tablished: Zone No. 1. The breeding zone, com

trict of Columbia.
Aim of Statute.
In carrying out the statutory re
quirement of "due regard to the zones
of temperature, breeding habits, times
and line of migratory flight," the fol
lowing are some of the more important
principles on which the regulations
were based, according to the commit
tee: To limit tho list of migratory gamo
birds to species properly so called and
to eliminate species tod small to be
considered legitimate game or too rare
to be longer hunted for sport or profit.
This list has been made to conform as
closely as possible with the statutory
definitions of game.
To prevent spring shooting.
To protect migratory birds between
sunset and sunrise.
To provide protected flight lines
along at least three of the great navi
gable rivers.
To make tho seasons approximately
equal fa length In different parts of
the country.
To limit the hunting seasons to a
maximum of three or three and one
half months.
To regulate these seasons according
to latitude and times of migration and
to adjust them so that there ma? be
reasonable opportunity of securing
thirty days' shooting of any species at
a given place.
To provide separate seasons for wa
terfowl, rail, shore birds and wood
cock. The woodcock seasons arc mndo
to conform as nearly as possible with
the seasons for upland game under
stnto laws, so that there may bo no
opportunity in close seasons to hunt
quail or grouse under the guise of
shooting woodcock.
To curtail hunting at the end instead
of tho beginning of tho open season,
In tho Interest of both the birds and
tho sportsmen.
Effect of Eegnlations.
Tho probable effect of these regula
tions may be briefly stated as follows:
(1) Uniformity In protection of mi
gratory and Insectivorous birds in the
several states.
(2) Protection of birds in spring
while en route to their nesting grounds
nnd while mating.
(3) Uniformity In protection of mi
gratory birds nt night.
(4) Establishment of protected mi
gration routes along three groat rivers
in tho central United States.
(5) Complete protection for Ave years
for tho smnller shore birds and other
species which have become greatly re
duced In numbers.
(0) Reduction of tho open season on
migratory gamo birds, but In most
cases not more than 23 to 50 per cent.
(7) No change In existing conditions
before Oct. 1, 1013.
Although tho law names tho more
lmportnut gamo birds, a regulation de
fining groups is necessary to show defl
nltely tho kinds of birds included un
der tho terms "nil other migratory
gamo and insectivorous birds." In
framing those definitions tho statutory
definitions of tho various state laws
have been followed ns closely as possi
ble, in so far as they relate to migra
tory species; tho birds have been ar
ranged in natural groups and tho com
mon names adopted by tho American
ornithologists' union hnvo been follow,
ed when tho birds have more than one
common nnme, slnco It Is obviously
Impracticable to Include oU tho local
uames.
Night Shooting.
Tho regulation prohibiting night
shooting is Intended to bring about
uniformity in provisions now In force
In most states, protecting water fowl
and other birds at night or within cer
tain hours between sunset and sunrise
so that tho birds may bo unmolested
on their roosting grounds nnd may
have tlino to feed after sunset or bo
foro sunrise. It will make no chango
in existing law In nbout one-fourth of
tho states. It will mako existing reg
ulations clearer In nlno states. It will
add an hour's protection, more or less,
In tho morning and evening In nbout
ono-fonrth of tho states, and It will
reculato night shooting In fourteen
states which now have no restrictions
of this kind.
This regulation simply makes uni
form tho protection now accorded
those birds tn more than forty states.
It protects tho robin, tho lark and oth
er birds In tho few states In which
they suffer from an open season. It
nttempts no change In existing regula
tions regarding the Issue of permits
for collecting birds for scientific pur
poses. Gives Greater Protection.
A closed season for several years is
provided In an effort to harmonize the
absolute protection already given some
birds In certain states, the demand for
five year closed seasons for shore birds
nnd tho necessity for greater protec
tion for other birds which have been
hunted beyond the margin of safety.
The protection accorded woodcock and
rail Is already existing lnw; that on
Bwnns has been made uniform through
out nil the states and that of wood
cock extended from a few states in
the northeast to most of the states In
zone No. 1, east of the Mississippi riv
er. The only iniportnnt additions are
the additional protection given band
tailed pigeons in n few states and the
closed season placed on avocets, cranes,
curlew, godwlts, kllldeer, stilts, upland
plover, wlllct and the smaller shore
birds.
The suspension for hunting on the
Ohio, Mississippi nnd Missouri rivers
allows waterfowl a safe highway from
their winter feeding grounds in tho
lower Mississippi valley to their nest
ing grounds In Minnesota and tho Dn
kotas and forms an extended refuge
which is easily defined and can be gen
