MIGRATORY WATERFOWL
NOT SHOT AS FORMERLY
Unlawful Killing During Spring
Flight Greatly Reduced This
Year, According to Reports.

Reports to the bureau of biological
survey. Department of Agriculture,
from many parts of the country indi-
cate that the unlawful killing of mi
gratory waterfowl during the spring
flight was greatly reduced this year
as compared with the heavy slaugh-
ter during the spring flights of for
mer years. 1t has been found that a
large majority of people are i'm
pressed with the fact that the govern
ment's work for bird protection is not
only wise conservation measure, but
Is necessary to perpetuate hunting
as sport. The federal law pro-
tecting migratory birds is thus being
better observed and birds are not
being molested SO much in spring as
formerly. with the result that they
are now breeding in many places
from which they were formerly driv-
en- because of constant disturbance
from spring shooters. A message from
one of the wardens regarding the
spring flight of geese in South Dakota
shows that excellent results are be-
ing secured under the migratory bird
treaty act regulations. Never, even
in the memory of the old timers has
eastern South Dakota seen a spring
flight of wild geese such as has
taken place this year. They have
fiocked into lakes and fields IN count

The general acclaim that arose over the an
nouncement Of reorganization of departments ana
putting the budget into effect operated for a time
to distract public attention from another step in
the direction Of business reform in governmental
affairs which the President has instituted-the
putting Of the Shipping Board upon an improved
business basis
There has never been such colossal failure
of an enterprise in the country as attended the
effort OF the United States government to create
for the purpose of the world war a. fleet OF ocean

perience in the field of aviation. also for war

And now for a spell Of tariff revision. not as
long in duration probably. as in some past eH-
perences with tariff tinkering. Up to this time
the country has manifested slight concern over
the tariff probably the theory that 1t was time
enough to cross that bridge when it was built
Who remembers when the tariff was the greatest
OF issues and when Congress had it under dis
c,ssion the whole country was interested. even
though 1t perhaps did not understand what it was
all abouto Then the war knocked the tariff issue
into a cooked hat and people forgot it.
In the coming consideration of tho tariff the
most interesting phase promises to be the break
up in party and sectional lines. foreshadowing a
bearing upon future political alignments In this
country. Both the old parties show reversal of
aforetime form the tariff question. The COM
binaton within the republican party OF former
protectonists states in behalf Of free lumber was
a remarkable instance of change in economic
theories and rejection of policies once held sacred
The detection of southern democrats from sup
port of old time democratic policies was equally
as significant.
Now will the final test: men who have
talked for these reversals of party form will
have to stand up and answer yea nay in the
voting. Not until the rolls are called can den-

Secretary Davis Predicts Time When the
Employer Will Call for Unioniza-
ton as Pledge of Efficiency.

! L will not work with shirkers. who.
in robbing their employers. are rob-
| bing all the rest of US. We want to
make our trade union badge symbol
of an honorable man who does an
honest days work. I mean that badge
to be badge Of price
"If the unions were more fully shot
| through with that spirit. antagonism
| to the unions would die a speedy
! death in the camps Of it's bitterest
enemies. No criticism visits the man
who works. II the unions demanded
| Of every member a certain reasonable
measure of daily work, IL they fined
or fired the shirker, 1 can see the day
when every employer in the land will
| hall the nearest union leader and say:
Come. unionize my plant"
THE unions have it in their power,
and now more than at any other time
in our Industrial history. to make
every employer eager to employ or
eanized labor. 1 can hear that en-
! ployer say: The union card Is the
iguarantee of efficiency. 1 will employ
Tno men without it. l would no more
hire a man without it than 1 would
accept a dollar without the govern
ment stamp!
| "Tbe effort to promote industrial
peace and prosperity" continued the
Secretary, must come from both sides
alike, from enlightened employer and
from awakened worker, union or nom
union. No group on either side can
nut itself above the law and maintain
ito existence. And by law we mean
the laws of prosperity as well as the
laws of the civil code. The public
will not tolerate infraction of either
set Of laws"
More Confidence Needed.
\ The country is not in an unhappy
condition, Secretary Davis pointed out.
II only thinks 1t is. There should be
more cheerfulness and confidence.
Though six months ago men in the
strongest positions were shaking
their heads, looking back the con-
ditions can be better observed. The
great body of the public after an
orgy of extravaganza. when every one
was making big money and tossing
il broadcast, had a sudden change of
heart and refused to buy at all. The
public, he said, began to repent of its
wild tear. We all passed through a
| serious period of war, and when 1t
was ended, and the forces came back
victorious, the people were in mood
| to celebrate. They did.
! "Yet, as is the way with human ma
ture. we overdid the thing" he as
serted. I'VE spent too lavishly and
we began to repent Of our rashness.
We ceased to buy at all, or
at least at the rate of high prices
brought about by the war. That
| stoppage came with suddenness that
frightened the merchant. He saw his
store full of goods. but empty OF
customers. Nothing was left him but

RADIO COMPASS STATIONS
DIRECT WARSHIPS IN FOG
Trip From Hampton Roads to Bos-
ton Made Without Sighting
Lights or Fixed Aids.

A remarkable demonstration Of the
peace-time value of the radio COM
pass, war development. was fur
nished during the recent passage of
Battleship Division Of the At
lantic Fleet from Hampton Roads to
Boston, according to an announce
ment at the :avy Department. The
entire voyage was made in heavy
fog and navigation all the way was
by shore radio compass
stations, submarine bells and sound
inss, not a light or fixed aid to navi-
CATION being sighted on the trip.
From the time departure was
taken until. Boston lightship was
picked up not a light vessel or light
house was seen," says a report from
Vice Admiral H. P. Jones, command
ing the battleship force. THE fog
was so dense that during most of the
passage the ships astern of the divi-
sion flagship were invisible.
Had it not been for the radio COM
pass situation the arrival of Battleship
Division would have been greatly
delayed. This practical demonstra-
ton of radio-direction finding is a
clear indication of the military value
of radio compass stations and of the
necessity for continued development
along this line"
Radio compass stations have now
been established along the coasts so
that vessel at sea in foggy weather
can communicate with the stations and
in a few minutes establish their cor
rect position. About $500 ships now
receive the service each month, 1t

FARMING INSTRUCTION
GIVEN NEGRO SCHOOLS

Special attention has been given to
tions among negroes. as a result OF
cooperative agreement between the
states relations service of the De-
partment Of Agriculture and the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education.
1t has been realized that the negro
teachers are in need of all the assist
ance possible.
Two courses. of study, one In plant
production and the other in animal
production. were prepared by the De-
partment Of Agriculture following in
vestigations into the problems, con-
ditions and facilities of the negro
schools. A specialist in agricultural
instruction was first detailed to visit
the school where agriculture was
taught. The methods and practices
used by the teachers were observed
and available facilities noted. The
Gus states were considered. In the
plan OF the lessons, seasonal sequence
was followed. and no lessons which
were not adapted to southern condi-
ton were included.
Further work in connection with
these courses Of study was done
through conferences held at both
Hampton and Tuskegee institutes.
A large number of the leading negro
agricultural teachers for the south
attended. Instruction in the practical
application Of the two courses was
given to the teachers, who are now
using them extensively.

Those who have talked with him in the past

by his earnestncss in the undertaking he has now

There is another point which is not to be over
