NORMAL, BROTHER
TELLS OFFICIALS

New York. July 6.-Walter S.
Ward. wealthy bakers son, charged
with the murder of Clarence Peters,
was not normal before the killing,
according to the testimony, of his
brother. Ralph D. Ward, before the,
westchester county grand jury, made
public today. The minutes of the
grand jury were turned over to
Wards lawyers by court order re-
Gently.
When asked by the jury if his
brother was in good health, Ralph
Ward replied. according to the testi-
mony: .
mo, I don't think he was; at least
he wasn't normal"
Mrs. Ward, wife of the accused,
whose testimony also was made pub
lie. threw light IN a newspaper story
written by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr..
to the effect that Ward, after being
lodged in Jail, had visited his home
one night before being released on
bail. In denying the story, she told
the jury that the young millionaire
reporter had tried to interview her
on a sympathy plea.
She said Vanderbilt sent In his
card, asking if he could see her be-
cause he was in great sympathy
with me-" She said Vanderbilt was
| very ~insistent upon seeing her but
she positively declined to see him.
Before the grand jury was dis
charged it handed up a presentment
| denying Vanderbilt's story.

SO-CALLED
BIRD PESTS ARE
HELP TO FARMER

Neutrality-suspicious. Of birds as
insect d~estroyers and, Of vermin and
parasite pests, extending through a
century of observations, show that
many so-called bird pests arc them
selves effective aids to the farmer.
n others not generally thought to
be insect destroyers are active in that
work, w. l.. McAtee of the biological
survey of the department of agricul-
ture says in a review in the annual
report Of the Smithsonian institution
just published.
I Outstanding among these are cited
the English sparrow, often syste-
matically destroyed as a pest, which
nevertheless feeds upon the seventeen
year locust, asparagus beetle, locust
leaf miPer. tent caterpillar, canker
worm, army worm and drop worm;
and the bob white quail, usually a
seed eater, which also feeds upon the
locust and the olive scale.

obligations of the scout oath, and law X
"When we said that a first-class
scout must know what to do in case Of
fire." he.writeA probably none OF us
remotely imagined that during one

persede the work of church, or sch1ooi,
