WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1929 us FRED AND HABITATS THF: BISMARCK TRIBUNB WILD LIFE REFUGE AIDS DENIZENS IN Btudy and Propagation of Water Plants, Building of Dams and Like Taken Up i t Superintendent Cox today con- eludes his series of three sketches of development of the Upper Mississippi ‘Wild Life and Fish Refuge. In the following he tells of development and eduéational ‘activities and of the Problems of pollution. By W. T. COX Superintendent Upper Mississippi Refuge Winona, Minn., May 8.—()—With Yeference to development, a survey of the wild life of the refuge has been extended and much valuable infor- mation obtained about local game! Five persons were killed and ten injured when this bus collided with an and fur-bearing animals, predatory| automobile near Elkhart, Ind. The automobile, reported traveling 50 miles animals, migratory birds and preda- cious birds. The study of plant foods in the wa- ters of the refuge, which has been under way for the past two seasons, has been completed from Lake Pepin as far south as the mouth of the Wis- consin river. This has given much useful infor- mation concerning the present state of the water vegetation such as wild rice, pond weeds, duck weeds, water potato, wild celery and other similar plants. A good deal of information has ‘been gathered, incidentally, concern- ing wild life food in general and in the refuge territory. There seems to be no shortage as yet in the amount of suitable food produced by trees, bushes and smaller plants throughout the refuge territory. With a view to the time when the wild life population of the refuge will be vastly increased, measures are un- der way for the planting of large numbers of such trees and shrubs as have high value in furnishing nuts. berries, fruits and other forms of food needed by the wild creatures. Little trees are being raised and planting is in progress with a view also to pro- viding the best forms of shelter for certain species of game. A number of small dams have been built at points where they will main- tain a suitable level in shallow lakes, thus rendering these bodies of water highly valuable concentration points for wild fowl and as marshes for muskrats. We have been co- operating th the War department engineers in working out projects of this kind. Lecating Fish Hatcheries A special effort has been made in cooperation with the bureau of fish- erics to find out and ecquire the more desirable sites for both n- sive and extensive fish hatcheries. ‘That bureau has an important part to play in the administration of the refuge. Not only are muskrats being trans- ferred from places of abundance other areas where they scarcely at this time, but beavers are being brought in from northern Wisconsin and northern Minnesota. We hope, also, to bring some otter. Already a very few beaver and otter are found at widely scparate points in the refuge. The first shipment of drer recently arrived at a point near Wabasha, the anima being contributed by the Wiscon' ponservation department, and it is expected that further ship- ments will be received from time to time and the animals released in the bottom lands. The raccoon is in- creasing ve i orily in some pertions of the refuge, particularly on the Minnesota side, The opossum is gradually extend- ing its range northward along the ‘refuge, and thes animals are now fairly common as far north as Wa- basha. This is rather interesting, since the opossum until recentl: found its approximate north range about Dubuque. A plan is being tried out wherel the Biological Survey furnishes w' ducks of different snecies to local or- ganizations, with the understanding that the breeding flock will be turned loose to go south in the fall. If for- tunate, they would return in the fol- lowing spring to nest in the same feneral locality, thus increasing the number of local birds. The city of Winona and the village of La Crescent, Minn., already have undertaken projects of this kind and other places are now interested. The subject of pollution is exceed- ingly important in its present and future effect on our project. Already the river is so impure as to affect in- juriously the smaller forms of aquatic life. and apparently some of the larger forms also. The Izaak Walton league has been active in bringing a proper consider- ation of pollution problems before the state legislature and particularly be- fore the people of the Twin Cities. A great deal of educational work has ‘been found necessary and desir- able. This has been conducted with local chapters of the Izaak Walton. league along the refuge, with state di- visions in the four states directly concerned and to some extent at the national meetings and in Outdoor America. Other organizations, such as the Boy Scouts, the Federation of Wom- en's clubs, Sportsmen's clubs, the " FOR MOTHER: Give Moth. er a Meeker made leather. bag. Cowan’s.

