Looked I'pon by Sportsmen ns Pirate of Bird Life. Philadelphia Public Ledger?""* The crow tribe has been accused and indicted, and its members now are rujil?w?>d fugitives from justice. The offenses charged include rob bery, kidnapping, murder and nearly every other crime on the calendar. In a number of st,ate*\a price has been placed on their heads and armed posses are hot on their trail. Farmers long have regarded the crow as a nuisance and thief, while sportsmen and game wardens have ac cused him of flagrant violations of every known law for the protection of feathered birds. Now it is realized that the "ftlll| game bag" is dependent upon the ex termination of the crow. The miscreants' particular Nemesis is Dr. B. H. Warren, of West Chester, Pa., who has collected evidence so con? vincin^and 'in such great mass that the crow's status has become that of outlaws of the most despicable and dangerous type. t The testimony of Dr. Warren is that of an expert, no having been the state ornithologist of Pennsylvania, an<i is a recognized authority on wild PIANO TUNING Lewis L.

C. telephone? Day 41; . Night 380 life in general, Whet li? perhaps the tribe'* greatest stronghold ?in the cast is a chain of islands oil' the . Virginia coast, and it was to these inlands that Dr. Warren with a guide and photographer made a n expedition. Amon^ the places included in the Itinerary were Chineolleague, Mock* hoi n,// Cedar, Wallops, Assateague, Kevtflks, Owls Bluff and Hog Island. These islands, lying two to eight miles oil' the mainland, are the natu ral haunts and breeding grounds of a groat variety of game birds. Too, they constitute veritable pest spots of fish crows, a near kin of the "garden" kind, Common throughout the United States. The depredations of cfowe, as re ported by Dr. Warren, are appalling njid have aroused sportsmen io an ex ? tent^that will contribute largely to better control, if not, indeed, the ulti mate extermination, of the arch- as* sasins of feathered creatures. During the trip Dr, Warren found the shells of thousands of game bird eggs which had boon destroyed by crows, while included among the vio tims wero scores of young chk'kens and other domestic fowl. - That frightful destruction is not exceptional is apparent from Dr. War den's statement as follows: "Under another nest with young crows, there were the shells of 153 eggs, chiefly those of clapper rail; also a fow gull eggs, with some eggs of domestic fowl. Under one nest which contained | crow eggs I found sixty-seven egg shells with an abund ance of fragments of egg shells and some remains of birds. Under various trees, within a radius of a mile of these nests, scattered about oVer the island and along the marshes where the mud hens breed, I picked up 239 shells of eggs, all of which had been eaten by crows." ? <9 Continuing, Dr. Warren said: "Sev eral years ago, when 1 made careful investigation of the game-destroying habits of crows on Wallops Island, I found the shells of a dozen or more quail eggs which had been destroyed by fish crows, but on my recentytrip I found none ? this for the very sim ple reason that the quail had been in great part, if not wholly, wiped out." Cedar Island, some eighteen miles south of Chineoteague, is a favorite nesting place for game birds and, like others of the group, is a feeding ground for migratory birds. Here Dr. Warren found five crows' nCsts ajid a colony of about forty mature crows. Truly, not a large crow population, but the point is the great destruction of bird life which can be done by*u comparatively few of the pests, for Dr. W&rren reports: "In, an hour and twenty minutes I found under these five nests and within a radius of 150 yards 2,500 shells of eggs of game and non-game birds which had been devoured by crows. v "Three of the nests contained young. Under one of the low cedar trees where there were two .crows' nests, one of which contained four young almost ready to fly, I picked up 197 eggs at the base, of the tree, which covered a space of not more than four feet square. They were piled up. These egg shells were virtually all those of mud hens, with the ex ception of about twenty heron, eggs. A number of shells of eggs of mud hens and clapper rail were hanging to the foliage and limbs as well as in poison vines about the tree." The murder charges against crows are substantiated by the most conclu sive, evidence ? both- direct and cir cumstantial, including results of post mortem examinations of stomachs of ^crows which revealed not only frag ments of bird egg shellsj but also fea thers, bones and other parts of ?lain birds. Nor is exercise of the murderous instincts of crows restricted to the necessity of supplying food for them selves and their young, for the range of their gory crimes includes fratri cide, infanticide, matrigide and ever/ other "cide" except suicide, thfeir