OUNCE 1 wrote the column
~ about the troubles of Mrs.
Clara Lindy of Lindy's restau-
rant. with the pigeons on her
apartment terrace. 1 have re-
ceivkd number of letters from
New York readers offering ad-
vice TO be relayed TO the lady.
For example, a lady sends me
a newspaper clipping which sets
forth that toy snakes deposited
in the haunts of the pigeons will
cause them TO vamoose and
never to return, and. while 1
am going 10 tell Mrs. Lindy
about this, / must warn her OF
the dire consequences that came
of the expedient in another case.
A friend Of mine who was
vexed by pigeons making free
with his Fifth avenue penthouse
terraces had heard of the toy
snake business, so he bought
some that wiggled in very life
like manner and placed them
where the pigeons would be sure
to see them. But, instead of
taking alarm at the toy snakes,
a fat mamma pigeon picked one
up under the impression that II
was a fat, succulent worm and
carried il 10 her nest in a
secluded corner of the terrace
where she was raising a family
of two young 'uns and gave IT
10 them.
TIIE little pigeons enjoyed the
Il toy snake no little and every
day thereafter the m a m m a
pigeon got them another until
finally the kids had devoured
the entire supply and, what is
more. had developed a taste for
toy snakes. So when they got
old enough to forage for them
selves they were always looking
for toy snakes.
Well. of course toy snakes are
not easy to find in New York
City unless you know just where
to look for them, but in the
course of their search the little
pigeons discovered the snake
house in the zoo and one day
came home 10 my friends ter
races with a baby boa constric-
tor apiece which scared my
friends wife into a conniption
fit.
However. this did not perturb
my friend as much as the fact
that the zoo is threatening to
have him arrested on the charge
that he stole the boas and in
any event, II proves what / say:
that the toy snakes cannot be
guaranteed TO make the pigeons
skedaddle.

Probably so. I think. as
rule. women are more inclined
TO be social climbers than men,
especially women of leisure, as
they have little else to fill their
lives. Men have business, sport
and other adventures. OF course,
some men want TO marry off a
daughter well to help them in
business, but are usually not so
much concerned with the social
side as are the mothers.
2-Yes. At least, to date, it
has been tending TO do so. Ac-
cording to the National Culture
Index, there is more education
per square citizen in Washing
ton, Oregon. New York. Califor-
MIA, Illinois and Massachusetts,
than in other states of the Union,
yet they are dying out more
rapidly than any other states.
The native white population Of
California Is dying out at the
rate Of about n per cent a
generation; New York, II per
cent, and Illinois IL per cent.
The intelligent, educated people
do not have enough children to
replace themselves, and thus,
the groups Of lower education
and probably of lower intelli-
gence are becoming the future
population.
3-Yes. As pointed out by the

about S12,000,000 on medical

See 20 Decline
In Corn Crop

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga .
per cent drop in the 1945-46 world
corn crop was predicted by the
Department of Agriculture's office
of foreign agricultural relations
Despite the decline from last
year, however, world corn produc-
tion is estimated to be II per cent
above the prewar average.
Smaller crops than last year
are reported in North America,
Europe and Asia. Larger harvests
are expected in the southern
hemisphere, but these will be toe
late to provide supplies for export
during the crop year ending June
30, 1916.
A corn crop of better than
three billion bushels has been pre-
dicted for the u. s., but effect OF
unfavorable weather may cause
some reduction In the Oct. ! crop
