When the bird is killed the gunner is

more about the habits of these birds
than we do at present By some method
yet to be devised we must know to a
certainty as to increase and decrease.
III birds are scarce in one shooting
locality while they are plentiful in other
sections we should know the reason why.
1t has been proved that birds follow the
same migratory routes year after year
Individuals and their broods winter and
nest at approximately the same points
each season and follow the same air
lanes during migration.
Comparatively speaking very few
ducks nest east of Hudson Bay and the
general trend of the migration of water
fowl is from the northwest to the SOUTH
east. The majority of ducks wintering
along the Atlantic coast are Matched in
that vast area of marsh and prairie land
lying west of Hudson Bay.
THE bulk of the ducks that nest with

Gulf coast for the winter. Their fight

commend it to the discerning reader. One
who has followed her work in Scrtbner'S
Magazine during the past year realizes
that this new author has something worth
while to say and is aware of effective ways
of saying it. Mrs. Weiles is the wife of
an Admiral in the American navy and,
like the other women in the service, has
rejoined her husband in many a strange
port, so that shc has intimate knowledge
of the material she uses. But she brings
TO her writing something more than mere
information, infusing into it heartwarm-
ing sympathy, an irradiating love for all
aspects Of the service.
These stories of naval life are not mar
ratives of battle, mol accounts of fleet
manauvres, not the conventional fiction
that the picture of ship usually suggests.
They are love stories, yet not the stereO-
typed tales of woolng TO which the public
is accustomed in navy yarns. They tell
of married devotion, of the recurring
Homogeneous and paTtings that naval men
and their wives know, sometimes of the

No MORE I'll"

Authorities differ as to whether
the ',flu" peril is really over, but
most of them seem to agree that the
epidemic has really run its course.
and there is little chance of another
outbreak next winter.
The nation has been pretty we'll
immunized by the disease" says the
health officer of Cincinnati, OF
course there will be occasional in
stances of influenza hereafter, the
same as We have had every year;
but / do not anticipate recurrence
OF the disease in epidemic FORM"
Thus, in the midst of economic and
political troubles, there is still some
balm in Gilead. For long time
the persistence of this virulent epi-
demic, and its renewed outbreaks in
communities already swept by it,
made doctors and laymen alike de-
spair of ever getting it stamped out.
But all things run their course and
the dreaded flu seems to be no ex-
ception, even though it hung on more
tenaciously than any other other
plague OF recent times. With the as
surance that it is really conquered
the winter can be faced more cheer
fully.
