thor of the book and his assistants
have been gathering material in the
departments here for years. and it was
found that people all over the. United
States and the world were writing to
officials in Washington for information
about the work of the different branch
es of the government.
Mr.. Haskin began to publish infor
nation of this kind in his daily let
tiers, and he found that thousands of
people were clipping these articles
and saving them In scrapbooks.
When he decided to get out a book or
the government containing facts about Its
operation rather than theories about the
scope of it's constitutional functions he
put the matter up to The Star and pro-
posed that it make the first distribution
of the book.

A Magic Word.

The leading story i'm our next SUNDAY
Magazine is THE Magic Word. written
by Frederic Van Rensselaer, DeN. one OF
the ablest and most prolific authors
known TO American fiction. Mr.. Dey has
chosen for his theme the search for ana
discovery of the word that, followed b.
the discoverer. will bring health, wealth
and happiness-the end of all trouble and
misfortune OF course il is obviously inn
possible for there to be such world OF
universal application, for each one of as
must have his own magic word, based on
his experience and attitude toward his
low-creatures and the conditions tina:
surround him. But it is not altogether
platitude that Mr.. Dey is giving, for there
is no question that obedience to the teach
ings lying hidden in his magic word
would do much to stop all the ills Of man
kind The fact that he has made fiction
the medium for his discourse gives tie
tale greater interest. 1t is an exceedingly
odd and entertaining story.

a tremendous effort to be polite as he

He sprang through the darkness and
Jan made a movement to follow. Then
he stopped and turned instead to the
company's store. He took his pack to the
siedge and dogs in the edge OF the spruce.
and Kazan leaped to greet him at the end
of his babiche. This night as Jan travelled
through the forest he did not notice the
stars or the friendly shadows.
"A year." he repeated to himself. again
and again. and once. when Kazan rubbed
against his leg and looked up into his
face, he said, "Ah, Kazan. our Melissa

the Great God give them happiness.

after this. He did not go back to Oxford

he set out to outfit at the Hudson BAY
post on Gods lake. instead OF at OXFORD

a part Of the lake that Kazan ieaped
aside for an instant in his traces ana
snapped at something in the snow.
Jan saw the movement. but gave no at
tention to it until a little later. when
Kazan stopped and fell upon his belly
biting at the harness and whining IN pain.
The thought Of kazan's sudden snap at
the snow came to him then like q knife

bowed head he came behind his four dogs
turned back into the wilderness with his
supplies. 1t was dark when he returned
to where he had left kazan. He placed
him upon the sledge and the four huskies
from which the smell of death came to
them. They stopped in the deep forests
beyond the lake and Jan built fire.
This night, as on all nights in his lonely
life. Jan drew kaZan close to him. and he
shivered as the other dogs skunk back
from him suspiciously. and the fire and
the spruce tops broke the stiffness of
the forest. He looked at the cracking
flames. at the fltful shadows which they
set dancing and grimacing about him.
and 1t seemed to him now that they were
no longer friends, but were haunting him
gloating in Kazan's death. and telling
him that he was alone. alone. alone. He
let the fire die down. stirring it into life
only when the cold stiffened him, and
when at last he fell into an unquiet sum-

birds are one of the great needs of the

the birds at large have TO face in this

interested I'm the protection of the birds

eign immigrants have been found on in
vestisation all over the country to he
relentless bird killers. They have been
used in their native countries to killing
al, sorts OF birds at all seasons for food,
and they continue this practice here. The
repOT- says that the number Of insectiS-
erous birds Is diminishing rather than In
creas ng. and there is need for an active
props ganda in their favor One OF the
foremost means OF conservation is a
strict enforcement Of the local laws
against the slaughter Of protected birds
and a rigid supervision Of the foreign
element.
Another thing the report says can he
done to encourage birds is TO furnish
them with nesting places. This work has
been tried on large scale in Germany

are urged To put out as many boxes

crease Of birds about their homes Will
much more than repay the outlay, both

refugees on the farms The survey has
