MAKES PLEA FOR THE BIRDS
How Necessary They Are in War
RING on Insect World.

War and rumors of war are on
every side and occupy our minds
large part of the time. There is an
ever present fear of danger to our
country. There is real danger which
is not considered as seriously or as
frequently as it should be. There is
in many localities a reckless destruc-
ton of bird life. 1.-The hawk has
caught a chicken" is the cry. The
his fate. This is without thought of
the thousands of moths and injurious
insects which they have destroyed,
thus enabling you to enjoy some OF
the fruits you have been endeayoring
to raise. Had these birds not helped
you by killing insects, you would have
nc fruit at all. The North American
calls attention to the fact that 'one
pair of gypsy moths, unchecked, would
in eight years produce a brood that
would destroy every vestige OF foliage
in the United States" What is the
value of one fowl, compared with the
thousands of injurious insects de-
stroyed? These birds also relieve you
of an army of mice that are destruc-
tive. Many other birds are the good
friends OF man, clearing trees from
scale, and various injurious things
that, unaided, he would be unable to
cope with. Instead of killing every
hawk or owl you see, learn about the
birds and discover which among them
are your friends. Few birds deserve
death at your hand. Without the birds
man can scarcely live at all, and If
existing, would be deprived of almost
every comfort and pleasure.

ample provision for campaign needs.

doctrine to the people as well as to
obligation of every man, women and
child to help in the fight against
tuberculosis, which annually claims SO
many victims and causes so much suf
feling and poverty, that it soon be-
came evident that more seals would be
needed. Chicago was appealed to and
sent half a million and after several
urgeut kilograms another half million
were secured from Washington.
The school children are engaging in
the sale with their usual enthusiasm
and in the rural schools and some of
the city schools honor certificates are
being awarded to the child making
certain number of sales. This plan is
for the schools outside of Milwaukee
where the seal sale is an established
feature of the years program.
The greatest value of the seal sale
lies in its opportunity Tor service and
it's lesson in civic duty" writes Supt.
NJ. c. Potter of the Milwaukee schools
an letter urging the principals and
teachers to encourage the children in
even heartier and more enthusiastic
cooperation than they have given in
the past.
This civic duty is not confined to the
school children. The fight against
tuberculosis is fight in the interests
of the whole people, individually as
well as collectively.

The exterior of this house presents
a maSsive appearance considering Its
size. This effect is due more to the
method OF building the front porch
than anything else. he gable over
the porch is built with different pitch

OF the house. This is an unusual et-
tect that is not often seen anu is Just
one OF the many ways of adding a
special touch TO house so as to give
it a distinctive appearance. The pam

is the white railing with its heavy pill
lars on each side of the stairs and the
large square columns at the corners.
These pillars and columns are in
keeping with the massive effect given
by this design.
The exterior Of this house is of clap
boards. No attempt is made to match
the chimney by trimming other parts
of the house in similar manner. The
chimney is constructed of rough-fin-

feature This is another detail that is
unusual.
If you have got house for sale,
the impression that is created on
prospective buyer right at the start is
often the main reason for either buy

impression that can be made will be
due to little details that are different
from the ordinary run of houses.
Everybody likes to have something
that is distinctive, house that peo-

The kitchen is as carefully arranged

MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE.
Importers Seek to Get Back Rebates
hu Acfi0v, ~ Cunrauoo Court

by Action in Supreme Court.
The Democratic administration is ap-
preaching a very awkward situation.
There are on the docket of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court the so-called
FIVE per cent rebate cases. They invol-
We a tremendous sum in customs
revenues, loosely estimated at between
fifteen and twenty million dollars, col
lected under the provisions of the Un-
derwood tariff law. On the courts
decision hangs the fate of these mil
lions.
If the Supreme Court upholds the
five per cent rebate provision in the
Underwood law, then the sum in dis
pute belongs to the foreign importers
and must be paid back by the govern
ment. The treasury deficit long ago
became alarming. If this enormous adj
ditional sum has to be paid out, it will
still further emphasize the failure of
the Democratic fiscal policy.
On the other hand, if the Supreme
Court decides that the five per cent
provision of the Underwood law is in
valid, the highest court in the Ian d
will have convicted the Democratic
Congress of humiliating blunder and
still further emphasize it's record of
legislative inefficiency.
TIE fact that the attorney general,
in order TO save the revenue involved,
is attacking the validity of the law
Congress worked six months to pass,
makes the situation still more compli-
Gated.
From political standpoint, the best
thing that could happen to the Demo
cratic party in this case would De to
have decision go over until after
election.
Whether or not this happens depends
largely upon the time the case is
heard. 1t is mp to the government to
take the first step to advance the date
of hearing. Litigants on the other
side of the case have complained bit
terly over what they term unreason-
able delay, and for weeks have been
urging the government to move more
quickly.
Meanwhile, regardless of when the
hearing may be held, Democratic
leaders are wondering what Gan be
done to offset the attack that will he
made on their fiscal policy on the one
hand, and their legislative efficiency
on the other.

