ALETTER TO JUNIORS

Dear Readers of the Junior: There are so many things to talk to you about today, I hardly know where to begin frst-so if this proves to be sort of topsy- turvy letter, why don't think too bad of it.
 First, boys, l want to ask you real big favor. Don't go hunting and kill birds; it's such a cruel sport. and certainly can give you no pleasure to harm the little forest friends. They are really doing a great deal of good too-- for they are actually saving this coun- try ss00,O0o,O00 in money-by killing insect pests that destroy vegetatlon
 To the great majority of people birds are regarded as simply birds, without regard to their special value. They do not understand what the birds are do- found everywhere, throughout the known world, except in the center of the great deserts, and everywhere they are doing a special work of their own peculiar kind, in their own peculiar way, and the work is of great value to the farmer and frust grower of the nation. This alone elNtles each family of birds to protection. Doesn't it?
 And I want to thank the Scouts for distributing the dodgers made for the Baby Week campaign. It was a great service rendered and we mothers are indeed grateful. And want to ask you all if your school hasn't appointed an

THE REAL MARY
 AND HER LAMB

Most children know and love the poem about Mary and the lamb that followed her to school, but they do not all realize that Mary was real little girl who did have lamb so devoted to ner as to fol- low her for long distances
 One spring there were several new lit tie lambs on Marys fathers farm, and it came about that Mary took one of them for her especial care, fed II and had all the charge of it. The lamb was very grateful to Mary for doIng so much to make it happy and comfortable and, after @ short time the lamb dld not want to let Mary out of it's sight But of course, Mary had to go to school, and this meant leaving the lamb behinu for several hours each day. In the mor.rng Mary would say good-by to the lamb, promising to come back as soon aA sine could.
 One day Mary was in sLci a hurry that she forgot to say good-by to the lamb; when she was half way 70 school she rememb cred and, as she dfd not want to hurt the lambs feelings she turned and ran home as fast as she could. Mary had funny little call between song and a cry which she used to call the lamb to her; wherever it was, 1t came run ming when it heard that sa1l. So on this day she called and her eamb came run ming down the road to meet her. The lamb was so glad to be with Mary again that she felt she could Not leave it be- hind. She wrapped 1t in ner coat and carried it with her to school, putting it under her desk when she got there. The lamb kept out of sight for sometime, but, when Marys class was called up to recite, the lamb followed it's mistress The children all laughed and the teacher was so displeased that sne put the lamb out at the door. The lamb waited out side until school was dismissed and then went home again with M~ry.
 All this happened almost hundred years ago. John Rollesto-.e, a young man of 17, heard about Mary and her lamb that went to school; it was he who wrote the poem which is so we'll known to- day.-Christian Science Monitor

associate editor for the Junior, to please ask the principal to do so at once. We are very anxious to have a long list in by next Tuesday. Those of us who are already writing are very much interested, and { am sure you do not want your school to be left out. Just get your principal to telephone in the name of the editor to me-either to The Age-Herald office or to my home phone.
 Spring Is almost here, and the noun tains are beginning already to show bud ing trees and tiny flowers Last Sunday while walking we found a few little for get-me-nots and I saw several yiolets. very close to the ground, yet quite frag- rant and welcome.
 Let's not forget when we walk in the woods to keep our eyes open for new flowers, and ferns and leaf specimens One boy I know has been collecting leaves of different trees and is making a study of forestry in Alabama. If you find anything unusual let me know and we'll tell all your friends about it in the Junior.
 We really have a wonderful variety of cially the flowers of early spirng, so be sure to find as many as you can when you are out.
 Children, just as soon as all of your schools are appointed by your principal, we shall have to get together and talk over the Juniors makeup and policy so hurry and line up. Yours for good time, sIRS. ULLMAN.

READING ROOMS
 FOR CHILDREN AT
 PUBLIC LIBRARY

Last Sunday the simple but dandy Library Primer" told all the little folks of Birmingham how to join the library and what to do while there, and it also told you how to take care of the books. Today we are going to tell you some books you can get at the library if you become a member or go there to read.
 Most boys and girls love to read, and while there. are thousands of books to be read, we shall today only give small list for the boys The kind of book for a boy Is usually story of adventure. Here are a few good ones: Hans Brink er,' by M. M. Dodge. This Is a story of boy in Holland. Holland is always full of oddity. so the story is interesting and profitable. Here is a sea story called "The Voyage of the Hoppergrass," by Edmund Lester Pearson and another sea story by Howard Pyle called Stolen Treasure" and most of us love Treas ure Isand,' by Stevenson. Swiss Fam fly Robinson" may be one of the books father read, but it's dady story yet
 There is the boy that likes to read of heroes. He will delight in Howard Pyles Story of King Arthur and His Knights" and Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe," or H. L. E. Wheeler's Boys Napoleon"
 Some boys like biography and history. Have you read Yankee Ships and Yankee Sailors" by Jomes Barnes? Or Brave Deeds of Revolutionary Sol- ders,' by Duncan; or Boy Life of Ulysses S. Grant" by Helen Nicolay; and one of the best of these is Paul Jones', by Molly Elliot Seawell.
 No doubt you would like Adventures of Buffalo Bill'' by Colonel Cody, who rode for so many years in the wild west shows. And there must be a great deal of interest in such a book as Tudor Jenks,'' Capt. John Smith" Most boys like James Fenimore Coopers Leather Stocking Tales" and Hamlin Garland s life on the prairie lands called Boys Life on the Prairie" Have you read Jack Londons Call of the Gold?'' If not, be sure to do so.
 If you like baseball and football, read A. T. Dudleys books called "Following the Ball. At the Home Plate," Making the Freshman Team,'' etc., and don't for get Leslie W. Quirk's Baby Elton, Quarterback"
 If you like birds and flowers. read John Burroughs Squirrels and Other Fur Bearers" or Chester A. Reeds books about birds.
 The boy that enjoys manual training can read Dan c. Boards Jack of All Trades" "Handicraft for Outdoor Boys,' American Boys Handy Book

