FOR BIRD PICTURES.

~~@A~A>
Announcement has been made
that the sum Of $4,000, has been
placed in the hands Of the National
Association of Audubon Societies to
aid teachers and pupils in the study
Of wild birds. Children Will be
taught to build bird boxes, feed
birds in winter, to learn the names
of the common birds in their COM
munities, and will be instructed in
the value of birds to mankind.
In making the. announcement Mr..
T. Gilbert Pearson, President of the
National Audubon Societies, at 1874
Broadway, New York City, made
the statement that teachers who
form Junior Audubon Clubs would
receive free material to aid in their
work of teaching bird study.
Pupils who become Junior Men,
bers will receive material that costs
us $4,000 more than their nominal
fees," said Mr.. Pearson, ALREADY
more than one million, seven hun
dred thousand children have been
enrolled in these Junior Clubs in the
schools of the United States and
Canada. and we have colored pic
lures of birds and other material ON
hand to supply 100000 more chill
dren during the spring months.
Teachers everywhere are invited to
write and secure free the Associa-
tons plans for bird study"

BOUNTY PAID ON BIRD OR
CHICKEN HAWKS.

The Acts OF 1920, Chapter 72O,
Section 20, provides: ''That the
State Game Warden shall pay the
sum Of so cents for each Bird or
Chicken Hawk actually killed in
this State, to persons producing sat
isfactory proof of having killed said
hawk or hawks within this State. !"
This bounty is paid out of the fund
derived through the sale of Hunter
Licenses, known as the State Game
Protection Fund.
This bounty applies to all sections
in the State of Maryland. In order
for the, claimants to obtain same, il
will be necessary for them to make
affidavit before a Justice of the
Peace or Notary Public certifying as
to when and where said hawk or
hawks were killed, and then forward
the affidavit to this office for re-im-
bursement. Then again they can
make AFFIDAVIT before any Of our
District Game Wardens, since each
County has a salaried officer. In all
cases the body and head must be
produced to the Justice, Notary
Public, or District Warden intact.
The Wardens are empowered to pay
the bounty on presentation with
satisfactory proof.
If the farmers, their children and
sportsmen of this State would erect
a steel trap on poles on their prop
erty, large number of hawks could
be caught and destroyed. During
the month of December we paid out
$4,000 in bounties.
Everybody knows the hawk is
most destructive to our game, espe-
cially bob-white quail or partridge,
pheasants and other insectivorous
and song birds.
In order to avoid unnecessary cor
respondence and bookkeeping at
this office, we urgently request
those persons claiming bounty on
one or two hawks, to hold the aft
davits until they have killed numer-
GUS hawks, and then forward the
certificates directly to this Depart
ment.
Our attention has been called to
numerous reports concerning per-
sons shooting wild fowl especially
from blinds erected on the waters of
this State, since January 31st. The
public is informed that the Federal
Law which supercedes our State
Law opens the season on Wild Fowl
November and closes January 81,
therefore, the sportsmen must gov
ern themselves accordingly. Our
Field Wardens will apprehend the
guilty parties, and turn them over
to the Department of Justice for
trial before the Federal Court In
Maryland. We feel law should be
enacted requiring every owner of a
BOBBY, Brush or a blind of any de-
scription to remove the brush and
boards above the water within s
days after the close of the wild fowl
season. This we believe would de-
crease violations of the Wild Fowl
Law to great extent.

A series of articles presented to
the readers Of this paper by the
United States Public Health Ser
vice, the Maryland State Board OF
Health and the County Health
Officer.
Physical Education and Posture.
In any scheme for the upbuilding
Of human. efficiency, physical educa-
ton must necessarily be one OF the
fundamentals. 1t must be acknowl-
edged that, the average man or wo-
man, boy or girl is most efficient
when he or she is PHYSICAL fit.
Moreover, physical education, in
the modern sense, does not stop at
physical fitness, but tends to mental
and moral fitness as well. The boy
whose nerve cells are fed by thu
uuickeneds circulation due to physical
exercise, and whose mind is render,
ed alert and keen by the demand for
quick response to command IN
drill or the necessity for prompt and
decisive action In game, is usually
in better condition to solve prob
lem in mathematics than one who
has not had these advantages.
Furthermore, the loyalty, cour-
age, and social qualities developed
in team play, together with the self
respect, that comes from the erect
carriage Of a well poised body,
strengthen the moral fiber of the in
dividual and the nation.
The school owes physical training
to your children just as truly as 1t
owes them mental training. The
educational program that aimed al
the production of a few lightning
calculators or erudite bookworms
rather than a well rounded educa-
ton for every pupil would be con-
sidered absurd and freakish. In the
same way, the physical training that
produces a few spectacular athletes
to the neglect of the needs Of all the
pupils is Fundamentally wrong
When all the boys and girls Of the
country are placed under the In
struction Of adequately trained
teachers OF physical education. the
work will consist of corrective and
recreational exercises in well-bal-
anced proportions. These two forms
of exercise-the first aiming at the
..s..Aso%x 80 uOnd rrc&nro aud tho
second offering the advantages Of
healthy sport will contain also all
the essentials Of educational and
hygienic exercise.
The mother who has not at one
time or another, told her boy or CIR!
to ''stand up straight" or "sit up" is
the exception. Thoughtful parents
are always concerned about the poor
posture of their children. and right
fully so. Bad posture is detrimental
from the standpoint Of health, ap-
pearance, material advantage and
in a way. of character.
When the body Is held erect and
we'll poised, all the organs are in the
best position for carving out their
special functions. When this is mol
the case, it is easy to see how de-
rangement of the health may como
about. This fact, together with the
vastly more attractive appearance OF
the child with good carriage. is
enough to convince any parent OF
the Importance of any measure de-
signed to secure good posture. 1t Is
we'll, too to remember that a well
set-up boy is more apt to be consid-
cred intelligent and efficient. and
more likely to be chosen for import
ant work than il he slouches into an
Office with an awkward body, awk-
wardly handled.

Rachmaninoff Broods Over

March.
By WILLIAM MOORE.

Rachmaninoff. the composer. seer

afternoon at the President Theater.
The Russian composer, dignified
and apparently unmoved by the
storm OF applause that greeted his
efforts. brooded over his instrument
"as a gargoyle OF Notre Dame looks

Funeral March Dramatic.
Seldom have we heard Chopin's
weii-known "Marche F'unebre" per.
formed with such dramatic effect.
Rachmaninoff visualized for his
rapt audience the ebb and flow OF
the stately minor march as the
funeral procession drew nearer and
nearer. and after passing a given
point faded out in the distance.
The wind whistling over the graves
in Chopin's finale to the Opus 86
sonata was eerie and sent cold
chills running up and down the
spines of the auditors.
