One of the rooms in Westminster ab- bey that are of peculiar interest is the Jerusalem chamber, which was built more than 800 years ago and was probably at one time the abbot's with drawing room. It was in this chamber that Henry ". died, in curious fulfill ment of prophecy that he should die in Jerusalem:
 It hath been prophesied me many year I shall not die but in Jerusalem,
 Which vainly I supposed the Holy Land. But bear me to that chamber. There I'll lie. In that Jerusalem shall Harry die.
 And in the same chamber Addison, Congreve and Prior lay in state before their splendid interment in the abbey.

DO WE NEED CROWS ?
Information Sought by Government
 An Old Question Re-opened.

An Old Question Re-opened.
 H. K. Job, of West Haven, state orni- thologist, issues the following:
 That black rascal, the crow, is under fire again-as usual. In a government bulletin, published in 1895, emphasis was laid upon the value of the crow as a destroyer of noxious beetles, grubs, cut worms, rodents, and the like. It has, 1 however, been uphill work to persuade the hard-headed farmer that the crow was any good to him at all. He simply would not believe it. Apparently his. scepticism has shaken the faith of some of the scientists, for now the Bureau of Biological Survey is opening up again the whole question, and has sent out 8 circul IT asking for definite information on certain points. Now is the chance for the enemy of the crow to discredit him, if he can, and secure the reversal of the somewhat favorable former yer dict.
 Oonceding that the crow does eat a considerable amount of noxious insects and small vermin, the question is whether 1t does not i'll other ways do more harm than good. The present discussion will hinge upon certain points suggested by questions propOunded in the above cir cular for answer by the public. Among these the following are of special inter- est:
 First-"To what extent can the re- duction in numbers of our game birds, such as grouse and quail, and many smaller lnsectivorous species. be at tributed to the crow ?'' If crow de- stroys even one brood of insectivorous birds, it does ill that one act more harm than it could ever do Lf good. If it habitually eats the eggs of the partridge and quail, it might be proven an impor- tant agent in the lamented disappear ance of our native game birds.
 Second-"Do crows destroy much poultry and many eggs, and does the habit appear to be confined to few in- dividuals, or is it a more or less character istic trait of all the crows in your vii ciuity?" Crows certainly destroy con- siderable young poultry. and observa- Gions on this point will be of great value.
 Third-"Does it inflict serious damage upon the corn, either when sprouting or when in the shock, and does it appear to be as troublesome in your locality as it was years ago?" This is the old ques tion, one of great importance, opened again for information up to date.
 Fourth-"Do farmers in your locality resort to the practice of tarring seed corn? If so, how successfully has it protected the crop?" If this simple operation is really widely effective in saving seed corn from the attacks of crows, or of other birds or animals, the Knowledge of this will be of great value.

SheriHLoseS Race

A peculiar error lost Deputy Sheriff Edward o. Ginty, of Danbury, the op- portunity of attaching property in a damage suit. Sheriff Ginty had an action against DaRhury saloonkeeper and attached a liquor license issued in May, 1911. This license expired in November, 1911. and in consequence is now worthless. Meanwhile Constable Crofut, of Danbury notified the county commissioners that he had attached the same dealers new license. so Sheriff Ginty loses.

POMMERENE SAYS
OHIO DEMOCRATIC

New York, Sept 9.-Senator Atlee
Pommerene. of Ohio, was a caller at
National Democratic Headquarters to-
will stump the state In behalf of the
democratic ticket.
Perhaps the public is just as weary
OF election predictions as am"
said Senator Pommerene.
"A prediction prediction means
nothing nowadays, for as rule they
are so wild and unreasonable that the
public has lost confidence in them.
We who are making a special study
of political conditions cannot help,
however, from giving our best opin-
ion. At least try to give my best
opinion.
From all the information that I
have been able to gather and l have
been exceedingly careful in compiling
the data, / want to make just one pre-
dlction, and this is the only one l am
going to make in the campaign. and
that is, Wilson and Marshall will car
ry Ohio. You can use all the adjec-
tives you please and make this pre-
dlction just as strong as you can, for
| am as certain as a man can be that
Wilson will sweep Ohio.
Some OF my most conservative
friends have placed Wilson's major
ity at 10000 To be frank, do not
expect that big a majority. but am
sure that II will be over $4,000. and
II Ohio goes democratic, as It will. It
means that Wilson is going to carry
the country"

funds for building little houses for
their families and chelters for their

This exhibition OF generosity, in

upon him all kinds of abuse from the
neighboring proprietors-the charge
that he was encouraging socialism be-

no longer young after she passes twen-

passed on the question.
But there are dissenting opinions

of high local repute
"a girl is a girl until she is a
matron, even If she is not a matron
until forty"
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch,
the Evanston Justice of the Peace,
says mo woman is old at twenty
five. She is just as much a girl as at
nineteen years I understand that

younger girls and that Is why this
arbitrary age is made"
