PA'OE NTNTT L FOUN PITTSBURGH (UP) Abandoned coal mines are proving a menace to Pittsburgh and other western Pennsyl vania towns, some of which owe their very existence to the now worthless workings. These mines are now under sur veillance of works progress adminis tration authorities, In Pennsylvania. Property damage caused by these un derground liabilities runs high. And In some Instances even houses are destroyed or made uninhabitable for those persons unfortunate enough to dwell In the abandoned area. Many of the pits are afire. And they , smoulder for years far underground, usually sending columns of steam and smoke out of small vents In the sur face. Occasionally miniature erup tions destroy houses and damage streets. Sulphurous waters flow from some of them, polluting streams in the le gion and killing fish. The most dangerous type Is that In which fire Is smouldering. The fire eats gradually through coal seams until It reaches a point near the sur face. Sometimes live coals will set fire to a dwelling or damage a water main. Often, however, the ground caves In, destroying whatever hap pens to be standing on It. Approximately 2,103 men will be given a year's work in 31 counties In the bituminous region to check the ravages of the abandoned mines. The work will be sponsored by the works progress administration. Officials emphasize that the work will not only be that of putting out mine fires, but also to stop pollution of streams throughout western Penn sylvania. The mines to be sealed have not been chosen. Releases must first be obtained from their owners. T CACHE IN PRISON SAN QUENTTN PRISON. Calif.. Feb. 14.

People are buying the gaunt old places and spending large sums on their improvement. Many of the buy era are Americans and South Amer icans, eagerly bidding for the anclea. domains of Britain's barons. Numerous castles and - country places sold recently have moated granges and ere set In tree-lined parks. One would-be buyer of a historic country place said he Is ready to pay $200,000 spot cash but has search ed for five months In vain. "Everybody aeema to have Just sold the ones I have wanted," he said. In numerous cases the owners of these old castles handed down from generation to generation of old fam ilies are unable to dispose of them because they were given to their an cestors by the Crown and cannot be sold. They must be handed on to each eldest son. Schools, hospitals and country clubs now occupy many of these old places. For Instance, Stowe, one-time palace of the Dukes of Buckingham. is boys' school. Betty Abbey, with Its parapets and stone towers remi niscent of medieval times, Is a school for girls. Comment on the Day's News H By FRANK JENKINS ERE la a question that often arises: "How much game do hunters kill?" Those meek and long-ufferlng wives who clesn and cook what their hus bands bring home win sigh wearily at times and answer: 'Too much," whereas those wives who have to make budget ends meet will reply un hesitatingly: "Too darned little In proportion to what It costs." Cynical friends will put In : "Not as much as they CLAIM to." DOWN in California, they have a quaint Spanish custom that re quires the hunter to put down on his license everything that falls to his gun during the year, so that when the 13 months are up the statisticians csn get busy and figure up whst hap pened. (Whether the hunter takes slong a secretary to keep telly, or does the Job himself, Is left to his own discretion. At lesst, they hsven't come yet to the point of assigning one game warden take the shooter's word), tak ethe shooter's word). At any rate, they get It into the books. AT THE end of 1936. Joe E. Hunter, chief of game refuges for the California fish and game commission, selected 10.000 licenses from those returned by hunters, picking them at random from over the state so as to get a fair showing, and counted up the kill. The totala are Interesting. Here they are: Deer Bear Rabbits Ducks Qeese Pheasants Doves Pigeons Quail . 3.113 84 . 48.833 . 43,783 , 3,406 . 3.339 . 65,865 . 7,080 . 78.864 . 3,413 Coyotes At first glance, that looks like an awful lot of game to fall before the hunters' guns stirring the thought that In a little while, at this rate, the game will all be gone. But It must be remembered that 10.000 hunters are a lot of hunters. The average per hunter Isn't so great. 4 TAKE the case of quail, for ex ample. -According to these figures, nearly 80.000 quail were- bagged by these 10.- 000 shooters, but when you start do- i Ing arithmetic you discover thst this was only about EIOHT quail per nun- ' ter, for the whole season. , Thst doesn't look so big. j m THESE figures bring home the fact that limits are Important for It 1 atanda to reason that each hunter dldnt kill his average of eight quail or four ducks. Some hunters killed a lot more end others a lot less in cluding those who get skunked. If limits permitted, the kill would probatly run Into rather stsggerlng totala. Even aa It is, figures from these 10.000 licenses show that it takes a lot of game to keep ALL the hunters going. THE figures here quoted were sup- ; plied the writer by Tom Stanley, ! secretary of the Shasta-Cascade Won derland association, whose business It Is to bring outdoor people with money 1 to spend Into the Wonderland coun- ! ties. Probably the thought In his j mind was that If we're going to have ' hunting and fishing for our paying' visitors, we re going to have to be ! careful with our resources. Silver coins worth five mllrels (about 30 cents) and nickel coins worth 300 rels( about 3 cents) will make their appearance in Brazil soon under a bill approved by the finance committee of the chamber of deputies.
