These changes are necessary for our state to qualify to participate in the distribution of federal funds for wildlife restoration projects. j The congress has enacted a bill pro-, viding for the distribution to the sev-j eral states of about three million dollars collected as an excise tax on arms and ammunitions. The allotment of the money is based upon number qf hunting licenses sold by the state, and upon the area of the state in square miles. Forty-six cents for each of South Carolina's thirty and a half thousand square miles; and twentythree cents for each hunting license sold, will bring to the state approximately 145,000 annually. The federal bill provides that each state must use all of the sportsmen's dollars for game and Iflsh purposes. As the state game fund comes from the hunters and fishermen themselves, it is logical that there should be a law to "Include the prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by the hunter." Our present South Carolina law does not allow us to qualify for this $4"),000. The purpose of tho bill this department has Introduced, and which has the endorsement of tho organized sportsmen of the state is to put our htale in line to receive the full meaa111 of uid to its wildlife which the : ral government is offering. If we ?! !. i qualify to deceive this fund, some other state will get our share. The provisions of the proposed measure are as follows: Section 1. The State of South OaioUna hereby assents to the provisions of the act of Congress entitled "An Act to Provide that the United States shall aid the 8tates in Wildlife Restoration Projects, and for other purposes," approved September 8, 1937 (Public No. 415, 75th Congress), and the South Carolina Oame and Fish Department Is hereby authorised, empowered, and directed to perform suoh acts as may be necessary to the conduct and establishment of cooperative wildlife restoration projects, as defined in said act of Congress, In compliance with said act and with rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture thereunder; and no funds accruing to the State of South Carolina from license fees paid by hunters shall be diverted for any other purpose than the administration of the South Carolina Qame and Fish department. Section 2. All Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act are heretai repealed. Section 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval by the governor. k:> All sportsmen are invited to study this bill and fuinlliarize> themselves with the federal ~hrw?*-'wnfh-urge their county delegations to act fu^rabiy upon the state bill, that we shall not lose this fund, but in behalf of wildlife restoration receive $45,000 of new money each year.

SOJOURNING IN OLD MEXICO (Spasm No. 1) Yi family of 8. including me, de ! ! >i a few weeks ago that we should rid the Holidays in old Mexico. I <!M very. little of the deciding. All I had "to do was to raise the money for the trip; that's why ll sold my till hales of cotton for 8 cents per pound. We packed up the night before < i.i istmas. Everything that the backc.ui of a 1937-model Ford would hold was "squezzed" In. We carried along coats and overcoats we didn't need. We took heavy underwear with us that we did not even unwrap. We nigged a 1-gallon Thermos Jug a distance of 6,200 miles and did not drink but 3 sips of ice water out of it. The first 3 days were spent between our home and Uvalde, Tex. That's the home of Unole John Garner, our vice-president; guess some of you have heard of him. Half of our time was used up In buying gasoline and having our wlndBhleld wiped, and the other half was wasted in hitting the highways here and there. We saw 2 . speed cops enroutet both of 'em were playing checkers at country stores. j -We used pretty close to the best 1 hotels, cafes, cafeterias and drug stores for food and rtfff ^Wrements on the way outs we thought we had ^ plenty money, but' that <stuff melts , worser'n butter la August We passed thru one or two towns ta 6 or~indifferent states that looked nearly half i a* good as our own hometown. We i entered "furrin country" on the morn- . lug of the fourth tiny. j ..We bought all necessary pa porn f r lourist travel at the border. Got ourselves fully looked over, into, and inspected. They didn't seem td care very much what we took into Mexico; but after giving us the onctf-over, we suspect they decided that we didn't have anything worth smuggling either in or out. lint to be on the safe side, we slipped our gold bridge-work back into our mouth while crossing the bridge. Didn't want to lose our masticators a-tall. ..Everybody was nice and pleasant and agreeable. We never understood a word those Mexicans were saying. One x>f them said, "Si, Senor." I said: "Sigh yourself; I aint sleepy." After all of them got thru reading our various and sundry bills of lading, autoownership documents, and identification slips, they up and asked me: "Ib your car fully paid for?