Alloy May Aid Ducks.

/ FAD poisoning. one of the most
devastating of the factors which
tend to deplete the numbers of wild
ducks, may yield to the research of
scientists. particularly if recent dis
coveries can be worked out on an in
dustrial basis.
Wild ducks often escape hunters
only to be poisoned fatally by lead shot
which they eat in dabbling for food in
marshy areas Waterfowl losses from
lead poisoning are common. and many
ducks die from eating only 4 or 5
lead pellets.
The slow, toxic action of the lead
first causes ducks to lose their power
of flight. and then their ability to
swim or walk. In this helpless condi-
tion, even should they survive the raw
ages Of poison, the birds are likely to
become victims OF the elements or of
predatorS. The Bureau of Biological
Survey called attention to this water
fowl menace in 1919 and pointed out
the hopelessness of any remedial meas
ure.
"All that can be DONE" said the
bureau then. lis to call attention to
the prevalence of lead poisoning and
to describe the cause and symptoms,
so that persons finding affected birds
may understand"

TYPES GOVERN TAN

Federal experts. As an example. the
following may be employed:
One ounce of calamine, ounce of
olive oil, 80 grains of tragacanth,
ounces of distilled water.
Congresses Of olive oil lust taken
from an icebox or wet dressings of a
cool or cold normal salve solution are
also useful.
In cases Of very severe nearly gen.
eralized sunburn. long immersion in a
tub containing normal salve ut body
temperature is most useful. In an
emergency, little less than 2 pounds
of table salt may be added to 10 cubic
feet of water.
In other words, to the ordinary. s.
foot tub filled IL inches with water at
body temperature, l-pound and IA
ounce package of table salt NAV be
added. During the time the patient
is in bed, the bedclothes should be ele-
waited on suitable frame and an
emulsion or oil compress used.

art museums. Obviously. 1t Is part
of their well-established educational
programs, for art museums have
ceGsed to be storehouses and have be-
come educational institutions-and of
the best sort. One of the first and
also one of the best handbooks of a
museum collection issued was that of
the Art Institute of Minneapolis at
the time that the late Joseph Breck
was director. This set a standard
and fixed type which such museums
as the Metropolitan in New York and
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, have
been glad to adopt and follow.
These handbooks, better than many
more comprehensive volumes, evidence
to the layman the comprehensive
character and scope of art. 1t is so
usual to associate art merely viii!
painting and sculpture. and In con-
nection with our own day, that to dis
cover it as in this Walters collection

ments, utensils for cooking, jewelry,
textiles and pottery must have

comprehension. Nothing can better
give true proportion to contemporary
movements or serve as better guide
to their evaluation 1t Is this back
ground of knowledge of the art of the
past that we sorely need in our young
country.
Reverting to the original Walters
collection. it is rather sad and regret
table that, because of lack of space
and the demands of works of supreme
importance, so few of the paintings
purchased by william T Walters are
now on view and so little reference
made to them in the new handbook
At present the weakest section of the
collective display is the department of
painting. Perhaps the paintings that
Mr.. Walters bought with so much zest
and admiration we're not great, meas
ured by the works of the masters of
the Renaissance. but they we're fully
representative of the school of the
period which in the history of art has
a place, and by no means an incon-
siderable one.
One may prefer the innovators, i'm
pressionists, post-impressionists and
those who trail after them, but we
should not forget that they had their
roots in this very soil and drew nur-
ture from it. Also something. it would
seem, might be due association. But
for William T. Walters the great
Walters Art Gallery of today would
probably not exist; therefore to his
memory and his choice a certain def
erence should be paid The work of
the French painters Of the last cen
tury-lS30 to l8s0-strongly infiu-
enced the art of America during this
period; it was the corner stone of the
Walters collection and a feature
thereof. 1t seems unfortunate. there
fore. that it should at the present
time be so slightly represented and so
almost completely ignored. But per-
haps We ask too much. None will
deny that bountiful feast is provided
through both gallery and handbook.
