P. Staff Correspondent.) The motor lorry and the railroad are in the first phases of a life and death struggle for existence as the predomin ant means of transportation in Eng land. The odds arc in the former's favor, t The next few decades, perhaps the next decade, will determine whether England's internal commerce Is to move largely by means of an elastic, all-encompassing motor transport sys tem, or stick to the present railway system, connecting the larger distri buting points. Transportation men in both camps admit that the fight is on. The issue really dates back to the big railway strike in 1919 when the Food Ministry webbed the entire Island with an elab orate motor transport system which worked far In excess of expectations. That demonstration showed not only that a new 'method of transportation was possible but that on account of the peculiar topographical layout of Eng-j land, the new system might be even ' better adapted to the needs of the Is land than railways. Motor advocates Immediately got Dusy on the development of a. perman ent system, first as auxiliary to the railways and later to enter Into open competition, with the hope of shoving them into the background. There are many local conditions in England which make the island a par ticularly favorable test field for mo tor transport. . .England is small. She has the finest road system in Europe. The average haul is short. Most shipments are In small lots, which accounts for the tiny freight cars in use in the railroads. The large American box-cars would not pay because they would generally travel half-filled. Controlling the world's greatest petroleum fields, Brit ain would be in a better position to supply her lories with fuel than any other European country. It is upon these facts that the motor people predicate their predictions that the lorry will eventually shove the box. car onto the sidetrack. A third means of freight transport is also looming up in the form of canals. Next to Holland, England has the fin cst canal system In Europe. It already connects many of her largest cities and Is capable of extension. ' Water always has been and still Is by far the cheap est mode of freight conveyance and England's canals could afford com merce an- opportunity-not to b Ignore ed. Since the war certain big interests have become aroused to this possibility and important improvements are al ready In progress along the extstant canal system. It will be extended and exploited In the future as a, "third arm of transport. , Aviation doubtless will take1 over much of the passenger traffic between extremities of the island, such as Lon don to Glasgow or Edinburgh, or Bel fast and Dublin, but for the moat part England la too small to offer very great possibilities for the aeroplane aa an agent of interior communication in the immediate future, at any rate. ' England's place In aviation, accord ing to experts, will be rather as an In ternational air Junction, where line from all parts of Europe may con verge. In this, of course, she will encounter the active competition of France, who has the advantage of more central location. The French air companies have the further head start of a gen erous governmental subsidy. This latter has already enabled the French cross-channel air lines to put the British out of business in a rate war. When the Frenchmen recently pulled rates down to six pounds one nay (less than 824) the Handley-Page and British Air company gave up in despair and trundled their machines tack into their eheds. No English line lit now carrying passengers by air.

Birds winging their way northward this spring will find 175,000 new house built for them during the past year by boya and glrla who are mem ber of the (5,000 Junior Audubon Club scattered over the -entire United States and part of Canada, These youths are among the 1,600,000 mem bers of (Tie 'organization planted in klndergardens, grammar schools and an cng group of ypupg American by the National Audubon Society, Each club member after paying ten cents as an initiation fee, start ac quiring knowledge of the appearance and habits of both songster and tho Unmusical type of bird. Through picture .books and .hikes to woodland cpots they learn to distinguish one kind of bird from another by the kind Of feathery clothe they wear, and how also to tell them by their eggs, their nests, and sometimes by their chirp. " The migratory habits and the sing ing Qualities or lack of them in each steclra from other phases of instruc tion. Game law of state and of the nation are explained, but none of the teachers on lectures sent out by the national organization ever says to lit tle Willie "You must not kill the pret ty birdies." Officials at the organisa tion's headquarters here declare they nre striving to conserve bird life not by having more stringent laws passed against hunters, but to use them In teals for murksmanshlp with sling shots, air-guns or light rifles. Caroless hunters have found the club members uncomfortably observant of those who they suspect are bagging more than the limit or shooting out of season. Recently the Association re ceived a letter from a sportman say ing there were "four hundred young volunteer game wardens" in his city exerting a restraining Influence upon tricky hunters. j omA row csMtn ations" i i mi, &wmm i A Pr ail aWat COMPOUND COPAIBA and CUBEM AT .YOUR DRUGGIST A r RNMg.Onjr.aM tubXIMUaJ 3 v """SUCCESS HAVE BEEN LOCATED BUTTE, April, 6.
