WAR ON POPLAR ISLAND
MADE AGAINST CROWS

About half a hundred sportsmen
from various parts of the peninsula,
even as far away as Wilmington, Sal
isbury, fredericksburg, and other places,
iourneyed to Poplar Island last week
and slaughtered the crows. This was
the second trip in the last few months
when these birds were given a warm
reception, and about 700 birds were
killed as they arrived for the night.
The gunners left Easton about 2:3O
in the afternoon, but when they ar
rived at loves Wharf, to take the
boat for the island word was received
that a carload from Baltimore were
on their way, and to hold the boat
until they arrived. They travelled by
way of Matapeake, and in spite of a
flat tire, which was changed in record
time, they arrived in time to board
the boat.
Although about 700 crows were
slaughtered, it was noticed that they
were either wise to the invasion OF
their resting place, or else are begin
ming to abandon the island to some ex-
ent. Not so many were seen as has
been seen in the past, though they
swarmed there by the thousands after
a day of foraging up and down the
mainland.
The day was windy, and many
thought it would be rough crossing
the vast stretch of water between the
mainland and the island. But large
boat was used, and no discomfort was
noticeable. The gunners remained
until about dark, when they embark
ed for home, declaring that they had
a most delightful afternoons sport.
A great many more had planned to
go along, but the wind being rather
strong they finally decided to stay
at home. Those who went, however,
had some real sport shooting the
birds as they arrived for the night.

COLOMBIA STATUS
BOOST APPROVED
Roosevelt Favors Steps to
Raise U. S. Legation to
Embassy Rank.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt approved diplo-
matte steps to raise the American Le-
CATION in the South American republic
Of Colombia to the top rank Of En-
bassy.
Colombia, the State Department an
nounced, likewise is elevating the status
Of its envoy here.
The reason, the State Department
said, is "the increasingly close and
friendly relations between the United
States and Colombia during recent
years, which has been accompanied by
progressive growth in the importance
OF the trade relations between the two
countries"
This Government already exchanges
ambassadors with six Latin American
countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Peru, Mexico and Cuba. Colombia s
Ambassador will be her first envoy of
this grade abroad.
Diplomatic circles viewed the move
as another administration effort to
tighten diplomatic and trade bonds
with Central and South American
nations.
This Government and Colombia
have had diplomatic relations since
1923, but were represented only by
ministers.
President Roosevelt indicated his in
tention of designating Spruille Braden,
who already has been named Minis
ter. as the first Ambassador to Co.
lombia. Mr.. Braden has not yet
gone to Bogota because Of his work
as arbitrator in the Chaco boundary
dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay
Colombia announced intention to
designate it's presnet Minister, Miguel
Lopez Pumarejo.
Persons close to the State Depart
ment regarded the promotion OF Mr.
Braden to Ambassador as a reward for
his part in mediating the Paraguay
Bolivia dispute over the Chaco terri
tory. He had been appointed this
Government representative to the
Chaco Peace Conference at Buenos
Aires in 1885.

Doctors Alone Held Unable
To Check Childbirth Deaths
Problem, Remains Most
Serious in Rural
Regions.

Doctors alo1o can't solve the prob
lem Of Americas depressing rate Of
deaths In childbirth. DR.. Fred L.
Adair, noted Chicago obstetrician, said
last night in an interview, following
the first meeting of the National
Council for Mothers and Babies at
the Washington Hotel
1t will take the cooperation OF
Government. welfare agencies and Of
the mothers themselves, he pointed
out.
DR.. Adair, who is chairman Of the
American Committee on Maternal
Welfare. and who called yesterdays
conference to order As vice chairman,
expressed hope that it would result
in = more co-ordinated drive on
maternal and infant mortality.
Educational Factors Involved.
"The doctors are doing what they
can," he said, but the problem Is
too complex for them to solve by
themselves. It's . question Of seeing
that mothers everywhere-in remote
rural areas, As well as in crowded
cities-receive the best care obtainable.
There are economic and educational
factors involved"
DR.. Adair sees 1t as a depressing
commentary that America has con-
quered 80 many emissaries Of death
and yet the mortality rate at child
birth has remained virtually station
ary for many years. rate higher
than that Of many other countries.
The rate Is being lowered in the
cities. he. explained-adequate. hos
pital and nursing, care is being pro-
vided the most destitute mothers-
but in the less accessible country
communities the problem Is As pressing
as 1t was years ago.
"The country doctor has not passed
from the scene" DR.. Adair added,
but there are communities 10 sparse
ly settled, With their homes 80 widely
separated. that he can't minister to
them and make living"
Deaths Remain Frequent.
In such regions childbirth deaths
remain tragically frequent, he pointed
out-a condition that was taken for
granted in a past era, but cannot be
condoned in this age Of high medical
efficiency. It's a matter of finding a
way to distribute these medical bless
ings to all expectant mothers, and in
this all those responsible must join
hands.
