Conservation STATE LAUDED FOR PROGRESS IN AIDING GAME Critic Demanding More Wardens Classed as ‘Carping.’ Not*—of th* illn* of Mr. f otini, hit rolnmn had not b**n prlrtH for *r*ra! H* ha* rfrorrrrd and rrnm*d writing BY UIIJJAM F. COLLINS Timet Spmal Writer • Let thv discontents be thine own secret." Thus spoke Benjamin Franklin long before we had a department of conservation, long before we had in this country that peculiar type of genus, homo sapiens, that thieves an discontent. the columnist homo, a Greek word referring to man: sapiens, a Latin word meaning Ailed with wisdom. I doubt very much if we can claim connertion with or title to this lCicntiflc appellation, especially that branch of the columnar fraternity that deals with conservation Knowas little as we do abotu the topic the safest ground to deliver our written lectures from pre-eminently is the home ground of personal ex- 1 perience. Even then, we will have to qualify to some extent as observers. ' When any member of our fraternity prowls out of bounds and starts wishful thinking, dabbles in mathematics to prove his point and finally rounds out his column with , his own personal discontents worded to read that they are the con-t census of opinion of the hunting and fishing enthusiasts, it is time for the innocent bystander to hunt cover and wait for the debris to fall. C arping Criticism Is Futile All of this is brought to mind by reading an article written by one of the outdoor contributors to the city Sunday newspaper. There is a vast difference between constructive and carping criticism. One is a welcome relief, a mental stimulant, a rip cord for official egotism, but the carping kind serves , no useful purpose. It debases the man who utters it and angers.into perversity the man who receives it. | I know from personal experience. We are informed in this Sunday article that the department of conservation is not doing so well. The j majority of the hunters and fishermen say so To prove his state- ; ments. the writer scoops up an arm- i ful of figures pleasing to his fancy and arrays them before a not too credulous outdoor public. He first instructs us that to save ! the fish and game we need ninety- ! six game wardens, on efor every county. Four additional counties are hardly w’orth an argument, so let us proceed. He states license fees bring in $400,000 a year. This wishful thought states an income of $60,000 more than the conservation department ever received in the peak year of 1929 and more than $125,000 in excess of what the i present administration has taken in to date. Ens in Calculation So, he continues, with ninety-six game wardens paid SIOO a month—he is emphatic about the ninety-six —the w arden service will absorb only one-fortieth of the depart-, ment's income. He writes out the one-fortieth thus so there can be no mistake. That amount he concluded is little enough to pay out to protect Indiana game, and sive throwing to the winds all the money we spend yearly on fish and game raising activities. Actually a game warden costs $2,500 a year, salary, car and expenses. Ninety-two of them would not take one-fortieth of the license fees but 80 per cent and w’ould leave for the department to carry ail its other activities about $40,000 a year. That distribution of the department's funds would stop all fish and game rearing activities. Finally, to be entirely consistent, he terms the recommendation of the foremost game expert in the country. Seth Gordon's advice that we increase the hunting and license fees to $2 as "bolony." To have metv-six game wardens we would need the $2 fee but that is not the point, the writer would have us know that he has settled the argument for all time and dismissed it with "bolonv.” Theodore Roosevelt stated: "With the facilities at hand for the dissemination of news it is not surprising we know so much: the surprising thing is that we know so much that is wrong." Little Game Killed by Hunters Cornell university is responsible for the statement that only 8 per cent o four game is killed by hunters yet we should have a warden force costing 80 per cent of our income to protect that 8 per cent. A careful survey of all the facts in hand leads me to believe that Indiana is making more progress toward a well rounded out plan of conservation with the money avail-’ able than any sister state, that even in comparison with Michigan, making a proper allowance for the vastly greater amount of money it has for conservation work, we are doing well. We have thus far cut our sails to match our cloth and have then trimmed them to match the wind. Until the sportsman contributes the other dollar, the price of one bucket of minnows or the cost of one box of shells, the process of accelerating the progress of the department will be slow and accomplished out o fsavings. You can’t get blood out of a turnip, Mr. Sportsman: you can't run your hobby on river water. If you want more fish, more game, more protection you will have to sweeten the kitty, not feed it "bolony.’’ CHURCH DINNER ".

