CHEVY CHASE CENTER
OF BIRD POPULATION
First u. S. Census Ever Taken Shows
Capitals Suburb Has Greatest Per-
centase So Far Reported.

CCuloAC ~
Partial returns from the census OF
birds which, for the first time in its
history the United States government is
now undertaking. Indicate that there are
wide variations in the bird population in
different parts of the country. II is too
early yet for any exact averages to be
given and complete results will not be
published for many months
Each volunteer observer was asked to
select a certain definite area of from 20
to 80 acres and enumerate the different
kinds Of birds occurring there and the
number Of pairs Of each kind actually
nesting within each territory.
The most numerous bird life so far re-
ported is in Chevy Chase, Nd. An
average was found there Of about seven
pairs per acre. Only = few places report
as high a population as four pairs per
acre, while 1t seems probable from the
data so far received that the average
for the whole United States east Of the
plains win be not for from 1000 pairs
to the square mile after emitting the
land In corn and potatoes, where there
would be small chances for any birds
10 nest and after emitting also the land
covered entirely with forests
Apparently the. most abundant bird in
the United States east Of the Mississippi
River Is the robin. with an average Of
about ffty, pairs to the square mile. or
a 100 900 robins In the Eastern United

NEPHEW SAYS -
HUERTA Is IN DEEP-LAID PLOT

New Orleans, July 1s.-Although Huerta
has resigned the Presidency, his activi-
ties in the political life Of Mexico are
by no means ended. according to Felipe
Lopez Carranza, nephew Of Gen. Car
rama, who has been here for months as
a secret service agent Of the revolution.
''Huerta," said young Carranza, laid
all plans to seize power again before he
left the Presidency. He had been IN COM
munication with Emiliano and Eufemio
Zapata, leaders of the southern rebellion.
and through them he hopes TO start 4
counter revolution to oust my uncle when
ne becomes President For this reason,
the Zapata brothers refused to recognize
CarbajaI when he succeeded Huerta. and
will refuse to recognize the constitution
alist president who succeeds him.
,''Huerta will never quit until he Is vic
torious or dead and he has been selected
BY the cientifcos In Europe. the United
States and Mexico to make the final eff
fort to put the old ring back into power.
Ny uncle knows this and his object In
sending 1000 loyal troops to Mexico City
Saturday was to forestall any attempt
of the Zapata brothers and their 1900
bandits to enter and loot the capital"
