Concentration OF Responsibility.

The mayor of Bristol, Tenn, objects to the
commission form of government for that town
on the score that Capitalization Of power dele
gated to a few individuals is dangerous to any
government, great small"
The Herald Courier replies that centraliza-
ton of power is really one of the most COM
mendable features of commission government.
with Capitalization of power il adds. comes
rehabilitation of responsibility. and of
the opinion that the average Bristolan would
welcome a change that at least would enable
him to fix the responsibility for the manner in
which this that department of the city gov
eminent is conducted"
That liz the most attractive feature of all in
the commission form Of government, for it is
the basis upon which this form Of government
rests. 1t 'simplihes' responsibility well as
the machinery of government and gives the pub
lie daily and hourly opportunity to go to the
men who responsible and bring them to
book.
Putting the worst construction upon it, it is
better to have concentrated responsi bility than
responsibility so dissipated and diffused that no
citizen find IT and lay hold upon it.-NeW-

book has been written on The Bust
ness of Being Woman. The club
women all over the State seem to be
awakening to q new sense of the
work they can do together which they
cannot accomplish separately, just as
women all over the world are realiz-
ing that they have a sense of fellow
ship, and that the actual business of
being a woman can be dignified by
organization.
Our State organization must and
will continue to grow even more rap
idly-not entirely because of the work
of the federation, but because of the
spirit for united effort that is per-
meating all womanhood.
This coming growth means that
we must take closer heed of our or
ganization methods. The federation
today has grown to an unwieldy size,
and we must make plans for it to
continue growing. The Minneapolis
Woman's Club employs a field secre-
tary at "a good salary, to keep it's
records, do research work, and bind
the work of its several committees.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
CrippIed-up Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses of Croxone
are Taken

1t Is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood. the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and 1t is useless
to rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new
discovery, Croxone, does this because
it neutralizes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
to scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism, and cleans out and
strengthens the stopped up, inactive
kidneys, so they can filter all the
poison from the blood, and drive it
on and out of the system
Croxone Is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for chronic rheu-
matism, kidney troubles, and bladder
disorders. You win find it different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like 1t. 1t
matters not how old you are, or how
long you have suffered, IL is prac-
tically impossible to take it into the
human system without results. You
will find relief from the first few
doses, andsyou will be surprised how
quickly all misery and suffering will

BIRD LANGUAGE

California has a bird that COM
municates, one might almost say by
word of beak, with it's fellows in
language all its own. This is the Cali
fornia bushtit, to be found through
the entire length of the state west
of the Sierras. The whole bird is only
a trifle over four inches. in length and
half that length is occupied by it's
tail Though nearly related to the
chickadee, common in the East, it
has quite different appearance,
having none of the latter's black and
white recognition marks but being
of very plain grayish brown.
For some nine months out of the
year the California bushtits fly to-
gether in bands of from Is to 25.
There are rarely as many as 80 in
one flock. They never fly high, or
any length of distance, but loiter
about feeding between brush clumps
and scrub-oaks. Yet they do not stay
very long in any particular spot. To-
ward evening, and occasionally at
other times when the birds are not
feeding. the focks move about more
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-04-02


tree to tree, but they never fly in
stance, the innets or the blackbirds
1t often happens that one of the band
lags behind far enough to have lost
sight of his fellows. AS soon as he
realizes his loneliness he becomes
frightened, flies to the highest perch
in the neighborhood and utters a
number of the simple sing sounds
they usually pipe whilst feeding, but
interspersed with shrill, quavering
cries. His companions Immediately
answer similarly from the distance
and continue this until the stray one
has once more joined the pack!
When danger is near, as when a
hawk approaches, the bushtits first
noticing the enemy utter several
sharp alarm cries and then COM
mence with a shrill, quavering pip
ing. The rest of the flock at once re-
spond. After having once more
started this danger song none of the
little birds move, and they keep. their
attitude, place and position until all
danger is past. Even if the. hawk
comes very close they do not inter
rupt their shrin and monotonous
chorus which constitutes very con-
fusing and penetrating sound and
which somehow makes it absolutely
impossible to locate by it any single
one of the singers
But it is this very chorus of uncer-
tain direction which, combined with
their non-committal color and mo-
tionless attitude, constitutes their
protection from all kinds of living
danger. The sound they collectively
produce is such that their enemies
want to leave it behind them; their
coloring closely harmonizes with that
of the shadows of the foliage; and
since they remain motionless, they
can easily be confused with. the sur
rounding vegetation.

COLLEGE WOMEN HOSTESSES
TO Girl, GRADUATES

The Birmingham chapter of the South
ern Association of College Women es-
tablished yesterday a festivity which
they propose to make an annual event of
the spring season. They entertained the
girls of the senior classes of Margaret
Allen, Seminary and High school with
receptio nat the University club.
The social interest in this pleas
function is not it's most important phase
for with the girls who are just compet-
ing their high school studies surrounded
by women representatives of the institu-
tutions for higher education in this coun-
try telling of the superior advantages
offered by college work, it was an in
spirational event. The various colleges
north and south, which are represented
in the local chapter, had literature and
pennants bedeclling each separate table.
The school flower-or If that is out of
season, its color-was in evidence on the
table set apart for 1t, and during the tea
hour the girls had recourse to the tables
for investigation of facts about the var
ious institutions. This followed a brief
programme composed of talks by five
of the hostesses. Mrs. Henry upson
Sims, former president of the Rirming-
ham branch of the Southern Association
of College Women gave the address of
of welcome. She was followed by Mfs.
e. e. Ellis, who presented a short talk
on 'Co-education in the North,'' by Miss
Julia Bergman, who talked of the cas-
tern colleges for women; by Mrs j. j.
Eaton, on Southern Colleges for Wom-

education in the South as Exemplified
by the University of Alabama The
programme was interspersed by musical
selections. Miss Florence Smith of the

lection and one of the Birmingham high
school girls played a deighteful violin
solo.
