nation of vast tracts OF wild land for ag
riculture and other purposes encroaches
on the breeding grounds of game birds,
which are thus gradually becoming fewer
in numbers. while the demand for them
becomes greater and greater. Many OF
our insectivorous birds also are killed for
food despite the fact that state laws al
most everywhere prohibit such slaughter.
With these and other forces acting
against the welfare of our birds ii be-
comes doubly important to use every

OFFERS MEDALS FOR POLICE.
Miss Mathilde Townsend Would Re-
ward for Cuelty to Animals Cases.

Miss Mathilde Townsend, daughter of
Mrs. Mary Scott Townsend of 2l21 Mas
sachusetts avenue, who recently became
member of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. has mott
fed Chester A Snow, president of the
society. that she will give twenty gold
medals to members OF the police depart
ment who lead in the matter of enforcing
the law against cruelty to animals during
the year.
Her offer is that two medals shall be
given in each police precinct, being de-
sirous of having them distributed in all
sections of the city. The medals are to
be given those who have the greatest
number Of convictions to their credit.
This morning Mr.. Snow conferred with
MIj. Sylvester over the phone. The head
of the police department said he could
not do anything until he conferred with
Commissioner West, who is out of the
city today. The question of allowing the
police to accept the medals cahnot be set
tied until next week.
Several years ago Mr.. Snow gave gold
watches to several policemen who led
in the record OF convictions in cruelty
to animal cases. His first thought was
to give money prizes. 1t was afterWard
thought the watches would be better than
cash.
Miss Townsend was admitted to men,

of Cruelty to Animals only d short while
ago She has shown much interest and
proved herself an energetic worker.
1t is her idea that the offer of medals
to members of the Nlice department will
