HOW THE NEW FED
ERAL BIRD LAWS AT
Feet NEW ENGLAND

Every sportsman of New England
will be interested to know how the
new Federal Regulations for the Pro-
lection of Migratory Birds affect his
territory. He will want to know I'M
der what circumstances the Federal
laws take precedence and when the
state laws are effective. A little study
of these different regulations will be
necessary to determine whether he is
hunting legally or Illegally.
Under an Act of Congress, passed
March f. 1913, known as the Mclean
Weeks Bill, the Federal Government
was given the power to make regula-
lions to fix the closed season for mi
gratory birds. On october i, at 1910
o. m. these regulations were signed by
the President, as the statute requires,
and now have the force of law. I'm
der these regulations New England
comes in the Northern Zone or Zone
No. 1.
The Federal Regulations apply to
migratory birds, but not to all mi
gratory birds; only to migratory
game and insectivorous birds. If a
game bird is migratory it. is included
under the regulations. The ruffed
grouse, bob-white and prairie hen are
not considered migratory enough to
be included under these regulations.
On the other hand the woodcock and
snipe are included. All perching
birds which feed entirely or chiefly
on insects are protected at all times.
This includes bobolinks, catbirds
chickadees, cuckoos, hickers, fycatch-
ers, gros beaks, hunnming birds, king
lets, meadowlarks. nighthawks, nut

Your doctor will tell you ninety per

whippoorwills, woodpeckers and wrens.
Kingf1shers, for example which are in
sectivorous in small degree, are not
included, but they may be protected
under state laws.
Consultation with state and federal
legal authorities shows that they
agree that the Federal laws take pre-
cedence over State laws except where
the State law makes a shorter open,
season than the Federal law, in which
case there is nothing to prevent the
State authorities from enforcing the
State law For example: the FEEDER
al Regulations in Massachusetts, fix
the open season on woodcock from
October 10 to December i, while I'M
der the State law the season is es-
tablished to coincide with that of the
grouse and extends from October IL
to November 12. In such a case the
State law will hold, but when the
open season under the State law be-
gins earlier and ends later than that
under the Federal Regulations, the
Federal Regulations will hold.
The OPEN SEASON for migratory
birds in Zone No. 1 under the Fed
the Regulations are ais follows:
WATERFOWL, September to De-
cember IS; Exceptions in New Eng
land,-M aSSacnuSeIL 1TO1u SSPI0IApSI

FLOWER, JACKSNIPE and VEL
LOwLEGS, September to December

THE PH|L|P|NE
Reiterates His Arguments
Against independence
of The Islands.
MAKES LAST APPEAL.
President Reviews His Experience
Which, He Thinks, Should Make His
Judgment Worth Having.

New York, March 1.-On I.he eve o
his retirement from Office, Presiden
Taft, in a signed article in tine Ne:'
York Tribune today reiterated his
arguments against PHILIPPINE indie
pendence and declared that the sug-
gestion was dangerous, unwise, i'll
considered and inadvisable."
81 am glad to make one more ap,
ps.2l for tie little brown brother of the
PHILIPPINES" wrote the president. at
is no more possible to contemplate
the proposition to grant independence
to the PHILIPPINES now or at any
specific time without suspecion that 4
selfish desire to escape responsibility
constitutes large part Of the i'm
pelling motive, than it is to conten-
plate the conduct Of a father who i'm
poses like responsibility on an imma-
ture son without equal distrust."
The president then reviewed at
length his experiences in the islands,
which he said, make his judgment
worth having He analyZed in great
detail the various factors that make
up the population Of the dependencies
and insited ll,at everything possible
is now being done ito educate the ma
tives toward ultimate self-government.
But the process is very slow.
The policy of immediate splf-rule he
designated as merely disguised pol
icy to scuttle" which has lis inception
in misinformation and blind preju-
dice" In conclusion the president
said:
"In all sincerity, with malice toward
none, with no partisan, bias and only
thehonor of the United States, the
welfare of the Filipino ali heart, |
appeal 10 my successor, to those who
cherish fond hopes for the success of
his administration, and to the Ameri-
can people whose altruism in their
treatment of the Filipinoes has chal-
lcnged the world, to repudiate .his
ill-advised proposal and to carry on in
tie future, as faithfully and if posi-
bic more skilfully than it has been in
the past the wise policy toward the
Philippines which was conceived by
William Mckinley and which has been
steadfastly adhered to by those who
have been proud to follow in his foot
steps"

NINE. MouNTFoRD's LECTURE.
Rare Treat at Young Peoples Building
Last Night.

The promise of rare treat to those
attending Madam Mountford's lee
ture at the Young Peoples Building
last night on the Twenty-third Psalm
of David was fulfilled to the utmost
expectancy. Her talk was delightful
ly entertaining and wonderfully in
structive as her personal knowledge
of life in Palestine enabled her to tell
of Bible lands and their customs which
exist in the present day the same as
of yore, in an accurate manner. The
various garb of the shepherds "woven
without seam bespeaking their rank,
the comforting ''rod and staff and the
small ldouDle-edge dagger as their
defense, the different kinds of sings
carried, the small leathern- bucket
as the "cup that runneth over" for
the afflicted ones OF the flocks the
lunch pouch, the "reed played by the
wind" (the breath of man were very
interesting to see and to learn of. The
calling of the flocks to the green pas
lures and still waters" was very real
istic and Madame Mountford's i'm
personation of the shepherds charac-
ter was received with enthusiasm. .Shs
spoke of the lack Of appreciation of
David whose wonderful ability would
only be comprehended when at some
future date, the two hundred differ
ent musical instruments made by his
own hands were unearthed
No literature, either prose or poetry,
could ever be compared with his au-
thorship, and his followers eight
thousand strong, playing upon his
own handmade instruments and
trained singers bespeak his leadership.
Most touching was Madam Mount
ford's describing Of the little hundrsdt
lamb. Her reading between the
lines" Of the twenty-third Psalm gave
food for thought for ali of her hear
ers
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Alexandria free kin
and was largely attended.
