BRONZED GRACKIJT.

The bronze grackle, q sub species
of the purple grackle, Is our com
monest blackbird, and he makes us
a long visit, coming about the middle
Of March and staying till late In
November. Grackles nest early in
evergreen trees, probably because
no other tree is sufficiently leafed
out to conceal the bulky nest OF
sticks and twigs. They seem In u
hurry to discharge their obligation
to posterity and get their one family
Off hands early so they can devote
the rest Of the summer to the real
business Of blackbird life-sociabil-
ity. They are very gregarious and
are always talking things over
Sometimes it sounds like mere talk
for talks sake. and then again it
rises into animated argument of the,
You're another" type.
Cirackles are easy walkers, and
spend much time strutting about on
emily the leader starts up with
croaking call that is probably
gracklese for, Come on, boys" and
away they go into the top Of tree,
discussing the matter In all its
bearings. They show their fine
brass bronze color to best advan-
tase on the ground, but O hock
makes pleasing picture in the
swiaying, wind rocked top Of tall
tree, all uttering their harsh notes
together. Human folks do not care
much for grackle music. but it is
pleasing and stimulating like the
touch Of pepper or bitter to give zest
to the blend Of the sweet.
1slackbirds have rather bad name
as being overly fond Of sprouting
corn. Government bulletins say an
examination of many bIackbird
stomachs show 45 per cent Of grain
none of it sprouting--probably waste
grain cleaned from around stacks
and left over in the fields. When the
farmer sees the srackles 30 busy
walking about his field Of new plant
ed corn the birds probably are
hunting for nice fat squashy cut
worms and wouldn't eat the dry old
corn on a bet. The young are fed
wholly on bugs and worms.

Shortage
and Storm CurtaiL
EUe1,ing Newspapers

Three of the New York evening
newspapers were forced to forego pub
hcation Of one or more of their after
noon editions yesterday because of
newsprint shortage resulting from
storm conditions. Three editions of
The Evening Journal" were aban-
doned when it was found the supply
Of paper had given out and that no
more could be obtained because trucks
were stalled in the snow.
"The Evening Sun" omitted the pub
lication of its special Wall Street edi-
ton, which goes to press at $3.50 p. M,
because of the crippling of it's delivery
system. 1t was explained that routes
of the wagons and motor trucks which
carry the papers to various parts Of
the city are planned so that they will
get back to the Sun Building from
the delivery of one edition just as
the next is ready to be loaded.
Because of the snow these wagons
and trucks were so badly delayed yes
terday that the Wall Street edition
was abandoned to allow them to catch
up to their schedule.
A combination of the shortage of
paper and the delay in the delivery
system forced "The Evening Telegram"
to forego publication of it's IL q. m.
and Wall Street editions.

bush going to business were able to
reach their places of employment on

The Long Island Railroad was facing
one OF the worst tie-ups in the historv
OF the road. This was due to the fact
that there are not enough locomotives

aware Of the difficulties under which
the department was laboring in view
Of the serious shortage of help. The
Mayor expressed the hope that the
business men of the city would place
at the disposal of the Street Cleaning
Commissioner every employee they can
spare to facilitate the work.
Mayors Letter to McStay
The Mayors letter follows:
THE unprecedented snowfall through
out the city has taxed your department.
to the limit. ! know that you are over
a, thousand to fifteen hundred men
short, and working the men you have
TO the limit OF their endurance. The
men OF the Street Cleaning. Depart
inent have always responded faithfully
to any emergency, as they are doing
at the present time, but they cannot
perform the impossible.
Secure all the available help you
can. Business throughout the city is
more or less at standstill owing to
the heavy snowfall, and many hus-
ness places have available help on
hand that might be turned over to the
Street Cleaning Commissioner for the
next day or two to aid in opening
and clearing up the streets of the city
so that business may resume as usual
next week.
81 hope that the business men, es-
pecially those who employ labor, will
turn over to you every available man
for the next day or two to aid in the
work that is so vital for the business
and health of the city,
Threatens to Sue Trolleys
Mayor Hylan also directed the Street
Cleaning Commissioner to clean the
streets that have been generally
cleaned by the New York City Rail
ways Company, to keep account of the
expense Of such cleaning, and then
said he would direct the Corporation
Counsel to bring suit against the com
pany for the recovery Of the amount
so expended.
Commissioner McStay yesterday is
sued an appeal to business men and
householders to assist in keeping the
streets open by aiding in the work of
clearing the snow from sidewalks and
thoroughfares. Commissioner McStay
said the number of men at work in
more than $500 This included the
regular force and about 1900 extra
men. On Thursday, he said, there were
about $500 extra men at work. but agi-
tators at work among the men have re-
duced this number.
The agitators, Mr.. McStay said, are
rrcing the men to utilize the present
difficulty in striking for higher pay.
A leader of the agitators, he added, in
formed him by telephone yesterday
that unless the city raises the pay of
the street cleaners SO cents an hour
all the shovelers would be called out.
Men on Plows Threatened
From the different snow removal
headquarters reports have come that
agitators are threatening the men of
the motor plows.
The situation. Mr.. MacStay said. was
serious He said he would be willing
to pay more if that would get the men,
but no matter what he might offer it
was impossible to get the requisite
number. The department needed 10000
men. he said. The only remedy was
the cooperation of the business men.
"lf they will put every available man
on the job of piling up the snow," Mr..
MacStay said. I'VE VIII. throw our en-
tire force on the job of loading and in
that way keep the streets open for
traffic and dispose of the snow before |
it is trampled down into ice"
