REMEMBER THE BIRDS.

The humanitarian who thinks of the
birds on these cold wintry days will be
glad to learn that there are many ways
in which they can be fed and shelf
cred. Keep on hand all the old crumbs
and food particles which birds like,
and you will find that many feathered
songsters will be your friends.
The chickadee Is a bird which is
seen even more frequently in winter
than in summer. He comes of a very
friendly species, and you will find he
will hop to your window very readily
if you leave few crumbs around.
The nut-hatches and kinglets may Of
ten be seen in company with the
chickadee. Another well-known resi-
dent is the woodpecker. He can be
seen on the coolest day pecking at a
, hollow limb, working for his food.
Incidentally, he is taking off your trees
i all the obnoxious grubs, worms and
other insects which would do them
| harm in summer.
The sharp and vibrant notes of the
blue-jay and the crow may be heard
any morning as you go to your work.
| There is something SO comforting in
the thought that the birds come to
greet you that it will prove payment
! enough when you feed them every day

WOman;S Part in

NEVER WORE GLASS SLIPPERS.
by Associated Press.)

London, March 19.-Cinderella new.
er wore glass slippers. The slipper
that the prince fitted to her small foot,
and which her two ugly, mean and
scheming sisters tried in vain to get
into, was not glass. 1t was made of
squirrel skin.
This blow to tradition dear to
childhood was delivered by Cecile HUI
gon, lecturer in French literature to
the Oxford Society for Women's Edu.
cation in a paper on the subject OF
fairy tales. When the Cinderella
story was tudned from French into
English the translator mistook word
Perrault, who wrote the tale in
French, described the slipper not as
'soulier de verre," but as 'soulier de
vair" Verre and vair sound alike in
French, but verre means glass while
vair means the fur of the squirrel.
Miss Hugon suggests that the slip
pers might have been of gray, with a
dainty trimming of squirrel about the
top. Otherwise, they might have been
all fur top. But in no case did Cinde-
rella receive pair of glass slippers
from her fairy godmother and drop
one in the ball room for the prince to

Jealousy is failing which is popu-
larly attributed to women and which
the average man would repudiate as
being impossible of connection with
his on disposition But neverthe-
less, there is a certain quality of sus-
piciousness in very many men which
is pretty closely akin to jealousy, and
which is the masculine version of that
feminine failing.
The girl who has suspicious sweet
heart is up against a proposition which
she must handle very carefully, unless
she wishes to make shipwreck of both
his happiness and her own.
All lovers have their moments of
jealousy, and that such should be the
case is only natural The old saying
insists that love cannot exist without
some jealousy, and one is certainly
suspicious Of the lover who never sui.

beloved the centre of masculine inter-

However, be that as it may, the sus-

that is always suspecting the worst OF

THE SOCIAL CRATER.
One Type Of Girl.

There is a certain type Of girl with

said the principal of a large girls
school the other day, land for want Of
better name / call her the social
CRATER. OF course, many of these
girls don't consider themselves in this
light at all, but they are grafters of
the deepest dye.
In the first place, when they come
to school they look around until they
find girl with money. This isn't
hard, as the fashionable schools usually
have the daughters of rich cattle own
ers from the west, and rich Spanish
girls who want to learn English, any
many other types of wealthy girls

friend of one of these.

wealthy girl leave school to go abroad

friend, the CRATER, | was informed

get along without her. The girl was
well repaid for her devotion She
had year abroad, and came home
richer by several Paris gowns.

