and every variety Of firearms are
barred from the park in which the
lake IS located, from the time the
ducks begin coming In until they have
left in the spring.
Due to this protection, an annually
increasing number Of ducks are now
actually remaining every summer to
nest and rear their young In reed
grown corners Of the lake, where they
are rigidly protected and fed all the
year round. The result Is that May
and June see many families of ducks
on this lake, In the midst Of the best
residential section Of Oakland.
The young of these city-bred birds,
urged By nature to return to their
birthplace fop their own nesting the
year following their birth, naturally
increase the namber of resident ducks
on Lake Merritt, mt,s in time there
will be large flock Of permanent
birds In the city.
The first wild ducks to arrive In
the autumn are pintails, which begin
to settle down on the lake by the
last week of August, and by the first
Of September are on hand by thou
sands. The majority of these come
from the klamath lake reservation
near the border line of California and
Oregon. The pintails are the most
clannlsh Of ducks, flocking together
In large "rafts" on the lake, feeding
together In flocks. and parading up
and down the lawns In regiments.
They are almost us fearless as the
mallard-sald to be the ancestor Of
the domestic auckland soon lose all
fear Of man.
The second autumn flight Of ducks
includes pitfalls, widgeons, teals, shov-
elers, and mallnrds. This migratory
horde comes about the middle of DC.
tober, and from much farther north
than the klamath reservation, the
movement having its origin In that
part OF Alaska known as "the fats"
consisting Of about 800 square miles
of marshlands In the vicinity Of Circle
City and Rampant. AS the feeding
and nesting grounds become frozen,
the ducks start southwark, and the
time Of their arrival, of course, de-
ponds to some extent on the weather
conditions on "the fats" This flight
is much larger than the first, and
brings the bulk Of the birds to Lake
Merritt.
There Is a third and last flight,
which comes from even farther north,
starting In the Yukon delta. In this
flight come myriads Of shore birds, a
few Of which visit Lake Merritt, but
the most of which hunt the mud flats
farther south, along the coast Of Cal
ifornia, Lower California, Mexico, and
Central and South America. Travel
ers In this flight begin to arrive
shortly after October 18th, and thou
sands Of them go to their favorite
feeding grounds In the vast marshes
between San Francisco and Sacrament
to. This flight ends the arrivals, and

AERIAL POLO IS NEW SPORT

tainment In Florida.

Aerial polo is the latest sport. One
Of the chief features Of an entertain
ment given by the American Legion at
Miami, Fla, was a game of polo
staged high in the air, sans mallets,
sans ponies. sans ball. sans everything
except a dozen nimble aviators and
saveral dozen toy balloons.
Every sort of twist from the Immel-
mann turn to the maple-leaf drop is
called into play during the contest
Here is what happens: A m0torboat
loaded with the many-colored balloons
of the proverbial country fair plows
out into the harbor and drops anchor.
From nearby hangers come galloping
dozen Pegasuses. They take the
air, and when they are equidistant
from the launch, at a safe altitude,
the little balloons are released and 20
soaring upward in great confusion on
the wind.
The air rider who captures the
greatest number Is declared the win
ner. The Legion pilots who tried 1t
said that 1t used to be easier catching

which the S275,O00,0O00 previously ap-
propriated by congress has been put.
Up to December 81, $212,077,246 had
been put to work in projects either en-
tirely complete or under construction.
To match that amount the states ap-
propriated $685., 379,312, making total
Of S497 ,456.55S.
If placed end to end the roads to be
paid for by this money would encircle
the earth at the equator and extend as
far as from New York to San Fran
cisco on the second lap. The total
mileage of roads under construction
and completed, the departments rec
ords show, was approximately 270oo
miles. OF this milage 9,555 miles was
in projects entirely completed. The
balance Of 17,445 miles was in projects
which were still under construction
but reported 60 per cent complete oc-
toSer 81. In those projects there was
the equivalent Of $4,000 miles of com
pleted roads, so That the completed
road to date was more than 2l,0OO
miles, or nearly enough to encircle
the globe.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no active part in the
road construction of the country. To-
day about one-half Of all roads under
construction are being aided financial
ly by the federal government, and the
construction is subject to inspection
and approval of federal engineers.

the ducks remain on Lake Merritt I'M
til well In February, seeming 10 know
by some physical barometer Of their
own, Just when the ice is going out
In the Yukon, so that they are safe
In starting northward.
Study of the birds on Lake Merritt
has developed some very interesting
facts. For instance, when the ducks
first arrived they were least afraid
of the attendant who fed them. and
finally lost fear of him altogether,
playing about his feet and eating from
his hands like poultry in barnyard.
This attendant has evolved shrii
whistle, at sound of which the ducks
from all parts Of the lake will come
flying at top speed tumbling like
divers on the grass in front of him
to receive their food.
1t was also fog.h>t that the ducks,
even Co the first day hf their arrival,
were absolutely unafrald of an auto
mobile. If a human being on foot
dlsturbs them when they are on the
land, or when on the water close to
shore, they are still not frightened
enough to take flight. The appearance
Of a dog, however, even at distance
Is sufficient to send all the ducks rush
Inc 70 ccaSs to"othar IN r"fts in tho
center of the lake. The result Of this
last discovery is new ordinance
forbidding the taking Of any dog to
the park during the time of the fes-
tival.
BY the time the festival Is held,
midway of the season of the ducks
In Oakland, the birds, of course, have
lost all fear Of human beings, either
on foot, or in automobiles, since they
are accustomed to the visits of thou-
sands of men, women, and children
every Sunday. Even during the pag-
cant, however. the log boom across
the upper end of the lake remains
closed, and the boats are not allowed
In the part of the lake reserved for
the birds, so that young ducks, or those
which are new to the lake and all the
people, may retreat to the center Of
this preserve and there remain ua-
disturbed.
What first attracted these Wild
ducks to Oakland for the winter has
never been satisfactorily explained
As a general rule, wild ducks shun
civilization; they seem to sense
danger. That Is why the hunter uses
decoys and blinds In his effort to
bag them. At first only few ducks
dropped into Lake Merritt on their
way from the north, and as they were
not annoyed by the hunters gunshot,
dogs or other enemies, they remained
for the winter. The number of feath-
cred visitors has increased each year
until the present tremendous focks.
Under the present federal migratory
bird law the birds now have a chance
to hold their own and even to increase.
They cooperate with man by taking
every advantage Of protection with
almost human intelligence.
