Farley for president with the stipulation that his vote will go to President Roosevelt if his name is presented for a third term. : The protest was filed by John L..

BRITISH REPLY
 SENT TO ITALY

Rome, March 20-(UP)-Britain's reply to an Italian protest against extension of the Allied contraband control to Italian imports of Ger man coal by sea has been delivered to the Italian foreign office. the British embassy announced today.
 The nature of the reply was not disclosed.
 Britain began enforcing the block ade against German exports of coal to Italy on March 1, causing the Italian protest.
 After IA ships had been seized and before the British reply was drafted a settlement was reached under which Britain released Italian ves- sels laden v'iht German coal which had been held in a contraband con- trol port upon receipt of an Italian promise not to import further Ger man coal by sea.
 The settlement was regarded by Italy as temporary and her protest stood resulting in the British reply today.

Americas tallest bird-that's how the sandhill crane is designated. The height of the male when erect is about that of the average man.
 No weakling is the sandhill crane, for his great wings carry his com- pact and muscular body with per- feet ease and at high speed. The birds wariness bespeaks intelligent caution rather than weakness or fear. Indeed, if the sandhill crane is crippled by broken wing or other wise, he ma. become an exceedingly ugly antagonist for the man who attempts to overpower him, because of the skill, strength and quicknesS with which he will then use his long and daggerlike bill. Many hunt CTS dog has been blinded or badly injured by the vicious thrusts of this exceedingly dangerous weapon.
 Cranes are often confused with herons, and vice versa. The two spe- cies differ radically in disposition and habits. Herons always stick to marshes and shallow lakes, while cranes find most of their food on dry land.
 Few of us will ever see flock of pink and carmine roseate spocnbillS flying echelon- fashion through a southern sky, but there is no more glorious sight, according to the Na- tional Wildlife Federation. In the early days these magnificent birds

DEMAND RECALL
 OF CROMWELL
Speech of American Min= ister to Canada Did Not
 Cause Pleasure

Washington, March 20.-UP)- Congressional demands for the re- call of James H. R. Cromwell, Amer ican minister to Canada, followed today his criticism of American isolationists and his denunciation ot Germany in speech in Toronto Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo-, a member of the senate foreign re- lations committee, and Rep. George H. Tinkham, R., Mass, member of the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee, demanded the Cromwell be recalled.
 Cromwell is apparently imitat- ing Ambassador (Walter Hines) Page in London during the last war" Tinkham said. Ambassador Page was a confessed traitor to his country and should have been re- moved from office in disgrace.
 MT. Cromwell deserves the same fate. If he can not eb an Ameri- can, he has no place in American official life.'

Medical Science Has Conquered Pneumonia Fear

Such great strides have been made in the control of pneumonia mortality through the use of serums and of drugs like sulfapyridine, to- gether with the education of the public to the danger lurking in colds, and various respiratory dis orders, that the pneumonia season has lost much of it's dread" accord ing to the statisticians of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance company.
 The pneumonia mortality experi- ence of the insurance company's industrial policyholders for the 12 months, September, 1928, through August, 1929, and the correspond ing months of 1888 and 1889 shows the death rate in January-the pneumonia peak" month that year dropped from more than 400 per 100000 in 1929 to les than 100 per 100000 in January, 1899. In each of the other months of the "pneu- monia SeaSon"-December, February and March-pneumonia mortality reached such low levels as con- pared with the corresponding months ten years earlier that its seasonal curve is now relatively fiat as compared. with that for the 1928- 1929 period. At that time the curve of pneumonia mortality not only stood at a higher level throughout the year, but rose up steeply in Jan- uary.
 Certainly the experience of 1888 and 1889 augurs well for the future" the staticians say. We have good reason to be optimistic, in the light of the new methods for pneumonia treatment now being repidly exten- ded to all parts of the country. Just short time ago serum therapy was used in only few cities and states. Perhaps now the advantages of ser um are generally known and applied. Perhaps even greater successes may be expected from the recent advan- ces made in chemotherapy.
 "The full possibilities and limita- tions of the new drugs have not been defined, but the use of sulfapy- r1dine and allied drugs has already yielded most gratifying results. It may be that the most efficient form of tredtInLnt will be found to com blne Sulfapyridine and serum.
 But the problem of penuinonia IS not the concern of the medical pro- fession alone. The public itself must do its share. It is being educated to realize that no cold or other respir- atory disorder can be regarded lightly, and there is no doubt that the lesson is being learned"

Despite his beautiful plumage, the early settlers considered him a nuisance. The birds made inroads or apple orchards and other fruit trees. This infuriated the settlers who slew the paroquets by the thousands. The peculiar habits of the birds made them easy prey for hunters guns. Time after time they would return t othe scene of slaughter, apparently to ascertain what had become of their fallen comrades. Thus whole flocks were exterminated.
 It has been long time since a paroquet has been seen in the state for which it was named. Ard it is also several years since any report has been received of its existence at all. There may yet be a small flock in remote southern Florida, but no one knows surely.
 The illustrations of the Sandhill Crane, the Roseate Spoonbill and the Carolina Paroquet are repro auctions of three of the 194O series of Wildlife Poster Stamps issued by the National Wildlife Federation of Washington, D. c.

 Facing Extinction

The largest colony yet remaining lives on one O. the smaller Florida keys. So zealously are the birds guarded that special permission must be obtained to even photo graph them.
 Dr. Prank M. Chapman, speaking O. the. actions of the young in a nesting colony he visited says:
 When the parents returned, the young were all attention and on the alert for food. On such occasions they usually stood in a row, and in most comical manner swung their heads and necks up and down."
 Another beautiful bird ruthlessly slaughtered, if not exterminated al- together, ie the carolina paroquet. The bird, the only parrot resident of the United States, roamed over a considerable part of the country.
