Zoos Champion Bird Positively
Refuses to Allow Any One to
Get "Fresh" Around Her.

Gentle readers, permit us to present
Polly of the Zoo Polly, meet every
body. Now, be careful what you say
and don't pull any rough stuff.
Just because you've been introduced
don't think you can walk up to Polly
at Grant park and take any liberties.
Polly is fairly courteous sometimes.
viii she eat out of your hand? You
bet she will, and eat a large slice out
of it if you're not careful. But she
loves Captain J. w. Norman, Of the
park police. and she has a vocabulary
of slang which would make Silk Hat
Harry feel like last years almanac.
Polly, who came from Brazil several
years ago, was interviewed today as
she climbed over Captain Noman's
uniform. tried to chew off his buttons,
and croaked soft condolences into his
ear
Hello. Bill" was her salutation She
must have seen the Elk pin.
WANT cracker?' asked the re-
porter, not knowing anything else to
say and feeling rather embarrassed.
Jaw, back up" retorted Polly.
Shut up! Look out. Get out of there,
For the Lords sake"
Fine line of conversation, Polly" re
marked the interviewer.
Polly looked at him soberly, cooked
her head on one side, winked at Cap
tai, Norman and grOWled
What dye think Of that?" she eX-
claimed. in evident derision.
Come and play with me-" begged the
interviewer, after the manner of Anna
Held
"Aw. go to HI" retorted Polly And
the interview ceased abruptly.
All those remarks and others are in
Polly's vocabulary. She has a line of
small talk suited to polite CONVERSE
ton, but she seems to prefer the terse
expressions Of the street
She is a fighter. too. She has whip
ped every beast, bird and small boy
who has started anything. and cats
are her particular delight. She has had
the worst of only one scrap recently.
She nearly chewed off the thumb Of
a little girl who tried to fondle her.

the slack period which often follows overtime does not give the supposed op- portunity for leisure and recuperation. IL is Itself season of deprivation. For slack work means slack pay. with a con- sequent loss rather than gain in opportu- nities for recuperatlon.
 But deeper than this objection to the alienation of overworlS and idleness, Is the physiological objection. During over time leisure and rest are cut down at the very same time that heavier and longer demands are made upon the human or gansm. Regular seasonal overtime in such occupations as those cited above. leaves the worker with too great a physi- ological deficit Ther~ is no rebound. Compensation-oftti too late. Fatigue let rln is a debt to be paid at compound interest. It has been shown that output and wages tend 10 rise rather than fall with shortened working hours, so that income is in the long run in- creased. not curtailed.
 No thinking person can deny that in the last resort health is determined by the total standard of living; that besides long hours, poverty and low wages, insanitary tenements and bad food dirt and over | erowding, are the tangled causes of low cred vitality and illness among working people, Nor would we msnimze the phy- | sical effects of mental distress and worry among workers who are only a few months off from real destitution. Yet, so far as the overworked are concerned. all these causes of distress might be re- moved-wases. food. housing and sanita- ton, all be raised to a higher level-and yet the essential cause of breakdown
 would be untouched so long as the few
 extra hours of work remain, as our sup posed critics would call them. The
 shorter work day and relief from over
 strain are not in themselves the cure for
 the ills we have considered; but they are
 the sine qua non without which no other
 cure is possible or conceivable. Just be- cause a fatigued person Is poisoned per son by the accumulation of his own waste products, nothing can fundamentally cure
 the exhausted workers which does not
 eliminate the cause fo,' such accumulated l poisoning

