Certain Conditions
Govern killing Blue
Heron and Sheldrake

The department of inland fisheries
and game has made public. and is
sending to it's regular wardens. in
addition TO the State hatchery super
| intendents, the following letter IN
commissioner Parsons and official
order of the L. S. Department Of Az
riculture. Bureau of Biological Sur
vey. relating TO the killing of shell
drake and blue herons under certai IN
conditions.
Dear Mr.. Parsons:
There is enclosed copy OF the
order Of the Acting Secretary Of A.
ricuiture. dated November 81, 1924
permitting You and your regular
fuu-salaried employees to kill mer-
gansers and great blue herons on
/ waters inhabited by game fish in the
State of Maine for the purpose Of
protecting the game fish in such
waters. We believe this will provide
the necessary protection for your
game fish from the depredations of
these birds and at the same time will
not prove seriously injurious to the
species.
Your attention Is called TO one
provision OF this permit, namely.
that which prohibits the killing Of
herons In or near rookeries. During
the course OF the bureaus investiga-
ton as to the depredations OF the
birds in question, 1t was found that
on occasion, the birds had been killed
IN rookeries, and as this does not ap-
pear to be necessary in order to give
the fish proper protection, this pro-

L. S. Static Forecast
Urged By Radio Fans

Chicago, Nov. 2S-(By A. P.)-Hope
expressed by many radio fans that
the United States Weather burea U
would be able to forecast radio re-
ception conditions as IL does the
weather, has been given new impetus
by indications from bureau officials
that such predictions may be prac-
ticable. These officials point out
however, that the weather bureau
has not made any official investiga-
tons due to the fact that 1t has no
funds available to provide the facili-
ties and the personnel.
The weather bureau has received
many requests and suggestions from
radio enthusiasts urging that It I'M
dertake TO forecast static conditions.
I'VE fully appreciate that such
forecast would be popular AMI well
received" one official said in reply
to inquiries. Several Of our people
interested in radio in a personal way
have been making notes on radio
reception under varying weather
conditions. These fragmentary re-
ports and experiences lead Us to be-
lieve that radio-weather forecasts
for at least a day or two In advance
may be practicable. However, we
feel that 1t would be unwise to at
tempt q new work of this sort in q
hit -and-miss way and that 1t should
not be begun until the subject has
been studied thoroughly and syste-
maticalIy and we are convinced that
reliable and worthwhile service can
be given.

Compares Names
School Mortality
With That of i. S.

Commissioner a. o. Thomas Of the
department of education in the fifth
of n series of statements on the sub
ject, "Our Schools" issued Friday
said that in the Press Herald one
morning in late summer, about the
time the schools We're getting ready
to open. there appeared a group of
advertisements concerning certain
preparatory schools and colleges. and
with these advertisements occurred
n general supporting advertisement
or article which furnished a very
impressive statement in regard to
the tremendous school mortality
throughout the United States.
1T may be we'll herein to make a
comparison of the situation as it is
found in the United States In gen
eral and in Maine in particular" con-
tinued DR.. Thomas.

Evidently, the people of Maine be-
lieve that education Is essential
that our young people need their ma
, tive abilities reinforced by consistent
and persistent study. Maine is re-
: tanning a larger percentage of her
young people in her schools than
most of the other states. This brings
an added burden OF taxation in order
to support the increasing attendance
and the increase in numbers as we
advance in the grades. As to the
virtue OF this situation. there could
be little ground for argument.
