\ ‘- \ | SURVEY DISCLOSES CHANGES IN HABITS OF MIGRATORY BIRDS Species Which Are Plentiful in One Locality Are Found to Be Scarce Elsewhere By 0. A. STEVENS So much more material came to hand that it has seemed necessary to make a second report upon our sum- mer census, Additional reports are as follows: O. A. Stevens, Park Riv- er, 55 species; Gale W. Monson, Argusville, 39 species; H. L. Chafft Amenia, 42 species; » Mapleton, 20 species. In general the frequency of the different birds re- cel tall dati de othe) ‘week, ; The and Park River lists are of particular interest because they were taken on the same day, June 14, under favorable conditi and include the numbers of individu: birds seen for each species. number of individuals is at hand for the Fargo and Mapleton lists also. ‘The writer was interested to find that at Park River he had just about the same difficulty in securing as many as 50 species as he had at Fargo. The diversity of country covered at Park River seemed much more favorable, but the 10 additional species were ob- tained chiefly by reason of a much longer time in the field and several which were expected were still miss- dng from the list. The total number of individuals Usted at Park River was 1085, half of which were included in eight species 8 follows: Clay-colored sparrow 91, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY. JUNE 22, 1931 AVERS EARS OF FUTURE WILL BE AS KEEN AS EYES ARE NOW The ears of the future probably | will be as well trained as now the eyes are, ‘in the opinion of Wil- Mam Braid White, acoustics ex- pert, and thus the world will be a far more pleasant and harmoni- ous place of residence. The sci- ence of sound today is described as “exciting,” and what is being done to aid broadasting, music reproduction, and the elimination of unnecessary noise is told by ‘White in the following article— one of a series on “Whats Going on in the World Today.” By WILLIAM BRAID WHITE (Copyright, 1931, By The Associ- ated Press) Chicago, June 22.—(7)—Fifteen years ago, acoustics, or sicence of sound, was an inactive branch of physics. A few eminent workers like Dayton C. Miller were doing fine work in it, but neither they nor any one else then could have suspected their studies would soon become the center of a roaring activity. Yet this is just what has happened. The science of sound ought not perhaps to be too quiet; and at any rate it is today quite as noisy and as exciting as any one could possibly desire. No branch of physical science is today of greater importance or is occupying the attention of a larger number of trained workers. What is the reason? Radio! Broadcasting and sound - picture making have become vast indus- tries, calling for a great and in- creasing quantity of highly- trained scientific instrument workers and a vast amount of new apparatus. Moreover, the public is becom- ing noise conscious and is taking @ genuine interest in the efforts which are being made by acoustic engineers and scientists to meas- ure noise, study its physical prop- erties and discover what elements in the daily din of our cities are actually preventable and can be eliminated. The most interesting develop- ments now being made in the sci- ence of acoustics are: 1, The great improvements be- ing accomplished in technique of broadcasting. A remarkable ex- ample is the new reflector micro- phone which can be made to fol- low accurately the movements of speakers or singers. 2. The great increase in the quantity of music reproduced by means of photo electric cells, on the films of motion pictures. 3. The systematic study of noise by the governments of cities and by research laboratories in different parts of the country for the purpose of discovering how unnecessary noise may be elimi- nated. 4. The development of new means for studying sound where- by visible representations of sound are produced and can be photographically recorded. 5. The much greater interest recently shown in the study of musical tone production along scientific lines. Today our civilization is still far more eye-keen than it is ear- keen. But sound is coming into her own and the developments lead one to hope the ears of the future will be as well trained as now the eyes are. yellow warbler 87, robin 69, goldfinch 60, red-winged blackbird 59, mourn- ing dove 56, kingbird 51, meadowlark 50. At Argusville the total was 497 and the leading species considerably different as follows: Savanna spar- row 111, bobolink 45, kingbird 30, meadowlark 30, Arkansas kingbird 24, grasshopper sparrow 24, cowbird 22, mourning dove 18, ‘The Fargo list included 589 birds with red-winged blackbird 175, mourning dove 41, cowbird 31, robin 27, meadowlark 26, savanna sparrow 21, goldfinch 20, barn swallow 20. The Mapleton list of 248 includes meadow- lark 56, red-winged blackbird 47, bronzed grackle 36, kingbird 20, Ark- ansas kingbird 17, horned lark 11, bobolink 10, mourning dove 7. It_ is interesting that in every case So few as 8 species would include half of the total. The numbers found vary considerably with the territory @overed. The Fargo route included a half-mile or more of drainage ditch where the red-winged _ blackbirds nest in numbers. None of the other lists contain any such number found in one place, 7 and 8 being the larg- est groups recorded at Park River. ‘The Argusville territory was more largely natural’meadow as shown by the many savanna sparrows and bobolinks but few robins and yellow warblers. The Fargo and Park River routes included more of river- woods and groves. Arkansas kingbirds were notably Jess common at Park River than at Fargo. The writer was unable to find either the redstart, or ovenbird at Park River though he explored carefully considerable territory of the proper type. One or more individuals of both species are found regularly at Fargo in a certain small area. On- ly 8 clay-colored sparrows were count- ed at Fargo. This seems difficult to account for unless it is as a very lo- cal condition, since they were listed en considerable numbers at Argus- ville, me Big Picnic Held by B’nai B’rith Lodges Devils Lake, N.

