modern reprints of standard literary
works can be obtained at moderate
prices, volumes of more strictly con-
femporaneous interest are now habi-

AS consequence college students

tered from owning, aside from pre-
scribed textbooks, such volumes as
they need most, says the Rochester

Wild game birds are the property OF
all citizens, under the Roman and con,
tinental law. On this principle of com,
mon ownership the states of this coun,
try have enacted their laws. But
what of birds that alight but short
time within one state. then fly to an
other. and to yet other states? Are
they not the property of the people
Of the Union? Because no state cares
for them. the migratory birds of tbs
United States are going the way OF
the great aux, the passenger pigeon
and the parrokeet, says the New
York Times. William S. Saskell oil
the American Game Protection and
Propagation association argued before
the senate committee that, though the
title to the migratory birds has never
been adjudicated, common sense
would suggest that it belongs to the
federal government, and the authors
ties at Washington should give ample
protection to this fast vanishing wild
life.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE
NATTER. WAS
DELAYED
Butchers do Not Agree on
Question-Up at Regular
October Meeting.

Characterixing the present slaugh.
ter houses as "a disgrace to civiliza.
tion." Mayor Murphy last night in.
formed the butchers OF the city, who
we're at the special council meeting,
that. unless something definite is de.
cided on very soon, the city will con.
denim all the slaughter houses, and
make 1t necessary for them to provide
sanitary places, such as are required
by ordinance.
The proposition Of p. F. werstlein
to construct a sanitary plant was sub
mitted to the council. but, owing to
the fact that there was some opposi.
ton from several Of the butchers, his
plan was not very definite. Several
other butchers addressed the council
on the proposition, but nothing was
decided. I
The affair was left until the regular
October meeting of the council. when,
1t Is expected, the butchers will have
a definite proposition to offer.
Mayor Murphy was very outspoken
In his opinion Of the slaughter house
situation. He said that the offer from
Mr.. Werstlein was the first to come
to the council in the three years that
they had considered the question. He
expressed the belief that II no imme-
diate steps were taken by the butch
ers. the slaughter houses would all
be condemned by the council and clos
ed up entirely, so that sanitary places
would have to be constructed. He wal
willing to wait a reasonable length OF
time, he said, but he thought the
butchers should be able to agree on
some plan to submit to the council ~
the October meeting.
