ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS
Earliest White Settlers in America Of
fered Bountfes for the Heads
of Obnoxious Birds.

The crow was on the American con-
tinent when white men settled here.
He had lived on terms Of amity with
the Indians, and when the whites came
he admitted them to his acquaintance.
He thought they were his friends ana
he believed that they set out wide
fields of corn for his edifcation anu
entertainment. He accepted what he
understood to be the white mans in
vitation to eat newly planted and
freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred.
He misjudged the white man. These
early settlers found fault with the
habits of the crow, and among the
old statutes, especially those of Mary
land and Virginia, one finds offers OF
bounties for the heads Of crows. There
were also bounties for the scalps of
wolves, foxes and bears and the heads
of squirrels.
In 172S the Maryland council and
assembly enacted that each taxable
person in the colony should bring in
each year three heads or scalpS of
crows, and the same Of squirrels, and
for each additional crow or squirrel
scalp should receive two pounds Of to-
bacco. Statutes having the same aim
are found in the law books as early as
1850, and other acts with revisions and
amendments are found up to and fol-
lowing the American Revolution.

would not even allow him to open the

BERT LYTELL IN NEW
CROOK" DRAMA
alias Ladyhngers" Story of the
Career Of Safe-Brcakcr

Bert Lytell will be seen in another
of those entertaining crook dramas
when "Al:as Ladyfngers,' Bayard
Weller production for Metro, comes
to the opera house Thursday.
This latest Lytell picture is dis
tinct departure from the more recent
releases of the Metro star and gives
Mr.. Lytell character somewhat
similar to that he portrayed with such
widespread success in "Alias Jimmie
Valentine" when that stage success
was made into picture.
Unlike most of the usual run of
crook dramas, "Alias Ladyfingers"
deals with the career of the orphaned
child of a family of wealth who by
accident is brought to the attention
of a. notorious safe breaker. Because
of the little lads delicate hands,
which earn him the name of "Alias
Ladyfngers," he is educated in the
risky art of opening strong boxes.
His proficiency gains him national
reputation with the police who, while
trying to trap him, learns that the
much-wanted safe cracker is the heir
to the. fortunhe of his grandmother.
The valuable pearls Of that grand
mother become lure to Ladyfingers:
who is ignorant of his relationship,
and his entrance as a thief into the
home where he is being sought as the
heir brings about complications which
make "Alias Ladyfngers" one of the
most powerful dramas of the screen.
A notable cast support Mr.. Lytell
in this production, including Ora Ca
rev as leading lady; Frank Elliott:
Edythe Chapman, Dewitt Jennings
and Stanley Goethals. Lenore J.
Coffee adapted it from the story by
Jackson Gregory. Arthur Martinelli
was photographer and A. E. Freuder-
man, art director.
