Eagle SNest, 7Feet Wide, Secured
Intact in Maryland for Museum

nest measures seven feet In diameter.
The nest Is lined with meadow grass.
The great interest in the stucture lies
in the intricate weaving of boughs
and sticks. these being laid with sys-
tenn which would do credit to human
intelligence. The larger boughs,
brought by the eagles. are at the bot
tom. giving place to smaller and
smaller twigs as the top of the nest,
about two feet higher. Is reached.
Birds OutdO Mans Efforts.
At several places stout sticks are
placed in the structure in an upright
position. to provide for stress. At
tempts to duplicate the weaving of
the eagles has resulted in a very
clumsy structure, in comparison with
the work of the birds.
The big nest is solidly constructed
able to bear the winds of stormy days
when it tossed eighty feet above the
river. The eagles would have occu-
pied the nest next year. it was de-
clared. adding to the structure al
ready made.
The instinct which lead the eagles
to place their sticks and boughs so
cleverly was marveled at by scientists
of the Smithsonian Institution, who
watched the Grating of the nest today
for transportation to Philadelphia.

The collector of Nhe nest said that
most people did not know of the ex
istence of so many bald eagles in the
vicinity of Washington. He has WIS.,

radius of thirty miles of Washington

BABY HIPPO SENDS OUT
CARDS FOR RECEPTION
AT THE zoo TOMORROW

Baby Hippo, the young son of MIR.
and Mrs. Hippo Of the Zoo, will be
ready to receive visitors at the lion
house in the Geological Park to-
morrow morning.
BY that time. Supt Hollister said
today. the mother of the newest ar
rival at the park-the young hippo
potamus born in the lion house last
Thursday. morning-will have be-
come less nervous and will be proud
to show her latest offspring.
The youngster, lusty infant of
some forty pounds, is doing well,
Mr.. Hollister said. and will probably
grew up 10 be a valuable addition to
the park collection. The sex of the
young hippopotamus has mot yet
been determined. however. as Mother
Hippo still for bids keepers to come
near her infant. Daddy Hippo is
quite unconcerned as he munches on
his daily meal of luscious grass and
hay. Another youngster. more or
less. cannot be allowed to interfere
with his daily routine of life.
Meanwhile the Zoo storks, who
brought the baby hippo TO this reser-
walton, are slowly recovering from
their strenuous labors of last Thurs.
day. There is talk of organizing an
emergency squad among the storks
for heavyweight babies, but union
hours appear to forbid such an Or
ganization.

The first bald eagles nest ever col
lected intact Is being Grated at the
National Museum for transportation
to the Academy of Natural Sciences
at Philadelphia. where it will form
the basis of huge group depicting
the life of our national bird.
The great nest, seven feet across,
was collected by Arthur s. Fisher of
this city at Broad Creek, Md, across
the river from Mount Vernon, who
will present it to the academy
Weighing 500 pounds. the nest is
the largest ever seen here. 1t was
located eighty feet from tie ground
in pin oak overlooking the Potomac
tackle to lower the nest.
Two Months In Making.
.Ir. Fisher visited fifteen nests in
the vicinity Of the National Capital
before he found this fine specimen
The birds had left the nest about
three weeks before. The nest was
built by the eagles in about two
months time, Mr.. Fisher estimates.
The greatest difficulty was encoun-
tered in getting the huge nest to the
ground without injury. but finally this
was accomplished, the eagles airy
home being lowered without disturb
ing a stick in the intricate structure
Attempts have been made in the past
10 cut down trees which held these
large nests. then collect the debris
and reconstruct the nest. but 1t has
been found impossible to duplicate

CITIZENS GET SAY
!. ON SHOW PERMITS
Commissioners Widen Scope
of Law Governing Outdoor
AmusementS.

Protests received by District off,
eials against the continued increase
and conduct of carnivals and open
air amusements in Washington has
resulted in an amendment by the
Commissioners to the police regula-
tions governing such performances.
The amendment stipulates that before
a permit to hold a carnival be issued,
that the consent of three-fourths of
the property owners in a stipula ted
vicinity of the lot or park on which
the carnival is to be staged must be
obtained.
The regulations heretofore have
been that the written permission only
of three-fourths of the resident
housekeepers in the block where the
carnival is to be conducted and In
the block or blocks confronting the
said block was needed.
The amendment, it is understood. is
aimed at carnivals using lots as spots
for commercial and profit making
reasons. and is intended, according to
an official of the District government.
to limit the number of carnivals or
similar entertainments in the city.
Numerous protests, it was stated
have been received from persons re-
siding near carnivals in the city at
present, which have resulted in the
action taken. Under the new scope.
not only the residents of the neigh
borhood, but also the property own
erS, when the resident is non-home-
owner, will be required.

