rtunting Most Expensive And Perilous Of Sports Take* Annual Toll of Live* I'ur (in-atrr Than Those of Battle of Hunker Hill While Total K\pen*e Is Nothing Short of Prodigious I?y KDXA MAIttillALL I Cwimt. IW4. k> In* AI.iin Now York, Nov. 2fi.? The fl< r nal quest of aport has taken Its toll of life and limb among Amor loan homes In the past months of tho hunting season. Rattles, grave and desperate, and disease. fought In organized campaigns. many of them, have boon no more disas trous in tho cost thoy charged. Almost 200 killed and tliroo times as many wounded? that Is tho approximation of the toll tho hunting Heason thus far has taken Id this country, as gathered from t complete statistics In the t*tat< s. id this in hut a small per cent of the usual cost of life and limb ? because forest fires have pre rented hunting this year on its usual large scale. Guns accidentally discharged as they leaned against a tree trunk or against a fence, as thoy were cleaned or dropped by the hunter Who was not careful; and guns aimed at "something moving lit 1 the trees" which was 110 beast or bird, but a man shielded from 1 sight by overhanging loaves and boughs ? these are tho two chief causes of casualties. Men have ?hot themselves. They have shot their friends and men they never saw before In numbers unbeliev able. One hundred and forty-nine years ago, when the Americans and British opened fire at the bat tle of Hunker Hill, the first pitched battle of the war which gave us Independence, only 450 Americans were either killed or wounded. That is hundreds less than the annual coBt of human lives and limbs through hunting. The sinking of the battleship Maine on February 16, 18'J#, which plunged this country Into the Spanish-American War. con sidered one of the most horrlbh disasters of modern times, took a toll of 2 GO lives. Yet In 1923, twenty hunters were killed and 77 wounded in New York state. In Wisconsin three persons have alr:r.dy been killed during the present hunting J^ason and many Injured. Other Kfualti-s so far listed are: Mirhl jjan 28 accidents resulting In ten deaths and 18 Injuries; Minneso ta. tlv.ee killed and many Injured. Incomplete reports for Ohio Indi cate that within the past few days alone In three counties only, seven poisons have b~en Injured. Hunting casualties have bt ?-n particularly tra.\ic In that hunters arc but the only ones to h? vie t!n*ied. Fnquently spectators have been 1 ? 1 T tared wlt?i shot Aside from the casucU>oH !-u- * Ing has caused. It Is an cxpt nslv sport and Ilv- vos the expendit.i;? of millions of dollars annually. VI lib nlles ringing fr > u >25 .? $60 nnd cartridges about live cents apiece, with from 8,000,000 to 12, COO. 000 annually In the Held, hunting causes a tremendous financial output Six hundred thousand men and women In New York state have sought to kill the deer, moose, rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, quails and grouse of tho open country this year - in the name of sport while the lure of the hunt keeps somo of them at It for Weeks, they spend an average of four hours each In the field, it has been estimated ? which means a loss of 2.400.000 business hours or 300,000 days of business to the state. Hunting has cost the lives of so many representatives of wild animals life that certain species are fast dying out. New York hunters alone, killed 9,000 deer In 1922 and 12,000 In 192.1. For est fires, rsglng In the mountain ^?fclons, snd permitting only a HSy of deer hunting this year., ??led the lives of 11,000 to 12. 000 of the animals. Each year seea the death of 100,000 pheasants at the hands of hunters, and that the sport Jt perpetuated three game farina are maintained to liberate 12,000 birds annually and distribute 110.000 eggs among farnv-rs and clubs who will see thst they are hatched. The cost, sccordlng to Commissioner t.lowcllyn Logge. commissioner of the forest, fish and game commission, runs Into the high thousands of dollars ftiark Similar conditions existing throughout other states In the country combine to make hunting His most costly of all sports. In life snd time and money ? more costly than the campaigns being Waged by many organisations to ?heck the spread of dread dlsoas- n that take tolls In human life, more Sftttly than pitched battles.

HOME RUN FOR WOMAN'S CLUB Concert Put on Here Tu^ day Night by Mu*ic I)r ];:irtiiic*nt IMras<'? a Large Audicncc. The Music Department of I lie Woman's Club scored a home run in presenting the Golden Hate Concert Company to the Elizabeth City public Tuesday night. The , High School auditorium wan well filled and applause was frequent, prolonged and spontan-l eous. Katherine Pulley. ukulele soloist . was really astonishing in her rendition of operatic selections and other musical numbers of high order on this rather ma- i limned instrument. Indeed, it seemed as though a whole orches tra were playing as her nimble fingers sped across the strings. The pianist. "Happy Helen." wns very skillful and offered a great variety of selections. The same was true of the violinist. | "Sail Joan." Afier all. perhaps it was when, the five players united in some such number as the Light Cavalry Overture that they were most generally enjoyed. At any rate, t*he end came all too soon, and the concert closed with "California," the musicians j explaining with true California . pride that they were from this bin | western state which has set a shining example in telling thcT world of its many fine products. Two other concerts will be j offired through the Redpath Lyceum Bureau by the Music Do-' lartment after Christmas, and with the first one scoring such a happy hit. it is believed that tfco lyceum course will become a per manent feature of the winter sea son. as Chautauqua has done for the summer time.
