The female bears usually remain about their ' dens until May or June. A. W.

A cated at so bins i GRAND OLD DEMOCRAT, A LONG LIFE OF THRILLS. Colonel James McClurg Guffey, prominent in Pennsylvania Demo- cratic politics for a half-century, one of the nation’s four dominant Democratic chieftains from 1896 to 1912 and a pioneer in the field of oil and natural gas development, died in his home, in Pittsburgh on Thursday of last week; March 20. The son of Alexander and Jane Campbell Guffey, he was born Jan. 19, 1839, on a farm near Madison, Westmoreland county, He was the last to survive in a family of nine children, six sons and three daugh- ters. Mr. Guffey began his education at the celebrated country school, “Old Sulphur Springs,” near his father’s home at Guffey’s Landing. Later he took a commercial course in Pittsburgh and at 18 accepted a clerical position with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, in Louisville. He became interested in ous in 1865, at ‘“Pithole,” Venango county, Pa., the first oil boom town, at one time having 16,000 inhabitants but now only a memory. In 1872 he lo- St. Petersburg, Clarion ‘county, during an oil boom there, i | I | ands 1 | purposes. and from that time he was actively interested in the production of oil and natural gas. : Activity in politics began in Clarion county, just at the time he was beginning to expand as an op- erator in oil and natural gas. He came of a family that has always been Democratic, and in 1878 was the Democratic candidate for Con- gress in the Armstrong—Clarion— Indiana—Jefferson district in a three cornered fight between a Republican, a Democrat and a Greenbacker. The Republican, the late Judge Harry White, of Indiana, Pa., was victori- ous. In 1896, when he supported Wil- liam Jennings Bryan as Democratic nominee for president, Guffey was : i ; 1. elected Pennsylvania’s member of First day in any city to be regis- (ye Democratic National Committee, the November election, is carrying with it Democratic leader- ship in the State. This he held for 16 years. In 1908, however, he broke Bryan, candidate for the third time that year, and Bryan's friends un- seated Guffey delegates from Penn- sylvania to the Democratic National Convention held in Denver, Colo. and unhorsed Guffey as national committeeman, electing James Kerr of Clearfield in his stead, Kerr died shortly after his selection, and | the Democratic state committee stored to Guffey the national mitteemanship. 8 During all these 16 years, “Col. J. M.” was known as one of the “Big Four,” the other three being Charley Murphy of New York, Tom Taggart of Indiana and Roger Illinois. In 1912, J. M. Guffey made about his last active stand political- ly in Democratic affairs in Pennsyi- vania and the nation. At that time he opposed Woodrow Wilson for. the Democratic nomination, being a strong supporter of Champ Clark. A. Mitchell Palmer, later attorney- general of the United States and four years ago a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, was elected national re- com- committeeman, displacing the vet- | eran leader. Col. Guffey never thing for himself from his party, though he gave hundreds of thous- of dollars to keep the ma- chinery of the State organization going. It is no secret that he, al- most without contribution from an others, paid the expenses of the Pennsylvania delegations to both the Denver and St. Louis national drawal of candidates nominated at | onyentions of the party. He loved Sep- | politics and played the ganie mere- ly for the thrill of it. His greatest success of all was er in the Beaumont field, Beau- December p,,nt Tex. This operation was first known as the J. M. Guffey Petro- leum Co., but is now known as the Gulf Refining Co. and is controlled secretary of the treasury, and is valued at $500,000,000. When he was born the iron dustry was an infant, with char- coal as its fuel. He was seventeen years old when the invention of the Bessemer converter promised to revolutionize the industry, and he was thirty-eight years old before the first Bessemer converter was established in the Edgar Thomson works in Pittsburgh. Colonel Guffey was six years old when petroleum, in the development of which he was to play so large a part, was first used for industrial In the year of his birth Pittsburgh used not over 300,000 tons of coal. Manufactured gas had been turned on in Pittsburgh in 1837, but it was not until 1883 or thereabouts that natural gas first came in. Guffey was a pioneer in this field also. He was thirteen years old when the Pennsylvania Railroad was com- pleted from Pittsburgh to Philadel- phia. He was forty-seven years old when C. M. Hall began the alum- inum researches which have result- ed in the giant Aluminum Com- in- pany of America. Colonel Guffey made hundreds of millions of dollars and died without a cent. “How about some nice horse- radish?” inquired the grocer of the new bride. “Oh, no indeed,” she smiled sweet- ly. “We keep a car.” with Sullivan of ! asked any- | | INTERESTING FACTS Raven.