1t is the gladstone springtine-that
season of the year when the cluck of
the matronly hen and the cheeping of
her chix is heard in the land The
song birds are returning from the
winter resorts of the south and build
in homes in which to rear their nest-

Tt must be a great relief and afford
untold comfort and satisfaction to
those tender hearted people who har-
Dor the vicious varmints and encour-
age the increase of the vagrant feline
tribe.
A bird in the bush is worth two car
loads of cats in the alley, or anywhere
else. The number of cats is just a
bout equal to the rat population and
both are quite fond of chick meat.
In comparison, the humble skunk is a
prince of a fellow, for while he takes
an occasional chick or an egg he lives
mostly on bugs and worms. On that
the cat and the rat could be taught
to eat green bugs and cut worms and
thus become co-Iaborers in a differ
emit, less harmful and more useful
wayI
The Hohenzo1leron cat and the
Hapsburg rat are menace to bird
life and yet nobody has reported that
either has ever been known to kill
English sparrows. They seem to prey
only upon the ornamental or useful,

EEeats''.
When mere man interferes with the
economy of nature he is likely to
throw the institution out of balance
and bring results both unexpected and
undesirable. The English sparrow
was imported to fight the worms that
infested the city parks of New York,
and has become nation wide nuis-

ages the increase of jack rabbits, and

 These three species Of serpents, from the fact that they feed mostly on mice, young rats and the young of other de- structive rodents. are valuable allies 10 mankind in the work of destroying such pests. At times these snakes will take an occasional bird or an egg,- but repeat ed dissection of hundreds of specimens of these species by trained observers has proved beyond any doubt that rodents are the chief food of the serpents shown. .s ,
 The bird or egg eaten now and then would in no wise detract from the vast amount of good these harmless reptiles do in their work of devouring those TO. dents that cause so much damage to fruit trees and other valuable property

 police court Saturday morning. Judge s. Victcr Prince bound over to the May term of the superior court Michael Jas kiewicz of this city. operator of a, public service automobile. Bonds were placed at $2;00o.

Cassidy of this city. counsel for the ac- cused man, who argued thattit would be an imposition both on the state and cir client to bind him over to the superior court. but the judge said he felt he could do no less than to bind the man over, al- though he personally felt that the evil dence of the witnesses was favorable to Jaskiewicz.
 In view of the locality of the accident, said the judge, and the numerous chil- dren there on almost all occasions, he felt that the question of determining whether Jaskiewicz was criminally at fault should properly be left to the higher court. .1- .s

Y. M. 0. A. SECRETARY STEAKS
 ON COMMON BLESSINGS"

At the Sunday afternoon meeting at tho Young Mems Christian Association building, a goodly company of men and older boys greatly enjoyed two reels of moving pictures one entitled Glinpses. of the Balkans, which showed the beau tifui scenery of the Balkan states The other reel was one showing the voca- tional training of the blind soldiers by the Red Cross at Evergreen, Baltimore, where these unfortunate men who lost their sight in the great war are being trained for useful lives.
 Between the reels, Secretary. Edwin Hill gave brief talk on Common Bless ings and said fin part: -"I fear We do blessings."- Take for instance, tle ordi- nary bread that we all eat daily i; we partake of It too often with no thought of the kind Father who gives 1t to us. Home is another great blessing, that we do not half appreciate. I was told that on the first Christmas day, overseas. when a hugh Christmas tree vas ar ranged and the exercises of such an oc- casion were carried out. many of the sol dfers could not keen fhe tears back. as the scene reminded them ot their homes so far away. We do not Appreciate home until we are deprived of 1t. and yet 
 We do not value our friends as we should. How lonely We would be with out true friends There is the blessing of speech. of hearing and of sight that we weldon think of their value to us. We are blind to our opportunities, to our privileges. We owe duty to those about us of. service We owe it to..our- selves to make the most of. ourselves. which. however. we cannot do without the help of the great God. We owe 1t to Him to give Him OUT lives for service. Whether we are Catholic or Protestant. or Jew. we owe everything we have that is worth having to Almighty God. therefore we should jet Him Have Fis
 way with us, The picture showing how
 the Red Cross ministers to the. blind
 soldiers is beautiful Illustration ot beautiful service Let us do all the good
 We can to those about us.

LESS TRANSPORTATION
 BY. NEM HAVEN. PEARSON SAYS

bXs NEW. HAVEN, PEARSON SAYS . President E. J. Pearson of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail roal Company commented Sunday on the present needs of the New England railroads and the action of the Railroads Advisory sCommittee appointed by the New England governors concerning the proposed temporary assistance through an increase of ten per cent. in rates, as follows:
 The, present situation of the New Eng land railroads is developing closely in ac- cordance with the information and fore cast which have been furnished 10 the federal authorities and the commissions appointed by ten New England govern DTS. The put! :c- has beon receiving transportation from the New Haven system at less than cost Tits ST dicated by the, inadeduacy of revenues for meeting. operating costs, taxes and. charges. but not including and divi- dends which should be paid and could be considered if the road is paced into position to earn six per cent on its tentative valuation. Such deficits for the New Haven and Central New Eng land, excluding federal guarantees, were $S,o0o,oe0 in 1stS.;;- $S, 900, ,000 in 191s :; $30, 100000 in 1920: and 7,675.000 for the three months of January. February and March. 1921; a total for such pc riod of. $54.575. 600.
 ''These aecruing def1cEs have com peiIed the reduction of service the defer ring of maintenance, :ne stopping of all work for improvement of the proper ty, and have resulted in the accumula- tion of 2 obligations which will compel the continuance of such reduction for a considerable time ahead. in order that the amount of deficits which are In ex- cess of federal guarantees. may be liqoidated when conditions become more favorable and make such action pos sib!e. It Is therefore apparent that the situation as to operating restrictions and the further Improvement of the prop erty affects the road and the public. not There are. two essential features. in 'tf1e New England railroad problems The first Is common Ito all roads and in- ! wolves the readjustnsent of revH1ues ! and costs. The second is that of ade-
 ouate, compensation through divisions for l the handling of. tnter-trhnk line freight | which comprises about 50 per cent. of 1 the traffic in ton miles On. tho New 1 Haven system. and which Is being trans ported at a large loss because the av- ' craze revenues from this traffic are be- i low the average cost The New Ha- ven has, presented the facts in, these matters to. the proper governmental au- 1 thorities and is confident that they are
 receiving careful and full cons:dera- 1 tion.''' ss-.

whe were walking on Main street and witnessed. the accident. All these witness es testified that Jsskiewicz was. operating his cars on the right hand, side of the street, that the car was driven at rate of@ between x15 to 20 miles an hour, and that the child ran from behind motor cycles parked near the curb, and that in their opinion the driver left undene noth- ing which he might have done to avoid striking the child. The witnesses agreed that the automobile went twice Its length after striking the child and before being brought to stop. Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M. Cronin stated that these three witnesses were all that the state had to offer. and he felt, in view of the finding of Coroner J. J. Desmond who conducted an inquest, that the accused ought to be held for the su- rperior court SO that tribunal may deter mine the responsibility.
 1" Attorneys Cassidy and Shields argued that the accident was unavoidable and while the man was responsible for the ehild's death they did not believe him criminaily responsible. They said that they did not fear the outcome of the case in, the superior court. but claimed that it would be costly for the accused and put a burden both on him and the states attorney.
