He had joined the Examiner's staff four years before that time. Only 17, he was put to work chasing pictures, but a few months later was advanced to for the three police years. beat, Those which he three covered were exciting, for he solved 12 murder mysteries that the Chicago police had pigconholed. In odd moments, Mr. Yokel found time to land the first exclusive interviews granted to the press by both the elder J.

Two of these men later became nationwide celebrities: Ring Lardner and Clare Briggs. Mr. Yokel gave each his first big-town newspaper job, thus paving the way for their important careers as writer and cartoonist. serving his apprenticeship at publicity work in a vaudeville, Mr. Yokel, still in his early, twenties, decided to become a theatrical producer.

Accordingly, he put on a turkey. musical show, which was profitable. Then he put on another. All told, he backed and managed 12 turkeys, all playing at least 40 consecutive and successful weeks in the small towns out of Then SIr. Yokel returned to publicity.

"Madame Sherry" was significant in Mr. Yokel's life, for it did two things: it established him as an important press agent and it brought him to New York. He has stayed here ever since, cxcept for visits and for his second coinpany of "Three Men on a Horse." After "Madame Sherry," Mr. Yokel did the publicity for "Little Jessic James." which was one of I. Lawrence Weber's smash hits.

This was followed by similar work for several plays and musicals, most of which have since forgotten. But allother smash came along: "The Cocoanuts," which introduced the Marx Brothers to full length musical comedy. Harry Delf then bid for Mr. Yokel's services, with the result that he did promotion work for "The Family Upstairs." Then came his association with George Jessel, who became the star of "The Jazz Singer," due entirely to Mr. Yokel's insistence that he be thus billed.

The committee reports a number of members are feeding birds but that other volunteers are wanted to help in this important work. had some pertinent statements to Former Harry B. Hawes make in his recent address before the North American Wildlife Conference. We quote some as follows: "The conservation movement will not meet with practical success unless there is united effort and cooperation among the Federal, State, farmer and sportsmen factors. The first two involve the law machinery of the nation and States, the last two are a matter of education and persuasion.

"The backbone of the movement must necessarily be hunter and fisherman who pay the State con-. servation bill. Intelligently organized, with definite, sensible objectives, these two groups can wield a greater influence than any single industry or occupation, or any other sport in America. "Game is not a mechanical thing. Taken into possession it is a food of a delectable character.

Reduced to possession it all economic value in the life of the nation running into many, many millions of dollars. We cannot restore primitive conditions, but we believe the factors inimical to the great outdoors can be counterbalanced by modern methods of game and fish replacement." Hawes pointed out the Federal Government owns ahout 400,000.000 acres of land and the States control 000,000 acres over which the Federal authorities have no jurisdiction. Stating it is unthinkable that a Federal bureau should determine the local problem of each State, nor can it because of its unconstitutionality, Hawes recommended a consolidation of all Federal conservation agencies under one control, "either under a new department or under a secretary reporting directly to the President, or through the designation by the President of some one official who shall have real authority to secure, by mandatory process, the active, practical cooperation of those departments covered by the Coordination Act." "The advisory board should be restored to full vigor and power. Members of the board should have complete independence of thought and conviction and their selection carefully scrutinized by sportsmen's organizations. I recommend the board's.

restoration in enlarged form, with greater authority and independence, and that all efforts to make of it a 'rubber stamp' he defeated." Ed. note: Neither of these recommendations were new but they were brought up at an auspicious moment and because of their importance and timeliness are worthy of repetition.
