PROTECTION OF Tl BEAUTIFUL SONG BffiDS :j>ess of E. F. Botsford Before State Fair Commission—County Falr§ Should Assist. \. ilio annual meeting of the State •...!• Association held at the court house . :l:n (.iiy of Albany a few days ago, . i Uotsford, president of the Clinton ,i ty Agricultural Society, was, by In- ..'lui-.. one of the principal speakers. :, :. Charles-S. Wilson, State CommiB- !.. r of Agriculture, also delivered an : ss, by Invitation. Mr. Botsford took > is topic \Why Agricultural Societies -iid Protect Song and Insectivorous •.>•, and How.\ He spoke a s follows: A will munageol agricultural society iL.I not be conducted simply for a few v* of amusement, meeting of friends. . M Miiikm of horses, cattle, sheep, swine .; products of the farm, garden and. !.nd but should have for its aim and • .• u tho bettering of all conditions that •.••.•it the agricultural interests of the . ti.m of which it i s the center. Among various phases and reasons given tiu. high cost of living* In the present -v. one main feature seems to have . jpi-.i the writers and investigators on .-ubject: namely, the enormous toll . NiaiMlfd by the Insect and animal pests a: have so multiplied and Increased i tin- last generation that over a bll- . n -i.illurs annually, will not cover the -s from this source alone. wV learn from the Year Book of the ; -. i-artinent of Agriculture that from . \i:> hundred bushels of corn, wheat. ;ns, barky and rye the insects demand i >t taUe ten bushels. The same per- v milage of toll is taken from hay, cotton, i..[ tobacco-. Onerflfth of all the garden .: ••{ truck crops are destroyed by the : -=<.( i world. From every hundred bar- . s of apples, pears, etc., twenty are .. <;ioyed by these pests. And so the :.n.ial destruction continues and Itt- i.ases, notwithstanding the continuous ;i;iit which is being put up by the far- •: ITS, orchardlstB and foresters in the .-t- of\expensive' poisons, etc. This alone • ..is between ten and twenty per cent to ,.- high cost of living. One Great Cause of the Lose. Yin.- ruthless destruction of our bird me and the slaughter of our song and i.-c<.uvorou9 birds, both in the south iii-l north, allows this army of destruc- : , n to increase and adds* millions to the Npiiisc In the human endeavor to check •iK> advancing hordes. As our bird life .,.is decreased, our annual losses from in-. •uis have increased and It is now time ., MOP and consider what can be done i... remedy the damage already caused by 'i;,. destruction of our bird life. The Audubon societies both State and national, forest conservation societies . v.d that great body of trained workers ,;>:n the- Biological Department at Washington, are sounding the alarm and hi wing by statistics wnlch cannot be .. n t rail Ic ted, that this groat destruction ii.ust cease. Certain well known species of birds ! ave been exterminated. ' Within our ••nemory the passenger pigeons were BO 7;iinu'iuus that the Immense tlockB on their annual migratory flight caused a seaming eclipse of the srun. These birds •ue now totally extinct the last one dying In captivity In a Zoological Garden In the w.-st in 1916. Many other species have IK-come so Qlmlnianed. uvat they will never again reach their normal condl- l wenty-tive to thirty million birds wviv annually imported into England to U used for millinery purposes. The total annual destruction for years, for this l-urpose alone, has been between two and three million- Our foreign immigrants, especially Italians, the negroes, and poor whites of the south, slaughter every kind of bird life for food and the small boy with his toy gun and sling shot la also a great destroyer of bird life. The cat demands a toll of three million song birds a year in the State of New York alone. And a careful estimate shows that in the United States the annual des- truction caused by this Imported nuis- ance, is from fifty to sixty million birds, which If allowed to live, would each work to aid our agriculturists lr their great tight against the Invading army of in- sects. What the Birds Do. For twenty-five years the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, has been carefully exam- ining the stomachs of thousands of birds which have been killed for scientific pur- poses and the results are printed In their bulletins which are issued for free dis- tribution./ These show among other in- teresting facts that a Yellow Throated Warbler destroys ten thousand tree lice a day; a Scaxlet Tanager will eat WH> Oypsy moths In- 18 minutes; a Might- Hawk's stomach continued 60 grass hoppers and BOO mosquitoes; a Black Blrd'9 stomach contained 30 cut worms; a Cedar Bird's stomach contained 70 cantfer worms; a Purple Martins con- rose and striped beetles. The quail, so^ va gerly sought for by our hunters (bet- tcr known, aa Bob White) is one of the Krt-atest of the farmers' friends, consum- ing in one day 145 species of Insects. Sull many will order \quail on Toast.\ Our common Flicker (the Yellow Bellied woodpecker) has consumed over J.voo .ints i'or a day's ration. It i s estimated that the orioles in New York State eat nine nunared million caterpillars, an- nual Iv. „ , In addition to the great army of in- st-ct eathers, the Song Sparrows and eaters are willing, to do their * 'I11 *•' f_ ^t-i-n .

