The canvasback, most famous of
wild fowl, is a purely and exclusive
ly American species, ranging during
the year over practically the whole
north American continent. But now
this duck is little more than a bird
OF history. It has been almost exter-
minated by the gunners. Once the
delight Of the epicure, it promises
soon to become curiosity.
Canvasbacks breed principally in
the interior of British America and
Alaska. They make their first migra-
ton southwark during October. AS
they are a very nardy bird, many
canvasbacks spend the winter in the
northern states. But it is in the mid
die and southern states, particularly
IN the Chesapeake, that they con-
gregate in greatest numbers.
When they have fed for sometime
upon the vallisneria or wild celery,
their flesh is unexcelled among wild
fowl. But If they are not able to get
this. food they taste very little bet
ter than the poorer species, and are
far inferior to such river ducks as
the mallard, the dusky duck, CAD
wall, teal, or pintail.
Canvasbacks closely resemble red
heads in general appearance. But the
long, straight black bill and darker
forehead are characteristic of the
canvasback alone The redhead has
a moderately short blush gray bill
and uniform light chestnut fluffy
head .
Often redheads are substituted
for canvasbacks upon the unknow-
ing purchaser. On the same feed
ing grounds one is about as good as
the other. The fraud consists in that
while the price of the readhead is
very reasonable, that of the canvas
back is fabulous.
The canvasback comes nicely to
decoys usually, particularly if live
dusky ducks are used.* But they
become very cautious if they are
much hunted, especially in the
North, where they go generally in

ninth, but the needed run to tie fail
ed to materialize, Bender realizing
the danger and pitching his best.
Unlike previous battles, the lower
half Of the batting list bombarded
Demaree from the mound and gave
Marquard a taste 0 ftheir ability.
With the assistance of Oldring, this
quartette, McInnis, strunk, Barry
and Schang, mixed hits with clever
work on the paths for run in the
second. three in the fourth and two
more in the fifth.
It was the narrowest kind of an
escape, and but for the equally
heavy hitting Of the, Athletics in the
early part Of the game, and some
brilliant displays Of defensive stac-
tics, the Giants would now be. Son

was effective. however, in that it

much against such feat. but the
Giants are prepared for the last

WANTS CITIZENS TO
HELP ENFORCE THE
TRAFFIC MEASURE
Weatherly Calls for Volun-
teers to Act as Special
Officers to Cooper
ate With Police

City Commissioner Weatherly has
issued a call for private citizens to
come to him and offer their services as
special officers to enforce the traffic
ordinance. Mr.. Weatherly recently re-
ceived information of how the citizens
of Dallas, Tex, are cooperating with
their city officials in enforcing SINH
lar ordinance and he thinks the same
could and should be done here.
Following such invitation from
Mr. Weatherly some time ago Fred M.
Jackson, a well known civic worker
appeared before the commissioner and
was sworn in as a special officer to
help enforce the speed laws. Mr. Jack
son, however 1t appears is the only
man who has taken such step. Now
Mr.. Weatherly calls upon other citizens
to follow Mr.. Jackson's example.
The information from Dallas is that
the motor clubs of that place have
taken a special interest in the enforce
of the laws and have offered the use
of cars and the services of individual
members in running down speeders and
arrest them. Special officers have been
assigned to aid in enforcement of the
law, which Is very similar to the one
adopted here a few days ago.
Mr.. Weatherly Is looking for wait
ing" line Monday morning.

the end of the year.
TN Madison county, Judge r. e. Pet
tus, United States jury commissioner
of the northern division of the north
ern district of Alabama is permanent
chairman and Madison county is eager
to develop an association of it's own.
The same is true of Marengo county

"The Birmingham association has re-
ceived a generous contribution of $500
from friend who prefers to be anony-
nous. This is a great help in clearing
off indebtedness on the current ex-
penses. 1t Is hoped that 1t will stim-
ulate other generous donors to set the
association free, as it is still running
every month with an accumulated
deficit There are seven pathetic cases
upon the waiting list"
