BY the Associated Press.

BY lne hSSCc4ated Press.
BALTIMORE. July 24.-State In
surance Commissioner John B Con-
trum says the 4,818 former Mary
land policyholders of the defunct
Keystone Indemnity Exchange are
exempted from payments of assess
ments totaling about s6l1,00O by
provision of the State Legislature.
Centrum. who yesterday wrote the
Pennsylvania insurance department
TO stop sending notices of assess
ments to Marylanders, said Penn
sylvania authorities apparently had
overlooked entirely reference in
the Maryland Court of Appeals
opinion upholding the assessments.
Although the court held the three
year statute of limitations applica-
Bile, it ruled that any general rule
must conform to the provisions of
section lila of article 48-A of the
code enacted by the act of 1941.
This provides that no action or
court proceeding shall be brought
against subscriber, policyholder or
contract holder of domestic or for
eign reciprocal or interinsurer, for
the purpose of enforcing an assess
ment later than one year after the
termination of such subscribers pol
icy or contract, unless such sub
scriber, policyholder or contract
holder sought to be charged shall
have been notified of such assess
ment within one year after the ter
mination of his policy or contract"

the starlings did. If they err, according
to the larger judgment, by selecting the
best nesting sites, that properly cannot
be blamed on them.
We may hope that bluebirds and
others, driven away from the nesting
sites which we, as observers, can see,
simply 60 to more secluded places, where
they find good sites which we cannot see.
Let us not be too hasty to think that
just what we happen to see, in bird OBJ
servation, or anything else. is all there is
Maybe the birds have more brains
than many persons credit them with
having. That is, perhaps they are not
so easily upset, as some think. 1t may
be that, driven out Of one place, they go
to another.
The only fighting we have seen at this
feeding station, still very much in op-
Grafton, was on the part of a female
cardinal, who Missed vigorously at the
sparrows.
Have you ever heard a cardinal hiss?
You have to be pretty close to her.
She opens her bill wide, and makes a
true kissing noise, which sounds for all
the world like that made by cat when
confronted at close range by a dog.
This bird kissing is made to drive the
sparrows away. Yet when they refuse to
be driven, but simply keep eating away,
the mother cardinal calms down and
goes on eating with them just as if
nothing had happened between them.
*x xS
The sparrows make sort of bird
bridge, or continuity, between the ac-
tivities of the winter just ended and
next autumn.
They are the bridge birds, the song
sters. which tie the intense feeding ac-
tivities of the cold months to the coming
