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 morning symphony the like
of which can 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 appreciat-
ing the Joy of living.
Now, then, is good time for 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 concerted move
ment for small bird protection.

Mound nwelIers.

The name mound dwellers, for want
of a better, is given to the prehistoric
and mythical inhabitants of the cen
trail West. who antedated the Indians.
The mounds. on which the name is
based. were parts OF Notifications or
tombs. and their builders are supposed
to have been remote ancestors of the
Indians. One authority says: THE old
theory that the mound builders were a
distinct race of highly civilized agri-
culturists who had lived from remote
antiquity in the regions of the mounds
and we're eventually exterminated by
the nomadic hordes coming from the
northward. represented today by the
Indians. Is no longer supported by
ethnologlsts, who hold that the Indians
are their descendants" Where they
came from or how they so. here are
matters Of speculation.

UNITED STATES RANKS HIGH
Percentage of IIliteracy Compares

less the list should also include Nor

MARRIAGE AS A VOCATION

Both Parties.

Marriage should be looked upon as

argues one who signs herself "Femin-
ist" in an open letter TO one OF the
daily papers. The writer. who had
been teacher, but who Is now a
mother, has been surprised that be.
ing a wife and mother is a pro
fession. the successful performance
OF whose duties requires all my ef-
fort and all my time" Feminist"
thinks that women generally do not
realize this or refuse TO face II. that
young women. contemplating matri-
mony should be made to realize that
they are choosing profession quite
as important as medicine. law or bust
ness. and that. IL possible, a prepara-
tory course should be required before
granting the certificate to practice the
profession OF wife and mother This
sounds very well and would be ad-
mirable II IL could be carried through.
But as there are two paths in mar.
riage IL would be very one-sided II the
woman received all the training. A
good stiff preparatory course for the
young man contemplating the profes-
sion OF husband and father would be
quite as much In order. IL we have

SCIENCE IN ITS EARLY YEARS
Efforts of Truly Great Men Largely
Nullifed by the Work of the
Sophists.

And so 1t happened that. about $50
b. c., there arose Thales. who, by his
wide experience and the persistent en-
thusiasm with which he carried on
investigation, earned the title of Fa-
ther Of Science. And so, also, shortly
after him, Anaximander, by committing
his knowledge to writing. brought into
existence the first scientific manu-
script. The sixth century. like the
seventh, was still a period of origins.
1t saw the physical researches of Py-
thagoras. and the historical studies of
Hecataeus. In the fifth century Greek
learning reached its climax. This age
was resplendent with the names of
Thucydides, who wrote history with
critical care; of Heraclitus, who con-
ceived OF a universal reign OF law, and
of Hippocrates. the Father of Medi-
cine. Its greatest character was So
crates, the barefooted. questioning
sage Of the market place of Athens.
With ever burning enthusiasm for
truth, this great teacher attempted. by
quiet and candid debate. to aid men to
make their concepts clear. and to give
words definite meanings. trusting that
through the correct use OF the reason
they would arrive at recognition Of
superiority of right actions. The fourth
century was both an advance and a
decline. 1t comprised the work of
Plato and Aristotle. the one elaborat-
ing the concepts OF Socrates with po-
etic power, the other systematizing
knowledge in truly scientific form. But
In this age the demand scr brilliant
