of cessation Of the merry round OF
entertainments that have been inter
esting society folk during the winter.
Whether Or not the social clubs and
dancing classes will close during that
period is not known at present, but as
the Mid-Pacific Carnival win open
shortly after the season OF fasting
begins It is quite probable that Homo
lulans at least win postpone the OBJ
servation Of Lent for their own con-
venience.
There will be number of Bible
classes, and If they follow the custom
established some years ago, the mem
bers OF the Minute Club win meet
more often during the season and wiz
sew for the poor. This year perhaps
the useful little garments which their
busy fingers will fashion will be sent
to Belgium.

United states last year amounted to
nearly s1,OOO.OOO,OOO sum large
enough TO build two Panama Canals
or one hundred battleships annually,
or il would rebuild every University,
College and School building in the
country with many millions of dollars
left for endowment And this loss
comes out of the pockets of the Amer
lean farmer.
Scientists also declare that if the
birds we're all destroyed human life
would cease to exist in one short
generation, for the insects would in
crease so rapidly that all vegetation
would be destroyed. and man and the
animals would then starve to death
or be eaten up by the insects.
In addition to the work they do as
insect destroyers. birds also aid the
agriculturist by consuming vast GUAM
titles of weed-seeds. the other princi-
pal item of their diet.
Consume Tons Of Insects.
Ornothologists tell us that most
young birds are fed upon insect life.
and that each one daily consumes an
amount of such food equal to its own
weight Say we have but ten birds
to the acre and each one weighs but
an ounce. then the birds Of Delaware
each day consume nearly 400 tons of
insects. and besides find time to de-
stroy an almost equal quantity of the
seeds of noxious plants. Surely the
work done by the birds mean some
thing to all of us. Your board most
heartily recommends that the study
of bird life is added to the curriculum
of our public and State schools.
The board has inaugurated cam
paign of education. through tDe press
of the State and State wardens, con-
corning the Importance Of conserving
all the wild life of the State, and
hopes to enlist the public schools and
Boy Scouts in the same work.
The commissioners report that each
of them devoted much time to the
monthly and special meetings of the
board and labored in the supervision
of the work to attain in a business
like way the highest degree of eff
cheney and economy in the admins
tration of the affairs of the depart
ment.
While we serve the State practically
without salary or pay and realize the
Importance Of the work placed in oui
care, no consciousness of honest ef-
fort and labor accomplished is suffi-
cient reward unless we know that

show their ignorance of our duties
as defined in our laws. Some seem
to think we are to enforce only the
Fish Laws others that our only duty
is TO protect the game. Many never
consider that one of our most inn
portant duties is TO protect the birds
Some strenuously object to paying
a license fee for the privilege of
hunting. but can suggest no fairer
method for securing the necessary
revenue. Nearly every one agrees
that because Of their great financial
and food value. and because their
presence Is a lure to strenuous out
door exercise that means better
health and therefore better citizen
ship to those who hunt or fish. our
game and fish should be conserved
and increased. but because so few
ever give a thought to the birds we
cannot refrain from urging that the
attentiCU of all our people be called
to the importance of more fully pro-
tecting our wild birds. not only on
account of their aesthetic value, and
that is great indeed, but because OF
the vasiness of their Indispensable
service in maintaining the balance OF
life in nature between the insects,
and vegetation. For without the in
seots fertilization does not take place
in tho vegetable world and vegetation
dies and without enough birds the in
sects increase too rapidly and de-
stroy the vegetation. This upsets
Natures balance and man suffers
through the losses to his crops by
plaques of insects. as the army worm

Scientists declare such losses could
not occur had we taken proper care
Of the birds. but we have permitted
their destruction and now arc suffer

diseases that annually are causing
tremendous losses to our trees and
crops. II is estimated by the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture az Washington
