MISTAKE TO CLASS ALL AS VER
MIN, DECLARES WASHINGTON
GOVERNMENT EXPERT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. (/P)—A
vigorous protest against classing all
fur bearing animals everywhere, und
er all conditions as “vermin” was
voiced at the recent convention of
state game commissioners by Frank
G. Aahbrook, in charge of Fur In
vestigations for the U. S. Bureau of
Biological Survey.
The value of the fur crop of this
country, said Mr. Ashbrook, has in
creased in 2 years from 2 million to
60 million dollars, yet the supply has
been greatly depleted. Had the sup
ply been maintained the present val
ue of the fur taken would be measur
ably greater than it is.
The status of fur bearing animals
in the opinion of Mr. Ashbrook, with
relation to other forms of wild ani
mal life, should be investigated fully
in each locality so that there might
not be unnecessary destrnction of
any valuable form.
Laws protecting fur bearers are of
comparatively recent origin in most
states, and many states even now
give ineffective protection or none
at all. The great curse of the fur
J business is the vast quantity of
worthless pelts, taken out of the pro
per season either illegally or with
the sanction of law.
Mr. Ashbrook points out that |
muskrat, now the most important j
species of fur bearer in point of total
value, is prime in late winter and
early spring and should not be taken
in the fall when the pelt is worth
less, while the skunk, mink and some
others reach a condition of prime
ness earlier and become valueless
late in winter. Laws giving protec
tion at the season of the year when
the fur is of little value and during
the breading season are strongly ad
vocated.
j A committee of naturalists, ap
1 pointed by the National Game Con
ference of the American Game Pro
tective Association, is studying the
question of the proper classification
of animals as vermin or otherwise.
ADDRESS OF ANZAC VET.
SOUGHT BY LEGION POST
Indianapolis, Feb. 10. (JP)—The Am
erican Legion has been requested to
aid in finding the whereabouts of Wil
son Fitzroy Littler, a former Anzac
soldier. His heart-broken mother has
not heard from him since September
5, 1922, when his address was Box
131, Willits, Calif. The request came
through Thomas C. Moxley, 517 Stan
ley street, South Brisbane, Queens
land, Australia, Grand Scribe of the
Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons of Queensland, and E. R.
Turnbull, Carlinville, 111., chairman of
the committee on foreign relations of
the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma
sons of the United States.
Littler was wounded in the World
war and was a prisoner in Turkey
two and one-half years, which affect
ed his mind to the extent that he suf
fered relapses. In 1920 his address
was 1421 Sutter street, San Francisco,
and a few months before that he was
in Orcult, Calif., but he may have
traveled through several States since
that time.

MUFFS AND WATER BOTTLES
“Fill up our muff”' was the un
usual request of two women at a
London hotel buffet as they handed
the astonished waiter their muffs.
The waiter removed two small hot
water bottles which he recharged
with boiling water. They were re
turned on a silver salver and the
guests departed satisfied.
Muffs are slowly making their way
into vogue again and most stores
showing them exhibit alongside small
hot-water bottles.
H. S. Balderston, vice-president of
the Seward bank, who is a business
visitor in Anchorage, returns tomor
row.
