NEW YORK, March "A pessi-

last night and it was said of him
that The even gets up early so he'll
have more time to worry"
THE BROADWAY WAY
The locals tell of a young lass
with stage aspirations who per-
sistently urged the manager Of a
small town stock troupe to give her
a chance. After many months of
pleading, the impresario gave her a
bit" The hamateur went through
the terrible experience of being kid
ded, but eventually she clicked and
was given prominent assignments.
Recently when the stock group
went on tour through Ohio. it met
with reverses. The chief couldn't
attract enough coin to pay off, but
the players didn't squawk. That is,
except the lass who was given "a
break" She went to court and got
an attachment on the boxoffice.
Nice girl.

The Norbeck-Andersen migratory-bird refuge bill,
which has Just been enacted into law by a unanimous
vote of both branches of congress and approved by
President Coolidge, is one Of the most important
wiId-life conservation measures ever written on the
statute books of any nation.
The outstanding exception is the related migra-
|tory-hird treaty act Of 1918, which the present law
is designed to supplement. Both laws were passed to
carry out the obligations of the United States under
the treaty with Great Britain to protect the wild
birds that fly back and forth each year from Canada.
The new law gives additional force and effect to
the earlier measure by providing federal funds for the
survey. purchase, and establishment Of large areas
throughout the entire country to be maintained as
inviolate misunderstanding, nesting, and resting
grounds where forever the migrating species OF birds
may enjoy complete protection.
The measure as passed is a national acknoWledg-
ment Of the tremendous Importance Of the birds OF
America as aids in the development of agriculture.
It acknowledges also the will of the American people
to give adequate protection to the beautiful and
harmless creatures that are heard in season fom ev-
ery forest. copse and hedgerow in the land. And 1t
further recognizes he Importance of the migratory
game birds as a food supply and primarily as an in
centive to the healthful sport, outdoor study, and
recreational activity so essential in the development
of a sturdy American manhood.
The act virtually guarantees to all generations OF
Americans yet to come an undininished share Of that
marvellous heritage Of bird life which nature has be-
slowed upon our country. Americans may we'll call
down blessings upon the heads of those whose love
of nature. whose far-sightedness, and whose practical
common sens generously exercised in the adjust
ment of a difficult problem have made a splendid law
possible.

Refueling is in progress. We

suffices for 1877 hours. But it
is not likely that we will use all

CENSUS To list
DRIFT FROM
Farms
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
The first comprehensive survey
Of migration from American farms
to the industrial and business life
of cities will be made in the taking
of the 1880 census, II the census
bureau adopts q recommendation Of
it's advisory committee of experts.
The proposed examination would
be confined to the simple question
as to whether each person enumer-
ated in the population count OF
the country has left the farm within
the past year.
This information is expected by
statistical experts not only to give
an exact answer to the question OF
migration. but to pave the way for
supplemental examination to deter.
mine accurately the causes.
Drift Is Strong
Although census experts know
that there has been q strong drift
from the farm in the last decade,
as revealed by the difference be.
tween rural and city populate
estimates of the marked change in
the life Of the nation have varied
greatly.
The Census Bureau also is con.
sidering many other questions de.
signed to give an intimate picture
Of the changes in the social life of
the nation. Some proposals have
already been rejected.
Among the suggestions advanced
are questions concerning religious
tongue Of foreign born. The latter
family, rent paid, classification of
affiliation, the number of rooms per
or salary workers and the mother
question has been urged because the
nationality of many people is not
indicated by reporting of country
birth.
Living Conditions
Information concerning the living
conditions of the people as a whole
is eagerly sought by large life in
surance companies and students Of
social conditions.
Practical difficulties are confront
ing the census officials in their eff.
forts along this line. An expert for
a life insurance company, which had
attempted to make survey Of liv-
ing conditions, reported that they
had gotten 40 diefereNk definitions
Of room. A proposal to limit in.
vestigation to the congested areas
of certain large cities is being con-
sidered.

committee. sis more than made up by
cash saving in the payroll. 1t is wide

The operation of the present system
was explained in detail In the lengthy
report, which said: 1T is unfortunate
that misapprehensions should be circu-
lated that the system does not cost the
Government anything, that the contri-
buttons more than pay for the annuities.
that large surplus is being piled up
and that tho money of the employees is
being withheld wrongfully in the Treas
ury"
The chief defects of the present sys-
tenn were said by the committee to be:
81. 1t is unfair to the higher paid en-
ployes In that 1t exacts uniform per-
centage contributions on the basis of
their full salaries and then provides
benefits which do not correspond to the
contributions.
%. The annuities are too low to pro-
vide an adequate retirement allowance.
IS. The system of records to protect
the Government and the employees needs
to be perfected.
a. The ages for retirement are arbi-
trary and do not necessarily draw the
line at employees who are no longer cap
able of rendering satisfactory service.
