is having serious effect on the
numbers of song birds in the
North Negroes are armed with
guns. and many are proficient in
other means of destruction. In
the North, also large numbers of
foreign laborers coming from Eu-
rope kill small birds for food. It is
only recently that little birds were
sold in large quantities in New
York City, and they are still sold
by thousands in the South.
The Audubon societies, which
have already checked the killing
of native birds for millinery pur-
poses, now propose to stop the
slaughter of song birds for food in
this country. This is a stupen-
dous task. 1t must be done by edu-
eating the public through the
schools, the press and the clergy,
and by securing better laws and
BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LAWS now on the statute
books. Jhe scarcity of robins,
bluebirds and boboliuks is becom-
ing noticeable over wide areas.
Will you not help us TO the best
of your ability to stop the slaugh-
ter which is now depicting our
fields and woods of feathered
songsters? A word OF encourage
ment will be appreciated

lands on the south OF the great
mountains Probably they had
been confused by the driving

The monks instantly opened
wide all their doors and windows,
and the poor birds, accepting the
invitation In the spirit in which it
was offered, Immediately swarmed
into the warm halls by thousands,
and even few into the bed

chose to go.
They were fed and lodged for
the night, and the next morning
when the doors and windows were
opened amid a burst of warm sun

may suppose thankfully, with a
multitudinous futtering of wings,
took their departure toward the
south quickly descending into the
genial atmosphere OF italy
Then the good monks Went forth
amid the newly fallen snow, and,
with heavy hearts, found hundreds
of birds scattered about on the
mountain side. where they had
persisted, being unable in the
binding storm to find their way,

This incident, SO full OF the milk
of human kindness, recalls one of
the great mysteries of bird life Ii