Work Together

There have just met on Lake George representatives of all the leading unoffi- cial organizations of laymen within all of the churches for the purpose of seeing how they might unify their efforts, pre- vent overlapping and put an end to some needless expense for machinery. The bodies represented were the federal coun- ell, which is official and which acted as host, the Brotherhoods, the Y. Nj. c. A., the Gideons. the Sunday chool association the Young Peoples societies, the mission ary education and allied movements
 The meeting brought out the confusion existing in churches because of many appeals, the multiplication of financial appeals. and the fact that practically all of the organizations are aiming at the same things. If was argued that one set of meetings might answer for several if not all, and that by co-ordinating the secretaries some could be done away with end others be made more effective
 Action taken was the naming of a com mittee consisting of Secretary MaeFar- land of the council. Secretary Barbour of the Y. NJ. c. A., and Secretary fficlfs of inc Missionary Education Movement to of one representative of each organiza- ton, which shall consider the relations of organizations to local churches and make 8 report to conference to be called later by eth federal council. The remarkable growth of lay interest among all lines within the past three years has rendered such commission and It's co-ordinating plan, absolutely essential, 1t is held.

Firecrackers Not Patriotic

From laIe.
 We predict that this year there will be more young children saved for the sub sequent use and happiness of their par ents than at any Fourth celebration in this country for many decades
 Little by little the idea of sane Fourth has been percolating into the minds of the American people
 It is still surprising. however, how many casualties actually occur on the Fourth. Last year in this country more than 1500 people. most or them children, of frecrackers and skyroekets.
 Perhaps this article, read by those who have not hitherto realized what a sane Fourth means, may possibly save some child from having his eye put out or his fingers blown off.
 The idea of sane Fourth is perhaps simple. It means to celebrate in every way our independence, except by trying to endanger life by the use of noise and flrecraclxers.
 It Is educational. inasmuch as if gives the opportunity to have patriotic celebra- tions which were not thought of under the cid hrecracker regime.
 There is also more ,eal fun in sane Fourth, owing to it's wholesomeness.
 Let every parent theterore. inform him self about the subject and teach his chi- dren that the use Of firecrackers and fire arms on the Fourth Of July is not only dangerous and foolish, but unpatriotic.

Departure in Education

The Episcopal church has Just perfected it's general board of religious education by the election of q general secrN,ury. He Is the Rev. William E. Gardner. who ha. been for two years secretary of n mis- sionary department that included New England, but who has for years been prominent in Sunday school work It Is stated that he will enter upon his new work at once. The election took place In Philadelphia, but New York will be the headquarters of the new board.
 The step is one that the Episcopal church has been working on for 10 years and it consists in putting Sunday school work upon a broad basis. with Il compre- hensive name. and organizing 1t on the same plan as Is the general board of mis- sions of tire same church The new board will have departments corresponding to those Of the mission board. and eventually If Is expected the departments will have secretaries as do the missionary depart ments
 The new board disclaims effort to per- feet religious education on lines of public schools It states that the basis for such education as 1t seeks to give ia the Chris tian home, not the public school The board will stimulate to higher education, will provide for teacher training and en- deavor to put system into the whole pro- fession of teaching the gospel to chil- dren

POISONING FROM OvERWoRK
By JOSEPHINE GOLDMARIx Publication Secretary National Consumers League

upon a scientific basis Science makes out its case for the short day in indus try.
 Factory litigation has been founded on no priori logic. It has been rather es- Esentially illogical, the result of half way measures and opposing forces. Not man s foresight, but the memorable results of labor long carried on counter to nature s laws, have been on the whole responsible for the meager protection which indus | trial communities have granted their
 workers. Self-interest on the one side, self-defense and philanthropy on the other, hampered by prejudices of every sort-these for the most part have brought | about such protection as exists today. But the laws of fatigue furnish a scientific basis for legislation and an ex- , planation of the effect of over-work on health, output and production. This is the more important because regulation | of the length of working hours has been so bitterly opposed by those who fear that the lessening of the hours of labor means corresponding economic loss From the 1 first dawn of protective legislation In | England over a century ago to the pres ent day, the rallying cry for the most diverse minded opponents of legislation has been the threatened ruin of industry and manufactures. Yet the unconscious | tOnSeHSuS Ol ltStltltOily lIOlil states and countries on the economic benefits of the short day. recorded in of ficial and unofficial documents, is in It's turn as impressive as we found the una nimity of evidence on the physical effects of the long day.
 The essential injury of overtime is due to what has been graphically proved by the ergograph that effort increases with | fatigue, that work continued after fatigue has set in requires so much more sub sequent time for recuperation. But dur | ing a rush or overtime season such time for recuperation is necessarily lacking The girl who is kept in the great depart ment stores until 10 or Il or F o'clock al night during one or two frenzied weeks 1 before the holiday which heralds the reign i of peace; the girl who works at fever heat all evening stitching women's shirt waists in January for the spring trade. is not relieved from the necessity of report ing from work at or o'clock the next morning. She comes to work unrepaired and with each day overtime, accumulated fatigue necessarily grows
 In theory, the requirement. of overtime is supposed to be balanced by the slack period which often follows. A short pc riod of over-exertion is assumed to be compensated by subsequent let-up. But