One of the best things to figure on

bench can be built and the tools
that are around the house can be kept.
Lots of men like to putter around the
house trying to fix everything that
goes wrong, from doors to alarm
clocks. If they really can fix things
as we'll as they say they can, no re-

The accompanying floor plan and
perspective show five-room cottage
house that resembles a bungalow in
many ways 1t is built higher from
the ground than the bungalow gener-
ally is and the roof has slightly
sharper pitch, but the pitch is still
fiat enough and the caves project so
as to give more or less of bungalow
appearance.
This house is placed well above the
ground so that there is plenty of head
room for heating system. Of course
a deep cellar can be dug in land that
is high and dry, but even then the
basement is likely to be damp and
will certainly be dark. large and
roomy basement can be built under
this house, as it is % by 40 feet. Par
tition walls can be constructed in this
basement, dividing it up into various
rooms which can be used in many
ways. The furnace room can be shut
off from the rest of the basement and
room provided for the storage OF
fruit and vegetables which will be
cool Also a laundrv should be built.

HALF OF FOREST
FIRES PREvENTABLE
Analysis of Reports Shows that
More Than so Per Cent of
Great Annual Loss of Life
and Property Is Due to
AvOidable Causes.

Washington, July S.-With the opening
of the season of fire danger on most Of
the national forests. the forest service
is sending broadcast a warning that
more than half Of the forest fires in the
United States are due to carelessness or
other preventable causes. starting from
campers. railroad locomotives, brush
burning. incendiaries and sawmills.
This statement is based on an analy-
sis of statistics compiled from the forest
fire records of the last season, when
more than 1000 fires were reported on
national forests alone and approximately
10000 on State and private holdings in the
Is states which received federal co-opsra-
ton in fire protection under the Weeks
law, namely. Maine, New hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts. Connecticut,
New York. New Jersey, Maryland, West
Virginia. Kentucky. Michigan, Wiscon-
son. Minnesota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions Of dollars
worth of timber and other property every
year. and in some years cause consid-
cradle loss Of life. 1t has been estimat-
ed from the best information obtainable
that forest fires last year burned over
an area of approximately 100000 acres
with total Of at least $s,500,0O0.

But this year the sun worshipers
had a perfectly clear morning. The
first rays of the sun touched an iso-
lated giant stone facing east and
threw shadow upon a recumbent
stone outside the existing circle.
Thence the shadow crept up slowly
to the great sacrificial stone in the
heart Of the ancient temple. AS the
sun rose still further on the horizon
the rays penetrated a space between
two monoliths and Illuminated e the
whole surface of the so-called sacri-
fetal stone. This sight is extremely
rare, having been witnessed before by
only one of the Sun Worshippers
present at this years ceremony.
There was no attempt at public re-
cital Of the Druid Confession Of
Faith" but in accordance with the an
nual custom. DR.. Reid and his fol-
lowers had a clash with the local po-
lice, acting as guardians Of the stones.
One of the Druids was elected from
the circle and another was escorted
out Of the grounds.
AS soon as the rays Of the sun had
passed over the sacrificial stone, DR..
Reid moved outside the temple and
addressed the crowd. His address. was
in the usual form, protest against
the action of the police and against
the owner of the estate in enclosing
and charging admission to Stone
henge, to which the modern Druids
claim right Of access without pay
ment.

London. June 21.-Sir John French's
solicitude for his men is illustrated
in story sent from the front by a
correspondent with the British army
During a surprise visit behind the
firing line the British Commander
in-Chief came upon a boy Territorial
who was writing a letter. Sir John
was surprised to note that the boy
was sobbing bitterly as he wrote, and
inquired as to the cause.
The lad. taken unawares, stammered
out some sort of excuse but the COM
mander finally elected the information
that the young soldier had just re-
ceived a letter from home, telling of
the death of his mother following re-
ceipt Of an incorrect report that her
son had been killed at the front.
General French, deeply moved, sent
the boy home on three-weeks leave
and gave him a substantial sum to
help defray the funeral expenses. AT
any rate" he remarked as he babe the
boy God-speed, your mother died in
the happy belief that her son did his

In addition to fruit trees, it feeds IN
