Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Protecting Birds
Boys Should Be Taught Not Shoot Them and Schools and
Mothers Should Combine to
This End

Not one boy in a thousand re-

fur by the loving parent" who
goes away and leaves him to his
amusement.
At one of the resorts not far
from the city, a woman made her
self unpopular with her neighbors
(mOthers Of sons of the airgun
age), by telling the boys they must
not aim at or shoot birds Of any
kind on her grounds. Her action
was considered unneighborly and
her words Of advice to the boys to
study bird lore and learn kindness
were considered tmpertinent
There is nothing our publto
schools need more than to include
this education which the Audubon
Society offers in the school
courses. If you, dear madam, who
peruse these lines, want to help
make this beautiful world more

GRAFTON, in ordering or trimming
your autumn hat try and use good
common sense, and little indi.
vidual taste, and wear hat which
Is becoming and beautiful and en-.
tirely devoid of any part of dead
bird. Plumes from the ostrich do
not mean the destruction of that
bird, for the ostrich is a robust
fowl and the plumes grow while
the ostrich exists, just as the goose
grows new down each year. But
beside plumes, there are exquisite
grasses and flowers, and laces and
Jets, and velvets and ribbons and
other trimmings which can make
headgear attractive.
Use your good taste and ask
your milliner to show some orig
Inal ideas in building you q hat.
Remember the osprey and al
grette mean the death and torture
or the mother birds, and the slow
starvation of their young as a rule.
ANY refined woman should be
ashamed to be seen wearing an
aigrette. Spun glass and preserved
grasses and ferns produce quite as
artistic effects.
Help the Audubon Society save
birds.

.kHEAR FRIEND:

. y
- please permit us to call
your attention to a great
and serious evil now menacing our
insect-eating birds. Millions Of
small birds in migration are de-
stroyed yearly by the people Of the
Southern States and used as food.
This destruction, now increasing,
is having serious effect on the
numbers Of song birds in the
North. Negroes are armed with
guns, and many are proficient in
other means Of destruction. In
the Moth, also large numbers of
foreign laborers coming from Eu-
rope kill small birds for food It is
only recently that little birds were
sold in large quantities in New
York City, and they are still sold
by thousands In the South.
The Audubon societies, which
have already checked the killing
of native birds for millinery pur-
poses, now propose to stop the
slaughter Of song birds for food in
this country. This is a stupen-
dous task 1t must be done by edu-
eating the public through the
schools. the press and the clergy,
and by securing better laws and
BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LAWS now on the statute
books. The scarcity of robins,
bluebirds and bobolinks is becom-
ing noticeable over wide areas.
VIII you not help us TO the best
of your ability to stop the slaugh-
ter which is now depicting our
fields and woods of feathered
songsters? A word of encourage
ment will be appreciated
Yours sincerely.

THAVE just learned of a singular
thing which happened this
autumn on the famous pass
of the Great St Bernard over the
Alps
The hospitable monks in the
monastery at the summit of the
pass. at an elevation Of more than
5000 feet above sea-level, were as,
tonished one evening to see, in
the midst of a sudden snowstorm,
a black cloud approaching from
the north
The strange apparition soon
resolved itself into a vast flock
OF swallows, which had apparent
ly been driven from their road
near the beginning Of their an
nual migration toward the SUMMER
lands on the south of the great
mountains, Probably they had
been confused by the driving
storm.
The monks instantly opened
wide all their doors and windows,
and the poor birds, accepting the
invitation in the spirit in which it
was offered, Immediately swarmed
into the warm halls by thousands,
and even flew into the bed
chambers of the monks, who vel
coined them freely wherever they
chose to go.
They We're fed and lodged for
the night. and the next morning
when the doors and windows were
opened amid a burst of warm sun
shine, the birds ioyfully, and we
may suppose thankfully with a
multitudinous huttering of wings,
took their departure toward the
south, quickly descending into the
genial atmosphere Of Italy.
Then the good monks went forth
amid the newly fallen snow, and,
with heavy hearts, found hundreds
of birds scattered about on the
mountain side, where they had
persisted, being unable in the
binding storm to find their way.
with their comrades. into the hos
pitable shelter of the monastery.
This incident, SO full Of the milk
of human kindness. recalls one Of
the great mysteries of bird life. 1t
is known that few species of birds
remain in northern climes during
the winter With unerring instinct
they discern the approaching close
Of the warm season. and start in
time to reach more sunny lands be-
fore they are overtaken by the in
vading SHOWS.
Long observation has shown that
there exist well-mmked tracks
which these migrating birds fol

both to the south in autumn and
back to the north in spring.
They 80 in immense hCcks. travel
thousands of miles. and only a
pelting storm can drive them tenn
porarily out of their aerial roads.
Generation after generation the
birds take the same invisible WAYS
through the air Many Of them fly
at great height. and evidently

Shriners Are Ready For Annual Ball
 Tomorrow Night

One of the chief social events of the season will be the annual concert and reception given by the local Shrinera
 at the Stratfield tomorrow evening. This will be the most elaborate affair of it's kind given in Bridgeport in
 many years. z Delegations will be pres ent from New Haven, Hartford, Staln- ford, Danbury, South Norwalk and New Milford.
 Among those officers who have ac- cepted invitations to be present are: l William, F. Loornis, potentate of Sphinx temple, Hartford; Robert D.
 Williams, potentate and official divaH from Mecca Temple, New York City, and Henry s. Strong, Chief Rabban from Sphinx temple, Hartford. The Arab Patrol under the direc- ton of Chief F. A. Bartlett held their final drill last evening in Masonic temple and they will present some very startling effects in the fancy
 drilling. Being attired in their full arab costume, resp1endent in all the colors so loved by the arab chiefs, they
 will make a picture long to be remem- bered.
 The committee in charge predict 1 that the ball room will be crowded to | it's capacity and they have left nothing undone that will make the occasion an enjoyable one. It is a safe predic-
 ton that the reputation of the Mystic 1 Shriners as entertainers will more l than be sustained in this event.
