F|REMEN ARE GIVEN
DAY OFF EVERY WEEK
Auto Will Replace Horses at
Central StatiOn-Six
More Men

Upon the recommendation of President
Culpepper Exum and A. V. Bennett,
chief of the fire department, one day in
seven will be allowed fremen rather than

ment here one of the most efficient and

ENGLISH SPARROW
BEYOND THE PALE
No Mercy Should Be Shown
Greatest Bird Pest
HOW TO KILL THEM
Government Biologists Bring Strong
Indictment and Call Them the
Rodents of the Bird
Kingdom
HOW TO KILL THEM

Washington, March 19.-(Special.)- J.
That the English sparrow has been proved
to be the rodent of the bird kingdom is
the finding of the governments biologists
This specie of birds has been likened to
the rat among animals in that it is cum
ming, destructive and filtny. Out of o22
English sparrows' sfomachs examined by
the Biological Survey, AZ contained nox-
ious insects. so held beneficial insects, and
81 contained insects OF little or no conse-
quence. It is a great devastator of wheat
and other grains, whether newly sown,
ripening or in shocks.
1t has been ascertained that a flock of
50 sparrows consumes daily the eauiva-
lent of a quart of wheat, thus making
the loss accomplished by this pest very
great in this country. The sparrow has
and is reducing the number of some of
the countrys' most useful and attractive
native birds, such a bluebirds, house
wfens, purple martins, tree. swallows, cliff
swallows, and barn swallows, catbird.
robin and mocking bird 1t defiles build
ings, ornamental trees, shrubs and vines
with its filth and bulk nests.
The evidence against the English SPAR
row, according to the Biological survey,
is overwhelming, and nowhere is it In
cluded among protected birds. The Bio
logical survey recommends destroying
this bird pest by destroying its nests and
eggs, trapping and shooting AS spar
rows are accustomed to feed in fioeks, the
survey finds that by batting them with
grein, many can be killed by using No. 10
shoot. The use of traps is strongly rec
commended by the department. This bird
was introduced in this country a little
more than 60 years ago, and is now dis
tributed over nearly all of the United
States and Canada, and multiplying with
grave rapidity. A campaign of externi-
nation is recommended to free city and
country of this filthy, destructive rat of
the bird Kingdom the English sparrow.

TO TAKE CASES OF
CASTRO AND MYLIUS
TO COURT OF APPEALS

washington, March 19.-United States
District Attorney Wise was instructed
by the department of justice today to
take the question of the right of Cip-
riano Castro, former president of vene-
zuela, and Edward F. Mylius, the Eng
lish journalist, to enter and remain in
the United States as visitors to the
United States circuit court of appeals
former Secretary Nagers orders of de-
cision of the district court reversing
former Secretary Nagels' orders of de-
portation. Castro was ordered exclud-
ed by Mr.. Nagel because he refused to
answer certain questions propounded
by the immigration authorities, and
Mylius because he had been convicted
in London of libelling King George. At
first the department intended to take
the cases directly to the supreme court
but this plan was changed today.

Protection Against Bron-
chitis and Pneumonia

Into a pitcher put tablespoonful of
butter, one-quarter cup light brown
sugar, an ounce of fresh, whole alspice
and a pint of Duffys pure malt whis-
key. Let 1t stand for half an hour; then
add one-half pint boiling water. Let 1t
stand again for a short while, ana be-
fore serving stir well and add the Juice
of one orange and one lemon. This is
to be served in a wine glass.
1t is very wholesome, appeuzing and
strengthening, especially for fever and
chills in stormy and clustering weather.
Prompt action on such occasions Will
ward off many a serious and oft-time
fatal attack of bronchitis and pneu-

Surprise to England

London, March 19.-The announce
ment of President Wilson that his ad-
ministration had declined to request
the American bankers of the six power
group to continue their negotiations in
connection with the $125,000,000 loan to
China, came as a complete surprise to
the British government.
Only yesterday Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary, in a written
reply to question in the house of
commons as to the position of affa' rs,
said the terms of the loan had the
unanimous approval of the six powers
Interested. This reply was hardly in
print when the news came of the de-
cision, Of the American government
There has been good deal of dissat-
isfaction in London with the loan me-
gotiations for exactly the same rea-
sons that President Wilson gives for
the withdrawal of the support of the
United States
Those publicists and papers which
have been opposing Great Britain's
support of the group take considerable
satisfaction over the American action
and predict that with the withdrawal
of the American bankers the whole
scheme will fall through. They point
out that Japan and Russia have no
money to lend and that Germany at
present has nothing to spare for China

Investigate the Plan

You have an old dining room, bed
room, living room suite or few odd
pieces in your home you would like to
get rid of to replace with new and
modern furniture. The HOOD &
WHEELER "New Furniture for
Old" plan makes it easy.
--Come down to the big home flrni-
ture store and select the furniture you
want. We will buy all your old furni-
ture, paying the full worth, and you
apply this money on your new pur-
chases.
By this dignified, business like plan
you are able to dispose of the furni-
ture you're tired of at a good price.
We operate two exclusive second hand stores
one at 2111 Second avenue, and the other at
2o11-13 Fourth avenue. All the old furniture
bought and taken in exchange is sold at these
stores. No second hand nor for that matter
sshopworn" furniture is permitted at the big
regular Third avenue store. BY this means
we readily sell all old furniture we can buy,
and naturally can pay generous prices for
YOUR OLD FURNITURE.

example, the Church ought to
be uncompromising. Person
ally l would punish the men as
we'll as the women who con-
tribute to sexual immortality.
l would 60 farther and punish
the men more severely than the
women, who are often the vic
Tins of men, and who in any
case are more severely pun
ished by nature and by society.
Nothing in the teachings OF
Christ justihes the conven-
tional morality which places
upon one partner to a sin the
sole burden of expiation. What
future is there for children, re-
pudiated by their fathers, often
deserted by their unhappy and
helpless mothers, save a future
of pauperism and crime? For
these society pays. The trouble
with very large group of peo-
pie is that they have not only a
double standard of morals,
they have treble, a quadruple
standard, in other words no
standard at all. They have
slipped all moorings. What
the Church must do is to
awaken in the individual the
sense Of personal responsibility
to God. The power of God is,
in the end, the only regenera-
ting influence in the world. All
others are superficial and tenn
porary. The question in every
heart, eff man die shall he
live again?" means more than
physical death and resurrec-
ton, it means moral regenera-
ton, which the Church holds
out as possibility to every
human soul.
