game law Yale Professor Declares
Made Easier by Change in
Public Sentiment
A lew years ago it was impossible
t o g e t a j u t y to convict people in
certain parts of the s'ale for viola
tion ol game laws. This is grad
ually changing. Farmers and other
landowners have become more in
terested in game protection. They
have come to understand that game
is one of our most valuable resour
ces
•
From the time the Fish and
Game Commission took office, on
May 21, 1911, to December 1, 1912,
632 ariesls were made for violation
of the game laws Out oi this num-
bet, 420 convictions were secured,
or 66 yi per cent ol the persons ar
rested Were convicted.
During the year 1913, there were
312 arrests and 229 convictious, or
73 per cent of those arrested were
convicted.
During the past year of 1914,
there were 333 arrests and 307. or
92 per cent ol those arrested were
coovicted.
In the biennial report of the Cal
ifornia Fish and Game Commission
recently published, concerning the
arrests and convictions during the
past two years, it says:
“ The percentage of convictious
obtained, 83 per cent, is, so far as
we know, the highest ever obtained
iu the country by any Fish and
Game Board.”
The credit lor the high percentage
of convictions in game cases, and
for the improvement of game con
ditions in Oregon, must be given to
the warden service throughout the
state. These men have worked
caielully and intelligently to inter
est people in the value of our game
resources, and to get co-opetation
in making Oregon a great game
state.

Would a good iron rivet be auitable

Good Iron rivets would be suitable
to use on the frame of a light car.
The principal stress endured by these
rivets Is one o f sheer through the tend
ency to rack on the part o f the
frame. A great deal depends upon
the manner lit which the riveting Is
done. For Instance, It hns been shown
In experimenting that a rivet U 0 .S per
cent weaker In a drilled bole than In a
punched bole and that by rounding tbe
edge o f tbe rivet bole the apparent
sheering resistance Is Increased 12 per
cen t It Is also true that sheering re
sistance Is probably less for double
than for single sheer, and this Is prob
ably due to tbe unequal distribution of
the stress ou the two rivet sections.
Experiments on tbe sheering strength
of Iron und steel rivets would Indicate

The advantages of the friction trans

advantage Is that tbe friction disk

worth noting, and tbe amount of
