Scarcity Of Birds In France.

In NJ. Andre Godart's book. LES
Jardins Volieres," the scarcity of birds
In France is considered-a scarcity due
to inefficient protection and so great
as to be responsible for loss of 40
100000 francs to the grape growers of
the Gironde In 1910 and so discourag-
ing a decrease in the oil produce of
Southern France that the olive growers
talk of abandoning their industry. NJ
Godart proposes that goldfnches,
bullfinches, linnets, yellowhammers,
thrushes, blackbirds and starlings,
which nest readily In garden aviaries,
be reared In large and specially de-
signed aviaries, and released when full
grown to repopulate the now deserted
woods and fields.

the statement that the District can

they say that the aqueduct which

WANTS M'K|NLEY PARK
NATIONAL RESERVATION
Immediate Acquisition by U. S.
Urged by Stephen B. Capps Before
Twentieth Century Club.

The Immediate acquisition by the
government of the reservation in
Alaska known as Mckinley Park. max
ing it a national park, was urged by
stephen r. Capps of the geological
survey in an address before the con-
servation section of the Twentieth
Century Club in All Souls Church yes
terday. Mr.. Capps pointed out that
unless such action is taken, the game
animals, which now are numerous in
the reservation, may be wiped out
wholesale by hunters In their endeav
ors to supply the markets of towns
within a comparatively short distance
and the thousands Of workers on the
government railroad now under con-
struction.
He stated tnat the Twentieth Century
Club could help in getting Congress to
take over this land by getting in touch
with constituents of members of the
House and through them express the
need of the step.
At the conclusion of his lecture he
passed around among the audience a
number of photographs taken on the
reservation. showing the wild beauty
of the scenery.
Interest of Members Urged.
Mrs. D. Foster Hewitt. leader of the
subsection on national parks of the
club. urged members to take a deeper
interest in the study of national parks.
She pointed out the need of obtaining
and disseminating information con-
cerning them for the benefit of the
public.
Mrs. Sarah X Lamb. leader of the
subsection on national home econom-
ics. gave a talk on markets. The ig-
norance of the public in regard to
market conditions defeats all efforts
to reduce the cost Of living, she said.
People do not show good discrimination
In buying. selecting articles on reputa-
tion and not on merit.
Mrs. Eugene W. Shaw was named
chairman of the committee on Lincoln
highway planting, TO work in conjunc-
fion with the General Federation of
Women's Clubs in the work of beauti-
Tying the highway. Mrs. E. Fl. Town
presided at the meeting.
