Hartford Superintendent of Fisheries and Game Arthur L. Clark in a bulletin to-day issued an appeal to farmers, sportsmen and nature lovers to redouble their efforts in providing food for game, song and insectivorous birds this winter because of unusually heavy snows which have buried much of their natural foods. Quail and other ground feeding species par ticularly will need help to save them from starvation if the rate of snow fall, the heaviest for any December since 1905, continues" he states.
 Birds of all kinds need extra food during periods of severe wea- ther, particularly under conditions of extreme cold, ice and deep snow. Cold weather alone will kill the birds only if they are under nourished. With an adequate food supply their vitality enables them to withstand extreme cold.
 Starving birds, however, weak ened and lacking in the strength necessary to escape their predatory enemies, soon become the prey of certain hawks, owls and animals which are just as hungry as the hard pressed birds.
 "Sportsmen are urged to carry grain to places where birds have been seen. They should go to their local game covers where pheasants and quail have been found and place grain on bare ground under evergreen trees or in thick clumps of laurel. Shelters are useful in protecting the grain from being covered by further snow fall. They may be constructed by tying to- gether the tips of small trees to

CAUSE OF FALLS ON
 SLIPPERY WALKS
Some Attribute Such AC= Cidents to Fear on Part
 of Pedestrians

A pedestrian who walked a long distance to his place of employ ment yesterday morning and saw q few come down on slippery walks, states that in most instances falls on the ice are due more to fear than anything else. "Some," he added, "havc nation that it is not possible to get over walks and crossing when they are covered with ice without great risk, but this Is not so. Fear takes possession of such people and you could tell by their movements. putting out one foot to feel if the going is safe, that they lack confidence and are sure to take q tumble, frequently with serious results.
 This sounds well enough, but aft CT all few if any are so sure-foot- ed as to be proof against coming down on slippery spots, especially when the treacherous ice is con- |cealed under the snow and one does not have an opportunity to guard against it.

NO SCARCITY OF
 TOOLS FOR MEN
An Ingenious Foremen Supplies ShOvels for All
 Who Need Them

Tho shortage of equipment which has been so noticeable in the park department since some several hundred CWA workers havA been assigned to park pro- jectg is not insurmountable, you'll find out by asking George Topshe at Lakewood park. During last weeks heavy snowfall, George decided that the snow had to be shovelled from the walks at Lake, wood but saw there weren't enough shovels to go round.
 A bit of searching disclosed sew cral pieces of galvanized iron, q fair supply of wood suitable for handles, and a number of nuts and screws. So George set to work and in q short time he had several serv- iceable snow shoVels ready for op- cration. The only thing that re- mained then was to clear away the snow.
 News of Georges skill as a shov- e1 maker reached the office of the park department and Superinten- dent Irving w. Harrison. George was called in and congratulated. If you drop in the park office any one of these days now, you'll see q serviceable, home made snow shovel standing proudly beside the superintendent's desk.

!, itors at 85 per cent of their value, | in exchange for Home Loan Bonds. | The receiver was authorized to ac- cept applications from depositors | for the bonds.
 The original order stated that if there were more applications than actual bonds on hand, the bonds were to be distributed among the
 applicants on q pro rata basis. Attorney Reeves explained to
 Judge McEvoy that it was not
 known ut the time the order was
 entered, that there would be such
 great difficulty, expense and book
 keeping enta1lcd in pro rating the
 bonds among the applicants and
 that 1t would be q considerable by which the receiver could accept
 enough bonds to balance.
 | The receiver had applications | 6,725.79 worth of bonds on
 Dec. 3Oth, the date set for the
 closing of the books to applicants These applications accepted at 15 per cent, brought the total say
 ings accounts exchangable down to
 $354 200.
 The receiver, on Dec. 3Oth, only
 had $246.525 worth of bonds on
 hand, so it can be seen how difi- cult it would have been had the
 receiver decided to attempt to pro
 rath these bonds among the appli-
 cants. The difference between
 $354,200 and $24G.525 is $107,675. The receiver, under the order | passed by Judge McEvoy, is em- | powered to wait until 1t has an ad- ditional $107,G75 worth of bonds, | before exchanging them for the
 savings accounts.
 Since Dec. 30th. 1t was learned that q number of other savings de- | positors applied for the bonds. | Their names and addresses, to- gether with the amount in their savings accounts were taken by the employees of the receiver, but the applicants were filed too late for the Dec. 30th order. However. these applications together with any others that may come in, will be accepted and kept on record in case the receiver again opens the books for exchange.
 The receiver, under Judge Me Evoy's order, can accept bonds from firms, individuals or corpor- ations in exchange for assets of the
 Merchants Trust Co. In other
 words, the receiver can sell any of tho assets of the closed bank for bonds at face value.

 sideration of association affairs. The new board of directors will
 meet after adjournment to name

 'Tn all cases the shelters should provide an easy exit for the birds in all directions in case they should be attacked from the entrance by any of their natural enemies. Feeding shelters around which the birds regularly concentrate in any numbers naturally attract the pre- dators which should be controlled by careful trapping. t
 "Sweepings from hay lofts. ors dinary scratch feed and corn are suitable foods. A little commercial grit or ordinary coarse sand and fine gravel should be supplied also. For the songbirds, table scraps as well as small grains are suitables and pieces of suet attached to trees for woodpeckers and creeps CTS will be appreciated.

CHRISTMAS TREE
 WARNING ISSUED
Prosecution Will Follow If Fire Code Is Violated
 Warns Marshal

A warning against the danger of keeping Christmas trees in homes or apartments and a hint of pros- ecution If the fire code is not ob- served were given today by fire officials. Notice was served on the public by the fire marshal's office that all Christmas trees must bgs removed from homes not later than tomorrow, Sunday, January, 7th.
 During the past week fire off, cials making a round of inspection discovered that in many homes heavily decorated Christmas trees were still in evidence. So much time has elapsed since Christmas day that the trees, drying up, have become serious fire hazards and the authorities of the fire department are apprchensive lest they become sources of fire.
 On removing a tree it has been suggested that it be taken immedi- ately to 8 dump and not permit ted to remain near dwellings or business establishments. There is a statute prohibiting Of Christmas trees in homes after a certain per- iod and fire officials are authorized to start prosecution if the code is not respected. An appeal to the public for cooperation in this par ticular matter was made by the fire marshal today.

Coaches Learn
Rugby Unlike
Football

NEW YORK, April 9.-Prom-
inent American football coaches
who saw the Cambridge rugby
team defeat Harvard, Al to 18,
here agreed today that the Brit
iSh sport is fast and exciting, but
has little which can be borrowed
by gridiron tacticianS.
Lou Little, Columbia coach, saw
gridiron possibilities in the run
ming kick, an established rugby
maneuver. He also thought the
appearance Of the Cambridge
team would stimulate lateral pass
ing in football. Apart from this,
he, could see little similarity in
the English sport and American
football. Little says:
''Why not put headguardS
and shoulder pads on the
rugby player and instruct him
to take q single opponent and
to cover only him? Hit every
man hard and spoil his passing
accuracy, by Earring him. OF
course, won't say that an
American team could tie up
Cambridge by these methods
because these Cambridge backs
are wonderfully fine athletes.
At the same time / think that
. team that could tackle would
put IN . better defense"
