lately their eyes first beheld the world, scattering 
in every direction like a shattered globule of 
quicksilver and magically disappearing where 
there is no apparent hiding-place. 
Did they con the first lesson of safety in the 
dark chamber of the egg, or absorb it with the 
warmth of the brooding breast that gave -them 
life ? 
Listen, and out of the silence which follows 
the noisy dispersion of the family you will hear 
the low sibilant voice of the mother calling her 
children to her or cautioning them to continued 
hiding, and perhaps you may see her alertly skulk¬ 
ing among the underbrush still uttering that tender, 
persuasive cry, so faint that the chirp of a cricket 
might overbear it. 
Scatter her brood when the members are hall 
grown and almost as strong of wing as herself, 
and vou presently hear her softly calling them 
and assuring them of her continued care. 
With many other things that make you aware 
of the changing season, you note the dispersion 
of this wildwood family. Each member is now 
shifting for itself in matter of seeking food, 
safety, pleasure and comfort. 
You will come upon one in the ferny under¬ 
growth of the lowland woods where he is con¬ 
sorting with woodcock, frighten another from 
his feast on the fenceside elder-berries, scare one 
in the thick shadows of the evergreens, another 
on the sparsely wooded steep of a rocky hillside, 
and later hear the drum of a young cock 
that the soft Indian summer has fooled into 
springtime love-making, and each has the alert¬ 
ness that complete self-dependence has enforced. 
Still, you may come upon them gathered in 
social groups, yet each going his own way when 
flushed. Upon rare occasions you may surprise a 
grand convention of all the grouse of the region 
congregated on the sunny lee of a hillside. 
It is a sight and sound to remember long, 
though for the moment you forget the gun in 
your hands, when by ones, twos and dozens the 
T HE year 1015 has seen many changes in the 
game law of the various states. Legisla¬ 
tive action in this respect has been wide¬ 
spread over all the country. Not since the year 
1911 has it been necessary for those interested 
to take into consideration the fact that in forty 
states of the Union some changes have been made 
in the statutes protecting game. 
During 1915 a total of two hundred and forty 
M^re than 240 new game laws were enacted 
during 1915—a larger number than in any pre¬ 
vious year except 1911- Forty-three states held 
regular legislative sessions, and in all of these 
States except Arizona, Georgia, and Nebraska 
some changes were made in the statutes pro¬ 
tecting game. The largest number of new game 
laws passed in any one State was 61, in North 
Carolina; but in California, Connecticut, Maine, 
New Jersey Oregon Pennsylvania, and Wiscon¬ 
sin the number reached 10 or more. Several 
measures were vetoed, including a general game 
bill in Idaho, the first bill appropriating the hunt¬ 
ing-license fund in Pennsylvania, a bill pro¬ 
tecting bears in California, and three sections of 
the game bill in Washington. A n 'tuber of bills 
were introduced for the purpose of harmonizing 
the State laws on migratory birds with the Fed- 
dusky forms burst away up wind, down wind, 
across wind, signalling their departure with vol¬ 
leys of intermittent and continuous thunder. Not 
many times in your life will you see this, yet if 
but once, you will be thankful that you have not 
outlived all the world s wilderness. 
new game laws were enacted, forty-three states 
holding regular legislative sessions for this pur¬ 
pose. Of this number only the laws of Arizona, 
Georgia and Nebraska remain unchanged. North 
Carolina heads the list with the greatest number 
of new laws in any state; the legislature passing 
sixty-one new game laws while in seven other 
states the number reached ten or more. 
eral regulations. In at least nine States changes 
were made which brought the seasons into sub¬ 
stantial agreement, viz, California, Connecticut, 
Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and 
West Virginia; in Illinois the seasons for all mi¬ 
gratory birds except coot and waterfowl, and in 
Washington for the smaller shore birds, were made 
to conform with the regulations under the Fed¬ 
eral law. Uniformity was also secured by pro¬ 
visions in the laws of Connecticut, Maine, New 
Mexico, North Dakota, Washington, and Wis¬ 
consin, prohibiting hunting between sunset and 
sunrise. On the other hand. Delaware adopted a 
resolution opposing the migratory-bird law, and 1 
Ohio and Rhode Island, which has harmonized 
their seasons in 1914, changed the laws on water- 
fowl this year.
