To The KnOcker

If you don't like the kind of town
That this town seems to be,
If buildings have all tumbled down
A way you hate to see,
II something isn't up-to-date,
Or good as things OF old,
While other towns are simply great
(Or SO you haye been told);
If you would like to see a place
That's full of push and snap,
A town that hits a faster pace
A town that's on the map;
Yes, if a way you'd like to know
To start things with a jerk,
I'll tell you where you ought to 90
You ought to go to work.
You needn't pack a trunk or grip
And leave the folks behind,
You needn't go and take a trip,
Some other place to find,
You needn't go and settle down
Where friends of old you miss
For, if you want that kind of town,
just make it out of this.

Geraghty was about twenty-five years
old. employed in the quartermaster's Of

when he began to drink alleged mystic
rious liquors. he was an exemplary man.
Bay rum, lemon extract, and hair oil
were his downfall and the real cause of
his death. according to statements made
by his comrades. The strenuous efforts
of the surgeon failed to save his life,
when it was finally discovered what in
toxicants Geraghty had been imbibng.

LEADERS OF THE RED CROSS
OBTAIN FUNDS FOR RELIEF
WORK IN THE BALKANS

Miss Mabel Boardman, active admins
traitor OF the American Red Cross. left
for New York yesterday TO attend a
meeting OF the leaders OF the Red Cross
Society TO decide on measures for obtain
ing funds with which TO assist in the
relief work in the Balkans.
Miss Boardman was accompanied to New
York by Nine. Slavko Grouitch. wife OF
the Servian Minister at London. who
has been active in this country on behalf
of the Red Cross organizations operating
in Turkey. Cleveland Dodge, Oscar
Straus, and Robert F. De Forrest, vice
president of the American Red Cross,
will be among those present at the meet
ing in New York tomorrow.
Contributions to the Balkan relief fund
Of the Red Cross are being received very
slowly at the Washington headquarters
Yesterday brought an increase, however.
Mrs. Russell Sage having given 5000, and
two other New Workers., who do not
wish their identity disclosed. having
given $1,000 each.
A 5000 check was sent to the Balkans
yesterday to be distributed among the
five nations engaged in the conflict.

Michigan's Parole System.

The report of the Michigan State
Board of Pardons and Paroles breaks
lance in favor of the parole system
which recently has been severely criti-
cised in some parts of the country.
We CLEAN from the report that more
than s. per cent of the convicts pa
rolled from the Wolverine State penal
institutions are making good" and
have become useful citizens, and that
there are fully 500 prisoners in the
Michigan State Prison who could be
trusted outside the prison walls with
out guard save their own word of
honor.
In explanation of the good results
obtained, the board states that what
has been accomplished was chiefly be-
cause great care has been exercised to
determine whether the person merely
desires to be free from restraint or
whether the desire is to reform and be-
come good citizen. The greatest care
is exercised to see that the paroled con-
vlct does not fall in with evil associ-
ates in order to keep temptation from
him.

Beaten and demoralized without hope OF

Nazim Pasha, the commander-in-chief

Some Of the Turkish advisers in the

many versed in warfare. would certainly
result in fresh disasters.
AS a basis of the proposals for an arm
istice Turkey is ready to abandon Chat

Arbitration in Sight.

While Austria still pretends to be
firm in her intentions to prevent Servia
from securing a seaport on the Adri-
ATTIC, providing she gets there first, all
that Servia will have to do is to con-
tinue the march of her victorious army
across the Dalmatian or Illyrian Alps.
The logic of events seems to be against
Austria. When once she realizes that
Servia will rather fight than relinquish
her ambitions, and that an attack upon
Servia might bring Russia into the
arena with France and Britain, as prob
able hackers, the Ballplatz statesmen
may not insist too strenuously on hav-
ing their way. Therefore, the reports
that the president of the Bulgarian
Sobranje has informed Vienna that he
means to try to have Servia modify her
demands, is not creditable.
Too much has been gained by united
action on the part of the Balkan states
for any Of them to sow the seeds of
discord at this time. As long as they
remain solidly united and have the
sympathies of Russia, there seems little
danger that they will be robbed of the
fruits of their victory. In fact, some of
the European chancellories take an OPP
timistic view of the present situation.
The great powers not directly inter-
ested in the result, more particularly
Germany, are making strong efforts to
reconcile the two antagonists, and it is
believed that Germany has induced
Austria not to press her objections to
Servia's aims too hard until the end of
the campaign, when the entire Balkan
question can be settled by European
conference in which the Balkan ma
tons themselves will have a vote

Washington's Poor Showing.

