Millions for Antl-Tuberculosis Work.
Money to the amount of over $l4.-
500, 900 was spent in anti-tuberculosis
work during the year 1911, according
to. the third annual statement of ex'
~ ditures in the war against con-
sumption issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. The statement is
based largely on reports received from
anti-tuberculosis agencies in all parts
Of the United States.
4 BY far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatoria
and hospitals, and for the erection Of
institutions of this kind. Over $11 $780,
600 being spent for this purpose alone.
Dispensaries for the examination and
treatment of tuberculosis spent $780,
OOO,. and associations and committees
in their educational campaign against
tuberculosis spent 100000. The re-
naming $1,300,000 was spent for
treatment in open-air schools, prisons
and hospitals for the insane, and also
for the work of state and local boards
of health against tuberculosis.

The kinglet, smaller than any Of our birds, save
the ruby throated humming bird alone. manages
to live through all the cold Northern winter and
be all the while as cheerful as a robin in April.
The knglet, as far as the experience Of one per-
son is concerned at least. prefers to get his sum-
mer food in the thick bushes, and seemingly has
a preference for those which are near clambering
vines. The kinglets cast about for likely places
in which to pass the winter. As far as can be
ascertained they simply get into the heart OF some
thickly twigged bush through which run vine
branches and there all night long they defy both
cold and snow. ~
The great northern shrike, which is due in the
northern states from it's summer home in the
British possessions about October I, spends his
nights close to the bole of an evergreen tree.
There is little clump of evergreens we'll within
the limits of the CITY Of Chicago where half
dozen of these birds roost nightly from October
to March. Inasmuch as they live on diet OF
English sparrows and spend all the daylight hours
in the laudable vocation of killing the imported
feathered pest the exact location OF their roostng
place will not be given for fear some champion
of the sparrow might disturb the rest Of these
feathered friends, whom many are unktnd enough
to call butcher birds.
As a matter of fact one need feel little anxiety
for the welfare of the birds that stay with us in
winter The nursery ditty Of what will the robin
do then poor thing?" is tearcompelling but the
robin, the buebird, the jay, and the chickadees
will all care for themselves and will feel no envy
of man in his steam-leated fat.
During the bitter weather Of winter while peo-
pie with hearts in the right places are scattering
crumbs and seeds at their doorsteps for the little
feathered land visitors, the great city of Chicago
as a whole is doing its best to feed the storm
blown birds of Lake Michigan. Not all the sew

The Railroads and Legislation
Editorial from the Evening Sun, Baltimore.

Recently Senator Maloy introduc-
ed bill in the senate at Annapolis
requiring the railroads of the State
to place extra crews on passenger
trains under certain circumstances.
A few days before, Senator Hammond
introduced bill providing for the
taxation of stocks and bonds hold by
railroad companies upon which no
taxes now are paid. Recently the
Interstate Commerce Commission
handed down a decision to the effect
that the railroads may be required to
carry certain classes OF freight at a
loss if existing rates are necessary to
enable small dealers to compete with
their larger rivals. The railway
engineers on all the lines east of
Chicago are preparing for strike in
case their demands for higher pay
are not acceded to. Meanwhile the
railroads are not permitted to increase
any of their rates on any classes of
goods.
Isn't it about time to give the rail
roads fair chance to earn 6 per
cent dividend on their stock? Doubt
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-15

that when a train reaches the border
line of these States a new man steps
into the caboose and remains there
until the train reaches the other
border. He has no real work to do,
but his name goes on the payroll.
Here is certainly bad economics.
Waste labor is profitable neither to
employer or employee.
OF course every corporation should
be obliged to pay it's just share of
taxation, to be decent to its en-
ployees and fair to it's customers and
to regard the just rights of the public.
The railroads of Maryland have offend
ed in these respects in the past, as
have the railroads of other States:
But the time has come, we believe,
for stop to be put upon punitive
legislation.

Our knowledge of Gaelic or Erse is
too limited to be very helpful, but
among musical Irish names we recall
Grainia (Grace), Moyra or MORA
Mary, Mona, Oonah, Maureen and
Brigid or Bride, an old form OF
Bridget. Deirdre is beautiful
name, but it is associated in legend
or history with that most unhappy
Irish princess who was called "Deirdre
of the hundred sorrows" Mairenn is
a variant of Maureen. SheIa or
Sheila is the Irish form of Cecilia;
Meve is Maud. Other attractive
names are Brenda, TIA, Ailin (Ellen),
Aine (Anne), Fedelma, Fiala, Nesta,
Nuala. We infer that Nesta is a
form OF Agnes, as Nest was medieval
English form of that name. ID.
