FOR CANARIES.
Shipment Of $500 From Ger
many Land in New York.
RaiSerS Ask for Tariff.
(BY FREDERIC J. HAskIN1

New York. April 3.-RecentIy a
shipment of $500 canary birds from
Germany landed in New York, and
there is every reason TO believe that
this shipment will be followed by
more and larger ones. The result is
a condition bordering upon panic in
a born industry of which many
Americans have never heard, and a
demand for a protective tariff on
Canarics.
If you have little canary in your
home and you adopted him before
the war he is very likely a German
bird; If he is war baby, he is doubt
less an American product. For since
the war began we have for the first
Tune been raising our own canaries.
In recent years, the United States
has imported over halA million OF
these birds annually, most OF them
coming from Germany, where cana
RES, like everything else, are pro-
duced in quantity and at rock bot
tom cost, Canary raising in Germany
Is cottage industry carried on by
children and farmers wives in the
mountains. For this reason the price
placed on the birds has always been
low; so low that, while the canary is
regarded as a luxury, still IL is with
In reach of most people, Its cheap
ness. as much as its song, is the Sc
cret of the canary's popularity.
When the war cut off the main
source OF supply, American tanciers
and amateurs took up canary raising
as a commercial proposition. They
could not raise the birds at twice
the German figure, but they had no
trouble in dispOsing of their stock,
Tor everything else had gone up. Gus
toners unquestioningly paid SIS for
birds such as had once brought So.
At the request of canary breeders
of this country, Representative Mac
Gregor, of New York, has presented
a bill to stop the avalanche of Ger
man BIRDS by placing a tax of So on
each imported specimen. The tax
proposed Is really prohibitive on all
but unusually fine birds, which some
tunes bring as high as $500 each.
Representative MacGregor Is espo-
clally interested in his bill, because
ne believes that raising songbirds
would be an excellent vocation for
disabled soldiers. 1t is work reouir-
ing patience and skin in details. but
lame man or one who had lost an
arm would be at no particular dis
advantage in it.

nary breeding from the commercial
