BIOLOGIST TALKS
OF EAGLE SECRETS
Dr.. Herrick, in Address, Dis
closes Family History of
Great American Birds.

Family secrets of the American eagle
we're disclosed to members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society last night by
DR.. Francis H. Herrick, professor emer-
titus of biology at Western Reserve Uni
versity, who by means of tall steel tow
ers has been spying upon nests OF the
national bird near the shores Of Lake
Erie, in Ohio.
Eagles are long-lived and frequent the
same neighborhood for many years, DR.
Herrick said. In some cases their nests
are huge structures. One near Yer
million, Ohio, which was destroyed by
storm, was found to weigh tons. II
had level surface with a area of ap-
proximately SO square feet and it was
IL feet deep. When first constructed il
had been much smaller, but from tc
inches of new construction was added
each year and at the time of its de-
struction it had been in use for sc
years.
Birds Know Family Home.
After the collapse of this great nest
with its half-hatched eggs the birds
began building a new one nearby anc
within a few weeks were occupying it
It was near this and succeeding nest
that DR.. Herrick erected his observation
a platform on top of the tower DR.. Her
rick and his assistants kept continue,
watch on the nests and made motion
pictures The resulting film Is one OF
the most complete records ever made OF
the development of young birds.
DR.. Herrick's observations showed that
in the well regulated eagle family the
two parent birds co-operated fully
working together in the building of the
nest, sitting on the eggs by shifts, and
bringing food for the young eaglets
Fish is a favorite food of the American
eagle and his nests are usually in neigh
borhoods near lakes and oceans. In ad-
dition to fish the eagles bring to their
nests rabbits, rats, muskrats, chickens
and small birds.
Now and then, it was found, incom-
patibility develops in an eagle family
In one case the male became lazy and
failed to do his share of the family work
and was driven away by the female, who
completed the rearing of the family. In
another case ne'er-do-Well male tired
of his family obligations and left. Later
he returned and sat through an entire
morning on limb beside the female and
then disappeared for several days after
which he paid his old home another
passive visit.
Female Not Inclined to WidOwhOOd.
When a male eagle dies the femals
Immediately goes in search of a sue
cessor and brings him to the old nest.
When a female dies the male remains
in the neighborhood until he is sought
out by another female. When the young
eaglets have learned to fly they are
driven away from the region by their
parents.
DR.. Herrick made inquiries from old
settlers near VeRnillion and found that
the present, nest of the pair of eagles
near that town is the sixth which has
been built in a small area since 1910. It
is believed that these six nests were all
built by the same birds or successive
mates. Eagles have been known to live
for more than hundred years.

plane was so much lighter without the
instructor that it did not come down
as it had on dual flights"
Lost in Landing.
II had to give 1t the gun and fly
around for another trial. The second
time. was little too high, and went
around to try once more. I was so
interested in my efforts to land that
forgot to keep my mind on where I was
going, and for a moment I was lost.
Then located the field again, and on
the third trial was able to get down"

CHERRY BLOSSOMS
Park Authorities Make Spe-
ciaI Arrangements to Play
Host to Visitors.
RAINBOW FOUNTAIN
TO OPERATE TOMORROW
Special Traffic Regulations Made to
Take Care of Sightseeing
Throngs.

Anticipating record-breaking crowd
of sightSeers around the Tidal Basin
in Potomac Park tomorrow, to see the
cherry blossoms the ONCE of Public
Buildings and Public Parks today made
special arrangements to play host.
For the first time this season, the
rainbow fountain, near Seventeenth
street. will be turned on tomorrow for
the benefit Of the public and will play
from 10 o'clock in the, morning
until pm.
Capt. Ray c. Montgomery, u. S. A.,
superintendent of the United States
park police, said today that the same
traffic arrangements will be in force
tomorrow as obtained last Sunday. The
traffic will be anti-clockwise around the
Tidal Basin, travelling in one direction
only. Traffic coming down Seventeenth
street will turn to the right at the fork
in the road near the John Paul Jones
Statue and continue on around the
Tidal Basin.
Arrangements for Golfers.
For the benefit of golfers in particu-
lar, the cinder road between the Rail-
road Bridge and the Tourists Camp will
be made a two-way thoroughfare, en-
abling motorists to turn to the left out
of the stream of southbound traffic to
get to the field house in East Potomac
Park. Hitherto this cinder road has
been one-way street.
Capt. p. j. Carroll of the United
States park police, explained that all
his men will be on duty tomorrow to
handle the crowd. On both sides of the
polo field there will be one-way traffic,
all southerly, moving in the direction
of Hams Point. This means that reg
ular traffic regulations in that vicinity
will be suspended tomorrow to handle
the crowds of cars that will travel into
Potomac Park.
Special Buss Service.
The one-way traffic around the Tidal
Basin will be in effect from 10 o'clock
in the morning until dark Special
buses will be run by a commercial
concern from Seventeenth and B
streets tomorrow, Capt. Carol said. to
enable those without automobiles to see
the blossoms.
Capt. Carroll said that the traffic
during the week now closing has been
heavier through the week than at any
time he remembers. While last Sun
days crowd did not measure up to that
of previous years, the park police are
looking for larger crowd tomorrow
than ever before. This is attributed to
the increased publicity given the
cherry blossoms and the fact that the
movies and radio carry the message all
over the country. Capt Carroll has
noticed particularly the great numbers
of out-of-town cars that are now in
Washington and they have been max
ing trips down to Potomac Park, 81
that their occupants may view the
/ cherry blossoms, which are considered
to be at their best now.
