LAKE COUNTY 15 PARADISE FOR 10 IDS DF BIRDS

That Lake county Is a bird's paradise and that there are probably more different varieties of birds in this locality thany any other place in the middle west Is shown by the researches of a number of high school students who have been ("pending much of their time In looking for the species of the feathered tribe. It Is a matter of great surprise even to the professors In the high school that there are so many different birds In this locality. Some time ago Prof. McElroy of Hammond interested the students In the school In the subject of birds. He asked the students to go out and see how many different kinds of birds they could find. The results were astonishing. Rolland Fox has the record. With a field glass he has been able to see 117 different kinds of birds. A New Paatlme. From day to day the students have reported their finds until now the list has reached surprising proportions. It is rapidly becoming a pastime for the boys and girls to go out and look for birds. This study has resulted in the development of a surprising Interest In the subject and naturally when the boys find a foreigner from the Standard Steel Car district out shooting robins with a shotgun they are Incensed. It is expected that the study of birds will result in measures being taken for their protection. The following are the names of some, of the boys and girls who have been carrying on these researches and the results of their activities. The numbers indicate the number of birds the observer has seen: Rolland Fox, 117; Joe Ibach. 115; Harry Jones, 110; Walter Kennedy, 106; John Rhind, 102; Ernest Turner, 102; Ben Yalowitz. 98; Hazel Davis, 92; Pearl Du Frain, 92. The fact that Lake county combines both sandy and clay land, that there are both woods and meadow, highlands, lowlands and marshlands is believed to be responsible for the larg number of different birds observed.

Hammond Is one of the best localities in Indiana for bird study. One hundred and thirty birds have already been seen In this region this spring and the test will run to about 150 before the close of school. ' The kind, of birds found varies greatly. Besides the more familiar game birds, this Is especially good territory for the sparrows and warblers Some of our most beautiful birds belong to the sparrow family, among them the godlpinch or wild canary adn the Indigo bird. The warbler family is present In large numbers. Twenty-three species have been seen this spring. Each of the sixty students taking zoology has seen at least fifty different species' of birds in the field. Most of them haveee lists running above eighty, while several have seen over a hundred. Sixts' different kinds of birds have been seen on one morning's trip, while a list of forty Is not uncommon for a morning's work. Glendale, Schrumm's woods and the thickets below the C, C. & 1 tracICs are the localities most frequented by birds, although Harrison Park Is visited by many, especially the warblers. Among the rare birds seen are the cardinal or red bird. This has never been reported before from Lake county. The golden winged and Tennessee warblers have also been found and the very rare klrtland's warbler and yellow headed black bird have been reported, but their presence was not confirmed. The scarlet tanager, Baltimore oriole and Amelrcan redstart are the most brilliantly colored birds of the region. They have been seen even In the downtown part of the city. The thrasher and catbird are the best singers. Colts Want Game. The Zimmerman Colts would like to arrange a game with any amateur team for Decoration day, to be played at the West Hammond grounds.

It not only is less trouble than coal, but it costs less. Absolutely no smell, no smoke ; and it doesn't heat the kitchen. The nickel finish, with the turquoise blue of the enameled chimneys, makes the stove ornamental and attractive.
