Some ESQ churches yesterday OBJ
served Bible Sunday in commemoration
of 11O years of organized Bible society
work in New York. Special sermons
and music were features of the day.
The Cathedral of ST. John the Divine
was crowded with clergymen of vari-
Gus denominations and members Of the
New York Bible Society. Bishop Burch
delivered the address of welcome and
introduced the Right Rev W. H. Grif-
Thomas, of Toronto, formerly dean
of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, who delivered
. sermon on the Bible, entitled "The
Perpetual Miracle"
Every one, said Bishop Burch, must
be fully aware of the great good ac-
complished by the New York society
through the distribution of the Scrip
ture. Despite the age-old criticisms
aimed at the Bible, he declared, the
book remains more strongly intrenched
in the hearts of the people than ever.
eve love it the more because of the
attacks which have been leveled at
it, the Bishop said. 81 am glad that
we recognize the influence of the Bible
on the acts of men at this time. par
ticularly. There is no better way of
aiding IN the solution of our national
and local troubles than by the study
of and adherence to the solemn and
inspired words of God"
Unique Work, Says Preacher
The Bible is unique work the Rev.
Mr.. Griffith Thomas told the congrega-
ton at is unique in several ways. First
Of all it is unique in that it is the
only book in the world which reveals
God as Love. And only in the Bible
do we have clear recognition of what
Gods love really means. Nature gives
US all else, but it is to the Bible that
we must go for the spiritual solace of
mankind" The Bible is unique in
other ways, Gin its powers of redemp-
tion from sin and in its portrayal of
the grace of Cod" the minister said.
ut is also unique in its influence, for
no other book has been such source
of power and retained that power"

AIRPLANE A MENACE
TO MIGRATORY BIRDS
SportSmen Recognize in Air
Machine a Great Danger
to Bird Supply.
JERSEY GUNNERS PROTEST

PHILADELPHIA. March 2o.-That the
aIrplane in its quick fight to commercial
uses is now recognized as a menace to
game and game birds Is the belief of
Peter +. Carney, editor OF the National
Sports Syndicate.
Mr.. Carney is OF the opinion that the
bill in the New Jersey General Assem-
bly, backed by the New Jersey Fish and
Game Conservation League, which pro
hihits hunting with or from a flying
machine" should meet the approval OF
the legislators, as it does OF all sports
men.
Mr.. Carney says: THE introduction
of this bill certainly is taking time by
the forelock. although the story is on
record OF Latham. one OF the pioneer
niers who lost his life crossing the Eng
fish Channel. shooting ducks from his
air ship.
Unrestricted shooting OF wild fowl
from airpanes would cause serious
depletion, II not absolute determination.
OF many game birds, whereas the ten
dency Of hunting legislation for years
has been toward the protection and
propagation OF game.
Moreover without restriction the hunt
ing OF wild fowl would become n sport
in which only aviators could engage,
giving comparative few monopoly,
as the planes would drive the birds
away from the haunts in which the
ordinary hunter could get a shot at
them.
THE director Of Military Aeronautics
United States Army, has forbidden the
use of airplanes for hunting purposes
and 1t Is more than likely that the Game
Commission OF other States along the
Atlantic seaboard will take action SINH
lar to that OF the New Jersey Fish and
Game Conservation League"
The airplane could be most effectively
used especially against WILD fowl.

Clubs are trumps and'Z leads renA
Y want Ave tricks.
The solution is for z to lead the trump.
upon which Y discards a spade. There
are three defensive discards for A and
B. II either discards a diamond. 2 leads
diamond for the second trick, and Y
makes two diamonds later.
II A discards spade, can discard
either spade or diamond. and b must let
go a heart. q then leads the spade and
trumpe the return. which puts A In a
hole. II A discards tho diamond, z
makes his ace OF hearts and leads a dis-
mond, and Y makes two diamond tricks.
The best defence for A Is to discard
a heart on the first trick. upon which
both Y and II will shed spades. Now "
must lead another trump. II A discards
another heart. Y and Il must both dir
card diamonds A spade lead. followed
by a losing diamond then secures two
heart tricks for z at the end.
One important variation In thes de-
fence would be for A to shed a diamond
on the second trick, instead OF a heart.
Then must discard a spade, and no
matter what discards. 2 will lead the
diamond.

NEED OF FUNDS MAY

Culturists Who Dug Ponds
With Own Hands Ask FL
nancial Encouragement.
BIG AID TO HATCHERIES

IrHAcA,'N. Y, March 29.-Cnless the
Legislature comes TO the aid OF the fish
cultural experimental station at Cornell
University tho work that Prof. James
c. Needham and DR.. Embody has es-
tablished might as we'll be abandoned.
The fish cultural Experimental station is
in need OF ponds apd an appropriation
Of $4,000 would put the work IN such
shape that progress would not cease
altogether.
Now that the war is over and the
need OF the development OF our aquatic
food resources is apparent to every one
the scientific knowledge Ia waiting TO be
applied, but cannot be for want OF firan-
cial encouragement. The twelve hatch
cries Of the State are in need OF just an
establishment as Cornell offers to make
the hatcherles more effective. The plans
and methods OF the Cornell Ash cul-
tural experimental station are conceded
to be economically sound. Yet the en-
perts cannot get even the pittance OF
support asked for which TO begin real
practical work In the field.
1t is said that Prof. Needham is be-
ginning to think that he has made a
great mistake in bringing this work 20
New York State. He came to Cornell
University In 1so6-07 on a private en-
dowment for the purpose OF developing
limnology and agriculture. then not
taught anywhere in the world, and he
and DIR. Embody have been engaged in
the work ever since.
For the first five years the work was
financed by Delavan Smith. editor OF the
indianapolis Neus. Prof Needham was
left free to take the work wherever he
choose. and he preferred New York as
the place where much pioneer work in
the interest OF science had been done
IN the past and the place where the
particular work was needed.
DR.. Embody has been with Prof.
Needham most of the time working on
the cultural side OF the problem. Both
OF these men have been paid by the
State for teaching and have done re-
search work on their own time nights,
Sundays and vacations.
These men have been ready to under
take the responsibility OF fish cultural
| experimental station for seven years,
! and during all that time they have
been promised the necessary equipment.
Nothing is yet forthcoming. DR.. En-
hodys work on FISH feeding won the
American Fisheries Society's prize last
year. incidentally all his other work
! has been done in a little home made
, hatchery about half the size of a box
! car.
! There is not a fish pond on the Agri-
| cultural College property. nor anywhere
| else available. except a few little pools

Probably no convention has attracted
80 much attention or excited such an
effect upon the Imagination OF the
mediocre player as the one-trick double.
One OF the players at the Knicker-
booker is 81 impressed with the value OF
this convention that he Is anxious to get
UP duplicate match between a team Of
four who use It and four who will
agree not to use 1t.
That such a match would prove any
thing is doubtful, as hand after hand
might come UP in which there was no
opportunity to test the convention. II
would seem a much simpler matter to
examine some Of the hands in which the
advocates of the double have used II
