EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes of the Nightingale.
for instance, Are inspired by
Paternal Love.

1t is generally assumed that bird
sings because he is happy, but sci
ence goes deeper for an explanation
of the why and wherefore of the
birds song. Natures optimistic Joy
in constructive progress is expressed
in the singing of the male birds who
charm their mates to further their
wooing, and continue after eggs are
laid to encourage the fulfillment Of
Matching.
The song stops when the little birds
come out of the shell. The nightin-
gale, for weeks during the period Of
nest-building and Matching, charms
his mate and human ears near him
with the beautiful music of his love
song. But as soon as the little night
ingales come from the eggs the song
changes to sort of cultural croak,
implying anxiety and sense of respon-
sibility.
If the nest and contents were de-
stroyed the nightingale would at once
resume his beautiful song to inspire
his mate to help him build another
nest and start all over again the low
Ing work of being fruitful and multi
plying.

Gives Beauty Advice.

Girls, young ladies and misses, it's
no use to spend your coin on rouge
and powder to make yourself look
beautiful. 1t will not improve your
looks. And If you insist upon wearing
small, tight shoes with high heels, you
can depend upon it that they will
bring hard, drawn lines in your face.
Another menace to beauty is a four
pound skypiece on your belfry. This
is all according to DR.. Ida @. Nahm,
who makes a sweeping denunciation
of these things. If you want to retain
your youthful beauty for ever and
ever, follow these dictates, says the
doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm
water, lots of outdoor exercise, espe-
cially walking, and drink two quarts
of water every day. These will insure
health, red cheeks and slim, youth
full figure. Doctor Nahm recommends
the water cure and walks especially
for ladies with too much embonpoint.
She says it's the safest, surest and
quickest way to reduce.

COUNT" TOO ABSENT MINDED
tionaI Marriage Was Permanently
Called Off.

Henry P Dawson of the Morgan
banking firm was talking about inter-
national marriages:
Well" he said, Il know of one in
ternational marriage that failed,
thank goodness, to come off. The girl
was the daughter of a Paint Rock
millionaire The man was count,
a Spanish count.
The count was absent minded.
That was his undoing. The girls
father gave a dinner for him in the
Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint
Rock, and at the dinners end the
count got up to light cigarette, and
then, by joye, started to remove the
plates.
The guests watched him in an
open-mouthed silence. His napkin
slung over his arm, he had got nearly
all the plates removed when his mil
lionaire host said to him gently:
Wake up, George. You're not
waiting in the beanery now, you
know. You're pretending you're a
count in Paint Rock Wake up. man,
for gracious sake.'

Why He Went to a Concert.

Josef Holman has a story which
illustrates the attitude of many peo-
pie toward recitals of piano music.
A pianist was to give concert, and
as the audience was filing in the ticket
taker stopped man who presented
two tickets.
You can't go in" the official said.
You're not in fit condition.
Didn't / pay for my tickets?" ques-
toned the would-be auditor. Aren't
they in order?"
They're perfectly in ordtr,' was
the reply, but the truth is you're
drunk
Drunk? Drunk?" unused the other,
solemnly placing the passports in his
pocket. "Of course I'm drunk. If
weren't drunk would l come to a
piano recital?"

that the government should raise the
additional revenue required by i'm
posing increased revenue taxes which

lector for West Virginia. outlined a
plan to the United States commission
or OF internal revenue today which,
from reliable sources, profoundly in
terested that official. Mr.. Hays sug-
questions are going to be laid before
administration leaders who are at
present wrestling with the revenue
problems.
In brief. Collector Hays's sugges-
lions include no reduction in the in
come tax law, but an increase upon
those who have incomes Of $4,000 or
more a year. and more rigid enforce
ment in getting that class of incomes;
increasing the revenue on whiskey and
beer: tax on rectlners Of light wines;
abolition of the $500 tax exemption on
tobacco dealers. This Mr.. Hays claims.
will make UP the necessary revenue,
and let the obnoxious emergency taxes
expire the last OF this month US origi-
nally intended.
According to Mr.. Hays. two-thirds
of the income tax is being paid by
men whose incomes are less than
$4,000 or 100000 per annum. The
men with incomes in excess Of the lat
ter amount, are not coming in" with
their Just proportion, according to Col
lector Hays.
