For example, he was asked which OF the
various Secretaries who have held office
during the fifty-two years Of his service he
regarded as the best.
"It would III become mo, he replied, ito
express an opinion on that question, espe-
cially since many OF my friends are still

the number of game wardens, before the

for the next fiscal year for this purpose is
the same as the figure for this year, Con

clined to make increase.
How small this amount is In proportion
to the work to be done is shown by the fact
that the single State of Maryland will have
this year 100000 available for game pro
lection from hunting licenses. Maryland
has twenty-five game wardens, but when 1t

No Idea of Time Is Possible,
But Odd Facts Are Known

How many days are occupied in the trip
may never be known Most migrants fly al
night and rest in the day. or vice versa
but the plover fly both night and day. After
a short stop on the northern coast Of South
America they resume their Journey and
travel overland TO the pampas of Argentine
Here they remain from September to March

from the North ever nests in the South.
after six months vacation here the
piover starts back to the Arctic but by an
entirely different route. They cross north
western South America and tho Gulf OF
Mexico reaching the United states along
the coasts OF Louisiana and Texas Thence
they move slowly up the Mississippi Valley
and by early June are again at their nest
ing site on the Arctic coast The round
trip has taken the form Of an enormous
ellipse. with a minor axis OF 1000 miles and

year on account OF the extreme mildness Of
the winter. That accounts for the larGo
numbers of ducks in the Potomac River and
other Chesapeake Bay tributaries at the
present writing, although many ducks spent
the entire winter in these waters. The last
to come north are the swan.
The migration of birds has always been
full OF mystery and has fired the inagina
ton Of man Not more than hundred
years ago It was believed by many persons
living on the coasts Of the Mediterranean
Sea that wild ducks spent the winter on the
ocean bottom or in the mud, like frogs or
turtles.
Even to-day when science has taught
40 much about the flights of birds, and when
the marvellous routes travelled by MANY
birds have been mapped by the Biological
Survey based upon records extending over
nearly four decades there is much TO be
learned. Not only are the routes of some
birds still unknown, but nothing is definitely
known as to why birds migrate.
The case of the chimney swift is inter
esting because it shows how much is still to
be learned about some of the commonest
and most numerous OF our birds. They go
southwark in the fall in great numbers.
catching their food on the wing they go
and spending the nights In tall chimneys.
They slowly make their way toward the Gulf
Of Mexico, joining other bands as they go,
until finally the Gulf coast they appear
in anyriads.
All at once they disappear. Nobody knows
where they CO. Is IL any wonder that our
forefathers thought they went into the mud
under the sea? Toward the end of March
their twittering overhead liz heard, and they
are back again on the Gulf coast ready TO
begin their pilgrimase INTO the Northern
States The secret of their Ave months
hiding place is yet to he solved.

Flight of the Golden Pioyer
One of Natures Wonders

No account, however limited, of the mi
gratory birds of the North American Con
tinent would be complete without reference
TO that most marvellous of ali flights-the
yearly round "trip of the golden plover This
has been described by Wells w Cooke as
sistant biologist of the Biological Survey as
follows:
Its most striking characteristics are o.
single fight of 2.40O miles--the longest
known flight OF any bird--and an elliptical
migration route following different paths
for the spring and the fall migration. II
the first week of June the golden plover ar
rive at their breeding place on the barren
grounds above the Arctic Circle far beyond
the tree line. While the lakes are stiu ice
bound they build their shallow nests i'm the
moss only few inches above the frozen
ground
'As soon as the young are old enough to
care for themselves fall migration is begun
by trip TO the Labrador coast, where the
plover fatten for several weeks on the
abundant native fruits. Thence a short trip
across the Gulf OF st. Lawrence brings them
to Nova Scotia, the starting point OF their
extraordinary ocean flight due south 20 the
coast of South America, their objective
point. In fair weather the birds ny past
Bermuda without stopping. and many flocks
do not pause at the first OF the Antilles
but keep on to the larger islands and some
times even to the mainland of South Amer
lea, accomplishing the whole 2.400 miles

1t is a simple measure. 1t provides
that every hunter OF migratory birds shall
have a Federal license costing either so cents
or S1-the exact amount has not been deter
mined-which would be issued by post
masters In the form OF a stamp to be affixed
TO the State hunting license.
The Government experts in Washington
estimate that there are 100000 gunners In
the United States. and that about 1000. 900
of them TAKE out State hunting licenses

Physical Training for Boys

that they will be ready when the