(that's when you spoke American); George Washington like, I couldn't tell a lie, so I said: Yes slr-ree. And then we moved away. SOJOURNING IN OLD MEXICO (8pa?m No. 2) ..Nobody has ever been able to decide what the land is fit for, for the flrat 75 miles south of Neuvo Laredo,. Mexico. There are a few mesqulte bushes, plenty sand, a few adobe hnts, and\ a gother hole every now and then. ' Automobiles are rather scarce in. .that neighborhood. We met 18 cars during the first, one hundred ihlles traveled, and only 5 of those were branded Mexico. M . .About noon we ran into some pretty iood looking terrltobr- If there, were is many cows, billy and nanny goats, lack-asses, donkeys, and sheep back " . | J^^^htT'wooda' auil, "bushes anthers 1 were grailuK lu the middle of the highway on the pavement, and on i both aides of the road, Mexico must Indeed be a great livestock couutry Hut somebody told us that nearly all of the animals did their nibbling on or between the road shoulders. ..We didn't kill even a calf, but tendered a few of theiu to one side. They ull take a notion to moss the road when u cur sola iu sight of them. That's why no speed Uinlts exist In that country; nature lakes care of your unlawful speediness down there. A 200-pound yearling*, can wreck a 3,000-pound car. We saw a few de ceased carcasses awaiting the arrival of Mr. Bustard every day. ..Just off-hand, having forgotten all 1 ever knew about geography, 1 never expected to find Mexico a couutry so mountainous. The Hochles haven't got much on their appendix, the Sierra Madre mountains. Hnroute to Mexico City, we went from near sea level to an elevation of 8,600 feet. I am not telling this to the hundreds of folks who visit that country every year; It's merely mentioned for the benefit of my Uncle Josh aud Aunt Mandy who alnt never been nowhere. ..Mexico, in fact, has three zones of altitude, via: tierra callente thot land), tierra templada (temperate land), and tierra frto (cold land). We visited all three of these areas In a single day, thanks to good reads and a fairly good installment plan which makes 75 or 80 when the law alnt looking. Mexico City has a winter climate something like our October, but it gets very cool, if not cold at night, but warms up early In the day. ..1 didn't try to speak any Spanish or try to pronounce any of those Mexican names after I warped my mouth making "Tamzunchale" spell "Thomas & Charley." Some American told us we could find accommodation at "Vy*es." So we went to "Valles" and found out that that was the place he was talking about, and sure enough we got all that we were expecting for less money than we would have to pay for something about half so nice in the states^ SOJOURNING IN OLD MEXICO (Spasm No. 3) ( ..On leaving the American border, we bought $360.00 (Mexican pesos) for one hundred good old L\ S. 59ceut dollars, so-called by the folk* who arc so rich they alnt interested: In buying anything exc ept gold. In | j.tl.*..- wm-flv. Ill*' prevailing exchange rate is $3.60. (By the way, we round last Christmas that Cuban dollars aud A mere Ian dollars have the same value, and one is as good as the other in Cuba, but not over here.) ..We stopped at a first-class hotel for $12.00 (pesos) per day, or $3.60 U. S money. We had a nice, large room, 1-sln.gle and 1 double bed,, bath, circulating ice-water.. automatic elevator, and everything else It takes to make a person feel away from The service there was ^11 that could be desired. An excellent meal could be had Tor 40 cents. It looks like Mexico is going after the tourist trade, and "their fine roads and their courteous treatment, as well as their reasonable prices, will get plenty of it in the near future. ..We got In too late to see the bull fight. Well, being- in fairly-good standing In our church, we aint so suVe that we would have gone to a bull fight on the Sabbath day, btft, anyway, we got In too late for It. But they commence to fight the poor bulls too early in the afternoons anyhow. They killed only 6 bulls that day, but lot of bull was shot after the performance, but no damage was done. .. A big up-to-the-minute SpanishMexlftfkn carnival started the nlghi of our arrival. They were showing right In the middle of a wide, populous street; in fact,. In the heart ofi town, and covered a great deal of territory. If you wanted to ride down that street, you simply had to go around; the carnival was on. Every hind of food In the world not fit to eat was evidently being served there, and the odors, which were sweet Incense to the Mexican folk, were sanitary wagon to us furrlners. Every kind of show and every kind of riding device extant was right there doing business. , .The night club that the folks forced (7) me to visit one morning (about 1:30) was Indeed a night club.never did find out the name of the stuff that we drank, but it looked klnda frosty, and sounded like "Zachery." We heard sqhgs> saw dances, inhaled a great deal of entertainment and pleasure, but nearly all of the gfrtgfctf on An excess of clothes.