RUSSIA OFFERS STEEL ORDERS Satisfactory Credit Needed to Close Deal in Millions. (Copyright. 19.14. by United Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 3—Orders from the Soviet Union for millions of dollars worth of American steel were dangled before American manufacturers today, awaiting satisfactory credit arrangements. A representative of one steel company declared that Russian interests recently had made inquiries for 1.600 miles of twelve-inch steel pipe for oil pipe lines, and for large quantities of steel rails and other railroad equipment. The pipe orders would be sufficient to keep American steel pipe manufacturing plants busy on a full time basis throughtout 1934, this informant said. Financing facilities are now' under administration consideration, with the prospective formation of a credit corporation or export bank in the District o Columbia, under the aegis of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Sinks Serpents Sea ‘Monsters’ Myths, Say Scientists. By Times Special WASHINGTON Feb. 3.—The sea monsters that slosh through the mud and snort, and scare the natives into next w'eek, well, they're fake, the National Geographical Society has concluded. They’re not sea monsters at all, the society said, but may be Mediterranean ribbon fish thirty feet long, or nemertines (sea worms) forty-five feet long, or giant squid fifty feet long. All these aw resome creatures live' and have their being in one place or another, the society insists, but they’re not sea monsters, no matter how long they are. They’re just oversized fish. Sharks sometimes swim along in single file, like Sunday motorists, making them look like a monster, the society continued. And sometimes sea serpents turn into seaweed upon closer inspection, or tuna fish, or playful sea lions, or even ducks.

ROOSEVELT IS ATTACKED BY LEGIM CHIEF ‘Went Too Far in Slashing Veterans’ Assistance,’ Says Hayes. Thel ong-expected break between the American Legion and the Roosevelt administration developed this week when a scathing attack on the President and his veterans’ policies by Ed Hayes, National Legion commander, was published in the current issue of the magazine, Real ■America. With the bitter statement that w'hen Roosevelt outlined budget cuts, the veteran was ‘‘the redheaded stepchild left out in the open rumble seat during a snow storm,” Mr. Hayes hurls this challenge at the administration: “As commander of the American Legion, it is my duty to fight not only the battle of the legion, but the battle of all former service men. and if that fight leads to the White House, there it must be fought, and there I will go.” Writing further of Roosevelts drastic cuts of veterans’ compensation, Commander Hayes points out the reasonable attitude of the Legio ntowards Washington at the outset of the new administration and remarks: "So—believing that the legion was ready to stand for anything, he (the President) w r ent too far.' He cut the payments of our totally disabled men. He wiped out at one stroke our hospital and rehabilitation work of thirteen years. He decreed that a veteran ill and broke, must be a charity patient at the usual horrible county hospital or poor farm, instead of at a federal hospital.” Admirals Byrd and Simms, General Harboard and even General Pershing come in for their quota of blasting criticism for their activities in the National Economy League, the organization which was largely responsoble for influencing congress toward allowing the veterans cuts in payments. After detailing the many thousands of dollars paid the quartet by the government in the form of pensions, Mr. Hayes sizes up the legion's attitude toward them with these words: "Messrs. Admirals and Generals, you keep up your battle to ham-string our men, and we’ll start agitation regarding your exorbitant pensions. You’ll learn a lot more about w r ar than ever was taught you in West Point or Annapolis.” MOVIES SUPPLEMENT LECTURE BY DITMARS Thought Processes of Animals Discussed by oo Curator. An interesting answer to the ageold debate on whether animals think or merely are actuated by instinct, was given by Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, New' York Zoological park curator, who gave an illustrated lecture last night on the Town Hall series. Motion picture studies of wild animals included a study of a monkey, which w'as given a lump of sugar, too hard to chew. The monkey soaked the sugar in his drinking cup, softening it, indicating a thought process, Dr. Ditmars said, as the monkey did not have the same problem presented in the jungle. A)incst human thought w r as shown in a movie of a colony of beavers building a dam in such a manner it would hold back water in a pond without permiting the water to reach their home.

THRONGS SET PARK RECORD DURING 1933 Despite Activity Fund Had $122,468 Surplus, Sallee Reports. Figures for 1933 show a recordbreaking attendance at all parks and recreation renters in Indianapolis, A. C.