vic tims being blind and otherwise dis abled crows which are attacked and brutally pecked to death. The bulk of the attacks on young birds ? game and nongame ? and the theft of eggs is committed during the nesting season of crows. They will, however, steal chicken, duck, guinea and other eggs at any season of the year, and when heavy snow is on the ground attacks are sometimes made on cotton tail rabbits. The fact that crows destroy great numbers of insectivorous nongame birds gives the extermination of the black-coated slayers an economic as pect, for the reason that it is a' recog nized fact that without birds to hold insects in check they wpuld possess the land and the production of food stuffs wcrotd become an impossibility. Sportsmen and farmers have ac cepted the challenge of the crows; in one case to decide whose fight to sub sist is paramount ? that of black plumaged and black-hearted des poiiara- or Um <*ong and garo? bird*, and in the other instance whether the crows or the protectors of the agri- j culturists' crops ^all inhsMt the on rlh aud air. Possessed of almost incredible cun ning, trowa art? mom than a match for any gunner who has not studied the habits and shrewdness of Iho black vandals, In fact, sly Ueyliard could lc.utn i'aUclt by observing the ^lealth and of ratify of his feathered fellow** in crime, Posting sentries in positions which command views of every point of ap proach, a llock of crows, pursuing dastaMly work, arc virtually frw from attack, for the "caw, caw" of the ? sentries gives warning of the presence of a shooter before he gets within gunshot of tho llock. Hut there is something of irony in the faet that while stalkers of erOws find it difficult to come upon their quarry, it ? sh comparatively easy to lure the wily birds to their doom. < One of the methods employed by ex perienced shooters is to imitate the distress call of nestlings; a ruse that will bring Mother^ Crow posthaste to her young, thereby enabling the gun ner to dispatch the parent before pouring well-directed charges <bf shot into the nest. Another bit of strategy is to use a stuffed owl, mounted on a pole, as a decoy. This way of luring crows to within range of a shotgun is made more effective by an ingenious ar rangement of strings which, when pulled, give motion to the owl's wings and head. Owls being the natural enemies of young crows, the old birds never miss an opportunity to attack an owl at sight, and they do it in force, a fact that permits hunters, using an owl decoy, to make wholesale killings. That crows constitute, a serious menace is fast being given cognizance, by conservation organizations and other bodies which view the situation from their respective angles. Virginia pays a bounty of fifteen cents for each crow killed; a price which makps crow hunting quiti pro fitable, with the result that gunners not only' can earn a substantial sum in a day's time, but also combine pleas ure with profit. Game wardens assert that nullifi cation, by the onslaughts of crows, has resulted of much of the work of game propagation and the stocking of fields and forests with quail, pheas ants, grouse and other birds which, while formerly plentiful, are now vir tually -extinct in many sections. Yes, the crow must go ? and that's that. fry- UNIFORM TRAFFIC LAWS., i - "Present Ctiaoe Must End When Nation Builds Roads. Traffic laws which differ indifferent States and different towns in the same State, are a cause of confusion, accident, loss of property, and loss of life. Uniform traffic laws, the same the country over, will promote safety. The objection urged against uniform traffic laws that traffic conditions are different in different localities, does not hold in the' face of the obvious power of the locality to modify or add to the uniform law for special condi tions. There are many observances which, made uniform, would make for safety, such as the system of signal ling for a stop, slow up and turn, a unifoi'm rule as to right of way at crossings, safety procedure at grade crossings, a heavy penalty for such I # \ dangerous practices as passing an other car when coming to 'a curve "or top of a hill, etc. With foi*ty eight States and thou sands of municipalities, all making their own traffic rules, the motorist is more or less at sea as to what he can and can not, should and should not do. But when the National Gov ernment builds roads for the Nation, a national traffic law will be inevita ble as a national police force for the national highways. "A paved United Stales in our day" is not only devoutly to be wished frfr, because of the material benefits it will bring, but because of the safety the uniformity of traffic rules will "pro vide, when the Congress authorizes a system of highways which will serve all the States as a pood State high way system now serves all the coun ties in that state. ?
