New Laws Cut ^ r ' . ^ Hunting Season Bag Umit Now Includes Birds Killed by Persons Assisting the Hunters. AIRPLANE SHOOTING BIRRED Tendency to Tighten Restrictions on Hunting of Birds and Big Game I* Shown in Federal and State Laws for 1921. Washington.—A tendency to tighten tfce restrictions on the hunting of birds and big game Is noted In the game laws for 4921, a summary of whlth, both federal and state, has been compiled by the federal biological sur vey. Among the notable changes made during the present year was the amending of the migratory bird treaty act regulations with respect to bag limits. This amendment provides that the dally bag limit of any person shall now Include "all birds taken by any other person who for hire accompanies or assists him in taking migratory birds." This will put an end to the abuse of privileges under the regula tions regarding the prescribed daily bag limits by persons who claim that birds were killed by guides accom panying them. Waterfowl Season. , The federal waterfowl season for California was fixed from October 1 to January 15, replacing the old sea son of October 16 to January 81, the season now being the same under both federal and state laws. Regulation 9, governing the issuance of federal scientific permits, was amended to permit the issuance of limited and spe cial permits. State legislation harmonized federal and state laws on waterfowl and shore birds In Kansas and Oregon, and on waterfowl in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island ; Washington prescribed a state wide open season on all migratory game birds from October 1 to January 15, thus deviating from the federal regulations, which supersede the state law, east of the Cascade mountains, where it will now be possible to hunt migratory game birds only from Octo ber 1 to December 31, without violat ing either federal or state law ; in Idaho the open season on migratory gase birds has been shortened under state law two weeks by opening Octo ber 1, instead of September 16, and extending to December 31. Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne braska, Oregon and Washington enact ed legislation similar to the federal regulation prohibiting hunting from airplanes. Colorado reduced the bag limit on ducks from 20 to 15 a day. Wahutu Tribesmen Fine Dancers y lea. a" ihr yo. fiMlo 6y Wahutu tribesmen dancing at Nyanza on the shores of Lake Tanganika, Africa.

Bull moose were protected for five years in Maine. Seek Mystery of Cahokia Mound Prof. W. K. Moorehead to Open Illinois Relic of Prehistoric Inhabitants. WORK SIM ILAR TO T HE AZTECS Exploration May Develop Information ' of Surpassing Interest to Archae ologists—Greatest Structure of Kind in World. East St. Louis, 111.—Probing of the mysteries of the great Cahokia mound near this city has been begun by Prof. Warren K.

With a corps of experienced assistants lie will open Cahokia and the chain of 72 other mounds In Madison and St. Clair counties which furnish the most re markable memorials of North Amer ica. Exploration may develop infor mation of surpassing interest and value to archaeologists. Covering 16 acres, the Cahokia mound, which is 100 feet in height, is the greatest structure of Its kind in the world. It was supposedly a re ligious temple. Archaeologists esti mate that the settlement of the mound you "Oh, 1 merely forgot to tell about this one," said his wife. Surprise N'p. 3—Third child, also added starter, comes along to live with mother. Surprise No. 4—Fourth unheralded Infant adds itself to home circle. "How much of a family have I?" asked Meyer. Surprise No. 5—"There are two more," salcl the missus, and the family grew from the one listed child to seven. ' j Surprise No. 6—Meyer discovered that Mrs. Mauer had two other living husbands and then he decided to let the Supreme court pat an end to his family surprise party. "It is a case of fraud and misrepre sentation." he said in asking annul ment. , "Here I thought I was getting a widow with one child and I find that I got a woman with seven chil dren and two husbands." The word reverend occurs only once In the Old Testament. Mother Says Her Lot Justifies Profanity Arraigned on a charge of pro fanity, Mrs. Agnes White of Co lumbus, O., thirty-seven years old, and the mother of 14 chil dren, said: "Judge, anybody that had to live as hard a life as I do, wquid cuss." Mrs. White testified that she was forced* to take In washing and other work to support her self and her children. The judge dismissed her, after tell ing lier to go and curse no more. ^ Home Gardening Beats Golf. Detroit, Mich.—Thousands of De troiters who acquired the gardening habit during the war have continued the practice of making and tending patches qf vegetables and small fruits until It has become a hobby with a large proportion of men here. More Interest is being taken in gardening than in golf, baseball or other 'sports during the summer months, according to those who have made a study of the situation. builders numbered not less than 150, 000 Inhabitants at the height of its prosperity. At First Agriculturists. The size of the settlement site, as It can be imagined from the ruins, the agricultural type of much of the work in flint, such as the great spades and hoes almost peculiar to that vi cinity, and the rich alluvial bottom land combine to show tuat the Caho klans were probably at first agricul turists. They probably fished and hunt ed to some extent, but they, doubtless, depended for their subsistence upon their labor in the field and their sta ple food was unquestionably corn. It is believed that the appearance of the bison resulted in the abandon' ment of agriculture and the develop ment of the chase, with the result that tlie community became nomadic and gradually crumbled and dispersed to the four quarters of the continent. Believed to Have Come From Mexico. The preponderance of evidence so far discovered Is that the people of Cahokia were worshipers of the sun. There is so much about Cahokia that Is similar to the works of the Aztecs that the conviction Is forced upon the student that It was from Mexico that these people came to the Mississippi valley, bringing their religion, their priesthood, their corn, their mode of life and their, middle order of primi tive civilization. Even if the exploration of the Caho kia mound is not followed by any im portant discoveries, it is certain that the control by the state will be given greater momentum when the people of Illinois are brought to a realization of Its archaeological value. Up to the present time the Cahokia and other table-like turmull In the group have not been explored much more deeply than the plow and spade can work.

"Stirring times in our neighbor hood last night." "What happened?" "The Blitherbys played jazz records until after midnight, so Mr. Grump 3on rose from his bed and began to sing, by way of starting a little com petition." "I suppose the Blitherbys took the hint?" "No, indeed. They sent for an am bulance." A young man seldom believes that a girl enjoys a kiss unless he has It from her own lips. Wisdom is always known by the company it keeps out of. Do you discriminate at the dintng table—or are you thoughtless? In thousandsof homes, a "line" is drawn at the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for "grown-ups" and Postum for children. But some parents do not discrimin ate. Caffeine and tannin, the injurious contents of coffee and tea, seriously retard the development of the delicate nerve tissues in children. Consequently, instead of rich, satisfying Postum, children are over stimu* lated by the drugs in tea and coffee; and so may grow up irritable and nervous. Any doctor can tell you that this is a great evil and should be corrected. Although some par ents feel a certain justifi cation for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet the harm to them may be equally serious. It may take a little while longer for the drugs in coffee and tea to affect an older person, but In many cases the nervous system and allied bodily functions will become weakened. The surest way to avoid such pos sibilities is to quit coffee entirely and drink Postum instead. The change per« mits you to get sound, restful sleep. Postum is the well known, meal-time bever age. Like thousands of others you will like it be cause, in flavor, it is much like a high-grade coffee. Do away with the dis tinction at the table. Serve delicious Postum, piping hot, to all the fam ily. One week's trial and it is likely that you'll never return to tea and coffee. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in dns) mads instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cersal (in packages of larger bulk, for those v«ho pre fer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.