Dispatches from Riga: said the young adopted son of Premier Waldemaras, who was wounded when the shots were fired, died yesterday afternoon. Neither of the two others wounded was regarded as seriously injured. Chicago Painters to Have Five-Day Week Chicago, May 8.—(?)—Following a one-year experiment, contractors have signed a three-year agreement under which Chicago painters will work a five-day weck. There are 18,500 painters affected. . The rate of pay for the period of the contract will be $1.62': an hour. The contractors sought a five-year agreement which would carry them over the world’s fair period, but this the painters refused.

Communist Efforts | In Berlin to Launch General Strike Fail Berlin, May 8.—(?)—Protest strikes urged by the communists upon Berlin workers as a demonstration against the police methods in the recent May day disorders met with little response by the workers during today's funeral of most of the victims of the riots. The communist effort to have street car, omnibus and subway workers lay down their tools between 2:00 p. m. and 2:05 p. m. failed cbmpletely, ac- cording to officials of these com- panies, False and Misleading Ads Are Investigated Washington, May 8.—()—A special board to investigate alleged false and misleading advertising published in newspapers and periodicals has heen appointed by the federal trade com- mission. The commission said an in- formal examination of newspaper and periodical advertising had been under way several months and a number of cases were ready for re- view under the section of the federal trade commission act which prohibits unfair methods of competition. | POLICY PROBE POSTPONED Washington, May 8—i?)\—Mceting of the senate judiciary committee to consider the resolution of Senator King, Democrat, Utah, ec investigation of President S loil conservation pol postponed indefinitely. & grown-ups!

Although a member of the British Ryder cup team, he did not play against the Americans, so his appeal to the golf enthusiasts was not enough to draw them to his ban- ner when he started this morning. Breaks Course Record His score of 69 broke the Muirfield course record, which was smashed by Diegel with 70 yesterday in the second qualifying round. Several thousand followed Diegel and Jolly, who rewarded them with scores of 71 and 72, respectively; but Alliss, on their heels, played an even better game. His card showed seven birdies. Diegel’s round was featured by his brilliant second shots. He was on every green except the seventeenth in two, and there chipped from just off the green and dropped an_ eight-footer. He took 38 putts, and 18 were from a foot or even less. At the short six- teenth he tried to get a long putt down, overran the hole, and missed coming back. Early finishers among the American contingent played steadily, Sarazen and MacDonald Smith bagging 73s. Abe Mitchell's 72 was equaled by Jolly in the British lineup behind Alliss, Weather Is Favorable The weather was fine for scoring at midday, but a freshening breeze blew rain clouds in from the sea and there was a light shower as Walter Hagen and Henry Cottom, among the last starters, teed off. Johnny Farrell, open champion of the United States, who found the go- ing rough in the qualifying round, struck his stride today and returned a good 72. Charles Whitcombe, highly favored British pro, took 77 for his round. Jim Barnes, who has held both the British open title and the open cham- pionship of the United States, fin- ished with a brilliant 71, equaling Diegel’s score. Barnes went over par only on the | fifteenth, where he took iiye on the par four hole. At the seventeenth his brassie was just short of the green j and he chipped dead for a birdie four. ‘arrell came to the home hole with an excellent chance to tie with his { nate Diegel with 71, but took a Careful, Mother!

