American Patience Tried

Sir Gilbert Parker, who in the of a recent
interview had much praise for the American gov

with neutral rights. The United States has

In this business of neutral rights the American
people have been called the pedants. There may
be pedants among them but beneath all is
deep-seated respect for international law, for
the keeping of treaties. for a perfect observance
of the rules OF civilization

United States took course almost inevitable

INVITES AND PROTECTS BIRDS
Sense Plan Of Guarding the Trees
on Its Streets.

The town Of Brookllne. Mass, is
teaching the country at large a valu-
able lesson. First of all, of course,
BrOokline had to learn the lesson for
itself. The town priced its trees, and
sought by the usual means to guard
them against the attack of insect
pests. The campaign, however, was
not entirely successful. The leopard
moth invaded BroOkline. and against
this tree enemy poisonous sprays avail
little. Birds alone can hold II in check.
So BrOOkline, a few years ago, went
seriously about the business Of Undue
ing birds to come and stay. In 1910
1t wanted woodpeckers, and 1t issued
its invitation, but only few respond
ed. ThrP" years later Brooklne had
learned enough through experiment to
justify the municipality in building
and placing 100 nesting boxes.
That was the beginning; year by
year since then the work has been ex-
banded. The nesting boxes increased
in number and variety, and during the
winter thousands of birds were fed
daily at 125 municipal feeding sta
tons, operated by the town author
tiles at the public's expense. And now
says report from Brookline, 1.-The
plans for the securing of bird help In
insect destruction will be carried on
during the coming season with greater
determination than ever"

Vegetable Ashes,

Do not throw away any vegetable
ash, for all ashes have a decided gar
den value. Some seem to have the
impression that trashy material re-
turns ashes of little worth, but the re-
verse Is often true. Ashes from cotton
bulls have shown as much as 30 per
cent of potash and sold for $40 ton
Some weeds would prove equally rich.
In addition there is always some phos-
phOrir acid and a heavy per cent Of
lime. That most precious element, nj
trogen, however, was all burned out.
therefore these substances would
prove of greater value If allowed TO
decompose in the soil rather than be
destroyed by combustion. Ashes of de-
ciduous trees, being nearly all hard
woods, are Of more value than those
from eyergreens, for the latter are
nearly all conifers-pines, expresses,

WOULD GUARD AGAINST FIRE
Nationai Board Of Underwriters
Urges Greater Care In the Con-
struction OF Dwelling.

Realizing the large annual losses
sustained by thousands of home own
ers through construction which tends
to spread fires instead of retarding
them, the committee on construction
OF buildings of the national board of
hre underwriters has issued a book
let or 115 pages ON methods of In
creasing the fire-resistive qualities of
dwellings, says Engineering Record.

calities outside the control of build

1ority of ordinary dwellings are built

Information in this presentation of
methods for making houses reasonably
safe from fire. Particularly import
ant not only for builders, but for
owners and the general public, are
the sections devoted to floor and roof
construction; chimneys, flues, smoke
pipes and flreplaces; fire stopping
and general precautions for fire pro-
lection.
such old offenders as shingle roofs,
unlined chimneys, unprotected stair
ways and shafts are strikingly Illus
trated, and many simple and effective,
while relatively inexpensive, devices
In construction which retard the
spread of fire are clearly explained.
Every potential house owner will find
1t profitable to become familiar with
these building precautions, which may
prevent loss of life as well as of prop
erty. Engineers, through their posi-
tons in building departments and
their participation as plain citizens In
civic associations, chambers of COM
merce and similar organizations, can
let it be known that ordinary dwell
ings can readily be improved as TO
their fire-resistive qualities, and can
direct interested parties to the proper
source of information.

Making House Entrance Attractive

To one who must watch expenses
carefully, the solution of the entrance
TO the grounds OF the country house IL
often a difficult task. When one can
afford to employ the services of a
landscape architect the problem IS, OF
course, simplified.
The guiding spirit here, as In the
structural features Of the house itself,
should be to create an entrance, simple,
attractive. substantial and in harmony
with the surroundings.
Stones are generally easy to procure
In the country; therefore stone pillars
with a durable gate between make an
attractive entrance, within reach Of
even the limited purse.
Growing vines and flowers will add
greatly to the general attractiveness
Of this approach and furnish the con-
Meeting link between entrance and
grounds.

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
World May BE Traced to Those
PuanaeIously Inclined.

Most Of us love trouble-that is,
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, II seems. And II
you doubt the statement, all you have
20 do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately "butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter OF politics, II you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose In this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For II really makes little
difference to the average man who Is
elected; indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public. but because he wants a
Hght.
or course all of us like to aatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or group
OF people. But the truth Is most OF
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most Of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers. and not from the peacemakers? p

SAYS HYPN0TISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete SubJection.

Prof Hugo Muensterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
In mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents a vast field for
the expert 1t is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do 1t on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
Norantly used. 1t is simply a case Of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend. the alco-
hOlic tiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
Is necessary to effect cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science of dag
nosis has been carried into the field
OF experiment. Psycho-analysis has a
great future"
