: A student Of bird life, who has been
investigating the question as to the
hour in summer when the commonest
small birds wake up and begin to sing,
SAYS that the greenfinch is the earliest
riser, as it sings about 1:30 o'clock In
the morning. The blackcap begins at
2; 80 and the quail half an hour later.
It II nearly 4 o'clock, and thes un Is
well up, before the first real songster
appearsEthe merry blackbird. Then
comes the thrush, followed by the rob-
In and the wren; and last the house
sparrow and the tomtit.
Thus It will be seen that the lark's
reputation as an early riser is not Dc
served. In fact, he il very slugsard'
for he does not rise until long after
many hedgerow birds have been about
for some time.

one instance has she deviated from
her rule not to marry a person who
has been absolved from a marriage
contract by legal action. In that in
stance the ceremony had practically
commenced before Miss Starr learned
that the woman was divorced. She
hmm ediately caused the proceedings to
be postponed until she learned that
the divorce had been obtained on the
ground Of desertion, and that the wife
had been unable to secure trace Of the
husband who had wronged her. Con-
sidering that this constituted scriptural
grounds Miss Starr proceeded with
the ceremony. She believes divorce
to be a growing evil which can be
combated by clergymen refusing to
marry divorced persons.

PUNISH THE WASHER"

Magistrate Steiue-t OF New. York IS a
man who believes the despicable male
type known as "masher'' should be
suppressed. The other day BENJAMIN +.
Smith of St. Louis attempted to engage
in conversation with a woman who re-
scented his attentions by calling a po-
liceman and having him arrested. The
next day Smith was tried before Jus
tice Steinert and sent to prison for six
months, ia spite of the fact that the
woman, in the goodness of her heart.
said that she was willing 10 let him off
with a light punishment.
Smith got exactly what he deserved.
it is pity that more men of his stripe
are not similarly punished. There is
altogether too much of that sort of
thing in Salt Lake. Several prominent
corners are rendezvous for beasts in
trousers who ogle passing women and
who try by all the devices known to
such animals TO attract their attention.
Often they are bold enough to accost
women. often bold enough to persist in
spite of rebuffs.
On two or three occasions Washers
have been severely handled in Salt

severe sentences have been imposed.
but the practice has not been stopped.
This is true because Of the rarity of
prosecutions. Some men feel that they
are perfectly safe in paying odious at
Sentions to women who happen to pass
them. So few women will suffer the
prominence necessary to their attend
aHce at police court for the purpose of
prosecuting offenders. They feel that
they are disgraCcd by such a step.
And yet they should not feel 50. To
prosecute a 'masher'' is "A duty that
every woman owes To herself and To
her sisters. Every woman who prose-
cutes such a man may be sure of the
most courteous, cOnsiderate treatment
in court and in the newspapers. No
blame attaches to the woman who is
approached and who discoura ges the
attempted acquaintance. she does
