feet in length.
Captain johnson related an
incident that occurred when he
was looking for alligators in
marshes on the upper reaches OF
the delta, north of his usual
haunts.
IT was just switching off the
river into a bayou when I saw
this old fellow on his boat. I
came up to him and asked II
there were any gators in the
swamps back there. He told me
YES and I asked him If there
were any real big ones, is or 16
feet long"
Son." he said, IT been hunt
ing them critters a mighty long
time, and it's been a mighty
long time since I seen any Is
foot gators"
But the important thing to
Captain Johnson and others Is
that the alligator population Is
increasing again. Some day the
trappers and hunters who de-
pend on the land and water for
their livelihood may be able to
make a fairly good income by
harvesting alligators, taking on
~ the surplus stock on the area.

Monterey's Boys Town

Instead of a few run-of-the-
mill stories usually obtained on
passenger vessels arriving at
Los Angeles Harbor, the COM
ing of the steamer Monterey"
recently, crowded by six hun
dred Far East evacuees, mostly
Navy families, supplied San
Pedro'S waterfront reporters
with something surprising and
tremendously extraordinary.
Knowing the fires of prankiSh
youth would burn bright among
the 281 children, the wise old
deck steward, a fellow of myriad
perceptions and wise experience,
and concerned as he was about
the jittery uneaSineSS unre-
strained kids would cause his
steamer chair patrons, organi-
zed sort of Boys Town gov
eminent aboard. The idea met
with the unanimous approval of
the mothers, most of them Navy
wives out of Shanghai and Man
liza. Needless to say the boys
co-operated intellectually.
There were twelve older boys
in the council, who sat in judg-
ment on the mischievous and
,, awarded puniShments, largely
confinement and loss of privi-
leges. Two score deputies quick
! ly quelled offenders, making
brisk and workmanlike arrests
It was a police petty officers
job, one that tested RESPONSE
! bility, patience, and intelligence
, and was well done.
However, the old frowns Of
care vanished after the patrols
began functioning ON shipboard
reappeared on mothers brows
, at San Pedro. They were con-
templating long sleeper rides
ahead, with time heavy on Jun
iors' hands.

PROTECTION SAVING
DEPLETED GATOR STOCK

Old-timers report that in
years past it was common to
catch Is, 16-, and even 17-foot
alligators in the swamps and
bayous of southeastern United
States and along the Gulf coast.
But today those big gators are
not seen. In fact, a 14-foot ALI
gator is a rarity now. The av-
erage size taken today is about
to Z feet.
The alligators were sought so
induStriouSly by market hunt
erS who sold the hides that the
stock soon became depleted in
the southeast, and old-timers
declare that if these valuable
animals are coming back at all
it's owing to the protection of
such conservation agencies as
the Fish and Wildlife service,
of the United States Department
of the Interior, the state game
commissions, and a few private
individuals who realized that
these reptiles were fast disap-
pearing.
Throughout the string of ma
tional wildlife refugees admins
tered by the Fish and Wildlife
service along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, the story is pretty
much the same as that of all
other forms of wildlife sought
by hunters. In the good old
days" the swamps and marshes
abounded with gators of all 81
yes - big, medium, and small.
But gator hides brought good
prices, and the crack of market
hunters rifles soon had their
effect. Gators became scarcer,
and those taken were not so big
as in former years.
Conservation Saves Gators
In the Olefenokee swamps of
Georgia, at one time, the alli-
gator population was unusually
large. Many hunters still recall.
taking large-sized gators in
quantity from the famous
swampland that is now a wild
life refuge. The stock, however
had become so depleted, that by
the time the refuge was eStab-
ished, few hunters were maak-
ing much money from gator
hides.
That conservation practices
pay is evident from the con-
slant increases in the number
of alligators on the Georgia
refuge. Today there are more
of these animals in the Okefen-
okee swamps than have been
seen there in the past 10 or IS
years.
1.-The refuge sure has brought
them back" declare an old hun
ter who has lived near the
swamps all his life.
IT remember I could 20 on
Billies lake on the refuge and
see them gators by the hun
dreds just by padding up and
down and into the little chan
nels," he said. 'Then they just
kind of disappeared and it was
MT no time at all before there
weren't any more. Then when
the government put up the ref
uge and there wasn't any more
killing, it was different. I can
see the gators coming back,
now. Now I can 60 up Billies
lake on fishing trip and see
maybe 40 or so in no time at
oil

Central and Anacostia, question

Diminutiye Earl Skinker, now

that hitherto impotent Gin golf
waD outfit into a threatening posi-
ton in the private high school chase
But Earls presence at Dewitt means
woe for Wilson.
Skinker graduated from Wilson
last year, with an imposing record
of links excellence among the school,
boys He led the Wilson team to vic
tory in the Dawes Cup series and
grabbed the metropolitan interscho-
lastic crown. He was, without
question, the top high school golfer
of the city in 1910.
His schoolmate, Ralph Bogsrt. who
also attended Wilson, was not eligible

Dog Show 10 Include

First of Series Corded
On Sunday by National
Capital Kennel Club
BY r. r. TAYNTON.

A sanction match for dogs OF all
ages over months and all breeds
champions excepted will be held
at the Building Laborers' Hall,
525 New Jersey avenue, Sunday.
This show is being promoted by the
National Capital Kennel Club,
which plans on holding a series OF
four such matches through the
year.
Entries for this event will be
taken at the door from noon until
1:30, and Judging will begin prompt
ly at pm.
John Kimes, who raises cookers
and wire hairs, will judge both the
sporting and terrier groups and all
breeds in the groups except cocker
spaniels. These will be judged by
1t. L. H. C. Lounsbury, DR., Cornet,
who breeds dachshunds, will judge
the hound group.
The working group will be judged
by George Coulon, Great Dane
breeder, with the exception Of
boxers, which will be judged by
Edith Groves. The toy group will
be judged by Richard Birney, who
has had experience with all breeds.
The transporting group, and bull
dogs. will be judged by Harold
Grimm.
Boston terriers will be Judged by
Harold Scott, and James A. johnson
of Baltimore will do the elbows and
other breeds in the transporting
group.
These Judges all are of wide ex-
perience in handling their respective
breeds.
The sanction match furnishes
them with an opportunity to eval-
uate their dogs from the judges
angle. and also permits the exhibitor
to gain the experience of showing
dog in the ring under the most
favorable conditions.
More and better sanction matches
have long been the need of the dog
loving populace in this vicinity. Both
puppies and handlers may be
schooled in the technique and ethics
of the show ring. Both gain con-
fidence for the larger, licensed shows
with less nerve strain and less ex-
pense than Is possible any other
way.