 During the last century, while many who have seen the practical results of overworl1 in industry and year after year sought a legal remedy, men of various sciences have unknown to them been studying the same phenomena in the lab oratory. Psychologists, chemists, bac- teriologists and psychologists have con tributed to this study. It is the facts brought out by such investigations which as presented by Louis D. Brandeis and Miss Goldmark, have afforded a power full and successful argument before the federal supreme court for upholding state legislation regulating health conditions in industry)
 A tired person is literally and actually q poisoned person-poisoned by his own waste products. But so marvelously is the body constructed that like a running stream it prifies itself and during repose the cast off impurities are normally burned up by the oxygen brought by the blood, excreted by the kidneys, destroyed in the liver, or eliminated from the body through the lungs. So rest repairs fatigue.
 This balance is kept true and fatigue IS repaired just as long as it remains with in physiological limits; mat is, as long as activity is balanced by repose, the ob- noxious products of activity are more quickly eliminated and tissue is rebuilt . The physiological normal phenomenon of fatigue becomes pathological or abnor- nal exhaustion, as soon as the balance between rest and fatigue is destroyed.
 In extreme instances, as when hunted animals drop dead in the chase, they die not from overstrain of any particular or gan, such as the heart. but from sheer chemical poisoning due to the unexpelled waste matter of fatigue.
 The scientific investigations of fatigue in it's varied aspects throw a flood of light upon the intricate injuries of speed, over- time. piece-work and the like industrial requirements. For if fatigue be due to demonstrated chemical action, removable only by proper intervals of rest; if over- fatigue or exhaustion results from the accumulation of chemical fatigue products and the destruction of energy-yieldins material in nerve and muscle tissue; fl strain or labor carried on after fatigue has set in is proved to be more exhaust ing than simple work. and if muscular training outruns nervous strength, ther the need for the shorter work day rests

METHODIST DISPUTE

Not for % years at least has there been such lack of big religious conventions as during the present summer and fall The dearth extends to Europe. Neither in England or on the continent Is anything of importance scheduled. On the mission fields of the far east there Is nothing. In the United States and Canada such want of anything striking has rarely been known. Not a convention of the first grade, Protestant or Catholic, Is scheduled before the end of the calendar year. and hardly anything as yet next winter. Not until the spring and summer of 1913 are big events to come off Such condition Is unprecedented.
 For the last five years missions, unity, evangelism and the great religious organl- zations have been holding national and world conventions in vast numbers. They have been the largest ever held. They have made and revised Christian laws and customs. They have advertised the Cos pei as it was never advertised before Leaders have travelled 10 every part of the globe to be present at them. The far east has had part. Europe has had part. Even the continent of Europe has been regarded, as not heretofore, within the scope of American religious influence.
 The last half of 1912 and the first third of 1913, almost one full year, will see a lull and perhaps a rest. Big events like the world Sunday school convention In Zurich. the Episcopal General convention in America, and perhaps world confer ence on Faith and Order are set for next year. This year, the rest of it, is blank save for routine affairs. One man whose careful record goes back 20 years says there has been no such record before during that period.
