U. 5. Biological Survey Discusses Activities
 During Past Year

Discussing wild-life administra- ton from the national angle, Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, in his annual report which Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agric ture made public today, details the ac- tivities of the Bureau which in- clude wild-life research and con- servation, control operations, fur farming refuge establishment and maintenance, and enforcement of laws protecting wild life. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930.
 Research in the relationships habits, production, control and the conservation of wild life" says MT. Redington, lis essential and funda- mental. Reservations must be set aside for the longtime benefit of the wild life that is more and more being crowded off it's ancient, feed ing, breeding and resting grounds by increasing human occupa- tion
 Regulation Essential
 Regulation of the use and en- joyment of wild life is essential to the immediate welfare of species that would otherwise be hunted to the point of exter1nination.. Control operations directed to suppress the depredations of predatory wild ami mals may also be termed an essen- tial form of regulation, necessary both for the conservation of useful and harmless wild life and for eco- homie reasons as well.'
 The Bureau of Biological Survey conducts special wild-life surveys and cooperates with other bureaus organizations, and individuals as re- quested. This bureau also becomes clearing house for information on the needs, habits, control, propa- gation, and relationships of the various forms of vertebrate wild life other than the fishes. The prin- cipal activity of the bureau, from the time of it's organization 45 years ago. has been the study of the wild birds and mammals of the country extending, with the passage of years, to work for their conserva-

ton and control, and their propa- gation and utilization.
 Interest Is Increasing
 MT. Redington stresses the in- creasing interest in conservation which constantly makes it more evident that wild life administra- tors-Federal, State and local-must be ever alert for the welfare of the species under their guardianship. Their chief responsibility, he says, is to protect the wild life itself. They are the duly constituted guardians of the varieds species, and must be true to the trust inn posed upon them, having due re- gard for economic considerations. Tn spite of any pressure that may be exerted by organized groups and by individuals having special inter- est at stake," he says, "administra- tors should perform their duty fearlessly and without favor. Neces- sary measures for wild-life conser- vation or control must be taken when dictated by thorough and careful investigation and consider ation of all factors involved"
 Evidences of Progress
 MT. Redington cites as some of the evidences of progress the fact that during the year food-reSource surveys of proposed migratory-bird refuges have been completed on 189 units in 48 states, aggregating more than 3,700,000 acres, and their biological suitability determined, and that land-valuation surveys, preliminary to purchase agree ments, have been made on 40 of these units in "A States, involving approximately 1925 ,000 acres. As recommended by the Bi o o g Survey, the Migratory Bird Con- servation Commission has author ized the first two purchases of areas under the new migratory bird refuge program, and two addi- tional areas of public domain sim ilarly recommended for the same purpose have been reserved. In furtherance of the refuge program Congress authorized $250,000 for the establishment of the Cheyenne Bot toms (Kansas) Migratory Bird Re fuge, and surveys therefor were begun by the bureau under a spe- cial appropriation of $50,000.

ALASKA PARKS LURE SCENERY
 LOVERS NORTH
Never Disappoint, Says Na- tional Park Service
 Plan Betterments

Alaska, that once lured the sour dough with promises of gold, now is turing the summer visitors with promises of magnificent scenery and opportunities for keen enjoy ment. Often, the sourdough was disappointed; but the scenery lover will find all promises fulfilled even beyond his expectations.
 The National Park Service, the custodian of several of the most scenic areas in Alaska, is planning vigorously to push developments for the accommodation of visitors, says the annual report of the Director just made public.
 How High Is Up
 Mount Mckinley, in the national park of that name, is one Of the most spectacular mountains in the world. It is the highest mountain on the North American continent, and in fact rises higher above it's base than any mountain anywhere. The great peaks of the Andes and the Himalayas rise from bases already well up in altitude. Mckinley on the other hand, on its north and west sides, rears it's 20,300 feet of height from a base only 2,500 to 5000 feet high. It is the real answer to the question, How High Is Up?'
 Roads are being pushed rapidly into the park area, under the con- potent supervision of the Alaska Road Commission, which cooperates fully with the National Park Service in this work. A great highway. is planned from the park entrance, on the Alaska Railroad, to Mount Eielson, formerly known as Copper Mountain. Already 43 miles of this
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-12-02

