Within certain limits birds eat the
kind Of food that is most accessible.
especially when their natural food is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some
times injure the crops Of the farmer
who has unintentiona.ly destroyed
their natural food In his improvement
Of swamp or pasture. Most Of the
damage done by birds and complained
Of by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause. The berry
bearing shrubs and seed bearing weeds
have been cleared away. and The
birds have no recourse but to attack
the cultivated grain OF fruit which
have replaced their natural food sup
ply. The great majority Of land birds
subsist upon insects during the period
OF nesting and moulting and also feed
their young upon them during the first
few weeks. Many species live almos,
entirely upon insects, taking vege-
table food only when other subsis-
tence fails. 1t Is thus evident that
in the course Of a year birds destroy
an i~ncalculable number Of insects, and
II is difficult to overestimate the value
OF their services In restraining the
great tide Of insect life.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
CHARITIES AND CORRECTION

Baltimore, Md, May 15.-Dele-
gates of charity and correction or
CARNATIONS from all over the coun-
| try are now in session here. Men
| and women interested in charitable
| work of every description have papers
to read on the various phases of
charity work.
DR.. Edward II. Devine, Phi. D., di-
rector of the School of Philanthropy,
New York, and f. r. A. Seligman,
professor of economics in Columbia
university, New York, made ad-
dresses today.
Unemployment was described as
the most serious cause of restitution
and dependency during the last win
ter: Statistics were cited showing
that in New York City alone during
January and February about 40O,-
900 were unemployed, and evidence
given that few sections of the country
escaped some share in the evil. I'm
usual unemployment was due to the
war, but the winter before unemplOy-
ment was widespread and reasons
were given for considering the prob
lem one of growing seriousness.
The principal causes operating ev-
cry year were described as changes
in centers Of production and in in
dustrial methods, and the increasing
prevalence of seasonal industries 1t
was urged that remedies for unem-
ployment due to these causes would
also prove valuable aids for dealing
with that due to extraordinary causes
like the great war.
1T is much more important that
the right parties marry than to in
sist that they shall never SEPARATE
declared Prof. James H. Tufts, of the
University of Chicago, in a stirring
address. He made an impassioned
plea for broader ethical basis of the
morals of the family.
''There is perhaps no field of ethics
which in the past has been a point
of view more prevailingly negative
than the morals of the family" he
said. 1T has emphasized not only
innocence but ignorance; it forbids
divorce, but takes little account of
positive measures to assure good
homes 1t has had more horror for
illegitimacy than forethought for
healthy children in proper surround
ings.
-Four new values, the value of wo-
mems freedom and development, the
value of the child, the value of sex
and especially of motherhood, and
lastly, the value of sound stock we'll
reared for national life and for the
life Of the world must be reckoned
with in the new ethics of the family
We can no longer meet the situation
by tabOos and negations."
