Are Leg-Banding Birds to Learn
About Their Migratory Habits
The next time you go duck hunting
there is a chance that you may bring
down a bird having affixed to one leg
an aluminum band with a number and
address on it, If you do, send the band,
or at least the number, to the Biologi
cal Survey, Washington, D. C. In that
way you will contribute a bit, per
haps an important bit, to the govern
ment store of information on the mi
gratory habits of birds.
Bird-banding is recommended by
those in charge of the work as an avo
cation that not only advances the
science of ornithology, but provides
anticipatory thrills like those of the
young woman clerk who slips a sur
reptitious note into a box of socks
destined for an unknown buyer. Rec
ords of the bureau of biological sur
vey show that in a remarkably large
number of instances the hopes of bird
banders have been realized by the
finding of their bands, sometimes in
far-distant places.
Perhaps the most notable case of
the kind was the recovery of a band
placed on the leg of a common tern
bsi Dr. John €. Phillips: a néted
scientist-sportsman at FEastern Rock,
Muscongus DBay, Maine, on July 3,
1913. This tern was one of 100 banded
by Dr. Phillips.
In August, 1917, more than four
vears from the banding, a native of
[kiribi, in South Nigeria, British West
Africa, found the dead bird floating
in a river. Apparently it had been dead
only a short while. The band with its
mysterious letters and figures on the
bird’s leg so excited the superstitious
awe of the native that he took it to a
missionary. The missionary reported
the find to the New York bird-band
ing society which had issued the tag,
and eventually the case found its way
into the government records.
It was common knowledge already
that the tern was a cosmopolitan spe
cies of bird, but the flight of Dr. Phil
lips’ tern gave the first positive proof
of the ability of the species to cross
the ocean. As to the route taken by

FIG LEAF IS BANNED.
PARIS.—The club of the unclad
ones has formed a little hamlet in the
woods in the vicinity of Moncla,
France. Even the fig leaf of Adam
and Eve has been abandoned, and the
only time members may wear clothing
is at the regular afternoon conference
of the club, but very few clothes are
allowed then.
Twenty-six couples have become
members of the club and are living in
the ‘\voods. The organization has a
president, secretary and treasurer, and
daily meectings are held. The object
is Detter health and better morals
through a return to simple life.
Some Live in Trees.
Some of the club members prefer to
live in huts built high in trees, while
others live on the ground in crude
homes, and still others inhabit caves.
Life in the woods will continue even
through the winter, when a large club
house will be built.
Once each week a member of the
colony is appointed to don all his
clothes and go to town for mail. He
also buys little luxuries in the shape
of food. During the rest of the time
the cave dwellers subsist on wild fruit,
fish and animals.
13,711 Bills Started
Through 67th Congress;
1,057 Became Laws
Mathematical Sharks Attempt to Fig
ure How Much It Would Have
Cost If All Had Been Enacted.
WASHINGTON, D. C—Thirteen
thousand seven hundred and eleven
bills were introduced in the house
since the sixtv-seventh congress went
to work in April, 1921. Clerks today
found that of this number 1,057 were
passed.
In the sixty-sixth congress 15,492
bills were presented, and 734 became
laws. Some mathematical sharks at
tempted to figure how much it would
have cost the government, and how
much time would have been required
had all the measures proposed been
enacted, but they ran out of pencils
and paper.
“Anybody can throw a bill into the
hopper,” said a veteran legislator, “but
it takes a wise man to put it through
the mill.”
GERMANS KILL THOUSANDS

