LEG BANDS TO KEEP TAB
ON WILD DUCK TRAVELS
When a wild duck decides to move
from hi* summer homo in Canadian
wilds he neglects to leave a forward
ing address to indicate where hie win
ter quarters ere to be established.
The Bureau of Biotogicul Survey,
United States Department of Agri
culture, Is working on a method to
offset the duck’s yaretaiinee*. This
consists of a system of trapping the
birds and marking them wdn u'umi-'
turn leg bands that a carry a norm
bar aad the legend “Biol. Sarvj|
Wash, D. C.” when a banded duck
Is killed, the hunter removes the bend
end returns It to the Biological Sur
vey with information showing when
aad where the bird was recovered. i
During the past autumn a Canal
diaa collaborator of the Survey, MJ
If fl Dtlsv Atiarulul as .lualr Iran el
Laka Beugog, Ontario, where hr cape
tured and handed over 200 black
ducks and mallards, with a few ring
necked ducks and blue-winged teals.
Soma af them were killed near the
place where they were bended, but
others were from such localities as to
indicate approximately tha route ta
ken by those birds 1n their jouney to
the Southland. In all about 25 of
Mr. Osier's ducks have been killed
aad the hand* returned from points
la Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana,
aad Texas. One of the blue winged
teals was killed near Tort of Spain
Trinidad. British West Indies, mors
than 2,500 miles from Lake Kcugog
where the band was attached.
The systematic handing of bl-ds,
a* andertaken by the Biological Bur

much valuable information..

Wilson Resumes Practice
Of Law in Capital Citv
Retiring Pr««ld«l To Bo Associated
With Secretary Colby, Say* |
Washington, March 3.—With «
brief s-nourrrmrrt that bo "wH-re
■••'Ittr the practice of lew." President
Wilson todav eavr the firat Ind'ca
s‘on of what h* Intend*, to do after
Vavinn the White Hon«e
Whollv unexpected and quite nn
knnwn to the P-nstdent’a elo*c-1
friends, it woa officially announced
et the Wh;te House offices that Mr.
Wdson would ento" a portnri^ilp
nn«h Bs'nbrdge Colby, of New York,
the retiring Secretary of State, and
that tho now fins would establish of
fices in^few-York and Washington.
No (oformstlou ad the character «f
two, 00.1-T sfh, mill .nndr.r -
take was made available and all ques
tions wtit met with the rtply that
the official announcement contained
all there was to be said. Secretary
Colby refuted to ditetut the subject
at all.
The general assumption is Wash
ington To that Mr. Wilson snd Mr.
Colby will engag* largely in th* prae;
ticc of international law, a field to
which the world war and ita after
math promise to contribute largely
du-ing the next f»0 Trsrs. Some of the
President's friends think that through
his aetiviliru in law practice he' may
Ar,d some way to continue his work
for world peace, but they do not
know just how he would do so.
Mr. Wilson's start in life, long be
fore he thought of college professor
ships or politics, was in tho law.
Gradoated from the University of
Virginia in his native State in 1881,
hs opened a small office and prsrtired
hi Atlanta for two years ana then In
1883 practiced in Baltimore and do
ing post-graduate work at Johns Hop
kins University. It eras during that
year hie writings attracted first at
tention and that be wrote hi* volume
on congressional government. Ho
abandoned the law soon after, how.
evar, and began the collegiate work
In which he continued until he be
came Governor of New Jersey.
With the announcement that tho
I retiring President would take up law
land apply to the Supreme Court of
'the United States for admission to
I practice, all official Washington ad
ded: la be pyhalcally able to de sol
i Hear Admiral Grayson. Mr. Wil
ton's psrsonal physician, said his pa
tient could, and that he would be able
•to appear in the Supreme Court "on
rationally." In tho absence of any de
finite announcement of how oetlvs
Mr. Wilson proposes to bo, those whe

The somber of Rasaian refugees in

First, Reparation of the refugees
