CRAY SQUIRRELS IN PARKS
Dr. Surface Says There Is Something
To Be Said For and Against the
Children's Pets
A gentleman interested in the civic
improvements of Auburn. X. Y., wrote
to State Zoologist H. A. Surface, sav
the advisability of introducing gray
squirrels into our city parks and wish
vou would tell me what there
said for and against so doing." Pro
fessor Surface replied as follows:
' • Replving to your letter asking
about the advisability of introducing
into your city the gray squirrel to
propagate it and protect it as a public
pet animal, allowed to ran at large
through the residential streets, public
parks and cemeteries, I can say that
there is much to be said on both sides
of the question. In favor of it is the
fact that these animals when tame are
a source of great pleasure, as they are
social and inviting, and will come to
the hands of visitors to receive food.
They are easi-lv kept in semi-captivitv,
and" fed fcv putting nuts in 'boxes for
them. Double walled nesting boxes
should also be provided. They arc ob
jects of special attraction for children,
and none of our native animals are
more interesting in their actions than
the gray squirrel.
4 ' Against its introduction are the
following facts:
"It is a serious enemy of birds, as it
will eat the eggs or even young birds
in the nest, as I have seen. This, how
ever. can be overcome by putting bands
of tin around the trees with birds'
nests, which are to be protected. Where
the trees stand iu a cluster protect thus
each one.
''Squirrel* are also very destructive
to flowers, especially bulbous plants
such as tulips and dahlias. They dig
them out and devour the ttuKb. and are
liable to destroy many kinds of plants
and flowers. They can be kept from this
by dusting plants occasionally with
powdered tobacco and cheyenue pep
per.
'"The squirrels gradually work out
from the parks along the streets, and
are quite liable to be killed by dogs,
and even by persons who would snare,
trap or otherwise kill them for food.
•'Arrangements must be made for
some person to feed them regularly,
even though visitors wall feed them at
frequent intervals.
"They thrive and breed in captivity
and do very well. You should remember
the importance of some local means of
keepiig dogs away from the parks
where the-v occur."

"One of the recent communications
from the Eiffel tower declared that a

"Eastern theatre of war: Russian
attacks northeast of Grodno led them
into a flank tire from our artillery and
failed. Northeast of Lorn sea Russian at

SPAIN SUFFERS "SEVERELY
FROM EFFECTS OF THE WAR
Madrid, Via Paris, March 5, 530
A. M.—Evidence that Spain is suffer

the war than any country except the
belligerents is contained in dispatches
from different provincial centers. Not
withstanding drastic measures taken by
the government to prevent monopolistic i
prices the oast of food, especially- bread
and meat, continues to rise. T\ie situ
ation is felt most acutely by the work-1
ing classes already hard hit by the in-
I dustrial stagnation resulting from the I

At Pampuella, Seville. Saragossa and
I <."adi: economic i'ifticulties arc becoming
;so serious that the authorities have
1 been obliged to resort to drastic expedi

Grave disorders nave occurred at

stormed the bake shops aud civil guar is

IP. M.—The question of a food short

j Spain, the Cabinet after a special rneet

j statement that the government recently
had purchased 80,000 tons of cereals
and that the existing stock was suf

CENSORSHIP OF PRESS IS
SCORED BYFRENCH DEPUTY
Paris. March 4. 11.15 P. M.—Cen
i worship of the press, the suspension of
! newspapers and limitations of political
I liberty were strongly criticised in the
j chamber to-day by Deputy Paul Meunier
in speaking on his resolution to lift
;•' the political state of siege." He de
-1 manded that all rights of the French
j people be restored to them and declared
' nothing justified the suppression of eer
i tain newspapers. His declaration that
Napoleon never had recourse to such
i methods brought forth shouts of laugh
ter from his colleagues.
Premier Viviani in reply declared
the state of siege was an act of govern
ment and had been approved by Parlia
| ment. Martial law was declared be
cause of war, he said, and authority
' was tranferred to the military power.
' He did not believe now was the time to
raise this siege. The press itself had
organized the press bureau, the Premier
declared, but with its many duties oc
i casional blunders were only natural.
"I ask the chamber," said he, "to
| defeat this resolution and I request
, writers and orators to imitate the most
humble of our citizens." He closed
with a tribute to the nation for its at
' titude in these trying times.
M. Meunier then declared the gov
i ernment should repose the highest con
| fidence in the democracy and justice,
j It was in this spirit, he said, that he
| introduced his resolution, but in view
of the explanations which had been
made, he consented to withdraw it.

