coNNETs VS.. BIRDS.
Easter EashIoas Cause u Slaughter of tbs
Little Son gsters.

Easter Eashioos Cause u Slaughter Of tbs
Litsle songsters.
The approach of Easter Sunday has
started a wholesale slaughter OF birds
throughout the country. says the Den
YER Republican. 1t is said that New
York city milliners alone demand 90
600 songsters. with which to trim the
hats of customers according to the die
tates of Easter fashion. This amount
is a mere bagatelle, when It Is consid-
cred that similar demand has gone
up from every village and crossroads
in the United States.
The worst feature Of this annual
slaughter of birds for the Easter mil
linery trade IL that songsterss and in
sect-destroying birds are no exception
to the general rule. All are included,
and. In fact, meadow larks. bluebirds,
and robins are especially desired, as
they make ''such pretty trimming"
There is not state in the Union that
can spare these birds. yet the slaughter
goes on, year after year, in spite Of
the protests of the few and the forma-
ton of Audubon societies and Bird De-
fender clubs.
Many kinds of birds are almost eX-
tinct in Colorado AT This day. and, II
the annual Easter slaughter of the in
nocents Is continued unchecked. fash
ion will soon have 10 seek new victims
for the reason that there will be no
more pretty birds to Kill. Before this
comes to pass, however. it is to he
hoped that the women of the country
will renliZe the enorin,y of the crime
they are perhaps unconsciOusly abet-
ting. Were there no market demands
for bright-plulnagcd birds. there would
be no slaughter. The milllners and
hunters are, in consequence. not most
to blame. The fashionable women
who pay large sums for the feather
trimmings on their hnts, hold out a
perpetual inducement for the breaking
of game laws and the laws of humani-
ty. Every dollar that Vanity Fair
pays for the bodies of birds IL an added
inducement to those who nre actually
engaged in the reckless, indiscriminate
and illegal slaughter Of mans little
friends.
Until the women OF the country re-
fuse to buy bird millinery there will be
no decrease of this wholesale tragedy
of the fields and woods, and until the
Easter bonnet is without it's feathered
corpse 1t will never symbolic the spirit
of the day on which II is worn.

THE Beers now stretch In thin line

their defense necessitates heavy patrol
