from three months to the month of September, for Alaska, is be- cause of severe drought of the last two years affecting the rear ing of young birds on breeding grounds. The Biological Survey says that protests are being wired in from all sections of the coun- try, but that no change will be made in the regulation, which Canada is also expected to adopt. The President is very much in terested in this matter and feels that the sportsmen and people generally should cooperate to avoid the calamity of extermina- tion.

Professor Would Take
Laurels From Ericsson

Another patriotic myth has been
forced to lower Its colors In the face
OF careful historical research, writes
William E. Rae In a Boston paper.
The popular conceit that the United
states led the rest Of the world In the
Introduction Of ironclad warships and
that the dramatic combat between the
Monitor and the Merrimac began this
revolution In naval architecture which
transformed navies the world over,
receives no countenance from Prof.
James Phinney Baxter. assistant pro-
lessor OF history at Harvard and
master OF the seventh house to be
built under Haryard's new house plan.
"The dramatic qualities OF this first
fight between ironclads have led
Americans ever since to exaggerate the
effects OF the battles OF Hampton
Roads" Professor Baxter says. An
examination OF manuscript material
IN Paris. London and Washington
shows clearly that France, not the
United States, played the leading role
In the introduction OF ironclads. -
