Gam: LAW PROTECTION
TO The song BIRDS

Atlanta, Ga, Jan lot is predicted
at the state department of agricul-
ture that there will be more songbirds
in Atlanta this spring and in the
state of Georgia at large than the
red old hills have heard twitter in
many a year.
The state game law, though not di
Tected primarily toward that purpose,
is throwing it's strong protection about
the red-bird, the Kentucky cardinal,
the hooking bird, robin redbreast the
speckled thrush, and practically all
the musical throated birds. Most Of
them, it is true, were protected even
under the old law, but the law
against shooting birds was never 81
well enforced before in Georgia as il
has been for the past twelve months
the new wardens, who keeping theiI
eyes open, especially for the hunter
with his shotgun out of season, are on
the watch also for the boy with his
rife, and the smaller birds have beer
