Aid Bird Protection

Boy Scouts are being urged to take an
interest in the better protection Of wild
birds and to do everything in their
power to prevent the killing Of birds OF
plumage and other wild game for mil
linery and dress purposes. The matter
Is advocated by William T. Hornaday,
director of the New York Geological
Park
In speaking of the bill he Is str1v-
ing to have enacted by Congress pro
hibiting the Importation of wild bird
piumage. he says: "Ten the boys and
girls that the millinery associations are
going to fight the measure to the ut
most It will be unnecessary to point
out the vital necessity for calling upon
all members Of the House and all Sen
ators to stand fast for the clause which
will prevent the importation Of the
pluma1e and skin0 and feathers OF wild
birds that have been slaughtered for
millinery purposes.
'If. this bill stands unchanged until 1t
becomes O law. 1t will place the United
States miles in advance Of all other ma
tions except Australia in this matter.
