According to the Washington Star n
pOstotice official who has been in the
Philippines says he learned there a
new method of keeping birds out of
fruit trees, which he described as fol-
lows:
1T is simple, inexpensive and, as
far as l could observe, practical. 1t
consists in hanging a small mirror on
the top limbs of the tree. There
should be at least six inches Of string
to the mirror, so that it can swing
about as it is blown by the wind. The
flash of the mirror, it appears, scares
the birds away. One or two 5-cent
mirrors hung on a tree is sufficient,
though, of course, three or four would
be that much better. / was told that
this method had worked in the Phil
ippines successfully for many years,
and that the birds do not grow famil-
lar with it as they do with a scare
crow. Since my return here l find
that the mirror scare is not unknown
here, and that it has been in use by
Michigan fruit growers for many
years. / have tried it myself in q
small way and 1t is amusing what a
stir it creates among the BIRDS

only in subdued tones.
Beyond a screen partition is the

end Of the. corridor is the entrance to
the Conservatives. On the left is the
state dining room, lately remodeled,
where the decorations are in yellow:
and harmonize with the lavishly-gild-
ed table ornaments.
The eastern portion Of the upper
floor is devoted to the executive Of
fees. The end Of the central corridor
forms the lobby, to the left OF which
are the telegraph room and a larger
apartment where the routine work is
carried on. The small room in the
southeast corner is used by the Presi-
dents private secretary, while the
large room adjoining is the office Of
the President. Adjoining the Presi-
dents Office is the room where cabi-
net meetings are held, handsomely
frescoed and furnished, and contain

The family Of President Roosevelt
Is the largest that has ever occupied
the White House at Washington. As
the house has only five bedrooms the
Roosevelts with their six children and
several servants are said to be suffer
ing great Inconvenience.
How these people are going to be
accommodated in a house which only
contains five bedrooms, a sitting room,
. dining room and a parlor, is one Of
the mysteries which confront Colonel
Theodore Bingham, q. S. A.
He. by the way, also acts as master
Of ceremonies at the Presidents pub
lie receptions.
The White House IVES the first pub
lie building erected in Washington,
and its first cost was paid by the states
Of Maryland and Virginia. President
Washington selected the site.
A prize Of $500 for the design was
awarded to a young Irish architect
named James Hoban, who modelled his
design after the castle Of the duke Of
Leinster, nea Dublin.
The orner stone was laid on Oct
10, 1892, and although the mansion
was not completed. President John
Adams and his family took possession
In 1900.
In 1914 during the British invasion
the White House was a'mcst Quilted
by fire and was only saved from total
destruction by a thunder storm.
The work Of restoration was not
completed until 1918. The building
IL 40 feet long by SO feet wide. and
the private g ounds contain 20 acres.
II consists of a rustic basement, two
stories and an attic.
Having the peculiar character stics
of a public office, which is at the same
time the home Of a private family. the
wear and tear upon its household be-
longings are almost incredible, and
each year has brought some material
change in the decorations. The gov
ernmeDt has spent nearly 50, 500, 900 in
repairs on the building.
At the present time the first of the
state apartments is the east room
the nations parlor-which is decorat-
ed in white and gold. Full length por-
traits Of President and Mrs. Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln occupy the
panels along the east side. and eight
large mirrors, with three chandeliers
OF cut glass, add greatly to the mag
nihcence of the room, From the east
room a wide corridor leads into this
state p%arlors.
The FIRST Of these, called the green
room, is used as a music room, and is
furnished tastefully in pale green
plush. Next the green room is the
blue room, an elliptical room in the
center Of the suite. The blue room
is the official audience room, where
the President receives. foreign minis
ters on their presentation Of creden-
tials, and other distinguished guests;
and on such occasions, at public recep-
ton and often at less formal gather
ings, the presidential party stands In
line at the upper end of the room.
West OF the blue room Is the red
room, which, being the family drawing
room, seems more home-like than the
other parlors, with its lowering plants

