Bird Parks for Waynesburg
Mr. J. Warren Jacobs, the well-known
manufacturer of Purple Martin houses,
has made an offer to the people of Waynes-
burg, Pennsylvania, to make bird-sanc-
tuaries of the parks in that city if he can

have the cooperation of the authorities. If
the very reasonable conditions he asks are
complied with, he will supply at his own
expense
"The entire parks with all necessary
bird-houses, nesting-boxes, feeding devices
and drinking-fountains, and two sections
with berry-bearing and fruit-bearing
shrubbery, plants, etc., nesting-bushes
and, on the whole, make the conditions in
these two spots ideal for the birds; in

time even bringing the Bob-white to the
grounds, if a protected flock can be found
within a mile of the plot."
Another Worker
Mrs. George W. Turner, Secretary of
the Audubon Society of Buffalo, has
recently become semi- officially connected
with the National Association as field
representative.
.'Xs a lecturer on various bird-stud}' subjects
and bird-protection, she is very much
in demand in western New York, and it is
to be hoped that her activities will extend
over a far wider range of the country.
Interested persons may reach her by
addressing their communications to 12
Clarendon Place, Buffalo, New York.
An Unique Museum
William Leon Dawson has sent out a
formal statement that there has been
incorporated in Santa Barbara, California,
the "Museum of Comparative
Oology," in which not only his own collec-
tion of birds' eggs will be deposited, but
those of others from time to time. His
idea is ultimately to have a large scientific
collection of birds' eggs, which will be
available for all bird-students along the
Pacific Coast, or visiting students from
other regions.
This movement doubtless will arouse
much interest and cooperation. Among
other uses it will surely serve to give
young students an opportunity to become
acquainted with the form and appearance
of wild birds' eggs, without becoming
oological collectors.
Virginia
The Virginia Legislature is in session,
and again an effort is being made to
secure the establishment of a State Game-
Warden System. Such a measure has
been introduced and defeated at these
bi-annual sessions for several years. Suc-
cess to the faithful workers!
