FINDS LESSON IN THE WAR
Dean Hodges Points Out Four Things Learned as Result of Great
 Struggle.

That there are four great lessons being taught by the present war ill Europe was the declaration of Dean George Hodges of Cambridge Theolog- ical seminary, former rector of Cal vary Episcopal church, Cambridge, ill a sermon on 'The War" from the pui- pit he used to occupy in Cavalry, re- gently.
 "The war will teach that nation is not exalted by material strength" :" said he. "To be exalted a nation must have, beside material strength, the true ideals of brotherhood. The sec ond lesson that this war is teaching is that might is not right, and any nation that thinks so to the contrary will re- gret it. The third lesson is that peo- pie have been wrong in saying that men are invincibly selfish, for this war offers thousands and thousands of cases of men gladly giving up their lives. The fourth lesson is that the old belief that war is glorious is a false belief. War is far from glorious and we are realizing it today as never before. Because of the neglect of na- tional Christianity we find this war existing today. Christianity is for na- tions as well as for individuals and that will be the one great, comprehen sive lesson this war will teach.'

never pleasing to the eye. Branches containing real woodpecker holes, when obtainable, are perhaps the best attraction that can be offered most house birds in tn breeding sea son. By carefully fitting such branch to a fruit or shade tree it's foreign origin will scarcely be noticed.
 A good house may be made from a log or large branch, hollowed by de- cay, if it is fitted with top and bot tom The cover should be put on after the log is fastened into place. Either the top or bottom should be removable. Another way of making a log house is to split a straight grained log two feet or more in length through the middle and then to cut out cavity with gouge. The exca- vations in the two halves can be made to match exactly by means of a pattern or template having the size and shape desired for the proposed cavity through the plane of cleavage. The top of this house should be GOV cred with tin or zinc to keep out moisture. The halves should be fas- tened together to be taken apart and cleaned. Phoebes like to nest about buildings, and simple shelf under the roof of porch or shed is all they require.
 A nest shelter designed to be placed in shrubbery for catbirds, brown thrashers and song sparrows requires little lumber or labor, and one may well be placed in every patch of weeds or brush frequented by these birds. Fastened to large horizontal branch or in a crotch of a tree it s likely to be used by robins.
 Houses placed on poles are es- pecially suitable for swallows. Blue

Few Sailors Row or Swim.

A survivor from one of the tor pedoed ships says: We had no men in our boat who could row. l had nev- CT rowed a boat before, but I can do so now" The smallness of the num- Der of men in our mercantile marine who can handle rowboat would surprise the majority of people, and those who can handle sail are an even smaller band. They get almost no opportunity of learning. As for swimming, very few are experts, and battalions of them cannot swim a stroke Just last summer l sailed with a British cargo boat officered by nonswimmers, and having on board only four men in all who believed that, unaided, they could keep them selves afioat.-London Chronicle.

 She took Mayr's Wonderful Rem edy and got immediate benefits. She wrote:
 When I commenced taking your treatment I could scarcely be out of bed, I had such severe pains in my hips and the top of my right foot. My foot felt as if it had been severe ly sprained Finally a numbness set tied in my arms and shoulders. About that time I received your treatment and the first bottle relieved the mis- cry. Now I feel like new person"

birds and wrens also like this kind of a house, but they prefer one with a rather deep cavity. In building a house for flickers it should be so arranged that the roof can be lifted in the same way as stopper is re- moved from bottle A house suit able for members of the woodpecker family may also be used for nut hatches, titmice and chickadees.
 A house designed for wrens and house finches may be placed on tree or fence post. It should be at- tached near the caves of a building.

effectual than a series of houses suit ed to the needs and habits of the va rious kinds of house birds.
 A few years ago only four species were commonly regarded as house birds-the house wren, the bluebird, the tree swallow, and the martin. Since the movement to protect birds and make neighbors of them began, however, their natures and needs have become better understood, and it is now known that many other species will avail themselves of houses constructed for them by their human friends. The practice of erecting bird houses in this country, while now na- tion-wide, is not so common and uniformly distributed as it should be, and more extended provisions of this nature cannot fail to result in a largely increased number of house birds
 The habit of nesting in bird houses has been adopted by individuals of many species which would not ordi- narily be expected to make use of such homes, and this may be taken as an indication that it will become more general from year to year as facilities are afforded and as the number of birds matched in houses increases.
 That western wrens and bluebirds should take as naturally to artificial shelters as did their eastern relatives was to be expected. On the other hand, the use of houses by birds which until recently had consistently ignored them is surprising and must be considered a victory for those who have studiously attempted to enlarge their circle of feathered neighbors.
 Woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tit mice excavate their own houses, usually new ones each year, leaving the old homes to less capable archi- tects. Builders of artificial houses generally go to the woodpecker for designs, and by varying styles to suit the tastes of different kinds of birds, have been rewarded by such tenants as chickadees, tufted titmice, white breasted nuthatches, Berwick and Car olina wrens, violet-green swallows, crested fycatchers, screech owls. sparrow hawks, and even some of the woodpeckers, the master builders themselves. Flickers readily accept houses built according to their stand ards. Redheaded and golden-fronted woodpeckers are willing occupants of artificial houses, and even the downy woodpecker. that sturdy little car penter, has, in one instance at least, deemed such home a satisfactory abode in which to raise family. Shel- ters having one or more sides open are used by birds which would never venture into dark houses suited to woodpeckers. They have been occu- pied by robins and brown thrashers,

to Pole.
 The front gable is open, entrance to the room below being through the rear of the upper floor. This house can be opened for cleaning by lifting out the upper floor
 Martin houses are built on the apartment plan to satisfy the social instinct so marked in martins but so conspicuously lacking in most other birds. They usually contain not less than 10 to 12 rooms and for this req son are relatively complicated, espe- cially if they are miniatures of elabor- ate buildings, as is often the case. Like the single-room houses, they should be easy to inspect and clean from top to bottom and, if possible, should be made proof against the English sparrow. When a martin house is exposed to strong winds it may be advisable to attach guy wires to corners of the roof The pole may be made of a single piece of four-inch galvanized pipe, set in a concrete base. In this case the house should be a cylinder and the roof cone
 Each spring before birds return from the South all filth and litter should be carefully removed from bird houses. In addition to the relics of previous occupancy, houses are likely to contain cocoons of insects, and nests of bees or squirrels. Attention to this one item of spring cleaning is a substantial factor in attaching birds permanently to their houses. A little sulphur scattered about house is a good remedy for parasites. When bluebirds or swallows take possession of a martin house 1t is a good plan to put up a one-room house in the vicin- ity and remove the nest from the mar tin house. Interlopers, thus evicted, often transfer their housekeeping to the small house Houses designed for woodpeckers should always have an inch or so of sawdust in the bottom for the reception of eggs, as wood peckers do not gather nest materials. Due attention should be given to re- pairs. It is easier to keep houses in good order than to build new ones.
 Birds have numerous enemies from which a careful landlord will try to guard them Among hese is the English sparrow, whose persistent at tacks too often drive more desirable birds away from their nests and from the neighborhooG.
