THE WORM THE BIRD DID NOT EAT 



•wat HEN you find a worm in the fruit you are eating — don't 



* * blame the worm, nor the dealer who sold you the fruit, but 



Bsefeg5l blame the man, woman, or boy who killed the bird that 



would have eaten the worm. Men hunters, women and girl 



bird wearers, and boy shooters and collectors of eggs — all these are 



to blame for the worms in the fruit and vegetables. 



BOYS AND GUNS AND CAMERAS 



Think of the hardening, degrading effect on the boys who go 

 around shooting at birds and other animals. Think also of the 

 great danger to everybody. The children themselves are often 

 injured. Many cases of eyes partially or wholly destroyed by toy 

 guns have been reported. 



Think of the softening, uplifting effect on the boys who go 

 around with cameras taking pictures of birds and other animals. 

 They have the fun of getting the pictures. Their friends have the 

 pleasure of receiving copies of the photograph. No one is injured by 

 their sport. 



John D. Barry says : "What we want to believe, we believe on 

 the slightest excuse. Fashion gives women an excellent excuse for 

 believing that it is right to wear feathers and birds in their hats, 

 and on their backs, animal skins and furs. It will take some time 

 before they will let themselves accept their share and responsibility 

 in the barbarity."