—The Raven is so rare that it is hardly worthy of consi- deration from the economic stand- ! point. From the historical and literary standpoint the species is exceedingly interesting and import- ant. It is known that the chief food of the Raven is dead fish, crawfish, snakes, and refuse. Hun- dreds of pellates examined near nests in Huntingdon county showed very little evidence which would in- criminate the species. Crow.—The Crow has been so widely discussed that everyone is probably pretty well aware of the status of the bird in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that in the nest- ing season the crow destroys a great many eggs and young birds, as well as the young of certain game mam- mals. The point is that if other food ‘js easily available crows do not as a rule destroy valuable bird and ani- mal life. They prefer smaller ro- , dents, frogs and snakes, snails, var- ious insects, and a good deal of veg- etable matter. During the winter when crows gather in great numbers and when food may be scarce they doubtless do a great deal of damage i and they must be shot or poisoned if the game birds and mammals are to survive. Probably no one should want to see the crow exterminated but this species has so ably solved Tits problems of existence and is so adap- tive that three-fourths of the crows may be killed without endangering the standing of the species. Blue Jay.—This species is not pro- tected in Pennsylvania chiefly be- cause of its habits of destroying the eggs and young of smaller birds. The Blue Jay is fairly common and adap- tive and probably does not need pro- tection. Some of its food habits are decidedly beneficial. | Starling.—Examinations of the stomachs of many Starlings have thus far shown that they are not ‘particularly destructive to economi- cally valuable vegetation. The spe- cies is known to prey upon Japanese beetles and other noxious insects so that much may be said in its favor, Its habit of ousting and occasionally killing our native cavity-nesting birds is very objectionable, however, and in sections of the State where the Starling is becoming so terrifi- cally abundant we will probably have a considerable problem in controlling the species. English Sparrow.— The English Sparrow is unquestionably becoming rarer as a result of the disappear- ance of the horse, or because of the presence of the European Starling. It may be said with some certainty that the English Sparrow now is not a very great enemy of our native birds except in occasional instances, Some of the food habits of the English Sparrow are decidedly praiseworthy. During the nesting period these biras destroy many insects which our na- tive sparrows and warblers pass by, foul-smelling, hard-winged species which are not usually considered palatable. Great Blue Heron, Black-Crowned Night Heron, and Green Heron.—The herons of the State do some damage | locally in capturing valuable fisn. i They are especially destructive in the vicinity of hatcheries and when they become mumerous in these lo- calities, must be controlled. Loon.—While the Loon occasional- ly captures valuable fish, it is usu- ally so rare that it is not of econom- ic importance. | Kingfisher.—The Kingfisher is nev- er an abundant bird. It is widely | distributed, but in the scheme of na- , ture occurs in such numbers as will i not dangerously decimate the popula- tion of fish in any one part of the , State. ; TO BAN 28,000 UNFIT CARS FROM KEYSTONE ROADS. Twenty-eight thousand unfit au- tomobiles will be removed from | Pennsylvania highways during the {coming year in an effort which is ‘part of a national Highway Safety i plan undertaken by various compa- inies in the automobile industry, as announced by the National Automo- | bile Chamber of Commerce. The | program will involve the expendi- ture of approximately $1,050,000 in this State. Nationally, the motor companies plan to scrap 400,000 old automobiles in 1930, at a cost of about $15,000,000. The program is characterized as “perhaps the greatest single safety move in industrial history,” by Al- van Macauley, president of the Au- tomobile Chamber, and former chair- man of its Street Traffic committee. “This widespread experiment will strike at the heart of the unsafe vehicle problem by eliminating a huge block of those cars which are in the poorest condition” says Mr. Macauley. “The rattle-trap car is only one safe,” incompetent, and reckless driv- cause a large proportion of the ac- cidents.

The of this program is to guarantee the plan will be worked out by each company participating, in line with its general sales policies and the volume of its production. R. H.