His drive rested on the side of | ment of the “most valuable player” a hill, and his sccond was short of the | award. green. His pitch was dead on the line but rolled 15 feet beyond the cup, and his putt lipped the cup. Three other putts barely missed dropping on his homeward journey. Turnesa Scores 78 Joe Turnesa finished with a score of 78 after bad putting had cost him many strokes. Bill Mehlhorn checked in with a score of 74 for his first round. Bobby Cruickshank joined the low scorers with a snappy 73. Tommy Armour, who had a wobbly start, played a steady game on the second nine and finished with a score of 75, In a driving rain Al Watrous holed a long putt at the 18th hole for a Cyril Tolley, the Big Briton, finished with a score of 74 and assumed the lead among the score of 73. amateurs. Al Espinosa, Chicago, returned a card of 77. Jimmy Thompson, Knox- | ville, Tenn., was around in 78. Aubrey Boomer, British pro, scored 74. By ALLAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, May 8—(#)—The smooth surface of organized baseball has been somewhat ruffled by reaction to the ; disciplinary moves of Commissioner ; Landis on the “covering-up” of strings attached to minor league talent. Baseball men familiar with events of the last few months, subsequent to the drastic steps taken by Landis to free the players involved and fine the big league clubs accused of violat- ing the optional player limit, under- stand that a bloc of American league magnates is again ready to shoulder In fact, the “wise ones” assert the main purpose of the American league mecting in Cleveland yester- day was to air the objection to Lan- dis’ action, although the headlined item of news concerned the abandon- arms. For years the major league mag- nates, by a gentlemanly understand- ing, have “covered up” players put out for more seasoning in excess of the official limit of eight. Apparently a number of them, understood to be led by Clark Grif- fith of Washington, resent the sum- mary action of the high commissioner in not only calling an abrupt halt but in administering sharp discipline, Whatever their personal feelings, there is not likely to be a serious tem- Pest, especially since Landis retains the full backing of the National league and sufficient American league support to give him any vote of con- fidence required. Furthermore the commissioner's sweeping powers of office give him undisputed control of the situation. There is no appeal from a decision by Landis, whose $65,000-a-ycar job as sole arbiter of orgenized baseball has until 1933 to run, Although there has been some ob- jection to continuing it, the National league will not join the American in | discarding the “most valuable player” contest this year. The general feeling among baseball men favors retention of what has come to represent a “hall of fame” for big league stars. They believe the incentive and recognition it furnishes to the players outweighs any objec- tions. Gopher Gridders Wind Up Training Minneapolis, Minn., May 8—(4)}— A football game and football field events will wind up spring training at the University of Minnesota Fri- day when two picked elevens clash for final laurels in Big Ten fashion, Squads will be picked from the rosters of four teams which have par- ticipated in a round robin tourna- ment conducted this spring. Field events include conte: in sprinting, h PAGE SFVEN kicking, forward passing, and other departments of the game. Under the direction of Dr. Clarence W. Spears, head football coach, the game will take on the aspect of a regulation league football game with the gridders listed numerically on printed programs available to spec- tators. Substitutes will be announced from the sidelines through mega- Phones. Make It Easy for Baseball Scouts | ° | | | ° Los Angeles, May 8.—(?)— Here's a future prospect for base- ball scouts, “Moose” Redding, star pitcher for the Inglewood high school nine, has established what is be- Meved to be a record for prep twirlers. In five games he has allowed but seven hits, has struck out 60 men; has pitched three shutout games and has allowed but two runs. Prayer Helpful In Marathon Run Boston, May 8.—“‘All you have to do is pray long enough—and everything will be all right.” That's what Johnny Miles, 1929 American marathon champion, said after he had repeated his 1926 victory in the Boston A. A. marathon from Hopkinton to Boston, 26 miles, and had broken all records for the race, to boot. Up in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, Mile's home town, the runner teaches a Sunday school class. He advises his boy pupils to pray and work for what they want. And he preaches what he practices. After his 1926 victory, Miles dropped out of the picture. Experts had decided that he was a mere flash in the pan, a one-race runner, wig he came back to win the April 1 race this year from one of the stron est fields ever entered. 3 Miles confessed, shame-faccdly, th his two years of bad luck were n due to poor legs, or any other phy ical handicap. “I just didn’t pray hard enough he said. “But now I've learned lesson—and I'll never forget it.” Dr. Otto Peltzer Postpones Jaut Wickersdorf, May 8—(?)—Dr. O Peltzer, holder of the world’s for 1,500 meters, has abandoned th project of going to the United Stat this summer. “I have defi itely postponed mij . “because I can't leave tir-2 and I should naturally like t enter several events in connectio with my journey.
