Boston Braves Help Quakers by
Winning Over Brooklyn;
Hit Marquard Hard
Special to The Telegraph ,
Philadelphia. Sept. 9.—The Phillies
came back to their own yesterday,
winning from the Giants: score, 9 to 3.
Boston Braves helped to increase the
enthusiasm of local fans by taking two
games from Brooklyn; scores. 12 to 1
and 4 to 1.
There never was a team that "blew
l'p" as often in one season as the Phils
this year. About a dozen times this
year they were counted out by critics
and fans. But each time, somehow,
just when things looked darkest, they
have suddenly surprised the world
with an astounding reversal of form,
btit never so strikingly as yesterday.

OUR BIRD POPULATION
By Frederic J. Has kin
[Continued From Editorial Page.]
areas of timber tracts both of decidu
ous and evergreen trees.
Flock Around Humans
It may surprise most people to
know that the birds are thicker In
areas near to human habitation. Not
withstanding their suffering at the
hands of men, birds evidently love
human companionship and prefer to
build their homes near those of man
kind. The efforts of the Audubon So
ciety and kindred organizations have
secured a great interest in bird pro
tection in many rural communities
and the localities in which this pro
tection has been longest established
show the largest percentage of birds.
The highest number of birds to the
acre so far recorded was on a tract
at Chevy Chase. Maryland, where the
average was seven pairs. It is claimed
that this large number is due to the
encouragement given to the feathered
tribe by the residents of the neighbor
hood. Nesting boxes are liberally
provided. Shrubbery and trees are
available for the birds preferring to
build their own nests and every pre
caution Is. taken to protect them from
fright or injury.
The owner of one-half acre lot in
Chevy Chase had 13 pairs of birds rais
ing young ones upon ills premises last
year. He provided a permanent bird
bath for their convenience. Next to
Chevy Chase comes a tract of fifteen
acres near Kennilworth, Illinois, where
birds have been protected for several
years. The enumerator counted
eighty-four pairs of birds upon this
tract.
Robin Most Abundant
All the enumerators did not report
the v arieties of birds because they did
not know them but the census indi
cates that the robin is the most abun
dant species in the nation as it appear
ed upon all but three of the reports
taken last year, and upon all of the
reports yet tabulated for this year.
The English sparrow, which is much
objected to even by most bird lovers,
ranks next to the robin in point of
numbers. Of the other birds it is in
dicated that for each 100 robins there
are forty-nine catbirds, thirty-seven
brown thrushes, twenty-eight house
wrens, twenty-seven kingbirds and
twenty-six bluebirds.
The bluebirds are in great favor
everywhere. Bird lovers who know
that almost the entire bluebird popu
lation of the eastern part of the coun
try perished seevral years ago dur
ing an unusually severe winter will be
glad to hear that the tribe is recover
ing from the catastrophe and now
numbers several millions.
Aside from the practical value of
the service the bird renders the far
mer by the destruction of insects
detrimental to his crops, there has
come a tremendous recognition of the
esthetic value of bird life in the coun
try within the last decade. Nature
study in the public schools, the Boy-
Scout movement and several other in
fluences have aided this. Boys no
longer rob bird's nests of their eggs
or pride themselves upon killing rob
ins with their pop-guns or air rifles.
Instead they are learning to protect
them from pther destructive influences
and are building thousands of bird
houses each year in their manual
training classes.
Many Protective Measures
The Federal and State Governments
are co-operating to protect the birds
from injury. Each year the shooting
laws are becoming more protective
especially for the smaller birds. Bird
refuges, under private and public aus
pices, are also increasing.
The United States Government has
now seventy-four bird reserves scat
tered over the country to provide
quiet nooks for their protection. Ten
of them have been established within
the last two years. One of these is
the old parade ground of the Fort
Niobrara Military Reservation in Ne
braska. It has been fenced in and a
general invitation given to all birds to
come in and have a good time at
Uncle Sam's expense.
A considerable amount of attention
is now being given to the cultivation
of wild plants and weeds bearing the
seeds which the birds prefer as food.
A list of these seed-bearing plants has
been compiled by the Department of
Agriculture and may be secured by
any bird lover. A number of women's
clubs are having these plants culti
vated in public parks for the benefit of
the birds of the community.
The cat is the greatest menace to
the bird life of the country and much
consideration is now being given to
some plan for restricting the feline
race. In residential districts, stray
cats can be abolished by the pound or
some other restrictive measure. Even
the most cherished pet cat cannot,
however, be entirely cured of bird
eating proclivities. In some communi
ties, inverted tin collars, of sufficient
size to prevent Puss from climbing
over them, are being fastened upon
all trees in which birds are nesting.
But it is not only in the towns and
villages that the cat interferes with
bird life. Millions of cats are now to
be found scattered throughout the
woods of the entire country. They
are animals which have escaped or
been driven out from domesticity and
have returned to their native wild
state. The habit of taking unwel
come cats to the edge of the woods
and dumping them there is costing the :
lives of millions of young birds each i
year.
Exterminating Many Cats
Trappers, during the last ten years
have been capturing many cats in the
snares set for animals bearing more
valuable fur. They are already be
ginning a vigorous campaign of vat
extermination and many sportsmen
are joining in it.
A naturalist, who was two years
ago conducting a scientific study of
the physical resources of Central Cali
fornia, came upon an especially at
tractive forest which was literally
swarming with cats. He only found
four bird nests in an area of over
twenty miles and was fortunate enough
to rescue one of these from a cat
1 which was creeping up to secure a
I breakfast of young birds. He ordered
I his men to destroy as many cats as
possible. Several other parties made
i war upon the cats and a visit to the
1 forest this summer showed that an
encouragingly large number of birds
: had returned to a forest which nature
j had designed for their use.
The Audubon Society is now facing
: a division upon the cat question. A
j canvas of the oats in a Massachusetts
i township last Spring was followed by
a request that restrictive measures bo
; taken for the sake of the birds. But
j many members of the Audubon So
ciety are lovers of cats as well as
birds and the wholesale cat exter
mination advocated by part of the
organization is meeting with opposi
tion. Some of the census enumerators
are volunteering reports as to' the
number of cats in the neighborhoods
iin which the canvasses are made.
! Such information may have some tm
j portant bearing upon the situation.

