(Pub. July 29, Aug. 5 A Iff . Racing Pigeons Endowed With Unusual Stability According to some.authorities, racing pigeons date back 3,000 years. Pigeons have been useful in all wars, including both World War I and World War n. They were of high value during^ the Middle Ages, when mc scales' concerning activities at the battlcfronts were sent to base conr* menders. During the early part of the last War, the demand for birds by the military was greatest upon English breeders. Since the hav^c among the birds was terrific, repeated appeals were sent to the United States for some of its distance birds, and tens of thousands were sent, via plane, to battle stations in Furope. One of the most remarkable things about the racing pigeon is its ability to go along Indefinitely without oxygen. This was repeatedly demonstrated during the war. If a plane ericountered trouble, and had to be abandoned, it was the custom of fliers to close tightly the box in which the birds were kept and toss the box overboard: On repeated occasions, such airtight boxes were retrieved, after hours of floating on the water, and the birds were undamaged.
