zoo CONDOR LAYS
SECOND $75D EGG
Domestic Hen viii Try to
Hatch Latest Contribu-
ton of Rare Bird.

An egg worth $750-the second she
produced this year-is the latest con.
:ribution of the California condor.
resident in the Geological Park here.
The precious egg will be confided to
the incubating care of a domestic
hen in the hope that a condor chick
may be Matched from it,.
The great value put upon the egg
results from the rarity of the Cali
fornia condor The female and two
males in the Zoo, with a younger
bird held in the zoo in Los Angeles,
are believed to be the only specimens
of this almost extinct bird in captiv-
ity. and it is thought that there are
not more than a hundred individuals
left in a wild state in southern and
Lower California. Eventual extinction
seems almost inevitable, though this
vuiture once swarmed over the area
between Lower California and the
columbia River in Oregon. Great
numbers of fossil bones found in the
Ia Brea area prove that the condor
was very common as far back as the
Pleistocene.
Like Goose Egg.
The egg just laid in the Zoo resem-
bleS a goose egg in shape and appear
ance measuring 4 inches or more in
length and being of a flat white color.
This is the fifth egg laid by this bird
in the 20 years it has lived in the Zoo.
Formerly the eggs were left with the
bird for incubation, but she succeeded
in breaking them all accidentally. 1t
was for that reason that the egg laid
six weeks ago was taken from her and
conf1ded to hen for II days, when it
was found to be infertile. It Is un-
usual for the condor to lay more than
one egg a year. The breeding season
extends from January to March.
The condor is related to the turkey
vulture or turkey buZZard and feeds
largely upon carrion. 1t averages 4
feet in length and weighs from 20 to
% pounds. It's outstanding character
istic is it's great wing spread of more
than feet, which makes it one of the
most powerful flyers among feathered
creatures.
The general plumage of the. condor
is black with lighter markings about
the wings. The head and upper neck
are bald, the skin being brilliantly
tinted in grange and red. On the neck
below a ruff stands out like a collar.
Male and female are alike in their
markings.
The early prospectors Of California
we're in the habit of using the wing
duiii, vL tEs Eondor to carry their gold
dust. 1t IS interesting to note that the
Indians of Central America used wing
quilts of various large birds for the
same purpose centuries ago.

Bright and early Saturday morn
ing thousands Of fans will gather at
Bedford, Muncie, Ft. Wayne, Green
castle, Kokomo, Martinsville, Rush
Vile and South Bend to watch the
opening games at 10. o'clock.
Only sixteen teams can emerge
winners in the eight centers, and
these sixteen then will be ready for
the last and greatest test-the State
finals to be played in indianapolis,
March 10 and 20.
Victory in the sectionals did not.
mean a rest for the victors. They
have been hard at work all week.
Today that training is completed
and the $40 boys who make up the
teams are as aready for the next
round as physical training and good
coaching can make them.
Strong Ones Meet
BY a trick of fate in the draw
several of the stronger squads in
the State will be thrown together
in this preliminary round OF fight
ing and the number Of favorites for
the title thereby reduced.
Marion or Kokomo must fall by
the wayside at the Kokomo regional.
If these clubs win their first game
they will meet in the final contest
Saturday night 1t is probably the
outstanding battle of the regional
play.
Plenty of other good ones will be
on tap over the State including the
Vincennes- Washington scrap at Bed
ford
The pace in the regionals will be
fast and many Of the so-called dark
horse quintets that survived the
opening round will be called upon to
demonstrate that they are equal to
the task of staying in the race.

Indiana often has been accused
Of being basketball crazy and this
