what may he called the hygiene Of
sport is an idea adopted in Berlin, with

the CharIottenburg municipal authOrl-

The idea had its origin in a depart
ment Of the hygiene exhibition held ut
Dresden. in which everything that could
throw light on the influence Of sports
and gymnastic exercises on the human
organism was brought together.
Special attention was paid to bodily
measurements arising under different
conditions and from different muscu-
lar exercises. and particular observa-
ton was directed to the good and
harmful effect of the several sports
and gymnastics on the human body
and it's members.

out the United States resulting from
the growth of such insect pests rs
were formerly kept in check by the
now rapidly disappearing birds.
The ;nnual loss to the country
through insect pests amounts to about
$500. 100000. This sun would rebuild

sufficient to endow %thirty-two new
universities in the sum of $lU.OOO.0 600

There arc 20. OOO. 900 school children
in this country. and the cost OF educa-
ton is the heaviest tax laid on the
people. yet it costs millions of dollars
more to feed the insect pests than to
educate the children.
This is why state after state is pass
ing laws against pump guns against
the killing of great numbers of game
birds. against spring shooting, against
the slaughter of all insectivorous and
song birds. against the wearing of
birds heads and wings as ornaments
and against the continued and pro-
greSSive destruction OF wild bird life Of
almost every description.
