LAST week 1912 barrels of beer, worth
about So, 200, were emptied into the
Hudson river by Mrs. Josephine Schmidt,
proprietress of the Schmidt brewery.
This was done because she had gained
control of the Conrad Stein brewry and
would not sell anything but her own
brew. Roughly estimated, there were
something over 3 100000 glasses of beer
turned into the Hudson. It's dollars to
doughnuts that Henry Hudson and his
Dutch ex ploring party groaned in spirit.

"Ain't Coin to Be No Gore -

There are some people who aver that the

series OF "-less" inventions and discoveries
which have been markedly in evidence dur
ing the past few years. The horseless car
riage. wireless telegraph, styleless books
and plotless plays have come into notice,
and the pomologists. feeling distanced

work to circumvent nature and smash ira

of progress in the experiment will in a

1t is claimed by some that the navel

that 1t Is difficult to find oranges with

though nature. chagrined at the assault

Feed the Birds.

All persons blessed with the least ac-
quaintance with the habits of the birds are
aware that when snow persstently covers
the ground in this latitude the denzens of
the air are hard pressed for food. In the
more nCrtherly regions many of the birds
migrate southwark annually upon the COM
ing of the snow, while some varieties of
birds come down from the arctic stretches
to the upper boundaries of the United
States. Around Washington there is a
very general disposition among most of the
winter, for they can usually find enough
food throughout the season to maintain
life. This winter the conditions are eXcep-
tlonally severe on them. The ground has
been covered with snow so steadily that
there is imminent danger of the death of
thousands of the little creatures before
Spring unless the people come to their aid
Systematically.
In another column of The Star today is
printed letter from Mr.. Henry Odys
chairman of the executive committee of the
Audubon Society for the District of Column
bia. Offering practical suggestions as to the
best means for the feeding of the birds In
winter and pointing out the danger that
unless this is done on large scale each
citizen doing his small share, the bird pop
ulation of the District and the surrounding
notes the names OF several of the varieties
to be found here throughout the winter and
calls attention to the pleasure that may be

derived from their feeding. A very little
will 70 O long way with the feathered fox.
They can subsist beautifully upon the Ia
Bile refuse. daily scattering Of bread,
grains, potatoes and fat meat scraps win
soon attract numbers Of birds from long
distances. for the news of a chance to feed
spreads rapidly in mysterious ways.
There can be no more enjoyable spectacle
than the assemblage of dozens Of birds to
receive their aims in winter. Not only is
the eye delighted with their colors-though
dulled by nature to suit the season-but the
heart is warmed by their evident gratitude
for the feast spread for them. Further
more. the good Samaritan who thus feeds
the starving creatures knows that he Is
preserving them for their good work of the
spring. when they fill the air with song and
build their nests and prepare for the rails
ing of broods of little ones. Every bird
life saved this winter means much for the
'attractiveness of the parks of Washington
next year.
Too many people are apt to disregard this
warning because they think of birds only in
terms of the sparrows. These imported
birds are chiefly in evidence now, and I'M
less wholesale measures are adopted for
the feeding of all kinds of birds the spar
rows will be even more numerous in pro-
portion next season. For they are the
hardest of the smaller birds, and will sur
vive conditions that kill off other kinds.
So II there is any love for other birds than
the sparrows these daily spreads of food
should be undertaken at once. And even
the sparrows. some people think. have a
right to live.