! Washington, though the Capital City.
/ makes a poor showing as to the aver
{ age deposits in Savings Banks. There
. are IooIo,3o4 savings bank depositors
in the country, but a striking fact is
that although for the year ended
June Il, 1912, only thirty-eight new
banks are reported, depositors in
creased by 2I5,657, and deposits by
S23o,23+q2+ The increase for the year
in the average deposit account was
SI463. Since 1908 Cor practically dur
ing the Taft administration savings
deposits, according to official statistics,
have increased more than S7oI.ooo,ooo,
or the average of each depoSitor from
$42o,47 to $44472 Theoretically every
person in the United States has S46.s3
to his credit in the savings bank, al
though practically this money is owned
by the Io,oIo,4o4 depositors instead of
the 95,656,ooo men, women, and chill
dren, composing the population of the
country Thus it is seen that on an
average about one person in every ten
"has money in the savings bank"
Deposits are highest in the group
comprising the Eastern States, New
York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Maryland and the District of
Columbia A surprising fact, however.
is that the average deposits in the Dis
trict of Columbia (SI45y6o), are much
lower than anywhere else in the coun-
try, except in Alabama (SIo6.43). The
official report is silent as to why this
should be so, but it may be accounted
for partly by the presence of a colored
population OF about one-third which
lives chiefly from hand to mouth. and
by the further fact that government
salaries leave their recipients little to
bank after living costs are deducted.
This is remarkable enough to attract
the attention of local economists and
OF prospective ofice-seekers Even in
Arkansas, where only 2.oI5 depositors
are listed against 6,I65 in the District
of Columbia. the average deposit is
SI642o. or $500 more than in the
Capital City.
The savings of the people of Rhode
Island are exceeded by those of Nevada
and California, averaging $7o3I7 and
$6SI.I6. respectively. Nevada has al
most the smallest list of savings bank
depositors in the country G,466), and
shows the largest average deposit, $7o3,-
u. California has the largest number of
depositors (597.5Io), except New York
and Massachusetts,, and she has the Sec
ond largest average per depositor,
S68I.I6. New York State alone has
more savings bank deposits than all of
New England put together and almost
as many depositors.

Astounding Loss Through Insects.

While sentiment always has been an
important factor in obtaining loss for
the protection of birds, their destruc-
ton of insects is economic reason for
conserving them. Three bills aiming
at such protection will come before
next Congress.
The most effective preventive OF bird
slaughter is Federal legislation. Uni
form State laws appear to be almost
hopeless Northern States have taken
a more advanced stand on bird con-
servation, but their efforts are largely
defeated by statutes of the Southern
States. In seven States of the South
robins are game birds and in the berry
season millions of birds are killed.
In 1904 the Federal Department of
Agriculture made study of the losses
through ravages of insects. The dam
age was found to total S42o,ooo,ooo.
This is a direct loss in national wealth,
and one which must have a very ap-
preciable effect in determining the
price of products The farmer must
depend on the birds more than any
other agency to eliminate this loss,
yet the bird slaughter continues. The
destruction of insectiverous birds is
of special concern TO many sections OF
this country. because of extensive fruit
growing. The government report
shows that 20 per cent of the crop
is destroyed by insects.
Realization of the great loss caused
by the destruction OF trees, fruits and
crops by insects cannot fail to strength
en- the organized protest against the
slaughter of birds. As the destroyers
of insects, birds have come to be
recognized as agents for conserving ma
tional wealth. The killing of a bird
indirectly is a contribution to the
strength of the insect horde which in
fest the vegetable products.

Snap Judgment.

{, Tuesdays vote in the House OF
Commons, in which the ministry. was
defeated on an amendment to the Irish
home rule bill, was bit OF sharp prac-
: tice, nothing worse The Unionists
simply caught the administration nap
t,ping. Out of go members entitled to
Fvote, only 434 went on record. Home
Z rule has sustained jolt, but it does
not follow that because the bill has a
rough road to travel it will be lost.
So long as the British ministry is
able TO hold the Irish Nationalist in
firm alliance, the coalition that now
controls the House of Commons can
force through any legislation on its
programme. The labor party men,
bers, who of late have given many
signs of following their own way in
politics, even might desert Mr. Asquith
in body and yet leave him in control
of the House.
The Nationalist would have every
thing to lose but nothing to gain by
Withdrawing from their alliance with
the Liberals. 1t is inconceivable that
Mr.. Redmond should forsake the
Premier who has f1azarded everything
in his determined effort to pass a bill
which shall give ireland a legislature
of its own without, at the same time,
depriving it of all representation in
the Imperial Parliament.
The thing is this in a nutshell. If
the sentiment of Great Britain still re-
mains with the administration the
latter can afford to proceed right up
to the House of Lords where resist
ance is to be expected, because it is
there that all conservative opposition
will rally, which, however, owing to
the new parliamentary law will be NULL
fed by the superior powers of the
House. Tuesdays vote. did not re-