Details of both engagements were meager and dispatches failed to men- tion casualties, but they were believ- ed _to have been heavy. Developments in the break between the nationalist and the newly-estab- Ushed Canton government were over- shadowed by the Communist situation in southern China. President Chiang himself was proceeding south to take command of his forces in the field against the “Red” menace. Reports in- dicated he would have at least 200,- 000 troops. Red activities overflowed into Fu- kien Province, where the Commun- ists were said by refugees to be plan- ning establishment of a Soviet state. The invaders were reported to have captured virtually every town in the northern part of that province with the exception of Yenping. Telegraph and mail services have been interrupted, isolating the region. Meanwhile both the Nationalist and Canton governments fought for the support of General Chen Ming-Shu and his 7000 soldiers. Officially the southern government considered neutral, but there seemed little doubt, dispatches said, that he soon would advance upon the cty of which he once was Governor-Canton. AMERICAN MAYORS BACK FROM ABROAD Atlantan Raps Attackers Who Objected to Wet Utterances While in France New York, June 22.—(?)—Mayor James L. Key of Atlanta, Ga, re- turning today with 18 other mayors from @ month's goodwill tour of France, characterized as “hair- brained nitwits” some of his oppo- nents at home who have criticized his utterances on prohibition and started a move for his recall. “They are trying,” he said, “to lift themselves out of the obscurity in which they belong.” “Prohibition is corrupting the United States from top to bottom,” he added. Mayor John Porter of Los Angeles, whose refusal to drink champagne while in France caused almost as much comment as Mayor Key's anti- prohibition remarks, observed that “if the French people want to drink, that’s their business, and if I don’t that’s my business.” Most of the other mayors had little to say beyond a formal statement of gratitude to their host, the French government. Mayor Daniel W. Hoan of Mil- waukee sald he thought the beer in France was excellent but not so good as the beer that used to be made in Milwaukee, and Judge Frank M. Pad- den, representing the city of Chicago, remarked that he'd seen less drunk- enness in France than in the United States, Negro Pleads Guilty To Assault Charges Sentence was deferred in district court Saturday in the case of Tom Harvey, local negro, who pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Harvey was charged with wounding another negro in a fight at a South Side residence a few weeks ago. Judge Fred Jansonius deferred sen- tence so that an investigation of Harvey's physical condition might be made. He is said to be in need of medical attention, RELIGIOUS SERVICES OCCUPY DELEGATES Visitors to State Sunday School Meet at Dickinson Attend Model Classes Dickinson, N. D., June 22.—(P)\— Religious services occupied delegates to the 39th state Sunday school con- vention at the closing session Sunday. Model Sunday school classes were held for children up to 15 years old, with classes conducted for beginners, juniors and a high school section. Mrs. G. A. McGregor of Fargo con- ducted the primary class. Adults attended Sunday morning church services which were in charge: of Dickinson ministers with a union choir directed by Mrs. C. L. Wood- ward and a sermon by Dr. Harry C. Munro of Chicago. A children’s chorus from the Slope counties Sunday schools with about 1,000 children participating sang at afternoon services. The Dickinson city band gave a concert on the campus of the state teachers college in the evening. Church choirs from Beach, Hebron, Hettinger, Beulah, Zap, Kildeer, Dunn Center, Halliday, and Dickin- son, in charge of Mrs. C. L. Wood- ward of Dickinson, brought the con- vention to a close with a program of music. Dr. C. L. Clifford of Helena, Mont., addressed the group. PROBE DEATHS OF GIRLS BY POISON Find Capsules Containing White ; Powder in Lunch Box; Analysis Being Made Lebanon, Ind., June 22.—(?)—The deaths of two young girls after eating chicken sandwiches their mother said she prepared for a family reunion yesterday, were investigated by authorities of two Indiana counties today. Attending physicians said they believed the girls were victims of poison, Coroner G. A. Owsley of Boone county awaited a report on an analy- sis of white powder contained in capsules found in the sandwiches, The dead are Alice Jean Simmons, 10, and Virginia Simmons, 14, daugh- ters of John W. Simmons, 48, Han- cock county farmer. : Simmons was affected slightly, while Horace N. Jackson, 55, and his stepson, Lester Carr, 18, also of Han- cock county, were in a critical con- dition early today. Mrs. Simmons told Coroner Owsley she prepared the sandwiches at their home near Greenfield, and that they were placed in a box and carried to Lebanon in the family automobile, The capsules were discovered when guests at the reunion helped them- Selves to the food. The coroner said the only op- portunities for capsules to be placed in the sandwiches were when the sandwiches were made, or when the family left their automobile for an hour outside the home of Isaac Pol- lard, @ relative here. Name Receiver for Fargo Institution Fargo, N. D., June 22.—(#)—H. F. Emery, Fargo, has been appointed re- ceiver for the Fargo college and the Fargo college endowment fund cor- poration.

Decision having been reached that it is impossible to reopen the college, creditors entered into a friendly agreement and legal action for ap- pointment of a receiver. Judge Englert empowered Emery to sell all property, buildings and other assets of the college and specified the fay, of the claims against the col- lege. Attorneys said assets are sufficient to guarantee payment of all debts. district court Saturday at a hearing | Teacher Gives Life To Save Her Pupil Lenoir, N. &., June 22—(P)—Miss Lillian Arhelgar, 21, of Fredericks- burg, Tex., school teacher, has given her life to save @ pupil's. A little girl on a vacation camp outing slipped on the brink of a cliff at Glen Bernie Falls. Miss Arhelgar tried to pull the child back and both went over the brivk. The teacher pushed the child so she fell into sand and was ‘not hurt. Miss Arhelgar struck on jagged rocks on the face of the 60-foot cliff.
