Fewer ducks stopped in Illinois this season, but i good hunting weather, flooding of | bottomland timber and a longer i open season made an increased 'kill possible. Bellrose said.

HEW LAW The new Illinois law against shooting foxes from airplanes is going to be enforced. So say Leonard Schwartz, state conservation director, and Joseph K. McLaughlin, head of the Department of Aeronautics. The General Assembly at its last regular session amended the game code so as to prohibit this type of hunting. which is dangerous to persons and livestock. Aeronautics' agents and conservation field men will patrol regions where foxes have been reported, and the aeronautics chief has warned pilots that shooting from planes also constitutes a violation of federal law. --_--. --Mi- Read the Want AS*!

F. W. hall Sunday. Dec. 16, heard Walter E. Richardson of Normal blast the Illinois Medical Practice act as "discriminatory and dictatorial." Mr. Richardson, executive secretary of the Prairie 8tate Chiropractic Association, Inc., declared that prosecution of chiropractors by the state "actually is being done under a law which .does not even exist." He pointed p>ut that no Illinois statutes deline the chiropractice science and sharply censored the official licenMiitg procedure on the ground that a medical examining committee -conducts chiropractic examinations. * "Chiropractors," he said, "want an equitable law that says what chiropractic is and provides for an examining board made up of chiropractors. These men are not 'outlaws'. They have been tryinfe ever since 1#23 to get such a law on the books, but they have been thwarted at each legislative try by an amazingly wealthy and overly-powerful opposition." Unanimously adopted was a resolution "informing the' state officials concerned that the attempted enforcement of the Illinois Medical Practice Act of 1923. on the dubious theory that it applies to chiropractors, is not in the public interest."
