Bob Acres To Be
Made Into a Home
For Wild Fowl

New Orleans, June 11.-Jefferson
Island, former home of Joseph Jeffer
son in iberia parish, southern Louis
lana, and named by him Bob Acres"
after the character in THE Rivals
made famous on the stage by the act
or, is to be developed into a sanctuary
for wild fowl by Lawrence Jones and
]. Lyle Bayliss, of Lexington, KY,
who recently purchased the property.
1t comprises 10000 acres. A con-
tract has been awarded for the con-
struction of dam along one edge Of
the property in order to re- establish
a cypress swamp drained some years
ago. When the water accumulates it
is proposed to establish an immense
heronry in order that the many species
of herons in Louisiana, especially the
aigrette, may build nests and raise
their young over water. as is their
habit.
In addition, the new owners of Bob

conservation commission to set~a aside
as a wild water fowl refuge. The f5ee
is noted resort for ducks during the
winter months and they flock there by
the hundreds of thousands.
More than one third of the land en-
bracing Lake Peigneu is included in
Bob Acres and owners of other prop
erty adjoining have signified their de-
sire to prohibit the shooting of wild
fowl on the body of the water. Under
authority granted by the state. the
conservation commission will prohibit
shooting when a petition signed by
all adjoining property owners is re-
ceived and establish it as the first of
a series of interior refugees planned
during the coming year.

Making Survey
of Ice Situation

Orlando, June 11.-(SpeciaD The
food administration is making a care
full survey of the national ice situa-
ton in order that it may be prepared
to meet any sudden shortages in par
ticular communities. The destruction
of ice plants by fire, break down of
machinery or the exigency of the
weather may at any time cause a Sc
rious shortage.
With these possibilities In mind the
food administration is advising federal
food administrators In all states to
make a careful survey of ice avail
able for shipment. With this infor-
easy to rush quick relief to any com
munity that may be threatened by an
ice famine.
surveys will be studied in an effort to
formulate plans for building up and
maintaining a sufficient amount of
stored ice to assure the community a
proper supply during the period of no.
weather and to insure against suffer-
ing in the event of an accident. The
food administration will also study
them with view to having records
of the nearest ice available IN case Of
unexpected shortages.
Ice is frequently shipped from one
state to another and the food admin
istration is anxious to arrange for ex-
change of information between admin
istrators of neighboring states. How
ever, administrators are being in
structed to report to Washington any
marked shortage or surplus.

An Aviation Camp in France, June
paper of the American Air Services on
the ground that there has been an un-
necessarily large number of accidents
has evoked a retort from Plane News.
published by the American aviators in
training here.
Records show, says the aviators' or
gan, that about sixty men made the
supreme sacrifice last year while in
training. One American newspaper. it
asserts, has endeavored to account for
these fatalities as having been caused
by "cramped space" which the men
have to fly in and has asked whether
"the supervision of our aviation camps
is in the hands of officers who know
their business"
only small percentage of the fa-
talities have been caused by collision
and other causes were of various ma
ture which were beyond any govern
ment CONTROL says Plane News. The
majority of instruction centers have
outlying fields where men in the va
rious stages in training are confined.
THE officers in charge are as COM
petent as can be had Many are West
Point men of long military training
and nearly all have become expert
aviators themselves. They know, IL
anybody ever will, the dangers of fly
ing and the necessary precautions to
take.

flying is largely a matter of intuition.
which sense can only be acquired
through constant practice of long du-
ration.
The training of an aviator, from
the beginning, assumes practically the
same dangers as actual service in the
air at the front, which is not the case
in the training of any other branch OF
the service Therefore it is little Won
der that the loss of a few men in
training should stir the public to be-
lieving that carelessness has had its
part in causing the losses.
The machine a pilot begins on is
safer than each succeeding machine
he is taught to handle and it is sig
nificant to note just what training will
do for the flyer. For instance. the cas-
ualties for the most part come when
the pilot is operating the largest and
safest planes. Few casualties are re-
corded of the lighter and faster types
which are exceedingly hard to handle
and susceptible to the least wrong
move on the part of the pilot.
Considering that in practice there
is practically the same danger element
as there is in flying at the front, the
percentage of casualties is very low in
comparison to the great number of fly
ers in training. Were the actual fig
ures made known of just what is being
accomplished in daily flights, landings.
