BUILDING A PIGEON ASYLUM
Col. John 7. MacAuley Of Louisville,
KY, Starts Something New in
Philanthropy.

Louisville, Ky.-This city boasts
what is perhaps the first asylum for
homeless pigeons in the country. The
philanthropy is the idea of Col. John
T. MacAuley, veteran theatrical mana
ger, who has built the hospital on the
cottage plan, capable Of accommodate
ing thousands OF birds, in the rear Of
his theater in the heart OF the bust
ness district. Destruction of numer-
GUS landmarks recently, incident to an
extension of the retail and Office dis
trict, has distributed the ancestral
homes of legions of downtown pigeons
and their bewildered flights in search
of new habitation attracted the beney-
client eye of Col. MacAuley, who imnle-
diately set carpenters at work on the
asylum.

TO BROADEN OUR HEALTH
DEPARTMENT..

We are not posted as to just what
extent the city health department pro-
poses to enlarge its scope of work,
out there is little room for arguing
the fact that the very broadcast
grounds should be covered in this
proposed new health administration in
the city of Brunswick.
A few mornings ago The News took
occasion to call attention to this very
serioIs situation. AS stated at that
time, We had no structures to pass
upon the present city physician and
health officer, but it has been our
opinion all along that the health au-
thoricies have been too lax in the en-
forcement Of sanitary regulations as
prescribed in every seaport city in
the United States. Still Brunswick
has anaged to remain the healthiest
seaport in the country, with but a
single exception, is in spite of these
conditions.
There is no greater subject and
certainly there is no one closer to the
public than is the one which makes
for wholesome and at the same
time rigid sanitary condition. Unfor-
tunately, here in Brunswick since the
United States government assumed
control of the quarantine station, our
people have labored under the erron-
eous conclusion that here ended the
duty of the health officer. This is
a serious mistake. Bad health con-
ditions very often come from inter-
nal disaffection, due to the disregard
of healthy sanitary laws, and the only
way to guard against such is to fol-
low closely the well regulated system
of such laws in effect in other cities
similarly located. Certainly the
of council is along the right
line and certainly it has in contem-
plation a broader administration of
health affairs.
1t is to be hoped that the new
health officer will be keenly alive to
he situation and in the beginning The

ten or twelve million dollars Who

The great coal srike in England
that has almost paralyzed industry
IN the United Kingdom, will be set

OF an Increased wage to the miners.
Inc consumer of almost everything
IN the manufactures line will paw for

And the wage Garner who is fore

wages The coal miners may get ten
cents ton more for taking out the
coal; the mine owner will sell it at
an advance of twenty-five cents a
ton; the dealer will charge fifty cents
Or a dollar more for it. So the cost
goes mounting up all along the line,

it comes back to the point from which
