The history of bird protection in the United
States naturally and of right, is connected Win
the history of two organizations, the various
state Audubon societies for the protectlon OF
wild birds, and the American Ornithologists
union Recently William butcher OF New
York, who is the president of the National AS
sociation of Audubon societies and fellow OF
the American Ornthologsts' union, told the
ornithologists of the world assembled In con-
yention in European city the story of the
bird protection movement in North America.
Mr. butcher and all the other officers OF the
National Association of Audubon societies are
men who haye devoted their lives to the study
of birds and to their protection.
A celebrated French scientist said not long
ago that IL the bird life were to be swept out
of existence man could survive only a few
months. Because of the ravages of the insects

A Neek.Tle and Apron Party.

This really is an old time stunt, but
like many other old things has been
rejuvenated. The hostess prepares AZ
many cheese cloth aprons as there are
men and as many pieces OF silk or rib
bon as there are girls. When all arrive
the men are given spools OF thread
and told to find the girl who has an
apron TO match II. In this way part
ners are chosen and the girls put on
the aprons after the men have sewed
the hens and sewed on the strings.
Allow half or three-quarters OF an
hour for this. Next the girls are CIV
en- the necktie pieces and they are
gathered together and put through n
door, each girl having hold Of an end.
the door is closed and the men are
to come in and take hold Of an end.
When each man has an end. the door
is opened and the girl who has hold
of the other end must fashion neck
tie for her swain. The latter puts IL
on and the girl puts on her apron, and
thus partners are selected for supper
or refreshments. This Is a very jolly
party, adapted to private parties or
for church social.

scientist Is right. that in making their fight
for the birds the defenders have been making
their fight for man, fact which is not ap
preciated by some of those who would suffer

men whom on occasion they have seen fit to
call cranks, f.-s
To lead up to the establishment OF the Au-
dubon societies, of which nearly every state
in the Union has one, 1t might be said that 1t
was not until the year 1883 that the public In
the United States awakened to the fact that
too many wild birds were being slaughtered.
largely for millinery ornaments and other dec
oratiye purposes. In addition, thousands or
song and insectivorous birds were killed annu-
ally for food. In his story OF the movement
for bird protection President butcher told OF
the beginnings of the crusade to save the
lives of the songsters which year by year were
coming back to the farm and the garden in
greatly decreased numbers. Mr.. butcher said.
speaking of the condition in 1883:
The newspapers published items almost
daily on the subject and many strong edito-
rails were written. quotation from one OF
these entitled The Sacrifices of Song Birds
will show the earnestness of the press In re-
spect to the situation: The destruction OF
American wild birds for millinery purposes
has assumed stupendous proportions. The I'M
holy work gives employment to a vast army
of men and women and this army wages its
campaign of destruction with diabolical per-
lection of system
'"The editorial in question further refers
to details OF the work published in other col
umns of the paper, which furnishes evidence
of the CHASTITY character Of the business. The
NJ agitation
that the American Ornithologists union at Its
annual meeting held in New York city Sep
TENDER so, 1884, appointed committee OF Its
members to investigate the extent of the al
legged wild bird destruction and to devise
means to stop the slaughter by legal or any
other legitimate method.
s'This committee found that the claims OF
the press and of individuals were not In the
least exaggerated, but on the other hand did
not fully represent the terrible inroads that
were being made on the nongame birds,

It was the result OF an appear maue ~

under the direction of the department OF ag-

which were useful to man.
As William butcher says further IN ms
story of the protective movement:
.;In recognition of the action taken by the
American Ornithologists' union In securing the
appropriation the secretary OF agriculture III
yited the council OF the union to select SUI
perintendent to carry on the work ana at d
subseouent meeting held In washington III
clinton Hart Merriam was selected as the SUI
perintendent and Dr. Albert X. Fisher as MS
assistant. Both Of these noted ornithologists
were among the founders OF the American Ut
nithologists' union"
II was from this humble beginning that the
present biological survey division OF the
United States department OF agriculture, mas
grown. 1t is perfectly apparent from the let
tiers which agriculturists send to washington
constantly that the Work OF the oioiosieai o
vey has It's value appreciated more and more
every year. The, survey has published great
mass Of valuable statistics OF the food habits
of birds and their relation to agriculture and
forestry.
AS has been said. there are Audubon soci-
cites for bird protection in nearly every state
in the Union They are affiliated In one great
society called the National Association OF Au-
dubon societies. The writer OF this article
from personal knowledge can speak OF the be-
ginnings Of one of the largest and most ac-
tive of the state organizations.
Persons who were known to be Interested In
birds were asked to meet to form protective
organization good many persons not par
ticularly interested In bird protection also
were invited. Several women came to that
first meeting, wearing the pumage OF wild
birds in their hats At first the society In
