HOUSE GIVEN
Wild LIFE ACT
S~anctuaries. Would Be
Provided for Birds
BY Measure

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-An ambi-
tion which the organized conserva-
ton wild-life protection forces Of the
United States has long cherished
seems about 20 be reslized.
Word has just been received that
the committee on agriculture OF the
house Of representatives. Gilbert M.
Haggen, chairman, has voted out fsv-
orably a bill which provides q def
mite federal policy for the establish
ment of inyiolate sznclaries for mi
gratory birds involving q financial
program for the acquisition and
maintenance Of such s~anctuaries.
According to this measure areas will
be leased or purchased whereon it
will be illegal AZ any time 20 kill
ducks, geese, or other migratory birds
protected under the bird treaty with
Canada.
The bill passed the senate last
spring and since that time has been
repcsirg in the committee on agri-
culture. The national committee on
wild-life legislation, representing all
the large conservation societies Of
the United States and the state de-
partmsnts Of conservation. has been
working since last September 70 IN
sure the success Of this new famous
Norbeck refuge bill. Members Of the
committee recently appeared before
General Lord Of the bureau Of
budget. and with the aid Of 4 number
Of their friends close to the admin
istration, brought the matter strong
Iy to the attention Of President Cool
idge, who now has given his approval.
The publicity section Of the nation
al committee on wild-life legislation
stated today that there is 4 splendid
chance for passing this important
measure during the remainder of the
short, crowded. session of congress
# the sportsmen, b~ird-lovsrs, and
other friends Of wild-life throughout
the country will at one write 20 their
representative in Washington urging
support Of the measure.
This is the statement given out BY
George Pratt. president Of the Amer
lean Forestry Association; Carlos
Avery, president Of the American
Game Protective Association; and
Seth Gorlon, conservation director ~

Saving Wasted Water.

The District budget contains an item
of $4,000 to be used in an intensive
survey designed to discover the sources
of water leakage in the city's distribu-
ton system and to plug up the holes.
1t is reasoned that this water, which
costs great deal of money to purify and
to pipe and pump into town, can be
turned to better uses than irrigating the
soil surrounding leaky joints in the
mains. It can be utilized to turn the
turbines at the hydroelectric plant that
furnishes current for running the
pumps, for instance, and it is far better
to keep surplus water in the reservoirs
than to allow it to go to waste. A
monetary saving of about $4,000 a
year, it is estimated, could be effected
by preventing excess leakage.
But, as paradoxical as it might SEEM
the saving of $4,000 a year by pre-
venting water leakage would actually
serve to reduce the Districts alleged
return" on its investment in the water
system. That is only one of the many
interesting features of the table that
has been prepared to show that the
District enjoys a return of 6.3 per cent
on the water system, as contrasted to
the return of 2.22 per cent received by
the United States Government.
In estimating the Districts return
ION basis of water used and unac-
counted for'-the only basis that is
computed-the United States Engineer
Office gives to the water used and
wasted by the District a monetary
value of $738,320, and this amount, con-
ceived as income and divided by the So
called investment of $11 ,713, 785. 80 in the
water plant, gives return of 6.3 per
cent. Now suppose. the water that is
wasted were saved instead. That would
cut down the water used and unac-
counted for by the District to an
amount valued at $415,120. And if this
Is conceived as the Districts income on
its investment, the return would be
3.54 per cent.
And this so-called return would be
even further reduced if there were some
attempt to divide the benefits of water
used and wasted in the prevention of
fire, street cleaning, public hydrants.
ETC., between the District and the Fed
eral establishment instead of consider
ing all such water used as a part of the
income enjoyed by the District of Co
lumbia on its water plant investment.
These conjectures are interesting but
unimportant. They are mentioned
merely as commentaries upon the
studied attempts of certain tabulators
to picture the. District as enjoying a
high return on its water plant invest
ment as contrasted to the relatively low
return received by the Federal Gov
eminent.

shrinks back, but whether he shrinks
or not they come on just the same and
no amount of tears can wipe them out.
They happened, that is all, and the
wise man bows his head in acquieScence.
The ancients called it Fate, today we
call it the course of events" or the
hand of Cod
The beauty of Greece had suffered
corruption, the power of Rome had
Shrunk long before Christianity came
into the picture. The evils of slavedom,
the cruelty of the rabble, the lack of
love and the grosSest animality every
where conspired to make the ancient
world, as we know the term, poor
place to live in. The success of Chris
tianity was partly due to the fact that
SO many people then knew this to be
so. Rome was ripe for its fall. We
call it ''animality," but that is a libel
on the beasts. When man turns to
his worst side, he becomes so far be-
meath the SpeechleSS creatures that
lions and tigers shun him, even to this
day. The medicine of Christianity was
a heroic draught, but mighty medi-
cine was needed.
Merejkowski presents an interesting
and brilliant picture of the pagan
world resisting and succumbing to the
religion of Jesus Christ. When one
finishes the story he feels that it must
have been so. Those who have studied
the history of Christianity through the
ages will recognize the wide research
incorporated into 1.-The Death of the

dialogue is exceedingly natural and goes
far toward making the characters real

described are unforgettable. The read

"of which the people were fondly mad"
One is reminded of the present-day
liquor question: 1.-THE fathers of the
church Numbered against it, the laws
of Rome interdicted it-naught availed:

