MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Work of the Biological Survey of
WASHINGTON in Banding Birds.

Work of the Biological Survey of
Washington in Banding Birds.
Charles E. Googins of. North Han
cock recently shot in Franklin bay
three black ducks bearing numbered
bands on their legs. The bands
were sent to the fish and game de-
partment at Augusta, and from
there forwarded to the bureau of
biological survey at Washington.
The numbers on the bands will
identify the birds as having been
banded at certain place and time,
and released. It is probable that
these particular birds were among
those banded last fall at Narragua-
gus lake by Chief Game Warden j.
H. Macomber of Ellsworth.
The incident calls attention to the
interesting work being done by the
bureau of biological survey in Sc
curing data relative to the migration
of birds. Among the things sought
to be learned by banding birds are:
Do birds return to the same nest
ing area season after season?
Do nesting birds ever use the
same nest and have the same mate
season after season?
Do certain birds rear a second
brood in the same nest or in the
same region as the first brood?
Do young birds return to breed in
the same spot in which they were
reared?
Do migrating birds stop off at the
same feeding places en- route year
after year?
, Do certain individual birds come
and go over the same migration
routes?
How long do birds live, etc.?
Some interesting facts have al
ready been discovered DR.. John G..
Phillips Of Wenham, Mass. on July
3, 1918, banded 100 juvenal COM
mon terms at Eastern Egg rock,
Muscongus bay, Maine. Four years
later, in August, 1917, a native of
the village of Ikibiri, on the Nun
branch Of the Niger river delta.
South Nigeria, West Africa, found
one Of these birds floating in the
river. He secured the bird and took
the band to Rev. Oswald W. W. G.a..rrard
at Patami. 1t proved that, occa-
sionally at least, North American
birds of this species do make the
trans-oceanic fight to Africa
A loon, tagged by two Attleboro,
Mass, men, was killed ten years
later in Florida.
H. S. Osier, of Lake Scugog, Cam,
trapped and banded 200 ducks.
Bands from these birds have been
returned from Ohio, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missis-
Sippi, Louisiana and Texas, and one
of them was killed near Port of
Spain, Trinidad, more than $500
miles from where banded.

HENRY 1T. SPOONER

There is probably not a city, town village or crossroads in the State of Connecticut where the name of Henry H. Spooner is not known, nor where the news of his death will not be heard with sincere sorrow.
 Gentle and considerate as a man, he was admired not only for his temperance work among those enlist ed in his cause, but for his candid l1indliness and perseverance in the matter in which he believed so thor oughly.
 For him there was great rejoicing s over the coming of national prohibi- tion, and he could see nothing but splendid results to be achieved by it. The temporary havoc being wrought, he believed would be but the tempor- ary change which comes between evil and good times, and he hoped to live to see 8 clean world, made bright by the work in which he had helped so ong. -..--@. .sa s=.. .a.e- He devoted most of his time to this cause and he was an honest worker | for what he believed to be right. St 1 honest, sincere tribute will be paid hi
 memory.

BUREAU OPEN

It would be a mistake to close the city employment bureau at this time Although there are no funds available to continue the city work, there are, nevertheless many people who have and will have before the winter sets in, some work to be done. If such people keep applying to the bureau, instead of inquiring of different people to suggest where they V i'll be able to get someone, the employment bureau will still have reason for existence.
 The bureau may cost the city fifty dollars a week or such a matter, but it is doubtful if any city of this size could obtain any such agency carrying as it does, a man who is thoroughly familiar, with the situation, and also man who can speak the language of most of the applicants.
 This moment is the right time for persons all over the city to realize what this employment is and how sue cessful it has been. Giving some work to over 5000 men has meant food for "a great many more than this number how many it is impossible to tell.
 It is not necessary to state that much of the money has gone to the families to those who earned it. So one may feel that, in applying to the agency and giving the man sent by it, some work, one is aiding more than one person.
 The issuance of bonds at the city meeting was disapproved, to all ap- pearances because the ''financiers" of the city did not approve of issuing bonds for this work. A tax, to al appearances would have been quite proper.
 It would not be bad idea for those who defeated the bond issues each to think up some work that would paz hungry men and their families ar amount that would bring them food for at least one day-and do it through the employment bureau It is to be rsr1en1bered that the applicants are looked up, and only the most deserv- ing get the jobs that are sent in.
 And pass the word along that the agency is not closed. May the individ- uals of the city try to keep runnina the agency proposed by the govern. ment and let the individuals make i business to find work for the une:n pioyed that the city cannot under tn, present conditions.

NETGHBORIINESS,

There was time not so far back, either when neighbor scorned neigh Dor. X time it was when 8 person would say quite loftily: We don't know the people on the next floor in our house."
 That time has passed, or should have passed. So the o1d-time custom of neighbor calling on neighbor should prevail. The woman who has lived in @ certain locality a long time should show the newcomer. be she another woman, a great willingness to be of service. The women of each family should call and extend a hearty wei come. They may be able to give no special service or no service at all, but they should show that there is that milk of human kindness in them often make possible an easier life.
 Many will scoff at the idea. 'I have my own friends and she has hers. I
 don't want to walk about the streets with her and I don't want ta accept 1lVOrS 1TOIl Ilel ucHl ISSl iihS returning them.'
 All we'll and good. But the calling on a neighbor is well understood. Merely does it establish enc more pleasurable feeling. It entails no flu ture trespassing on the time of either called-upon of the person calling. Especially at this day, when every dollar counts, this rule> may be ob- served without harm to either. Let it be.
 Certainly when a newcomer moves into an apartment on Saturday, for instance, and for some reason has no | axe but wants kindling. Very cer- | tainly it will not hurt the older dwell
 CT in the house to drop in and offer
 his services or the necessary utensile which the newcomer has not had time
 10 procure.
 It~is a pressing time. Many who l smile realize it as well as those who i show their worries on their faces. May
 all of us try to make life easier for our neighbor when proper occasions
 arrive.

CHILD,S BOOK WEEK

Granted, if it may be, that a book is the most proper Christmas present for child, that may be made; it is also granted that a book is the easiest thing to buy-and that the least is known about what books should be picked out The most improper se- lection may be made, with wrong re- suits.
 The library officials are making a point of having Children's Book Week, beginning November 13, a big suc- cess New books are to be selected and procured, and the older books at the library are to be gone over to see that exactly the right ones are shown to parents and friends of the chil- dren- From knowledge of these books. an adult may make a list and order the right kind of books for Christmas presents to children
 The New Britain Institute is get ting ready for this National Children's Book Week with great enthusiasm. The books are being ordered and se- 1ected with care in the chiIdren's de- partment. The object of the week will be. to show to parents and friends the proper kinds of books to select for Christmas gifts for children and to assist in the selection.
 If children read the proper books at the proper age, their reading will count all through life. If they begir too early to read books too far above their heads. the beauty of the book perhaps in its style, is forgotten, but the book is never again read. Wher older the woman or man will say that they have read it. and the skill of that author remains d mystery t them. Dickens often is read too earl in life, and, never read later5 is neve appreciated. So with other great writ CTS.
 A child should read a book writer for a child-and those in charge a the library on that week will mak a point of telling what a childs boo is. Older boys and girls are some times held back by the fact that the, continue f read children's books lon after they should have discarde them, and after they should be read ing books by the masters.
 So Children's Book Week will b worth while and the merchants wi be on the lookout for the books tha will be ordered as it's result.
