Ducks Remnant
that is Left
Figures Show That the Wild Fowlj
Life is Being Slaughtered Away
and May Soon Vanish.
New York, Oct. 28. Recent reports
of waterfowl numbers this fall were
said today, by John H. Baker execu
tive director of the National Associa
tion of Audubon Societies, to be fur
ther evidence of the critical condi
tion in which North America's wild
ducks find themselves, and were
pointed out as supporting the asso
ciation's claims that the season
should have been closed this year.
"Newspapers throughout the coun
try have widely printed claims of
More Game Birds in America, Inc.,
to the effect that 40,000,000 ducks
will fly southward from the prairie
provinces this fall," Mr. Baker said,
"and there has been a general infer
ence from the claims that this means
a whale of a lot of ducks, and that
this year's federal waterfowl hunting
regulations are unnacessarily severe
under the circumstances."
"Quite the contrary; let's analyze
the figure. The last official estimate
of the chief of the U. S. Biological
Survey was, I believe, 27,000,000
ducks going back to the breeding
grounds in the spring of 1935. For
getting, to be on the safe side, the
probable preponderance of male birds
and the fact that at least some of
the birds are sterile, that would mean
13,500,000 pairs.
"It each of these pairs," Mr. Baker
continued, "succeeded in bringing to
migrating maturity only one duck
ling, there would be 40,000,000 wing
ing their way southward this fall.
With roughly three such ducklings
per pair, a reasonable possibility this
year of ample water and breeding
grounds, there would be 65,000,000.
"This may sound as though some
700,000 duck hunters in the United
States (Canada and Mexican figures
would be additional) would have
plenty of birds to bag this year, but
actually it will leave a dangerously
small surplus, quite inadequate to
meet the exigencies of furture
drought years.
"40,000,000, or 65,000,000 ducks."
he continued, "are a drop in the
bucket compared to the quantities
existing on this continent only a few
years ago. For 35 years, according to
the chief of the U. S. Biological Sur
vey, this country has been killing
more wild ducks than were raised.
Ducks lay about eight eggs, on the
average, and biologists know this
means that there is normally an an
nual mortality of about 80 per cent
Birds lay enough eggs to cover na

tural losses, but ducks didn't evolve
their rate of Increase to take care of
a large kill by man, either for sport,
or as the result of his agricultural
or construction operations.
"Therefore," the statement con
cludes, "It behooves every true sports
man to abide by, welcome and work
for such regulations as will permit
taking full advantage of favorable
breeding years to effect prompt re
storation of the duck supply. No one
beratin gthis year's hunting regula
tions and the doubtful chance of their
contributing to a small gain in total
supply, can be said to be a conserva
tionist, let alone a restorationist."
FIRE FIGHTERS LEAVE AREA
Los Angeles. After more than five
days battle with the Malibu hills
forest fire, which was controlled over
the week end, 1,500 firefighters
evacuated the burned over area of
approximately 100 square miles,
leaving scattered patrols to guard
against new blazes. The last threat,
which developed in the Castro peak
Dume canyon region, was controlled
Monday morning.
The $3,000,000 Malibu fire, worst
In southern California history, was
the largest single item in the $10,
000,000 loss caused by fires and crop
damaging winds in southern Cali
fornia last week.
GRIEF TO LADY CAVENDISH
London. Twin boys born to Lady
Charles Cavendish and her titled hus
band on Saturday lived only a short
time, it was announced. Lady Caven
dish is the former Adele Astaire, for
merly of Omaha, sister of Fred
Astaire, the dancer. She and Lord
Cavendish were married in May,
1932. The death of the babies was
the second bereavement to visit the
Cavendish home in a little more than
two years. In October, 1933, their
first child, a girl, died when only
three hours old. Lady Cavendish'
condition was reported as "very sat
isfactory." TWO BUILDINGS ROPED OFF
Helena, Mont. Two additional
structures In the older part of the
city's business section were roped off
when an earth shock threatened them
with destruction. A third, Its walls
bulging after a jolt several days ago,
was roped off at that time.
All, It is believed, were weakened
in the destructive shocks of Oct. 12
and 19 when an estimated 2 million
or more dollars damage resulted in
the city's business and residential
sectoins. Monday's shock, of 2 to 3
seconds duration, came after a period
of nearly tea hours quiet.

Speaker at Omaha Auditorium

cago, Illinois, who has served as First
Header of The Mother Church, The

tions, interest has become so strong
in it because it lifts mankind up and
out of discord, disease, and distress,
that quite often hundreds of thou
sands are unable to secure seats at

ject. For this reason the Omaha City
