The duck hawk flies as swift and as
straight as the proverbial arrow. No
poultry raiser has any grudge against
this falcon, for it disdains tame and
humble quarry and lives like an cpl
cure almost wholly upon game. The
duck hawk will strike down in mid
air a bird of twice it's weight, and it
will overtake the SwifteSt winged duck
that flies. He is a pirate and every
thing else that is bad, but he lives the
free and untrammeled life which ma
ture taught him to live and so If 1t is
necessary to kill something, go and kill
nature.
There probably are no injurious
hawks in the United States except
those which have been named. of
course this qualified statement may be
disputed, but for the most part our
hawks are known to be largely bene-
fetal and concerning those about which
there is some doubt the balance of
good and evil seems to be just about
even. The hawks that have been
named and in part described are, as
one might say, the worst of the bunch.

acter he invites death for the bird, and
this Is not a pleasant thing to do for
one who believes that the interest
which a bird of evil disposition adds
to the general scheme of life ought to
be sufficient to save the species from
determination, even if it dearly loves
a chicken for dinner and a song bird
for breakfast.
1t is easy to write about the injuri-
Gus hawks of this country because
there are so few of them. Most of
our birds of prey, the hawks and the
owls, do more good than harm. There
are only q scant half dozen or so into
whom nature has implanted the desire
for evil deeds. Nature is supposed to
do everything, or at any rate almost
If we kill the bold buccaneer birds who
do bit of thieving now and then, we
may rue it one day for some reason
not yet disclosed to the human mind.
The scientists tell us that perhaps
the two most injurious hawks in Amer
lea are the sharp-shinned and the coop
er hawks. These two birds do large
part of the thieving which the farm
ers Of the country lay at the door of
the soaring hawk, the red-tailed, the
red-shouldered, and some others.
The sharp-shinned gentleman, called
Accipiter velox, by the ornitholo-
gists, is, as somebody has put it, "a
brute of a bird" Vernon Bailey of
the biological survey of the depart
ment of agriculture has written thus
about this bird of more than question
able life:
among the hawks, the sharp
Skinned is a veritable bushwhacker.
His light body, short wings. and long
tail enable him to double and turn
among the brush and branches, and in
a noiseless, foxlike way, pounce over a
hedgerow or brush heap into the midst
of a flock of sparrows, swoop under
the low branches and pick his bird
from the ground, or dart through the
treetopS and snatch one in midair from
the midst of a startled flock. His
small size is so much more than COM
pensated by his audacity that one bird
often becomes the terror of the poul-
try yard, taking the small and half
grown chickens regularly, and some
times killing and eating fullgrown
hen of many times its own weight"
l once saw a sharp-shinned hawk
swoop down into a flock of English

sparrOws on one of the crowded cor
ners of the city Of Chicago. A trolley
car was laundering along at the mo-
ment the sharp-shinned made it's de-
scent. 1t missed it's prey, much to
my disappointment, for / don't like
English sparrows, and / have a sneak
ing admiration. for the bold bird which
dares to make a try for it's breakfast
no matter what perifs impend.
The Cooper hawk, called by the SCI
entists Accipiter cooperii, is just as
much of a villain, if you want to look
at him that way, as is his brother Ac-
cipiter, Surnamed velOX. This bird is
just as daring as the sharp-shinned,
and being somewhat larger is able to
attack successfully larger prey. Dr.
authority on the birds of prey, has this
to say about the freebooter under dis
cussion:
'COoper's hawk, which resembles
the sharp-shinned hawk closely in
everything except size, is less north
ern in it's distribution. The
food of this hawk like that of it's
smaller congener, consists almost en-
tirely of wild birds and poultry, though
from it's superior size and strength it
is able to cope successfully with much
larger birds, and hence is much more
to be dreaded. The flight of
this species is very rapid, irregular,
and usually is carried at no great height
from the ground, in all these particu-
lars closely resembling that of the
sharp-shinned hawk"
One of the most destructive OF the
American birds of prey is the gos-
hawk, otherwise Accipiter atricap;l-
lus. The gOshawk is a big bird, some
thing more than a foot and half in
length, and seemingly it has the
strength of-well we won't say ten,
but two. Its nesting place is either in
the mountains or way up in the north
ern regions. 1t preys on game birds
and rabbits in the summer season and
in the winter 1T comes southwark from
it's summer home to take it's pick of
the fat poultry of the land. The
goshawk is a daring and hardy bird.
1t typifies the wild life of mountain
and plain, and as such it seemingly
might be allowed to keep its place in
natures plan, but sentiment usually is
allowed to count for little when the
loss of prize rooster or hen is in the
other side of the balance.
Now we get away from the accipiters
and get into the Genus Falco. The
duck hawk, Falsco peregrinus anatum,
is a true falcon. Florence Merriam
Bailey, in her Handbook of Birds of
the Western United States" says that
the duck hawk ranks next to the Cos
hawk as a fierce bird of prey. Accord
ing to my way of looking at it, bad as
the bird is, any man who shoots it
ought to be shot himself. The duck
hawk has that high courage which
ought to appeal to everybody who has
red blood in him on his own account.

BEING WELL Is AIN ASSET
Physical Health Is Beginning to Be
Recognized at Its Real Value to
the Community.

Health insurance legislation will
be introduced here very shortly If
America as a progressive democracy
is going to compete successfully In
the worlds markets and at the same
time conserve the stamina of her work
ers."
This opinion was expressed by Felix
M. Warburg of the banking house or
Kuhn, Loeb and company, brother of
Paul M. Warburg of the federal re-
serve board. He was referring es-
pecially to the health insurance bill
brought out by the American associa-
ton for labor legislation this year. Mr..
Warburg explains his interest in health
insurance by his frst-hand acqualnt-
ance with it's working in Germany.
81 lived in Germany at the time
the law for health insurance was
passed and put into operation and the
effect from what l have been told has
been excellent" he said. ut is only
by means of a system of universal
health insurance that the service of
advanced medical science can be
brought to the care of the workers
as a whole, while at the same time
the payment of joint contributions
brings economic pressure to bear ON
the state, the employers and the work
er himself to prevent disease. In 9TH
err words, under health insurance all
parties concerned are made TO feel the
cash value of good health"
