Effect Of Regulations.

The probable effect of these regula-
lions may be briefly stated as follows:
~ Uniformity in protection of mi
gratory and insectivorous birds in the
several states.
~ Protection of birds in spring
while en- route to their nesting grounds
and while mating.
81 Uniformity in protection Of mi
gratory birds at night
~ Establishment of protected mi
grafton routes along three great rivers
In the central United States
(5) Complete protection for five years
for the smaller shore birds and other
species which have become greatly re-
duced in numbers.
(6) Reduction of the open season on
migratory game birds, but in most
cases not more than 25 to so per cent.
% No change in existing conditions
before Oct. l. 1913.
Although the law names the more
important game birds. a regulation de-
f1ning groups is necessary to show def
nitely the kinds of birds included I'M
der the terms Fall other migratory
game and insectfvorous birds" In
framing these definitions the statutory
definitions of the various state laws
have been followed as closely as posi-
BILE, in so far as they relate to migra-
tory species; the birds have been ar
ranged in natural groups and the COM
mon names adopted by the American
ornithologists' union have been follow
ed when the birds have more than one
common name, since it is obviously
impracticable to include all the local
names.
Night Shooting.
The regulation prohibiting night
shooting is intended to bring about
uniformity in provisions now in force
In most states, protecting water fowl
and other birds at night or within GER
tain hours between sunset and sunrise
so that the birds may be unmolested
on their roosting grounds and may

Gives Greater Protection.
A closed season for several years Il
provided in an effort to harmonic the
absolute protection already given some
birds in certain states, the demand for
five year closed seasons for shore birds
and the necessity for greater pTotec-
ton for other birds which have been
hunted beyond the margin Of safety.
The protection accorded woodcock and
rail is already existing law; that on
swans has been made uniform through
out all the states and that of wood
cock extended from a few states in
the northeast to most of the states in
zone No. /, east Of the Mississippi riv.
er. The only important additions are
the additional protection given band
tailed pigeons in few states and the
closed season placed on avocets, cranes,
curlew, godwits, killdeer, stills, upland
plover, willet and the smaller shore
birds.
The suspension for hunting on the
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers
allows waterfowl safe highway from
their winter feeding grounds in the
lower Mississippi valley to their nest
ing grounds in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas and forms an extended refuge
which is easily defined and can be gen.
orally recognized.
Only Two Zones.
More than fifty separate seasons for
migratory birds were provided under
statutes in force in 1912. This multi
plicity of regulations or zones to suit
special localities has apparently had
anything but a beneficial effect on the
abundance of game. The effort to pro-
vide special seasons for each kind OF
game in each locality merely makes a
chain of open seasons for migratory
birds and allows the continued destruc-
ton of such birds from the beginning
of the first season to the close of the
last 1t is believed that better results
will follow the adoption Of the fewest
possible number of zones and so regu-
lating the seasons in each as to include
the time when such species is in the
best condition or at the maximum of
abundance during the autumn.
For this reason the country has been
divided into two zones as nearly equal
as possible, one to include the states
in which migratory game birds breed
Or would breed If given reasonable pro-
lection, the other the states In which
comparatively few species breed, but
in which many winter Within these
zones the seasons are fixed for the
principal natural groups-waterfowls,
rail, shore birds and woodcock. In no
case does the zone boundary cross a
state line and except in very. rare
cases the seasons are uniform through
out the states Deviation from this
rule leads ultimately to the recognition
of a multiplicity Of local seasons,
which had done so much to retard game
protection.

The Clean City Campaign.

Last nights meeting Of the clean city
committee gives evidence that the cru
sade for cleanliness and health in Wash
ington will be carried on this year with
even greater vigor than before. The
Star regards this as most important
work. deserving of the heartiest support
OF all citizens, inasmuch as it makes for
the well-being Of all members Of the
community. 1t is important not only as
a means of keeping Washington more
attractive in appearance. but as a means
Of maintaining a high sanitary standard
that all parts Of the city should be secured
thoroughly in the spring and kept clean
throughout the season.

falling off in the number OF insects.
The Star will continue its interest In
this fight, for 1t is one that makes for
improvement in the general health OF
the community. It hopes to gee the

citizen enlisted, and to continue without

bear in mind is that there is no particular
virtue in a spasmodic cleaning campaign

quickly confronted with great constitu-
ttonai difficulties. A less capable man
would have succumbed to the troubles In
which he was involved. Greece was

at times It pleased the powers to permit
Its traditional claims for a restoration OF
its ancient territory to be brought close
to acknowledgment and then to ddsap-
pointment. This made for domestic tur-
moil, In the midst OF which King George
maintained himself with strength ana

George I would have completed his nifty
years of kingship on the Goth Of October
next. He would have been sixty-eight
years Of age next December, and In all
likelihood might have reigned much long
er, as he was a man Of well ordered life,
in perfect health. To be stricken down
at a time when victory seemed to have
been won gloriously by the Greek people
against the Turks was a sad fate for this
man, who had given his life to a work

The announcement has direct reference

Taft administration favored the desire.
But the Wilson administration says no.

The Lost" Bow.

