Beautiful cOiOred slides, showing
the gay plumage, the nests and the
eggs of the different birds added i'll
terest to the talk.
DIR. Rowan cleared the reputation
OF several of the much maligned
birds (such as the -bird) and
urged the present early Springtime
as the. best time for the cultivation
of an acquaintance with our inter
esting feathered friends.
The first slide shown was of the
distinctly American bird-the rob-
III, which the speaker stated, sub
sists on diet averaging ixty-eight
worms daily. Another favorite was
that of the wood-thrush whose notes
are considered by most bird lovers
the clearest and best. The speaker,
however, favored the orchard oriole
and song sparrow rather than the
thrush. Grateful mention was
made of the part played in the de-
struction of caterpillars by the yel-
lowbilled cuckoo; the prevention of
the spreading of the troublesome
thistle by goldfinches and the saw
ing of the cotton plants by the mar
tins Of the South.
The speaker had found number
of the more unusual birds in the
fine old trees on the grounds ad-
joining the Welsh Tract Meeting
House, and along the banks of the
nearby stream.

ARB0R AND BIRD DAY
PROCLAMATION

After the mild winter which nature has
bestowed on Mother Earth we can well
appreciate the impatience of the various
trees and shrubs to burst forth their buds
and blossoms. The tinge of Spring
which has been in the air for some weeks
will soon cause these buds and blossoms
to awaken from their winters nap and
with their awakening will come the song
of the birds moving North as harbngers
of Spring.
In order that the people of this State
may fully appreciate the benefits to be
derived from these forerunners of Spring,
and the attention which should be given
to their care and protection, !, Charles X.
Miller, Governor of the State of Della

PEOPLES COLUMN
d.. Rowan's Lecture Apprec-
lated

To the Editor of the Newark Post :
Permit me as lover of birds TO
express my pleasure at the long
step in the right direction which
was taken on Wednesday evening
last when DR.. Rowan gave his lee
ture on "Our Bird NeighbOrs. y
The lecturer had evidently given
much time and thought to the per-
so:Ial observations which formed
the basis of his lecture 1t is this
personal contact with bird life
which vitalizes the subject and
awakens an interest in the aesthetic
and economic value Of birds.
The conservation of our natural
resources has become national
problem but not until the American
citizen appreciates the enormous
economic value Of bird life will the
slaughter of our feathered neigh
bors cease. How many of our cit
izens realize that the killing Of our
DlTuS lllcdIlS--
A great increase in the hOrdes of
destructive insects.
A corresponding decrease in ag-
ricultural products on which these
insects feed:
And an increased cost Of living
to all consumers Of these products.
1t would enhance our apprecia-
ton Of our feathered friends if we
considered the value of the few
species Of insect-feeding birds
which destroy the codling moth
and curculiO apple pest. The loss
from these insect pests alone
amounts to SS,250,OOO annually for
spraying and $12,OOO,OOO annually
in shrinkage in value of the apple
crop.
Statistics compiled by experts in
the Department of Agriculture es-
innate the total loss due to the raw
ages of insect pests as 1920, 100000
annually. Surely the protection Of
bird life would be an economical
means of saving our crops.
The presence of the Boy Scouts
as a body in the audience indicates
that the work has been begun at the
right end Of the line. AS there is
so much of interest and value in
bird life it is to be hoped that the
Boy Scouts will organize into socie-
ties for the study and protection Of
the birds in the vicinity Of Newark.

opportunity to know the provisions
Of the 'Sewer Bill, y we are releas-

do his best toward the execution of
this personal and civic duty.

neer of Wilmington, will be pre-

 The defense is worse than the of fense. It takes me back to Bath Beach
 "A young lady at Bath Beach had occasion to complain about one of the bathhouse attendants, an old fellow who in the hurry of cleaning up would sometimes burst in upon her in her bathhouse without knocking
 One morning after this had hap pened for the sixth or seventh time the young lady took the old fellow to task
 See here, Peters, she said, there's no lock on my bathhouse, as you know, and 1 must insist on your knock ing before you enter. It hasn't hap pened yet, but it might very well hap pen, that you'd come in on me when 1 was all undresed.'
 Peters, with chuckle, hastened to reassure the young lady on this point

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard Of ghosts, but none of us have ever seen one. It's the same way with coca cola "fiends" ycu can hear about them but you might search for them until doom's day and you would never find one. Physicians who have treated hundreds of thousands of drug-habit cases, including opium, nor phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that they have never seen case where the use of Coca-Cola has so fastened itself upon the individual as to constitute habit in the true sense of the word. Al though millions of glasses of Coca-Cola are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola fiends have ever made themselves vis- ible at the doors of the sanitariums for the treatment of drug habits
 The Coca-Cola habit Is analogous to the heefsteak habit and to the straw berry habit and the ice cream habit. People drink Coca-Cola first because they see it advertised and thereafter because it tastes good and refreshes their minds and bodies. They drink it when they can get it and contentedly do without it when they cant get it. If you had ever witnessed the rawlings of a real drug fiend when deprived of his drug, if you had ever observed the agony he suffers, you would never again be so unfair as to mention Coca Cola in the same breath with the "habit-forming" drugs.-Ady.

PANTRY CLEANED A Way Some People Have.
A doctor said:

A doctor said:
 Before marriage my wife observed in summer and country homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discr' -ainating ten dencies, that the families using Pos tum seemed to average better than those using coffee.
 When we were married two years ago, Postum was among our first order of groceries. We also put in some tea and coffee for guests, but after both had stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only.
 Up to the age of 28 I had been ac- customed to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly from in digestion and all it's relative disorders. Since using Postum all the old com plaints have completely left me and sometimes wonder if ever had them"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich. Write for booklet, "The Road to Wallville."
 Postum comes in two forms.
 Regular (must be boilea).
 Instant Postum doesn't require boil. ing but is prepared instantly by stir ring level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water. which makes it right for most persons
 A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
 Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future.
