THE Biological Survey, during inves-
legations on crow control. has ex-
perimented with bombs, poisoned
grain. traps and shooting. 1t finds
that a method which succeeds In one
section will fail in another. But re-
suits prove that the crow respects and
fears most the gun. Shrewd and per-
severing, he has learned to distinguish
between q man and q man with a
gun.
Each Winter countless hordes of
the egg-eating, corn-pulling North
American crow family congregate in
rookeries over q comparatively small
area between Connecticut and Vir-
ginia. from the Atlantic to beyond the
Mississippi. These huge flocks, some
times estimated as large as 5000
birds, return from year to year to
roost in the same locations. One of
tllC 4dl SCOt AOOhCIl tlllS SCLllOll,
near Buckeystown. Md, has been used
by crowds for generations and has
caused considerable damage in the
vicinity. Another large crow roost is
on Poplar Island. close to the Jefferson
Island Club. near the eastern shore of
Chesapeake Bay. Sportsmen and
farmers wage campaigns against the
crows at the rookeries and destroy
great numbers of the bold narauders
as they return from their days Of pill
laying.

manslaughter. The record of the court

profit taking in many industrial

industrial and railroad averages
made new highs since 1881.
The market almost entirely ig-
nored devaluation of around 40
per cent in the Italian lira. The
move had been anticipated after
Frances devaluation program was
announced. But the French revi-
sion on tariffs and Italy's an
nouncement of tariff reviSionS,
heightened hope for q greater
freedom of international trade.
This buoyed the already optimis-
tic sentiment on business.
Domestic business continued to
support the optimism and includ-

Members of the Pasquotank Ri

floating clubhouse to replace the
one destroyed by the storm last
month. Built upon a barge, the
new clubhouse will provide Stor-
age room for from II to l6 moth
boats as well as sufficient space
for the club to hold it's meetings
this winter. The housing does not
completely cover the barge leav-
ing an open deck at one end. Work
on the new clubhouse, which is
now moored at the yards of the
Elizabeth City Iron Works and

AS soon as finished the barge

The Magnificent Brute, CUn-

Jutting- jawed Victor McLaglen
with little of his 'Informer'
style and a great deal of the'well-
worn "Sez you-sez me" routine.
Aside from that the Brute is
a good, tough melodrama of the
steel mill with Binnie Barnes,
lots Of action, and some finely
photographed rolling mill back
grounds.
McLaglen's foil is William Hall,
another behtmoth and his rival
for tophand honors around the
mill circuit. Barnes plays the
beautiful but tickle waitress who
is always the tophand's gal, no
matter who the tophand is.
McLaglen Gusts Hall as top,
then is framed in a carnival
wrestling match by his rival who
induces Barnes to bet a collection
gathered by McLaglen for the
widow of a fallen workman and
upshot is McLaglen is accused of
stealing the money.
Plot payoff centers about Nc
Laglen'S recovery of the mill
workers esteem aided and abet-
ted by Jean Dixon, who ultimate
ly gets her man.
Good part for young Billy Bur-
rud, as DiXon's son, and principal
brute adorer, and another for
Henry Armetta as comedy relief.
The story is based on Owen
