RARE GEESE NOW
IN NATIONAL zoo
Specimens Are Obtained
After Eight Years Search
by Scientists.

The only white checked geese In
captivity have Just been added to the
collection Of North American waterfowl
at the zoo here. They are among the
rarest of birds on this continent, and
zoo officials have been seeking speci-
mems for the past eight years without
success until within the past week.
Inc four birds pow at the park were
!ur warden for the United States Bio
Iogical Survey, WHO captured them last
spring as tiny goslings on Chichagoff
Island, southeast ALASKA.
Birds Are Scarce.
They are practically confined to the
Alexander archipelago, and even or
these islands they are not numerous
and remain there the year around
rarely venturing south with the other
geese They are the dark. coast
variety of the common Canada goose
which flies over Washington on its way
north in the spring. The entire family
goethe Canada goose itself, the
Hutchins goose, the caekling goose and
the white checked goose.
The new birds will be added to the
collection il the North American water
FOWL pond as soon as they recover from
the effects of their long journey tc
Washington.
The white checked geese are known
as the most devoted fathers and
mothers in the entire bird kingdom
Neither of the pair ever leaves She
gosllngs alone for a second during the
brooding period. When they move the
rather goes first, then the chicks, and
the mother briggs up the rear of the
party. They also are known as fierce
nghters during the time. This family
devotion is greater even than that
among other goose species, where i,

The greater part of North American
land 1oWl now are represented in the
collection, the most complete in the
world, according to Superintendent Hol-
lister Few of the sea fowl have been
secured-so that practically thirty
species are need before the bird family
will be complete.

chairman OF the committee. The per-
sonnel is made up of teachers who
took special course in modern lam
guage teaching at Columbia Uni
versity in preparation for the junior
high school work here.
The modern language course will
be introduced in the eighth grade of
the Junior high schools The direct
conversational method will be used
to give the pupils a foundation for
the more thorough modern language
course IN the senior high schools.
Prof. Samson pointed out that IT
would be easier for the pupils of the
junior high schools to learn the proper
pronunciation of the foreign lam
guage words than those in the senior
high schools. because they are
younger and their vocal organs are
not so difficult to train.

TRIBUTE TO w. H. MOYER
i BY WELFARE Lacquer

Tribute to the late William H.
Meyer. former superintendent of the
District of Columbia penal institu-
tlons, was paid by member of the
Prisoners Relief League at a recent
meeting of that body.
During the short time we have
been here under his administration" !"
said the speaker, I'VE have found a
man, rare, in his position, as is a
spring in a desert: one who dealt le-
niently with the men under his SUPER
vision, and whose slogan was a
square deal to every man who went
half way on that basis. He made
life in this institution easier for every
man who tried to make it easier for
himself.
He did his best to make the pres
ent conditions of these institutions
possible. What little freedom we
have now has been accomplished
through his tireless efforts, and we
all know how much it means to us.
A man admired by both citizens and
prisoners is dead, but not forgotten" :"

IN Immigration
Cheap Labor Comes Through
Mexican Border,

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-An influx
of cheap foreign labor, especially
from Mexico and China is being con-
sidered at a conference OF Secretary
Davis and officials of the immigration
Service. Methods of guarding the
Mexican border more closely were
gone over, and reports that European
immigrants were finding easy access
to this country through Cuba were
under discussion.
Within nine months, Secretary
Davis said. more than 10000 Mexi-
cans had entered the United States,
most of them finding their way to the
Michigan sugar beet fields. Although
their entry was legal, he said, only
a few Of them paid the So head tax
required. One Of the measures to be
employed as a result Of today's con
ference will be a stringent application
of this tax.
In the same period. Mr.. Davis said.
90 900 Canadians had crossed the
Northern border, but the tax had been
collected from all of them.

tries, and come Immediately TO the
