Hides came in from Texas
hunters at the rate of About 100
a week for the first three weeks
of th hunting season. Mr. Rath-
deer hides for patients in the bone said.

Help With Hides
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 17.—
Motor freight lines are givingi a
realistic help in the collection of I G--------------------
deer hides for patients in the bone said. They were shipped
four state operatd TB hospitals. ! from all sections of the state.
A numbr of these Texas car I
riers are waiving shipping'
charges on the hides consigned
to the patients and addressed to
the Austin Taxidermist Studio
where tanning is being donated.
L M Rathbone, the owner, is
paying shipping costs on hides
sent to him collect.
A spokesman for the motor
freight industry reports that the
policy may vary with individual
, lines and suggests that the hunt-
er consigning the shipment call
to the carrier’s attention the fact
chiefly in packages of one or
two from individual hunters.
Locker plants processing the
game also are aiding in the qol-
lection. Several owners have no-
tified Mr. Rathbone they are
salting and storing the hides giv-
en by the hunters for bulk ship-
ment to him at the close of the
season.
State hospital officials have
voiced the hope that at least one
hide will be available to each
of the approximately 2500 TB
patients for use in leather work
that the hides are being given to ' during the coming year. __