erally recognized.
Only Two Zones.
More than fifty separate seasons for
migratory birds were provided under
statutes In force in 1012. This multi
plicity of regulations or zones to suit
special localities has apparently had
anything but a beneficial effect on tho
abundance of game. Tho effort to pro
vide special seasons for each kind of
game In each locality merely makes a
chnin of open seasons for migratory
birds and allows the continued destruc
tion of such birds from the beginning
of the first season to the close of the
last. It is believed that better results
will follow the adoption of the fewest
possible number of zones and so regu
lating the seasons In each as to Include
the time when such species Is In the
best condition or at the maximum of
abundance during the autumn.
For this reason the country has been
divided Into two zones ns nearly equal
ns possible, one to Include tho states
in which migratory gamo birds breed
or would breed if given reasonable pro
tection, the other the states In which
comparatively few species breed, but
In which many winter. Within these
zones the seasons arc fixed for tho
principal natural groups waterfowls,
roll, shore birds and woodt-ock. In no
case does the zone boundary cross a
Btato line, and except In very rare
cases tho seasons are uniform through
out the states. Deviation from this
rulo lends ultimately to tho recognition
of n multiplicity of local seasons,
which had done so much to retard game
protection.
Seasons In Zone.
Apparently few changes have been
made In existing hunting seasons In
zone No. 1 except In tho elimination of
spring shooting, and about half of the
states In this zono now close tho sea
son on water fowl by the middle of
December or the first of January. In
most states In this zone the hunting
season begins on some date in Septem
ber, nnd these dates have generally
been followed In tho regulations. In
two or three cases in which states
have several different seasons for dif
ferent counties It has been necessary
to effect n compromise either by adopt
ing one season or tho dates which most
nearly conform with tho seasons In
adjoining states. A slight change in a
few of the state laws would make it
possible to eliminate most of the ex
ceptions and apparent Inequalities in
tho sensons.
In most cases tho close seasons in
zone No. 2 end on tho snmo dates ns
the seasons under tho stnto laws, but
eliminate spring shooting after Jan.
15. This avoids confusion in tho open
ing of the hunting season nnd pro
vides shooting in the autumn or early
.winter, when the birds arc in the best
condition. In four states Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina tho seasons for water fowl
do not open until Nov. 1, nnd the sea
son Is consequently extended to Feb. I.
Tho difference of fifteen days In tho
length of tho season in these states ns
compared with tho seasons elsewhere
Is more than offset by the fact that the
birds aro present practlcnlly through
out tho open season, whereas in the
northern zono and In some states In
tho southern zono they nro present
only part of tho time.
Provides For Hearings.
Tho object of hearings is to. afford
persons interested an opportunity to
present evidence showing the neces
sity for readjustment of some of tho
seasons so as to adapt them better to
local conditions and to submit now
data regarding local abundance of
birds nnd times of migration. Tho de
partment already has ample Informa
tion regarding tho seasons provided
under existing laws and tho changes
which have been roado from time to
tlmo. Tho deslro to hnvo tho hunting
seasons as long as possible is natural,
but as such seasons havo heretofore
been too long tho question is merely
one of adjustment within certain max
imum limits.
Consequently, If tho birds nro to be
restored, some curtailment of tho sea
son in each stato Is essential. In such
an effort general welfare should take
nrocodenco over prlvnto Interests.
CURE FOR INDUSTRIAL EVILS
When Time and Labor Unnecessarily
Consumed In Transporting Prod
ucts There Is Big Waste.
If tho public could be convinced
that It is economy to begin with
fundamentals the problem of progress
In every line of social endeavor would
bo solved.
At present the solo remedy tor
many industrial evils lies In tho bet
terment Of roads.
Manifestly, when time Is unneces
sarily consumed and labor wasted In
transportation of products to market
there is a fundamental waste Ono
Instance will serve as an Illustration.
A man loaded his wagon early ono
morning with a balo of cotton and a
few bags of the Ioobo product Ho
lived twenty-two miles from town.
The roads In that section are hotter
than tho average, but It took him un
til nightfall to reach the selling point.
He and his half-grown son, who ac
companied him, spent the night In
town, paying tho expense of lodging,
meals and keep for tho team. Tho
second day was spent in negotiations
for the sale of the cotton and tho pur
chasing of a few necessaries. Thoy
arrived on tho third day late in tho
afternoon, having lost practically
throo days.
That farm was mortgaged. Every
thing made from year to year was
paid out In Interest and for a poor liv

