These bands are made of aluminium copper. and each carires serial number and the legend Notify Biological Sur vey Washington, D. C."
 In return for this favor the Survey will send to the hunter the information on file as to where and when the bird banded. At the opening of the 1928 nearly 20 stations were in operation for banding waterfowl. These stations extend from Maine and South Carolina on the At lantic coast to Washinton, Oregon and Cali fornia the Pacific There also stations in Canada and Alaska. More than 0.OO0 ducks and geese have been banded, and valuable in- formation as to feeding and flights has been ob- tained from reports sent in by hunters who have killed banded birds
 Most of the ducks coming to any particular locality are likely to come from or less the same region, north south, but there are records Of many east-and-west flights If hunter were fortunate enough to kill several banded birds in the course of few seasons, he might well have

Immigration from Mexico and Canada.
(New York Times. ]

In advocating further restriction of immgra- tion, with special reference to Mexicans and Canadians, the American Federation of Labor is following its traditional policy. It is also call ing to public notice again one of the most diff cult problems which Congress still has to face. Under the immigration restriction act of 1924 no quotas were established for immigrants from the countries Of the Western Hemisphere There was large increase in immigration from Mexico and Canada limitation was applied against Europe
 In the border States Mexican labor has be- come indispensable It is employed not only on puphc works and railroads. but widely on farms ana ranches The people of these States say that If Mexican immigration is restricted or halted they will suffer losses affecting the man of small means we'll as the large em- ployer. Hence they are vigorously opposed to MeAlcan quota Elsewhere there is belief that II Europeans are excluded, Mexieans should be likewise. The argument is that they bring the same low standards.

Football relations between the mil

because of the demand made by the
navy that the army abide by the
three-year rule.

entitled to represent the army in any
branch of sport regardless of the cx-
