GOOD WORD FOR THE BIRDS
Beautiful, and Useful in Their De-
struction of Much Insect Life
That Is Harmful.

The warm weather has brought the
birds again. Their chirping and sing
ing make a morning symphony the like
of which car be heard from no trained
orchestra. They dot the landscape with
a beauty that no artistic skill can
rival. They are beautiful, useful in
their destruction Of harmful insect
pests and aid us nightly in a~ppreciat-
ing the joy Of living.
Now, then, is a good time for a re-
newed appeal for the lives and we'll
being of birds.
The best instincts of the human race
are devoted to the saving of all kinds
of life, and sanction the taking of life
only when such destruction serves a
purpose useful to mankind.
This cannot be urged in the case of
the birds. For the most part they are
not food animals. The higher intelli-
gence and spiritualism of humanity
should bring about a concerted move
ment for small bird protection.

OLD AGE BRINGS Joy
Three Sisters Discover Brother In
Kansas Soldiers Home Whom
They Had Not Seen Since He
Went to Civil War.

Chicsgo.-Way back in '63 a tall,
broad-shouldered young man went to
wal. His name was Edward Lewey.
In the ranks of the blue he fought
through the Civil war. He left behind
him three sisters. Recently he saw
them for the first time since he
marched away that day with his regi-
ment.
Last August his sisters advertised
for information concerning their long
lost brother. One of the advertise
ments appeared in a newspaper in
Valparaiso, Ind. An old comrade of
the soldier living in that city wrote
to the sisters that their brother was
in the Soldiers home in Kansas.
He was sent for. The three gray
haired women awaited his arrival in
a station in Chicago. He came, but
he tapped a can before him as he
walked. He had been blind nine
years. There was joy, of course, in
the reunion, but there was sadness
too. He could not see them.
No Chance, He Thought.
81 wonder if there's any chance for
you, brother?" asked one of the sis
tiers as they walked slowly away.
Have you had medical attention, and
have you ever been told you could
never see again?"
Il guess it's too late, girls" the vet
eran replied.
He called them girls, because in his
mind they were yet in their teens
mere girls, waving good-by to him and
shouting words of success and good
luck as he tramped away to battle.
Tenderly they led the stopped man
to the office of an eye specialist here.
They asked if surgery could not give
him back what his affection and age
had taken from him.
There was a chance, the physician
said. An operation was performed,
The eyes were bandaged. The patient
must remain in total darkness.
Regains Sight.
At last the sisters appeared at the
hospital, their hearts filled with hope.
They are Mrs. Charles o. Chaplin,
Mrs. Hugh Monroe and Mrs. Sophie
Frechete. A nurse led them to their
brothers room.
Slowly the bandages were removed.
The patient sat dazed for a moment
when the last bit of gauze was taken
away. Then he made a movement

Thomas Hampton Files Petition
Against Company in Circuit
Court at Rockville.

Special Correspondence a The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, September 29-In
the circuit court at this place Thomas
Hampton of Bethesda district, this
county. has filed a petition asking that
a receiver be appointed to take charge
of the affairs of the Chevy Chase to
Great Falls Land Corporation and that
an injunction be granted restraining
the corporation from disposing Of or SELL
ing any Of its property.
The petition represents that the cor
poration was incorporated in 1911 IN
der the laws of the state of Maine.
with an authorized capital of $780,
900, divided into shares of 500 each,
land in what is known as Bradley Hills,
this county. Hampton charges that the
corporation is now insolvent and I'M
able to pay all of it's obligations when
they fall due. and that the financial
difficulties are attributable to lack of
sufficient capital to carry on its bust
ness successfully and that it's affairs
have been "woefully mismanaged."
According to the petition. Hampton
holds two of the corporations notes,
one for $4,000 and the other for
$2,612.50. both of which fell due re-
Gently and which remain unpaid. 1t is
pointed great and irreparable loss
will result to both creditors and stock
holders.
Judge Peter has signed an order fix
ing October for a hearing. Hampton
will be represented by Arthur Peter of
Washington and Benson & Karr of
Baltimore.
