Wichita, Kans.—Only people

“Gotta ticket?” inquired the
gatekeeper of a young fellow
who passed through the Union

“Yeh,” said the lad absent-

"Well, eat it!" bellowed the

What hunter of upland game
doesn’t thrill at the sight of a
pointer or sett'* “freezing” rigid
at the scent of quail in a thicket?
And whc hasn’t had the gizzard
scared out of hii-i when a covey
“exploded’’ at his feet?
For centuries nan has pursued
this grand sport. In the early
days quail were so plentiful in
this country that the supply seem
ed inexhaustible. Slaves in Mary
land staged a near rebellion be
cause they were fed quail almost
every day.
As civilization spread westward
from the Atlantic seaiboard, the
quail population declined, be
cause. with typical American
prodigality, they were slaughtered
with no thought of preserving a
supply for the future. Around the
turn of this century, the Ameri
can people began to wake up to
the fact that there is a limit to
what nature can produce, and
that our natural resources of field
and stream were being depleted.
One by one the states enacted
laws protecting quail and other
game. Hunting was permitted on
ly during the fall and winter
months, and wildlife was given a
somewhat better chance to sur
vive.
However, as time went on, it
became increasingly apparent
that merely giving the Mrds a
chance wasn’t enough. Destruc

■Many states liecame alarmed
over the situation, started pro
grams for improving food and
cover conditions and stocked
areas -with hatchery raised birds.
Educational programs for farm
ers were inaugurated. Tiiey were
urged :iot to “clean farm” their
lands, iint to leave hedgerows and
shnibbery to provide cover for
quail and other wildlife.
Not Enougli
That was a big help, lint it
wasn’t enough. Because, under
the laws of this country, all wild
life (with the exception of migra
tory waterfowl) is the property
of the states, the Federal govern
ment could give but little direct
aid, except through the Biological
Survey, which now operates 2 50
wildlife refuges, a great many
of which are beneficial to quail
and other upland game birds.
Still, this was not enough.
Tlie passage of the Federal-
Aid-to-Wildlife Act (the I’ittman-
Kobertson Ad), which was spon
sored by the National Wildlife
Eederatlon. was respousilJe for
the first dired help given the
stales by the Federal Government
to rehabilitate t h ei r upland
game. Today, over twenty states
iiave received funds from the
Federal Igovernment, which are
being used to restore quail.

qiiubala '.ountains near Aguila,
is lieiii , leclaimed. Here cover
and food crops are being planted,
wliich will prove highly benefici

and animals.
Delaware is establishing twen
ty-one game .sanctuaries within
its Imnndai-ies as' seed stock ref

is furnishing more than the twen
ty-five per cent of the funds nec
essary to receive Federal allot

Maryland’s outstanding project
is tlie acquisition of 1,206 acres
of land known as the Indian

Texas has a similar project for

Pennsylvania is following a
somewhat different program. The
State Game and Fish Commission
is acquiring the land outright.
Sixteen tracts of approximately
9,000 acres each have already
been purchased in nine counties.
Cover and food conditions are
bteing improved.
And so it goes. Almost every
state which is capable of support
ing quail in appreciable numbers,
pither has a program under way,
or has received Federal funds to
start a program in the very near
future.
Some of the other states are
engaged in quail restoration pro

Washington.—The War and
Navy departments, represented as
skeptical but open to conviction,
consented Monday to tests to de
termine whether a new type of
liqnid oxygen bomb is the most
deadly destroyer yet devised by
man or merely a substitute equiv
alent to the TNT now in general
■'lilltary use.
' ester P. Barlow, energetic,
’■ ddle-aged Baltimore inventor,
won a show-down on the question
when he faced Secretary of War
Woodriiig and Secretary of Navy
Edison across a congressional
committee table Monday and ask
ed for a chance to prove that he
and a collaborator developed a
bomb capable of keeping any
enemy 1,000 miles from American
.shores.
Members of the House and Sen
ate naval and military committees
who jammed their way into the
packed committee room were
pledged to secrecy on details of
the meeting, but they reported
“acrimonious” discussion between
the inventor and the cabinet offi
cers.
niscoss Patent Claim
Much of the discussion, mem
bers reported, centered on wheth
er Barlow had aver made a form
al offer to submit his invention
to are armed forces without con
sideration of his $700,000 World
War patent Infringement claim a-
gainst the government.
Upshot of the session, called to
consider a proposal for a congres
sional investigation of Barlow’s
bomb, was an announcement that
a tho)-ough test would be con
ducted on land and at sea as soon
as possible.
After the closed session news
papermen were called in to hear
Don MeCloiid, Carbondale, 111.,
manufacturer of liquor oxygen ex
plobive.s. express the opinion that
liqnid oxygen and carbon, major
components of Barlow’.s bomb,
were little, if any, more power
ful than TNT.
