tions on the duck hunt. The hunt
ing army has risen from 448 900
in 1885 to a million last year, he
said.
For four successive years, our
waterfowl have been building back,
Mr.. Gagrielson said. preliminary
figures indicate nice increase in
the breeding stock again this year.
This increase is not as large as
those who ask for longer shooting

edly encouraging"

Park Policeman
Explains Violation

Park Policeman William A. Earl,
named yesterday on a list of Is
persons whose tickets for alleged
traffic violations were Cancelled by
the metropolitan police, explained
today that park policemen were au-
thorized to leave their cars in the
particular mo parking zone" which
he was charged with violating.
This zone, he explained, was in
front Of Franklin Park at a spot
where there is a park police substa-
ton. He felt, he pointed out, that
leaving ticket on his car was an
error and metropolitan police off,
cials were justified in disregarding
it when the circumstances were ex-
planned.
Il didn't want any one to think
got a ticket fixed because I'm a
park policeman" he added. If I
violated regulation, Id rather 20
any pay fine than ask to have the
ticket Cancelled"
