NEW LIFE FOR U.S. EAGLE
WASHINGTON. Law-makers here are taking steps to guard the life and future of the living emblem of American power and freedom. the bald eagle. For the last 10 years a stringent law against molesting this eagle, its eggs and nest, has been in effect throughout the 48 States. But it is just lately that legislation has got under way oh behalf of the bald eagles of Alaska, where most of the birds are found today, and where they long have been hunted for bounty prize money. A social measure extending protection to them has already been voted by the House and is nov. being considered by the Senate. I'he bird lives only in North America. —Reuter.
