Another wanted socks. sus- penders and there were several re- guests for nail brushes. A Scots of- icer, asking for textbooks, said he was studying all kinds of subieris from early Scottish history to ar- chitecture and botany. The dispatch says little news has reached Lisbon concerning condit- ions in the so-called reprisai camp at Posen, located in an old fortress. At one time plight of prisoners there was bad. A traveller who vis- ited Posen 1n February reported see- ing British prisoners going to work 1n the fields with their feet wrap- ped in newspapers and their clothes in tattcrs.

Bet-ween Jan. 1 and April 30. 1941. 158 vessels, of 781,914 gross tons, were reported sunk 1n all parts of the world (according to our composite records, which we believe to be complete). Of these 158 vessels, only 12, of 16,762 gross tons, cleared from United States ports. .2. Cargo reports are available for 10 0f these l2 vessels. ‘These reports show an asscrument o! cargoes, ranging from canned soup and unes to steel plates, bars and b.1- ets, copper bars and wire, mo, wood pulp, chemicals to ammuni- tion, riiles, gun barrels, airplane en- gines ancl airplane parts. 3. Eight of the 12 vessels listed are included in a l1.t of some 205 vessels which cleared tram United States ports for United K‘ ‘ ts between Dec. 30, 1940, and arch 31, 194.1, and carried in their cargoes products subject to United States export licence. This indicates that only a very small proportion of these vessels failed to reach their destination. 4. Oi the four others, one (Ben- jamin Franklin) was left out o1 the foregoing 11st: two were Greek ves- sels destined for Greek ports (both sunk April 21); the 12th was a Swedish tanker Castor which cleared for Gotteberg March 11.

May 7-(AP)—A burlesque ending to one of the sea- son's tensest baseball dramas brought Dodgers a 4-3 victory over St. Dou.s Cardinafs at Brooklyn today in the first clash of a two- game series between the titans of the National League. The Cards. who won 11 games in a. row before dropping a decision at. Boston yesterday. remained in first place by a small percentage al- though the Dodgers advanced half is game in front in games won and o st. The Cardinals had charge c! the l game 3-1 going into the last half of the eighth inning. Then lean Lon Wameke, who had given only three hits previously, weakened in the face of the determined Dodgers and Mianager Billy Southworth trod to win by manipulating his pitchers in the manner made famous by his predecessor, Ray Blades. In the short span c-f the eighth and ninth innings he cleared out his bullpen by tnaklng four shifts for six bat-- ers. _At New York, Ernie Lombardi hit his second home run in two days in the second inning to decide an air- tight pitching ba tle between Bucky Walters and Hal Schumacher and give Cincinnati Reds a l-0 triumph over the Giants. At Boston, after both managers had been banished for protesting decisions, Braves put on a two-run rally in the ninth inning to over- take Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 in a wild and woolly game. At Philadelphia, big Bill Lee pitched and“ batted Chicago Cubs out or the cellar at the expense of the Phils. He limited the hornesters to five hits and got two home runs himself while his teammates blast- ed four hurlers for 18 hits and an 11-2 victory. ' Toronto wins Hoop opener NEW WATERFORD, NS.

The short but interesting history oi this Wild duck illustrate the value of marking birds wit-h officlal numbered bands. Once a bird is banded it assumesan individuality which makes possible the tracing of its migra-ton routes and the re- cording of its life hstcry. The 1n- foo-mation collected in this manner is used in the arminstration and framing of bird proiection laws to conserve acid perpetuate the various ‘es. spgcecause birds are iniemational tho work of banding ‘them is con- ducted in full co-opei-atilon between the Canadian and Uxntcd States Governments, and to a celtam _eX- lent with Newfoundland. MEXICO‘ and South American countries. In Canada most of the banding is done by about 200 voluntary work- ers. who hod permits issued tinder the authority of the Migatory Birds Convention Act. Thesp permits are issued only to persons with omlth- ological knowledge, and only offical numbered-bands are used.
