinds of squirrels, forty wild rabbits, fifteen hare, one deer. Amendments were made to the deer section providing that when venison is found in possession of hunters they must swear that it was legally killed, and that when a buck deer Is killed it must be tagged with the name of the hunter who killed it. which is to pre vent the crack shots from killing more than one deer and doing the killing for the entire camping party. The recommendation of the Game Commission, which met to-day, that the killing of elk in Pennsylvania be punishable by the imposition of a SSOO fine and 6ix months in jail was fully discussed and then referred back to the commission with the request that it obtain a legal opinion on the ques tion. Other Recommendations The new bill will also include recom mendations prohibiting Sunday shoot ing, providing for the confiscation of property of hunters convicted of game law violations, requiring a full and complete report of birds killed for scientific purposes under a license, making It compulsory for a certificate from the Department of Agriculture before game from other states is brought to Pennsylvania for propa gation purposes and permitting the killing of hawks and owls. A resolution presented by Repre sentative Joseph Phillips, of Clearfield, and passed recommends to the Legis lature the purchase of the Cook tract of pine timber land in Jefferson and Indiana counties. It is said to be the only original pine tract in Pennsyl vania. At the opening of the session yes terday afternoon William B. McCaleb, of the State Game Commission, who presided, called attention to the large amount of cash in the State Treasury received from hunters' licenses. He said, in part: "It Is the duty of the commissioners to see that this fund is not appro priated for any other purposes except for the propagation of game or ad vancing Interest of sportsmen In Penn sylvania. As sportsmen you have earned your right to say how this money must be used. I warn you to keep a close watch and take a hand In the enactment of such laws as will advance your interests as hunters and give the Game Commission what they need for the protection and pro pagation of game," Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh wel comed the sportsmen and expressed his belief that the meeting would ac complish a whole lot of good. Ho voiced the sentiments of Mr. McCaleb and said in part: "There Is much interest in hunt ing, and Pennsylvania with its limit less forests should be a great hunting ground. The large fund received from hunters, which is used for bounties on noxious animals and the replacing of wild life In our woods, has resulted in a renewed Interest in life in the open." Replenish Forests The Governor advocated the re forestation of the barren lands in the 1,200,000 acres of State forests and said thene should be some way by which the diversity of altitude of the northern tier counties should not work to th# disadvantage of those hunters "Vaporize 99 Croup or Cold Troubles Tapo* treatments tor eold troubles arc better than internal medieinm, as tlie ya- Coarnr the medication direct to the * and air passages without disturbing the stomach.
