ASKS PROTECTION FOR GAME

Hawaiian Fish and Game Association
Asserts That Condition orrthe
Islands Are Bad.
The latest application received by
the American Game Protective associa
tion for club membership comes from
Hawaii. The , Hawaiian Fish and
Game association has been formed by
a handful of the sportsmen in the
territory who have realized that un
less they take drastic steps the game
on the islands will soon be exter
minated, y
Bruce Cartwright, secretary of the
Hawaiian association, writes that for
merly the islands were alive with
game, but due to poor law enforcement
and the lack of adequate protective
measures the condition is now serious.
The greater part of the population
are Orientals, and to teach them that
game must be protected will prove a
laborious task, he says.
The Chinese dove, Mongolian pheas-'
ant and California quail are the most
common upland game birds, although
formerly peacocks, turkeys and wild
chickens were plentiful. Golden
plover are very numerous during
migration.' Ducks and other shore
birds also visit the Islands.
The game animals in Hawaii con
slct of goats, sheep and deer. The
theory has been advanced and found
the ear of the lawmakers on the is
lands that deer are detrimental to
forests. It is asserted that they de
stroy forests by eating the protective
covering from the roots of the trees.

COMMUTER HAS GREAT IDEA
Warms His Hat Before Putting ltxOn
When the Morning Is of the
Chilly Order.
The commuter was shivering. An icy
blast had chilled him through when he
got out of bed to close the window
and, although he was about to seat
himself at the breakfast table, his
teeth chattered at the thought of the
cold walk he must take to get the
8:10.
Suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.
He dashed into the hall, rescued a soft
hat from the hat rack and, slipping in
to the living room, turned on the elec
tric lamp and dropped his hat over it.
His better half, who had been re
garding him with amazement, but who
had been married long enough to know
not to ask questions in the middle of
her husband's brilliant schemes,
stepped to the door of the living room
and smiled.
"Come on, dear," she pleaded;
"you're late now and I've got the love
liest muffins."
"Fine," was the response. "Suppose
you wonder what's the big idea. Well,
you know, when a man Is cold he puts
on his hat. I've Improved on that. Got
my hat on the lamp warming. The
leather band Inside is always so cold
these mornings."