Keep Your Lungs Strong
This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until it is too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, confining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, snnshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen
trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
If you work indoors, tire easily , fed

Washington. March s.—Congress i
has gone to-day perhaps not to return
again before December. Members of ,
the Sixty-third Congress had shaken j
the dust of Washington from their feet
and with but few exceptions were
homeward bound.
The capitol practically was deserted
and ine familiar figures of the nation's
lawmakers were absent from the streets t
of Washington. About the only activity j
at the capitol was evidenced by a hand- '
fill of committeemen who remained be- j
hind to continue investigations ordered
!by Congress and em loves who were!
! cleaning up the "odds and ends" of [
i business. The committeemen will carry j
j on during the recess the inquiry into j

Do You Know that Railroad
Expansion Makes Work
and Stimulates Industry?
Money saved by the railroads flows back to the people. The
$2,000,000 paid annually by the railroads of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey to unnecessary trainmen,-forced upon them by the Full
Crew —or " excess man crew " —Laws, deprives the people of the
big benefits and advantages this money, properly expended, would
bring.
Because the efficient development of the railway industry in
these States is so materially identified with the prosperity of the
farmer, business man, working man, and scores of more or less af
filiated industries, the railroads ask the people to help them save
this huge amount —now absolutely wasted —that it may go to
useful purposes and work toward restoration of general prosperity.
This $2,000,000 spent for 80 locomotives, for example, would
make one year's work for 1745 men, as follows:
In the locomotive shops 894
> In the vai-ious processes of producing the 39,200,000 pounds
ol material going into these locomotives, 851 men would
get employment as follows:
In steel mills . 206
In blast furnaces . " . . 45
In iron mines 140
In coal and coke production ....... 60
In other work 400
Wages for all these men would amount to $1,750,000. This
wage money going into circulation would make work in hundreds
of other directions. i
Railroad development bears upon all industries. It affects
hundreds of businesses, thousands of individuals. Under normal
conditions, the railroads constitute a great constructive force. In
creasing their facilities and improving their systems results in
stimulating all industry and business and automatically creates
work for innumerable persons in many occupations.
Increased industrial activity swells passenger and freight traf
fic. This means more trains and real work for additional crews.
In turn, it necessitates more locomotives and cars, increased equip
ment, erection of new and remodeling of old stations, reduction of
grades and curves, elimination of grade crossings, construction of
sidings in producing territories, increased passenger and freight
terminal facilities.
The welfare of the people and the prosperity of the railroads
are closely linked. The railroads find their prosperity in the gen
eral welfare. They seek not to decrease, but to increase, employ
ment.
Communicate in person, by letter, or otherwise —TODAY—
with your elected representatives at Harrisburg and Trenton. Ask
them to repeal the Full Crew Laws. Call attention to the fact that,
of 282 editorials received to date, 229 urge the repeal of the laws.
Let all get together fo wheels of industry turning—
to open wide the doors to prosperity.

PLAY TITLE DECISION
Klaw & Erlanger Win All Bights to
"A Fool There Was"
Xew York, March s.—Supreme Court
Justice Platzek handed down a decision
in the case of Klaw & Erlanger and
Hilliard against the General Film Com
pany, declaring that the title "A Fool
There Was ' is the exclusive property
of the plaintiffs and that the defendant
should be enjoined from using the title
even for a different play or for a photo

the General Film Company should ac
count to Klaw & Erlanger and Hilliard
for the moneys received by reason of
the infringement.
This is the first time that any court
has directly passed upon the question
of the exclusive rights of a manager in
the title of his play, it is said. The law
was in a very confused state, it having
been held in the Federal courts that
the title to a play is not protected by
the copyright laws.