their summer vacations. If life on a

X-RAY USED To-
EXAMINE BALES.
EXPORT COTTON
SEARCH FOR CON-
TRABAND COPPER CONCEALED
ON NEUTRAL VESSELS BRINGS
TO PLAY SOME UNUSUAL TAG
TICS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan 17.-England's search
for contraband copper concealed on
board neutral vessels is being assisted
by the use Of the X-Ray. This is es-
pecially valuable in examining car
goes of cotton, where, according to the
London newspapers, copper for Ger
many has been found concealed with
in the bales of cotton. A number OF
particularly heavy bales are selected
at random from the cargo and photo
graphed by X-Ray, which reveals the
presence of any foreign substance.
Germany for several years has been
the United States heaviest customer
in copper Trade authorities here give
Germany's annual consumption of this
metal as 256,000 tons, Wilde Great
Britain Games next with $4,000 tons.
Germany's great industrial progress
in recent years, with her vast military
preparations account for her largely
increased use of copper. Thirteen tons
of the metal. are required for a mil
lion rounds Of small arms ammuni-
ton.
More than half the worlds copper
comes from the United States. In 1913,
out of total world production of
States furnished $4,000 tons, of which
nearly 100000 tons were exported to
Europe. Germans own production is
about $4,000 tons a year.
The Telegraph, discussing the ques-
ton Of contraband copper, says: 1--WE
learn that Italy imported 1900 tons
in September and October this year,
against 5000 tons last year: that Hol-
land imported 5,400 tons against 500;
that Norway imported $500 tons
against nothing at all the previous
year. 1t may be, of course, that these
countries are getting from America
| what they used to obtain in a manu-
! featured form from Germany; but
when we find Italy's total consump-
| ton of copper in 1913 only $1,000
| tons, and that in September and Oc-
| tober she was importing at the rate of
| $4,000 tons per year, there is strong
| ground for belief that was being

HATTIESBUR c
FIRM GETS BIG
BRITISH ORDER
LUMBER COMPANY OF THAT
PLACE TO SHIP 100000 FEET
OF CROSS TIES FOR FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT.

The first installment of the 10000
900 feet of lumber to be used by the
railways of the British empire will
be furnished by the j. j. Newman
Lumber Company, of Hattiesburg,
says special.
This official information was re-
ceived by officials of the company to-
day, directly from the committee in
London, having charge Of letting the
contract. The amount of money to be
received for the timber was not stated
at the local offices. The first portion
of the big contract calls for 100000
feet, however 1t will be supplied from
the forests of Forrest county.
The Newman company has hopes or
landing the entire contract for the re-
quired 100000 feet. II probably will
be several days yet before announce
ments concerning the remaining in
stallments will be made from London.
Work Of filing this big order will be
started Immediately. 1t was announced
today that it would take but a short
time to get out the full amount. AL
though the first installment calls for
only 100000 feet, it may be necessary
to cut double that amount In order TO
get timber of the specifications re-
quired.
Most of the lumber in the initial or
der will be used for sleepers or rail-
road ties.
1t became necessary to appeal to
America for the timber, following the
outbreak of the European war. The
Baltic States and the Scandinavian
peninsula were no longer able to guar
antee prompt shipments after the war
continued on the seas. For several
weeks, representatives Of the British
railways have been going over the
lumber situation in the United States
and much consideration was given
South Mississippi.
According to w. J. Haymen, general
| manager of the Newman company, az
soon as ocean freight rates become
| more reasonable, and shipping from
| America for European ports more set.
tied, more and larger contracts foi
| lumber will be filled by South Mis-
| sissippi mills.

YEARS HENCE.

The Jacksonville State says: On
account of i'll health 1t is said Hon.
Emmett Wilson will probably not be
a candidate to succeed himself in
congress when the next primaries are
held. II this is true the friends of
the young congressman regret it ex-
ceedingly, for, with good health, his
career in Washington promised to be
a brilliant one and one full of service.
The time is long way off yet, but
before he becomes too welded to the
position OF attorney general we sug-
gest that the good people over in
the Third insist that Tom West agree
to. enter the congressional race. AT
the present Mr.. West has no such
idea, we are sure, for he has said he
intends to be a candidate to succeed
himself and he has been so generally
satisfactory that he would be giving
up certain position to seek another
but when there is man available OF
the caliber of Tom West the office
should occasionally seek the man.
With the completion of the Panama
canal and the necessity of harbor anc
other improvements in West Florida