B.—As a n experiment in communal feeding, the BrltiBh government's camp for war pris- oners at Krockaloe Is the biggest and moat successful thing of its kind ever ?9 U <?n rapte ? ln tne Br «tlsh Isles. Here 22,000 prisoners are housed and fed at a ngure which averages only $2 a man, a The capital cost of the camp, which was built on farm land in the north of the Isle of Man, was 11,260,000. This ngure covers the building of all the bar- racks and administrative offices, kit- chena, streets, sewage, water and elec- tricity plants, telephones, and all the other essentials of a modern city. On a basis of a population of 26,000 the cost of building this prison camp city figures out at about $50 for each inhabitant. The question of food a s related to H a u th . L ha S b . een £, Prime consideration with the British officials from the start. \Our dietary\ explained the command- ant, • 'has been constantly observed and studied scientifically by a staff of medi- cal men, who from tune t o time make such changes as experience dictates. The cooking is all done by the men them- selves, and the excellent results they achieve are not to be-wondered at when It i s remembered that they have amons them some of the.finest chefs of the bJsr English hotels and restaurants. At one time their table was. so much superior to that of the English officers mess that the officers discharged their English cook and requisitioned one of the prisoners, who has been in charge of their kltohen ever since.\ The health of the prisoners bears testi- mony to the adequacy of the food pro- vided. In this improvised town of 25,000 Inhabitants, there have been only 70 deaths in two years—a yearly death rate of less than. 1.5 per thousand. This com- pares with a death rate In all England of 13.3 or In the United States of about 14.1. WILSON VETOES THE LITERACY TEST Disapproves Immigration Bill Because H« Deems Provision Unfair—Cham- .plons a* Measure Begin Taking Steps u> Override Executive Action. Washington, Feb. 6.—President Wilson today vetoed the immigration bill passed recently by Congress because of Its liter- acy test provision. It wa s the Becontf time President Wilson had vetoed an Im- migration bill because of the literacy test, and for the same reason similar measures were vetoed by Presidents Taft an<l Cleveland. When the message' wa s read in the House It was ordered to lie on the table until Thursday morning, and champions of the bill began, laying their plans for an effort to override the veto. Chairman Burnet announced tonight that he would move for a vote Thursday. Two years ago the House lacked only four votes of the necessary two-thirds majority to pass the bill over the veto, the yeas be- ing 261 and the nays 136. The attempt having failed in. the House no action was taken by the Senate. • N When President Taft vetoed a similar measure because of the literacy test the Senate succeeded in overriding him by more than a two-thirds majority, but the House fell short about a dozen votes. The bill which the President vetoed today passed the House last March by a vote of 308 to 87 and. the Senate in December by 64 to 7. _. . The President's Reason*. The President's veto message to the. House, in which the bill originated, fol- lows: \I very much regret to return this bill without my signature. In most of the provisions of the bill I should be very glad to concur, but 1 cannot rid myself of the conviction that the literacy test constitutes a radical change in the policy of the nation which Is not justified In principle. It Is not a, test of character, oT