Wilhelm Tell

From Morristown, N. J. Albert Barrett, 46, set out for his Manhattan office one morning last week. About the same time that the wife of the superintendent of a ten-story building at Manhattan's Fulton and Greenwich Streets was taking her son's big, brown mongrel setter Wilhelm Tell up to the roof, Albert Barrett got to Hoboken, ferried the Hudson. Annoyed by a low-flying flock of pigeons, Wilhelm Tell gnawed and jerked at his rope leash. Albert Barrett got off the ferry, walked around the corner of Fulton & Greenwich Streets. Wilhelm Tell popped his tether, lunged at the pigeons, slithered off the roof. Sixty hurtling pounds of dog flesh struck Albert Barrett on the head, knocked him sprawling with a fractured spine. Ribs smashed and back broken, Wilhelm Tell died in the superintendent's arms.

Roosevelt for Ducks

Into the White House last week Connecticut's Frederic Collin Walcott shepherded his special Senate committee on conservation of wildlife resources. To President Roosevelt Senator Walcott proposed that the Civilian Conservation Corps, supplied with 1,000,000 Public Works dollars, begin at once to restore duck breeding-grounds, build sanctuaries. He also wanted passage of the so-called "Dollar Duck Stamp Bill" to finance such work in the future. All smiles. Senator Walcott emerged from the conference to announce: "The President authorized us to say that he is heartily in sympathy with what we are trying to accomplish and that he believed he could help us substantially."

The Duck Stamp Bill will make every U. S. duck-hunter buy a $1 Federal stamp to paste on his State hunting license.
