Robins Steal Cherries
And Scarecrow
AS Well
copyriSht. ls2a. by Star Company.

PITTSBURGH, July "a
The Rev. William J. Ferne,
pastor of St. Johns Evangel-
ical Lutheran Church, Perrys-
vile, admits that he has met
defeat in matching wits with
the robins to determine who
should have the cherries in
his orchard.
To save his fruit from the
ravages Of the birds he fas-
tened in the center of each
tree a long pole from the top
of which streamed ribbons Of
various hues. The wind flung
these ribbons about in a fash
ion calculated, the minister as
sured himself, to strike terror
to a robins heart.
Today the clergyman discov-
cred that the robins, scorning
the streamers with which he
had laboriously fitted the trees,
were gorging themselves on
cherries. He also found in a
peach tree a quarter of a mile
distant a robins nest in process
of building from which fell the
ends Of several of the ribbons.

Limit are going forward, according tt
James V. Martin, the promoter, in

Furthermore, declares Martin, q

first be successful.
In answer to Commissioner Haynes
assertion that he will seek to thwart
the scheme, Martin says that there
is nothing in international law that
forbids resort fthis character.
Martin asserts the vessel will be
as large as the Lcliathian, that it
will be constructed in Europe and
that the investment will amount to
