left Pittsburgh on July 1 1, the boys proceed- 

 ing on their wheels through Beaver Kails, I'a., 

 then on to Canton, Ohio, where a visit was 

 paid to the tomb of President McKinley. 

 Then the\' inspected the great rubber-pro- 

 ducing city of Akron, and went on through 

 towns and countrysides until Cleveland was 

 reached. Here the bicycles were placed in 

 storage and the regiment of khaki-clad boys 

 proceeded by steamer 200 miles down Lake 

 I'lrie to Buffalo and then on to Toronto. Of 

 course Niagara i""alls and other local points of 



interest were enjoyed. It required more than 

 three weeks to complete the trip. 



I'A'er}- summer Mr. Copp has the boys 

 undertake some special work as they ride. 

 This year, according to the announcement, 

 "The party will distribute pamphlets and 

 post warning posters umler the sanction and 

 direction of the National .\ssociation of Audu- 

 bon Societies." At Buffalo the entire part\- 

 waited on the mayor of the city and handed 

 him a letter of greetings from the President 

 of the National Audubon Societies. 



THUMBS DOWN FOR FLORIDA BIRD PROTECTION 



.\gain the Florida Legislature has had the 

 subject of the conservation of the state's 

 resources presented strongly to it b>' able 

 ad\ocates and again has this honorable bod>- 

 turned a deaf ear to those who would ha\e 

 the state appoint game- wardens to enforce 

 the now unenforced laws for the protection of 

 the wild birds and animals. 



During the greater part of a period of si.\ 

 weeks, Mrs. Katherine Tippetts, of St. 

 Petersburg, President of the Florida .\udu- 

 bon Society, resided in Tallahassee and daily 

 labored with the law-makers in an effort to 

 induce them to see the light and pass a bill 

 for the establishment of a state game warden 

 system, which had been drawn and presented 

 bv the Florida Audubon Society. She was 



received cordially and most courteously, she 

 was the recipient of gracious and compli- 

 mentary remarks as was meet, but in the end 

 went back to her home without getting her 

 bill passed. 



.\ less courageous individual would ha\e 

 been discouraged, but xMrs. Tippetts has an- 

 nounced to the women's clubs of the Pinellas 

 Peninsula and to the Florida Audubon Society 

 that the fight is going on, and it may be 

 prophesied that two years from now, when 

 the Florida Legislature goes into session, 

 they will find that Mrs. Tippetts has behind 

 her a fighting force that will in the end spell 

 victory for the birds and game still left in the 

 'Land of the Flowers.' The Association 

 pledges her its most earnest support.
