house on Sunday numbered $50,

Superintendent w. w. Demeritt,
VINO said that there were that
many names registered in the
book kept at the light for the reg

Mr.. Demeritt told The Citizen
that there have frequently been
a large number of visitors at the
light and aviary, which are on the
grounds of the superintendent
residence on Whitehead street,
but as the number seemed larger
than usual he would personally
take the record.
Every registrant's name was
counted and they totalled just
356, and Mr.. Demeritt believes
that there were a number of visi-
tor at the station who possibly
did not register.

Great White Heron Rapid
ly Increasing, According
To Report Made By De-
partment
by Washington Correspondent

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 7.

by Washington Correspondent
of The Key West Citizenl
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 7.
Aerial surveys made during
late 1888 of the Great White
Heron Refuge and the Key West
Bird Refuge indicate. officials of
the U. S. Biology Survey claim.
that the number of wild birds on
these areas is increasing.
The sanctuary offered by the
Great White Heron Refuge. which
was established as a Federal
refuge by Presidential order on
October 81. 1888. gives promise
that the Great White Heron will
increase so that once again it
will be seen in considerable num-
bers all over the Florida Keys.
The Great White Heron Refuge
consists of a number of small is
lands extending 60 miles off the
tip of Florida in Monroe County,
and covering 1000 acres of land.
1t is the only remaining habitat
of the White Heron, according to
bird experts here.
In January of 1888 an aerial
survey resulted in a count of 585
of these birds. The previous high
count was 426. Later in the year
the January total was augmented
by more than 20 additional birds.
With the complete protection
now given the White Heron,
Fedreal officials SAID. at may
again become common Slgnt IN
the Florida Keys within the next
few years..
The white-crowned pigeon is
also increasing in numbers in this
area.
Biological Survey reports moro
nesting than ever before in the
Key West Bird Refuge, establish
ed in 1908 and consisting of 2O30
acres on Cottrell, Merle, Mullet,

CONTRACT SIGNED
 BY CARL HUBBELL

NEW YORK, Jan. 14-The signed contract of Carl Hubbell, left-hand- ed mainstay of the New York Giants
 hurling corps for the last eleven years and chief question mark for 1889, has been received by the club.
 Though Hubbell will have to prove this spring in training camp that he has recovered satisfactorily from an operation for the removal of bone chip in his elbow, Manager Bill Terry has announced there would be no salary reductions this season. Hubbell's salary last season was estimated at $22,500
 There was widespread fear that Hubbell's sore arm would end one of the greatest of modern pitching careers. Last August IS, almost two months after he had won the two hundredth victory of his career, he complained of sore arm after being beaten by the Brooklyn Dodgers A short time later he was oper- ated on and returned to his home in Meeker, Okla, to rest. Lately he has been pessimistic over the success of the operation.

LITTLE PATTY
 A5pINALL STAR,
 SWIM CHAMPION
Only Twelve Years Old Bui She Is Fastest of All
 Wimpy' Sfrokers

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 13-Blue- eyed, twelve-year-o Patty Aspinall of Indianapolis, just at the age when most girls still are playing with dolls or beginning to have "crushes' on boys, is Americas youngest swim ming record holder.
 And while most of her friends are out playing or are slipping down tc neighborhood movie, Patty can be found practicing at the Indianapolis Athletic Club swimming pool
 For most twelve-year-olds- par ticularly girls-the Olympic Games are just something they hear older persons talking about. But not for Patty.
 A trip to Finland in 1940 as a member of the United States Olym- pic swimming team will be "okay' in the words of the youthful Hoosiei swimmer.
 New Record
 It was November 26 that Patty swam the 200-yard breast stroke event in the Purdue Univ. pool in 2:55.4, clipping sixteenth of a second off the previous American record that had stood since 1892 Her new mark was recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union
 Patty, a. quiet youngster who doesn't have very much to say when there are only strangers around, can be found at the Athletic Club pool every day except Sunday. Four days week she practices for an hour and a half. The other days she practices for forty five minutes.
 Time to Play
 k That doesn't seem to give her much time for play, coming in ad- dition to her school work, but she answers that with T manage to have plenty of time"
 Her school work doesn't suffer either because she is rated as an excellent pupil. She's in the seventh grade.
 Swimming is just play to most youngsters of her age but it's seri- ous business to Patty and it has been for three years.
 About a year ago she started working on one of the most diffi- cult and tiring strokes in swimming the flying breast stroke" or but terly." The "wiInpy," she calls it. Old style breast strokers kept their arms under water all the time swimming much the same as frog does. With the flying stroke, how ever, the arms are lifted out of the water at the completion of the down pull and swung out in front of the head for another downward pull Rides" the Waves When Patty goes into the stroke her arms flying out in the air, sht
