helm St. Germantown,
Somewhere. perhaps In Germantown or
Haddington. poor little parrot is flying
around without a destination.
Its name is Tillie, and the bird is
patriotic. which is evident by the color
of its plumage. The parrot has a red
breast. white head and blue wings, and
what's more is decidedly Independent,
which shows that 1t is thoroughly Ameri-
can.
The bird was greeting passers-by pleas
antly from It's cage, suspended from the
limb OF a tree. when the cage fell and
the bottom fell out.
After extricating herself from the
wreckage. Tillle flew away. and her
owner, Alfred Waterfall, of AZ Mannheim
street, Germantown, has received no clue
as TO her whereabouts, His two little
children, who were Titles playmates,
are greatly distressed.
They miss the bird greatly, because she
used to fly upstairs and call them every
morning for breakfast. In fact she
would not eat until they appeared at the
table, Unlike other birds, Tillie had a
wonderful appetite. She could eat any
thing from Yorkshire pudding to Var
mouth bloater and was also very fond OF
potato chips and lamb chops.
All the children in the neighborhood
liked Tillie. She was pretty and proud
and she knew, too, when others praised
her On such occasions her chest went
out, for she knew that she deserved it.
Many OF the youngsters were in the
habit of greeting Tlllie on their way to
school, and TO show their sincerity, n
large number OF the pupils of the Filter
school have joined in the bird hunt.
So II you see Tllly. send her home, that
she may be happy again and have her

using the ovens for more than one cook
ing operation at one and the same time
thereby saving gas. She also will DEM
onstrate the most approved methods OF
preparing foodstuffs on the gas range
She has made n special study of gas
range cooking, having realized at the

FOR TREATMENT OF INSANE:
MADE so BY GREAT WAR

London, May 1S.-The text or the
Cecil Harmsworth bill to remove the
stigma of insanity from soldiers tenn
pOrarily deranged as the result of
nervous exhaustion, has been made
public. Under its provisions, a sol
dier or sailor whose mind is un-
balanced by wounds, shock or SINH
lar causes, can be treated without
being certified insane, provided the
period does not exceed six months
and the privilege is not abused Its
terms apply to all persons, but are
designed especially to protect the
men of the service.
For many years English al.enists
have been trying to bring about a
reform in the treatment of insane
through the early treatment of in
cipient and undeyeloped disorder.

BUILDING HIGHWAY ACROSS
STORM KING MOUNTAIN

with all surveys competed and
a practical route selected, plans are
now being made for the construction
during the coming summer of the
highway across the face of Storm
King mountain, a promontory that
rises sheer from the west shore OF
the Hudson river a short distance
north of West Point, n. Y" says the
June Popular Mechanics Magazine,
in an illustrated article. This will
be one of the most interesting and
difficult pieces of highway construc-
tion ever attempted in this country.
Between the foot of the cliff and the
river is barely room for the tracks
of the West Shore railroad. To find
additional room for a highway it is
necessary TO go nearly 400 feet up
the face Of the mountain and eX-
cavate a ledge in the solid rock. The
highway will be about 4 1-2 miles
long. with roadway "a feet wide.
and is estimated to cost close to
s29O.OO0. Starting at Cornwall, at an
elevation of 1870 feet above the river,
it follows the contour of the cliff to
an apex on the face of the mountain
$50 feet above the river, descending
from this point to connection with
a state road near West Point, 213
feet above the river"

Scotland has had a much more lib
eral law than England in this respect
for the past half century.
Commenting on the bill, which has
been criticized as weakening public
protection against the insane, the
Lancet says:
The interest awakened thereby
should do much to promote a more
sympathetic attitude toward the gem
eral problem Of the treatment of the
insane, and should materially assist
the efforts Of those alienist physicians
who are striving to break down the
artificial and mischieyous barriers
which, in popular belief, and to a re-
grettable extent even in medical
practice, separate insanity from oth-
cr conditions Of disease"

Mr.. Daniels Explains.

Our confident belief that JosEPHUs
DANIELS did not believe what he was
quoted al saying-that when We
have assembled the inventive genius
Of the nation we shall be in a state
Of defence such as no other natiol
by his immediate concurrence In the
sentiment which on Saturday THE SuN
supplied for him. We suggested that
the Secretary Of the Navy meant to
tell the public:
"when the assembled inventive genius
Of the nation has devised and put into
operation weapons and methods OF war
fare more effective than any now In use
we shall be in a state OF defence such
as no other nation has ever known"
In his own words, spoken on Sat
urday, Mr.. DANIELS truly %apprizes
the Importance Of the board Of in
ventors he is assembling:
Il have great hope that the beginning
we have made Is really a beginning-the
first step In an onward march-snd not a
temporary squirt, launched with
tary enthusiasm only to halt as soon as
the first wave OF interest dies out.
"No one can tell what will be the re-
suit OF what we are now inaugurating,
but In any event IL It is TO achieve the
purpose for which It 10 intended II will
be through the support of the people Of
this country and Congress. and by hours
and years Of hard. unrcmittins and un-
spectacular labor by those who have the
actual work in hand"
This Is reasonable and sensible {:
and 1t comforts us to hear a man lu
