SPECIMENS

Biological classes at the Key
West High School were given a
treat this morning when they

play.
The members of the classes first
saw the fish through the heavy

were taken upstairs to the plat
forms, which are laid over the
tanks and were afforded an OPP
lportunity of seeing the, inhabit-
ants of the tanks more clearly.

to pay a visit, which lasted about
As minutes, from 9:l5 to 10 o'clock,
and the visit of Class Number 2
lasted from 1890 o'clock until

Dove Hunting Good
In Last Four Days
Cold Weather Brings Many
Down; 81 Take Out Ii
censes; IL Gauge Shot
guns Used

Eighty seven persons have Sc
cured county dove hunting
licenses for the season which
closes November IS and good
hunting is reported within the
last four days with the recent
norther bringing down the fleet
birds.
Up until the present norther
hunting was poor, the shooters
report, and the amount of doves
may drop off again if the weather
abates up north but whenever a
cold spell comes down the doves
start migrating southwark.
Principal hunting spots in the
county are the Trumbo Island
property which is private prop
erty with privileges granted by
attorney T. e. Price for the COM
pany owning the land and the
scrubby grass especially on an
abandoned airport around Mara
thon, hunters say. The doves,
which are brown-colored with
black dots on the wings and a
black and white throat whirr
from the short grass and head
straight away at good speed.
This is the sport hunters delight.
Using a IL gauge shotgun (some
of them use 20 gaugel he tries his
ability. Doves perch atop poles
and trees also and some hunters
shoot them there but il is not
thought sporting.
Flocks will average around Is
or 20 with large flocks around SO

are found every season taking

Leaves For Miami
To Confer With Senator
Pepper On Water Project
Probability That Senator

Attendance At Confer
ence

Members of the City Council.
the Aqueduct Commission and
the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge District are today meet
mig with Senator Claude Pepper
at the McAllisier Hotel in Miami
10 discuss matters preiaining TO
the proposed pipe line from the

also a probability that Senator c.

ference.
Leaving Key West at an early
hour this morning were Mayor
Willard M. Albury, Chief Engi-

that Senator Pepper would be at
the McAllister Hotel in Miami.
and had fixed the hour for the
appointment at IL o'clock.
While the members of the visit
ing group had not been informed
as to the possible outcome of the
conference, IL was conjectured
that as the water situation in Key
West had been thoroughly set
forth in communications to the
senators and other government
officials, the conference may bring
the matter to the point where

coming BOARD
MEETS TONIGHT
BUILDING PERMITS TO BE
ONE OF MAIN TOPICS
TO BE DISCUSSED

Meeting of the Key West Zon-
ing Board has been called for this
evening at o'clock in the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
it is anticipated that an interest
ing session will be held.
Jack Long, secretary of the
board, said this morning that
there are a number of matters to
be considered and one of the most
important is the matter of per-
mits issued for construction work.
During the course of his talk,
Mr. Long said that it is the aim
of the board to have the permits
issued in conformity with the
price of the structure to be built,
and the most successful method
of procedure would be to have
the building inspector presented
with the plans or the structure
and it could be determined what
the cost of the structure would
be.
If this method of fixing the cost
of a building permit was follow
ed returns would be sufficient to
enable the coming board to en-
ploy a man to handle this end of
the business and pay him a suit
able salary.

FLAMINCO NOT
A GAME BIRD
RECENT SHOOTING OF ONE IN
KEY WEST HAS BEEN
REPORTED

Shooting of doves and other
birds classed as game is within
the law, when done in season, and
the hunter is provided with the
necessary license. But shooting
a flamingo is never anything but
breaking the law.
This disgraceful thing happened
about two weeks ago when sew
eral men in a car drove up to
Harry Beavers home on Stock
Island, and released from their
car a wounded flamingo and
drove off.
Mr.. Beaver took care of the
bird, fed it daily until it was
able to secure its own food, and
now it is in perfect condition to
do its own hunting for food, and
on the island finds plenty of the
kind of food it prefers.
However, the flamingo is one
of the birds which must be pro-
tected, and it is understood that
before being given permission to
KEEP one. consent of the Audi
bon Society must be gained. This,
TNr. Beaver will do. and as the
bird will never be able to fly with
its broken pinion, it is reasonable
to suppose that the wish will be
granted.
: A number of the same kind of
bird have been seen in the vi
cinity of Stock Island, Mr.. Beav-
er counting four of the breed in
one group. at the time the
wounded bird was left at his
home.

deportation came following a

Germany, realizing that this
