WHY Do BIRDS
MIGRATE?

Office of Information, U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington, d.
C.-Although North American birds
living in the colder parts of the CONT
neat return South for the winter, there
is no similar movement Of birds from
the colder or warmer parts of South
America, according to a bulletin No.
49, of the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture. If the birds in North Amer
lea did not go south during the winter,
they would perish. Also if tho birds
remained in the south later than
spring there would be overcrowding;
SO they are drawn northward again by
hation regarding the habits of the mi
food. In South America, Oh the con-
trary, there are almost no migratory
land birds because the south temper
ate ATTITUDES, on account Of their small
area, offer no such inducements to the
feathered Inhabitants Of the limitless;
forests along the Amazon.
The new pamphlet, which is entitled
"Rird Migration, gives much infor-
mationregarding the habits of the mi
gratory birds of North America. Tho
fact that The routes of migration are
long and complex does not mean that
these routes arc so in the beginning
says the bulletin. In the early ages
flight was probably short, easily az.
conplished, and comparatively freG

food, whereas by night migration the
same journey can be performed with
only II hours fast.
During the migration birds are pc
culiarly liable to destruction by stril1-
ing high objects. The Washington
Monument, at the National Capital,
has witnessed the death of many little
migrants; on a single morning in the

long as the torch on the Statue Of
Liberty in New York harbor was kept
lighted the sacrifice of birds it caused
was enormous, even reaching . maxi
mum Of 700 birds in a month.

o4Years Old, $2,OOO,OOOGone,
Jim Smith Begins Career Anew
Former Jovial Jersey Senator, Now Thin and Wasted
Back at His Desk in Leather Company
to Make Another Fortune

msined in the seclusiCn OF his Wash
ington Street home, seeing only few
of his oldest and most tried friends.
Monday morning he ventured out and
went directly to the Howell plant, at
New and huffman streets, Newark.
1t is nearly twelve years since he
was actively associated with the leather
factory, but there are few employees
there who worked under him before he
became banker. When the figure that
had once been so familiar about the
works appeared, even the old timers
hesitated before they felt assured that
the thin, wasted man who stood in tho
Office was the robust, round-faced,
jovial jim Smith of few weeks ago.
II his appearance was changed, his
manner was the same as ever. In less
than an hour his presence was felt He
made tour of inspection of all the
departments, which alone seemed to
stimulate more activity. In commercial
the Howell company is said already to
be noticeable. In Newark II is said that
in recent years the concern has not
done the business Of the days when
Smith was at It's head and making II
one of the leading patent and enamel
leather houses in the country. But now,
inside and out of the factory, the deter
mination of the old boss to make good
at his old stand has changed every
thing.
A rumor yesterday, interesting to
those affected by Smiths failure, had
1t that all his paper in Newark finan-
cial institutions had been made good
with cash or had been renewed, gilt
edged securities having been furnished
as collateral.