the bird, the imagination has full play.:
It may have flown directly southeast‘
into Africa; it may have crossed the
north Atlantic into Europe and work~|
ed its way south with its ovcrseasl
cousins, who breed in the British Isles
and northern Europe and winter alongl
the Mediterranean; it may have flown‘
to South America and crossed from
there; it may have migrated to Alaska
and crossed the Pacific into Asia by
way of the Aleutiain Islands. The sin
gle established fact that this North
American bird, somehow, made its
way from Maine to Africa suggests to
scientists of the Biological Survey that
there is more intermingling of thc’
birds of the Old World and the New
World than was once believed to be
possible.
Altogether, the 175 co-operators of
the Biological Survey banded last sea
son about 2,000 waterfowl and 4,500
insectivorous birds, including white
throated sparrows, song Sparrows,
juncos, common terns, laughing gulls,
myrtle warblers and many other va
ricties, and it is confidently believed
that from these banded birds the sur
vey will eventually accumulate the
mass of data needed for the settlement
of a number of moot questions. Re-l
sults obtained to date indicate to thel
survey that the migrations of birds are
too orderly to be a matter of chance—
that not only species, but individual
birds, follow the same routes year af
fen year.
Each of the bands supplied by the
Biological Survey carries a number
and the address of the survey. The
operator forwards frequent records of'
his work; for instance, that on a cer
tain day in September he banded a
mallard duck in Maine, using band
No. 14,500. A hunter in Missouri, say,
bags a duck with that number and
notifies the survey. The survey in turn
informs the operator, who is thus kept
in constant touch with the results of
his experiments. The survey itself has
a complete card-system record of all
banding operations.
PRIMARY FOR U. S. SENATOR,
AND CONVENTION POSTPON
ED. BIG ROW PRECIPITATED.
The democratic executive committee
of Georgia, in session at Macon Sat
urday, fixed the dase of the primary
for the nomination of a United States
senator and pension commissioner for
October 17th and changed the date
of the state convention scheduled for
tomorrow, October 4th, to October
18th. In the event a run-over primary
is necessary to determine the winner
in the senate race it will be held on
QOctober 24th.
Entrance fees for the senate race
will be $250; for pension commission
er $lOO. Entries for both races close
at noon on October sth, all candi
dates to have signified their intention
in writing.
W. J. Vereen, chairman of the state
committee, stated that postponement
of the state convention until after the
senatorial primary in order to avoid
the time and expenses of two conven
tion met with the approval of Gov.-
elect Walker and a large number of
his friends to whom the matter had
been mentioned.
Action Unwarranted, Says Walker.
In a statement issued after the ad
journment of the committee Mr. Walk
er denounced the postponement of the
state convention, and urged the dele
gates to be in Macon on Wednesday,
October 4th, for the purpose of hold
ing the convention as originally sched
uled, and in disregard of the state
committee’s action.
Mr. Walker in his statement declar
ed the action of the state committee
was both unauthorized and improper,
and was a piece of political jugglery
which the people would not tolerate.
He declared his delegates would meet
in Macon and hold their convention
and would order a senatorial primary.
Mr. Walker, in his statement did
not say whether the convention would
call a special senatorial primary on
the same date, October 17th, as the
date fixed by the state committee at
their Macon meeting Saturday.
Everybody Wants to Run.
With the announcement of the ac
tion of the state committee candidates
for the wvacancy in the senate began
to make their plans for the primary.
There are five avowed candidates in
the race now, these being Judge G.
H. Howard, of Atlanta; President
Herbert Clay, of the state senate;
Colonel John T. Boifeuillet, member
of the state public service commis
sion; Carl F. Hutcheson, Atlanta law
ver, and Judgé Horace Holden, of
Athens, former supreme court justice.
It was generally agreed in political
circles that the candidacy of either
‘Governor Thomas W. Hardwick or
former United States Senator Hoke
Smith will announce at once. Pros
pective candidates are H. H. Dean, of
Gainesville; W. F. George, of Vienna,
and Judge D. T. Gower, oi Ceordcle.
Besides these, names too numerous to
mention have been suggested.
Candidates for pension commission
er are Colonel J. W. Clarke, of Au
gusta, the incumbent; Major C. E.
McGregor, of Warrenton; Judge
Butts, of Buena Vista; Judge Ward,
of Douglas, and H. H. Phelps, of At
lanta.
May Eliminate Some.
It is understood Mr. Walker has
called a conference of his friends in
Atlanta to discuss ways and means of
concentrating on one candidate for the
United States senate who shall repre
sent this political group. Mr. Dean is
perhaps looked upon with most favor
by that faction.

SAI\"D.ERSVII,LE. Ga.—Jim John
son, negro, was lynched on Thursday
morning while being carried to
Wrightsville, Ga., for trial.
Johnson was charged with assault
upon a white woman, and information
reaching here is to the cffect that he
confessed before being put to death.
He was hanged from a tree and
riddled with bullets, more than 200
being fired into the body.
Johnson was brought here last July
immediately after the alleged crime,
which is said to have occurred in
Johnson county.
.This morning Sheriff English was
awakened by Deputy Sheriffs Davis
and Mixon, of Johnson county, and a
third man, who demanded the prison
er, saying they wished to take him
back secretly to Wrightsville.
Several miles from Sandersville the
officers found their road blocked by
an automobile. Stopping they were
surrounded by an armed posse of
about fifty men, were disarmed and
the prisoner was taken from them and
loaded into an automobile. He was
carried to Cedar creek bridge, three
miles from Wrightsville, where the
lynching took place. |
Attempted to Burn Woman.
Johnson is known .as Jim Drisdom,
and is the same negro who had been
rescued from mobs on two occasions,
it was stated.
Drisdom, a farm hand employed by
a prominent Johnson county farmer,
attacked the daughter of his employer
while she was cutting vard brooms
near a branch last spring. In the
struggle the woman slashed the negro
across the face with a butcher knife.
The assailant then poured gasoline
over the woman’s clothing and set her
on fire. She jumped into the stream
nearby, however, and extinguished the
flames. The woman’s little child, who
was with her, was nct harmed.
