lows. Our duckhawk corresponds to the
Peregrine Falcon of the Middle Ages and is
the best falcon. She's noble bird"
"They all look noble to me" said, looking
at the long line of falcons.
"'Noble means a long winged hawk.
Ignoble' is applied to the short winged hawks
that kill directly, without pitch but
you'll pick up all these terms. We will get the

The next Saturday we motored out to the
Allegheny and stopped by the wooded slopes
of young mountain. For an hour Heating led
me up through timber until we came to the
edge of cliff. There was a sheer drop of 500
feet to where deep blue river slowly crawled
along.
Heating fastened one end of rope he had
brought to the trunk of an aged pine that
leaned half over the brink of the precipice.
AS the brown coils slipped out, there was an
explosion down the side of the cliff, and great
hawk flashed out, screaming in short, broken
calls. Like giant swallow she turned and
twisted below us, her thin, powerful wings

giving proof that for mile or so she is the
fastest flying bird in the world. 1t was the
Peregine falcon, the bird that once no one
under the rank of earl was allowed to keep.
Keating made sure the rope was fast, and
then motioned for me to climb down. 1t was
not until l swung off on that shaking cord
that realized just what lot of empty space
lay under me. The abyss seemed to be dragging
at my feet, and the screaming hawks savage

- chicken yards. The picturesque but
savage birds have been regarded as destruc-
tive vermin and treated as SUCH But recently
an increasing interest in these winged ma
rauders has lead to a revival Of the almost
forgotten sport of falcomy.
One of the latest hawking societies is the
Peregrine Club at the University of Penn
sylvania The stud of falcons here would do
credit to the court of nobleman of Persia,
where faloonry is still the sport Of kings.
Meanwhile other successful attempts to
revive falconry have been made. At Chevy

had my first introduction to falconry
while at college. A fellow student who kept
hawks invited me to see his stud.
The hawks were sitting on blocks in the
center of the lawn behind his fraternity.
Heating, the falconry enthusiast knelt beside
the nearest, magnificent bird nearly two feet
high. Her brilliant feathers glistened in the
sun. Around her legs were two short strips of
leather, the jesses Their ends were fastenedto
a swivel which in turn was secured to leash
tied to movable iron ring about the base of
the block.
Standing a couple of feet away, keating
held out his gloved hand and the hawk leaped
upon his fist From his pocket Keating took
leather hood, ornamented with little tuft of
feathers on the top He slipped it over the
hawks head and at once she grew quiet and
stopped her nervous jumping and tapping.
Heating explained that the jesses are put on
as soon as the hawk is caught. During hunt,
the hawk is held to the wrist by leash
secured to holes in the ends of the jesses.
When the dogs point, the hawk is unhooded
and the leash slipped; then she shoots out to
'wait on" over the field until the game is
flushed.
"How can get some of these1" asked
Heating hesitated. These are haggards -
hawks caught when they were full grown.
You had best start with an eyess i hawk

and easier to handle. I'll take you to duck

This is the eighth of a series
OF articles containing sections of
the Detroit Traffic Ordinance.
These articles are prepared for
publication by the First Precinct
Safety Officers of the Detroit Po-
lice Department in an effort TO re-
duce the disgraceful toll of
deaths and injuries by automobiles
upon the streets OF Detroit.
Since the first of this year POS
persons have been killed and 1908
injured in traffic accidents. De-
troit citizens lost many thousands
of dollars due to property damage
in the 1917 non-injury accidents.
all because OF the carelessness OF
drivers In the operation of their
automobiles.
In this article we would like Ia
stress upon the Importance Of
many drivers exercising more care
in making right and left turns
while pedestrians are crossing the
street.
We have been trying for some
time TO educate pedestrians to
cross streets on cross walks pro-
vided for them at the intersections
and then only with the green"
or go signal. But we are con-
stantly confronted with the ques-
tion-How can pedestrians cross
the street at the intersection
with" or against" the signal as
long as drivers OF automobiles in
sist upon making turns regardless
or The fact that pedestrians are
crossing?
At this time we would like 10
quote few sections taken from
the Traffic Ordinance regarding
right hand turns which II obeyed
would prevent great many of oui
traffic accidents. especially to ped
estrians.
