THE SCARCITY OF BIRDS
THE LOCAL GUNNERs REPORT SPORT
DISAPPOINTING.
Warmer Weather VIII Improve Con-
ditions-Lavs Governing Marsh
Shooting I'm Maryland.

There were more disappointed gunners in
the District of Columbia today than ever
before in it's history. Scores and hundreds
of them, armed with all sorts of guns, went
out on the marshes in the vicinity of the
city as soon as objects were visible. and
waded or were pushed in skiffs through the
wild oats in quest of ortolan and reed birds.
The favorite spots. as always, were in the
marshes of the Eastern branch. and small
army was there; bat there were also large
contingents at Four Mile run and Roach 3
run and Gravelly creek When a Star re-
porter visited the sporting rendezvous at
the west end of Benning bridge at o clock
today he found dozens of gunners, but very
little game. The report of all was the
same ortolan were scarcer than ever
known before on an opening day, and reed
birds few and very wild. the fiocks going
high above gun reach, and seldom settling
on the oats.
The best bag of reed birds reported on
the early tide was seven dozen, killed by
Marion Fowler. No one had bagged as
many as a dozen ortolan. A hot spell will
probably bring more reed birds and or
tolan. but present Conditions OF the sport
are poor indeed.

Life Boat. on the Scene.


The lifeboats were quickly loaded on wag-
ons and hurried to the scene of destruction.
The torrent surged with awful force for
hours in Deering street from Fairmount to
the boulevard, and over a dozen families
were penned in like rats in a trap with
water five and six feet deep surrounding
their homes. At this point the Hfe-saying
crew worked valfantly, and assisted by
squads OF firemen and policemen, finally
succeeded in landing the terror-stricken
people In places of safety. The fear was
pectation that the great Shaker Heights
dam would break loose and belch forth ter
rible destruction.
Shortly before noon the torrent succeeded
In undermining score of graves in the st.
Joseph cemetery, at the corner of East
Madison and Woodland, and the bodies
were soon being tossed about in the wa
ters. Fully a dozen Of the corpses were
washed into cutters, and had not been re-
covered late last night
The great flood boiled over the banks ~
Doan brook and all along the boulevard
and caused damage that 1t will take months
TO repair. Great jagged holes are torn in
the beautiful driveway. and the look Of

Course Of the Flood.


Great volumes of water poured over from
Doan and Giddings brooks down Quincy
street, swamped Vienna street rushed over
Cedar avenue back over on East Prospect
street, rushed like a mill race down Lincoln
avenue to Euclid avenue and then on to
Glen Park place. where houses were under
mined as though built of straw. Almost
incredible damage was done the streets
and property.
Over a large share of this exclusive resi-
dence territory the water rushed with ter
rifle force. varying in depth from one to six
feet. Culverts. trestles and bridges were
torn down. and for hours nothing seemed
capable of stemming the tide of rain
Hundreds Of residents, who were impris-
oned in their beautiful homes like stranded
islanders were almost panic-stricken, ex-
pecting to be called upon to wade out into
the swirling waters at almost every min
ute. Danger signals were flashed about the
city as speedily the disabled telephone
system would allow and the work of rescue
commenced. Rowboats piled back and
forth. assisting whole families from peril
Gus positions. but these proved pitifuliy in
adequate. and it was soon found necessary
to go to the extraordinary precaution OF
calling on the life-saving crew from the

Meeting Held TO Discuss The
Test System.
ARGUMENTS USED ON THAT OCCASION
To Be Convention in Manitowoc On
Jan. 20.
TWO DELEGATES FROM EACH DISTRICT
All Cheese Makers VIII Abide by The De
cisi0n Of The Convention
Held Next Month.

