Bull Bats Are Not Bats

N esteemed reader of The Journal,
~ who is another Audubon for his love
a and knowledge of birds, graciously
writes that our recent editorial Don't Kill
Bull Bats" "is both interesting and timely"
More important Is the information which he
adds; This bird, the nighthawk,. gathers
in large focks in late summer, and is now
migrating southwark. 1t offers a tempting
mark to gunners, but not to real sportsmen.
The nighthawk is neither bat nor a hawk,
but belongs to the same family as our whip
poorwill and, chuckwill' s-widow, with them
constituting a trio of species of the greatest
use to mankind. May the effort to stop the
killing of these birds have the earnest sup
port of every man, woman and child in
Georgia."
There is all too much in name, unhap-
PLY, when it comes to this feathered friend
of the. South. Nobody with a heart bigger
than a PIN we take it, would shoot night
ngale or a lark or "Lanier," Harry
Stillweu Edwards has charmingly called
the mockingbird. But in the mere sound of
"bulI bat' there is something so earthly and
unbeautiful, and in "nighthaWk" something
so sinister that ones sympathy for the bear
er of those terms is likely to lag unless oc3
is aware of the true nature, the value, and
the picturesqueness of the bird itself. Be
it known, then, to all men by these pres
ents that the bull bat is not bat, the night
hawk not a hawk. Contrariwise, it is of a
family at once serviceful and poetic, in
valuable ally to the farmer in his war
against ravaging insects, a boon to the
imagination of all who love the lights and
shadows and dutterings of eventide.
Difficult as it may be to persuade a mere
gunner or butcher not to kill these useful
birds, in grave danger of extinction,
every true sportsman will rally h all his
heart to the wide-reaching effort to preserve
them. 1t is thus a case of the pothunter
against the sportsmen, the bird-loyers, the
Boy Scouts, the decent mindedness and in
telligence of the commonwealth. With the
issue thus drawn, there should be no doubt
of the result.

After his retirement from the bench he de-

on the train and came to New York. Arriv-

came to Canal street, then, as now one of
the busiest crOss-tOWn arteries and likewise

the quadruDed lines of vehicular traffic that
passed him east and west. AS far as he
could see in either direction there was no
end to the Intervening tangles of loaded
trucks and wagons and vans and delivery
cars.
At length he made his way to where
policeman stood in the middle of the cross
way directing travel.
Excuse me, sun" inquired the visitor, in
his rich southern accent, "but air you con-
nected with the city government yere?"
I'm a policeman if that's what you

nv HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone before-Courtney
Harrington induces Lorry Grenville to
marry him just after she has discovered
that Tom Ransome, the man she really
1o1,os is unworthy. After her mar
riaee Lorry still yearns over Tom, and
when she discovers she is to become
mother, she is filled with rebellion.
CoTrtnev's love is so intense that it
frightens her, but after the birth of
her n baby she realizes that her love for
To- Ransomo was largely maternal
and that she is in love with her hus-
hand after all. Realization, however,
comes too late, for Courtney is resolved
to make no further effort to hold her
and moves his things over to the club.
Now go on with the story.

do you feel that you can tell me-
LOrry?"
Lorry raised her head proudly. ''It was
because he was determined to have me, and
his will was stronger than mine. L didn't
feel that 1 could fight him any longer"
'And nOw?"
'Now, we've decided to separate. I don't
want to talk about it, mother. I never
want the subject alluded to after today.
But. of course, you had to know, and |
owed you some explanation after the way
l raved last night Courtney has been very
kind and considerable; he is making every
thing as easy as possible for me-"
Mrs. Granville was looking at Lorry close
Iy and now as the girl stopped talking, she
said sagely:
"Youre sure you're doing the right thing,
that you're not making another mistake
"Why do you say that?"
because l blame you, Lorry, for what
has happened. From the very first you have
bungled things sadly, you've looked at mat
tiers from your own standpoint only, you've
been utterly and entirely selfish.
ooh, but that isn't true. Courtney knew
When he married me that I didn't love him,
but he was certain of winning my love"
''And are you sure he hasn't succeeded"
and then strangely luminous Her mothers
question was so unexpected that she had no
chance to defend herself, to laugh with
scorn at the idea of such a thing. She did
love Courtney, and suddenly she had no de-
sire to hide the fact. She was proud of it,
yes" she said very quietly, ST do love
him. 1 don't know how you suspected, but
it's quite true"
"You don't know how 7 suspected?" Mrs.
Granville went on mercIessly, well, TIL
tell you Anything that Courtney set out
to win would eventually be his. He wanted
you, and he got you, he was determined
to make you love him, and with that deter
mination in his heart, nothing would stand
in his way. Courtney is dominating COM
polling, aggressive and proud, and you,
Lorry, even though you're my own daughter,
were never worthy of him. He should have
married woman, you were an immature
girl, afraid of life, afraid of the depths of
your own emotions"
Lorry did not quail before her mothers
scorn. She kept her head held high and
her eyes did not WAIVER Somehow she saw
herself clearly for the first time and she
knew that everything her mother had said
was true. She had been immature, in
capable of approaching the love that Court
ney had given her. But now she was no
longer girl, she was a woman, and she
loved her husband with all the passion of
her wQmanhOOd
Are you going to persist in taking this
step?' Mrs. Granville went on For the
sake of your foolish pride, are you going
to wreck two lives, are you going to
prove yourself the woman | think you've
grown to be, and go to Courtney with the
truth? This is your own affair, you have
confided in me and [ cannot Interfere in

SHOW CATTLE PICTURE
Illustrate Dangers Of Drinking Milk
From Tubercular Cows.

"Out Of the Shadows" a moving
picture. will be shown at a pubic
meeting of the Academy of Arts a1C
Sciences at S:15 o'clock Friday night
in the Menger Hotel by Charles III
Alvord of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. 3D.
The picture is taken at the Benton
Farm in one of the Northwestern
states and deals with the case of q
young girl who has become victim OF
tuberculosis from drinking the milk
from a herd Of apparently well COW,
of which one-third are affected with
the disease.
The picture points out that it is al.
most impossible to cure the animal OF
the disease and that every one with
cattle should have them tested for the
dreaded disease. 1t further shows
that the United States government
will reimburse the owner for the cat
tie provided they are killed and no
effort is made to cure them.
The point that is brought out all
through the picture is the fact that n
rigid examination should be made. of
cattle at frequent intervals TO ascer-
tain that they are not tubercular. as
the disease is very easily transmitted
through drinking the cows milk or
through eating the meat Of any dis
eased animal.
