There are added a few birds which still eliat,' but arc on the verge of extinction? Probably the best known and most talked about of recently extinct birds is the “Dodo” (Dir| dus Clucullatus) which beoame extinct about the end of the 17th Century (1680-1690). The 'reasons given by the book for tlrt “Dodo” becoming extimit were that its total inability of flight, ithc heavy slow gait, and tile umr‘fearlessneas from long immunity from enemies, led to continual slaughter of the bird for food bv the sailors and others whio came to and dwelt on Mauritius. But the final cause of the exter mination of this and many other birds In <4he Mascarene Islands was probably the introduction of igs, and also the Ceylon Mon ey. These animals increased enor- mduslyi in .numbers, ran wild in the roods, and soon destroyed all the ggswid young birds , they could ind. -v \ The book was purchased for the WHdliiJe Management department from Nada Kramar, Washington book dealer, for $227,65.

With the return of the buyer’s market, the major appliance indus try is looking to the nation’s cani- puse,s for young men who will car ry out the sales of various articles from electric irons to dishwashers. The Thor Corporation wants 10,- 000 college men to join their deal ers sales force. The new crop of college grad uates today are men of whom 85) per cent were war veterans, Hut- ley said. They are the type of men that mo$t organizations are look ing for because of their serious-l ness and ability to learn the new] ays of the business from the very attorn. unde ie. future is also good for the graduate.
