BIRDS MUST BE PROTECTED
EVILS That Have Followed In the Train
OF Promiscuous Slaughter of
Feathered Creatures.

The reciprocal relations between
different departments of nature is a
subject worthy of deep study, for
through such involuntary cooperation
there come results of great economic
value to our race: Promiscuous kill
ing Of birds allows insect pests to de-
stroy both forest and orchard. while
the slaughter of forests and trees in
general results in lessening the multi
pltcation of birds because of lack of
shelter and natural surroundings.
John Davey, now travelling over the
country in the interests of the Refor.
estatton Band of America, says:
One hundred million dollars yearly
Is the price we pay for the activities
of the tree butcher. The decrease in
the number of native song birds has
resulted# in the elimination of trees
from cities and towns. The band pur.
poses to interest the children of Can.
ada and this country in the culture of
trees, and the protection Of useful ma.
tive birds. In this way we are pre-.
pairing a more effective plan for the
restoration of the forests than could
be effected by the setting aside of 100
forest reservations"

MISS SUSAN GLASPELL's DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies in
Her Story The
VIsionins.

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
dog, which fact Is Of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
In the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog,
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When it's owner
bought 1t, over in Paris, she wanted at
hrst to name it Raspail, both in mem
ory Of the boulevard on which she
lived and as sympathetic cognomen
for a sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan
derer. 1t is a coolie, and a coolie, it
evidently thinks, ought to be af1eld.
Whenever it feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and
address. She has come to think moth
ing of such a phone message as this:
Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,
dis is der bartender bel Hans Bum
melransen's saloon. No, no, wait! I
didn't got der wrong phone number. 1
choost want to say got here your tog.
Will you come for him."
Then the author of The visioning
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and dollar. But were it not
so there might never have been a
N'est-ce-pas and a Pourquoi.

Concerned Development of West

Salt Lake City.-John Henry Smith
second counselor to President Joseph
r. smith, and one of the most emin-
enC men OF the west, died at his home
IN this city Friday morning, at 1915
d" a result of hemorrhage of the
lungs.
President Smith had been i'll since
last April, when he suffered a hem
orrhage which was considered very
serious at the time, but the effects OF
which he slowly overcame. A month
ago he returned from a trip through
the Yellowstone park and was feeling
we'll in every respect until about three
weeks ago.
John Henry Smith was born at Gar
ounca, Ia, September IS, 1913. He
was the son of the late President
Smith and Sarah Ann Uibbay) Smith.
His parents had been driven from
illinois and Missouri with the rest of
the members of the church and it
was while they were at Carbunca,
now Council Bluffs, that their son
was born. His father, the late Pres
ldent George A. Smith. had accompan-
led President Brigham Young and the
first company of pioneers to the Great
Salt Lake valley the year before, ana
with some of them had also returned
to the Missouri river. Upon his ar
rival there he proceeded to rake
preparations for the removal of his
family to the new headquarters of
the church, but it was not until the
summer of 1S49 that the gamIiy be-
gan their journey westward from the
Missouri river; and John Henry was
just past one year of age when the
family arrived in Salt Lake City.
At the age of IS, John Henry Smith
was married to Miss Sarah Farr,
daughter of the Honorable Loren Farr
of Ogden. Soon after his marriage,

Parks Lessen Fire Risks.

In connection with the parks and
the city's prospective growth it should
be pointed out that the parks have
fire insurance value This Is a fact
which, seldom taken into account is
nevertheless, apparent on a moments
reflection. No greater fire barrier can
be made, invented or built, than
wide stretch of park land, The danger
of confiagration is Iesseued. This was
distinctly proven in the great san
Francisco fire where flames stopped
short at the edge of parkways. IN
Baltimore one or two parks would
have paid for themselves during that
citv,s unfortunate confagration.

PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS

II was troubled with ac=e for three
long years. My face was the only part
affected, but it caused great dfsfigure-
ment, also suffering and loss of sleep.
At first there appeared red, hard
pimples which later contained white
matter. I suffered a great deal caused
by the itching. I was in a state of
perplexity when walking the streets
or anywhere before the public.
II used pills and other remedies but
they failed completely. I thought of
giving up when nothing would help,
but Comething told me to try the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. l sent for
a Cuticura Booklet which I read care
fully. Then 1 bought some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and by following
the directions 1 was relieved in few
days. l used Cuticura Soap for wash
ing my face, and applied the Cuticura
Ointment morning and evening. This
treatment brought marvellous results
so l continued with it for a few weeks
and was cured completely. l can

he moved to Provo, where he was
employed as telegrapher, and later
assisted in the completion of the
Central Pacific railway.
At the session of the territorial
legislature of 1872, John Henry Smith
was appointed assistant clerk of the
house of representatives, and from
this time dated the beginning of his
career in civil matters. In the same
year he was chosen assistant CLERK
of the constitutional convention.
In addition to his duties in the
work of developing the church, Apos-
tie Smith took an active part in the
political affairs of the state. In Feb
ruary, 1876, he was member OF the
Salt Lake City council and served for
six years as a councilman. In Aug
ust, 1881, he was elected a member
Of the territorial Legislature.
Upon the division of the Peoples
party and the Liberals upon national
political lines, he was one of the first
to advocate the principles of the Re-
publican party and was always an ac-
tive worker in that party. He was
president of the convention that
formed the constitution under which
Utah was admitted into the Union as
a state.
Since his call to the apostlesnip e.
der Smith devoted practically all of
his time to public duties. Except
when absent from the country on mis-
sions, he travelled almost constantly
among the stakes Of the church, at
tending conferences, instructing ana
encouraging the members, organizing
and setting in order the stakes and
wards. He visited every stake in the
church in Utah. many of them several
times, including those in Old Next
CO and different states and territories
of the United States and Canada. He
also made a tour of the southern
states mission in 1899, doing consid-
cradle preaching both there and on
his way.

Leaves Purify Air.

1t has been calculated that a single
tree is able through its leaves to puri-
fly the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the perspiration of con-
siderable number of men, perhaps
dozen or even more.
The volume of carbonic acid ex-
hailed by human being in the course
of "a hours is put at about 100 gal
Ions; but by Boussingault's estimate,
a single square yard of leaf-surface,
counting both the upper and under
sides Of the leaves, can, under favor
able circumstances, decOmpOse at
least a gallon of carbonic acid in
day. One hundred square yards OF
leaf-surface then would suffice to
keep the air pure for one man, but
the leaves of a tree of moderate size
present a surface of many hundred
square yards-Scientific American.
