DR.. Johnson furnishes a Spanish
proverb, and adds to it in a way
that should be read and understood
by all children who have eyes to
see with, and the opportunity to do
their part Of the kind of travelling
that comes to us with electricity
and automobiles. DR.. Johnson's
combination proverb is as follows:
"'He who would bring home the
wealth of the Indies must carry the
wealth of the Indies with him. so
it is in travelling, a man must carry
knowledge with him if he would
bring home knowledge"
Remember too that another great
author, Carlyle, said:
Mature which is the time-vesture
of God, and reveals Him to the
wise, hides Him from the foolish"
When you get to the big beauti-
full hotel, think. of something be-
sides eating. Look at the walls
that have been fixed up in new
modern colOred lacquers, and study
with your sharp little eyes that God
gave you the harmony in the big
hotel, where everything is bright
and cheerful, just as it is outdoors.
Children, when you travel, use
your eyes and wear your thinking
cap.

WANTON SLAUGHTER
OF ROBINS STOPPED
IN NORTH CAROLINA

The fact that robins are legally
protected in North Carolina was re-
Gently brought home to a number
of residents of that State in an UNI
usual way. For a long time a dis
trict in Randolph county where
there are some dense cedar thickets
was visited annually by vast num-
bers of robins. The roost was ap-
parently broken up several years
ago. Quite suddenly, in January OF
this year according to the county
game warden robins began to re-
establish the roOst in these thick
cts and settled in the shrubbery in
great numbers for a distance of 3
or miles along both sides OF
stream flowing between mountain
ridges. So dense was the flight of
the birds that every afternoon dur
ing the middle of January people
drove to the southern end of the
roost, where it touched the main
highway, to see the robins. The
birds would begin to arrive about
a quarter to five, and in five min
utes the air would be filled with
them. AS far as the eye could see,
robins seemed to be dropping like
snOwfiakes out of the heavens, to be
lost in the cedar thickets. The ar
rivals would continue for at least
half an hour. The flight cloud was
described as being apparently more
than Is miles in extent, and the
birds seemed to be coming at about
80 miles an hour.
In addition to the many who came
merely to view such an unusual
spectacle were numbers who seemed
to feel the urge to hunt and kill the
birds. These began a period of
wholesale slaughter, which was
carried on for two nights, resulting
in the destruction of hundreds of |
the birds. Local sportsmen and
individuals brought |
this wantOn slaughter to the atten-
ton of the county game warden, a
of the State game commits
sion, and a Federal game warden of |
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Forty or more men were stopped
from, molesting the birds, and it was
found that public feeling was so

GIRIFFS OPEN FINAL
TOUR ON SATURDAY
/
Hot Contest With White Sox
for Fourth Place Con-
fronts Harrismen.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

n A ASSILLON. Ohio, September IA.
M Still hoping to finish IN the
V first division, the Nationals arc
1 il on their way to the Western
sector of the American League
to play IA games that will end their
campaigning for 1929. They will start
the string not so far behind the White
Sox, present occupants OF the fourth
berth but they'll have to play heads-up
base bali to attain their goal. Lena
Blackburne's Chicagoans have been
moving through the western part of
the circuit at great rate recently and
will not be overhauled unless Bucky
Harris bunch does some fiery fghting
out this way.
To get the kinks out of their muscles
after three days without competition,
the club stopped over here today for
tilt with local emi-professional ag-
gregation and tomorrow will resume
play in the championship schedule with
game against the Tigers at Detroit.
Four engagements in as many DAYS
are booked with George Moriarty's
menagerie, the series in the Automobile
City ending Tuesday. Following a day
of. unless rain in Detroit forces the
clubs to make use of it, the Nationals
will move to Cleveland for three tits
on successive days. then carry the fight
10 the White Sox in three games. Should
the Nationals be successful in their in
vasions of Detroit and Cleveland, the
three scraps with the Chicago crew may
be OF the red-hot brand.
End Season in st. Louis.
There will be another off day right
after the Chicago schedule that will
come in handy should rain interfere
N.itk, fhe Teu1,lar f,rOred1Ire in fl1o Windy
City. Then the Harris horde will move
on to st. Louis to end the season. There
are four games listed with the Browns
the last to be played on September 80.
Little chance for the Nationals to get
as good as an even break for the entire
campaign is seen. To finish with win
ming percentage of 500 or better. they
must win at least IL games during the
trip. And it does not seem in the
books for the Nationals to do as much.
Nor does 1t appear likely that the
Nationals have shots at more than two
interclub series this season. Their
chance to bag the annual set with the
Tigers is bright, for they need but one
more win over Moriarty's men to clinch
it. At Chicago they can annex the
yearly series with the White SoX by
taking two of the three battles.
To get the better of the Indians for
the year, though, the Nationals must
sweep the three-game Cleveland series,
while the best they can hope for in bat
Ting with the Browns over the full route
is an even break. And to get as good as
that the Harris club would have to grab
all four Of the games listed with the
Browns.
Only one of the many players recently
bought is to report to the club during
this Western trip, President Clark Crit
fifth has announced. He is Albert Bool,
young catcher purchased from Nashville
of the Southern Association. Bool is
expected to join the Nationals while
they are in Detroit.
