EXTINCTION OF
mm
NEW YORK, April 12 (by Associ
ated Press).—A warning against the
threatened extinction of the bald or
American eagle, the national bird of
the United States, was issued here
recently by the American Museum of
Natual History, which stated that re
ports indicated that “more than one
half and, perhaps, three-quarters of
the entire species, already have been
sacrificed.”
Destruction of the birds is attrib
uted to hunters in Alaska who are kill
ing them for a bounty paid by the ter
ritorial government. Never numerous,
the museum authorities say, more than
5,600 eagles were slain in a few
months in their favorite breeding
ground, the Alaska peninsula. Hunt
ers have extended their operations into
the British provinces adjoining Alaska,
it is said, to swell their gains.
After declaring that the American
eagle preys chiefly on large rodents
harmful to farm crops, for the con
trol of which the government annu
ally expends large sums, the museum
declares that “tales of the American
eagle’s destructiveness to game or do
mestic animals are for the greater
part pure fiction.” The bird, it says,
is migratory, and therefore no state
or territory can claim the right to de
stoy it. that right being vested in the
federal government.”
Recalling the fact that the wild
pigeon, formerly found in incredible
numbers in certain parts of the United
States, had been “utterly wiped out by
unrestricted shooting and the destruc
tion of their nests,” the museum says
that only the prompt passage of a fed
eral law will save the American eagle
from the same fate.
WELL OF ITS PENNIES
SPEED UP PRODUCTION
PITTSBURGH, April 12 (by Associ
ated Press).—By increasing the pro
duction of nails 15 per cent, steel mills
in the Pittsburgh district have elimi
nated fear of a shortage.
Building booms in New York, Chi
cago, Detroit and a number of other
cities have drawn heavily upon the
supply of nails on hand, and builders
had begun to fear for the immediate
future of their work. Pittsburgh con
tractors took up the question with the
mills, and full speed ahead was or
dered, with the result that production
soon overtook consumption, and au
thorities now say there are enough
nails for all building projects in sight.
