Fowl Increase in Year

has been increased from 102 to 260,
more than half of these areas being
primarily for migratory waterfowl.
Increases Not Uniform.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
formerly the Biological Survey re-
ports marked lack of uniformity
in the percentage of duck increase
this year in the four major "fy-
ways" AS in the past the Atlantic
and Mississippi flyways included
most of the waterfowl. The Central
Flyway showed a large decrease in
all waterfowl while the status of
birds in the Pacific Flyway remained
almost at the 1899 level.
Here's q brief summary of the
comeback status of various species:
The mallard and pintail are max
ing the best recovery among the
various species of ducks.
Black ducks show a slight de-
crease, which may be more apparent
than real
Canada's geese population is
greater than last year, but increase
is not so large as expected. MAY
reflect excessive slaughter in one or
two areas)
Canvasbacks have increased salts
factorily, blue and snow geese have
increased considerably and whistling
swans have suffered a slight reduc-
ton.

You can't count your ducks until
they're hatched-or In the bag-but
shooting prospects definitely are
winging higher for the 1910 duck
hunter.
Uncle Sans duck census takers
say the migratory waterfowl pop
ulation has jumped Is per cent
since last year. They figure roughly
there are about 65,000,o00 on the
American continent this year COM
pared with some $1,000, 900 in 1899.
Furthermore, drought in western
and northern regions didn't ma
terialize as extensively as was feared
in the spring. Water-supply con-
ditions are rated generally good in
the breeding grounds.
The number of waterfowl has
doubled since a population low of
80 to 80 million was reached in 1885.
The duck comeback is attributed to
drastic action by the Federal Gov
ernment, with cooperation of the
States. to prevent threatened ex-
tinction and to better climatic con-
ditions in the nesting grounds.
Rufuges Started.
Emergency funds were provided
by Congress and the sale Of duck
stamps was inaugurated in 1884 to
finance the purchase and mainte-
nance of waterfowl refugees. Stimuli
taneously, the Government and
States frightened restrictions on duck
hunting to curtail the heavy annual
slaughter.
Although the hunting season does
not open in most regions until Octo-
Der. the 1910 duck stamps are on
sale now at post Offices throughout
the country. The stamps, which
must be purchased by all migratory
waterfowl hunters more than Is
years old, cost 81. These are in ad-
dition, of course, to State licenses.
The sale of these stamps dropped
from 635, 900 in 1894 to $4,000 in
1885, but has increased since then
to more than 1000.0 a year. The

triple-engined racer last March ne
gotiated the mile in 80 308 to estab-

Poinstoking Art Of Tying Flies
Mastered by Man Who Lost
Hand in Hunting Mishop

Bouzhon as he went with them on
fly and bait casting parties.
Being a kid with no extra money
for equipment he had to roll his
own and tied hts first fly on an eel
hook with some horse hair and
chicken feathers. He evolved some
weird lures, but they caught fish.
1t was on q duck hunting trip to
Duck Island in 1927 that he lost
his hand. In company with the late
Oscar Toms OF Hagerstown he had
the misfortune of having the charge
OF both barrels OF his gun enter the
left forearm and hand. Toms
couldn't pole boat and Whipp in
his wounded condition had to pole
back to Williamsport through the
swift water above the rapids. There
he tainted from loss of blood and
two amputations were necessary to
save his life from blood poisoning.
Prior to his accident Whipp had
become an expert fly tyer and rod
maker, but after his arm was gone
he thought he was through and dis
posed OF all his tackle. After a year
OF inactivity the angling fever came
on again and Whipp taught himself
all over how to fish, make rods and
tie flies, using only his right hand
and the stump of his left.
Twelve years of practice again has
made him an expert both in making
rods. which he does on form of his
own design, and tying flies. He is a
quick and deft workman and it's a
treat to see him tie knot with the
thumb and first two fingers. It's all
done so quickly that the eye can't
catch the motion unless he slows it
down.
He's An Expert Caster.

A first-hand account of the
courageous role yachtsmen played
in the now historic evacuation of
the British Expeditionary Force and

one of the most difficult feats of
warfare-the withdrawal of a de-

enemy fire.
They were a motley crew that set
out from many ports of the English
coast. Some didn't return, but they
all had but one objective: To get
their comrades from the beach of
fire and shell back to the safety of
home. There were pleasure cruisers,
ships lifeboats, river launches,
beach boats, Thames River baw-

smacks and Belgian tugs.
