have been about ffty-six. Cholera infantum
and teethirg G. together with infantile debil-

were two deaths from typhoid fever, one In

Children I'm the Street.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A. 80

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS a rider Of the wheel, l desire 70 cal,
parents attention to the dangerous in
diligence Of allowing their children to use
the street as a playground. There are &C
cidents daily which are purely unavoid-
able. as children will run one way and look
the other. or suddenly run from the pave
ment into the street and consequently get
run over. as the rider has not time to alter
his course or stop. 1t was my painful ex-
perience last Monday to knock down and
badly injure a child Of not over two years,
although l avoided running over the, ohfl.l
by throwing the wheel from under me and
only striking 1t with my leg. l hope this
notice will prove Of some avail to warn
parents to keep their babies out OF the
streets. and I think / voice the sentiments
Of every wheelman. ~ -

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Several years ago / read an article in The
Star to the effect that hawks were a benefit
to the farmer and that the number Of mice
&C.. that they caught more than .paii for
the chickens that were takeL by item. My
experience has led mo to consider. them tie
most exasperatins creatures that the poul-
try farmer has to contend with. and as /
have been very successful In catching them
will describe how II Is DONE hoping 1t will
be OF benefit to others: Early In the spring.
when the chicks are small. l scatter large
tree limbs about the yard and set posts
eight feet high here and there. with steel
traps on the top of each. On the approach
Of the hawk the chicks run under the limbs
for shelter. This makes II necessary for
him to light on something and wait for
them to come out again. The posts being
the most convenient, he Is, of course caught
the instant he perches on the plate. Lat er
on. when the chicks are larger and require
an unlimited range, different plan must be
pursued. The hawks young are old enough
to look after their own food and the
chicken. when caught. Is seldom carried
more than $50 yards away. or TO the nearest
shelter. Now 1t Is very important to see the
direction he takes. and, If possible about
where he lights. AS soon as he lights fol-
low him with a gun. On your approach the
hawk will nearly always rise with the
chicken to go to another place. II you are
near enough to shoot at him do SO, II not,
shoot the gun OFF and he will drop the
chicken. Now make circular fence around
the chicken of twigs foot long or more
(after first stripping off the leaves). having
an opening large enough to insert q steel
trap. Cover 1t with dead leaves and 20
away. In half hours time the hawk will
return and always lights a short distance
from the fence. and. as the door Is open, in
he goes and Is invariably caught. sf7 r.sIr..
