EVENING CONCERTS OF
LUSTY-LUNGED BIRDS
ROUSE CITIZENS IRE

In the little clustered neighborhood
on Melbourne street just south of Hink-
son Avenue there is much vexaiion be-
cause Of the cacophonous concerts which
take place there every evening. These
concerts are given by twilight chorus
Of thousand rusty lusty voices. The
stage, fortunately Tor the choir, is a nat
ural one set far over head the disguised
audience. The high-up boughs of a
group of towering maple trees form the
Stage for these discordant minstrels.
Every evening thousands of blackbirds
gather here for a social hour before they
20 to rOost. A retired farmer says this
assemblage of blackbirds is the largest
number that he ever saw.
People in this neighborhood have tried
virtually every means Of driving these
rusty-lunged birds away, but no means
has proved successful. Rock-throwing,
the beating Of pans. and firing Of guns
have only frightensJ the birds; scared
them just. a little, for they always return
after a few minutes.

Armament Conference have been carefully
worked out by the technical experts of
the Navy Department.
The order from the Secretary of the
Navy for full steam ahead on the
scrapping program probably will be held
up until the last Of the five powers in the
agreement have definitely ratified the M
val treaty
England, Japan and the United
States have ratified and it is understood
in official circles that France will raiify
the pact in the early autumn. 1t is an
open secret that Italy only waits on
Frances action before falling into line

Gu the scrapping program have been the
disposal by competitive sale of six Of the
older baitleships. These ships were
practically obsolete and would have gone
the junk-pile route in due course, even
had there been no limitation conference
Similar action is being taken by Eng
land and Japan. the ships that are being
destroyed by them being the older ones
that have outlived their usefulness.

there are two distinct problems to be

Lieutenant Thomas Higgins of En- zine Co. No. resigned from the de- partment yesterday afternoon after 1 S years of service. The action came entirely unexpected when Chief Noble presented him with his pay envelope.
