, THEOSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1929 FARLUNENT WILL "HAVE DETAILS ON BEAUIHARNDIS PLAN Premier Gives Promise in Debate on Disposal of Natural Resources : By Canadian Press) Ottawa, Mor. 6.--A demand that the Government take Parliament into its confidence with respect to the Beauharnois power application, and an' assurance that Parliament will be advised first of any deci- sion arrived at in this important _ matter, featured further lengthy discussion of natural resources in the House of Commons yesterday. The demand that parliament be ad- vised of the Beauharnois situation dame from - Hon. H. H, Stevens (Cons. member for Vancouver Centre). The entire afternoon and even- fug was levoted to discussion of the fiatural resources question, and it was still under consideration when the House rose at eleven o'clock. Consequently, debate on the budg- et is still further postponed. The Woodsworth resolution on natural resources, has precedence until disposed of and there is no pres- ent indicatton when that will be. It carries with it frequent refer- ence to the Seven Sisters Falls lease and the Beauharnois power project. Positive Statement The Prime Minister made the positive statement that if it was found that the Beauharnois scheme conflicted with the St. Lawrence waterways project, it would not be approved. Further reference to the Beau- 'harnois project came during a speech of C. H. Cahan (Conserva- tive, St. Lawrence-St. George), who expressed the view that pow- er rights are vested in the prov- inces and control of navigation in the Federal Government, COUNCILLOR FINED ON LIQUOR CHARGE Sault Ste.

Emmet Smith, of Halleybury, who picked up three Hamiltonians to form a rink, was finally knock- ed out of the Spectator trophy yes- terday, but he won the first game in the third commpetition, the P. H. Hamilton trophy. Last night Dick Ross of Saskat- chewan won his way into the semi- finals of the Premier trophy when he defeated Ross Harstone of Ham- ilton Thistles by 13 to 11. The game was hard fought all the way, with Harstone giving Ross his best game of the entire bomsplel by playing the same kind of a game as the western rink. TOY PISTOLS BANNED BY CHINESE LAW Shanghai, China, March 6.--Be- cause bandits in interior China use them to rob and terrorize the coun- try folk who do not know that they are only toys, the Nationalist Gov- ernment has issued a regulation forbidding the importation into China of toy-pistols and air guns. "Such toys, while not regarded as harmful and are imported only as playthings for children," expla- ing the order, "are known to have been frequently used in the inter- ior of China by bandits and gangs of riff-raff to terrorize the ignor- ant country folk. For this reason, { hereafter importation of toy pistols and air-guns either by Chinese or foreign firms will not be permitt- ed."

WILL POISON INSECTS ~ ON A LARGE SCALE Toronto, Ont., Mar. 6.--Six thou- sand dollars' worth of insect pow- der will be dusted over the Lake St. Joseph country during next May, in the hope of preventing a repitition of the damage done last year to timber in this Muskoka area by the hemlock looper and the spruce bud worm, This action incidentally spells doom for the participation by a pro- vincial air force machine in the great Indian treaty flight which commissioners of the<Dominion and Ontario government will make this summer. The D.

Mr. Beebe gives some sound ad- vice to budding ornithologists. To- day, here, in the midst of our so- called civilization, more than five thousand months after Columbus landed, what can we do with the birds around us that every Isn't nature wonderful person is not do- ing? Bird books and keys we must have for we must know their names. But what then? The in- stinctive thing is a list of the birds of some locality, but except in the uttermost parts of the earth, this has been already done again and again. So there is little excitement in an ordinary enumeration of the birds of your suburban vicinity, But now comes the fun. Briag to bear all your Holmes-Lupin- Cleek imagination and devise some unusual method of observation. If vou insist on lists for lists' sake, at least leaven the linear results with some unusual point of view. The fact that English sparrows, stars lings, crows, robins, grackles and swallows are the most abundant birds seen on most of your tramps. although uninteresting knowledge to the half of one per cent. (Who dislike and are terrified by birds), and wholly unknown to the ninety four and a half per cent. (for whom birdsoccupy an optical fourth di- mension), is rather bromidic to the glorious remaining five per cent. of us, whose lives on earth are brightened by a conscious aware- ness of bird life, whether it be cas- ual interest or consuming enthusse asm, One way to alchemize this effect is to preface the fact with the short but often embarrassing ad- verb, Why? In this instance it spells trouble, for it sends us headlong to libraries and museums, to look up the sarli- ost records and lists of birds.

A friend re- cently brought her twenty-eight pitchers from abroad and Mrs. Spain received thirty-seven Christ- mas gifts. There are pitchers fof every state except Vermont and from every foreign country. Some are ageless heirlooms and a few were patented less than a year ago.

Not only are there four robi=s within this domain, but these birds hold very definite positions and exert distinct Influences. Take colour for example, and grade it from the extreme of dullness to that of bril- llaney in a scale of one to ten--a song sparrow at one end and a male scarlet tanager at the other. With this in mind your census list he comes a pallid effect, and the most important thing is the new idea of a temporary neglect of names, sub- stituting a thought of the birds as bits of pigment. Then do the same thing with sound, and with sub- divisions of sound--which species ranks a; ten in regard to loudness or pp 'Vency or sweetgess of tone?

When the living stream of birds dwindles away, if one's wonder turns to moon mountains or to planets and nebulae, then has orni- thology given place to a very worthy substitute.