conclusion of many a conflict in dayn gone by. The first Boer war, for in- stance, was closed by a banquet at which General Conje-the same was surren- dered at Paardeberg 20 years later-en- tertained the British officers and officials in fine style, the quantity of champagne consumed being, in the words of one who was there, truly surprising"
 The American Civil war ended under an apple tree in a garden at Appomatox, 8 village in the state of Virginia, where the Confederate general, Lee, surrendered his sword to Grant. It was at once re- turned to him. and the two men pledged each other in a f1agon of cider, the only drink available, after which they and their staffs breakfasted amicably together on ba con. beans and ''flap-jacks sweetened with maple sugar.
 On the eve of the last day of the Franco-German war of 1S70-1 Bismarck gave supper to celebrate the event at which besides the members of the German headquarters staff, there were present several French officers. In def erence to his guests. the German chan cellor had arranged that the last shot In the war should be fired by the French
 Accordingly, shortly before midnight Bismarck and the rest left the supper room in the Hotel dc Reservoir Yer sailles, and waited outside in the court yard. Soon single cannon shot sounded from the direction of the German lines. followed after a few seconds interval by an answering shot from the French Immediately afterwards the clocks start ed to chime the hour. and the Franco German war was an event of the past
 A dinner given by General Nogi and fn Ina T1,Jcc !. staff celebrated the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war of 1904, and q simi- lar exchange of courtesies also took place between the armistic commissioners of both armies at Shahotsu But as has already been said it is improbable that any similar cfvilities will mark the close of the Hun, written in blood and fire are too terrible to be so quickly for gotten or so easily forgiven.

When Helen Keller spoke at the Bijou Friday before last, the citizens of Bir- mingham heard woman whom many prominent people have said was one of the greatest characters of the nineteenth century. If this Is true, and believe 1t is, the most wonderful part Is that she has become great through overcoming greater obstacles than any other person who ever lived.
 She is devoted to her teacher, Mrs. Macey, who is an intelligent woman, and has, through her untlring efforts, taught her to speak when speech for Helen seemed an impossible thing. If you think she is sober and sad because of her infirmity, you are mistaken After l heard her talk I decided she got more good and happiness out of life than many who have always been able to speak, hear and see. She can see the bright or funny side of everything, and is very clever with her answers to questions. Some one asked

A Visit to Washington

1 Washington is a very interesting and beautiful city It is located on the east bank of the Potamac river in the District of Columbia. This city is the capital of | the United States
 The first place of interest, visited was the capitol. This is where Congress meets and makes laws for the United States. The first time l went to this building Sentor Oscar Underwood took me around. He showed me the rotunda( statuary hall, Presidents room and senator's reception l room. Each state Is allowed to place two statues in statuary hall, but Alabama has only one that of J. L. M. Currie. Visitors can go through all public build- ings. but they are not shown much of the treasury and White House. without special card. We were able to get one for both of these places The President lives in the White House. Anyone can go In the east room. Besides the east room, we went in the blue room, red room, green room and state dining room We were told that this. dining room is used twice a day by the President and his family. George Washington selected the site for the White House and laid the corner stone. but he never lived in it. The first President to live there was John Adams, in 1900. It is built of vir- ginia freestone.
 Tn 1S14 after 1t had been burned by the British, it was painted white to cover the marks of fire. In the rear of the White House is a sloping lawn. where the Washington children roll colored eggs
 on Easter Monday. West of the White House is the executive office. We went to this place to see the President. He shook hands with me and said, How do you do, sir. I am very glad to see you.'' Across the street from the White House is the treasury We were introduced to tho nrrrx~A ,f s<A1 States and shook hands with him. We had a special guide, who took us all through the building. The architect for this building did not want 1t where 1t is, but the story Is told that President Jackson grew impatient at the long de- lay in choosing, stuck his cane Tn the ground and ordered build 1t here" This
 building obstructs the view from the White House to the capitol, distance of 11a miles up Pennsylvania avenue, the backbone of Washington. The bills are
 made at the bureau of printing and en-
 craving and then sent to the treasury to be signed by the treasurer. Then they go out to be exchanged for many things and finally come back to the treasury to be either redeemed with new money or to be washed and ironed in a machine and sent out as new money.
 | I saw a man cut the old bills in halves with machine and was afraid he would cut his hands. The old bills are destroy { ed in a macerator at the rate of mill lion dollars day. We saw package
 containing s4O.0O0,OOO in new bills.
 The Washington monument can be seen
 from. all over the city. It is 555 feet in
 height. It was fun to go up m rne pig 1 elevator and I wish all you boys and I girls that are reading this letter could go up, too.
 Some other time I'll tell you about the museum. library and Mt. Vernon. ROBERT SMELL. ] 1916 St. Charles street.
