for a canoe ride on Cayuga Lake,
from which she never returned. He

GROWING SLOWLY
Federal Administration Has
More Engines Coming;
Car Order Is Short
Motive power conditions are im
proving slowly. New equipment is
being turned over almost daily to
the Federal Railroad Administration,
but the arrival of the new equip

ment in overcoming train delays. A
number of railroads report engines
sidetracked because of needed re
pairs, and lack of forces to make the
lepairs.
On June 30 the total number of new
engines turned over to the United
States Government was 1,504. These
locomotives are now in service. The
order for lvrw equipment is still un
filled, a total of 526 engines being
still on the order books.

GOOD START IN GAME
PRESERVATION
Although game breeding in the
United States is still in its infancy
there are to-day more than a mil
lion affiliated bird students and con
servationists, and half that number
of sportsmen who are working for
11
bird, and game preservation, says
the American Forestry Association,
of Washington, which" is conducting
a national bird-house building con
test to aid in this worthy movement.
It has been shown that many wild
game birds can be propagated suc
cessfully in captivity. In nature
probably less than 10 per cent of the
eggs of game birds develop into ma
ture birds. By artificial cultivation
as high as an 80 per cent yield has
often been attained.
