came as Black was in SecluSton. He was believed preparing to reply, possibly in a radio address, to charges that he was and is 8 menl- Der of the Ku Klux Klan.
 At his first press conference n nearly two months, Ickes lashed the Black -Klan issue as a political fred herring.
 He made his statement when questioned by reporters about Blacks appointment.
 "You mean about the Ku Klux," Ickes interjected, "why don't you in- terview former President Hoover. He knows more about 1t than do."
 1ckes said the Klan supported Hoover and nobody seemed to worry about 1t, either"
 All Right For Hoover
 Ickes said that Hoover carried number of southern states in 1928 and "it was all right then"
 Tt showed the birth of a new liberalism in the south," reporter suggested.
 ''No, 1t showed that the same old red herring can be made to serve various purposes on different occa- sions," Ickes said.
 How outraged we can be-, you know, when we have a chance to gore the other fellows OK.

SKILLED HELP IS
 VERY NECESSARY
Conn. Manufact Need It Badly--Con. Fitzgerald
 Points Way
By GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR.

By GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Norwich, Conn.,, Sept. 30-(UP)- Thousands of Connecticut young men will get a "break" in industry and manufacturers will have com petent craftsmen if and when the state decides to adopt 8 plan of standards for apprentices in accord ance with the new federal legisla- ton introduced by Congressman William J. Fitzgerald, this city, and approved by the last congress.
 This mightiest of all bills affecting apprentices in all trades, already adopted by 45 states, will be of un- usual benefit to Connecticut, pri- marily a manufacturing state.
 With skilled labor at a premium here now, the new legislation would start machinery in motion to give state concerns thousands of new and skilled tradesmen.
 Purely Voluntary
 '"The whole thing is purely volun- tary on the part Of the state, the employer and the enploye," said the bulky, silver-haired representative from the second congressional dis trict, a former deputy state labor commissioner in charge of factory inspection.
 "In a nutshell it sets up standards by agreement between employer and apprentice in all branches of trades he explained" and in most agree ments, vocational education is in- cluded."
 Stressing that the bill calls for strictly voluntary action, the man who has fought labor's battles all his life, said it calls for state commit tee and a state plan, and any talk of the federal government moving in on private enterprise under the act is out of the question.

where no plume butcher dare molest

generations returned in steadily mount
ing numbers until the original pond
had to be enlarged into lake known
as Bird City today.
A rough census taken last year
showed about 10000 pairs of adult
birds. with an average of four young
sters to each pair "a population of
l2O, 600 individuals for Bird City.
Federal conservation laws have long
since halted the trade of the plume
hunters. The birds are safe along all
the coastal marshes of the Gulf of
Mexico. Yet nowhere else do they
gather in anything like the numbers in
which they flock to Bird City.
In commodious blinds that can be
moved to any part of the lake, Ned
McIlhenny now in his sixties,

many a wrestler might envy - some

From one such blind the writer of

indeed. Avery Islands salt mine was
me of the first Louisiana prizes to be
seized by the Union forces during the
Civil War. but the gardens growing in
the skim of soil atop the salt plug
were devastated. The McIlhennys
who returned from the war faced the
task of rebuilding wasted homestead.
Many of the returning soldiers, un-
able to find work. drifted off to far
places. Among these, one-time
McIlhenny retainer wandered to the
state of Tabasco, and, failing to find
fortune there, returned to Louisiana.
Struck by the beauty of Mexico's chile
plants, with their scarlet pods, he
brought few seeds as gift for the
McIlhenny garden.
During the bitter years of recon-
struction, the luxury of imported
spices had to be foregone; and the
McIlhennys compounded makeshift
condiment from their fiery pepper
pods. apples and vinegar. 1t is the
Tabasco Sauce of today.
AS the salt mine was restored to
production, acre upon acre of the
soil above it was grown to peppers.
Thus pepper and salt rebuilt the
McIlhenny fortune BY the early nine
ties, distinguished visitors from many
lands were once more guests of the
mansion that crowned the highest hill
of Avery Island.
One of these was a British viceroy
of India. Over the coffee cups one
night he told the story of Rajah of
Juraspore who, for the delight of a
favorite concubine, had built vast
f1ying-cage of bamboo. to which bril-
liantly plumaged birds from all parts
of the empire we're brought.
Ultimately the rajah died. His sue
cessor allowed the flying cage to rot
away. But the offspring of the inn
ported birds remained, though there

was no longer a bamboo lattice to
restrain them.
No one of the company listened
more attentively to this chance story
than did one of the sons of the house,
Edward Avery McIlhenny, blond
giant who could outswim, outrun, out
wrestle. outshoot, and out-paddle any
of the other youths of Iberia parish.
He was an amateur naturalist, and his
interest centered in the vanishing
snowy egret.
Already Ned McIlhenny had fought
for legislation to protect these birds.
Already he had imported from France
the first motion picture camera to be
brought to this country. that a per-
manent record of the fast disappearing
loveliness might be made before the
species was wholly exterminated. The
viceroy's story offered a real lead.
What had been achieved by spend
thrift rajah's wealth for the delight of
dancing girl should be duplicated for
the salvation of the snowy heron, if
the backing of fortune rebuilt by
pepper and salt could make it possible.
That same spring he went into the
swamps. searching for egret nests.
Only two could be found where once
there had been thousands, but out of
those two nests Ned McIlhenny took
seven half-fedged birds and brought
them to Avery Island where spacious
fying-cage of wood and wire had al
ready been built over a pond.
The seven captives soon became
tame enough to take food from the
fingers of their keepers. The next
spring three pairs of herons built nests,
while one lone bachelor bird looked
enviously on. Three broods of nest
lings were Matched and reared to
maturity. And then M'sieu Ned
staked the success of his experiment
upon the viceroy's story, and de-
stroyed the fiying-cage. With the fall
migration, the seven tame herons and
their dozen youngsters took wings for
South America. Would they return?
They did. They returned to raise
