. DR. HORNADAY
SURVEYS WORLD
WILD ANIMALS
' EXPRESSES WRATH AGAINST THE
GAME BUTCHER, IN VOLUME
JUST OFF PRESS
Anything that the distinguished di
rector of the New York Zoological
Park, more commonly known to the
sweating Sunday crowds simply as the
Bronx Zoo, has to sav about animals,
either in the bush or the cage, is like
ly to be both interesting and profit
able. Dr. Hornaday, now a mellow
graybeard, has devoted his life to wild
animals.
In a recent edition of the New York
Times, is described “A Wild Animal
Round-up” a volume recently off the
press, the author of which is Doctor
Wm. T. Hornaday, who is very well
known to many Alaskans.
The doctor is a naturalist, sports
* man, explorer, taxidermist and epi
cure. Moreover, due to his love for
animals, he is the most articulate and
convincing advocate of the conserva
tion of wild life. A genuine but mod
est hunter himself, he looses his wrath
against the game butchers. In the
present volume, which is a collection
of magazine articles for the most
part, he keeps the conservation plea
well to the fore.
He tells of the cave-bord of Trini
dad, the lure of crocodile hunting, the
great brown bears of Alaska, the griz
zlies of the Rockies, the mountain
goat, the caribou, the American bison,
the muskox and the mountain lion.
Every bit of it is informative and oc
casionally it is exciting. And it has
a strain of wistfulness. In his preface
the doctor says in part:
“We who are responsible for this
. volume feel that there are a certain
number of old-fashioned nature lovers
who will care for these wild animal
records of yesterday, and also of today
in form for the library shelf. It will
not be many years more ere the most
beautiful haunts of nature are ripped
open by improvements, sacrificed by
roads and tourist camps, and every
where infested by rushing automo
biles. Already the wild beasts have
] fled to the remote recesses of the sec
i ond-hand forests. The game birds
are fast going down and out before
I the six million American guns. I fear
that even ten years from now there
will not remain enough wild animals
in the outdoors to salt their pallid fla
vor, or to interest the pleasure-mad
young people. The most and best of
the abundant wild life of yesterday is
gone! Much of it you will never see
nor hear of again, save in song and
story, and in other books like this,
printed in memoriam. Yes, there is
' one other way. You will see a small
amount of it in the beautiful habitat
groups of mammals and birds of our
i museum, and, believe me, all the mu
seum people now are hustling hard
i to make them while the making is yet
fairly good. Honestly, I am glad that
; I will not be alive to see the tattered
| remnants of “picturesque America” as
! they will appear fifty years from to
i day.
Thus in a spirit touched with sad
I ness, Dr: Hornaday rounds up his gor
geous collection of wild animals and
puts them on for one grand parade.
In addition to worrying about the
vanishing moose, caribou and grizzly,
Dr. Hornaday fears that unless some
way is found to save him the elephant
in his wild state will be doomed be
fore many more years. There are
still districts in Africa where the ele
phants are pests to farmers; the doc
tor concedes the rights of the farm
ers, but he points out that when Af
rica is more densely colonized there
will be no room left for the elephants
unless large preserves are establish
ed now.
Dr. Hornaday’s round-up is illustrat
ed with more than 100 photographs,
some of them the best in existance
dealing with animal life.
M’KINLEY PARR
WILL BE SHOWN
PUBLIC, MOVIES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20. (/p)
—Secretary Work and Stephen T. Ma
ther, director of the National Park
Service, have completed arrangements
for bringing the nineteen national
parks of the United States to those
who have neither the time, the auto
mobiles nor the money necessary to
view them.
Through cooperation with the Mo
tion picture Producers and distributors
of America, of which Will H. Hays is
president, and the Association of Mo
tion Picture Producers of California,
Inc., the 11,372 square miles of nation
al parks have been made available un
der proper restrictions, for motion pic
ture locations.
Secretary Work believes that the
parks should not be ilmited only to
those persons who are able to visit
them and his new' plan, he asserts,
will give the public an opportunity to
see the natural beauties of America
as background for appropriate motion
picture stories.
These will not be limited to histori
cal stories. Motion picture scenario
waiters wilj now be able to take char
acters in their plots to Crater Lake or
to the Lassen volcano or to Yellow
stone or Yosemite for photographing.
In no wray is the natural beauty of
the park to be changed. The atmos
phere, of the park will be retained
in every instance. The W'ild ani
mals that inhabit the parks will be
fair targets for the motion picture
cameras, as they now are for the cam
eras of visitors. If the motion pic
ture camera man can photograph
them without annoying them in any
way, the animals can be enlisted as
actors in the pictures.
“The motion picture is the greatest
present day teacher,” said Secretary
Work, “and has become an educator
and source of amusement of millions.
The number of visitors of the nation
al parks and monuments during the
travel year ended September 30, reach
ed a total of 2,073,684. Hot Springs
headed the list with 265,500 visitors
and Rocky Mountain had 233,912 visi
tors.
“Through the motion pictures we
shall be able to show all the parks to
all the people as they are. Appear
ing, as they will, as backgrounds for
stories, they will be presented in the
most attractive form and will do their
par£ to help entertain and instruct the
people of the world.”
