FEWER BIRDS THAN
In FORMER TIMES
More Encouragement and Pro-
lection Would Increase Num-
Der and Decrease Pests.

Our bird population is much less
than it ought to be, according to the
biologists. More protection and en-
couragement would help to increase
the number of birds and correspond
ingly decrease the number of insect
pests.
That breeding birds prefer thickly-
inhabited centers of population to for
ests in one Of the conclusions of the
census. This refutes the widespread
belief that humans and birds are nat
urally antagonistic.
1t also seems probable that as our
human population increases so will our
bird population.

A Morning Smock.

On the lines of the smock coat for
morning wear is a short smock slip
t. take the place Of breakfast jacket
or morning blouse. These short
smocks fall just to the hip and have
a loose blouse belt to hold the loose,
shocked garments in trim lines on
the figure. The smartest models are
of white OF tan khaki-kool, an all-silk
pongee, with the shocking done by
hand with brown or leaf-green silk.
Elbow sleeves and low, turnover col
lar make the smock comfortable on
summer mornings.

Stop Before You Are Too Tired.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Margaretta futile writes fiction story
entitled "The Runaway Rest Cure"
in which a physician gives a patient
the following good advice:
1T Is not the brain, nor the charac-
ter that suffers first from overwork.
but the body; and 1t is not until after
the body has rendered up it's excess
vitality-its youthfulness-tha the
nerves begin to pay toll. You are not
yet at that place; you are simply phys
ically tired. But this tire Is danger
Gus, because it Is the warning that the
limit of your physical support Is nearly
reached. We are coming to learn the
value of fatigue as warning. Those
who do the best work stop just before
they are tired"
