Restoring Wnfer Foqcl

THE Bureau of Biological Survey is laying
] particular stress these days on the posi-
bility Of small water areas serving to bring
about restored abundance of wild water fowl
in the United States. The aid of local bird
lovers, hunters and others is being enlisted in
a movement to dot the United States with
small sanctuaries where the birds can mate
and raise their young or can find rest during
the periods of migration. Particularly. the
possibility is being stressed of effective breed
ing areas through the location of dams on
little streams which would permit small water
areas running from few inches to not more
than three feet deep to be formed. Such areas.
if allowed to become marshes along their
edges and kept from grazing by cattle, would
make ideal homes for the birds. The estab-
fishing of hundreds and thousands of such
little ponds in various parts Of the country
would in a few years result in considerable
increase in the water fowl population. now
threatened with decimation because of huge
drainage projects and generally unsatisfactory
conditions in the natural breeding grounds.

ruler, lived, where the simplest artists mate

After Shan left her home he did not ever
have an opportunity of going back to gaze on

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Washington, Oct 6-(UP)-The president returned today from his most strenuous speaking tour SC encouraged by the effect of the flashing he gave the democratic party and what he termed the "falsehoods" of it's leaders that he expects to make another swing through the country.
 MT Hoover, in his swing into the cornbelt, was seen by possibly 2000,000 persons during the two day tour which marked the prcsl- dent as personally taking the of- fensive in his fight for reelection
 He was somewhat weary when he went to bed after his train stopped late last night at Johns town, Pa, where he greeted sev- eral thousand persons who had been standing for hours In chill ing rain. The president, accustomed to sitting at his desk all day long, has found it fatiguing to stand on his feet for long stretches. lean ing over the railing of his car to shake hands, and talking a great deal more than usual.
 But he felt 1t was worth 1t, even in the face of several un- toward incidents. Faint boos reached his ears at times. Occa- sionally. as in the street parade Tn Des Moines, there was silence. Small boys sometimes shouted "hooray for Roosevelt" At several stops children delighted in scream ing I've want beer" But such off, key incidents were either negligible in volume or childish pranks.
 As result of the cornbelt swing just com pleted, MT Hoover Is ex- pected to drive his s>re-electfon light with two main lines of attack. one will hold before the country the record of the democratic house under the leadership of Speaker John N. Garner.
 By their acts ye shall know them" the president said at Des Moines in describing those acts as in "reckless disregard to the safety of the country"
 The second line of attack will be defensive-an attempt to convince the country that democrats are wrong in saying the republican ad- minIstratiDn has neglected the suffering of depression victims. The party will be pictured as q defense against the raids on the dollar by the panic stricken In Europe. This was the reason the president struck so hard at what he called deliberate falsehoods' of his opponents.
 Just what territory would be GOV cred in the next contem plated cam paign trip was uncertain, but one swing was believed almost certain to include ohio and Indiana.
 The presidents homeward trip from Des Moines was a series or oyations with handshaking ana several brief impromptu speeches from the rear platform of his car. After entering Ohio the train stops became more frequent. At Canton, the special was running an hour behind time. .o

Washington, oct 6-UP)-Hir- osi Saito, new charge d'affaires ot the Japanese embassy and pr AL fred Sze, acting minister for China in Washington have much in com mon. Both speak English well, wlth scarcely a trace of accent. Both arc west ternized in dress and habits Both have spent much time In the United States. Both returned last week from the far east. But they represent states that are wag ing a diplomatic--if not physical war-and presumably will plead conflicting cases before the state department.
 Saito, young, slender, affects rnodish western clothes, smokes q popular brand of American cigar cts, wears q. close cropped mus tache. He is emblematic of the newer Japan, and has risen rapidly in his country's foreign service.
 He comes here at a difficult time which will test hls diplomacy. He ia fortunate in understanding west ern thought and ways. A new bit of American slang delights him. His latest find Is "knuckling down." He was surprised to learn that the term has it's origin in the juvenile game of marbles.
 Saito likes to dig up striking words and phrases. One of his new est Is "xenophobia," a word he uses to describe what he conside rs Chinese dislike of foreigners. He knows the tastes and weaknesses of some Americans. He sought to by observing:
 You must come out to the em- bassy and have q cocktail"
 Szc Is older than Saito and more dignified. He is also slender, but conservative in dress and habits He Is fond of books and quiet con scrvation. He was education ia Washington high schools and Cor nell University, and served here as minister from 1923 to 1926. He Wa6 In London last year when the Shanghai trouble started. He ef- fectively represented his country before the League of Nations but so strained his health that he was forced to retire temporarily.
