MOUSE TRAP is VERY USEFUL
Easily Made by Placing Piece Of
Stout Paper over Top of
Earthenware Jar.

If you have no cat, and find the mice
in your house getting altogether too
bold for comfort, or If you would like
to keep some mice for pets, a home
made trap will catch them.
Over the top Of an earthenware far
fasten a piece of writing paper, tight
ly binding 1t with string or elastic
band In the center of the paper cut
a cross. Set the jar in the closet, and
suspend by string a piece of cheese
over the center of the jar, and lean
something against the jar so that the
mice can reach the top. If there are
any mice in the closet the bait will
attract them, but just as soon as the
first mouse reaches the center of the
paper he will drop into the Jar and
the paper will fly back into place
again, ready for the next conner. A
trap arranged in the same manner can
be used for the capture of field and
harvest mice, which make odd and
amusing pets.
A barrel covered with stiff brown
paper can be used for common rats
but they will gnaw out unless the
barrel be partly filed with water.

.MALCONTENTS PROMISE
TROUBLE FOR GREECE
(By Union Associated Press.)

Athens, Nov. IA great mass meet
ing of Greek malcontents, who are
urging the overthrow of the present
government, has been advertised for
tonight and the authorities are pre-
pairing for serious trouble. The gath
ering is for the purpose Of opening
the opposition campaign preparatory
to the election on the 2Sth of the
month, when the new revisionist
chamber will be chosen.
Popular discomfort with the present
regime has assumed a serious charac-
ter and the speedy overthrow of the
monarchy is predicted ip many quar-
tiers. Dissatisfaction is spreading rapid
ly in both the army and the navy.
The recent revolution in Portugal has
been seized upon by the republican
leaders as an example of what may
be accomplished by decisive and fear
less action. 1t is admitted by many
of the leaders of the opposition that
the King has honestly tried to serve
the best interests of his adopted land,
but they asesrt that he has miserably
failed and that the time is ripe for a
change. Few observers of the trend
of events in Greece believe that the
Republicans are strong enough to put
their theories Of government into eff
feet, and a revolution would probably
result in change of rulers.

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN INHERITED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretions it is a condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their ollcc being to provide every
portion Of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourish1nent to the
body. Bad blood 1nanifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions.

it nicely and gracefully notwithstanding.
In his wake came the Grandees OF Spain,
whose duty it was to pull on the stockings
and lace up the shoes of the thirteen old
men; but they didn't do their part prettily
at all. They seemed to think it was rather
beneath them, and yanked at the stockings
and jerked at the shoelaces until one old
graced himself forever.
Well, when the foot washing part of the
ceremony was over, the old men were reshod.
and the last prayer had been said, it was up
to the King, again following custom, to
serve the victims with thirteen-course din
ner-which, possibly from fear of their
table manners, they are not allowed to eat.
They sit at a damask covered and silver
laden board, the chef hands a wonderfully
garnished dish to an equerry, the equerry
passes it to gentleman in waiting, the gen.
tleman in waiting hands it to a chamber
lain, the chamberlain gives it to Grandee
of Spain, the Grandee bows and hands it to
an Archbishop, the Archbishop drops on his
knee and gives it to the Cardinal the Car
dinal, muttering grace in Latin, hands it
to the King, and the King places it before
the beggars, whose mouths are watering in
anticipation.
But no sooner does the King set it down
on one side than dignitary snatches it up on
the other before the beggars SO much as get
a look at it, and it is hustled out and placed
in a hamper. And when the hamper is
filled, the beggars, when they are finally
permitted to make their escape, are sup
posed to take it home to their starving fam
lies; but as matter of fact they sell the
contents for round sums to waiting pastry
cooks before they get out of the palace yard.
The serving of thirteen-course dinners is
likely to become trif1e tedious, especially
when they are not eaten: so when an enor-
nous pyramid of stuffed olives came bob
bling up the line the young King, who was
tired and hungry, slipped one into his mouth
when he thought no one was looking. But
just as he did so he caught flash of disap-
proval from his mother, Queen Christina.
So, when poor Alfonso caught his mama's
disappearing glance, he nearly choked in his
effort to swallow the offending titbit, and the
great pyramid of olives he held toppled and
fell and rolled all over the floor. A Prince of
the Church pounded him on the back, an
Archbishop rushed for water, and the thir
teen beggars looked on amazedly at such
display of table manners.

OF THE ROBINS
BY Elizabeth A. Reed

Spring came early to the shores of Lake
~ Michigan. When March sent out his
trumpet call to the storm clouds, some gent
Ter spirit caught the notes and changed
them into low, sweet song. The great trees,
with wind swept branches, had been holding
their faith close to living hearts, and when
they heard the mysterious summons the
wine of life raced again through their cold
veins. Down in the sleeping earth the violet
and anemone were wakened, and tiny root
lets crept toward one another, while the but
tercups began to measure out their gold.
The feathered folk in the southland heard
their heads to one side, they whispered to
one another the call of the north. Multi
tudes of robins running about under the
orange trees discussed it all day long, and
when the color flashed over the hills of morn
ing they were gone.
They came into land of rioting spring
time; for the leaves were in their tender
green, and tulips and daffodils were nodding
to one another through all the latter part of
March.
On the north side of great city close to
the lake family found a welcome robin
building her nest in a tree on branch so
near an upper window that it was within
reach of the hand; and the window became
a land OF plenty for the birds, where many
dainty waited for them during the intervals
of their work.
At last the nest was finished and summer
seemed to be on the wing; later flowers were
coming into bloom and the air was fragrant
with the breath of newly mown grass. The
eggs of robins blue" were all laid and the
little mother took up the task of bringing her
brides out of the pearly palaces, while the
father sang on branch nearby or brought
her bits of food.
April had come in, singing the songs of
Tune; but belated storm swept over the
northland and the air grew freezing cold,
while the snow came swirling through the
leafy branches. The brave little mother had
no thought of leaving her eggs. She was
listening now for tiny peck that whispered
life was stirring beneath her faithful wings;
so she bent her head to the storm and spread

