American Eagle Is
 Fast Disappearing
Audubon Association in Back of Federal Legislation
 For Protection of National Emblem

our national emblem by act of the Continental Congress on June 20, 1782, and has been used through out our history as our national seal, on coins, coats of arms, stamps and various emblems. lf the question be raised, "Why pro- tect the Bald Eagle? ?" as well ask. "Why protect our fag?" Both are symbolic of our sovereignty and our independence as 8 nation.
 Left in Only Few States
 "Its increasing rarity and the likelihood of its complete exter- imitation are az reasons for cx- tending federal protection to this famous bird. In former times it was widely distributed as nesting species, but has now become rare or is missing from a large part of it's earlier range. With ad- vancing civilization, suitable nest ing sites have been destroyed and 1t has been driven from many of it's feeding grounds by the con- stant presence of boats and people and by the pollution of water. So rare has it become that in only three or four states in Union may it now be seen with any degree of frequency"
 The statement concludes: "For sentimental or esthetic reasons alone, the American Eagle should be preserved for posterity. This magnificent bird not only seems a fitting symbol of valor and of pow CT, and as such serves to represent the spirit of our national inde- pendence, but it also impresses one as the very embodiment of the primeval wilderness and is Q source of enjoyment and inspira- ton to that ever increasing num- Der of persons who enjoy wild life for it's own sake. To all such, It's extermination would represent an irreparable loss. It is with these thoughts in mind that the Audu- bon Association has recently launched a campaign to protect the Bald Eagle, and is backing House Bill HR 5271 to the support of which all patriotic citizens and those who appreciate wildlife should rally. Unless such action is speedily taken 1t may very soon come to pass that our children

" Though immediate picketing of any individual barber shops was not announced today, spokesmef for the journeymen barbers said that picketing signs were already being printed and would be ready for use at any time.

If a note of boosting can be detected these days in the cackling of "Biddy," pet Leg horn hen of Donate Coviello of 486 Walnut street exten- sion, it can be accepted with out criticism and laid to a real accomplishment. Weigh ing but three pounds on the wettest day of the year. Bid dy" surprised her owner on Wednesday of this week by presenting him with an egg as large as an over-sized duck egg.
 But the phenomena does not end there, because the day before, Biddy had left her nest with a guilty feeling as she hurried to a far corner of the barn yard to engage in a bit of scratching the soil. Her owner upon inspecting the nest, discovered that Biddy's best efforts had produced an egg about the size of a large sized marble and just about as round.
 When Mir Coviello discover ed the over-sized egg the day following, he wondered for awhile and then smiled to him. self. "Just a bit previous to Easter" he thought.

ESCAPES TRAIN;
 INJURED IN FALL
Stamford Man Wanders About During Night;
 At Hospital To-day

Injured as he jumped from the railroad tracks a mile north oi Thomaston to escape an oncomtne train, Joseph Flanders, SO, who gave his address at 551 Main street, Stamford, wandered about Thom- aston from 8 o'clock last night un- til early this morning, when he hailed a ride from passing mos torist. The driver took Flanders to Waterbury hospital, where he was found to be suffering from severe decorations of the forehead and nose. It was first feared that the Stamford man had suffered a skull fracture, but x-rays failed to re- veal any such injury.
 Weakened by the loss of blood, Flanders walked into the emer- gency room of the hospital at 6 o'clock this morning. He was inn mediately given treatment and placed under hospital care. The hospital reported this noon that the mans injuries were not be- lieved to be serious, but that he wo i'd be kept at the institution for further observation.
 At first unable to tell what had happened, Flanders later related that he was walking along the railroad track beyond Thomas ton, when he heard the whistle of an approaching train. Seeking to avoid being hit, he leaped into bank alongside the tracks as the train roared past. In the fall down the bank, he received the injuries about the face and head.
 Not knowing where to go, Fland- CTS wandered about Thomaston all last night. With the coming of dawn this morning he began hail. ing motorists coming in the direc- tion of Waterbury and finally car stopped and the driver, seeing Flanders condition, rushed him to hospital.

When the Philadelphia Sym.
phony Orchestra, under the di.
rection of Otto Klemperor, ap-
pears Thursday night in ConSti-
tuition Hall, the popular Bee
thoven Symphony No. 3 will be
featured.
This symphony, also known
as the "Eroica," was composed in
1904 and given its first public
performance in Vienna in 1905.
Beethoven had written a dedica-
tory statement to Napoleon
Bonaparte. But before the SYM
phony was publicly dedicated to
Napoleon, Beethoven learned
that Napoleon had proclaimed
himself emperor, which so in
furiated the composer that he
never again would mention the
emperor'S name.
Beethoven in later life simply
stated that he had written the
"Eroica" to cele brate the
memory of a great man.
The first movement is in
waltz time throughout and
opens with the first theme
shown above. While the theme
uses bugle tones, it is introduced
by the 'celloS.
The theme is reminiscent of
nameless tune that young blades
frequently use on the street
when they wish to embarraSs
another who may be stepping
out with his best girl. The
custom is to pick up the rhythm
of the victims step and whistle
the tune.
The theme is presented in
many different forms and by
various sections over a dozen
times. Because of the bugle
tones it is particularly effective
when played by the brass instru.
mentS.
The second movement in a
contrasting mood is a funeral
march, using the rhythm COM
mon to most funeral marches.

POPE HONORED
HERE ON 18TH
ANNIVERSARY

Officials and diplomatic Wash.
ington today Joined with the rest
of the world in celebrating the
thirteenth annual observance OF
the coronation of Pope Plus X1.
The National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception at Cath
ole University was filled with
hundreds of members Of the dlplo-
matte corps, Government officials,
members of Congress and mem
bers of the faculty and student
body of the university who at
tended the Pontifical high mass
marking the celebration.
The Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni
Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to
the United States, gave the ApoS-
tolic blessing to the congregation.
Rev. HyIand Celebrant
The Very Rev. Francis E. Hy-
land, jed, secretary to the
Apostolic delegation, was the cele-
brant at the mass, assisted by
the Rev. Father Henley as deacon
and the Rev. Father Posik as sub
deacon.
The Rev. Father Edward Roel-
ker was master of ceremonies at
the imposing service, at which
the university choir chanted the
mass.
The Most Rev. Hugh C. Boyle,
Bishop of Pittsburgh, preached
a sermon concentrating the
occasion, and extended to the
Apostolic Delegate congratula-
tions on the anniversary of the
coronation.
Taking as his sermon Il shall
pray for thee that thy faith fail
not" Bishop Boyle said:
1--WE are all disturbed by the
vision of a world which for the
first time in Western civiliza-
ton seems to be determined,
as to some of its nations, to
go its own way without refer
ence to supernatural faith or
to the implications of super
natural faith"
The Christian faith, he pointed
out, offered a plan for human
society which society, group by
group, has accepted and which
has built up our system of civil
3ation and government.
Religion Essential
Progress, culture, are impossible
without religion, the Bishop
pointed out in urging that all ma
tions remain steadfast in their
faith.
Pope Plus XII, the two hundred
and siXtieth successor of st. Peter
was born in Italy May 81, 1857,
and was ordained a priest in 1879
He was appointed apostolic visitor
to Poland in 1918 and made a
bishop that year.
In June, 1921, he was made
cardinal archbishop of Milan and
on February 6, 1922, was elected
Pope, his coronation taking place
six days later.
Intensely interested in science
Pope Plus is the first Pontiff ever
