RATLIFF LISTS 136 DIFFERENT SPECIES SEEN NEAR RICHMOND DURING LAST YEAR

Haunts and habits of birds has be-! conje ' a scientific study with Walter Ratliff. During the past year, 136 different kinds of bird specie have been seen in this locality by the fancier. His twenty-second annual report to United States department of agriculture has just been completed for 1920. This report gives the earliest date the birds were seen here, number teen, when next seen, when they be came common, whether they are common or rare here, and remarks rejrarding each by Mr. Ratliff. This report i3 prepared each year by Mr. Ratliff for the bureau of biological survey. He has been doing the work for sevefal years and is now considered one of the authorities in this part of the country on birdlore. He has accepted an invitation to speak before the students of Shortridge high school in Indianapolis next Tuesday. Has Bird Collection. In his home he has a collection of mounted birds that is considered one of the best in Indiana, being made up of birds common and rare that have been found near Richmond. Some of the interesting features of the report were the facts that certain birds are becoming rare irtvthis section that formerly were found here in abundance. Many are also coming later than usual. From three days to half a month generally elapse from the time the first bird is seen until they become common. Two or three generally announce the near approach of the flock, it is said. Why Birds Migrate. A copy of this report is sent to Indianapolis and from there to Washington so as the migration of the birds from one part of the country to another can be studied. Most of the birds

go south for the winter months and the

severity of the weather determines what portion of the birds remain here. A large portion of the birds go to

the Gulf of Mexico and Central America. . The birds from the Arctic regions and northern Canada coming to this section of the country, because food cannot be found in the Arctic regions during the winter months. Comparing the annual reports sent to Washington it shows that some birds travel as far as 10,000 to 12,000 miles, this being the case of gulls and other water birds. Some Are Decreasing. Common birds are found in a territory reaching from Central America to Alaska. These birds are in common the robin, bluebird, blue jay, flicker, blackbird, crow, and several species of sparrows, a great assortment of wild ducks, many hawks and owls. From a study in Indiana the birds that are decreasing are the passenger or wild pigeon. It is said that the last specie of this type of bird died in Cincinnati several years ago. Other birds fast decreasing are the common quail.

crow, purple martin, and some of the field sparrows, and the eave swallow. The birds that are increasing are the robin, meadow lark, bob-o-link, English sparrow in same localities, crow in some localities, wren, rosebreasted grosbeak and great families of warblers and vireos. The viruos are a specie that have been hard to study and are now becoming better known as the larger timbers are being cut away, as this is the home of this bird. This reason makes the bird come down to the lower woods and nearer to mankind. Beneficial and injurious specie of birds have been studied by the government and the state officials, and it is found that only three species are injurious, all of the other specie are found to be of some benefit. The three birds that are classed as being injurious to mankind are the bob-o-link or rice bird, northern shirks and the hawk.

GUY BATES POST Guy Bates Post has fairly enthnUled theater-goers through the power of his wonderful artistry as disclosed in

his latest starring vehicle, "The Mas-i

querader," which is attracting capacity audiences wherever presented. Playing the double role, John Chilcote, M. P., and John Loder. a young scribbler, Vast presents two remarkable impersonations. The one is that of a haughty member of parliament, whose senses have been befuddled by the continuous use of drugs, the other is a clean-cut Canadian who is his physical double and who takes the place of Chilcote in his worldly affairs in order that the weakling may devote himself to drugs. Both roles, entirely dissimilar, place a heavy burden on Mr. Post who presents a striking pair of portraits. In fact, it is the most remarkable work of its type that the English speaking staee has ever seen.

"The Masquerader" was written by
