OF identified and unidentified dead
from a head-on collision between two
fast passenger trains on the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail-
way at Harding station, five miles
west of Nashville, has reached 126.
Rescue parties are still recovering
bodies from the wreckage and many
of the seriously injured in the hospi-
tails are dying hourly. The total num-
Der of dead probably will reach $50.
The total number of injured is now
estimated at 70 and many of these
are said to be at the point of death

Beneficial Shorebirds.

All the shorebirds are strikingly
beneficial in their food habits. The
slaughter of these game birds deprives
the farmer of valuable allies against
some of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds as quail, grouse and pleas
ant take less insect food than the
shorebirds. yet all of them do GER
tain amount of good. Even hawks and
owls have bad name which for the
most part Is undeserved, it Is said, and
indiscriminate persecution of these
birds IL serious mistake.