Come From Asia.
DR.. Frank Russell. who IS In charge
Of the chair Of anthrOpOlogy at Har-
ward, was interviewed by n reporter
on his arrival I'm Denver TO attend the
meetings Of the Association for the
Advancement Of Science. and an
nounced that he has discovered re-
Gently ia Arizona and southwestern
Colorado 100 ruins of the elf dwellers
which had not been previously trodden
by the feet Of modern Investigators.
He says he located them in almost in
accessible places. which required un-
usual efforts of brain and physical en-
durance. To reach one of the most
valuable it wns necessary to lower his
wife and wagon down the side Of a
precipice for $50 feet by means Of
block and tackle. and slide the mules
down the side Of the mountain.
Or. Russell travelled 200 miles by
wagon and 800 miles horseback, max
ing headquarters at Tucson, since last
March. The trip was conceived for
the purpose Of making a thorough
reconnaissance Of the entire South
west for the bureau Of ethnOlOgy Of the
United States government. It includ-
ed the pueblo mounds Of Arizona and
southeastern Utah and the dwellings
Of San Juan county, I'm this state. He
reports that some of the newly discov-
cred ruins are OF Importance, while
many are too small and ~valueless to re-
pay further investigation. One of the
results Of the Investigations IS DIR.
Russelfs conclusion that the theory Of
the cliff jewellers having originally
come upon North American soil via
Behring straits from Asia is erroneous.
DR.. Russell believes that the cliff
jewellers were natives, and that the
progress Of their evolution was from
the south to the north, and that they
were separate tribes with constant
tendencies toward civilization instead
Of retrogression, similar to the evOlu-
ton Of the Algonquin and other east
ern Indian tribes.
There is nothing whatever" said
DR.. Russell, ION which to base the the
Ory that any of the cliff dwellers had
an Asiatic origin. They had no Asiat-
ic customs. That idea is a revival of
antiquated theories, based on dead
data

welt. Not all Of their conversation
was official, but on the contrary there
is authority for saying that tho two
distinguished men had a little heart to
heart talk regarding the changes
which 1--WE years have wrought in their
careers. Five years ago President
Roosevelt was out Of business, both
as civil service commissioner and as a
member Of the police board Of New
York.
Leonard Wood was then only an as
sistant surgeon in the regular army
with the rank Of captain. The ad-
vent Of the Mckinley administration
worked wonders for both men. DR..
Wood was selected as the presidents
physician, and this gave him a promi-
nence he might not have secured after
years Of faithful service in an obscure
position. Theodore Roosevelt, after
considerable of a campaign, was APP
pointed assistant secretary of the
navy. When the war broke out Roose-
welt himself conceived the idea of or
ganizing a Rough RiSsr ent, but
chose Wood es the colonel instead of
taking the place himself.
Today Wood is a brigadier general
in the regular army and governor gem
eral Of Cuba. He is so young that in
the ordinary course he is destined to
become lieutenant general in command
OF the army of the United States. His
former lieutenant colonel is now presi-
dent Of the United States, and it was
perfectly natural that the two men
should put in a little time in
solemn contemplation Of the swift
ness with which Providence works at
times.

hope to win by reason of republican
over confidence or indifference. They
are making quiet canvass over the
state in hope of getting county here

lature, and thus getting the two Unit

and National Questions.

The inclination Of democrats to avoid
the discussion of national issues this
year means o great deal.
National politics always enters, at
least indirectly, into every election, for
the support of party locally is a
strength to that party for succeeding
contests which may be national. If
you tear down party in an off year
that party is not in position to rally
and put up as strong fight the next
year when a congressman or a presi-
dent is to be elected. But this year
national politics directly enters into
Iowa politics by the necessary choice
by the legislature, which we choos e
now, of both our United States sena-
tors. 1t follows that the plain desire
of the democracy of Iowa to omit the
discussion of national politics is an ac-
acknowledgements that they consider their
positions on national questions unten-
eble and the republican positions i'm
pregnable. This condition is evident
today more than for generation be-
fore. Democracy cannot assail repub-
licanism on the financial question, on
the tariff question, on the question of
its dealing with our outlying posses
sions, or on any of the great subjects
under consideration. Upon these mat
tiers the action of our lamented and fall
len leader and of his advisers and Of
our present chief executive, has been
so conservative, so statesmanlike and
so wise that patriotic people do not
wish to disturb the country by opposing
the party in authority.
Democratic leaders are wise enough
to realize this condition, hence candi-
date Phillips and his friends are not
raising their voices in support of their
own platform of principles.
