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

States even a "no," much less the
$ 1,84:1,185 due.

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.

CHARLES ISLE HOME
OF STRANGE EXILES
Story of Tbeir Lives I? AImoit
Unbelievable.
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. Copl
thorne of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology says the pronunciation of
English In the time of Shakespeare
probably sounded like the brogue of an
Irishman.
He considers American pronuueia
tion preferable to that of tbe average
present-day Englishman, who says "fig
ger" for ftgUro and "leftenant" tot

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. At one time
Death Valley was the concentration
