The Lucky Birds.

In these days OF discussing and
planning and advertising, and clean
ing house and moving, and building
and selling. and reading want adds
Slipping in and out of the clutches Of
the real estate men, We are more
than ever inclined to envy our fussy,
pampered neighbors, the birds. 1t is
no eXaggeration to say that in irving
| ton alone there are almost as many
houses for birds as there are for peo-
pie. and all through the city are bird
| houses of every sort. from plain
/ homemade boX-like cottages, to
gabled affairs on top of high poles.
There are bird bungalows, doubles,
apartments and a few regular bird
! hotels where meals are served daily
on the little front porch. One would
think it would be an easy thing for
a bird to find a house to suit him.
There are no equities, no cash prices,
no monthly payments, and as for To-
cation, a bird can take his choice, for
| wings are less crowded and swifter
than street cars, and more reliable
than automobiles.
Nevertheless. the silly creatures
are hard to please. They find fault
with almost every house We build for
them. 1t is too large or too small,
has too few or too many windows,
or the back door is not right. Mar
tins are very particular about back
doors. There is the possibility, to be
sure that the birds really prefer
their own ideas of architecture, prim-
tive and unsanitary and dangerous
as they may be. On the other hand,
they may think to take advantage OF
our generosity. and may be planning
TO get electric lights and sleeping
porches and alarm clocks. One man
! built a tiny cottage and placed 1t at
the disposal of any bird who might
desire to move into it. Although
there were crowded nests of birds
all about it, none OF them took pos
session of it. He decided that it was
not large enough and that birds pre-"
ferred a tenement sort of life. he
built a wonderful house Of many
rooms. placed it on a pole and ar
ranged a free lunch counter and a
public bath conveniently near. The
birds have, apparently, not noticed
it. They are still quarrelling over
their ugly nests and the children are
still spilling out of them. Perhaps
after all, the trouble is that the birds
! are not accustomed to publicity.
They have always hidden their nests
and the houses we have built for
them we're not made to be hidden.
Perhaps the fault is partly ours IN
desiring that all the world should see
! that we are offering homes to the
birds-and modern bits Of real es-
! tate at that.

As yet We have heard but little
mment on the excellent suggestion

time provides wholesome entertain
ment for the people, and instruction

RENTZ & FIELDER
LEAD POISONING DANGERS.
One of the Most Prevalent of Occu
pational Diseases.

Although lead poisoning is one of
the most prevalent and distressing OF
occupational diseases, little has been
done in this country toward its miti-
cation. Investigations have been
made looking to preventive measures,
but Illinois alone has passed restric-
tive laws. Lead poisoning, or plumb
ism, as the malady is known, is caus-
ed by the absorption of the mineral
into the system either through the
respiratory organs, the skin or the
alimentary canal. 1t manifests itself
in various ways, a common form be-
ing a paralysis known as the wrist
drop" or ankle drop" in which the
victim losses control Of certain mus
cles, but the symptoms range in Sc
verify from lead collie" to blind
ness, Bright's disease and occasional
ly complete >loss of mind. A study
of hospital records in New York city
shows that out of sixty deaths result
ing from lead poisoning in two years
forty were painters. Out. of 100 ap-
parently healthy and able-bodied
painters who were examined SO had
chronic lead poisoning. Out of l.
900 painters in Chicago who were
questioned by the department of la
Dor more than third exhibited
symptoms of it.
The disease is often the result of
carelessness or ignorance. Common
practices among painters, such as
holding the brush in the mouth, plac-
ing putty and white lead in the palms
of the hand, eating before thorough
ly washing the hands and removing
the working clothes, using tobacco
while working and other similar GUS
toms that bring the lead into con-
tact with the skin or into the mouth
are frequently the means of commu-
nicating the disease. Sandpapering
a lead-painted surface is a particu-
larly dangerous operation. as fine
particles of the lead are thrown off,
which the worker cannot avoid
breathing. Such practices are gen.
orally forbidden in Europe, where
considerable preventive work has
been done. A French law, passed
about five years ago. but only lately
going into effect, forbids the use Of
white lead in painting, England, Ger
many. Austria. Belgium and the
Netherlands have various regulative
laws. including reports of all cases
of the disease, compulsory medical
examination, stipulation of the kind
of clothes to be worn by painters.
and provisions for personal cleanli-
ness at factories. Austria has pro-
hibited the use of white lead for all
interior work, and the international
Congress of Industrial Hygiene has
considered the advisability of entire
ly prohibiting its use in all of the
countries srepresented.-1ndianapolis
