For the trumpeter swan and the
whooping crane protection came too
late.
That is one reason why we should
protect species which seem to be
dwindling before they get to the rag
ged edge-we should protect them
early enough so they will not be SO
rare that the next generation of hunt
ers Will kill them by mistake. not
knowing what they are.
The Federal Government has de-
clared a closed season on the wood
duck, considered by SO many to be
the most beautifully colored bird ma
tive to this country. Hunters are do
ing good work in observing this law,
but still many wood ducks are killed
every year by mistake. It's dffhcult
for the amateur especially, to distin-
guish between this and other ducks
when they are on the wing.
The antelope are about gone. There
are some on the sage hills OF Wyo-
ming. think there is little doubt but
that some of these fine animals are
killed every year by hunters who mis-
take them for deer, especially if the
hunters have not been in this country
very long.
These things argue for the protec-
ton of species in time to save them.
The situation is something like that
of the elk of Wyoming. Protection
has come to the elk in time to save
them. But the plight Of the indi-
vidual elk that starve to death is Sig
nificant. When an elk reaches GER
tain stage OF starvation, he cannot be
saved He may be able to walk, and
apparently he can be saved by hay.
But to feed him hay s disastrous. To
feed him anything is disastrous. He
is a doomed elk.
All of which indicates that wild
animals are not like domesticated
ones. They can't be brought back
when they are on their last legs.
We are advised by somebody with a
hand for statistics that pocket 60
piers and ground squirrels eat $780,
900 tons of grass a year in Arizona
alone.
Perhaps It was the same man who
figured out that the ground squirrel
will eat $40 pine seeds in "A hours.
and that the chipmunk accounts for
237 in the same length of time. The
tests were made at the forest expert
ment station at Flagstaff, Ariz.
Rocky Mountain National Park in
Colorado, with a visiting list of ga
211 people, was the most popular park
| last year. Hot Springs comes next
with 1918 visitors, and Mount Raj
nier is a close third, with 1sl,473.
Four others of the parks-Yellow-
stone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and
Platt-each We're seen by more than
a hundred thousand visitors, and six
of the parks showed a travel increase
| of % per cent or more.

The writer realizes that it is a
pretty tough job to get a relay meet
started. but the need has been appar-
ent in this section and it was clear
that some one had to make the start.
So Rice has undertaken the task.
In the way of resources there is,
first, very fine Rice spirit, which was
signally exemplified on the foot ball
gridiron last Fall, and, second, there
is the city of Houston with it's 100000
population with a superb climate for
early training.
Rice has a corkirg quarter-m mile
track and a 220-yard, -straightaway.
Drake in the Middle West has estab-
lished the relay idea in that section
and in the far South Georgia Tech has
gone over the top iHspirited fashion.
The track coach at Rice is John P.
Nicholson, who coached track at
Sewanee for seven years and before
that was a famous University of Mis-
souri, athlete champion hurdler and
high jumper with the American Olym-
pic team about IL years ago.
Nicholson is in charge of the details
of the meet and this insures that they
will be run up to the hilt.
Members of the southwestern con-
ference will help the whole athletic
system OF their section Ry rallylhe
with hearty good will to The support
of this project.
For some time now Yale alumni in
the Middle West have been engaged
in the task of interesting students
of the Midwestern secondary schools
in Yale as a place of higher educa-
ton. No Eastern university has a
better organization for this work
which is conducted with the greatest
enthusiasm.
