coNNEcTICUT's NEW MARRIAGE
 LAW

After today Connecticut will not bs an inviting place to those who for any reason would marry in haste. The new law requires that non-residents shall give three days notice of their intention to marry. to the town clerk Issuing the license which prohibits anything like suddenness in the mat rimonial line.
 Under the states present economic policy the laws are not published and even the officials whose duty 1t is to obey them find difficulty in fully learn ing their purport
 The Bridgeport Telegram is right when it says
 "A more ridiculous situation is hard " conceivable in any state than the one that confronts us this year, with regard to new laws. Many of these laws are either already technically in force or are shortly to become ef- 'ective. but the officials whose duty it s to enforce them are absolutely in ignorance of the texts of the new statutes and have no means, other than hearsay, of knowing how to enforce them"
 Money spent to teach the law to the authorities and the people is not an sxtravagance or waste of money.

The chiefs choice of four favorite singers was wise, and we must all ad- init the compelling music of his gros- beak, robin. purple finch. and wren. But listen to my favorite four and then say no more. Brown thrasher, prima 10nna assoluta, song sparrow, spring inspiration, wood thrush haunt ing notes, meadow lark, ecstatic lisp. An equal suffrage person at my side insists on her woodsy favorites, vel and tanaSer. She also presents the claim of what she calls her true blue quartette, bluebird, indigo bird, blue yellow back and blue jay. What! Blue jay no song ?' Then you never heard his finished futing, rare ven triloquism, and perfect limitations of the red-shouldered hawk.

On the face of this report it is ap- parent 1913 has been the best year but two in the list for labor, 1903 and 1906, and an exceptional first year for an administration. Since June there has been quite a change come over New England, and we know that the passage of a tariff bill two per cent worse than the Wilson bill means not only dull but dis tressing times for this part of the country.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-08-01

When a better tariff bill than the present one was presented in congress seventeen democratic congressman of New England voted to save New Eng land industries, but now they are pledged to support a worse bill. How will five congressman from Con- necticut appear voting against Con necticut industries and the interests of the working people?

THE QUAIL TRAP
Tale of TenagersCitybred GrosbeasDecided Increase Number of Birds-Bobwhite's Census Greatest of All "A Community of Cave SwalIows-Haunted by Hum mers-Four Favorte Singers

(The Quail Trap. July 30, 1913)
 After a three hours walk through 1 bypaths of RockwelPs woods and
 the Park system Memorial Day, friends 1 from Plainfield told me that they saw
 more scarlet tanagers than in a year s l observation in Windham County The | walk continued across the Cobb farms 1 into the oak woods back of the Gulliver
 place and the Fitch estate at Norwich Town, where the sauntererS declared was a notable overflow of tanagers 1 from Mohegan Park Leaving their hotel early the next morning, these birdloVers took a sunrise stroll up Union St. and Broadway, through Yantic cemetery and down Washing ton St., and. have since maintained that they heard more groSbeakS than they ever heard before in all their lives. We do not now challenge these state
 ments, but simply record them. l am not sure that the city of Hart ford is not close second to Norwich
 in the matter of rosy breasts July, after looking at the rose display at Elizabeth Park, I went into the brush back of the rose garden and in ten minutes found two nests of groSbeak -one breast high with three young, and one six foot from the ground with four eggs which by their glossiness showed that incubation was well ad- vanced.
 Up here on the upper valley of the Quinnebaug grosbeaks are rare this season, but eight miles east, on the west side of Crystal Lake, the late afternoon woods are alive with the songs of a dozen tanagers.
 There are several kinds of common birds now rarer here than the above two great performers. Since the spring migration hardly bluebird has been seen, not a single house wren or pur- pie martin reported, and my usual list
 1lof< pastures are silent that used to be filled with the wailing of Kildeer ploV- CT, no crested fycatcher'S stream in the woods and I have hoped in vain to see a wood duck near the neighborhOod ponds.
 Still, on the whole. it is a bird year with US and an increas is seen all along the line. There are more king birds, orioles, bobolinks. redwings, chebecs and swallows. and more than twice as many robins. Two pairs of bobOlinks bred safely in our tent lot, one pair in the siX-acre lot, and a brood of six young bobolinks left the bungalow lot last week. In Andersons yard there was one least fycatcher's nest last year, I found three exquisite nests this year with four eggs in each nest, in Anderson's strawberry bed a spotted sandpiper laid four pyrifOrm eggs.
 In the middle of winter in an apple tree in our yard was q fofsaken least hycatchers nest with three unbfolzen eggs. One mild morning during the holidays, the teacher heard both mead ow lark and quail calling in the mead oWs back of the Sch0Olh0uSe,
 The city of Putnam should not be proud of some of it's resident Drds. In the tangle of woods back of the barn on Bradley St.. two pairs of jays have bred for two years, and in the tall pines above Fremont St, is colony of crow bIackbirds. No wonder there were no young robins in that vicinity.

1 Tn an apple tree hole in Central 1 Village early this season I found my l first English starling's nest. The white
 marsh hawk has not appeared, but the 1 p4tternS are often seen and heard. 1 For all kinds of game birds the sea- son is opening we'll. Woodcock bred i early, and our dogs flushed two sitting l birds from their eggs in our own white ;, birches. Woodchoppers brought me l late set of four eggs deserted because white birch was felled across the nest. Aside from the markings, both American and English woodcocks' eggs show a ground color of pale ] chocolate-an unusual departure from | type Irving Paine's cat brought home an adult Woodcock which was freed and flew away unharmed.
 A party of Maybaslzet hangers here flushed at midnight two pheasants and were sure they were nesting, and since then two broods of five young have been often seen at this place. An ex- treme bunch of nine young is reported near by. No new Hungarian grouse
 on this group of farms, but few sur
 vivors have been lately noted on Woodstock Hil.
