arEDFORD M ATI; TRIBUNE, BEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. JULY 30. 1937. if HUNTERS SHOULD T PAGE ELEVEN Motherly Barnyard Fowls Enlisted by State Game Commission to Replenish Birds for Field Sport PORTLAND, July 30. (AP) Every time tportaman-hunter brings home china pheasant, one of the moat delectable of game birds, he ought to say "thanks" to the motherly, setting barnyard hen. If it weren't for her, the multi colored pheasant might soon be de populated from Oregon's hunting paradise. While paying tribute to the little red hen, it might also be ft good Idea to enlist the "drive safely" campaign ers in behalf of the game birds, for studies of the game supervisors of Oregon prove that the automobile kills more game birds than any other source, the hunter excepted. Hen's Role Told The part of the barnyard hen in restocking Oregon's hurting preserves was described today by Frank Wire, state game supervisor, who has the double-barreled Job of keeping pre serves stocked and keeping hunters from annihilating them. To offset the 100,000 pheasants shot annually In Oregon. Wire buys hundreds of young barnyard, hens each season to raise some 40,000 pheasant eggs. Protected in three state hatcheries, which will soon be supplemented by a fourth, the ma jority of the young pheasants might never survive but for the hen be cause their natural mothers loose ma ternal Instincts in captivity. Until game students discovered that the hen would raise pheasants, the state had a high mortality In hatch ing eggs with wild hen peasants. Wire said It was Impossible to set two hen pheasants In the same yard for If one hatched her brood before the other, the hen pheasant without; a brood grew quickly jealous and tried her best to kill the other's chicks. Pheasants Flighty I Another temperamental habit of! the hen pheasant is that she never! returns to a neat if it has been! touched by man. The ordinary barn yard hen, having none of these! traitor- will raise a brood of pheas ants as carefully as though they were her own, said Wire. - In a natural nest, the hen pheas ant goes about raising her young on a grand scale, sitting on 75 eggs. If unmolested, she will hatch most of them but anything causing her to move will result In 30 percent loss. Raised by Incubators at one farm and by barnyard hens at two others, chicks will be tried out on still an other method soon at a fourth farm being developed. There the barnyard hens will be cooped up but the chicks will be allowed to run free, their wings strapped to prevent flying until they are old enough to be released in the forests. Next to the automobile, the great est menace to game birds is predatory animals, followed in order by farm machinery and telephone and power lines. The farms at which hens are used are located at Pendleton and Eugene. The Oorvallls farm Is restricted to Incubators. Which method Is the most economical has not yet been deter mined. The fourth farm will be lo cated, at Ontario. fs .tT BUDGE EMBARRASSED WtTH PRAISE, KISSES AS CUP STARTS HOME LONDON. July 30. (fl) The Davll cup went west today.

Bryan (Bitty) Grants, lost In the crowd. Impatiently wished the train to be on Its way bearing him back to his native Georgia. "we've certainly been treated roy ally," he exclaimed, "but boyl I'd certainly like to see Peachtree atreet, Atlsnta, again.' Budge, whose singles and doubles play was given credit for taking the famed tennis trophy away from the British, was the real center of at traction. Old ladles pressed through the crowd to kiss the embarrassed Call forntan full on the Hps. Solemn gen tlemen with whiskers shook hands and declared 'we've never had a more worthy champion." Budge modestly dissented from this but promised everybody he and Msko would be back next year to defend their hard-won titles on Wimbledon's famed center court.

SSmp SURGEONS OFFER ADVICE TO HELP Injuries Often Aggravated By Awkwardness of Per sons at Accident Scene Amateur Aid Baneful CLEVELAND (UP) The crumpling crash of an automobile accident In variably draws an excited crowd of bystanders, witnesses and scores of 'helpful" suggestions for the care of the injured. From these crowds of curbstone kibitzers there Invariably steps "the good samaritan" who offers the use of his car and knowledge of the city to speed the crash victims to the nearest hospital. "The good Samari tan" supervises and aids in the plac ing of the injured In his car and then drives with all speed to the nearest emergency ward with his self-imposed "charge." The curbstone "good Samaritan" la somewhat of a menace and usually does more harm than good to the auto crash victims, believes Dr. George P. O'Malley, for 16 years head police surgeon of Cleveland. First Aid Hints "Reduction of trafflo deaths and serious Injuries depends most next to prevention of accidents themselves upon the clear-headedness of the persons on the scene," Dr. O'Malley said. "Once a smaahup has occurred, the problem of immediate Importance is to get the victim - to a hospital emergency room without aggravating his injuries." For the bystander to make faimeeli more useful at the scene of an auto accident, Dr. O'Malley gave . these rules: First Summon an ambulance. . Second Refuse to Jam an Injured person Into the first passing auto. Awkward haste and unskilled hand ling by the curbstone congregations are the two surest allies of death and disability that hover over every acci dent, according to Dr. Jonn Dicken son, state chairman of the commit tee on fractures of the American Col lege of Surgeons. "A simple leg fracture, for Instance, when the limb is not splinted, may be converted into a compound, with the Jagged edges of bone sawing through flesh and nerves like a knife. A splin tered rib may pierce a lung, . or a smashed vertebra sever the spinal cord during the apparently simple act of lifting a victim Into an auto," Dr. Dickenson pointed out. Women Called Calmest - Men at the scene of an accident, oddly enough, are much more excit able as a rule, than women, accord ing to Dr. O'Malley. A woman's nat ural nursing Instinct seems to tell her that the best thing to do for an Injured person is to keep him quiet and comfortable as possible. A man, on the other hand, la Impelled by an lrreslstalble urge to do something ac tive and positive,""'" He continued: . "The good samaritan" should cover victims with a blanket or coat, Warmth helps. Bleeding, if possible.! should . receive Immediate attention. It can be checked with a handker-1 chief compress or by finger pressure ' on the artery without moving the vie- i tlm. Before the numbness or shock has worn off the high-speed ambu- I lance-andstaff will be on the scene ! and the "good Samaritan's" Job is over. Students Type Faster KENT. O.
