The Making

A movie within movie, depict
ing the neck-breaking stunts of the
film dare-devils in thrilling modern
day romance of the air and Holly
wood comes to the Oxford Theate
Sunday and Monday. with the OPP
ening of RKO Radio pictures epic
"The Lost Squadron" starring
Richard Dix. It is said to be his
most romantic and dangerous role
to date.
The film is Hollywood's answer
to the persistent public plea for an
action film based on the adventur-
Gus exploits of men counting dang
err for the sake of thrill it gives
them.
The thrills in the picture are
genuine. The author of the story,
Dick Grac, the screens king of
stunt aviators, makes three breath
less crackups-one into the ocean
and the other two are perpendicu-
lar power dives to the earth.
Cleared as it is to the tempo and
the unselfish camaraderie of men
in peril, the film nevertheless sup
ports a beautiful romance which
blooms into full flower out Of a
chaos of wrecked planes and
breathless tail spins.
"The Lost Squadron" Is the story
of an air picture in the making
The gay panoply of Hollywood's
great film industry Is revealed
most intimately. Great batteries OF
cameras fill the screen on occa,

Migration Urges Need for Houses
to Lure Singers

W AuTC oAASCIS
This is the time of the year for
homeowners to provide rent free
nesting boxes for wild birds, be-
cause the spring migration is bring
ing many old feathered friends up
from the south, says the Izaak Wal
ton League in a recent conserva-
ton bulletin on bird life. Although
the fun of attracting birds around
a home is a very worthwhile sport
and exceedingly interesting for
both adults and young, there are
even more fascinating angles to the
northward migration of birds which
brings fur feathered friends to our
yards, says the League.
For example, the familiar Ca
madam goose is easily one OF the
most spectacular migrants be-
cause it seems to know when the
thermometer registers IS degrees.
This bird, a perfect symbol of nil
grafton as it marches across the sky
in " shaped focks, reacts to what
the scientists call the isotherm of
IS degrees. In other words the
imaginary line drawn across the
United States where spring has
raised the temperature to IS above
zero seems to be the governing
factor in the wild goose's north
ward push toward its nesting
grounds. Therefore, the vanguard
of the honkers and the isotherm OF
35 degrees are travelling compan-
ions in. the spring throughout the
birds entire route.
In calling attention to many in
teresting things about the spring
migration of birds, the Conserva-
ton Department of the League
stresses the value of many birds in
reducing insect pests. The purple
martin which winters in South
America is a big factor in reducing
flying insects around a home, as it
is a tireless hunter" spending
many hours each day picking up
insects on the wing.

Sportsmen Urge u. 8. Heads Stop
Duck Meddling

That the federal government in
the future conf1ne its regula-
tons in behalf Of waterfowl to
major issues, such as designating
the opening and closing dates of a
maximum shooting season and the
maximum number of birds each
hunter may take or have in pos
session, has been recommended by
the board of directors of the Amer
lean Game Association, according
to announcement made today by
Seth Gordon president.
With improved breeding condi-
tions this spring, the board also
urged continuous waterfowl sea-
SON of not less than two months
for next fall, with the states haX-
ing full regulatory and inforce-
ment powers over the manner Of
taking the birds.
These recommendations sprang,
from the friction engendered among
wildfowl hunters last fall when
the Department Of Agriculture fix
ed q 30-day emergency season. The
duck hunters of many states got
little or no shooting, the short sea-
SON failing to coincide with the
southwark migration of waterfowl.
A short, concentrated hunting sea-
son was declared to he "unwise as
a general rule"
+ In the opinion of the board the
rightful function of the states In
regulating such details as rest days,
| restricted hours of shooting, use of
decoys, batting, type of guns and
placing of blinds and sink-hoxes
should not be interfered with by the
federal government.
The board recognized q shortage
of wild ducks, but declared that
athe future of waterfowl hunting
depends upon the active interest of
sportsmen in restoring and perpet-
uating the waterfowl supply. This
active interest in conservation de-