quality or of personal tltnesa,' but would operate in most cases merely a s a penalty for lack of opportunity in the country from which the alien, seeking ad- mission came. \The opportunity to gain an education is In many cases one of the chief oppor- tunities sought by the Immigrant in com- ing to the United States, and our ex- perience in the past has not been that the Illiterate Immigrant is as such an undesirable immigrant. TestB of quality and of purpose cannot be objected to on principle, but tests of opportunity surely may be. \Moreover even if this test might be equitably insisted on, one of the excep- tions proposed to Its application involves a provision which might lead to very delicate and hazardous diplomatic situa- tions. Exemptions In Bill, \The bill exempts from the operation of the literacy test 'all aliens who shall prove to the satisfaction of the proper immigration oilicer or t o the Secretary of Labor that they are seeking admission to the United States to avoid religious persecution in the country of their last permanent residence, whether such persecution be evidenced by overt acts or by laws or governmental regulations that discriminate against the alien or the race to which he belongs because of his reli- gious faith.' —\Such a provision, so applied and~ad^ ministered, ;would oblige the officer con- cerned in effect to pasjs judgment upon the laws and practices of a foreign gov- ernment and declare that they did or did not constitute religious persecutions. This would, to say the least, be a most Invidious function for any administrative otticer of this government to perform, and It i s not only possible but probable that every serious questions of interna- tional justice and comity would arise be- tween this government and the govern- ment or governments thus officially con- demned should its exercise be adopted. \1 dare say that these consequences were not ln the minds of the proponents of thla provision, but the provision separ- ately and ln Itself renders It unwise for me to give my assent to this legislation in Its present form.\ HEARD IN LOWVILLE.

The wildest dreams of those who launched the high skirt idea, have been surpassed. Women have gone silly on the shoe subject. They pay gladly to- day a price for shoes that would have ap- palled them a few years ago. They go in for colors, shapes, kinds and char- acters of sfioes undreamed of in woman's philosophy until recent days. No girl or woman considers she Is well dressed unless she has expensive shoes. It used to be her bonnet that got her most earnest attention. Now It is her footwear. A manufacturer says there Is a tre- mendous waste ln woman's shoes of today. For the high top—that is. the shoe that is S, 9 or 10 inches high—four square feet of kid-skin are required. Kid-skin Is today |1.25 per square foot, so for the skin alone the cost Is |5 . The cost of everything entering into the manufacture of the shoe sole, welt, lining, counters, box toes, silks, eyelets, paste, tacks, etc., has advanced from 25 to 200 per cent:, so that a kid shoe of good class represents considerable money. It Is estimated that in 1916 the Ameri- can woman spent more than twice as much for her shoes as she did in 1915, and she paid more in 1915 than she ever did before since she haa known the use of a shoe. Where, Is it going to end? The manu- facturers confess they do not know. Women's tailors report a tendency to lengthen skirts a trifle. For every inch that the skirt Is lengthened there probably will be a sav- ing of 110,000,000 In the shoe bill of \merlca.

