FEEDING BIRDS IN WINTER
Kindly Act to Set "Dinner Table" for
the Wild Feathered Song
eters.

How best to feed the birds is all
most an art In itself. A winter lunch
counter spread with suet, nuts, hemp
seed, meat and crumbs will attract
nuthatches, chickadees, downy and
hairy woodpeckers, creepers, bluejays,
etc. Canary seed, buckwheat, oats
and hay chaff scattered on the
ground beneath will provide an irre'
sistible banquet for other feathered
boarders. A feeding place of this sort
can be arranged for convenient obser-
vation from a window and afford no
end of diversion and instruction. But
whether close to home or far afield.
the great secret Of success in such
work is regularity. Begin to put the
food out early in November, and let
the birds get to know that they are
always sure to find supply of dain-
ties in certain spot, and the news
will soon spread among them. In win
try weather, especially, it is amazing
what can be accomplished by feeding
the birds regularly, and at least the
following birds have been induced to
feed from the human hand: Chicka-
dee, white breasted nuthatch, red
breasted nuthatch, brown creeper,
Carolina wren, cardinal, evening gros-
beak, tufted titmouse, Canada jay,
Florida jay, Oregon jay, and redpoll.
Even in spring untiring patience has,
resulted in the qualification of this su,
preme ambition of the bird lover, and
bluebird, robin, catbird, brown thrash
er and yellow throated vireo have
been known to feed from the hand OF
a trusted friend even with plenty OF
food all around.-From Boy Scouts OF
America.

Toast LImIts.

A right honorable member of parlia-
ment had the first response on the
toast list at an English banquet, says
the Saturday Evening Post. He be-
gan drearily and talked soggy politics
without end.
After he had been on his feet for an
hour, the chairman, or toastmaster,
sent note to the man sitting next to
the talker who also was scheduled for
a toast. The toast read: For heav-
ems sake twitch his coattails and tell
him he has long exceeded his time
limit7"
Presently a note from the man who
was to talk came bach to the chair
man. That note read: II am aston
ished at your request. II cannot
speak longer than this l must refuse
to speak ut all"

HIs Moneys Worth.

Although only month married the
young man had learned much femi-
nine logic. Tired out with day in
the shops, his wife opened her eyes
languidly as he struck match.
"Another?" she said. Mortimer, !
do wish you would not use ciga-
rettes."
"Why?"
Because they are bad for you. You
don't know what is in them"
"Oh, yes, do. Why, for the trif-
ling sum that cigarette costs you get
nicotine, valerian, possibly little
morphine, and any quantity of car
bon"
She sat up, alert and bright eyed.
Good gracious!" she said. "All
that? Why that is real bargain.

SENSE OF SMELL WEAKENING
Man No Longer Needs It In Tracking
Enemies and Hunting
for Food.

Scientists believe that when the kiss
loses Its primary function and becomes
merely a symbol of affection-and 1t is
becoming this rapidly-it will do much
to destroy mans olfactory sense. This,
along with the fact that men no long
er need this sense in tracking their
enemies and hunting for food, means
that the sense of smell Is being rapidly
destroyed. 1t is gradually weakening
with every generation, so that in sew
eral generations most men and women
may not know that their forefathers
had such thing as an olfactory sense,

PRESIDENT DESIRES TO
NEUTRALIzE ISLANDS
British Backing for Mexican
Policy Not the Only Thing
Aimed at in Message

Washington, June 3.-Indications be-
gan to appear today that the "delieate
foreign questions to which President
Wilson referred when he asked con.
gress to repeal American shipping s
exemption from Panama canal tolls, In
part at least concerned the Philippines,
The theory most commonly held at
the time the president read his message
was that he wanted British backing for
his Mexican policy. That this was not
the only thing invOlved-if, indeed, il
was involved at all-leaked out follow.
ing conference between the president
and Representative Jones, who is
scheduled to introduce the Philippine
independence bill.
Before this bill is introduced, how
ever, it appeared the president held
he must insure the naturalization of
the islands by traties with the powers,
including Japan.
Many politicians believe this neces.
sity had more to do with the chief ex.
tsntive's anxiety to win the good will
of those with whom he must treat than
had the Mexican situation.

HOMAN
ASKS FOR YEARS
LEAVE OF ABSENCE

1t became known today that Presi-
dent Fletcher HOman, Of Willamette
university would ask for year S leave
of absence at the meeting of the board
of trustees which will be neld at the
university June 10th. The differences
that have arisen between the president
and the faculty are given as the reason
for the president requesting this leave
of absence.
While the report is not directly from
President Homan himself, it comes
from an authOritive source. The presi-
dent is not in the city, but, according
to an answer given over the telephone
from the Homan residence, is in tle
east
President Homan has been the NOV
ing factor in obtaining the $60,000.00
endowment for the university and has
worked miracles in putting the institu
ton on a sound financial basis.
The report that he has requested a
years leave of absence is taken as in
dicating that this will be his last year
as president Of the university and that
it will be necessary for the board Of
trustees to find new executive to
take up his duties at the end of this
college year.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
EARLY THIS MORNING
Loss Is Estimated at S1,500-Firemen
Made Good Run, but the Blaze Was
Beyond Control.

A destructive fire occurred early this
on Rural avenue, which com.
pletely wiped out the house occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Stover. When the
department arrived, the house was prac-
tically burned down. -dr. Slower had
to run block and half in order to
reach a phone to call up the station,
and the fire had by that time such a
start that before even the auto chemi-
cal arrived it was beyond saving.
The blaze started in the kitchen of
the dwelling and was caused by a de.
fective flue. Mrs. Slower discovered
it about 1880 this morning and the
family had time to save but very lit
tie. Practically all of the furniture,
clothing and other valuables were burn
ed. The building belonged to Thomas
Lowe and was not covered by insur-
ance. Part of the contents were in
sured, and the total loss is about ST.
500.
1t was fortunate, however, that the
fire department arrived when it did,
owing to the fact that house belong.
ing to Mr.. Rutherford, located hardly
10 feet from Slower place, was smok-
ing dangerously. The department saw
ed this home from being burned Mr..
and Mrs. Slower wish to thank the
firemen and the chief for their goOc
work and generous attempt to save
their nome. The run over the two miles
was made in about four minutes, and
over an exceptionally rough road.
