GAME CODE IS
READY TO SIGN
Most Complete Law Ever
Adopted; Has Widespread
Endorsement
Pennsylvania's new game code is
row before the Governor. As it was
finally passed the new code is the
best and most complete game law
e\er adopted for the Commonwealth.
It comprises within the one act all
the important and essential points of
Mmo 15 separate game laws that
foamerly ornamented the statute
books of the State, and sets forth
completely the methods which shall
bo used, the legal seasons, the bag
limits, the restrictions on transpor
tation and sale of game and all other
points of interest to the hunter.
The amendments restricting the
bag limits and preventing the sale of
feathers and the killing of game
birds in December were put in by
the Senate at the insistence of the
organized sportsmen under the lead
ership of the Wild Life League of
Pennsylvania, as were also other
protective features.
The new game code fixes the open
seasons for game as follows:
Woodcock, quail, ruffed grouse,
ring-neck pheasant, Hungarian quail,
gray, black, red and fox squirrels,
from October 20 to November 30.
Wild turkeys, November 15 to No
vember 30.
Rabbits and hares* November 1 to
December 15.
Bear, October 20 to December 15.
Deer, December 1 to Dece/nber 15.
Raccoon, September 1 to Decem
ber 31,
Upland or grass plover, August 1
to November 30.
Rails, coots, mudhens, jacksnipe,
blackbirds, and all shore birds except
woodcock, September 1 to November
30.
All varieties of wild waterfowl,
from September 15 to January 31.
Xiif bag limits are fixed in the bill
* ioUows:
Day Season
Limit. Limit.
Hi id turkey 1 1
Deer 1 1
(Which, in all cases,
must be a male deer
with horns not less
than two inches above
the hair.)
Ruffed grouse 4 24
Quail (Virginia part
ridge) S 25
Woodcock 10 20
liing-necked pheasants.. 4 10
Hungarian quail 4 10
Squirrels (of all varieties
combined) ti 20
Rabbits—cottontail .... 10 Ko
Hares 3 15
Bear 1 1
It will be noted that the new code
makes the red squirrel game, short
ens the season for squirrels and
game birds live days, lengthens the
raccoon season and changes its dates
and makes general reductions in the
bag limits except for rabbits, hares,
deer, bear and wild turkeys.
The provisions forbidding the own
ership or si*le of ferrets, except un
der license from the game commis
sion has been strengthened.
A camp limit of six deer has been
established.
Taxidermists are placed under ef
fective but reasonable control.
Game propagation is encouraged
by provisions for licensing propa
gating plants.

MILLIONS FOR
ST ATE COLLEGES
Liberal Appropriations Made
For Education; Important
Bill Ready For Action
The -total of the appropriation bills
reported late yesterday by the House
Appropriations Committee was $3,470,-
000, all for the higher educational In
stitutions of the State. This is an
increase of 11,095,000 over the amount
approved by the Governor two years
ago. The measures were read a first |
time in the House.
The list of Institutions with the ap
propriation recommended for the next
two years as compared with the
amount approved by the Governor in I
1915, follows: 1917 V 1915.
University of
Pittsburgh $750,000 $600,000
State College 1,500,000 900,000
University of
Pennsylvania .. 1,000,000 750,000
Temple University 200,000. 125,000
Duquesne Univer- -
sity 20,000
Totals $3,470,000 $2,375,000
The Duquesne University bill was
not on the list as the bill was put
through the House last week. Two
years ago an appropriation was
passed for this Pittsburgh college, and
the Governor vetoed the measure.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee reported the Albee bill requiring j
fishermen to take out a license and
the measure was passed a first time
in the House. It will go on the cal
endar as a revenue measure, it being
estimated the proposed law will raise
$250,000 a year. The revenues would
be used by the Department of Fish
eries. The State is now appropriating
about $150,000 a year to this depart
ment, which can be diverted to other
purposes if the Albee bill becomes a
law.
All resident females and children
under seventeen years of age would
Vie exempt from paying the dollar li
cense proposed by the Albee bill. Non
resident fishermen would pay $2.50 a
year. Property owners or tenants
would be exempt from the payment of I
a license, if they would fish in waters
running through their lands. The li
censes would be issued through the
county treasurers.

Car Men Oppose Women
Serving as Conductors
Boston, May 30. —The proposed
employment of women as conductors
on street cars in this city to fill the
places made vacant by men called
to the colors was opposed in resolu
tions announced by the Boston Street

"Organized labor," the resolutions
said, "would protect women against
| themselves, that their labor may not
! be exploited by the captains of ln
-1 dustry who. under the guise of pa
-1 triotism, hide their real motives and
! purposes, which seek to deny to those
'at present engaged in this occupation
; any serious collective effort to peti
tion for a little more in wages that
will enable them to maintain the
American standard of living.
"This kind of patriotism Is the
kind for the overthrow of which our
nation is to-day taking up arms."

addicts can be taken and cured un

The bill was introduced in the Sen
ate six weeks ago by Senator William
C. Sproul, of Delaware county, and
has been in the Senate Appropria
tions committee ever since.
Senator Clarence J. Buckman,
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee, to-day announced that the
bill will be reported out when the
General Assembly reconvenes next
Wednesday. It will carry the a impro
priation of about $50,000, which, Mr.
Buckman explained, is sufficient to
purchase the land for the home and
start construction. The condition
of the State's linances, and the bur-
den that the war is placing upon
them prevented a larger appropria
tion being granted.
The Legislature of 1913 passed a
bill to establish the home, and grant
ed an appropriation of $20,000 for
the expenses of a commission to
select a site and take the prelimin
ary steps. A large tract of farm
land in Cumberland county was
selected and an option obtained on
the land, it is still In force. The
Inst Legislature tailed to make an
appropriation, and nothing has been
done toward establishing the home
since 1913.
