TRACE BIRDS BY

New York.-The habits OF birds, the
age they attain, the dispersal or dis
tributlon of their young, their mating
customs, the strength Of the homing
instinct, the consistency with which
migrant birds return to given areas
In their winter range, routes followed
by individual birds, and even polygamy
these and countless other problems
the American Bird Banding assocla-
ton seeks TO solve by methods that
leave no opportunity for questioning the
accuracy of the date.
The several hundred members of the
association have for II years been
conducting their research on a large
scale in the western hemisphere, and
European societies whose aims are
identical with those of the American
workers have been operating since
1893. These bodies of investigators
pursue their experiments by the use
of rings, bands of tags, each bearing
an inscription or return address and
a serial number. The bands are usu-
ally made of aluminium and are man
ufactured In about a dozen different
sizes 70 fit the legs Of all birds, from
the smallest warbler to the clumsy
pelican and the mighty eagle.
Fifty-eight thousand of these bands
have so far been made for the Amer
lean Bird Banding association, and
approximately 10000 have been placed
BY members on the legs ot native wild
birds. Each ring is stamped with the
words, Notify Am. Museum, N. Y"
and following this, or on reverse side
OF the band, is a serial number. At
the time the band is placed on the
bird the bander records on a stan
dard file card all information relating
20 the operation. These data include
the number of the band, the name of
the bird, Its age whether nesting,
fedgling or adult, locality, date, name
of bander and remarks The bird,
having been thoroughly "catalogued,"
is sent on Its way.
- Long Migrations Recorded.
Workers for the association have
carried bands into the remotest re
gions. AS members Of scientific and
exploring parties they have placed the
tags on birds in Alaska, Greenland,
Labrador, and even in the antarctic q
thousand miles from Cape Horn. A
young robin, banded in its nest on the
lonely shores of Great Slave lake, In
the Northwest territory of Canada
has been reported from Louisiana
more than 1000 miles away; a Mas
sachusetts tern, or sea swallow, has
been recovered similar distance
from its birthplace, in the waters of
the Venezuelan coast and a chimney
swift, a bird less than six inches long
has been recorded at its New Hamp
shire summer home after three sea
S0nal journeys to South America, in
volving almost incredible wing mile
age, the minimum distance covered

Except for the protection policy pur-
sued by the government for so many
years, the United States would not now
be spinning, half the South's cotton
crop, nor would this country be the
largest producer of iron and steel-in the
world. Phc rails for our first railroad
came from England, and people not yet
fif,y years of age remember when their
pocket knives were made. in England.
AS a matter Of fact it has not been a
great many years since American man.
ufactures Of any kind were rare. 1t was
because of the oountry's protection pol
icy and only because of it, that Ameri-
ca was able to outstrip the world, IN
building ships during the war, and eX-
cept for this same protection pollcy
America could not now be leading the
world in hundreds of different lines OF
manufactures But up to this time ag-
riculture has enjoyed but small benehts
in the way Of protection. All The OIL
Welding plants of the world are in COM
petition with the southern cotton Seed
anRraw cotton itself has no protection
against any competition that the world
can furnish. 1t may be that a protec-
tive tariff for agricultural products will
yield only temporary imaginary bene-
fit to the farmers; but if the things the
farmer has to buy are protected we
would like to. see as much protection as
possible to all things he has to sell.

The settlement of the constitutional
ity of the farm loan bank law: will be
of immense value to the agricultural
interests Of the country later on; but
how soon, it is impossible to say. The
most aggravating thing about the
whole matter isthat the supreme court
should have so long held up PROPOSE
ton about Which the common sense
and the ublic conscience had no doubt.
1t was creditable thing on the part OF
congress to- appropriate 5000 100000 for
the purchase Of farm loan bonds, but OF
course it is understood that this is but
a small per cent of the amount that
will be necessary to supply requlre7
ments. Instead Of few hundred MIL
lions only, the farmers will need bill
lions. it will take billions to convert
the outstanding and s. per cent prl-
vate and. corporation loans to per
cent amortization loans. And now here
is another serious trouble. There is
little. reason to hope that farm loan
bonds can be sold on. the present mar
ket in. sufficient volume to meet the de-
mand. Of the farmers fog money, and
there is no telling how-fong it will be
before the. interest rate will fall suffi-
ciently to warrant the offering of such
bonds. However, the problem can be
!ssdisked aJs h somsswaS, aad possibly
the solution may not be SO hong delayed
as there is reason to fear. :.

The people Of the nation are now
looking forward with anxious expec-
fancy to a great many things For one
thing many are concerned with AmeN-
can attitude to European affairs, what
is to be done about establishing peace,
with Germany, and what, after all, are
we going to do about the league Of ma
tions. Then also, it is recognized eN-
ssrywhe, e:t that the policy to, be pursued
by the Federal Reserve bank:iin the es-
tablishment Of stable. conditions is i'm,
,pportant, ,<and ,of course there are&hun-
dreds, Of other things that"engage at
tention. But the thing thet is engaging
most, attention just now is the aistribut
tion III Federal patronage: I. There are
hundreds of thousands of Democrats
who are still holding jobs that belong
tc the Republicans, and while many or
these Democrats are naturally anxious
to. hold on regardless Of the change OF
administration for each job held by "a
Democrat there are from three to- a
dozen Republicans who consider :that
they have better and more pressing
claim. During the administration Oh
President Wilson many thousands OF
Jobs that have been looked upon from
the foundation Of the government as
political spoil were placed under the
protection of the civil service system,
which presunla bly, distributes all xmas
of: jobs among the best qualified apph-
cants,and insured the successful appl1-
cants in office so long. as they give sat-,
isfactory service. $But there has never
been any real sincerity about this civil
service business, All there is to it Is
means of establishing educational, phy-
:sical and intellectual. qualifications. The
eligible list is. open to al who are able
to pass certain fairly conducted exam
nations. But. from the eligibility hst'
as made up, the powers that be are free
to choose whom they prefer and claim
that the choice was merely matter OF
established fitness. The civil service.
has never furnished much protection TO
the holder Of any job that was desired
by another aspirant who had more pull
and probably never will. Mr. Harding
will treat the civil service with as much
respect as other executives have ac-
corded to it; but if anyone thinks that
+T1r. Harding is going to allow the civil
service to dominate his ad1nlpistratlon
any more than it has dominated other
administrations, the anyone so thinking
has another guess coming.

dead. Mr.. Cheshire was native OF

there on October 7, 1882. After iew
years in the common schoois anu d
brief attendance on the Patrick mil
tary institute; he began learning the
printing business in the oftlce! Oh the

away from home to get into the AmerE

ing at first turned down becuse OF MS
youth, was afterward allowed to 60
with one of the regiments as mall

went back with. the Intelligencer, and

those who were looking for. trouble
might chose or whatever might be
most convenient when attacked. nc
was a forccful and picturesque writer;
brt because so much of his time was