Anders Tells Of His Kidnap And Murder St. Paul, Jan. at- An amusing story of kldmtpings, slayingH ?^iul bank .robberies attributed to BoW Anders, s.trly. swarthy former lumborjuek,1 was related today after recovery of the bodies of ('barbs S Ross, ubducl*^; ed Chicago manufacturer, and James Alwood flray, from a cave deep in the northern Wisconsin woods. Whisking Anders back to St. Paul after a tortuous two-day foray Into i the fastnesses of Minnesota ami \V>s-| cousin, J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, said virtually all or the $50,000 ransom paid in vain for ltoss' release has been recovered. The 30-yuar old oue time logger in tbe Pacific northwest detailed each of numerous crimes In a confession covering thousands of words, said Hoover, adding that Anders had slain his accomplice, Gray, during' an argument. The FBI chier said Anders had confessed kidnaping John Borcla and hia wife, Alivia, of Chicago, and robbing one Miuueaota and three Wisconsin banks. The Borclas were released without payment of ransom. When arrested Friday at Santa Anita racetrack near Los Angeles, Anders possessed about $14,000 of the ransom money. Hoover said. An additional $30,000 was found hidden in Minnesota. Anders suiu $3,uou or tne balance was stolen from hit) car in New York City. The bodies of Ross and Gray, the latter nude, were found Just before dark yesterday In a small, brush concealed cave in a desolate section about 12 miles northweBt of Spooner, Wis. Hoover said the / Killer slew Gray first and then shot the 72-year old kidnap victim. Anders chained the bodies in the vault-like burial place and then covered them with brush and debris, said the federal chief. Hoover said the prisoner led federal agents to a dugout where Rosa was confined immediately after his kidikAplng September 25 and then to a brush heap where $30,000 of ^he ransom money was found in a portable typewriter case. Anders was returned to the FBI headquarters here early today, handcuffed to an agent and chained about the waist and shoulder Anders' confession as given by the. federal bureau^ of investigation chief j related how ltoss was brought to tin; Minnesota hideout Immediately after j the kidnaping. Hoover said this den | was located near a lonely side n-'.ul , u few miles north of Emily which is in the center of the*Minnesota ro.-ort area. The pl#4n> was described as a shnl-j low wood frame dugout, Implanted level with the earth, ,about six feet deep, six feet wide and ten feet long. Hoover said the aged Ross, who was snatched away from his secretary, Miss Fk>rettce*Freihage, while driving near Chicago, was kept manacled In the unbeated dungeon for about ten days. Indications were that the wealthy Chlcagoan had undergone great suffering during "bis Imprisonment both from the cold and from scant rations. While the abductors operated out of this region Inhabited only by a few trappers, the ransom was paid. Then, said Hoover, there was a dispute over the Bharing of the loot. "Anders and Gray clashed," said the FBI chief, "and Anders knocked Gray down and then shot him through the head. Apparently Ross attempted to intervene and also was knocked to the ground and while struggling there, was shot through the head and killed." ' Hoover said Anders then took Gray's $20,000 share of the $50,000 ransom, along with most of the accomplice's clothing, covered the bodlea with leaves and twigs and headed back Into Minnesota to hide his $30,000 share in the typewriter case. From there, declared Hoover, Anders began a tour of the country, Anally losing about $3,000 of cash when his car was raided while parked In a garage near the Holland tunnel In New York city. Pressed about reported attempts to link Anders with the Lindbergh baby kidnaping. Hoover said: "So far as we know there Is no such connection." The government of Turkey is Joining other nations in the arms race, and last week the cabinet approved a bill asking for $35,000,000 additional appropriation for rearmament. DEPTH OF HUMAN AOONY NOW PREVAILS IN CHINA . I Eye Witness Describes Unspeakable ' Suffering Going On