THE BIRD PROTECTION Law
U. s. Will Continue to Prosecute Illegal
Killing of Migratory Game and
Insectivorous Birds

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Many
of the press comments on tine decision
of the United States District Court,
rendered March 20, at Topeka, Kan.
holding that the federal migratory bird
law is unconstitutional, according to
the United States Department of Agri
culture, are erroneous and are apt to
mislead the public concerning the reaI
situation in this matter.
The Kansas decision, like former
decision to the same effect in the East
ern District of Arkansas, is limited in
its operation solely to the district in
which it was rendered. Neither de.
cision settles or nullifes the law, and
the exact contrary has been held by
the United States District Court fol-
South Dakota. The Arkansas case has
been appealed to, and is now pending
in, the United States Supreme Court
The act of Congress protecting mi.
rgratory birds stands effective until the
Supreme Court finally decides the ques.
tion of its constitutionality.
In the meantime, it is incumbent on
every law-abiding citizen to observe its
provisions and the regulations. 1t is
the duty of the Department of Agricul.
ture to enforce this law and the off.
cials in charge will endeavor to do SO
as long as it is in force. Reports of vio.
lations will be carefully Investigated
and when sufficient evidence is secured
they will be reported for prosecution.
In this connection it should not be for.
gotten that an offender against this, as
in the case of other United States laws,
is subject to prosecution any time with.
in three years from the date the offense
is committed.

FORESTS WORTH s3.OO0.OOO
IN WHITE MOUNTAIN REGION
Recent Purchases Of Land In New
Hampshire BY Government Gives
More Than Billion Board Feet,
Says U. 8. Forest Commissioner

Washington, April 1.-The mer.
charitable timber acquired by the fed
eral government in the purchase of
land for national forests in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire and the
Southern Appalachians amounts to
more than billion board feet, worth
upward of $3.000,000 on the stump,
according to an appraisement by the
forest service. In addition, there is an
enormous quantity of inaccessible and
widely scattered timber which cannot
be considered marketable until region
al Developments and improvements
place it within reach.
Plans for cutting some of this tim
Der in accordance with scientific for
estry methods already have been pre-
pared and in few localities opera
tions have been started. In some
places ii has been found necessary to
remove mature trees in order to give
the young growth chance. This work
is being done largely by local residents
who have bought the stumpage and
are converting it into lumber. The
construction of roads and trails is
making more and more timber aeees-
sible TO lumber operators, but the
principal use of these improvements
at present is for local communication,
fire protection, and TO open up the wild
land for recreation use. A secondary
influence of the improvements is to in
crease the value of the land and to
make the timber on it more accessible
and Vnlnnhle IN nppratOrS
A great deal of the forest land
within the purchase areas was cut
over or culled before the government
acquired it. Nearly all of this class
of land, however, is covered now with
young growth and even the abandon
ed farm acreage, which forms about
two per cent. of the whole, is slowly
reverting to forest.
Of mature timber which could be
placed on the market at once, the
eastern national forests contain a to-
tai of about 100 600 900 board feet,
which includes all the common east
ern hardwoods, together with much
spruce, good deal of hemloek and
some pine. The land, including the
timber. has been bought at an aver
age price of little more than So an
acre. More than 100000 acres of
this land will eventually be acquired
for national forests in the east, if the
recommendation made by the National
Forest Reservation Commission in its
last annual report is carried out.

SCHOOLS AND EPIDEMICS
Doubt Wisdom of Closing, Places of In
struction to Stamp Out Con-
tagious Diseases

