AUDUBON SOCIETY
 CONFINES FRIDAY
Annual Convention in New York City to Continue
 for Three Days
Special to the pemocran


 New York, Oct. l0-The National Association of Audubon societies will hold its 33d annual convention ct the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, from october 22 to 28 inclusive.
 A feature of the convention will be the showing of unusual sound films of birds photographed in their native habitats by pr. Arthur A. Allen, Professor of Ornithology of Cornell University. Special emphasis will be placed on the better known species 50 that the average anna teur of bird lore may be able to in- identify familiar species. Color films will also be shown of spectacular birds indigenous to the tropical re- gions of Florida and to Texas. These pictures will be presented to point up to the Associations campaign to bring about the immediate establish ment in Florida of the proposed Everglade National Park, and in Texas of the Big Bend National Park, before commercial exploita- ton and unchecked hunting makes those areas unfit for tho purpose.
 Of interest to sportsmen will be the Summarization by Dr. Ira N. 0abrielson, Chief of the U. s. Dio- logical Survey, of the present status of migratory waterfowl in the country and e discussion of mea- Sures for protection of waterfowl in order to preserve certain species from extinction.
 Dr. 0nbrielson'S talk m Roosevelt Memorial Hall of the Museum on Tuesday afternoon, october 20, will be followed by discussion of Florida birds and accounts, by four of tho Associations Florida sanctuary war; dens, of their experiences in Ruard- ing the precious and much coveted rare birds of southern Florida. The convention will open Friday evening, october 22, with Q reunion dinner of the Audubon Nature Camp, established two years ago on Hog Island in Muscongus Bay, Maine, primeval spot of rare beauty where teachers of wild-life appreciation and conservation are given all opportunity to observe wild life In c beautiful environment and receive instruction In leading nature study groups.

Who Did It. In two weekly contests now being broadcast over large number of stations it was found that women better sovers of crime and mystery than men, This result may amazing in that men are uSu- ally regarded as pretty smart analysts Regarding mys- terv and crime stories it would that the readers of same are about equally divided. One might say at first ohand that more read mystery stories but on sec- ond thought it is safe to say that about many women are addicted to that pasme The output of these stories now is enormous There are some fine writers of the detective novel in this country and in England Also there
 great number of such stories written that pretty terrible But we know of better way to up few idle hours than to solve the mystery of the morbid mad man, or the clue of the carping critic.

October meanderngs. Leaves piled high against
 hedge. What job picking dead leaves out of privet or barberry hedge imposes on the householder No fragrance can quite compare with that of burning leaves in the autumn of the year But don't burn them in the street and ruin our good pavements. This is the for and baberry Of the former there seems to be scarcity; plenty of the latter, though. Nothing tantazes the nOstris more than the herby smell of sassafras leaves mixed in big bag of hickory nuts October skies cold at sunset time but marvellous to behold. You'll find skunks aboard these crisp nights robbng henyards and pill lagng garbage cans.

Good Evening.
CALL TT A HAT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

There are hats that make you happy, There are hats that make you glad, But the hats perpetrated this season Are really pretty bad. They represent no particular period, Not shaped like anything you ever saw, Just slapped together any old way, Your selection is sort of blind draw. Fashioned from scrap or two of material, High priced at the very best sale, With the curse slightly taken oil By the addition of flowing veil. There are hats that make you glad, There are hats that make you happy, But in some of the seasons creations You are bound to look sort of sappy.

A Common AfflictiOr

So perhaps Farley will quit by December and perhaps he won't. If he doesn't, you can be fairly sure, 1t will be because he has a great yen to stick around long enough to be able to make @ better approach toward his ambition of postal surplus instead of the traditional postal deficit. Farley IS 6 sentiment tai Irishman, more honest than many of the men who whom he has been willing to associate, and he ale ways has taken that Post Office job seriously.
 There Is more to be said about Farley, and a good peg on which one might hang much of 1t Is the fact that he has no intention whatever of immediately relln- cushing his chairmanships of the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic state chair manship in New York. It never bothered his conscience to hold those jobs along with the Post master Generalship. Nor, one would gather, did 1t ever horrify Roosevelt.
 Farley hasn't told anyone yet, but 1t is widely supposed he wants to run for governor of New York in 1888. And some of the hardest thinking dopesters are convinced that he also has in mind the presi- dency of the United States. If he really has been bitten by the presi- dential bee, one can only call at- tention to the fact that it's corn- mon affliction.

] . BEHIND 2 THE SCENESl \ IN WASHINGTON LV RODNEY DuTcHER-A
 Democrat Washington
 Correspondent
There's an "Inside" Story of Postmaster Jim Far ley, Too, Concerning Various Reports Cir- culated Lately and Here Is That Story

Washington, Oct. 19.-Postmaster- General James Aloysius Farley will be out of the cabinet "by the end of November"
 Says who?
 Well, to be honest about 1t, this is just one more of those supposedly trustworthy tips from the So-called inside" Washington correspondents with prophetic tendencies have been sticking their necks out on the basis of such tips for more than three years, every now and then.
 Insofar as the last story con- cerning Jim'S future movements is concerned, 1t just won't come true. This was a very interesting yarn promoted by others than those who had right to speak for MT. Farley The indication was that as soon as 8 certain reOrganlza- ton program and certain issue of securities therein involved were oItayed by the Securities and Ex- change Commission, Farley would quit the Post Office and so to work for the company involved with a large bonus of stock.
 That story left the inference, if one is to judge from the gossip about town, that the SEC might naturally be expected to act favor ably. Diligent research reveals two facts: First, that the SEC has in- dicated no intention to act pre- cipitately, if at all. Second, that Jim Farley has shown not the slightest singn of SEC that he believed 1t should.
 Plenty of Offers
 Farley would like to quit as post master-general and jump into busi- ness for awhile. He has had no end of offers, but If one can judge the man at all from personal scrutiny, he is primarily anxious to take on a job in which his executive abilities will be recognized and given full swing. Rather than the sort of a post which might bring him $100,- 900 a year, more or less, and carry the implication that Jim was being paid for his influence and prestige within the administration.
 And to go even further, as far as this writer can learn, Farley would like to feel that he was be- ing offered a job in recognition of his able administration of the Post Office Department and nothing
 else.
 This writer never heard Mrs Farley say, apropos of an offer tc Jim which carried huge salary and obviously was inspired witt the inference that Farley-or a least his name-would promote thu offering organizations interests fl Washington: "Oh. no, we're no Rooseveltsl" But there is yer. general impression in Washington that Mrs. Farley did say exactl! that, and that she did not fail tt reflect her bald-headed husbandi sentiments.
