Mass.. Dec. 20. "W coukint live without them. They're a Godsend!" That Is the tribute grateful Cape Ccdders pay to their lndastrlous and public-spirited beach citizens, the sea gulls. It Is no Idle remark; they mean every word of It. The gull is an Indispensable part of Cape' Cod life, one of the cape'.i most valuable birds. Close observation proves that he Is a very remarkable bird resourceful, clever. cour&gous, artistic, affectionate and soclab.e. The gull Is even credited with a sense of humor. Their tribe has safeguarded human life for many years. They are still oii the job. faithful and active as ever. By keeping the sands clean they protect health, keep down disease asfl eljn Inate much discomfiture for Inhabitant dt the cape. They prevent wrecks In fog, assist fishermen In: making big hauls, aid farmers by removing destructive Insects. And during the world war they were Immensely 'valuable allies In that they trailed submarines and promptly betrayed the presence of nub-merged craft and perched upon drifting mines. " . rKOTKCTOKSHIP The state, recognizing their usefulness, has established a kind protectorship. t Is not only unlawful to kill gulls, a fine being Imposed for each bird killed, but it is a sacrilege.

The birds watched her solemnly a? she tolled with her rake. The woman placed a few lams in the shallow, fooi-wlde channel and left . them to be cleaned of the mud while she resumed her digging. Returning, -she discovered that every one of the clams were gone And so ere the two gulls. An old Wellfleet resident cites an Instance to prove a total lack of shyness on the part of the gull. An old ship was being dynamited. As tie fttl charge was set off, a flock of gulls on the beach ckme by Instantly roee In the air. Instead of fleeing from the scene.' they beaded directly for the ship and circled It, Industriously dipping Into the water to pick uft the ,lsh that had been blown to the sur-.a:e. I Olt.MI Mil.Y LlKillTKKCIl There was a time when the gull was slaughtered and Its feathers used to adorn milady's headgear. Their egg also --ere eaten, and the young, when salted, made a palatable winter dish But the great value of the gulli was gradually realized. They, consumed shoals of fish and other e animals .stranded, on the beaches. They continue to perform, this valuable service.
