Do Birds Think?

NATCRALISTS, among them great T. R., have always in
IN sisted that animals and birds do not think-that they act
from instinct.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Johnson spend all their summer vacations
with Jack Miner, Canadian farmer, at Lake Erie North Shore.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson belong to that lordly wild family known as
the Canadian goose-lordly fighters, lordly flyers, raisers of lordly
families.
Jack Miner, the farmer, is a naturalist in overals, and years
ago he marked off his lakeside land as sanctuary for birds. He
dared no man to shoot there, but every man refrained because Jack
Miner asked him Hence, thousands of duck, geese and swan
descend on this simple Canuek's farm every spring and fall. eat
their fill Of the hundreds of bushels of grain he throws to them and
presently are of for Hudson Bay or for the sunny south. All but
a few, like Mr.. and Mrs. Jack johnson, who elect to stay right
there for the family raising season and to all of whom Miner has
given names.
One summer, Mrs. Johnson fell desperately i'll after six eggs
had been laid and had to quit. Miner put the eggs under an old
hen who generously Matched 'em and mothered the brood of six
TIL they were whooping big gosings of FIVE weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson had never seen these goslings: there
IS IN TACT a high stone wall between sanctuary and BARNARD. One
day the six sassy youngsters adventured around that wall while
Miner kept an eye on them-kept an eye until that eye was too full
OF tears to see anything at all Mr.. johnson himself was first to
discover his babies and with mingled cries and honks and other
noises OF delight most unnatural in a dignifed and royal Canadian
goose, ne rushed to them, rubbed his head all over their bodies
ana pranced about them In a frenzy of what could be described as
nothing else but goose happiness. Mrs. johnson was down in the
water, but she heard the crazy goings-on of her husband and
rushed up, half flying, half running, to repeat the same scene all
over again, And when a worried old hen arrived in search of her
adopted children she was driven kiting away.
Jack Miner is intimately acquainted with thousands of Canad-
ian geese ard he says the likes of this he never saw in all his davs.
And Mrs. Miner says that when he came up to the house. the tears
were streaming down his cheeks. Soft-hearted Jack Miner!

Stretching the Three-Mile Limit

THE country is indebted to the good lawyer we have in the
i Office of Secretary of State for the decision that we will not
attempt to make over international law all by our own selves,
in order to enforce the p%rohibitory laws.
Somewhere the open sea begins, where all ships are free, and
where the laws of adjacent nations do not apply. 1t does gravel
the officers of the law to see ships bearing liquor anchored four
miles off shore defying the statutes in liquor cases made and pro-
vided, and one can excuse a yearning on their part to board and
arrest and confscate. But long, long ago international law be-
came fixed as to where our jurisdiction ends. 1t ends three miles
from shore.
If we can't enforce our laws without aggression on foreign
ships in international waters, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves.
To violate international waters to enforce a domestic statute is an
acknowledgment of weakness, of our inability to govern our
selves by enforcing in our own territory our own laws. Hughes
saves our face by lettering the Administration from making the
blunder of violating the worlds laws, to prevent violation of our
own.
The three-mile limit was adopted when three miles was the
limit of a cannon shots range. Perhaps it ought to be extended,
if cannon shots have anything to do with it. But we can not extend
it all by ourselves. If we belonged to the League of Nations, in
stead of being outside it, with only Germany, Turkey and Russia
to keep us company, we could have the iurisdchonal matter of
the three-mie limit referred to ii, and get immediate action; maybe
get the limit extended. But we are out-with Turkey, Germany
and husband so must abide by international law as it is.

COUNTRY BANKERS
FIGHT POWERFUL
HOUSES Of CITY
National Convention Delegates
Are Directing to Branch
Institutions.
By RAYMOND CIAAPPER,
United NeWS STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-One of the
biggest controversies in the history of
American banking is brewing be-
tween the small country bankers and
the big Wall Street interests at the
convention Of the American Bankers
Association in session here.
It IS the fight of small, independent
country banks, which must operate
with limited resources, against the
powerful city banks which are reach
ing out into the rural regions through
a rapidly growing system of branch
banks.
The Independents fear that a proc
ess Of Capitalization is going on which
will strange them completely and
put the whole financial machinery of
the nation in the hands of a small,
closely organized group of big bank
ing houses which enter in Wall
Street.
The small bankers have modified
in greater numbers than ever before,
which accounts for the record-hreak.
ing attendance of 10000 at the bank
ers' convention.
Branch banks, if allowed to extend
unchecked, will make a tool Of the
Federal Reserve system, they declare.
and will tend toward monopoly.
Some Of the independents are attack
ing Controller Of the Currency Girls
singer. alleging that he "tacitly ap-
proved the attempt of the First Ma
tional Bank of st. Louis TO open a
number OF branch banks.
Plans for assisting the bankrupt
nations of Central Europe are being
discussed by the bankers here and
may take definite shape before the
convention is over. Developments are
expected after the address of Wednes-
day of Reginald McKenna, former
British chancellor Of the exchequer,
and Britain's foremost banker.
Thomas B. McAdams, president of
the American Bankers Association,
called the delegates to order in the
initial session Of the full convention.
Thomas w. Lamont, speaking for
the bankers of New York City. today
outlined in his address what he re
garded as the responsibility Of the
men of finance today.

Chicago Filling

Short Measure
BIZ United Neps

CHICAGO, oct. 4-One out Of three
gasoline filling stations give measure
30 short as TO indicate deliberate
fraud. according to officials Of the
Chicago Motor Club, which has just
made a check-up on the alleged prac-
tice, in conjunction with the city
sealer's office.
Tho Investigators selected thirty
arage and filing stations at ran
dom, and visited each in turn to buy
Gas" A specially constructed five
gallon tank was concealed in the
regular tank and after each purchase,
Il was measured.
As a result OF this test prosecutions
will be started against ten Of the
stations, and the Chicago club will
notify automobile clubs and ~associa-
tons throughout the country Of its
findings. II is believed hat the short
measure practice has widespread
r-amifcatlons and plays a big part in
boosting thousands Of gasoline bills
which many -automobilists think are
too high even when honest measure
is given.

take a profit of. say $4,000, said bonds
having risen ten points since the last

But if he sells the bonds and thus
realizes a profit, Uncle Sam will step
in and take more or less of said 10000
berries as income tax.
Such doings'' aren't in the patriots
picture at all. So the swap idea"
is invoked as a safe method to dodga
