That list includes the names of some of the most successful business men in the United States. They are not in the Foundation for sentimental reasons. They are in because they see the economic value of Faster Travel~ Over the West's Largest Bridge California’s historic old car ferries, Solana and Contra Costa, are being retired. So ends one of the fascinating phases of western travel which survived for half a century but has now become too slow. In their place stands a monumental example of engineering and construction progress, the new Southern Pacific railroad bridge across Suisun Bay. Forty-four million pounds of steel were required in the vast superstructure of this bridge. Erecting this steel was a difficult task and several Industrial Brownhoist heavy-duty erection cranes were used by the American Bridge Company on the work. The structure was completed in record time and six weeks ahead of schedule. Greater speed at lower cost is the need today and nowhere is this more essential than in the handling of materials. Thousands of owners will tell you that an Industrial Brownhoist locomotive or crawler crane is the best answer to this challenge. You can determine this for yourself by letting our representative show you some of these cranes at work. The time spent will be well repaid.

Recently Governor Gardner of North Carolina, one of the founders, called a conference of game raisers, sportsmen, farmers, educators, and legislators to take steps to make his state a model in game-bird laws and in research, education and experiment. The More Game Birds Association of North Carolina was brought into existence. Model farm and school THE first act of the Association will be to establish a model breeding farm. The farm will act as a laboratory for classes in breeding and raising now being set up at the State Agricultural College. A legislative committee has been formed to consider existing game laws, and draft a new bill which will supersede all present laws in conflict. At that conference, which was held in my home on Mackay Island, I called attention to the fact that prob-_ ably not more than 100 men in the United States today are fully qualified to raise game birds. Great Britain has 12,000 gamekeepers. America, at the same ratio of population, should soon have three times that number, which, at salaries of $2,000 a year or more, would mean a vast amount in wages for a vocation hitherto practically unknown in this country. é Don’t let the old Tarheel State get too far ahead of yours, for they are out to make that state the “Scotland of America.” And remember that propa- gation is the keynote—propagation and not restriction.
