Animals: Wolves

¶ Last week U. S. S. R. scientists announced a novel plan for cutting down the great packs of wolves in Siberia, making winter travel safer. At intervals throughout the wolf country will be hung microphones connected to a central telephone exchange. The "central" will listen for savage howls, locate the sending station, despatch rangers to despatch the howlers.

¶ Oldtime woodsmen of the Tupper Lake district in the Adirondacks turned out in force last week to hunt down a pack of seven Canadian wolves which Thomas Monette of Belmont saw running along the bank of Trout River. Thomas Monette explained he did not shoot at the big, hungry marauders because he did not know whether the law protected them. (It does not.)
