This line also forms the entire northern boundary of the states of New York, Vermont and New Hampshire and the western margin of Maine to its northernmost tip. Cochran, assistant Division cu- of Reptiles and Amphibians, United States National museum, points out that the milk snake has no sucking muscles in its throat and that the sharp teeth in the mouth of the snake would certainly cause the cow to rebel if the reptile attempted to milk her. Doctor Cochran says that the milk snake is a very helpful reptile which destroys more than ts share of rats and mice around Darns and does man absolutely no for, the people post-offic- e, stores, graveyard, rabbits, rats, mice or frogs. It is impossible to land horses there, so the ground must be dug with a spade, and there is no wheel traffic.

I Age Begins With Baptism Hungarian law decrees that a persons age begins with baptism. Consequently, when a woman was tried in Presburg for receiving stolen goods, the court had to acquit her, notes a writer in Colliers Weekly, although she was admittedly guilty, upon her plea and proof that, as her baptism had taken place only six months before the trial, she was a legal infant.

Andrew Anderson, Bruno, Sask., farmer, had always wanted to have a holiday in the northern Saskatchewan woods and see moose, deer and other wild life. He drove his family to Prince Albert National park. In the dark near the park, he spotted a moose. The moose jumped into the middle of the road and the resulting collision caused $35 damage to the car. The moose bolted into the woods, apparently unin- jured. 1 A PUP IS LIONS PET vioSybil Chapman, lin prodigy from London, South Afnine-year-o- ld rica, photographed as she arrived in New York on the liner Aquitania.

The effect, as a whole, is unmistakingly what it is meant to be. Designed by Capt. W. B.

Over 100 years old, with 5 to 50 keys, the accordion is popular because its so easily transported. Like so many other musical instruments, it had a hard time gaining respectability, because its timbre (tone) was so coarse. How ment has provided Canada with a Farmer Wishes to See new and powerful weapon against Moose, but Never Again liquor smuggling along Canadas Atlantic coasts. The Canadian and British governments have signed an antismuggling treaty giving the Royal Canadian Mounted police force the right to chase, seize and search any British vessel suspected of being engaged in smuggling activities as far off the coast as 12 miles. In the past the limit has been three miles. The treaty applies to vessels under 500 tons, and in some cases of more than 500 tons, registered in Great Britain and in all other parts of the British empire except dominions. The powers given to Canada will be used to intensify the war on liquor smuggling, which is particularly active along the Nova Scotia coast, where a $1,000,000 rumrunning ring is alleged to be operating. Old Principle Retained. An official statement issued simultaneously with proclamation of the antismuggling treaty explained that the Canadian forces were greatly troubled by the activities of liquor smugglers off the coast and that experience showed that a number of the vessels concerned are British vessels registered outside Canada. The statement added that the treaty would not impair the principle of limit for territorial the three-mil- e waters which is recognized by both governments. Liquor smuggling along the coasts of the maritime provinces, made highly profitable by the high excise tax of $8 to $9 a gallon imposed by the Canadian government, has been widespread for years. The peak of smuggling activities was reached during the dry era in the United States, but now is confined mainly to the maritime provinces and Quebec. Since repeal in the United States there has been little demand for bootleg liquor because American whisky has become fairly cheap and countless brands supply every taste. The technique adopted by the smugglers to land their illicit cargoes in Canada is for a mother ship to come out from Great Britain or from the West Indies loaded with contraband liquor, stop outside the three-mil- e limit and advise smuggling launches of its whereabouts by radio or signals. The launches then speed out at night to take off tiie cargoes and smuggle them into the maritime provinces at isolated parts of the Atlantic and Gulf of St. Lawrence coasts. Some Caches on Farms. Occasionally smuggling ships come close to the coast and cache hundreds of kegs of liquor on farms along the shore, where the bootleggers later pick it up. , often The protective cruisers chase off the smuggling ships which venture too close to shore, but in the past they have been thwarted in their attempts to capture the vessels because their powers of search limit. were limited to the three-mil- e The new treaty is designed to overcome that obstacle. limit will It is believed the enable the speedy cruisers to overtake and seize any smuggling vessels sighted near shore. According to the Bureau of Public Health service, babies will react to light the first day after birth, indicating that they are not entirely Dlind when born. On about the sixth day their eyes will follow a light. Clear perception of objects comes during the fifth month, according to an Americana article on infancy, which states that hearing is in abeyance for several days, a baby at Dirth being practically deaf. After a week or. 10 days this function begins and later hearing becomes very acute, the infant being able to recognize the mothers voice or a footstep at about three months.
