Speaking in response to a
toast offered by Muhadin Bey,
Boardman delighted Turkish
guests by telling why he selected
Istanbul as the terminus Of his
flight. He said:
"There are two principal rea-
sons why chose this city.
The first was that Turkey has
always captured my imagina-
tiOn. / wanted to see your
country and the stirring changes
which are taking place. The
second was that IStanbul is
geographically situated as one
of the natural goals to strive
for from New York on a flight
around the world. AS aviation
develops Istanbul will be one
of the great air terminals of
the world"

Polando then explained how he
had been chosen for the flight:
"One day at home in Boston

TO fly to IStanbul and carry as

Branch of the Department Of
Commerce had nearly one hum

interested in planes or trans

factor. Ford, Autogiro, Fokker,

Stinson and Fairchild were
among those represented.

T. S. Surrey Hunters Protect FIR Animals.

CHARGES recently made by the American
- Society Of Mammalogists that the pred
atory mammal hunters Of the Biological Survey
Of the Department Of Agriculture have destroyed
much valuable meat and fur-bearing game dur
ing the course of their work has brought not
only vigorous defense Of the hunters by DR..
Paul G. Redington, head of the survey, but a
discussion Of the efforts being made by the
hunters to keep down the destruction of valu-
able game and domestic stock by the wolves,
mountain lions and other predatory animals
Of the country.
For 16 years the experts of the survey have
been waging an unceasing warfare on the larger
predators and the noxious rodents-pTairie dogs,
pocket gopheTs, ground squirrels and such
animals. The damage TO crops by the smaller
animals runs into tremendous sums annually
and their control or elimination is an economic
necessity. Few, If any, complaints have come
from the large grain areas, where the work Of
the hunters is appreciated even If occasionally
a game animal of beneficial type falls victim TO
the control measures.
OF the larger animals. the coyote is the princi-
pal foe Of live stock and such game ms deer,
mountain sheep and ground-nesting birds. DR..
Redington, IN denying that q campaign Of
really wen acquainted with the coyote realizes
an animal as the coyote. AlKthat his hunters
seek to do IL TO protect live stock.
The complaints against the survey hunters
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-06-14

lie principally IN the use they make Of poisons
in their fight. It is claimed that such valuable
fur bearing animals as the skunk, badger, mink
and marten fall victims of the letEaal bats
which are placed for coyotes. No doubt there
are occasional victims but no extensive reports
to this effect have been received However, as
there is always danger that some other than
the intended victim will fan before poisoned
bait, the survey is studying and peTfecting bet
ter methods. The other two principal methods
Of determination are through trapping and
shooting, with den destruction also aiding
The use Of poison bats is, Of course, more
humane than trapping and when poison is
used every effort Is made to place the bats IN
such q manner that they wiz hardly be found
or attainable by other animals than the in
tended victims.
There have been numerous instances of
poisoning Of beaver, however, but the survey
is quick to deny responsibility. In the entire
field force Of the survey there are employed but
800 hunters, while 1t Is estimated that 1900
other individuals engaged in the hunting Of
beaver fur are using poison bats Efforts are
being made to secure the cooperation of the
Raw Fur Trade Institute members in tiiscOur-
aging the practice Of the fur hunters who resort
to poison. It is the fur hunters activity and
the fur hunters complaint, because they see
in the coyote hide q salAble fur, that DR.. Red
ington believes Is largely responsible for the
complaints unjustly lrid against the Biological
Surveys hunters.
