HUMAN BROTHERHOOD
When Disaster Came All Were Kin and
Equality Reigned

Friends who went through the hor-
rors of the San Francisco earthquake
in 1905 and kept their spiritual senses
alert tell me that its most poignant
experience was not one of horrors or of
pity, but of the almost miraculous at
tainment of human brotherhood says
a writer in the Atlantic Monthly.
Just after the disaster when rich
and poor waited In line together for
their allowance of bread and milk, l
saw" saws a friend, "a rich woman
from the st. Francis hotel lying asleep
on a doorstep with her head on a muff.
a long sable coat was thrown over her,
and under one corner of 1t q young
Japanese boy, a perfect stranger to
her, was curled up asleep.
Everybody was everybodys friend.
there was not a word of complaint or
i'll nature. TO bivouac together in the
park and care for each others babies
around fires of driftwood gathered on
the beach transformed men and women
into defenseless children of the earth,
revealed each to each by their innate
lovableness
Common danger and mutual help

Fun With the Birds

From the Northwestern Christian Ad
vocate.
If you want to have fun with the
birds in the winter, just set six
foot pole in the ground far enough to
hold it upright near some window
where you look out frequently. Ours
is set about eight feet from the house
in an angle where we can see the birds
from kitchen, dining room and study.
Nail a board about six inches square
flat on top of the pole Ior a table for
the birds Now take piece of suet or
fat pork and tack it on the table. so
that the birds cannot pun it off as
they cut up their meat for dinner. They
do not eat the lean meat. so we just
put out the fat. In day or two some
inquring bird will get taste OF the
meat and soon a whole dinner party
will come in ones and twos to accept
your invitation.
In southern Minnesota the chickadee
-daintiest of the dainty-and the gor-
geous soldier blue iay-ponderous old
carpenter-and the friendly little nu-
thatches, with the downy and hairy and
several red-headed woodpeckers, with
the usual number of brown sparrows,
all come to share your hospitality.
Breakfast continues from o'clock to
II and dinner begins soon after and
continues till or o'clock. when they
begin to hunt for a free lodging in
some friendly shelter.
One might think that interest in the
little visitors would soon die out, but
as one gets acquainted with the lit
tie fellows. he looks out for their Wis
Its and is constantly surprised and de-
lighted at their funny freaks. Almost
no expense, but a constant source of
winter fun. the children and older folks
learn to love the little feathered friends
who help keep the insect pest from
overrunning trees and gardens-and the
fun is delightful.

the German navy it was of inestimable
advantage, enabling a commander to

the other in a few hours and to mer-

fleet from points several hundred miles
apart. With the advent of dreadnaughts,
however, this advantage was lost. as the

Paris, February 7.-Race betterment

French experts, who have succeeded in

Protection of Locks
To protect the locks of the Panama
canal from bombardment and destruc-

several miles inland from the ends of
the canals. In the Kaiser Wilhelm canal
the same result has been obtained by hav-
