. Bird lore. Birds; Birds; Ornithology. The Audubon Societies 69. BIRD-BOXES BUILT AND SOLD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WAR-SUFFERERS Photographed by W. W. Grant At the recent annual meeting of the Ohio State Audubon Society, Miss Ger- trude Harvey reported that twenty-five kinds of birds nested every year in her garden. The State Audubon Society of Cali- fornia has designed a handsome seal, depicting a Phainopepla in a pepper tree. It is to be printed on a 'sticker' and used as has become a custom with the Red Cross seals at Christmas. An autumn meeting of the energetic bird club of Saratoga Springs, New York, was entertained by a novel 'stunt' in the program. The hall was darkened, and the Secretary, Miss Kate McCloskey, told the progress of a June day in the bird- world. As she proceeded from hour to hour, calls of the various birds singing during the day were given by a group of boys stationed in diiJerent parts of the auditorium—songs of the Robin, Whip- poor-will, Thrush, Bob-white, White- throated Sparrow and other familiar acquaintances. In addition to this, pic- tures of birds were thrown on the screen, and phonograph records of their songs given simultaneously. Such programs are both instructive to the audience and help- ful to a society. More Alien Depredation The accompanying photograph repre- sents the contents of an Italian's pocket after his capture at South Norwalk, Connecticut, one Sunday morning last spring. It illustrates what would happen here in the North if it were not for the work of the wardens. To show the per- sistency of the Italians in killing song- birds, I have but to mention one swamp adjoining the farm of an Italian on the edge of a city, where for the fourth year running we have captured an Italian shooting small birds; and three years out of the four the culprit was stopping at the farmer's house, and each year was severely fined. This summer I caught a man with two Juncos and one Goldfinch, showing that nothing is too small for them.
