S.C.GA ME^FlSH ASSOCIATION 7?rti Siatewkle Goperalion Ga*te, jggpi ftofoaaafr[ag%) An amendment to our constitution was carried in the recent general election authorizing the legislature to divide the state into severs 1 game arul fish zones. Our Association is asking the legislature to ratify this amendment, and is preparing a bill dividing the state into three zones, viz: Coastal, Central and Piedmont, and ulso suggesting suitable laws for each zone commensurate with the game and fish supply of each particular zone. Certain sections of the state, where quail have been greatly reduced, desire n much shorter season and smaller daily bag limit. If this is their desire, they are entitled to it, but not at tin- expense of other sections of the state where quail are still plentiful. and on the increases. The same j holds true for many species of game fish. This situation is especially true as between the Piedmont ami the Low Country, where climatic conditions and types of food and cover differ greatly. The Piedmont .should have game and fish laws that are peculiarly suited to their species of fish and game, anid to local conditions. The Low Country is entitled to the same consideration. The central section of the state naturally has game and fish coniditions which are somewhat' different from either the Piedmont or the I/ow Country, and this section in turn is entitled to laws and regulations that are particularly suited for the conditions found in this middle section of South Carolina. Under our present laws' this is practically inVposBibls, as under our state constitution (before the amendment was passed) all game and flsh laws must be of a statewide nature. It is true that the constitution permitted not more than seventeen counties to exempt themselves from the provisions of any statewide laws, but, lather than help the situation, this provision made matters worse. With some counties exempting themselves from all statewide game and fish laws, our opene and closed seasons, bag limits, etc., resemble a patch-I work quilt. However, dividing the state into game and fish zones will correct this situation, and will give to each section of the state game land fish laws lhat are suitable, and [acceptable t^lTRe^itzens within each Motion, or zone. To obtain this proper new legislation it is going to be necessary for all sections, and for all counties to pull together in getting the' proper laws through for each particular section. If the Piedmont wants certain laws and regulations, the Low Country and Central Section should work with them to get these laws and regulations. and the Piedmont and Centra! Sections should in turn assist the Low Country in getting the laws that they want. This Association needs the cooperation and assistance of all hunters and fishermen in securing this legislation. Finland Alone Pays War Debt Washington, Dec. 15.?Little Estonia failed today to give the United States even a "no," much less the $ 1,84:1,185 due. Other European debtor nations? save Finland?also failed to pay hut they delivered notes at the s'ete department in reply to this country's "please remit." State department officials had no explanation for Estonia's failure to acknowledge the American note. It was assumed, however, that Charles Kuusik, acting consul general for Estonia in New York City, might have dropped his government's answer into the mail. In that case it will be delivered to the state department Monday morning. Finland today turned over her check for $228,5118 to the fodcrni reserve bank in New York. This was the only cash collected.

Kansas city.?On a burned aud blackened volcanic inland that rises precipitously from the sea nearly (100 tulles went of the Houth Atuerican republic of Kucador in gathered an astonishing assortment of queer htiinuu beluga, nay a the Kansas City Timet. An account of the llve? of these perBoiiB on lonely Charles island furnishes an Incredible, almost unbelievable story. Weird stories of strange happenings on the bleak, lava-Strewn bit of land that once waq a convict settlement have been filtering into civilized haunts of man. Captains and crews of small trading vessels which put In at the Island have told outlandish yarns of the Inhabitants and their modes of living. So disturbing were the accounts that the government of Ecuador sent officials to the isolated point of land to Investigate. The Inhabitants of tbe island were questioned and their methods of living were Inquired Into. Then an oltlclgl report of the Investigation was filed with the Ecuudorean govern ment and authentic Information about the Island was made avuiluble. And, surprising thing, the report substantiates the fantastic accounts that have been coming from the Island I Cast of Charaoters. This burren, Jugged, rocky Island whose shores fire washed by the equatorial waters of the Pacific has nine Inhabitants. The cast of characters: Frederlch Hitter, of Berlin, eminent German physician, dentist and philosopher, who left a brilliant career in Germany to seek a modern Eden on the Pacific Island. Ills mate, Frau Dore Strauch Koerweln, who went to the Island with him from her German home. She and Hitter forsook civilization to live a life of peace, which, they charged, modern civilization denied them. RuronoHR Housequet de Wagner, ^f Vienna, who went to the Island after Hitter and his helpmate. Soon after her arrival she sot herself up as "empress" of the Isle and governs her "kingdom" clad usually only In abbre- ; viated pink silk panties and armed with a .22-callber pistol. Phlllpson, Alon/.o and Arends, men companions of the "empress" who | came to the Island with her. ! A German couple, names unknown, I and their infant Hjild, born soon after I their arrival on the desert island. Hitter and Fran Ivocrwlen were the tirst Inhabitants of the isle. They landed there with a pick and shovel and a hag of seeds and perhaps a score of hooks, among them a volume Of l.no tse, the ancient Chinese mystic. Hitter refused an oiler of a professorship nt Freiburg, and left behind a brilliant career as an experimenter in nutrition when he left Germany seeking a lonely spot to "live his own life." He and Ids woman companion landed j on the Island In 192!) and have lived there since. Will Not Touch Meat. They are vegetarians and will not touch the fish, turtle eggs, wild pig, birds, wild goats, or other meat which Is abundant on the Island, Fruits, vegetables, nuts and occasionally a little chicken forms their only food. Everything they partake Is mashed Into n pulp before it enters their mouths. A dentist, Hitter, has extracted all his teeth and those of Frau Koerweln. It is one of the theories that teeth are a cause of shortened lives. With their teeth out, he believes he and his companion may attain nges of at least one hundred and eight years. However, to assist them in their mastication, he has made sets of rubber teeth which they slip into their mouths at meal times. The two food enthusiasts live either in a one-room shack built of rough timber or In a faded tent near a spring. 'I heir homes are remote nnd accessible only by climbing a siony path which winds up a steep, mountainous way. At the foot of the path is a bell with a sign Instructing chance visitors to ring it before they approach "The Hermitage," which Is the title they have given their home. The signal is to warn the two exiles, as, when they nro alone they wear no clothing. It is only when visitors appear?which happens on the average of from six to eighteen months?that they don a bit of covering. At other times they go absolutely naked. More Work for Turks in Turkey Banks Demanded Istanbul.?Turkish employees In foreign banks and business houses have formed a union, with the object of securing the dismissal of all non-Turkish employees except specialists. It is claimed that out of 507 employees In foreign banks In Turkey only 07 are true Turks, nnd these receive only 11 per cent of the wages paid. The union will ask for the Insertion of a clause In the new labor law requiring better pay and conditions for Turks In the service of foreign houses. Shakespearean English Likened to Irish Brogue Boston.?Prof. Matthew It.

Salt Lake Near Saturation iLaat fall saw "Great Salt Lake in Utah at a new all-time low 'level, (it has no outlet and loses its water only by evaporation which process leaves all mineral behind) its salt content la higher than ever before. If you were to dip up a bucket of the water and boil it unti) all the moisture were gone you would have over.a fourth of a bucket salt left. It is now almost saturated and will soon begin to drop its mineral as a precipitate. \ Scientists tell us that Great Salt lake with its 2,000 equaire miles is all that is left of a lake with an area of 10,000 square miles. If things continue in their present course it is inevitable thai some day the lake will completely disappear. If you are interested in knowing something ' of whet It will be like then you have only to look at Death Valley, its older brother in California.
