bids him-or he imagines II does-to en-

lecture and certain forms of decoration
he has created a school of his own. It
is not only that the Turkish quarter of
any Anatolian town is more picturesque
than the others: the old palace of the
sultanS in ConStantinople, certain old
houses / have seen. the mosques, the
theological schools. the tombs, the foun-
tains of the Turks, are an achievement
which deserves a more serious study than
has been given it. You may tell me that
these things are not Turkish, because
they were modelled after Byzantine origi
nails or because Greeks and Persians had
much to do with building them. But l
shall answer that every architecture was
our own, and that, after all, 1t was the
Turk who created the opportunity for the
foreign artist and ordered what he
wanted.

Indestructibility Of Home.


No matter how many girls spurn house
work, homes will still exist. No matter
how many women stink discouraged into
hotels and boarding houses, the best of
families will always live in separate
homes No matter how many men re-
main unmarried, the majority will al
ways have wives and children. The mil
lennium itself will not be without
the family. Hotels and boarding
houses. even, are merely megathe-
ranized homes; and matter how
much sensible cooperation in wash
ing and sewing. cooking and the care of
children and sick folk. may be COM
passed, even those millenniares will still
have beds to be made, floors to be swept,
doors to be tended. clothes to be sorted,
buttons to be sewn on. papers to be
burned dishes to be washed. errands 10
be run and windows TO be locked. Folks
may live without concerts and trolley
cars and books, but they cannot live
without sleeping. dressing. and eating,
sickness. visitors and children: nor can
they live without that perpetual disorder
that has to be perpetually cleared up.
and that perpetual disintegration of the
material universe which has to be per-
petually swept up. Domestic work there
will always be. The family itself may
do it, or they may pay some one else
to do it. or they may do part and pay
some one else to do part; but done ii
must be.

HARMLESS Wild BIRDS
Of GREAT USE TO MAN
English Writer Argues for
Preservation of Foes to
Tsetse Flies.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

ofeisn correspondence Of The Star
LONDON. May ~ 1918.
Sir Harry III. Johnston has written a
letter to the Times on the preservation of
rare. useful, beautiful and harmless wild
birds. He says it is the duty, and almost
the obligation of governments to deal
with this subject intelligently and with a
definite purpose. He continues:
Among the hundred-and-one reasons 1
have adduced for the protection of birds
especially in the tropics, was the fact
that many species in Africa fed on the
tsetse flies. They are. in fact in common
with certain reptiles. the only effective
enemies Of the tsetse fly. had noticed
personally, from 1883 onward a contfn-
ually increasing destruction OF certain
birds in West and West Central Africa
which feed on the tsetse fly, among other
items in their diet
Noted as Coincidence
''Coincidentally during this period there
has seemed to be q decided increase Of
tsetse flies in the coast regions OF West
Africa and In the Kongo basin. At the
same time, trypanosomatous diseases.
conveyed by this genus ("Glossina'D, have
greatly extended their ravages 1t Is per-
MISSILE to assume, therefore, as several
French writer's on West Africa have as
sumed, and as the late George Grenfell
was beginning to assume in his diaries,
that there Is some connection between the
destruction of white herons. rollers, bee
eaters, Shrikes, guinea-fOwl (the guinea

and probably eat them in that STAGE. and
other birds, and the apparent increase of
the tSetse in nninhabited places and the
consequent spread of sleeping sickness.
Sacrifice Is Harmful.
Il have personally noted the eating of
tsetse flies by almost all the species men
toned. / do not pretend that they do not
devour all other flies that come in their
way, but | do say that the destruction
of the egrets and smaller herons, of roll
ers. decorators. etc. does remove one OF
the few means We have of checking the
increase of the tsetse.
'tOf course the tsetse question is only
one among hundred other reasons fol
putting stop forever to the destruction
of birds. merely, or mainly, for the ignoble
purpose of using their plumage for the
adornment of the human person. There
