Unfailing Line.
Both instances give credence to
pigeon fanciers' oft-repeated claims:
That, when all other lines of COM
munication fail. the pigeon stands
as the sole. unstoppable means of
piercing otherwise insoluble forces.
Speaking from experience. Capt
Buscall adds that pigeons must be
used at the front lines which may
be 6 Or Z miles ahead of the
main body. Telephone lines are con-
stantly cut, Buscall says, and radios
didn't function in the last war.
Naturally. they'll be better the next
time, but static and danger of the
enemy listening in" stand as too
threatening for its exclusive use.
Pigeon fanciers had to beg the

trally located loft, with the birds,
naturally. all being trained to

they could be taught to go directly
to their own quarters in the
community residence is food for
thought.
Possibilities are interesting and
might provide the climatic thrills
Of the finish Of horse race or mar

petition. The assembled fanclers
would watch from f1nish-line seats
and be able to ascertain instantly
the order of finish without waiting
hours for clocks to be opened and
speed calculated.
Probably, though, this would be
another instance of attempting to
teach old dogs new tricks, for pigeon
racing has been going on a long,
long time. The Washington Racing
Pigeon Club itself is 81 years old and
Volney Eaton, one Of its charter
members, has been in the sport
since '88, the year before its found
ing. And the American Racing
Pigeon Union, greatest organization
Of fanciers in the world, is 30 years
old, having been founded right here
in Washington at the old Fritz
Reuter- Hotel on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. at AZ street on November 10,
1910.
Tradition Rules
Essential principles Of pigeon rae
ing have remained unchanged al

But the general use of pigeons

Ing antedates the above points not
by years, but by centuries As a
matter of fact, wasn't it the dove
that brought the news Of the floods
recession to Noah in the Ark?
Further, history records that the
great banking house of Rothschild
helped build its fortune by using
pigeons exclusively to beat COM
petitors on news of cargo.
No one ever has explained hon.
ing pigeons ability to return to his
loft from distances up to 600 miles,
other than to attribute it to instinct.
Like anything being trained. pigeons
are taught gradually. First flights
are made from liberation points a

and hundred mile races usually

It's something to be marveled at
this idea of thousands of pigeons

This Is particularly true of GER
tain low-income groups in the
South. These people, of limited
purchasing power, are compelled to
live entirely OIL what they grow
on their own farms and in their
own gardens and never get any
food from other regions. If, then,
their own soil is deficient In what
it takes to grow nutritious and high
vitamin content vegetables, they
are not properly nourished. Even
If meat is included in their diet,
that, too, will be q local product,
and they are no better OF, because
the animals they eat have been in
turn nourished on inferior fodder
and their flesh Is also deficient.
The general effect Is q lowering
Of the health standard for the en-
tire area affected.
In this connection the doctor
pointed out that the customary
classification of an individual as
either sick or well Is not strictly
accurate. OF q group of men none
Of whom may feel the need OF q
doctor some will be extremely vital,
others lackadaisical and the ma
jority Of the group somewhere in
between. This suggests that the
true measure Of general health is
vitality, and that 1t comes tn de-
grees, just as color does. An au-
tumn leaf and rose may both be
red-but the rose will be redder.
In the same way two individuals
may be healthy" In the COM
monty accepted notion Of the word
but the chances are that one win

cause more vital.
Dr.. Auchter's plan for remedying
these conditions Of low vitality Is
both simple and practical. Let us
suppose that analysis has shown
that the soil Of q certain area Il
lacking in element x, or at least
deficient in 1t. No much is needed,
maybe only 5 pounds or 30 to the
acre. The farmer really should in
his own interests buy 1t and apply
1t. Many do and many do not.
But In any event what the farmer
must and win do II he Is to have
any satisfactory crops at all, Is to
buy fertilizer from time to time
and also poison sprays to keep
down insect pests. DR.. Aucher sug-
gests that the fertilizer and In
sectictde companies, when they get
an order from Z territory on the
deficient list, can easily add Z little
element x to their product. The
soil would then become sumcient,
produce really nutritious CROP and
gradually raise the stap4ard Of
general health In the community,
thereby raising the health average
of the entire Nation.

perfectly content to give up hours
merely to await the return of his
birds from points many miles away.
There have been times when fan
ciers have foregone Sunday after
noon walks or rides, ball games or
other social engagements to watch
all day for birds which never came
home. Sometimes. in races Of 500
miles or more. there have been
secondary" birds. which means
that they've "homed" the day after
liberation. Sometimes they've not
come home at all.
Philosophy In Loss.
In the majority of instances. how-
ever, there isn't any pang over the
loss of a bird which doesn't home" !"
IF it doesn't come back it's not
worth having" seems to be the un-
DERIVING philosophy in the cases Of
all lost birds. Naturally, it's not
always certain that a non-homer
was useless. 1t might have been
shot by a boy with a bee-bee gun.
or struck a high-tension wire. or
been found by cat when asleep
on an overnight flight. But these
cases are in the minority.
Today. as in all races. the outcome
will not be determined until some
hours after darkness has descended.
Not until the evenings of one-day
races do the fanciers assemble to
learn who has won and how the
rest Of them have placed and then
only by a complicated system of
| calculations involving everything
