LONDON MoURNs FOR ITS KFVl
Only Apteryx In England Is No More
--Wingless Bird Is Believed
Nearly Extinct.

The total extinction In England Of
the kiwl Cor apteryx) has become
reality. The London Daily Mail an
nounces the death of the Regents
park zoos only specimen. The species Is
nearly extinct in New Zealand now,
put the British Geological society has
written to the New Zealand govern
ment asking if just one more kiwi can
be spared from the island sanctuary.
biologists will mourn the loss of the
dwarf wingless ostrich more than the
zoo visitors, for not one in ten thou
sand ever saw it while it lived there
more than nine years. The keeper
would turn out this queerest of birds
every now and then, but the long
billed bundle of apathy and sleepiness
scrambled back into its box as soon
as released.
A curious point about the kiwi is
the fact that its nostrils are at the tip
of its long worm-hunting beak, and in
the ardour of the chase it emits an
unpleasant snuffling noise. Its mating
call is pig-like squeal.
England is responsible for the vir-
tual extinction of this rare bird. Brit
fsh ships brought rats to New Zea-
land, so weasels were sent to eNtermi-
nate the rats. When they had nearly
wiped out the kiwi, the New Zealand
government found a ratless island and
consecrated it to the poor bird. But
the problem Of saving an idiot BIRD
that puts all its eggs into one shell,
so to speak, was difficult one. The
kiwi laid one egg season, nearly as
big as itself. Exceptional mothers
would lay two eggs and then find 1t
almost impossible to hatch both, as
the ends would project out beyond
their feathers as they sat on them.

RATION OF C0TToNsEED MEAL
One Pound Per Day for Each 1000
Pounds Live Weight Is Most
Satisfactory.

One pound of cottonseed meal per
day for each 1000 pounds live weight
Is the most satisfactory quantity to
feed work animals, according to re-
cent experiments conducted by the Uni
fed States department Of agriculture.
A test in feeding cottonseed meal to
work horses and mules at the govern
ment farm, Beltsville, Md, was begun
in 1918, and continued last year. When
the meal was fed in large quantities
harmful effects were apparent how
ever, indicating that cottonseed meal.
like any other high-protein feed must
be fed with care to horses and mules.

this disease often is spread from the
wild creatures to domestic animals,
and frequently endangers humans. In
this work of determination the states
and numerous private organizations
have had an important share.
The work of killing rodents-prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, jack rabbits
and cottontails, pocket gophers, native
mice, wood rats, cotton rats, etc.-is
also carried on with the cooperation
of the states. During the past fiscal
year ground squirrels were poisoned

Chicago Sees Thousands
OF Cars Parked Daily
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO. Ill.,, Dec. 6.-More than
5000 automobiles are parked daily in
the municipal parking reserve in Grant
park during the summer months, ac-
cording to an estimate of Chicago pc
licemen stationed there.
Three hundred and sixty acres OF
land have been leveled off along the
Illinois Central Railroad companys
right of way, and devoted entirely to
the storage of automobiles during bus
mess hours. The daily parking or
this huge fleet of machines partially
solves the traffic problem in the ad-
jacent downtown district.
During the winter months the daily
percentage of automobiles in the re
serve" dwindles down to the $500
mark, according to the Grant park
police officials, but there is not an
hour of the "a when there are not
at least 500 cars parked there.
1t was proposed recently to build
an enormous underground garage, but
this plan is rapidly losing favor due
to the huge sum of money necessary
for it's construction. At the present
time 10000 automobiles can be con
veniently placed in the park.

Indiana Housing Shortage
Disappearing, Say Officials
OF Stcte Auditors Office
(By Associated Prcss)

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. G.-Shortage
of housing facilities in Indiana is being
met in part by the building and loan
associations scattered throughout the
state, according to officials of the state
auditors office having supervision over
the auditors office.
In the last calendar year 2,214 homes
have been built by the associations,
1898 houses have undergone improve
ments, and 9.040 other homes have
been sold on payments, says report
issued by the Building and Loan div1-
sion of the auditors office.
The associations, according to the
officials, are having an unprecedent
growth and development, their total
assets in the state now amounting to
1914, ESQ, 900, an increase of 100000
in a year. More than 100000 Indiana
people are members of the associa-
lions, 74,O62 being classified as borrow
ing members and 1868 as investing
members. The mortgage loans held
by associations amount to $50, 100000.
"The great function of the building
and loan associations" says the report,
lis to provide homes for the masses of
laboring people and to give them the
opportunity to pay for these homes
with their daily or weekly savings. AS
the economic conditions in the country
improve the associations will fulfill
their functions in a larger measure
and in more efficient manner.
Never before in the history of the
associations has their been so great
demand for their services. The United
States is short a million homes, and
The associations everywhere are enter
ing upon a career of usefulness to
their communities that ultimately
must make them Indispensable factors
