Declares Birds Destroy Insects And
NoNious Weeds--Pleads For the
Passage OF The Blauser
Bill

The quail is the enemy of high food
prices, SO Professor Lynds Jones Of
Oberlin college declared in an address
TO the Audubon society at the public
library, says the Columbus Dispatch.
For this reason the bird should be
protected. He declared that, if quail
are protected, crops viii increase
nearly 20 per cent, for they destroy
noxious weeds and insects which are
not the prey of any other birds. He
urged the passage of the Blauser bill
which seeks to put Bob White in the
songbird class and he declared that
protection of this bird will help re-
duce the cost Of living.
Bob Whites have hard enough
time TO live in winter, even though
protected from the hunter, for they
live in coveys and have more trouble
in getting food than birds that lead
a more solitary existence. In the
hard winter of 1s94-95, most of the
quail in northern Ohio perished.
Professor Jones said that quail ex.
terminate potato bugs, chinch bugs
hairy caterpillars and grasshoppers

said. He made IL clear that these
girls--the majority of tLon--are not
bad or immoral, but merely immoral.
He urged that they be segregated in
order to protect them from bad boys,
as well as to- prevent offspring Of
their kind.
In closing the formal part of his
lecture, DR.. limerick said that he
had the highest hopes that the pres
ent state legislature would make pro-
vision for a building in which to take
care OF additional cases OF feeble
mindedness He stated that, by hous-
ing 500 additional feeble-minded peo-
Pile each year, the problem will be
solved in Ohio.
The balance Of DR.. Emerick's time
was given over to charts showing the
result of the intermarriage of the
feeble-minded. These were no less
than a revelation to many in the audi
ence, based on actual fact as they
were and brought home forcibly DR..
Emerick's main contention that
these mental detectives should not be
allowed to reproduce.
