BEAUTIFUL
TOWN ENCOURAGES BIRDS
TO FIGHT THE INSECTS
srooIIine, Mass, Puts Up Boxes For
It's Feathered Aids.

Besides being one of the wealthies
towns in the. United States, Brookline
Mass. has an ambition to be a bir(
sanctuary.
The forestry commission began i
when it placed 100 nest boxes in trees
throughout the town, members of the
Brookline Bird club promising to watch
them. The state fish and game com
mission has sent it's wagdens into tn.
towns to stop shooting of birds and thu
annual town meeting authorized the
selectmen to appoint special birt
warden.
All this activity is largely aimed to
get effective aid in the fight with vari
GUS insects that prey on vegetation
The gypsy moth and the brown tai
moth have been fought with vigor and
much success. Now it is the leopard
moth that is feared, and it is to in
crease the number Of feathered foes OF
all these insects that the forestry de
partment is not only. putting up free
apartments for woodpeckers and other
hole nesting birds on private property
where people agree to watch and report
on them. but they are also putting up
similar boxes along the public streets
and in the public grounds.
The officials say that nowadays peo.
pie SO clean up the dead wood and so
carefully prune the shade and orchard
trees that hole nesting birds have nc
chance for a home under ordinary con.
ditions. They look in vain for suit
able nesting sites and regretfully pass
on to more favorable regions, leaving
city shade trees prey to pests.
The Brookline Bird club. which,
though less than a year old. has 800
members, is now holding an exhibition
in the town hall to stimulate public In
terest in bird life. There they show
handsomely mounted specimens of the
native birds and an interesting variety
of bird boxes. feeding stations and bird
baths. Many Of the bird houses were
made by pupils in the town schools.
some of them so we'll constructed and

Much Rubbish Removed az Result o

MUCH AuooiSn Removed AZ neSOt Of
Crusade In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is to be congratulated
according to Chief Connell Of the high
way bureau, on the cooperative work
done by citizens and municipality dur
ing the recent cleanup week. He
added that the city was healthier
more attractive and in less danger
from fire as result of the ''spotless
town. crusade.
Illustrating the enormous quantity
Of waste material collected by the
contractors, the bureau estimated that
if piled together the stuff would cover
city block 800 feet square to height
of about forty feet. or to the roof Of a
three story dwelling house. More than
$50 carts and teams. and 1000 or more
men were engaged in removing the
rubbish placed on sidewalks.
Another and specially healthy result
attained was the clearing of upward
Of 800 vacant lots Of accumulations of
all kinds. The "all kinds" included
the bodies Of dead dogs. cats and rats.
besides aged vegetables and fruit and
kitchen refuse. Mr. .Gonnell argues
that inasmueh as these vacant lots are
now clean. and therefore more attrac-
tive. peopieswill be careful not to use
them again for household waste dumps
The chief believes that citizens gen
orally will constitute themselves volun-
tary inspectors to see that the lots are
kept In good shape.
The thousands of tons Of rubbish
were deposited at five city dumps.
where the stun was overhauled Arti-
cles Of use or material that could be
turned to manufacturing account be-
came the property of the Waste Prod
uct company. which has paid the city
$4,000 for all such material collected
BY ash gatherers during 1914. Next
year the chief estimates that the city
will derive possibly $4,000 from this
source Of revenue.

News of the War.

Paris, Oct. 14-Lille has been cap
tured by the Germans. This is the
outstanding feature Of an official state
ment Issued here The fighting has
conferred about Lille for nearly two
weeks. The admission by the French
that it has been lost indicates that
the Germans are gaining in their coun-
ter-flanking movement against the al
lies left wing and that the kaisers
troops will now sweep quickly to the
coast. The capture of Lille was eff
fected by German army corps, says
the official statement. The French
claim that they have gained ground
between Arras and Albert, southwest
Of Lille, and also at the center of the

Belgian Capital Moved to France.
Official announcement was made at
Bordeaux that the Belgian government

is menaced by the Germans, to Havre,
France.
Members of the cabinet of King AL

| ed by the French government for
| their use. 1t is understood that King
Albert will remain with his army.
This announcement indicates that
the allies have little hope Of being able
| to keep Ostend out OF the Germans
| hands.
The announcement of the flight of
| the Belgian government to Havre,
after being driven successfully from
Brussels and Antwerp, is explained
! thus:

| full liberty of action and for that
reason it was decided that it should
come to France"
| Germans Seek to Trap Allies.
That the Germans are rapidly shift

the Belgian army and the British

Antwerp is indicated by dispatches re-
ceived from three different sources.

solid French front. After the fifth
charge there were only a hundred

signs of reluctance they gave the sig