It il always easy to do detective work
after the facts have been ascertained.
Indeed, In almost all cases of profound
mystery the subsequent explanation is
the most rational and obvious. Take the
case of young Granville Dickey, who dis
appeared Sunday and for whom the
police. the Boy Scouts and citizens, and
even United States cavalrymen have been
searching. When the boy failed to return
from his walk the immediate assumption
was that he was lost in Rock Creek
Park. This was natural. because children
have been lost there before and it is a
big enough place to hide good many
small boys. Now it appears that this as
sumption was entirely wrong, and a
much more simple explanation Of his dis
appearance is given. Come to think it
over. 1t is extraordinary that when the
boy failed to return home word was not
sent Immediately to Charlottesville, Va,
to look for him. OF all places on the
map Charlottesville was the one that
would pre-eminently be the goal of a
wandering youngster. For it is at Char
lottesvilIe that the small boys eyes now
see the mundane axis projecting. 1t is
the pole. the pivot. Can any one ask
why? The future American League pen
nant winners are practicing there, vet
Grams and youngsters struggling daily for
pre-eminence, college teams fighting
against professionals, minor league and
major league teams jostling for places
on the ball field.
OF course. 1t was q very wrong thing
for Granville to go to Charlottesville
without telling anybody about his plan.
The small boys are apt to be inconsider-
ate in such matters, and probably when
Granville returns he will have learned
the lesson that not even enthusiasm for
the home team justifies an .elopement
that results in the assemblage of an
army Of searchers. And It Is to be hoped
that Granville's example will not be fol-
lowed by other small boys Of Washing
ton. however great their admiration for
the ball-tossers and their desire to see
them perform. But this much may be
assured. that If any more small boys do
disappear in the course OF the next
week or so their parents will wait for
| word from Charlottesville before calling
out the army Of the United States and
the Boy Scouts and the citizens gener-
ally.
Young Mr.. Di.key is to be congratulated
upon safe journey to Charlottesville,
and his parents upon the quick finding Of
their ambitious son.

The Working Girl Problem.
rom tho St. Louis Republic.

From tho st. Louis Republic.
Clubwomen have a field of work in con-
nection with the problem of the under
paid sales and factory girl which is Pc
culiarly their own because they are in
closest touch with the servant problem.
Thousands of girls now feel that do
nestle service is too hard for them and
are filled with the idea that household
work consigns them to a caste below
that of the factory and store worker.
Where a girl has a home and parental
care she may not be much the worse for
assuming this attitude. but the girl who
must care for herself IL in q very diff
ferent situation. She cannot begin work
at wages which will give her any more
than a bare living. She is not likely to
get even that, owing to the competition
Of girls who have homes, and this con-
dition is likely to continue for years. The
natural thing for her to do is to take UP
Homework. There she is assured Of board,
lodging, laundry. medical attendance. a
valuable training. wage from which
she may save a little, and a life relatively
free from temptation.

The Art Freaks.

There need be little fear that the post
impressionist school Of art will gain such
vogue as to dominate the artistic express
sion of this or any other country, not
withstanding the enthusiasm manifested
by certain admirers in the course OF the
exhibit of paintings and sculptures in New
York recently. Post-impressionism is not
an expression OF the period. 1t is not. in
fact. an expression of anything but the
wish of a few painters and sculptors to
be eccentric. Any one can be eccentric.
but not every one can commit his &C.
centricity to canvas or stone. and this is
fortunate. for doubtless if the oddities of
in all instances the world would be a
from the reproductions of some OF the
characteristic paintings and sculptures at
the "Modernsts' . show in New York, the
only marvel about the whole affair Is
that it should have been taken seriously
enough to warrant the hiring of hall.
Yet some commentators on the subject,
writing sanely and seriously, seem to
view with alarm this exhibition as a
token of decadence. There is no occasion
to be worried as long as pictures and
sculptures OL tHiS KIM evoke q lauSn on
the part of the multitude. No longer is
there any occasion for fear than the time
required for the average beholder to try
TO puzzle out the significance of some of
these astounding canvases. For sheer
stupidity and wanton waste Of good raw
materials this exhibition has exceeded
anything heretofore ventured. and 1t is
really to be hoped that the collection now
in New York, or at least the most radi-
cal items in 1t, may be taken from city

ject lesson. Just why the artistic tenn
permanent runs at times to these gro
tesque extremes passes understanding. II
has been said that genius Is closely akin
10. insanity. IL these works have been
produced by genius, the syllogism is com
plete. But fortunately 1t need not be ad-
mitted that mere inpudence Of design
and color is symptom OF genius. The
world is still sane notwithstanding the
cubists and their like, who have just had
their little week of wondermant and are
now to be relegated TO the limbo of the
freaks.

Direct Farm Loans by the State.

Minnesota is preparing to go the farm
credit plan in Europe one better" by loan
ing the money to the farmers itself. The
advocates of the plan hold that it Is the
duty Of the state to help settlers to build
up farms and homes. without subjecting
them to the hardships they have hitherto
had to undergo: that the state will thus
make a good investment with fair re-
turn and will. at the same time. build up
its own wealth and prosperity. But can
not all this be done just as well by or
plantations among farmers themselves
which are supervised and protected by
the state? There is DANGER In going too
far in the matter Of paternalism.
