son and LOudenslager bills providing
for a reorganization of the navy de-
partment, and also his views on navy

pending in the committee.
Mr.. Newberry Informed the commit

made in the department itself toward
consolidating applications of work
which hitherto have contributed to the
partment. He indicated that the de-
partment had every reason TO eXpeci
greater efficiency and economy in the
future along these lines and satisfied
the committee that good work Is being
done.

WISE, TIMELY ACTION

HNHE directors of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce reflected
u public sentiment with great ac-
curacy when they adopted a recon-
mendation that the present military
reservation at San Pedro be retained
for barracks and officers quarters, and
its water front developed for naval
submarine mines and other purposes,
in connection with Notifications; and
recommended, further, the acquire
ment of additional land for battery
sites. The chamber of commerce in
taking up this matter promptly has
rendered a valuable service to the pub
lie. In view of the future develop
ment of San Pedro 1t is all-important
that land and water frontage should
be reserved for the purposes of ma
tional safety. Over and over again the
Southern Pacific railroad has tried to
get possession of frontage overlooking
San Pedro harbor.
Private or corporation ownership of
strategic points is not advisable. 1t
would put the war department at a
disadvantage. In view of the increas-
ing Importance of the Pacific coast
and of the necessity for placing its
security beyond question, it will doubt
less be the policy of the government to
carry out the wishes of the majority
of the citizens, and fortify every point
where, in the opinion of those most in
terested, namely the commercial bodies
of California, fertilization or other de-
fense or precaution may be deemed
necessary. The action of the chamber
of commerce was wise, timely and
patriotic.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
THE BUTTER TRUST

nIJTTER has been regarded as a ne
X cessity of life ever since human
~ society was organized. 1t is mem
toned approvingly in one of the Oldest
books of the Old Testament, in Whlch
it is stated that a certain unscrupulous
dame who had homicidal designs upon
a warrior drought him butter in
lordly dish" If there had been trust
she would have had to carry the butter
on a cabbage leaf. She would not nave
been able to afford lordly dish. All
the lordly dishes would have been
owned by the members of the trust.
Human society has certainly retro
crossed in one respect. If in the days
of old a baron had corralled all the
cattle and had established a beef trust
and a milk trust and a butter trust
his neighbors would have put an enc
to the trusts in short order by chop
ping off the head of the head of them
BY the way, that is what the butter
purveying woman in the Bible did to
her customer. Nowadays the butter
purveyors cannot go to that length
Determination of their customers would
put an end to the trade. So, instead OF
subjecting their friends the public to
this extreme violence, they merely take
them and shake them down, and re-
pat the operation from time to time
If the trust continues to shake down
the public, it will soon accomplish an
unlocked for result. All the patience
in the public will be churned into but
ter, and the milk of human kindness
will be sour buttermilk. The butter
trust is unpopular. A trust that is fat
tened at the expense of the public stom-
ach cannot last long. 1t should never
have been tolerated.

Tangled Relations

Robert Woods Bliss, secretary of the
American legation at Brussels, is en-
gagged to marry his stepsister. once
the ceremony is performed the rela-
tionships thereby established will be
blissful in the extreme. The bride
groom's mother will be his mother-in-
law and his father his father-in-law.
The bride married to her brother, will
become her own sister-in-law. Should
a child bless the union, the yonugster's S
mother will also be his aunt, and thus
he will become his own cousin, while
his grandfather will be his great-uncle
and his grandmother his great-aunt
That boy seemingly will be the most
related youngster of modern times.

CARE OF BIRDS.
How TO Protect Feathered Pets From
Red Mites.

l fNNa NAh1es
Unless great cleanliness is adopted
with all cage birds insect pests will
prove most troublesome. Ii is by no
means pleasant TO find several insects
on the hands when the cage Is touch
ed or moved. a sure sign that the I'M
fortunate bird is infested with para
sites, generally the result OF dirt. II a
cage bird Is seen TO be picking itself
continually under the wings and vent
and to be restless and fidget about on
the perch at night. insects must GER
tainly be suspected. The bird should
be caught and busted with insect pow
der and a little quassla or alum added
TO the bath water. II the perches are
made hollow for about an inch at each
end, the insects viii conceal themselves
In the hollows in the daytime. The
perches can then be taken out OF the
cage frequently and dipped In boil
ing water, getting rid I'm this way of
numbers OF the pests. says the Brook.
Ign Eagle. An old fashioned plan Is to
hang a white cloth over the cage at
night. leaving room for ventilation.
Many OF the insects will retire into
the folds at daylight. when the cloth
can be carefully removed and dropped
into hot water.
One OF the greatest obstacles to the
successful rearing OF young canaries
is the small insect known as the red
mite. or canary bug. The attentions
OF this bloodthirsty little parasite are
responsible for the deaths Of many
hundreds OF nesting canaries annually.
Want OF cleanliness is one Of the chief
reasons for the appearance OF this pest
How TO get rid OF II when Il has once
taken up Its abode In the cage and on
the birds is a problem that has puzzled
many canary breeders. Innumerable
experiments have been made. Tur-
pentine. parafin. carbolic. tobacco
quassia. soda and num.-rless other
things have been tried. with varying
results.
Fir tree oil win Kill these insects
and when applied 10 the joints OF the
cage win prevent others coming for
some time. Benzlne collas-used for
removing grease from cloth-will kill
them quickly. But II soon evaporates.
and the effect lasts for only n brief pc
Rod. At the commencement OF each
canary breeding season all cages that
are not new should be thoroughly
cleansed with hot water and soda or
with soap and water with which some
dlsinfectant Is freely mixed. When
this is dry all the crevices as well as
the wires should be painted with
paraain or with hr tree OIL
After the hen canary has made her
nest and laid her eggs they should be
sprinkled with insect powder. If there
are red mites present after the young
birds are hatched they win be seen in
the ears and nostrils OF the nestlings.
A pale appearance about the mouth
and the body looking white instead OF
red should always cause Investigation
10 be made Of the young ones. With
constant cleanliness and as much air
and ventilation as possible In the bird
room parasites ought not 10 prove trou-
blesOme.
