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.

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. fSunny Side News v__i The oyster supper and Hallo we’en celebration at which the la dies of Sunny Side and community were hostesses last Thursday evening was a bevy pleasant suc cess.
