Last Hunting Season in Virginia
■ Richmond, Va., Nov. 8.—Total
value of all game killed in Vir
ginia for the season ended Feb
ruary 1, 1924, was $841,452, ac
cording to estimates made in a
recent survey by the Department
of Game. ,*
' Sixteen Species.
Sixteen species of game animals
and birds are counted in the sur
vey, which was .made by the Vir
ginia department in conjunction
with the United States Bureau of
Biological Survey.
Information contained in the
Survey was obtained from leading
sportsmen in each county of the
state, assisted by reports of the
game wardens. It is only an ap
proximate count, and the value of
the game is considered only an
•pproximate value.
Economic Values.
Much of the game could not be
sold on markets under the game
laws, and some of it could not be
sold at all. The values are esti
mated in terms of economic values
for food, furs and hides.

Cocktails and College Students
Worry English Medical Profession
London, Nov. 3.—Cocktails and
college drinking are agitating a
section of the British medical pro
fession.
“The cocktail,” says The Practi
tioner, a medical journal, “must be
ranked among the most reprehens
ible forms of alcoholic abuse. ft
Is New Drink.
A few years ago cocktails had
no place in English customs.
The American bar was regarded
as an exclusive convenience for the
queer folks from across the At
lantic.
But now the English are swim
ming in cocktails and like it. Not
so the English medical journal,
which says:
“The old belief which excused a
moderate indulgence—that cock
tails create an appetite for food—
is entirely erroneous. Their fre
quent consumption has a most
serious effect on the health. "
But “the most unwelcome sign
of the times," the journal proceeds,
“is the great increase of alcbholic
abuse ampng university under
graduates. We do not hesitate to
recommend stringent control for
those young men who demonstrate
their disregard for college rules
and common decency by appearing
disgracefully ntoxicated in pub
lic."
Serious Charge.
It happens that this charge is
*bout as serious as
brought against college students.
j|. . The Englishman of social codes
may be a drinkere, he may even
be a very heavy nnd persistent
^'and drinker, but he requires of himself
his ial equals that they
puld “carry their liquor well. «»
Response From Colleges.
There has been an instantaneous
response from both Oxford and
into his heart.
Without a trade of nervousness
the° boy telephoned a physician
and then police headquarters. ,
*' ‘ Phones Police.
“Harry Geaslin has been shot,”
he telephoned the police. “The
boy who shot Him Is Here now and
will wait for you to come and get
him.” *
When police reached the Geqslin
home they found Geaslin lying on
the floor with a pistol by his side.
Mrs. Geaslin was kneeling near
the body.
After he had made his statement
to the police and had been locked
in a cell, young Wilson asked for
his dinner.
He remained calm and reserved.
Mrs. Geaslin also made a state
ment similar to the boy’s, adding
that her husband had often come
come intoxicated and abused her.
cial returns. The money goes
toward the upkeep of the Conser
vation Department, continued the
survey, and there is no way of
figuring the benefits of the depart
ment except by the fact that game
is conserved and hunting made
possible year after year, when
without such supervision the for
ests aud fields soon would be
f * _W VjU a
drained of wild life.
Deer Killed in 35 Counties.
Deer were slain in 35 counties
during the season.
The department's report counts
the hunters’ bag at 793 for" the
season, with a commercial value
estimated at $19,925.
Two elk also were killed.
Quail Figures Given.
Quail to the number of 289,612
were killed. The value of the Bob
Whites slain was estimated to be
$144,806, at 50 cents per bird.
Quail cannot be sold under the
Virginia conservation laws, but
this value is set as an approxi
mate estimate of the economic
value as food.

English Scientist Declares
Man’s Future To Be Optimistic
Philadelphia, Nov. 3. — More
hopefulness regarding the future
of mankind is felt by the biolo
gists of today than was the case
a generation or so ago, declared
Dr. Stanton Coit, American by
birth and education but for the
last 35 years a resident of Lon
don. \
There ho has come to be the
foremost leader of the Ethical So
ciety movement in England.
Dr. Coit spoke at the Academy
of Music for the Philadelphia
Ethical Society, which he will ad
dress again the next two Sundays.
The early authorities on evolu
tion, said Dr. Coit, often pointed
out that “evolution” is not the
same thing as “progress”—that
evolution may mean going back
ward instead of forward.
Upward Progress.
But Julian Huxley, present-day
British biologist, characterized by
Dr. Coit as of equal scientific
standing with the elder Huxley,
who was a pioneer in discussing
evolution, was quoted by Dr. Coit
as convinced gthe universe is mark
ed by “progress toward an up
ward goal of truth and beauty. tt
<* The latest manifestation of the
eternal energy,” said Dr. Coit, “is
in the group mind. Higher than
any individual American is Amer
ica. ft
No Income Tax.
Discussing older views of the
meaning of the words “eternal
life,” Dr. Coit said it had been
thought of as a state in which
“no income tax and no question
of the income tax ever will come
before you.” But in the eternal
life, he said, “the finger of scorn
is pointed at the man who con
ceals from the government the
truth concerning his income. M
Ethical living means sharing in
eternal life, said Dr. Coit.
Eterenal Life.
“He who at any instant cares
supremely that he do right,” said
Dr. Coit; “he who cares supremely
to be just, kind and brave—al
ready that man has eternal life.
“The suicides are those inter
ested in their money bags or their
reputations. As Spinoza said,
‘Sadness, envy, fear and hate re
side in love of the perishable.’

goodness and justice, without fear
