A system Of perching rods. like .
huge spiders web, Is to be placed on
all lighthouses on the coast Of France
to afford roosting places for the great
numbers of tired birds which would
otherwise perish nightly while migrat
ing north or south. It is not that the
birds dash themselves against the
glass, but, bewildered by the glare
and already tired by their oversee
flight, hey fly round and round It till
they fall exhausted and die through
sheer weakness.
The arrangement already has baen
placed on the Terschelling light and
one night It was calculated that 1000
chaffinches and larks slept there, and
thus refreshed, winged on their merry
way next morning.
On another night 5000 fleldfares
were seen. while hardly dead bird
was found, whereas the same night
other lighthouses without such perch
ing rods were surrounded by heaps
of thousands of dead birds.

Mr.. Renfew consulted two different

They Buy Homes.

SO far as we are able to Judge
from the business done by our clients,
automobile sales in Atlanta have been
exceptionally good for the period
which began January l." says Joseph
N Moody, of the Auto Credit Sales
Company.
The automobile firms whom we
represent as a credit clearing house
report an increase over last season.
Sales probably would be larger
yet If we did not check them. Anus
ing as the idea may seem, we are in
a sense philanthropists, for we are
saving the people from themselves, in
this way: Suppose man with mod
crate income tries to buy an auto
on time. We investigate carefully.
