They enter every phase of history, from the earliest written records, when the mystery of their seasonal appearance and dis- appearance, and their multitudinous forms and colors, could be ascribed only to the super-natural, down to the present day, when 1 if if , AAAA,AAy i ,,AA, A 2 i ,y IQAA . 4, is A A Q 5 , , isflviisl-12 5 iw. W ffff- fi the light of science has penetrated their secrets and revealed their true place in Nature. Man has always drawn heavily upon birds for food and cloth- ing and for adornment. Particularly is this true in Arctic regions, where a scarcity of seabirds may bring actual starvation to the natives. By furnishing an unlimited and easily-secured food supply in early colonial days, birds played a mighty part in the establishing of these United States. Finally, in the present day, with game birds nearly exterminated in many localities and greatly reduced in numbers everywhere, and with practically every species of bird far less numerous than formerly, man is beginning to recognize their value not merely as an article of food, but for the part they play in protection of the food crops of the nation. This recogni- tion comes late, and in many localities grudgingly or not at all, but the old indifference to bird life is passing with the older gen- erations of mankind. Coming generations, with the experience of their elders and the light of present-day knowledge, must see the wisdom of bird protection, if only as a financial proposition, and if education means an awakening of interest in the finer things of life, then sentiment also will demand that our bird life shall Hy fm Los Angeles Museum. be preserved. 1 19 lm 'N px .Irs 1 If if H x f nt fx 4 .Q f as Q i fl area 3- ggiifi A AA .A ,A, ll fir f f vter 3 Q5 Via r W 3 AA.A .

I 'Ghe Gift Yom heavens proud above this earth, Have you no shade but blue? Your flow'ring stars are all alike, But gold and silver hueg Your sun but one big iris flower, Your clouds are fair but pass in showerg Live there in your huge sky The hedge-rose or the Campion Or purple dragon-fly? Poor beggar sky, to you We'll send Out of our earthly store, Out of our thousand, thousand sights And then a million more, From all our shapes and colours fine, From all our unthrift beauty's mine, A crumb from all our feast, A gem from all our treasury, The lark-our best and least.
