MAKING FRIENDS WITH BIRDS
Many Ways by Which Good Relations
With the Songsters May Be
Established.

Some birds are on quite intimate
terms with the children of men,"
None are more SO, perhaps, than the
wee nutbrown wrens. No birds are
more interesting, or may be more cas-
lily watched, for these tiny creatures
need only the encouragement of the
right kind of westinghouse to take up
their abode almost at ones very door
For some years a pair of these birds
(the same wrens apparently returning
each spring. have nestled in cigar
box tied to one of the pillars of my
porch Regardless of the fact that
this porch is a veritable outdoor liv-
ing-room from which some Of the fam
lily are seldom absent, the birds have
carried on their housekeeping and fed
their wee babies entirely unmindful
of us.
The secret of success in Turing
wrens is that the hole in the box pro
vided is small enough. The outline
of a twenty-five cent piece is just the
right size. Bluebirds, martens, and
sparrows also, nest in houses provided
for their use; but such boxes must be
placed some distance from the home
if they are occupied, as these birds
are moro yfmid.
The fascinating little humming
birds are easily won by growing GER
tain flowers to their liking The long
throated blossoms, such as foxglove,
lobeiia (cardinals), honeysuckle, pc.
tuna and phylox, secrete the partic
ular brand of honey evidently the
most pleasurable to these dainty
BIRDS and wherever such flowers
bloom, humming birds are sure to be
frequent visitors Massed shrubbery
will tempt cdtbirds and thrushes to
hide their nests among the leafy
shade.
Peanuts, knotted along a string
that is also tightly secured, will in
evitably bring nuthatches and other
of the tiny tree tappers. No trapeze
performance could be more daring
than the feats accomplished by these
birds when they are at work extract
ing the kernels from the nuts on the
string.-Woman's Home Companion

VARIETY AND USES or TEARS
Their. Are as Many klnds as There

Statement.

A Danish professor is quoted as
sa. s,s that tears are an antiseptic.
They destroy microbes. They not

are healing as well. They viii hasten
recovery If applied TO any luxury All

as a preventive. their value as a
weapon. their power as lever. etc.
all these were knowA long before Doc
tor Lindahl of Copenhagen studied
their effect upon microbes and their
employment in flushing the nasal
ducts
Tears have so close a relation with
the human heart that their infinite va
riety of uses are devoted to 8 greater
or less extent in almost every individ-
ual. says q writer in the Pittsburg

Federal Protection for Birds.

By an act of the last congress
ment the whole system of protec-
ton of the wild birds of the United
States was changed. This bill will go
into effect at once, but the existing
state laws will remain as they are I'M
til the department of agriculture has
prepared new federal regulations for
the governing of the protection of
game and insectivorcus birds in all
sections of the Union. This matter
lis of interest to every sportsman and
every market man, to every farmer
and to every bird lover, no matter in
what state of the Union he lives.
1t should be said that the federal
laws will have no control of non-mi-
gratory birds, whether they be game
birds or song birds. This limits the
action of the law very little, however.
because comparatively few birds re-
main within the borders Of any one
state through the twelve months of
the year One or two examples may
be given, however, of birds which
probably must depend hereafter, for
the protection of their lives and of
their families from actual extinction
on the action of state legislatures.
The ruffed grouse. called the partridge
in many states and the pheasant in
other states, is a non-migratory bird,
at least it probably will be so de-
cided 10 be by the department of agri-
culture. The prairie chicken also is
non-mlgratory and it probably also
must depend upon state protection.
but nearly all the other birds of the
United States. game, insectivorous and
song, are migratory and hereafter will

Charity Without pauperism.

A great defect Of many charitable
schemes is their tendency to pauper-
iae the beneficiaries. This is over
come by one of the methods adopted
by the Robert Browning settlement at
Vealworth, which supplies boots to
POOR children. The footgear is hand
ed over in return fol the payment by
the parents of q. small weekly rent
until the retail price has been covered
After the final payment the boots still
remain the property Of the settlement
without whose permission they cal
neither be sold nor pawned.-Londor

let, alone undue excitement. in the
expressed desire OF the president OF
the United States to sit for few
hours each week under the same
dome of the capitol where he would
be in easy reach of such members as
might like to consult him or as he
might like to consult, but anything
which breaks precedent in Washing
ton raises comment, stir and frequent
ly strong opposition. There is moth
ing in the Constitution or laws of
the United States to prevent the pres
ident from making his Office any
where that he wishes in the city OF
Washington, and if his desire is to
have branch Office in the capitol,
nothing can be done tC prevent 1t. and
very likely there is no reason except
that OF tradition and precedent why
it should be prevented.
Has No UIterior Motive.
No one in Washington has been
found to say that he thinks for an in
slant Mr.. Wilson has any intention
of coming over to the capitol to make
his will dominant" They think that
his desire in the matter is entirely
democ- attic, and that it is born OF
wish to be in a closer and a more re-
sponsive touch with the members than
would be the case If he spent all his
time in the White House while con-
gress is in session. This feeling of
an utter absence of any untoward in
tention on Mr. Wilson's part has not,
however. prevented criticism. and 1t
has come not only from members of
opposition parties but from members
of his own party. The thing probably
will prove after a little to have been
only tempest in a teapot.
If the executive authority ever is
used wrongfully to influence legisla-
ton, it can be so used at the White
House just as readily as at the cap
itol. In fact, the observer of years
in Washington knows perfectly well
that if a president wants to make his
will felt he is much more liable to
attempt it at a distance rather than
from the capitol, where all the mem
bers in way would be watching him
Every day of the parts of the year
when congress is in session scores of
senators and representatives go to the

When the president wants TO see a
member alone he. takes him into his
private office and closes the doors.
What passes there no one knows, un-
less the president or his visitor
chooses to disclose it, and the visitor

One reason for the change Is
ttat the mailing of parcels will be
expedited. 1t always seems to be
the rule that at Christmas time
when the rush is on and someone
goes up to the stamp window and
has a package weighed for postage
rates, that the sender has to stop,
take off his glove, run his ton

Ralph McEntire Of Topeka win At
tend Convention.

The best Sunday school building
in the state. according to Secretary
]. H. EngIe. is that OF the First NJ
e. church in Topeka, and, logically,
It houses one OF the best Sunday
schools in the state. The one man
who through its recent years OF
marked progress has been the NOV
ing spirit, is Ralph McEntire. a
prosperous young business man OF
the capital city.
The program committee of the
Dickinson county Sunday school as
ISOLATION has been in session and ID
able to announce three numbers
from Mr.. McEntire for the county
convention which will be held at
Abilene November 1929, instead OF
in the spring as has been the Gus
tom for many years. The theme of
the convention is Efficient Super
vision" and the slogan is Every
superintendent at the county con-
vention." The unique feature will
be the "superintendents' supper" at
which all the Sunday school super
intendents in Dickinson are expected
to sit down together the evening of
Nov. 90.
Among the guests of honor and
speakers for the occasion are G. G.
Buckley and Howard c. Rash of Sa-
lima; James H. Little of Lacrosse,
chairman of the state executive
committee, also is expected to be
present. Mrs. S. A. Chapel of
Minneapolis, state superintendent of
elementary work, will likewise give
series of addresses. The COM
plete program will be ready for pub
lication soon.
