Oh, the French fashion elegant trities
Like a fan or a perfume or puff,
And try as we may we can't equal
Their skill in such fanciful stuff.
Yet see that big skyscraper's frame
work,
Where an iron-man looks like a
midge,
And gaze at that tangle of glrders
Unraveling into a bridge
There's the great American fabric
With which our designers must
deal
So the Frenchman may lead us in
bonnets,
But We set the fashion in steel.
And then there's the globe-ranging
Briton-
Though he seems more or less Of
an ass,
He travels from pole to Equator
With his monocle, bathtub and
Bass;
Hears our Moguls go putting through
Persia
And jerking fast African freights:
Sees our rails vanish far down the
jungles
OF the most uncivilzed states.
And like those who are merely Cooks
tourists
The widest explorer must feel,
Whatever the flag of the country

INTEREST TAKEN
IN DRAINAE QUESTION

Chicago, In.-Drain the swamp and
overflow lands of the United States,
is slogan of the National Irrigation
congress which particularly interests
those states having large bodies Of
land which require drainage for their
reclamation. The drainage question
Is one which interests every state n
the union and is causing all sections
OF the country to take unusual inter-
est in the nineteenth meeting of the
National Irrigation congress at Chi
cago, December 8 to 9.
This great development organization
has been one of the leaders in the
work to have the overflow lands re-
claimed through cooperation OF ma
tional, state and individual efforts un-
der plan similar to that by which
reclamation through irrigation has
accomplished such wonders through
out the western states. Special at
tention will be given this year at the
Chicago meeting to this matter which
is of such direc interest to the states
of the south and middle west.
At the Pueblo meeting last year the
Irrigation Congress adopted a reso-
luton regarding drainage as follows:
Recognizing the economic waste and
menace to the public health connect
ed with our vast areas of swamp
and overflow lands, We request our
representatives in the federal con-
gress to take suitable action looking
toward the reclamation of such lands
under a policy corresponding with
that of the reclamation of arid lands
by irrigation under the reclamation
service; such reclamation of swamp
and overflow lands to be carried for
ward through cooperation between
individual owners. states and the fed
eral government"
At the Chicago meeting special ef-
forts will be made to further this pol
icy.

OREGON AUDUBON SOCIETY
MAKES STRONG CAMPAIGN

Portland, Or.-Unlque among COL
onization movements is the work of
the oregon Audubon society, which
Is making a strong campaign this
spring for more song birds. Every
inducement is to be given these feath-
cred friends OF mankind to settle and
raise future generations of songsters
here.
Residents Of Portland, and partic-
ularly those who live in the suburbs,
are being encouraged by the society
to build bird houses ana put them up
in their gardens or orchards. so the
birds will nest there. making this a
city Of song birds as well as n place
noted for its roses. 1t is hoped the
whole state viii do a similar work.
President Finley of the Oregon
Audubon society says the criticism
Is often made that this state has few
er birds than the east, or at any rate
they live in the woods farther from
the cicties. The country here is new
er and the song birds have not yet
taken to civilization as they have in
the east.
Blue birds, wrens, white-breasted
swallows and chickadees still nest In
the crevices OF old stumps in the
midst Of the woods" said Mr.. Fin
ley "As these are being cleared
away many of the birds are hard put
to 1t TO find new homes. If people
would make bird houses and put them
IN their gardens. they would soon be
rented. the birds would learn to come
to the city instead OF being driven
iurther into the woods to find their
homes.
IF some Of our song birds were
supplied with food during the winter
they would likely stay here and not
migrate to the south. As a rule. our
winters are mild enough so that many
songsters would stay the entire year.
By getting people Interested in feed
ing birds In winter and putting I'D
bird houses in summer, the Audubon
society hopes TO make this state a
center for songsters."