Vanderllp Sees It Confronted 'by Grave Problems and Great Opportunities, \We are a country of economic illiter- ates. I know- of no Illiteracy more dan- gerous to welfare of a commonwealth,\ Bald Frank A. Vanderllp. addressing the Bankers' Club, Saturday evening. \Whatever need there has been for leaders or the country to think soundly, there is going to be still greater need. We ae coming into a time when it will be necessary to make vitally Important national decisions. The effect will be more far reaching, the difficulties in- volved in measuring forces and calculat- ing effects Immeasurably greater, than at any time before in our lives. Today we cannot begin to measure the extent, even to guess at character, of problems the worid .cataclysm is developing;. Our peo- ple as a whole have but slight concep- tion of the nature or that cataclysm and Inevltableness of our relation to its effects. The country will need leaders with ap- prehenBion of true\ principles of action— who will have decision and force In for- mulating policies and putting them Into execution, the like of which the country has not needed in our time. These prob- lems can be neither repelled nor post- poned by the pacifist nor by advocate of preparedness. Some of these questions will come directly from the field of this terrible war, others will develop within cur own borders. \State socialism In Europe may de- velop problems the like of which have never concerned our minds. We may have to meet collective buying, State- aided industries, forms of governmental co-operation with business quite outside our range of thought. Governmental control of ocean-borne commerce and novel factors In International finance will be subjects for national consideration. Indeed, there may ultimately come out of the war changes in forms of government that will have world-wide Influence. - \Such matters are among things one may see when he looks outward, but there are other matters quite as grave developing directly about us. We are in midst of a situation created by the auto- cratic power of great labor unions, right or wrong solution of which will be fol- lowed by consequences which go t o the foundations of the government. Wa s there ever greater need ln the world for just weighing of human rights and economic laws? \Unsound unwise, wrong solution oX these problems will cost us an Immeas- urable sum of potential Wealth, of In- dividual happiness, of national/ progress. How Immeasurably great also will be the reward of right decisions] Never, since the beginning of time, wa s there such opportunity. Never did a people have a choice of two roads that led t o such different destinations. Never did a nation have flung a t It s o many gifts of oppor- tunity, such Inspiration for achievement. We have always known nature had been lavish, that in a material way everything was ready at hand and needed but In- dustry, thrift and right living to bring material success to the country and all its people. \But on top of that comes what seems almost a conspiracy of events to test our moral fiber. A flood-tide of wealth, of opportunity, which, added to our re- resources, puts upon this country a re- sponsibility of trusteeship to the world. We are Hke the heir of an enormously wealthy father. None too well trained, none too experienced, with pleasure- loving qualities of youth, we have sud- denly by a world tragedy been made 'heir to the greatest estate of oppor- tunity Imagination ever pictured. The last 20 years has seen a five-fold develop- ment. I would hesitate to suggest what the next 20 years may see If we rightly manage this heritage. Will we look on It a s we should, as a great respons- ibility?\ Thousands of Miles Qulh) at Compar*« tlvely Small Expense. .

This Is California's sim- ple receipe for good roads: Am unyielding cement concrete founda- tion to sustain weight of traffic.

No complicated 1 engineering details or erratic and unexpected performance of materials A resilient, mudless, dustless wearing surface suited to both horse and motor traffic. A type of road any Intelligent con- tractor can build and feel certain about good results. The concrete foundation does not break down and the asphalt wearing surface does not spall, chip or disintegrate. While other sections of the United Btate» are at 111 discussing road problems and building miscellaneous and unsatis- factory types of roads, costing In many cases 9U.000 or more per mil«, Califor- nia has a magnificent system of high- ways built a t less cost than this State has paid for macadam roads. St. Wlnlfred's Wall. The despatches telling that Bt. Wini- fred's well, In Holywell, Flintshire, Wales, has gone dry observe that It had been flowing \from time Immortal.\ but legend is more specific as t o the date of Its origin. Winifred, or Winefrlde a s she Is known in the Roman Catholic church, or Quenevra a s she was called until the conquest of Wales, was born about 600 A. D. Her uncle, St. Beuno, built a monastery in Flintshire, where the girl lived with her father, Thevlt, a Cam- brian magnate. Caradoc, son of a neighboring prince, tried to carry off Winifred. Sh© fied to- ward her uncle's church, but the w.lcked youth overtook her on the slope above the site of the present well and with his sword cut off her head. The head rolled> down the incline and where It rested there gushed the spring. St. Beuno left the altar, returned the head to the body and covered them with his cloak. After mass he removed the cloak and Winifred was a s well as ever, except for a thin white circle around her neck. Presently Caradoc fell dead where' he stood insolently leaning upon his sword, and it was the popular belief in Wales that the earth opened and swallowed him. There was a stone in the well pool, and St. Beuno, standing on this, made the promise that \whosoever on that spot should thrice ask for a benefit from God ln the name or St. Winifred would ob- tain the grace he asked If It was for the good of his soul.\ All this we have from the British monk Klerlus, whose manu- script Is In the British Museum, and from another script supposed to have been written by Robert, prior of Shrewsbury.
