Senate May Lop off Funds To Enforce
Mclean Law. Audubon Workers Pro-
test. Minus Money Law Becomes Farce.
NEW YORK, April 20. 1914 That a half dozen
United States Senators on the senate agricult-
ural committee now threaten to defeat the will
of the whole American people by refusing
anv appropriation to enforce the Mclean law
for the protection of the nations migratory
birds, was declared by officers of the National
Association Of Audubon Societies in this city
today. After wiring warnings to the 100000
representatives of his organization all over the
country. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the
national Audubon body, rushed to Washington
to protest to the members of the senate COM
mittee on agriculture against the adoption OF
the amendment to the agricultural appropria-
ton bill introduced by Robinson of Arkansas,
cutting off all appropriations for this federal
bird law and leaving it practically dead letter.
Unless the bird-lovers of the land at once pro-
test to their senators against this cutting OFT
of the 100000 asked by the friends of the
Biological Survey of the Department of Agrl-
culture to supply wardens to guard American
bird life, the conditions of migratory bird
butchery, to remedy which the whole Ameri-
can people asked for the Mclean bill, will con-
tinue, it is declared
Backed by the market butchers of game and
greedy hunters in various sections of this coun-
try, every effort to nullify the effect ofthe Nc
Lean law, giving Uncle Sam authority to guard
his bird flocks as they pass from State to State,
has been made at Washington, it is asserted by
the Audubon workers, who labored faithfully
among those who wanted to have this measure
put on the federal statute books. Such selfish
interests are now known to be rejoicing in the
attitude of the congressman, who cut the re-
ouired appropriation for its enforcement in
half. and of the senators, who are now inclined
to leave it altogether without financial sup
port.
"Unless the people of the whole country
Immediately demand of their senators the Nc
Lean measure which they supported for Its
general protection of migratory birds be en-
forced with adequate financial appropriation,
our native birds will be butehered as of old and
the will of the people will be treated as
farce" said T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of
the National Association of Audubon Societies,
at it's headquarters, 1874 Broadway. without
the $780, 900 required to supply wardens to
check the slaughter of migratory birds forbid
den under this law, the authority of the federal
government in the matter will become joke
to the market shooters, who cannot be made to
respect it. Every man. woman and child, OF
the millions that supported this measure to
save American bird life, should at once pro-
test to their senators against this bold attempt
to render it a dead letter."

For Lighthouse off Hatteras.

The project for erection of lighthouse
on Diamond Shoals, off Cape Hatteras,
has been revived, according to petition
being circulated at Baltimore. A lot OF
money has been spent on this proposition
and when it was last abandoned it Was
decided that the maintaining of a light
ship outside the shoals was all that could
be done. The trouble has not been in
obtaining a firm foundation, but in get
ting enough calm days together to sink
caissons evenly and ballast them level
for a foundation. The position is four
teen miles off the North Carolina Coast.

in. from Box AZ on City hall at $50,
due to the discovery of fire in the tail
or shop of Louis l.. Berenstein on

the windows both at the front and on
the east side of the building for the
use of hose The fire threatened to
reach the apartments of Reuel Pack

use of a couple of chemicals was all
that was necessary to stop it. The

cradle degree on which loss Mr.. Bern
stein said there is $500 insurance The
building is owned by Samuel Titcomb
and is the third piece of property be-
longing to him which has suffered

William Getchell the east side shoe
repairer, with the assistance of visl-
tors, has been keeping record of the
number of vehicles which pass over
the Kennebec bridge, and finds that
in 10 hours the number was 1859. The
period covered by the dates on which
the time was taken was 10 days, be-
ginning Nov. and ending Nov. 10.
The greatest number of vehicles which
passed over the bridge in any one hour
was 157, from l to p. NJ, Nov. 10,
and the least ia, from Il M. to r.
NJ, Nov. 8. Mr.. Getchell, who was at
one time bridge tender on the old
Kennebec bridge, figures that the
above travel of 1869 vehicles in 10
hours would mean an average of 300
vehicles in "a hours. The opportunity
of counting the vehicles which pass
over the bridge in a given space OF
time is much better at present While
the travel is restricted to one side oil
the bridge than it would be under or
binary conditions.

Easier Wash Days

In the old days the ancient scrubbing
board gave us the lame back, the sore
knuckles, the tired nerves and the peeves
generally. Beauty fed and hubby
wished he hadn't wed.
Soap has the ability to clean clothes
but you have to make soap do its work
by hard work on your part, just as the
driver has to make the horse haul the
load.
Borax, harnessed on soap, makes the
soap do more work and cuts down the
amount of labor on your part.
Every up-to-date housewife knows the
value of borax, but many do not realize
that it cannot be combined in proper
proportion in bar soap; only in the form
OF borax soap chips. The proper proper
ton is one part borax and three parts
soap
This amount of borax certainly makes
the soap sit up and take notice!
You will find this combination in 100
Mule Team Borax Soap Chips"
Csc. worth will do more cleaning with
less work on your part than SOC. worth
of soap powders or bar soap.
