shows how to successfully plant
trees. AS many trees are being
set out at this time, we are of the
opinion that their findings may
prove of benefit. The Bureau
says:
The beauty of shade tree de-
pends upon its normal and sym
metrical growth. In order to
insure this, before planting cut off
the ends of all broken or mutilated

CRUELTY OF THE sPARRoWs
Shown In Raid Upon the Nest OF
Robins.

Robins.
81 have always had kind word for
the English sparrow" said suburb
ante, "but 1 have had to change my
mind. I'm afraid I did not know the
English sparrow after all.
"An old fashioned grape vine clam
bers over the lattice work of a back
porch that a window at which / sit
great deal looks out upon. The
porch is not more than eight feet wide.
and so / was surprised this spring to
see q pair of robins preempt a nook
among the branches of the grape vine
and make preparations for building
their nest there, almost within reach
of where / sat.
Il sat there every day and watched
the progress of that nest building,
from the wonderful weaving of the
outer walls with straws and sticks and
bits of string, the fashioning of them
into the strong and symmetrical rim
of the cuplike interior to the lining
of this softer and warmer material.
From the beginning of the neat
building by the robins l noticed that
groups of sparrows watched the pro-
gress of the work, twittering all the
time cheerily and evidently greatly
interested in the proceedings, but not
once exhibiting any hostility toward
the robins, which l had always been
told were especially attacked by the
pugnacious sparrows and persistently
driven away by them. This conduct
of the sparrows pleased me.
Instead Of pitching into the robins
and driving them away said l, the
sparrows are actually cheering them
on and encouraging them. How easy
it is to give a thing bad name!'
"The robins at last finished their
nest, and the female began her laying.
The time came when the female robin
remaining on the nest showed that
her eggs were all in the nest and she
had begun their incubation.
Then the utter wickedness of spar
rows was revealed to me. This was
the time they had been waiting for.
Nothing could be palmer. for poor
Mrs. Robin had settled herself on her
eggs but very short time when, as
II by Encouragement, sparrows came
bouncing down upon her from every
direction, their cheerful chirping
changed to vicious shrieks. The rob-
in, taken by surprise by this fierce
and sudden assault, made a desperate
effort to defend herself and her home

EFFECT OF ALCOHOL.

gated $4,000 school children for the
New York Academy of Medicine. He
found IS per cent below the standard

20 per cent deficient, and 16 per cent
nearly deficient. Fifty-three per cent
of the detectives were the children OF
drinking parents. Only 10 per cent OF
the children of abstaining parents
were billiards. The family history OF
3,711 children were traced for three
generations. or the children of alb
staining parents and grandparents A
per cent were billiards, while of the
children OF abstaining parents and
drinking grandparents 78 per cent
were billiards.

THE MODERN WAY

The Whistling Girl and the Growing

out laughing.
Wen show 'em!" they exclaimed
as with one voice, and then, with their
heads in the air. they marched in, past
any number of girls who couldn't
whistle and hens which couldn't crow

A NATURAL HANDICAP.

The Life Extension institute Is an
organization which is fighting disease
through publicity. Its membership
includes some Of the greatest living
scientists and educators. These au
thorities have put forth many rad
ical statements concerning alcohol
They declare that the present antag
onistic attitude of several European
monarchs towards this "deadening
drug" is fully warranted by scientific
evidence. Alcohol" they say, lis a
handicap for nation at war. 1t is a
handicap for an individual in the strug
gle for existence. This is not the
judgment of scientists alone, nor OF
weaklings and faddists, but Of the
big-brained, strengthened men upon
whom has fallen the tremendous bur
den of guiding great nations through
the greatest crisis In history"

RoosEvELT's OPINION.

Colonel Roosevelt says: There is
nothing more absurd than the belief
that the closing of the saloon will
cause workingmen to lose their jobs.
There are few things more important
to our social advancement than the
loosening of the grip of the liquor in
terests upon the labor movement. The
saloon always represents economic
loss"

COST OF JOHN HARLEYcoRN.
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union)

COSI OF JOIN DAnGG SOn'Ns
The credit side of the account of a
city with John Barleycorn is very wide
ly advertised by the liquorites. They
endeavor to make the public believe
that there is no debit side and far too
few communities take the trouble to
investigate and discover what is paid
out of their treasures to Offset the IL
cense money paid in by the saloons.
At the instigation of Governor Brum-
baugh OF Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
account with the liquor traffic has been
carefully figured up and given to the
public. 1t shows that John Barleycorn
costs the city each year more than
$3,000,000; that more than one-half or
the expense of the police department
of the great city is made necessary by
the liquor traffic; that the per cent OF
expense of other departments of the
city government, due to alcohol is, sui
cides, rs per cent; home for the in
digent, 60 per cent; general hospital,
35 per cent; county prison, 80 per
cent; district attorneys office, 80 per
cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, 80
per cent; juvenile court, so per cent.
Such figures certainly reflect upon
the common business sense of the man
voters of Philadelphia, especially in
view of the statement in the report,
that "the sum of 100000 Is far in
excess OF the money paid into the
treasury for liquor licenses"
A similar problem in civic economy
should be presented to the voters of
every city which tolerates the liquor
traffic.

WORTH WHILE.

Under the operation of the present
prohibition law wonders have been
worked in North Carolina. The i'm
provement can be seen in every city

against the present law have since it's
operation become convinced that it
has been more than worth WHILE" says

the result Of prohibition in North Car.

ALCOHOL QUESTION FIRST.

IF the alcohol question were solved
there would still remain other social
questions to be solved, but it is also
true that as things stand today no
other question of social welfare can
be taken up with any prospect of Sc
curing efficient results until the alco-
hol question is solved" Her
