THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROTECT
MIGRATORY BIRDS

late Washington dispatch has the
Following of interest concerning the new
federal law to protect migratory birds:
But three States. Florida. Georgia and
South Carolina. may indulge in spring
shooting of migratory birds this year.
and that only for a part of the season.
Before the end Of the present month the
ban will have been placed upon these
States also. and then in the entire
United States spring shooting of migrate
ry birds win be forbidden. The new law
went into effect in Maryland, Virginia
and North Carolina only few days ago,
and these were the last OF the States
this far north 10 apply It.
The spring of the present year will
be the first time since the country was
settled by white-men that birds have been
permitted to go to their northern grounds
without molestation. Ducks from the
Florida Everglades already are beginning
to move in northerly direction. and it
win be only a little while until snipe and
woodchuck also are on the wing.
According to T. s. Palmer. assistant
chief OF the biological survey, depart
ment of agriculture. 1t would be quite
out of the question to estimate the num-
Der Of migratory birds that will be saved
by forbidding spring shooting; but 1t win
run far into the tens of thousands. and
perhaps even touch the hundreds Of
thousands, is very possible AS indi-
eating something of the spring shooting,
Mr.. Palmer calls attention to one gun
club in the middle West State which,
with fewer than dozen men in the field
with guns, bagged more than $500 ducks
in three or four weeks of spring hunting.
The biological survey expects great
things from the new bird law. and will
do its best to see that the law is enforce
ed
What is the general attitude of the
sportsmen toward the new law? Mr..
Palmer was asked.
They are friendly, in the main. Hum
tiers in four or FIVE states have objected
to the federal law, saying they preferred
State law. but that is the exception. In
the State referred to the law protected
birds at seasons when there were no
birds to protect. and permitted shooting
when there should have been protection.
We find the real sportsmen are obeynig
the federal law and are glad that it has
been enacted. The most of the opposi-
tion to it comes from those who shoot as
a business for gain"

sees danger ahead because Of overzealous-
ness in the preparation OF our text books.
In speech. January 18th. the ex-presi-
dent said:
II deny that the so-called prudishness
and the avoidance of nasty subjects in
the last generation have ever blinded any
substantial number Of boys or girls to the
wickedness of vice or made them easier
victims Of temptation. 1t has generally
been possible for them to recognize sin
and to know that they ought to avoid 1t
without leading them into an atmosphere
which they can hardly breathe without
polluted suggestion.
THE moving cause Of this grotesque
and dangerous addition to the curricu-
lum in education is the view that the sins
Of the individual are not his, but those Of
society. and that society, by giving him
knowledge Of evil. will give him or her
panoply against it's temptations. can
not think the small amount Of possible
good can make up for the great dangers
OF this experiment
Criticism OF different nature might
well be directed to many text books that
seek to inculcate aversion to the use of
intoxicating liquor. The unwise extrem-
ity to which legislatures have gone in the
requirement for such teaching has stimu-
lated class of books which dwell on the
results Of the use of intoxicating liquor
in such an exaggerated way that the pu-
pills soon begin to understand that they
are grotcsQue exaggerations. and there
fore become slkeptscal in respec. to the
whole matter"

"The Woman in the Case"

Clyde Fftchs play. The Woman in
the Case" will be presented here next
week for the first time at popular prices
by the Poll Players. The drama was
produced here originally as a starring
vehicle for Blanche Walsh, who was
supported by cast that included Rob
ert Drouett and Dorothy Dorr in the
leading roles. These three central char-
acters will be interpreted next week by
Miss Jewel, in the part played originally
by Blanche Walsh: Carl Brickert, in the
role created by Robert Drouett, and MISS
Kent, as 1.-The woman in the case" the
character played here by Dorothy Dorr.
The play is a story of wife's EFFORTS
to clear her husband from a charge OF
murder. Her plan of campaign FORCES
her to associate with woman OF the
demimonde In order to obtain from her
the truth about the murder mystery.
This leads up to the big scene OF the
third act, when the wife triumphs In a
duel of wits with her reckless com
panion. This scene is unquestionaoly
one of the finest bits of dramatic writ
ing contributed to the American theater
nv the late Clyde Fitch. The unfoidins
Of the story is in itself a fascinating
and a remarkable study of a woman
soul.
