Save the Birds.

At the present time. when SO much
is being said and done about the con
servation of our natural resources, 1t
il perhaps well to call attention TO
an alarming state OF affairs In the
gulf states generally, and In Florida
in particular. Florida Is bird para
disc. It's almost tropical climate and
partial isolation, together with the
vide diversity OF conditions which II
presents, have made it the home OF
muttudes OF all kinds OF birds. many
OF which are rarely or never found
north of the state Especially ideal
surroundings are found for great
"rookeres' OF such gregarious spe-
cies as the ibis, spoonbill, pelican, her
on and egret. Before the advent of
civilization. with its attendant sports
men and plume hunters. there were
hundreds OF these avian cities, with
their thousands upon thousands Of In
habitants. Now. after years OF cease
less and wanton persecution, the more
plainly colored birds, such as the peli-
can, are becoming very scarce. while
the American egret. the snowy heron
and others whose feathers have a
market value. have been systematical
~ hunted down until they are on the
verge of determination. Amid scenes
OF the utmost cruelty. the Unsuitable
plumers have invaded the nesting col
onies. and from the parent birds torn
the coveted "aigrettes." leaving the
