GIVE QUAKE ALARM

camps of engineers that the birds are given individual names and soon be- come regular pets
 Whenever we saw the parrots de. serting the forest and alighting on the ground in the open spaces of the jungle we immediately withdrew the pile drivers from the bridges" said c. J. Green. an engineer, just returned from II months work on the South ern Pacific in Mexico, in which he passed through the states Of Sinaola and Colima and a portion of the ter ritory of Tepic, the heart of the par rot country
 "The birds" said Mir. Green, gave us sure warning of the approach or an earthquake, and we never failed to heed their warning that we did not have trouble with the pile drivers. and any steel or wooden beams standing upright were sure to be toppled over. In fact, we lost the greater part or one steel bridge because we did not pay attention to the parrots and take great weight of cars loaded with stone off the outer end
 There is. of course, no warning or those quakes, and were it not for the parrots hundreds of the Mexican Ia borers working around the piers and abutments would have lost their lives
 .'In the towns of the hot country, just previous to the last series or earthouakes. one of which shocks was SO disastrous to Acapulco, the people were warned by the struggles or ev' cry parrot confined in cage through ont the length and breadth of Mexico that earthquakes were coming ~h' For several hours before the heaVy shocks began to come the birds were making their low and plaintive earth quake cries, as the natives call them' and were trying to escape from their cages"
 Other engineers and white men who have spent much time in the iungles of tropical America tell the same story. Monkeys are afraid or ouakes. and can feel them coming as well as the birds. but do not give such a plain warning. merely scurry' ing for the tops of the highest trees

RATE FROM

Very Material Promise on Which Mag

or misleading" is the characterize
tion by the postofIioe department Of
statement recently published by tho
Periodical Publishers association, en-
titled can argument on second class

The answer of the department to the
argument OF the magazine publishers
was given to the public Sunday. II
declares that the very material prom
ise on which the argument is based
proves to be faulty and consequently
every important conclusion reached is
fallacious.
The startling assertion is made by
Postmaster General Hitchcock that "if
the rate on seeond-class mail were
made high enough to cover the entire
cost Of transporting and handling H.,
which has now been suggested. IL
would be possible, without creating a
deficit to reduce the postage ON let
ters from cents to cent.
Every time a 2-cent stamp is now
placed on a letter II defrays not only
the expense of handling and transport
ing the letter, but helps to pay in al.
most equal measure the cost Of dis.
through the mails the period
ical publications Of the country.
The departments statement is an
elaborate discussion of the cost to the
government of postal facilities, partic-
ularly to second-class matter and rural
free delivery
It Is shown that the average length
OF the haul Of magazines Is OS4 miles
while that of daily newspapers, also
second-class matter, is only 291

make men and women better2 The la
Dor movement is essentially a moral
movement. 1t stands for equal oppor-
tunity for men and women, though it
believes that it should be made more
easily possible for women to become
honemakers. Who could deny that the
liquor traffic was driving women to
work in factories, in workshops, and
at washtubs who ought not to be there7
The trade-union movement was opposed
to child labor, yet who could deny that
the liquor traffic was driving into in
dustrial life boys and girls who should
be in the school or on the Playground
The liquor traffic tended to decrease
wages, never to increase them. The
use of alcohol made workmen less skill
full and drove men to lower scales of
employment and reward. Every cent
spent in the liquor business was vast
ed, bringing no social benefit or moral
uplift."
Said President Lewis, who believes
that "the trade-unions are doing more
for the cause of temperance than any
other institution in the world':
