is-and her remarkable power of imitat-
ing any song bird that ever sang, served
to enthralI and amaze audiences for a
year or more, served to make a real bird
note on the stage a possible thing.
Along with the throat and the voice
of a bird, the bird girl also has an ap-
preciative and imaginative love for
natures cheer-bringers, and she was not
satisfied with helping their songs to be
known on the stage and used in exploita-
tion of drama. She became tremen-
dously interested in the real live birds Of
the country and the fate that seemed to
threaten them through our neglect.
They can get along with a flute in
my place on the stage" she explains, but
there will be nothing to take the place
of the birds if someone doesn't get the
country interested in them pretty soon"
And so she became interested in
Percy Mackaye's Sanctuary" the bird
masque produced in several eastern
cities last year, in which Mrs McAdoo,
then Eleanor Wilson, took the part Of
the bird spirit. And again Miss Minahan
was the bird voice behind the scenes.
When Miss Wilson sang the bird songs
Miss Minahan trilled the real bird notes
into it from her hidden corner.
This bird masque seemed to her to
offer a wonderful opportunity, to be the
splendid nucleus of even bigger work
than it was being used for.
Il begged Percy Mackave almost on
my knees for the producing rights of
Sanctuary" she says, "and he finally
gave it to me- Now l am making it a
part Of great big plan, with a big cam
paign needed to carry it through. 1t is
even more work than thought it would
be. But 1t is going fine"
Every time Miss Minahan says 'It is
going fine" she smiles and dimples some
more.
And one quite believes her that it is
So here's the plan that the masque and
the miniature sanctuary in the big hotel
are but parts OF.
The birds, particularly the song birds,
must be protected. We must not only
stop killing them-as they have been
killed. for sport. for plumage. for all sorts

New Principle.


With the calling of the state troops
a new principle in American military
history was established. For the
first time the president was enabled
to send a national guardsman beyond
out either the guardsman's or his
states consent. Under the Hay
Chamberlain army reorganization,
they were simply drafted as the fed
eral reserve"
Bitter protests from dependents
flooded the capitol. Wives and
mothers of men snatched suddenly
from their livelihoods, appeared per-
sonally. Two orders resulted, one re-
leasing men with dependents from
serving, and the other paying as high
as $4,000 month to the families of
those who chose to serve. Two mill
lions was appropriated for this. 1t
was declared to be one the same
principle as the aid European bellig-
erents extend to families of those in
the trenches.
