cannon which discharge thousands of
birdshot at a time and bring down as
many as 800 ducks each time one is
fired, are in the hands of the agents.

residents of Smiths and Tangier Is
lands, two Chesapeake Bay points.
Steel said Federal and State men
counted 81 illegal duck traps in one
small area, each capable of captur-
ing 60 birds. When found, they had
ducks in them. These traps alone were
estimated by him to have taken toll
of $4,000 ducks a year, and there were
dozens of other traps in operation, he
said.

the largest of any month since Autumn of 1880. Compared with February in 1883, the increase works out nearly B per cent. The National Industrial Conference Board recently gave out the estimate that, compared with March 1933 the number of unemployed has been reduced 3158000 23a4 per cent Payrols last month in establishments reporting to the Labor Bureau exceeded 1884 by IA per cent and greater by Il per cent than in 1883; they much the largest monthly figures since June of 1881.
 These comparisons give only one indication of the change that has been coming the industrial scene. The change has been gradual, but mere glance at the figures above cited serves to indicate how considerable distance has been travelled to- ward a normal status. There is good deal more of ground to before the manufacturing em- ployment even of such years as 1923 1924 and 1925 would be restored Taking the average employment of those three years 100, the Bureaus percentage index number for last month only SIP. But in the Spring of 1883 and the Summer of 1881 it fell below 59

To those who mourning the absence Of sustained and substantial economic recovery, some interest ought to be imparted by last weeks De- partment of Labor report on February employment. The Bureaus monthly employment index" is some times waved aside as providing no fair criterion of basic industrial conditions because the greater in in number of active laborers the argument usually runs) has occurred in public works But featuring industries; it therefore excludes all gov- ernmental relief projects" Increase in working forces of those enterprises would have to be added to whatever of gain should be reported by the factory employment figures"
 What this latest monthly return shows, then, is that employment in manufacturing establishments was the largest of any February since 1930 Not only so, but, except for last April and May it was

THE LEVIATHAN RETIRES.

Thousands of the A. E. F. who were transported to France the famous Leviathan, and thousands of others who have been thrilled at the majestic sight she afforded coming into port will undoubtedly regret the passing from active service of this great and historic ship
 Twenty-one years old this year. this one time queen of the oceans through an agreement between Secretary Roper and the United States Lines, has been placed the retired list as too old and expensive
 Her place is to be taken by a ship, smaller but up to date, that will have a better chance of attracting passengers The United States Lines agreed to build the new ship in exchange for per- mission to withdraw the Leviathan
 In 1914, the Levathan the Vaterland great est of imperial Germanys liners When broke she at Hoboken pier, and there she tied until 1917 when the United States entered the con- flict The Government took her over, named her the Leviathan; transported 94965 troops to France in the vessel and returned 8O6O6
 When peace came, the Levathan turned to the United States. Reconditioned in 1922 oil-burner she returned to the seas in 1923, thereafter to carry more than r million pas sengers.
 The depression hit the Leviathan hard In 1884 sine carried only about 200 passengers a voyage, and of these transferred from other ships Her passenger capacity is 2,646.

Rewards.
(New York World Telegraph

We must be liberal in reward" Herbert Hoover says, ito those who add service material spiritual wealth to these homes"
 So liberal that there shall be no limit to the hundreds of millions of dollars an individual Amer ican may gather to himself as a reward for pro- vding those homes with automobiles, oil alum mum ware.
 So liberal that a grateful government shall pro- vide sanctuary in tax exempt securities for such part of these hundreds of millions of dollars as their may prefer to keep wholly unprofaned by income taxes.
 So liberal that the reward shall include the privilege of forming family holding companies to permit book transactions by which such income taxes as remain can be reduced.
 So liberal that government, without whose pro- lection rugged indvidualism" could never have reaped these colossal rewards, shall perpetuate a theory that great brains will give their best for any inducement short of unlimited right to take unto themselves all they get of the nations wealth.
 It's grand theory Grand Old Party tured and nursed it for many years. Nevertheless, it's pretty sick theory today.
 The Hoover scale of liberal rewards had its innings and produced it's evidence. Recoil from that evidence has swung inevitably to the other extreme and produced-a Huey Long.
