Austin, Tex.—The ten day open
season on white wing doves pro-
claimed by Secretary of Interior
Harold L. Ickes came as a distinct
surprise to officials of the State
Game, Fish and Oyster Commission
who had been led to believe that
there would be no open season on
white wing doves this year.
The federal open season of ten
daysl, however, conflicts rather
sharply with the state laws which
permits the shooting of white wing
doves in Webb, Zapata, Starr, Hi-
dalgo, Cameron and Willacy coun-
ties only between 12 noon and sun-
set on Sept. 16, 18, 21, 23, and 25.
Hence, under federal regulations
white wing doves may be shot at
any time between September 16
and Sept. 25 but under the state
law they may |be shot in the above
named counties only between, 12
noon and' sunset on the five after-
noons specified by law. And, of
course, the state law takes prece-
dence irf this instance.
The season on white wing doves
is from Sept. 16 to Sept. 25.
PROPER CARE OF MINNOWS:
Many minnows are lost each season
by improper methods of taking,
handling and holding. When min-
nows are taken in seines or traps,
the ones to be kept should be plac-
ed in water of the siame tempera-
ture from which they are taken,
and the ones to be returned, should
be handled with great care and
placed in water of sufficient depth
and not in the shallow waters or
in dense vegetation.
If ice is usod in transporting min-
nows to the holding tank, the tem-
perature of the water should be,
equalized.
When minnows are dipped from
a tank, a small net Should be used,
handling only a few at a time. A
great' deal of Harm is done when too
raanv minnows are caught at one
ins in large dip nets. Fungus dev-
elops readily during the warm sum-
mer months when the slime is re-
moved due to handling and results
in a great lossl.
The water in holding tanks should
be free from chlorine or other
chemicals that might be used in
treating drinking water, and also
well aerated. The water can be
aerated by running it over a rough
surface or fine screen, and also by
spraying through the air. If city
water that is treated is used, it
should Ibe filtered, through a con-
tainer or a regulation filter for this
particular purpose.
A good filter can be made by us-
ing a container about the size of. a
thirty gallon barrel, filled with one
third gravel in the bottom, and
-third sand and one-third fine
charcoal on the top. A screen
should be placed over the inside
of the outlet at the bottom. It is
better if the water is sprayed into
the top of the barrel.
SQUIRREL SHORTAGE: A pos-
sibility that fox may be responsible
for the shortage of squirrels in
Medina and Bandera counties was
contained in a report received by
the game, fish and oyster commis-
sion from one of its field men. The
warden said he saw a fox catch ai
squirrel on the Seco Creek, south of
D’Hanis. He said the squirrel in a
frantic effort to escape the fox ran
part way up a fence post tout was
caught by the fox before he could
scamper to the top of the post. A
few days later this same warden
said he was parked in a secluded
spot near Medina Lake when a fox
came near to his car with a squirrel
in its mouth.
Albinos continue to appear in
Texas, according to reports receiv-
ed by the game department. A few
days; ago a pure white humming
bird was found near Brownwood.
It was the first of the albino hum-
ming birds that the state game war-
den in that area has seen.

(>n the Wrong Boat
The Hollywood scriptwriters are
doing their best to adjust them-
selves! to the crisis, but there; are,
inevitably, some loose ends. One
fellow turned in a script about sub-
marine combat, in the course of
which a submarine commander,
catching sight of the enemy, barks,
“All hands on deck! We’re going to
submerge!”—The New Yorker.
No Word to the Wise
He: “May I kiss you? May I
please kiss you? Say, are you
deaf?”
She; ‘‘No! Are you paralyzed?”
Sergeant: ”Any of you men got
a dirty uniform?”
Private (hoping for a new uni-
form): “Yes, sergeant, look at me.”
j Sergeant: ‘‘You’ll do. Report to-
! morrow morning at 6:30 for coal
shoveling.”
All Fixed
Friend: “So you’re setting your
boy up in the bakery business.”
Man: “Yes, he’s so keen for
dough and such a swell loafer that
I’m sure he’ll rise in the business.”
Hot and Tired ... s Car
• Vacation weariness isn't an ailment of people alone. Cars
have it too. While you were "ah-ing" at the mountain scenery,
your car was "oh-ing" under the straining climb. While you
sunned on the sand, your car simmered in the sun. And as
you travelled the back roads your car was getting rattles and
squeaks . . . Let the Humble service man prescribe the proper
services for travel-pains in your car:
k
Drain, flush, and refill the crankcase with fresh,
clean motor oil
• Wash and Humble Charted Lubrication
• Polish and wax job
• Wheel-bearing repacks
• Complete inspection of tires, battery and spark plugs
Mrs. O’Leary
Has Competition
Austin—Now there are two fam-
ous cows—Mrs. O’Leary’s and Mr.
Wright’s.
Everybody knows about Mrs. O’
Leary’s cow, and; the lawyers and
police officers of Texas are learning
about Mr. Wright’s. It was four
years ago; that Wright began sell-
ing his cows, along with a gpng and-
dairee, and he’s been selling it ever
since.
Wright—his initials are C. R.,
but his friends call him Charley
always sells this one cow to C. A.
Fox for $42. Mr. Fox pays by check,
typing everything but his scrawled
signature, and usually notes on its
face that the check is ‘‘For 1 cow.”
Usually, upon selling the cow
again, Wright calls upon a lawyer
in a medium-sized city, retains the
lawyer to handle a suit against a
railroad whose train allegedly has
run into his truck, and gets the
lawyer to endorse Fox’s check so
he can cash it. On two occasions
Wright sought the professional ser-
vices of a dentist. A Cleburne dent-
ist gave him a $30 set of false teeth
and $12 change for Fox’s check. A
Seguin dentist endorsed one of the
checks after agreeing to work on
Wright’s teeth.
Fox’s checks always come back
marked “no1 account,” and Wright
is nowhere to be found.
Wright’s first known offense was
in Mineral Wells in September,
1937. Subsequently he has cashed
worthless checks in Cleburne, La-
rediO', Waco, Marlin, Cameron, Con-
roe, Kerrville and Seguin.
Chief Joe S. Fletcher of the State
Police Identification Bureau be-
lieves many swindles perpetrated by
Wright have never been reported.
Wright is described as 55 years old,
150 to 160 pounds, and about 5
feet 10 or 11 inches tall.
To have a respect for ourselves
guides our morals; and to have a