highway, eventually to be TO miles in length, have been completed.
 Work on the following five miles along the side of mountain has necessarily been slow and difficult, but when completed this section will be one of the most scenic, af- fording the motorist an unexcelled view of Mount Mckinley and the great Muldrow Glacier.
 Perhaps the contrasts of Alaska delight almost as much as its scenery. Last year, with this great modern highway under construc- ton, an airplane service was intro duced as an experiment.. It proved exceedingly popular and gave visi- tors an opportunity to get a close up view of the mountains and their great glaciers that never could be obtained in any other way
 But while these modern means of travel care for the summer visitors, the park rangers in their winter patrols to protect the park animals from poachers, travel on snowshoes and by dog team. Last year 40 new individual summer pens for the dogs. were constructed of wire net ting, each dog being allowed a space 10 by Is feet with his own sleeping kennel at the rear of the pen. It is necessary to keep these animals in separate quarters, as they become restless and quarrel some during the summer when not used by the rangers.
 Sitka National Monument, an- other area under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, is at the present time the easiest of &C., cess, located as it is near Juneau and on the main steamship line. This little area, a beautiful natural
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-12-02

park, contains some of the finest existing totem poles of the Alaska Indians.
 The Glacier Bay and Katmal National Monuments are exceed ingly interesting areas, the first, as it's name implies, containing great tidewater glaciers and the other a volcanic region. Both are of great scientific interest, but neither is vet accessible to visitors.

 During the war of 1912 Tangler Island was the headquarters from which the British invaders oper- ated, The army that burned Wash ington was based on TaIfgier; so was the expedition that failed in it's attempt to capture Baltimore. The 10000 redcoats who took part in this attack were paraded on the beach at Tangier before the set sail and harangued by Joshua Thomas, famous colonial preacher of the island, who warned them that their expedition would fail and that many of them would be killed - two filled.
 Joshua Thomas is a legend of the island. In one spot in Chesapeake Bay the water is never rough, the Tangier folk say. because Thomas prayed over it, At another spot no fish are ever caught, because Thomas once found two fishermen fighting over the right to drop their lines there, and directed that no one should ever catch fish there again.
 Church Dominates Lives
 Thomas influence still prevails. The islands one church dominates the lives of the islanders as it's building dominates the skyline. A weekly prayer is offered for good catches by the fishing boats, and when boats come in with a good haul a thanksgiving service is held.
 No liquor can be had on Tangier. Some years ago 8. man opened saloon there. but the islanders de- scended on him, wrecked his place. knocked open his wine kegs and smashed his whiskey bottles. Tan gier was dry long before national prohibition.

Washington, Aug - Just flew miles down the Chesa peake Bay from the national capital lies fast fading bit of Americas colonial past - isolated Tangier Island. where there are neither automo- piles nor sophistication, where old customs and old methods of speech are preserved today just as they existed three centuries ago.
 In few more years Tangier Island will have become much like the rest of the country. The change has begun already. There is a nov ing picture theater on the island, and many of the inhabitants own radios. Most telling sign of all - the islanders daughters are wear
 But for the present, Tangier Island is still a unique outpost of the past, as unlike modern America as if it were on the other side of the world.
 Has 1900 Inhabitants
 Tangier Island is 22 miles across the bay from Onancock, Va, on the eastern shore. It is a narrow, sandy strip of land about a mile and a half in length, and it has 1900 in- habitants. Practically all of them gain living by catching fish, oysters and crabs.
 Most of them have never left the island. except for their brief fishing trips and most of them never will.
 Their town is one of the oldest settlements in the United States. In 1907 the island was discovered by Captain John Smith, and a few years later the old captain traded it for one overcoat. Both he and the purchaser, legend says, were dissatisfied with the trade; Captain Smith found the overcoat to be somewhat shopworn, and the pur- chaser came to feel that the island was not worth the price.
 Cornish Came in 1920
 At any rate, five families from Cornwall, in England. came to the island about 1920 -, just about the time that the Pilgrims were land ing at Plymouth Rock.

given only to those who can give a satisfactory reason for not wishing to have a child. A government com mission hears the woman's reasons and decides whether or not they are justified In most cases the abortion is permitted.
 Women Hesitate
 Of course, a good many women hesitate to bring their problems to these government clinics and thus rely on private physicians unauthor- ized to perform the operation. In consequence there are a certain number of illegal operations.
 Several years ago the government cinema, trust put out film called Abortion" and shown to adult audi ences here. That picture was inter esting reflection of the Communist viewpoint on the subject. It was a perfectly candid description of the processes of conception. birth and child care. with ample illustration Of the methods of birth control and abortion and the joys of motherhood and fatherhood. In other words, while the Soviets permit absolute freedom of knowledge and con- science in the matter, they at the same time urge a natural population increase.
 Indeed. the Soviet system provides a good many advantages to mothers which constitute 8. sort of bonus or subsidy and certainly go far to ex- plain why the birth rate has remain ed almost steady despite the legality of birth control. For instance, every working class woman receives two months vacation with full pay be- fore the birth of her child and two months after. In other words. the birth of every child into a, trade union home costs the state four months of wages.