WATERWAY HELD AID
! TO CHEAPER AUTOS

Great savings would be effected by
Washingtonians on freight on auto
mobiles if the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee deep waterways were in oper-
alton, said Representative W. W.
Chalmers of Ohio, addressing the City
Club luncheon forum yesterday.
He explained that at the present
time the cost of shipping automo-
ington is So per 100 pounds. or $50
for a car weighing 5000 pounds
with the st. Lawrence waterway
completed we could place these auto
mobiles aboard boat at Toledo or
Detroit and deliver them in WASH
rail cost" said Representative Chal-
mers.
There are about 10000 new auto
mobiles sold in the District of Co.
lumbia annually. so you business men
can readily estimate the saving that
be delivered here by boat. at one
tenth the rail cost. The water rate
averages two mills per ton mile, and
figuring a 3,000-mile haul, the cost
would be less than $40. The differ
.nce between this and the $50 rate
nually would mean a substantial saw
Ing for buyers of automobiles"
= Mr.. Chalmers also cited figures
pertaining to wheat consumption in
the District, pointing out that about
s500.00G could be saved annually by
the transportation of this product by
water instead of by rail. 1T now
costs so cents to ship 100 pounds of
-four from Chicago to Washington
by rail-" said Mr.. Chalmers. IF the
St Lawrence channel were ccmplet-
ed. the same flour could be shipped
here for half that price," He esti-
mated that 2.700,000 bushels of
wheat. Tor 100000 hundredweight of
flour. is consumed here annually, and
Explained that on that basis almost
4 half million dollars could be saved
by water transportation over rail
transportation.

HUGH ROSS FLASHY
 IN FIRST WORKOUT

Quite number of local fight fans invaded the drawing room of the Acorn A. c. yesterday to get a glimpse of Hughey Ross in his initial work out in preparation for his bout with Jack Delaney on April 10. Ross put on the mitts for three rounds with Vic Mclaughlin, Looey Bogash's spar ring partner, and never left doubt in the minds of the rubbernecls and wise crackers that he will prove a tough nut for, Champion Jack De- fancy.
 Ross displayed no effects of his jorney from Louisville and is sure to enter the ring in fine physical shape. Ross posted his forfeit yes terday with the Bridgeport Boxing Commission.
 Sam Driver and other critics as- sembled, after Ross one hour of ex- ercise, declared that the Kentuckian is just as fast and far more clever than when fighting here four or five years ago.
 Bogash Ready For Rather

The boxing "bugs" also had an op- portunity of gazing upon Looey Bo- gash in his workout for his bout with Augie Rather, slated on the Pioneer Club calendar for next Tuesday night. Bogash also went three fast rounds with Mclaughlin, in addition to punching the bag and indulging in his usual gymnastic exercise. Bo- Eash appears to be in superb condi- ticn and will enter the ring at not over 15S pounds, according to Joe Smith.
 Light Work for Delaney
 Over at the Columbia A. C.. Jack Delaney travelled through a light pro- gram. Jack hasn't a mark to show from his encounter with Jack Stone in Fall River the other night. Jack will get down to a strenuous grind next week. "I don't think I need any work to get me in shape, but Pm not going to take any risks with this fellow Ross. I saw him box when a ''kid" and haven't forgotten what others have now let slip from their memories-that he is a fighter

Old Sport s Say-So

One of the reasons why Georges Carpentier continues in the boxing game despite i'll health is the way that S200,00O he received for his battle with Dempsey has dwindled Manager DeScampS first took 25 per cent. and the government took half of the rest in taxes. This left Georges with about -75,00o to take back to France. The French gov ernment taxed him 10000 francs, and now the drop in the exchange value of the American dollar has cut into what was left, for Georges neglected to convert his money into francs. De-lars were worth four teen francs last summer, but now they are worth only eleven.
 This is good. You no doubt recall recent dispatches in which Eugene Criqui, French featherweight star. was quoted as saying that he hoped to get a championship battle with Johnny Klbane when that veteran champ ar