fact, anything that would enhance the,
value of the place.
If this farmer had raised small mar
ketable crops which he didn't he'
could not afford tho time or grvo up
the uxe of his team to take thorn to
the nearest point A few sweet pota

products raised.
If his place had txjen mortgaged

As conditions are, ho gets poorer and

GOVERNOR SULZER ON ROADS
In Recent Message to New York
Legislature Ho Laid Down Law
In No Uncertain Terms.
Governor Sulzer of New York Is a
road booster of tho right type. In his
recent message to tho New York
legislature ho "laid down the law" to
tho legislators In no uncertain terms,
pointed out defects In Now York's
road laws and pronounced tho doom
of tho spoilsmen who had been fat
tening on the people's money, says
tho Southern Good Roads. In his
message ho paid this great tribute to
good roads:
"We know that good roads, llko good
streets, make habitation along them
most desirable; they enhance tho
value of farm lands, facllltato trans
portation, and apd untold wealth to
tho producers and consumors of tho
country; thoy economize time, give
labor a lift and mako millions in
money; they savo wear and tear and
worry and waste; they beautify tho
country and bring It In touch with
the city; they aid tho social and re
ligious and educational and Industrial
progress of tho people; thoy mako
better homes and happier firesides;
thoy aro tho nvenuo of trado and tho
agencies of speedy communication;
thoy mean tho economical transporta
tion of marketable products tho
maximum burden at tho minimum
cost; thoy aro tho ligaments that
bind tho country together in thrift
and industry and Intelligence and
patriotism; they promote social In
tercourse, prevent intellectual stagna
tion and increase tho happiness and
prosperity of our producing masses;
Thoy contrlbuto to tho greatness of
tho city and tho glory of tho country;
give employment to our idle work
men, distribute the necessaries ot
life the products ot the fields and
tho forest and tho factories encour
age onergy and husbandry, inculcate
love for our scenic wonders, and
mako mankind better and bappter,"
(Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)
DIDN'T LIKE THE GROG SHOP
President Lincoln Expresses His Feel
ings to Prlvato About to Enter
Washington Tavern.
"I was a prlvato In one of the west
ern regiments that arrived first In
Washington after tho call for 75,000,"
said an old soldier. "We were march
ing through the city amid groat crowds
of cheering people, and then after go
ing Into camp were given leavo to see
the town.
"Like many others of our boys, the
saloon or tavern was tho first thing
wo hit With my comrade I was Just
about to go Into tho door of ono of
theso places when a hand was laid
upon my arm, and looking up there
was President Lincoln from his great
height above me, a mere lad, regard
ing mo with those kindly eyes and a
pleasant smile.
"I wa3 almost dropped with sur
prise and bashfulness, but he held
out his hand and as I took It he shook
hands In strong western fashion
and said: 1 don't like to see our
uniform going into these places.'
That was all ho Bald. Ho turned Im
mediately and walked away; and wo
passed on. We would not have gone
into that tavern for all tho wealth of
Washington cjty."
AVERAGE SALOON A NUISANCE
It Is Generally Most Disreputable
Place In Community and Bureau
of Information on All Vice.
The average saloon is tho most dis
reputable place In the community; It
Is a bureau of information on vice;
it Is the first place ono would enter
to Inquire tor a gambling ball or for
a disorderly house. It is likewise the
first place visited by tho officers of
the law when they are looking for a
criminal and tho first place closed In
caso of riot or disturbance. Those
who defend tho open saloon do it on
tho ground that it Is a necessary evil
and that the use ot liquor can bo
bettor regulated by license than by
prohibition it is never defended on
the ground that the saloon is a cen
ter ot morals, an educational Institu
tion, a social asset or even an oco-
nomla advantage. The Commoner.
TAVERN KEY TO GRAVEYARD
Gate to Cemetery of Old Church Near
Berlin Bears' Undesigned State
ment of Great Truth.
There Is said to be on old church
near Berlin. Germany, which is very
attractive to tourists. The graveyard
back of the church is kept locked, but
on tho gate is the following notice
"The key to the graveyard is to bo
found in the tavern."
This is an undesigned statement
of a great truth. A great army of
men annually find the key that opens
tho way for them Into tho graveyard
by going into the tavern. They not
only unlock the graveyard to them'
selves, but oftentimes to Innocent
children and helpless women who are
dependent upon them. Southern Pa

"BLIND TIGER" AND A SALOON
Howard Clinton. In Characteristic
Manner, Contrasts Outlawed Hole
With Legal Dram Shop.
Howard N. Clinton, In his dry, sar
castic way, thuB contrasts the out
lawed "blind tiger" and the legal sa
loon: "Tho bllnd tiger keeps drink
on sale unlabeled, unadverttsed, un
inviting, and out of sight; the saloon
keeps drink for salo In a building
with big show windows on ono of the
best corners of the town, with lights
and flno fixtures, nnd It gathers in
crowds of men who stay late and
treat each other over and over. What
nonsense that 'a hole In the wall'
could sell morel"
Alcoholism and Tuberculosis.
Tho eminent Dr. Huchard, member
of tho academy of medicine, In a re
cent lecture, said: "After having made
for two years praiseworthy attempts
to suppress contagion from bad dwel
lings, etc., tho tlmo has, perhaps, come
when tho commission against tuber
culosis should take up a phaso of the
question tho importance of which Is
known to all and which is ot groat
urgency namoly, tho casual relation
of alcoholism to tuberculosis, and tho
extent to which the former Intensifies
tho latter. This involves, naturally,
tho question of the saloon, which moro
and moro Is becoming a social dan
