WHAT IS TO BE DONE FOR
THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS

The threatened determination of all
beautiful birds in this country in order
To satisfy the demands for ornamental
millinery has led to the enactment I'm sew

the protection of wild birds. Commits
sIoner Whipple of the New York state

Gently served notice through the press 10
the millners OF the state, retail and
wholesale. that his department intends to
use every legitimate means to enforce
the law prohibiting the possession or sale
OF the bodies or feathers of wild birds,
whether taken I'm that state or elsewhere.
The penalty for each violation OF the law
is SEQ fine and an additional $25 for each
bird, or part thereof, sold, offered for sale
or possessed This law seems 10 be sweep
ing enough TO constitute an efficacious
remedy so far as the state OF New York
is concerned. All the added beauty that
can be given to the creations of miliners
for the adornment OF ladies is not enough,
remarks the Case and Comment, to COM
pensate a civilized people for the infinite
loss to the everyday life OF many millions
of people. IL the beautiful plumage and
graceful fight OF the birds should disap

The destruction Of the birds, wantonly.
