industrial, financial and economic; and
that the largest problem before the

whether they want the nations fate

critical a juncture, or whether they

magnitude never before known to
history.
This states the issue with remark
able clearness. In determining it the
voters will no doubt bear in mind that
the Democratic President-who will

HOUSES FOR BIRDS

TIME robins We're singing their
defiance to the snowdrifts this
morning and despite the threat
of more winter weather the bluebirds
and the song sparrows were twitter-
ing about looking for summer resi-
dences. And when it comes to select
ing a house to rear its broods Madam
Bird is as fastidious as can be. Not
only must it have the particular kind
of house it wishes to live in, but the
surroundings must be pleasing.
Martins have a decided notion they
want to be near houses, but not with
in twenty feet of trees and buildings.
Bluebirds are inclined to select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbirds
live in thick shrubbery. Robins like
trees with strong branches and big
trunks. Titmice, nuthatches and most
of the woodpeckers prefer woodland,
while song sparrows dwell in weedy
patches and brush fences.
The best house for robins is one
open on two sides with a roof. Robins
will not nest i'm bird box with small
entrance. \ roomY box erected on a
long stout pole. fastened to the side of
houses or suspended from branches
of trees will attract Mrs. Robins eye
quickly. The floor should be about
eight by six inches inside and the
height not less than seven inches,
with the roof overlapping a little.
ON the floor there should be a cleat
to which mud will adhere.
Some birds are satisfied with almost
any sort of lodging. Bluebirds and
wrens want snug quarters However,
they are not very particular An old
tomato can will do. The tomato cans
should be placed in shady places, as
the summer sun heats the metal and
makes it too hot for the tenants.
Bluebirds often select woodpeckers'
old holes or hollow limbs, usually not
more than ten feet above the ground.
A wooden box will make an excel
lent summer residence for Nine. Blue
bird. 1t should be large at the back
and slope twelve to fifteen inches to
an opening an inch and a half or a
little larger, at the front. The floor
space at the back should be about
five inches wide with the ceiling five
inches from the floor. a cleat about
four inches from the back driven
through the bottom of the box will
confine the nest.
Wrens seem to delight in an old
tin can with its bottom nailed against
a tree or house. A tight, dry little
box, about four inches long, taper
ing to an inch opening, also pleases.
Inside measurements of the box at
the base should allow four inches
floor space and three inches height
Flycatchers like these small bunga-
lows, too.
What are you doing to attract the
birds to your premises? A birdhouse
costs little and the birds that nest
therein will pay big rents by Kidding
your plants and trees and shrubs of
countless harmful bugs and worms.

\ REMARKABLE GATHERING

TIME conference for consideration
of measures for the prevention
of industrial accidents held at
the Capitol yesterday was remarkable
in many respects. Those who came
here at the call of Governor Brum-
baugh and Commissioner of Labor and
Industry John Price Jackson repre-
sented a capital investment of more
than two billion dollars. They are re-
sponsible for the conduct of the great
est industries in, the State. They are
the busiest men in the Commonwealth.
Yet, for purely humanitarian reasons,
they laid aside their work for a day
and came to Harrisburg to discuss
ways and means whereby the number
of accidents TO workingmen in Penn
sylvania might be reduced, and how
life and limb might he better pro-
tected.
II is a good sign when men of this
caliber so foregather. Time was, and
not so far back but. that many now
living can remember. when human life
was regarded as the cheapest thing in
was regarded at all. Now, however.
we have come into the understanding
that all industry. dependent upon
humanity as it is, is the better served
by healthy, experienced and in all re-
spects efficient hands. Anything that
the man or institution that employs
him, and inversely. the better the con-
dition of the Workman, the better and
greater the production of the plant of
which he is n part.
But even beyond that, and far more
to be commended, is the growing con-
viction that business is not operated
merely for profit, but that service en-
ters very largely into every activity of
man. and that no service is complete
which ignores any factor in produc-
ton or sales. Service as it is coming

These are the thoughts and convic-
tions that brought the big men of the
State here yesterday at the instance of
the Governor and Commissioner Jack
son to consider the absorbing problem
of greater safety for all working
people.

in the matter of location light and
air. The apartment rented for twenty
seven dollars a month, which they
decided was the right amount for the
Horke family to pay when you con-
sidered that this price also included
heat. Then came the matter Of fur
nishing it, which they figured would
cost two hundred dollars. This they
counted as the savings Of the Yorke
family and not as a part of the yearly
income. The girls visited the depart
ment stores, and supervised by the in
structors, selected furniture and ma
terials, the instructors pointing out
the various differences between good
and bad articles.
Next came the question of light
The school decided to let two students
live in the apartment on condition that
they take care of it and help with the
work of the other girls, and an appro-
priauon of twenty dollars was set
aside TO cover the cost OF eight
months light. Besides this, twenty
dollars was contributed out of the
fund for research work in inVestigat-
ing the recreation and amusement
advantages of the neighborhood. They
wished to ascertain the amount of
amusement the Yorke family could
obtain on an income of $1,000. Thus
out OF the five hundred dollars appro-
priated by the college, S216 was spent
for the rent of the apartment for eight
months; $40 for light; $210 for fur
nlshinSs; $50 for research, and $34
for incidental expenses incurred for
charwomen and janitors' tips.
In disposing of the problems OF the
Horke family, the students fitted
themselves to meet those of their own
homes and by actual experiment and
practice learned to keep house. In
this connection DR.. ClaXton of the
Bureau of Education in Washington
has recently issued a report in which
he says that the practice house" is
as necessary to the equipment of a
machines and cooking utensils, and
therefore should be an accessory to
every public school.
The Department of Agriculture.

General Charles Roques is the new
war minister of France. He has
taken the place of General Gallieni,
who has just given up the office.
General Charles Roques was chiefly
known before the war as the father
OF French military aviation. For
several years he was inspector gem
eral of the aviation service, and is
considered to have done more to give
France an efficient aviation service
than any other man i'm France. 1t
is noteworthy that the French avia-
ton service has been the subject of
sharp criticism within the past few
months and that Rene Besnard,
deputy minister of war for aviation,
was driven to resign not long ago.

The Patria was not attacked be-

such an attack could have been made.

by no means clear with relation to the