Washington, D. c., April doubt
as to the wisdom of closing schools in
epidemies of contagious disease is ex-
pressed by DR.. Francis George Curtis,
of Newtown, Mass, in a bulletin on the
" Health of School Children just is
sued by the Bureau of Education. He
says: "lf the schools are closed when
an outbreak occurs, the children are
turned loose from supervision; they
mingle freely with one another in the
streets, on Fairgrounds, and in each
other s houses. They are having an
extra vacation and enjoying themselves
thoroughly and are unwilling to admit
that they feel i'll, lest they be kept at
home and prevented from having a
good time. For this reason they will
not say they feel i'll until the disease is
well advanced, and they may be active
sources of infection for SOME time be-
fore it is discovered that they are ill.
'If the schools are kept open and
the children continue in the classrooms
as usual, they are under strict obser-
walton and examined daily by the
school physician, suspicious and infect
ed eases being sent home for observa-
tion or treatment.
''1n this way many children are sent
home before they have had an oppor-
tunity to infect others, thus reducing
the probability of spreading infection.
Further than this, the attention of the
parents is called to the fact that the
child is feeling i'll and he is brought
under treatment earlier.
1T seems, therefore, that keeping
the schools open offers the best chance
of safety for the pupils, both collective
ly and individually.
''Instead of closing the schools and
allowing the children to be scattered
and removed from supervision, when an
outbreak appears the schools should be
kept open as usual and the children
urged TO attend. The school physiciafi
and nurse should be detailed to the
school where the outbreak has appeared
and instructed to examine every child
daily, excluding such as appear i'll or
suspicious. This can be done with very
little disturbance of the school work. A
note must be sent to the parent stating
that the child seems, or is, i'll and must
be seen by the family physician. Sus-
pieious cases must be ordered to re-
main at home until further notice, and,
if necessary, must be visited in order
to settle the diagnosis. Absentees must
be rounded up and examined in order
to find out why they have been kept, at
home. If they are i'll, they must be
isolated, and, if well, urged to return to
school,
This, of course, applies to schools in
cities in which school physicians, or
nurses, or both are employed.

MUSIC TO CONVERT CROOKS
Gains "Jags" in Cells Also, Say
Pittsburgh's Police Head

Pittsburgh, April 1.-Superintend-
ent of Police w. Noble Matthews, after
exhaustive experiments, asserted yes
terday that music will "eonvert tho
crook and calm jags.' He has arranged
that tht police quartet, which sang in
the Tabernacle during Billy Sunday S
services, will discourse music nightly
in Central Station in an effort to bet
ter the lives of wayward ones.
If professional crooks are locked up
the singers render solemn and pathetic
songs and hymns. For the drunks rag
time is selected, as it never fails to
rouse them to good humor. When the
quartet sang recently "Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight" three pick

100000 TO Co ON FULL Time
Reading Collieries Will Be Busy Ali
Summer-Pottsville Shops Also
Prosper

Pottsville, Pa, April 1.-When the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company's collieries and dependent
plants associated with the coal industry
in this section of the State suspended
last night, to be idle over the holidays
closing the Lenten season, the men
were given to understand that their
period of working short time is at last
over and that from next Tuesday the
mines, washeries and large repair shops
at this place will be operated full.
This order assures prosperity to the
anthracite region, for it gives guaran-
tee that so collieries and washeries in
Schuylkill and Northumberland coun-
ties, employing 10000 hands, will put
in a summer of unusual activity.
The Pottsville shops, where all the
machinery is repaired and manufac-
tured for the Readings collieries, will
also share in the good fortune. They
have been working only three days a
week, the only break coming last week,
when six days were put in. This
seemed to presage the full-time news
which was promulgated yesterday.
At the local plant there are 500
hands. Business men are jubilant in all
the large towns of Schuylkill. On the
coal branches of the Reading Railway
orders have been also issued to begin
working 54 hours per week from to-
day on. This department embraces the
track foremen, trackmen and allied
workmen, which has been working so
hours for some time past.
The order places a number of extra
men who were laid off back on the pay
roll
The collieries of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, in the Panther
Creek Valley, also have plenty of or
ders on hand and full time is assured
for three months.

and have greater recuperative power
That is. they can do hard work day
after day and still be fresh the next
day when horses are too fatigued TO
work.
Mules can stand more hardships
than horses and require less care.
Indeed. it is surprising how well they
do under neglect and abuse. They
stand up much better than horses In
hot weather. They are less liable te
sickness and disease and are hardly
ever troubled with spavins. They dc
not founder from over-eating. They
are patient and will do any work that
a horse can do.
Two other great advantages that
should not be overlooked by the pro
spective buyer are that mules can be
put to light work when less than two
years old, and are useful for twenty
to thirty years.
Mules are. as a rule, gentle. They
will eat out of the same trough with
other mules and not fight Occasional
ly, mules run away, but when they
do. they never hurt themselves az
horses do. And when running in the
pasture, they seldom get cut on barbed
wire.
A further advantage is that they
grow more to uniform sizes and colors
than horses. II a man has mule tc
sell, he can get better price than fol
a horse, because mules are more cas-
lily mated. Mules are invariably sound
and therefore marketable. while 6
large majority OF horses become IN
sound and have to be sold at a dis
! advantage. A three-year-old mule il
worth $3.50 and a span in their print
from $500 to $500.
