BIRD HOUSES BUILT
BY AUDUBON CLUBS

NEW YORK, April Birds winging
their way northward this spring will
find 175,000 new houses built for
them during the past year by boys
and girls who are members of the
$4,000 Junior Audubon Clubs scatter
ed over the entire United States and
among groups of young Americans by
the National Audubon Society.
Each club member after paying ten
cents as an initiation fee, starts ac-
quiring knowIedges of the appear
ances and habits of both songsters
and the unmusicaI types of birds.
Through picture books and hikes to
woodland spots they learn to distin-
guish one kind of bird from another
by the kind of feathering clothes they
wear and how also to tell them by
their eggs, their nests, and sometimes
by their chirps.
The migratory habits and the sing
ing qualities or lack of them in each
species from other phases of instruc-
ton. Game laws of the state and of
the nation are explained, but none of
the teachers on lectures sent out by
little Willie You must not kill the
pretty brides" Officials of the or
ganization's headquarters here de-
clare they are striving to conserve
bird life not by having more stria-
gent laws passed against hunters, but
by interesting children in the birds
so that they lose all desire to use them
in tests for Workmanship with sling
shots, air-guns or light rifles.
Careless bunters have found the
club members uncomfortably observ-
ant, of those who they sL-pect are
bagging more than the limit or shoot
ing out of season. Recently the Assoc
citation received a letter from a sport
man saying there were -four hun
dred young volunteer game wardens"
in his city exerting a restraining in
fluence on tricky hunters.

GRAIN MARKETING
PLAN IS PROPOSED

CHICAGO, April rehabilitation of a
national cooperative grain market
ing plan proposed by the Farmers

enteen will be taken up for the con-
sideration here tomorrow at a con-
ference of farm representatives from
the twenty-five important grain pro-
ducing states of the country.
Delegates to the meeting number

dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, who in July of last year
called a marketing conference that
let to the creation of a committee of
Seventeen.
The final report of this committee
will be presented tomorrow by it's
chairman. c. H. Gustafson. a Nebraska
farmer who heads several large farm
ers' cooperative organizations.
IF the marketing plan and the re-
OIL the COIllnllLlee are
accepted by the conference, it will re-
suit in the immediate formation of
farmers national grain marketing
company" Mr.. Gustafson said THE
hearty approval with which the plans
was received at the state meetings
indicates that several thousand ex-
listing cooperative elevators will at
once affiliate with the national grain
marketing company so that it can han
die an appreciate part of the 1921
crop.
Although the Committee of Seven
teen is made of representatives from
many different farmers organizations
who had been trying to solve the
farmers, marketing problems in many
different ways, every member of the
committee is agreed upon the pro-
posed plan"

The possibility of New Britain hay ing a board of technical experts con nccted with the Chamber of Com merce as q community technical board which would be able to give expert advice on questions of street grading. paving, sewer building construction. factory sites, electric and other power questions and in fact anything which requires a technical or engineering opinion, such a board to consist of up- wards of 100 members all of whom would be leaders in their line, appears to be a very close probability. follow ing conference which took place last night between John A. Loomis, president; Ray L. Maxim, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and R. w.. Sellew. secretary and B. F. Lewis, chairman, of the New Britain branch American Society of Mechanical En- gineers.
 In Same Building.
 The proposition to affiliate with the Chamber of Commerce as a board of technical experts was discussed at the October meeting of the engineers, but no action was taken. Last evening, due to the fact that coincidently. the engineers were holding their Novem- Der meeting and banquet in one part of the New Britain Club while the of ficers and directors of the Chamber of Commerce were holding their meet ing in another part of the same club, the two organizations were enabled to get together for a conference.
 Guests of Engineers.
 Following the engineers dinner and the business meeting of the Chamber of Commerce officials, the latter. at the invitation of Mr. Sellew adjourned to the main dining room where they listened to an extensive address by L. r.

RED GROSS DRIVE
 CLOSES FRIDAY
Number Of Members Passes LOGO
 Mark--Qu0ta Will Be Reached

The membership drive Of the Red Cross in this city is fast approach ing the 1 200 mark, there being d to- tai today of l,0S0. The boothg in the different banks of the city have done a rushing buuiness during the past few days and indications point 10 q successful conclusion of the drive here. All booths will be closed after tomorrow noon, and anyone wishing to sign mp tomorrow will he able to do so at the drug store booths, be cause the others will be closed for the holiday,
 Home Relief Work,
 One of the greatest home services which the Red Cross has been doing during the past year, is the work of relief in places where there have been great calamities The money se- cured through these memberships is the only thing that makes the main- tenance of these relief bodies,
 9 Relief Boards in state,
 Caamities come unheralded and strike like thunderbot, and the past year was productive of many strii1- ing examples of the suffering and dis aster that can be brought on In less time than it takes to tell. Among the many agencies for relief which crop up in such times there is none that has a prepared system of oper- alton like that of the Red Cross. In Connecticut, there are at present 9 committees of the Red Gross, fully equipped and prepared for anything that may happen Should there be a vast calamity here in this city, the only relief organization which would be able to start work would be the Red Cross. Every member who joins the organization in this city, is not only helping the starving millions in Europe, Asia and the Orient paying for comforts for the disabl lad s who fought, and aiding many other unfortunates, but is paying to guard himself against being left alone to save himself in time of dire stress.
 Work During Pueblo Flood An example of what can be done in an emergency by prepared band of relief workers, was given last year during the Pueblo flood. Here was a community, peaceful and happy, when without warning or premonition. down rushed the flood, carrying death and destruction with it, and lett the | whole populaCe destitute. Within a | few hours, the relief committees of 1 the Red Cross started to work. Food and clothing were rushed to the scene; tents were set up; the wound | ed were taken care of and rescue par l ties were organized It is needless to say here how much good was done there, but thought could be gwen to this community in cases of diSaS- ter, and of how the work of the Rcd Cross might be appreciated here, and then, person could see how much his dollar would help,
 Will This City Reach Quota.
 Last year S1,G0C,000 was spent in this country by the Red Cross in ren- dering relief where disaster occurred The question now is, Is New Britain going to do its share in helping in this Work?" The committee in charge of the drive in this city fec sure that the quota will be reacheG by Thanksgiving Day. Two days to go with New Britain behind. Re- ports from the sourrounding towns and cities say that they are all going over the top, and a last minute drive will be made here to reach the de- sired goal
