Golden Plover Fastest
Flyer in Crossing Sea

The routes of the different migra-
tory birds are as varied as the
birds themselves. Some fly down
the Atlantic coast to Florida where
they stop awhile in the tropics be-
fore continuing their over-water
hops to South America. Others fly
down the Mississippi valley and
continue southwark across the Gulf
Of Mexico. This route is, In fact,
one Of the most important, it being
reported to the biological survey
that during nearly eight months of
the year, literally night after night,
the air Is filed with countless thou
sands Of the migrating hordes,
bound for their unseen destinations.
The speed Of migrating birds va
ries greatly. Some never stop,
either by day OF, night, until their
destination is reached. Others loi-
ter lazily along, feeding as they go.
The fastest time made by any bird
on its migratory flight is that of the
golden plover, sea bird. This in
trepid traveller leaves it's summer
home in Nova Scotia and without
stop, flying almost entirely over wa
ter, comes to rest In South America
in a little over three days and three
nights.
Strangely enough. this same gold
en- plover returning to Nova Sco-
tia in the spring follows an entirely
different route from the one used
in the fall. Instead of flying north
ward across the Atlantic, it starts
westward across the Andes noun
tains, then up the coast until it
passes Central America. Continu-
ing northward, the plover spans
part of the Gulf of Mexico and flies
back to it's nesting grounds by way
of the Mississippi river valley.

Drastic Retrenchment
In CWA Planned
d Rehabilitation to Start Feb. Is,
Says Hopkins; Future Up
to Congress

Washington, Jan. 19.-the civil
works administration contemplates
a drastic rehabilitation among it's
workers, starting Feb. Is, which
substantially means dropping l.
100000 men every two weeks" Civ
il Works Administration Hopkins
said.
Hopkins said sufficient funds
least Hopkins said sufficient funds
were on hand to meet the CW.A
payroll at least up to Feb. 10. Any
activities of the civil works ad-
ministration after Feb. Is, he said,
will depend on whether congress ap-
propriates $350,OOO,O 900, as requested
by the president.
Hopkins repeated previous
statement that it is planned to con-
tinue CWiA until May 1, 1884. He
pointed out, however, that by that
time, CWA should be entirely "out
of business"
Order of Harry L. Hopkins, ma
tional CWA administrator, reduc-
ing working hours per week on
CWA and CWS project is believed
temporary by state CWA committee
m emberS.
Telegraphic copy of the Hopkins
order was received late Thursday
by Gov. Olson, state CWA chief,
just as he and the CWA commit
tee had announced that the stagger
system of employment in CWlA and
CWS work would be allowed in vir-
tually all of Minnesota.
The stagger plan here, the COVER
nor said,> will be administered on
an individual case basis rather than
through any rigid adherence to adj
ministration of the Hopkins order.

State Parkway System
Planned for Minnesota
Counties Can Designated Local
Roads for Inclusion, Says
N. w. Elsberg

Minnesota now has the legal ma
chinery for designating state
parkway system, part of which may
be formed by roads in Stearns
county, according to an announce
ment by N. w. Elsberg, state high
way commissioner.
Roads connecting a trunk high
way with a public park or recrea-
tional center outside the limits of
boroughs, villages or cities are
eligible for inclusion in the park
way system. Parkway roads can
be picked by county boards, sub
ject to the approval of the COM
missioner of highway and the COM
missioner of conservation.
When officially designated as a
state parkway. a road becomes
eligible to receive both state aid
and county aid benefits, at the dis
erection of the local board Of coun-
ty commissioners, Parkways are
the only roads which can be both
a state aid and county aid highway,
Mr.. Elsberg explained. State aid
roads receive the proceeds of the
state 1-mill road tax, while county
aid roads receive one-tnird Of the
state gasoline tax.
EFF future grants of Federal funds
for highways are made on the same
basis used in the past year, park
ways also will be eligible to re-
ceive federal help" Commissioner
Elsberg said. I'm fact, it was the
parkway policy Of the U. s. Bureau
of Roads which suggested the Min
nesota parkway plan.
1--WE hope that eventually we will
be able to show on our state high
way maps a distinctive parkway

American Was Inventor
of Engraving Process

The steel engraving industry owes
its success in producing postage
stamps and banknotes to the in
genuity of Jacob Perkins of Massa-
chusetts, who invented process for
transferring designs from the orig
inal die to q. steel plate, says a
writer in the Chicago Tribune. In
this process all of the character
istics which make line engraving
the pre-eminent method of repro
ducing designs are retained and the
resulting prints are as genuine en-
cravings as though the entire plate
of several hundred subjects had
been entirely engraved by hand.
To engrave the individual stamp
subjects on q plate would be pro-
hibitive from a standpoint of cost
and time.
Perkins saw his method made
obligatory in banknote printing and
in 1919 on the advice of the British
minister went to the officials Of the
Bank Of England. Here he had
less success, but knowing the merits
Of his invention be organized COM
pany to exploit the idea in Lon
don. Upon the advent of the post
age labels invented by a London
concern. the firm became con-
tractors for their manufacture. Thus
the first postage stamps. although
an English invention. were pro-
duced by an American process which
Is still used for all Of the securities,
paper money, and stamps Of the
United States.

With the loss Of their giant pivot

BUSINESS CONDITIONS TODAY
COMPARED WITH YEAR AGO

Ii you live in Colorado, Oklahoma
Alabama, Missouri, Illinois, Mime.
sofa, North Dakota, Pennsylvania
Maine, New Hampshire, MasSa'
chusetts, Connecticut or Rhodt
Island, the chances are that youl
business has gone down-hill during
the past twelve months.
If you live in California, Texas
South Carolina Or Kentucky, the
chances are that it has undergone
little or no change.
If you live in any of the re-
manning 81 states, your business
should be doing better.
These are the results Of survey
made by the United States News
Tnprovement-or lack of twas
measured by changes in actual pur-
chasing power. Allowance was made
for the fact that wholesale prices
advanced some ten per cent during
the year in question, so that g
dollar, in the light of a year ago
can buy only about ninety cents
worth of goods today. This obvious
ly gives a much truer picture Of
conditions than does a survey made
on dollar volume alone For ex-
ample, every state except Colorado
showed an advance in dollar trans
ference during the year-but wher
the ten per cent deduction was
made, but 81 states actually showed
substantial improvement.
Analysis of the survey, as tht
News points out, produces some very
interesting facts. In the improved
group are included the bulk of the
great agricultural states-Iowa
Kansas. Nebraska, etc. This was due
to two diverse factors: One, the
drought, which increased prices tt