In Shanghai. , . i I Japan's guns have moved away from 1 Shanghai and I he tumult and Ion or, of battle have died down, but a wari la still being fought in refugee ramps,! writes James A Mills, who Is on the ground us atuff writer for (he Chris 1 tian Science Monitor. I I It in the war ot u mutton nuiuans for existence There is neither glory nor glamour In their struggle. Only equator, hunger and desperation. They are more desperate in their quest of food than armed Holdlera stalking a military objective. When their homes wore pulverUed by Janaeae artillery fire and aerial bombs rained from the sky, a million and a half of these humble tollers and their families crawled out of the smoking debris and fled into the central part of the city. Some 600,000 of these managed afterward to drag themselves into the interior, on foot, by train, boat, wheelbarrow or ricksha. But a million are still homeless and hopeless In the dark alleys, damp cellars and packed refugee camps of Shanghai, which today is litWally a "city of sighs and tears." Fourteen thousand of these derelicts of humanity?men, women and children?terrorized by their war oxere?t into one ?#**?>?? ?*??? theatre. Too dased for thought or action, they still are there, because Japanese military regulations will not permit them to return, to their homes. Other thousands, half-naked and famished, mussed Into temple court yards, vacant lots, amusement arcades, stables and roofless, shattered buildings?any place that would shield them from the real or imagined dangers of war. With wintry winds lashing them, these victims of Japan's "Informal" war iti China huddle together like frightened sheep, each depending upon the warpith of another's body to keep from perishing. The largest camp of refugees war formed among the garish, tinsel-like fixtures of an amusement arcade. There are 6,000 of them jammed one against another there. Children sleep on shelves. Old women, too weak to stand, Me on stone floors. Whole families lie on counters. Infants are nsleep in potato baskets. An old farmer has spread a fragment of matting in the open Jaws of a stage? dragon, propping ills hack against fiery fangs. Old women scream over a r.vipfnl of mouldy rice. Lamentations for "Ilie'' dead, the dying and the lost are con-' tinuous. making the nights hideous. I Shanghai might be called a "city of rdrcadful night." I Some refugt^m housewives have a J few basins "antrpans salvaged from | ruins of their bombed homes. Soino |have a tattered blanket for this nightmare of Winter experience. But most )P these shivering, helpless humans have only the flimsy summer clothes they were wearing when they hrnt led from their homes. The refugees sleep In shifts, for few families have enough space in which to He down all at a time. A father stretches himself out for a time, while his family paces the crowded alleyways of the refugee camp. After an interval, the father relinquishes the coveted space to a weary grandmother or a. group of children. To have even a foothold on this earth, and to be able^d keep it, involves a constant struggle for these war victims. Beds being non-existent, 2,500 relu. gees sleep in coffins. The inmates consider themselves lucky. They have roofs over their heads and the coffins are dry. The haunting thought that they must end their dismal lives In, one of these boxes does not seem to disturb them, for they are too despondent to think of the present or ponder on the future. For more than 20 years I saw, as a correspondent of he Associated Press, massed migrations of refugees In a score of Buropean countries. In Asia, In Africa and the Fur East, with all their attend\m suffering, misery and privations. iBut nowherej have I seen so much suffering and sorrow, so much woe and wretchedness, as here In Shanghai. Babies are born in these refugee/ camps I literally every minute - and notherd die by the dozen every hour. The mothers leave this world without even a shroud on them, for the ?*hrouds are needed to clothe the liy I nS-._ Every form of human suffering may be seen in this vale of tears called Shanghai.