The story Of "The Death of the
Gods" concerns itself with Julians

into the Egyptian and Greek mysteries.

cannot find-What man has not known
it to some extent? Belief is easy; it
is disbelief which is hard, and Jesus
knew this better than anybody, for He
said, Except We become as a little
child, We shall in nowise enter the king
dom of heaven"
The great merit of Dimitri Merejkow-
skis novel is that in it he brings out
to the full both sides of the struggle
for truth in the individual life. The
reader is presented with rare pageant
of ancient life, colorful. interesting; in
it lies the story of the Eternal Struggle
like a diamond set in rich lacquers.
But it is not a clear diamond. It is
clouded with the sorrow of the human
mind.

New Foot Ball HOnors
Won by Middle West

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Again the Middle West is supreme in
foot ball. The boys from the prairies
have taken the coonskins from the Har-
wards and the Princetons, and they
have Debated the claims of the Pacific
Coast to Saturday afternoon supremacy.
We have rebuked the South, too.
The only consolation for the East is
the victory of Colgate over Indiana, but
that is Cancelled by the defeat Of Col
gate by Wisconsin, the last team in
the conference. The humiliation Of the
HarVardS at the hands of Michigan
mace the Harvard-Yale game a classic
only IN the sense that reproduction
OF Aeschylus in the stadium by the
college Greek class is classic. Prince
ton, bewildered by Stages players, who
are not counted tough according to our
standards, must still nouriSh the tradi-
zion OF John and Edgar Allan Poe in
lieu OF contemporary triple threat
heroes,
What Illinois did to the Army will
bring little spiritual warmth to the cold
Winter on the Hudson. Neither could
the Navy save the honor of the East
against Carrideo. Volk and the rest of
the 1rishmen from South Bend.
Scarcely less profound was the NOR
LITIGATION of the Pacific Coast. Press
agents for the teams representing Far
West realtors had created a legend
about their players. They were super
men of Annie Besant's new race. and
they played intuitional foot ball and
trained on the weather. Notre Dame
exploded that legend by sending the
most inspired sunshine team, Southern
Can1ornia, to the showers. And Chicago

The Inevitable Seoffer.

With every great accomplishment OF
famous men there are always those to
deride it. Either from envy or from that
Unsuitable lust for publicity, the achieve
ment of notable feat brings with 1t
those who rush into print TO declare
their views, generally in opposition to
facts. 1t has been so with many an
invention and it Is SO with the flight
of Comdr. Richard E. Byrd over the
South Pole, an achievement which has
won worldwide acclaim. No sooner
had the dispatches of the naval officers
triumph reached civilization from the
bleak deafness of the coolest spot on
earth than a Norwegian explorer chal-
lenged the accuracy and the usefulness
of the discoveries made by the expedi-
ton. "a speculation in sensations"
shouts the critic from overseas. 1.-The
mountains described by Comdr. Byrd
are fantasy" he adds. And concludes
with "Byrd's statements on what he
saw do not inspire confidence"
1t seems pity that the Norwegians
with their proud list Of valorous deeds

of exploration should have among their
number one who is SO lacking in sports
manship. The late Roald Amundsen,
a Norwegian, took first rank with the
worlds greatest explorers and there
have been many others of the same
nationality whose names will never be
forgotten. Amundsen made some of
his contributions to science by drawing
heavily upon his personal resources to
finance his expeditions, but his COM
paratively recent triumphs, such as
flying from Spitzbergen to Alaska over
the North Pole, were accomplished
through the cooperation and financial
aid of an American.
Consequently, even in Norway, this
scoffer at Byrd's statements of condi-
tons found in the Antarctic will be
playing practically lone hand. The
feeling between Norwegian and Amer
lean explorers has always been most
friendly, and there are probably few, if
any, who will follow the lead of this
critic.
Comdr. Byrd has too many achieve
ments to his credit to be doubted, and
if his dispatches state that range
of mountains had to be crossed before
reaching the Polls, range of mountains
indeed was crossed. The derider of
this statement, who characterizes the
area described by Byrd as 'limitleSs
plateau" claims that the trip to the
Pole could easily be made by motor
cycle. There appears to be no reason
why he should not purchase a little
motor bike all of his own and some day
when he did not have much to do
put-put gayly to the Pole, if it is such
simple matter Certainly it would
be far less expensive and far more
spectacular than the undertaking so
successfully accomplished by the Ameri-
can naval officer.
