In response to a demand for in

houses, the National Association of
Audubon Societies, the bird-protect-
ing organization Of America, with
headquarters at 1874 Broadway. New

which is sent for fifteen cents in
stamps, and which, it is said, will
enable any boy, with a hammer and

vorite songsters. The directions
cover every kind of bird structure
from the humble, shanty-like tin-can
house to the more artistic mansions"

Thousands of manual training stu
dents in the schools of the country
are now busy earning vacation money
by building bird houses. They are
selling them to park commissions,
cemetery associations and bird lovers
generally for the reception of the
feathered songsters, now beginning
to arrive in various cities after their
winters sojourn in the South.
The cemetery association at Omaha,
Neb., has purchased fifty of the box
es made by the high school boys of
that city, using the houses in con-
verting the cemetary into a bird
sanctuary. Many other cemetery as
sociations are doing the same as a
result of the Audubon societies
campaign to convert burial places
into bird refugees.

TO COUNT ALL BIRDS
DURING YEAR or 1916
Biological Survey Calls For VOL
unteers, Especially In West.

ullteeTS, CSpeCidlly Ill Wcot.
Washington, d. C., April 1.-THE
third annual bird count of the Unit
ed States will be made by the Blu
reau OF Biological Survey of the L.
S. Department of Agriculture during
the breeding season i'll May and
June In making this survey the Blu
reau will rely largely on persons in
terested in bird life who agree to
act as volunteer enumerators and
count the different kinds of birds
found in 40 or 80 acre farm or
woodland tract near their homes.
The counts thus made by unpaid OBJ
servers during the last two sum
mers have furnished to the Depart
ment valuable data on the charact-
er. number, and distribution of the
1 bird population.
This year the ornithologsts of the
1 Department wish particularly to Sc
cure Il large number Of volunteers in
1.-THE West to report on the bird life
in the plains, the semiarid regions.
the deserts and the mountains i'll
that part of the United States. Els
pecial attention also is to be given
to securing data as to the birds in
the fruit districts of the Pacific
coast and in the South Atlantic and
Gulf States.
The information collected this
year it is believed will be of special
value in enabling the Department to
test the effect of State and National
bird laws and also in determining
what relationship exists between
bird life and the prevalence of 10.
Gusts, grasshopDers. and other insect
pests in different localities.
As ii is impossible to make an ac.
tual count of all the birds in any ex-
tended district each enumerator is
asked to report only upon the num-
Der of birds breeding in a selected
area of 40 TO so acres in country or
suburban districts From the figures
thus obtained, those in charge of the
work are able to approximate the
total number OF birds Of each kind
in different sections of the country
Enumerators who wish to report
on birds on farms are asked TO
choose an area which includes farm
buildings, shade trees, orchards, pillow
ed land, pasture or meadow OF
swamp, but not very much Woodland
The enumerator begins his survey
al daylight some mornina and zig
Gags back and forth in the selected
area. counting the male birds. Early
in the morning during he last OF
May or the first week in June every
male bird should be in full song and
therefore easily counted. The count
of one day is to be verified by obser'
vation on several mornings.
The height of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work, In
the latitude Of Washington May SO
is about the proper date for the count
In the latitude OF Boston the work
should begin a week later, and south
OF Washington even an earlier date
should be selected

 They quite generally refrain on either side from making and definite predictions, At the national head quarters Of both parties, victory is claimed.

The employees at the National Capi- tel coming under the civil service rules resolved to take no active part in the election as they were not de- pendent on political sponsors for their positins.