i
Manager Jack Dunn, of Richmond,
is ready to boost Harrisburg for In

terday by President Frank DeWan, of
the Harrisburg club. There is a strong
probability that Richmond will be
transferred to a more advantageous
location.
Manager Dunn said during the re

ready to take up the Harrisburg propo
sition in case the New York Americans
did not exercise their option on the
Harrisburg club. Rochester and To
ronto are both lined up for this city.
Manager DeWan said:
"Conditions under which Harrisburg
may continue as an International
League city will be outlined some
time during December. What these
conditions will be no one can tell at
this time. They will likely cover plans
for necessary improvements at the
baseball field and coupon book ar

Scarcity of Steel Cuts
Down Output of Fords
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Sept. 9. An extra
ordinary development in the steel situ
ation became known yesterday. Ow
ing to inability to secure good steel
deliveries, production of the Ford
Motor Company during July and
August was cut down from a normal
capacity of 1,000 cars daily to about
300 cars a day. With this condition
applying to the Ford company, it was
thought in the trade that other auto
mobile manufacturers were doubtless
experiencing similar conditions.
The United States Steel Corporation
will issue on Friday its August ton r
nage statement. Little if any Increase
in the amount of unfilled tonnage on
September 1 is looked for.
China Would Extend

Washington. D. C., Sept. 9.—Dr. E.
E. Pratt, chief of the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, an
nounced to-day the receipt of a letter
from David Z. T. Yui, secretary of the
Chinese Commercial Commissioners,
who recently toured America, sug
gesting that the United States and
China should "join hands to make
the best use of present opportunities"
for increasing trade. Mr. Yui has
charge of the lecture department of
the national committee of the Young
Men's Christian Association of China. |
He offered to make use of advertising |
material from American manufactur- |
frs in lectures on commerce and in- j
dustry. Considerable material in the
form of motion films, charts, maps I
and pictures from several American
firms already is in use.

DR. DIXON SPEAKS ON
HEALTH CONDITIONS
Discusses the Outbreaks at Dan-k
ville and Erie Where State
Officers Are at Work
Commissioner of Health Samuel G.
Dixon, when interviewed relative to
the present epidemic of infantile par
alysis at Erte which is alarming the
residents of that city, said:
"Poliomyelitis has been known to
the medical profession of the world
since 1840, and in America since 1896.
Epidemics of considerable size have
being reported at varying intervals
throughout the North Temperate Zone
from 1887 to the present time, the first
great outbreak in this country occur
ring in Vermont in 1894. Serious and
far-reaching epidemics occurred in the
United States in 1910 and subsequent
ly. Pennsylvania had an epidemic of
neary two hundred cases in the vi
cinity of Dußois and EauClaire, Ridg
way and Oil City in 1907, a small out
break in the vicinity of Gettysburg in
1908 and a State-wide outbreak in
1910, including a total of more than
1,000 cases. ,
"The disease is sudden and insid
ious in onset, accompanied by diges
tive disturbances, slight fever and of
ten considerable stupor, a red rash ap
pearing in some Instances. The aver
age case without appearing to be very
sick at any time is only diagnosed
about four or five days later'when
paralysis occurs.
"With the successful inoculation of
monkeys in 1910 by virus from the
brains or spinal cords secured from
children dead of the disease, new in
terest was aroused and since then re
search workers in all parts of the
world have sought the cause.
"The causative factor is so small
that it will pass readily through' the
best of filters any may be found best
with dark field microscopes of great
magnification. In the department's
research laboratories we have often
transmitted infection from monkey to
monkey. How it is transmitted fronr
man to man is still in doubt, al
though much evidence has accomu
lated that would point the finger of
suspicion toward biting insects.
"It is well to disinfect all dwellings
at the conclusion of the disease with
both formaldehyde gas and with sul
phur, sulphur to insure destruction of
insect life; and if stables are near, to
have them thoroughly disinfected and
put in sanitary condition. Damp
houses should be thoroughly dried out
with heat."