fish stocking work.
Fish And Rabbits Are Boon To
Needy
Under the supervision of Dir
ector w. D. Stewart and the Divi-
sion of Game and Fish, with the
cooperation of Sportsmen's groups,
civic organizations and interested
individuals, fish and rabbits play
ed an important part in the food
necessary to tide over needy per-
sons in MARI sections of the state
during the most severe periods of
the past winter. Game wardens
took an active part in this work
in every instance.
Rabbit hunts were staged and
the bag was distributed to persons
in need of food In the majority of
the many towns engaged in this
work, sides were chosen and con-
siderable fun and sport resulted
along with the good that was &C
complished.
An instance of the outstanding
success in the distribution of fish to
the needy was seen at Mankato.
On one occasion during the winter
five tons of fish were given out
free of charge. Only two hours
was required for the work, so well
was the endeavor organized.
Game Warden F. D. Freeman
was in charge. He had the assist
ance of members of the Elks
Lodge, Mr.. c. A. Nochbar, who
took immediate charge of the dis
tribution, and Lundeen Brothers
who donated the use of their
trucks. Members of the American
Legion also Tended their efforts in
a commendable manner.
What can be said about Mankato
is also true of a score or more of
towns in the state where similar
projects were successfully carried
out to the benefit of a large num-
Der of people.

BROWNIES PLANE BURST INTO FLAMES:
 AVIATOR FAILED OUT

SEATTLE, May 31. P}-Aviator Nathan c. Browne of New York had more trouble on his second at- tempt to get away on 9 flight to Japan from Seattle.
 After having made an unsuccess- ful start the first time Browne re- turned here and had taken off once again and was TefueIing his plane in the air when the hose from the refueling plane touched it and BroWne's plane burst into flames and it fell into Elliott Bay.
 Browne and his refuelng aide Frank Brooks bailed out pust as the flames began burst ing around them and their parachutes opened just before they hit the water.
 An witness said the big red monoplane which caught fire dis appeared as it struck water. Lou Snyder, who was watching the re- fueling operations said tn a t it seemed like several minutes before rescue boats finally reached the luckless plane occupants and haul ed them aboard a boat.
 The refueling plane which was piloted by frank Whaley pulled upward after the flames burst out in BroW'ne's plane and he landed on the Boeing airfield shortly af- ter. He said he was just ready to make contact with Browne's plane when the latter planes wing sud- denly folded up and dropped into the bay.
 Browne put his plane into the air at 12::33 D. m. Monday after pre- viously failing to get into the air because of dirt in the gasoline.
 He had made tests with the re- fueler first over Queen Anne Hill but seemed to be having trouble in making contact. The two planes then went over the Sound to the north of Queen Anne when the plane crashed into the bay.

HOOVER DENOUNCEs
 CONSTRUCTION PLAN
 IF SPEAKER GARNER

WASHINGTON, D. c. May 30, - In one of the most forceful state mentS of his public career, Presi- dent Hoover denounced Speaker John Gamers two billion dollar public construction plan, calling it the most gigantic pork barrel ever proposed to an American Con- gress," and a raid upon the treas ury.
 The President made prepared statement to the press from his desk. Tn criticizing the public works feature of the Garner plans, which entails bond issue, the President approved others. The urgent Ques- ton is to balance the budget and maintain the governments fnan- cial stability, he said.
 When that is accomplished, I propose to support adequate mea- SuraS for relief of distress and un- employment" Hoover said. He said the public will scorn the public building portion of the Garner plan. Many of these projects, have heretofore been discredited by Congress because of useless eX- travagance involved Many were originally authorized as justified only in distant future" he said.
 Not twenty per cent of the pro- jects could be rushed so as to pro- vide employment during the next twelve months, he said. If $4OO,- 100000 of buildings should be started, it would provide work for only 100000 men. The aggressive tone of the Presidents statement indicated the determination to take the lead in the last critical week of election year of the Congressional session.
