The cutting of the forests and the drain¬ 
ing of swamps and lakes has had much to 
do with the disappearance of the wood 
duck, but a greater factor still has been the 
incessant gun fire to which the species has 
been subjected. 
Shore birds have suffered even more 
than wild fowl in this country. Their 
habit of feeding and flying in compact 
flocks, together with their custom of com¬ 
ing readily to decoys, renders their killing 
easy for the gunner. Another influence 
which operates greatly to their advantage 
is the fact that their feeding areas are re¬ 
stricted and are usually quite accessible 
to the enterprising hunter. When shot 
into, a flock of these birds will not leave 
the neighborhood, as ducks often do, but 
will invariably return again and again to 
the whistling call of the gunner. 
The beaches just north of Cape Hatteras 
are a region much frequented by shore 
birds during the periods of the fall and 
spring migrations. Almost any day in the 
early part of May as many as ten thousand 
may be seen singly or in flocks. They 
whir along the coast between the surf and 
the sand dunes or, lighting, run back and 
forth along the shelving beach to capture 
the minute forms of animal life brought 
to light by each incoming wave. Hidden 
among the dunes or squatting behind the 
scattered bunches of wild sea oats the gun¬ 
ners make sad havoc of these little haunt¬ 
ers of the beach. In this region sometimes 
as many as a hundred birds are taken in an 
hour. This is only a sample of what goes 
on at practically every favorite place along 
the coast wherever the plover, yellow legs, 
surf birds and beach snipe are wont to as¬ 
semble. And every season the gatherings 
on these ancestral feeding grounds grow 
less. 
For a hundred years and more there 
have been men who have spoken words of 
warning against the incessant killing of 
migratory game birds, and for over a 
hundred years bills have been presented 
and laws enacted for the avowed purpose 
of bird protection. The past twenty years 
these statutes have greatly increased in 
number, until now in every State in the 
Union there is a long list of repressive 
measures on the subject. They deal with 
such subjects as night shooting and the 
number of birds which may be legally shot 
in a day. They prescribe methods by 
which fowl may be taken. Sometimes they 
prohibit locally the sale of the bodies of 
the slain. Some States prohibit shooting 
in the spring or in the early fall, or from 
motor boats or on certain days of the 
week. There is, in fact, an endless variety 
of game laws, and in no two States are 
they the same. 
Many attempts have been made to secure 
uniformity of bird protective laws in even 
a few States adjacent to each other, but 
such attempts have usually been absolute 
failures. Without uniformity, especially 
in the matter of close seasons for hunting,

Artistic Bungalow Colors 
A bungalow must be stained—paint takes it 
out of the bungalow class at once. The soft, 
rich colors of 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
harmonize perfectly with the bungalow at¬ 
mosphere. and complete the artistic, home¬ 
like quality that is making the bungalow the 
ideal country and suburban residence. Stain 
them all over, roof and sides. It costs only 
half as much as paint, is easier to apply, and 
the Creosote thoroughly preserves the wood 
from decay. 
You can oet Cabot’s Stains all over the country.
