REPRIEvE FOR THE BIRDS
War in Europe Has Meant That Featf1-
cred Creatures Have a Chance to
Increase and Multiply.

While men are destroying each 9TH
er in Europe, they are giving the wild
creatures a respite. This is not phil
anthropy, but businessman business
Anyone who can point a gun must aim
it at the enemy. But the effect on the
birds is all that the most ardent Audu-
bon society could desire.
France has prohibited all hunting
and the sale of native game. Ordi-
narily, more than 1000 tons OF such
game, nearly all birds, are sold i'm
French markets, not to mention the
quantity consumed by the hunters
Two million pounds of birds represent
a pretty heavy slaughter, and the.
absence of this destruction viii help,
to re-people the woods and fields with,
feathered folk. Belgium, in normal
times, exports more than $4,000 sky
larks for food. Since most of these,
are trapped, it may be that the de-
struction is not greatly lessened In
some parts of the country, but in or
near the war zone birds are immune

BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY
How the News of Fire at His Home
Came to the Man Who Was
Most Interested.

In Liverpool there is man famous
for his calmness on every occasion.
One day he strolled leisurely into the
office of friend.
I've just had a chat with your
wife," he began.
Why. didn't know she was in
town."
"Oh, she wasn't in town." replied the
other Il called at your house."
Il didn't know she was receiving
today" said the husband, with some
surprise. Il thought she had a head
ache"
She didn't mention it to me-" said
the calm man. There was quite a
crowd at the house"
"A crowd" echoed the husband.
YES" went on the calEa man. They
came with the fire engine"
The fire engine!" gasped the hus.
band.
oh, it's all right" went on the
calm man. It's all right now. 1t
wasn't much of a fire, but thought
you'd like to know of it."-Pearson' s

Questionable Point Of Law.

There appears to have been con-
fiict of opinion among the early Eng
lish judges as to whether breaking out
was burglary at common law. me
same doubt as to whether breaking
out constituted burglary at common
law, which existed among the early
English judges, has arisen among the
American Judges. The recent case OF
Lawson VS.. Com. L. R. A. 1915D, 972.
holds that burglary may be estao-
lished by proof of breaking out as wen
as breaking in, under statutes proVla-
ing punishment for any one who snaii
feloniously break any dwelling mouse
and take away anything of value, ant
requiring statutes in derogation OF the
common law to be literally construed
with view to promote their objects

CARLYLE CALLED US BORES
Equality Developed Monotony Of Type
In country's Second Epoch, Was
His Assertion.

Prof. Max Farrand of Yale, lectur
Ing on American Traits" as developed
In the epoch of 1912 to 1910, said
at Lowell institute recently, the Kan
sas City Star observes:
Equality of status is, of course.
not characteristic, but a condition;
yet 1t is factor which has led to
the development of important Ameri-
can traits. Here, where, If absolute
equality did not exist, at least there
was far greater equality than there
was anything else; where, If there was
not equality of opportunity for all,
there was at least some opportunity
for all, the European relationship of
superior and inferior classes could not
long continue. The inferior of today
were too likely to become the 'supe-
rior' Of tomorrow.
This meant, of course. a great slim
illus to independence, and developed
the peoples self-reliance. Independ-
ence is one Of the most conspicuous
American traits, and it has been not
without unpleasant manifestations. Ut
has induced a lack of respect for au-
thority and for elders, and the exist
ence Of equality has tended to a re-
markable monotony among the people
who developed these opportunities, till
Carlyle could say: Americans have
begotten, with rapidity beyond re-
corded example, 5000 900 of the great
est boreS ever seen in the world be-
FORE
yet in contrast with this deadly
equality, the existence of opportunity
for all individuals also led to strong
individualism among Americans, CIV
ing each man chance to develop
what was in him. Hence our love
for the self-made man, and hence the
American devotion to leaders rather
than to principles"

STOPPED SHORT
Taking TONES, and Built up on
Right Food.

The mistake is frequently made of
trying to build up worn-out nervous
system on so-called tonics.
New material from which to rebuild
used up tissue cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food.
Il found myself on the verge of a
nervous collapse, due to overwork and
study, and to illness in the family y
writes Wisconsin woman
My friends became alarmed be-
cause l grew pale and thin and could
not sleep nights. I took various
tonics. but their effects wore off
shortly after l stopped taking them.
MY food did not seem to nourish me.
Reading of Grape-Nuts, 1 determined
to stop the tonics and see what a
change of diet would do. l ate Grape
Nuts four times a day with cream,
and drank milk also, went to bed
early after eating a dish of Grape
Nuts.
In about two weeks was sleeping
soundly. m short time gained
weight and felt like a different woman.
Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the
only agents used to accomplish the
happy results" There's a Reason"

Confessions Of a Census paddsr.


You see it was this way, from the
Atchison Globe: Atchison lost popu-
iation heavily in the last ten years,
according to the census returns just
made public. When Atchison's pop
ulation was returned as 1883 ten
years ago 1t was part of scheme to
throw the county population above
thirty thousand and thereby increase
the pay of county officials. And it
Rvailed the county officials nothing,
for d. M. Cain blocked the scheme.
Being on record as having 1888 in
1905 Atchison annually thereafter re-
fused to make a new census and, in
spite of protests by state officials, kept
sending in the 1905 report. Weary
Ing of the continual pressure it was
decided last summer to take" the
loss and let the population go in at
what it really was. That was 1928.
Actually, of course, there has been
q gain in population in ten years. Hun
dreds of dwellings have been built in
that time, the building permits in 1915
alone amounting to over one-fourth OF
q million dollars.

Cannot Quote Directly.

Washington newspaper men cannot
quote any official directly without his
consent. Sometimes a cabinet officer
or senator or representative will say:
You can use this and say that l said
it," but more frequently information
is conveyed in words like this: For
your own guidance / will tell you that
such and such thing is likely to hap
pen. You can use the information but
don't say from whom it comes"
If any newspaper man in this town
oversteps the mark and quotes d.
rectly when he should not do so, he
gets into trouble. If it is known that
he has coupled an officials name with
statement without permission other
officials will fight shy of him in the
future. It is only fair to the CORE
spondents to say that any mistakes
of this kind generally are made
through a Misunderstanding.
OF course the president of the Unit
ed States never is to be quoted di
rectly except on the extremely rare
occasions when he gives permission
Most of what the president says, how
ever, to the newspaper men, directly
or through his secretary, gets into the
papers with some such advance words
as 1T can be said on high authority.
or Friends of the president let it be
known today" or something of this
nature.

Endeauorers Cheer as
Old Glory and c. E. Flags
Flash to Nations Hymn

If you had a sneaking suspicion that
the great gathering of Christian En-
deavorers of Pennsylvania, in session
for their State convention. aren't fully
alive to the patriotic preparedness idea
that is sweeping through these United
States, that suspicion would have been
emphatically dispelled last evening
when "Old Glory" and the Christian
Endeavor flag were unfurled together.
The flags were suspended over the
big hall, the American flag above the
Endeavorer's flag beneath, and both
were picked out in electric lights. For
the first time last evening when the
auditorium was crowded TO the doors
the great gathering swung into The
Star Spangled Banner" Suddenly the
hall was darkened and high over head
the two flags rolled in waves of electric
light. The cheering that greeted the
flags nearly suggested a Chicago con-
vention.
The flags had been installed by the
Harrisburg Light and Power Company
which incidentally also loaned the
committee in charge the use of sixteen
or more electric fans to help keep the
big hall cool.
