as the rapid decrease in migratory birds, to which it contributed. but fer which it was not totally re- lsponsible The. rapid development in the efficiency of aall arms and munitions and the invasion of game e-brceding areas by civiliza- tion, together with the increase in the number of hunters, have thus brought the American sports man and conservationist to the realization that if wildfowl shoot ing is to be preserved it must be as skilled sport and not in mass killing.
 It early became apparent, says the bureau, that the abuses of multiple-shell guns far exceeded the advantages to the true sports man. Magazine -shotguns holding five or six shells at loading, con- trihuted both to careless marks manship and to excessive destrhc- tion sof birds. The large-gauge guns had teen ruled out, but in their place, through mans ingenuity. had

having in mind the interest of spcItsmen now in possession of such guns, have agreed to cooperate in this conservation measure.
 The new amendment, recom- mended by the Biological Survey, adopted by the Secretary of Agri- culture, and approved by the Presi- dent on February 2, in accordance with the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, provides that migratory game birds may not be taken with or by means of any automatic loading or hand-operated repeating shotgun capable of holding more than three shells, the magazine of which has not been cut off, or plugged with one-piece metal or wooden filler, incapable of removal through the loading end thereof, so as tc reduce the capacity of said gun to not more than three shells at one loading.'
 Conservation Measure
 This regulation, said Secretary Wallace in forwarding the amend ment to the President, will be of "incalculable advantage in the pres ervation of our migratory water fowl The Secretary pointed out that the measure will deprive no one of the privilege of hunting such birds and will meet an ex- ceedingly spread demand throughout the country
 The demand for the action, it was said, was insistent and pretty generally made even by the sports men themselves, and was Inani- mously favored by conservationists.
 J. N. Darling ("Ding"), Biological Survey Chief, hailed the amend ment as an outstanding conserva- tion act. Pressure from all quart CTS" he explained, "has become exceedingly great during the last few years as the annual toll of the hunters, plus the natural causes, have threatened with eXtermina- ticn some of our choicest species among the migratory waterfowl groups and reduced to the danger point nearly all the varieties of ducks and geese popularly sought bv the hunters n N

 This reform in wildfowl hunting has long been advocated by sports men and conservationists and was made urgent by the alarming de- crease in the number of ducks, the release stated.
 The regulation, which becomes effective immediately, applies only to automatic loading or hand-op- erated repeating shotguns used in hunting ducks, geese and other migratory game birds. Users of these types of weapons are requir- ed to have the magazines stopped with Jugs that cannot be removed in the field, or must have the magazines cut down to the required shell capacity.

BYRNES SEES
BONUS VICTORY
NEXT SESSION
Representative Doughton States
That He Expects Bonus
Bill To BE Passed

Amid predictions of speedy pass
age. the controverted problem Of
the soldiers bonus surgeg to the
front this week among COMPRESSION
al leaders returning to the capital.
Speaker Rsyyrns said the issue
ought to be disposed of by Febru-
airy l, but declined to forecast def
nitely that it would be enacted over
veto.
Almost before he finished speak
ing, however, Senator Byrns, DEM
ocrat, South Carolina, left President
Roosevelt's Office with an unquali-
fed assertion that the compromise
bonus measure he and Senator
Steiwer, Republican, Oregon, have
introduced would override a veto.
/. That bill, providing for financing
tArough a federal bonus issue,
would give veterans 81 per cent of
the face value Of their adjusted ser
vice certificates and the full value if
they held them two years.
Back from a voyage to the Philip
pines, Speaker Byrns sat on a corn
er of his desk, a red carnation in
his lapel, and told reporters the
chances of enacting the bonus over
a veto would be strengthened if the
imitation element was removed.
The Patman bill, ready for a test
in the house January 10, would pay
off the bonus in $4,000, 100000 of
new money. Only by a narrow mar
gin in the senate was President
Roosevelt's veto of the plan upheld
last session.
Opponents of imitation already are
considering strategy for heading off
another house vote on it by press
ing forward with non-infationary
measure, one of the leaders in this
movement, Representative Vinson,
Democrat, Kentucky, arranged a
conference with Chairman Dough-
ton, Democrat. North Carolina, of
! the house ways and means commit
Wee, with the bonus as a topic.
Even before they met, however,
Doughton told reporters he expect
ed some bonus bill to be passed.
Chairman McReynolds, Democrat,
Tennessee, of the foreign affairs
committee held the same idea.

Tragedy In Virginia
North Carolina Man Drives Grey
hound Bus OFF River Bridge;
All Persons Drowned

One of the worst tragedies in the
history of the Greyhound Bus Com
pany occurred Sunday when bus
carrying Is passengers, and posi-
bly, more, was driven off an open
draw bridge near Hopewell, The
bridge had been open to allow a
boat to 60 by and the guard
gates were up. The bus crashed
through the gates and plunged into
the icy waters below. Only one man
was brought out alive and he died
shortly thereafter.
It is thought that the bus driver
was unable to stop the car because
of frozen brakes, but that is a
mystery that viii probably never
be solved. There was no way Of
identifying the people on the bus
since q record is not kept of all who
ride buses.
Rescue work was carried on all
Of Sunday night and Identification
went on Monday. Every glass in
the bus was broken out and it was
feared that some Of the passengers
might have washed on down. the
river.
The bus driver was resident of

Parkway Officials
Want More MOney
For Construction,
$1,000, 900 Initial Outlay Expected
To Be Exceeded Next Year
BY 100000

The National Park service said
Sat. it expected to spend $6,O00,-
900 to 100000 next year for new
construction on the Shenandoah
Great Smoky parkway.
The parkway was begun this
year with an initial $4,000, 900 out
lay.
If the second installment on the
scenic highway connecting the Vir-
GINA and North Carolina national
parks, builds as much as the first,
400 miles of the 500-mile parkway
would be completed or in advanced
construction by the end Of the
1867 fiscal year.
Park service officials, said with
the exceedingly favorable bids
submitted on the first links, 200
miles Of the parkway viii be built
with the initial allotment to the
project"
They added, however, that con-
tracts for some of the more diff
cult mountain top stretches are yet
to be let, especially in North Caro-
lina," and probably will increase
the average cost.
Authorities were not inclined to
be specific about sources Of the new
money. They are prohibited from
discussing matters subject to ap-
proval by the budget bureau.

money" was the answer to the
question of whether it was expected