The cheesemakers of Manitowoc conn-
~ held meeting at the Branch Sat,
urday evening for the purpose of discus
sing and devising some plan of intro
ducing the test system. 1t was argued
that the ten pound system has been pro-
ductive of evil results to all concerned
Under the operation of this system
farmers were induced to keep cows Civ
ing large quantities of milk without re-
gard to quality and this in time reduc
ed the quality of the solid amount OF
milk to such an extent that, at present
it is impossible for cheese makers
to give ten pounds of cheese for every
one hundred pounds of milk.
1t was also argued that cheese makers
rot being able to make as many pounds
. cheese as they had to give account
fol- and being compelled to pay for the
number of pounds they are short, are
not very anxious to receive the highest
price for their product
For the above and other reasons il
was argued that the adoption of the test
system would result in improved stock,
milk Of better quality, better cheese,
and higher prices; and that the ultimate
results would bring more money to the
pockets of ALL and would enable all to
move about in an atmosphere not faint
ed with suspicion.
The meeting, feeling that their pur-
poses and aims can only be accomplish
ed by a hearty cooperation of CHEESE
makers and their patrons, resolved that
every cheese maker he requested to call
a meeting of his patrons before Jan. 20
for the purpose of discussing the test
system and electing two delegates to a
convention to be held at Manitovoc.
1t was also resolved that in case the test
system is adopted it be recommended,
the cheesemakers agree to engage some
experienced and competent man to do
the testing. This man to test the milk
at each factory twice month.
Among those present were: Peter
Mason, Chas Meisnest. August Frh-
rman, Peter Bleser, c. j. Fockett AL

to great extent, biographies of great
men. as Lincoln and Washington.
should be read when the pupils take up
the period of history in which these
men figured. Selections from several
books can be assigned on some one topic,
as John Browns Raid, and in many
other different ways the library can be
used to supplement the work in history.
When the pupil reaches the upper
form. the library has new uses for him.
By this time the pupils have begun to
show preference for certain classes Of
studies. Some will like history better
and some will like science The teach
er should encourage the pupil to do ex-
tensive reading in his chosen field al
though the pupil should not be allowed
to pursue his reading all along one line.
In this form, many beautiful and in
spring passages found in library books
should be mastered. A few literary
masterpiece as Legend of Sleepy Hollow,
Great Stone Face and the like should be
studied carefully by teacher and pupils
together. This study will ne repaid not
only by better understanding of these
masterpieces but they will make the
acquiring of other masterpieces easier.
In the upper form, the power of dis
terminating between good books and
poor books shonld be gained This can
be done only by careful reading of
good books.
The teacher may often read selec-
lions from some book for opening ex-
ercises but not read the book entire.
This will secure prompt attendance in
the morning and will often incite the
pupil to read all the book The teacher
should often talk to the pupils about
the books they read. This will lead
them to talk about the books at home
and the parents will often be interested
enough to read the book
Probably the most important thing
for the teacher to consider is that she
must love and read good books herse IT,
The liking for good literature will go
from teacher to pupils and if the teach
er does not use the library the chances
are 1t will not be used by the pupils"

SUIT INSTITUTED
AGAINST THE NORTH
WESTERN ROAD

Proceedings to secure condemnation
for damages of tracks of the Chicago
& Northwestern Railway company were
instituted in Circuit court Saturday by
John Pail and Frank Mushil and the
case was heard before Judge Kirwan.
The trouble originated over the laying
of double track by the c. s. N. w.
between this city and Calumet and the
property upon which it is thought to re-
cover damages is located in the vicinity
of the plant of the East Wisconsin Can
ming Co. The city granted permission
to the company for the laying of the
tracks, but property owners claim dam
ages as a result.

TO SUBSTITUTE THE
LARGER LOCOMOTIVES
ON THE E. & N. W. R. R

The Chicago and Northwestern rail
road will substitute large freight loco
motives on this division for those which
are in use at the present time. The
freight traffic over the road has been so
tremendously heavy that the company
has been forced to double head almost
all the freight trains going East and
West. This, of course, is extra expense
because it means double operating ex-
pense so far as locomotives are concern
ed. To be able to operate the larger
locomotives the curves must be taken
out this side of Kaukauna.