her feathers so they were thin over herself,
but warmer for the ever new miracle going
on beneath her loyal heart.
A conference was held in the house where
warm hearts held loving reign, and after
time the window was cautiously opened and
gently-oh, so gently!-the limb bearing the
nest was severed from the tree. The brood
ing bird saw it all with beating heart and
frightened eyes; but she chung more closely
to her nest while it was lifted into the spa
cious chamber that had been vacated for
her. A generous table was spread with bird
luxuries; but she only looked and trembled.
The window was wide open, and the bird
friends had left them alone, when the father
robin came home cold and hungry to tell his
little wife that no worms were to be found in
the snow and everything else had sought
refuge from the storm. But there was no
nest on his familiar limb. Astonished at
first, and then terrified, he sought the whole
tree over in vain; but at last his agonized
cry was answered by low, sweet call from
within the room, and the frantic bird dashed
through the open window to the side of his
mate. Still with gaping bill he looked eager
ly round the room for some solution of the
strange problem; but in response to another
comforting note he began to smooth his dis
tended feathers and realize the warmth of
ClC lCOIII, dtIiOuSl IL Weio oS'illCIiillC OClOiC
he ventured toward the food and water near
them.
The storm continued to rage, and winter
seemed to have dropped from the clouds
into the very heart of summer; but, which
ever way the snow might drift, the window
of robins chamber was never closed and the
door was opened only to bring in fresh sup
plies The mother bird soon learned to re-
ceive these visits unafraid and the four little
mouths within the nest we're generously filled
as the cold days went by.
When at last the fledglings futtered to the
window they looked out into the sunshine
that covered as with a garment the blue
waters of the lake, and after a time they
chirped cheerily from the tree, while their
spotted breasts were turned toward the win
dow whence their supplies were still brought
by the old birds.
The family of bird lovers on the North
Side are wondering whether their hospitality
will be remembered, and the same tree
chosen when the tide of migration again
turns northward.

SEVERAL TOWNS TO HOLD
FOURTH OF JULY FETE
Proposed Apricot Carnival Gives
Way to Earlier Affair

HAYWARD, March 22.-At d mass
meeting of citizens in the town hall
last night, presided over by Mayor
Charles w. Heyer, it was unanimously
decided to abandon the proposed april
cot carnival and hold in its place a big
fourth of July celebration, as was orig
inally planned. San Leandro, San Lo-
renzo, Niles, Centerville, Newark, Irv-
lngton, Pleasanton and Livermore will
join with Hayward to make the cele-
bration one of the largest and most
successful ever held in this part of
Alameda county.
The apricot festival was given up
owing to the uncertainty of the crop
and the lateness of the date, as it
would be the last of July before the
fruit would be ripe. At this time hay
ing would be in progress and it would
be impossible for the farmers to at
tend Many of the towspeople would
also be away on vacation trips, 1T was
argued, while fourth of July festival
could be attended by all.
Definite plans for the celebration
will be made at a meeting in the town
hall next Monday night, when all the
committees will be named. Every pos
sible attraction will be secured for the
days program, including, it is hoped,
an aviation meet.
S. j. Simons, a. l.. Graham, S. c..
Smith. Jacob Harder Jr., r. Reid, w.
j. Ramage and James S. French were
appointed last night by Mayor Heyer
as finance committee.

SAYS CITY'S TITLE
TO PARK is CLEAR
City Engineer Turner Does Not
Credit Adverse Report

OAKLAND, March 22.-City officials
do not seriously consider reports which
have been circulated to the effect that
the Peralta park, into which the city is
converting the marsh land south of the
Twelfth street dam will be divided bv
a street railway sine.
The reports held that in some deed
conveying the property a reservation
was made for an so foot right of way.
City Engineer Turner said that no such
reservation was even mentioned in the
condemnation proceedings by which the
city acquired part of the property. He
believes that the city's title to all the
land is clear and that no railway COM
pany has any rights in the park.
The rumor OF such reservation of
right of way grew presumably ont of
the history of the old Alameda. oak
land and Piedmont railway. which
years ago was consolidated into the
Oakland traction company. That line
crossed the marsh which is to be
Peralta park at Eleventh street. but
after the consolidation Of the RAILWAYS
the road was abandoned. The tracks
have been torn out and the trestle over
the marsh removed for considera bic

PURSUES BURGLAR
IN HIS NIGHT DRESS
Housebreaker Eludes Alameda
Man and Companions

ALAMEDA. March 22.-Clad only in
his night dress, L. d. Richards of 1920
Bay street with Robert Birmingham
and Frank Clark chased a burglar for
several blocks last night. The thief
escaped by jumping several fences in
the vicinity of Pacific avenue and Sher-
man street.
Richards was asleep in his home
when he was awakened by the noise
made by the burglar in ransacking
rooms. Stealing quietly out of bed
and out of doors, Richards went to Mel
sons poolroom at Bay station to OBJ
tain reinforcements for the purpose of
surrounding his dwelling and captur-
ing the housebreaker.
Birmingham and Clark volunteered
and the trio went back to the Richards
dwelling. The burglar took alarm at
their approach and jumped through a
window. Birmingham, Clark and Rich
ards gave chase, but the housebreaker
eluded them. An investigation showed
that the burglar had entered the
dwelling by forcing a window.
