DUCKS DECREASE.
A call for private philanthropy to create wild-life sanctuaries and remedy the critical water-fowl situation before public sentiment forces legislation to prevent hunting was made recently by T. Gilbert Pearson, President of the National Association of Audubon Societies. He urged men who used to hunt “to repay to the Nation, in the form of living birds, the sport afield which they have enjoyed during their more active years,” and suggested that the owners of shooting preserves might turn these into sanctuaries for the preservation of wild-life. —“Nature Magazine.”
