CHILDREN MAY Lure
BIRDS INTO HOUSES
AUDUBON SOCIETY PAMPHLET
TELLS JUST HOW TO BUILD
DWELLINGS FOR PETS.

New York, Feb. 19.--When John
ME builds a bird house for a wren,
why does he find 1t occupied by a
chickadee? What bird demands an
apartment house and which one will
be content to live in an old tin can?
How do you build bird house, any
how?
These and many other questions
are answered In a pamphlet on the
building of bird houses, just issued
for the boys and girls of America
by the National Association of Au-
dubon Societies, of this city. The
little book tells to the fraction of an
inch the size of entrances to houses
required for different species of
birds the proper floor space. depth,
the height of the entrance above the
floor and the height the bird house
should be placed above the ground.
These dimensions, 1t is said, differ
in the case of nearly every kind of
bird, thus making it possible to at
tract any desired species about the
home by building a house on proper
specifications.
"a few years ago." said Secretary
Pearson, of the association, "only
four species were commonly regarded
as house-birds-the house wren, the
bluebird, the tree swallow and the
martin. Since the movement to pro-
tect birds and make neighbors of
them began, their natures and needs
have become better understood.
"Flickers readily accepts houses
made according to their standards.
Red-headed and golden-fronted wood
peckers are willing occupants of arti-
fetal houses, and even the downy
woodpecker, a pretty good little car
penter himself has deemed such a
house satisfactory. Shelters having
one or more sides open are used by
birds that would never venture into
dark houses suited to woodpeckers,
and have been occupied by robins,
brown thrashers, and song sparrows
and phoebes. The building of bird
houses brings opportunity for some
very interesting studies of our feath-
cred friends"
The pamphlet issued by the asso-
citation gives simple and complete
saw-and-hammer directions for the
building of bird houses. 1t also tells
how to attract birds about the home.

tiers of the association, 1874 Broad

BODY OF INFANT FOUND
FLOATING DOWN RIVER

Much interest was aroused Satur-
day morning when it became known
that the body of dead infant had
been taken from the Ohio river at the
foot of Frederick street. The body
was discovered by Ben Miller, ne
gro employee at the wharfboat, about
11o'clock in the morning. Accord
ing to the negro he saw small cigar
box floating down stream close to
the wharf boat. His curiosity be-
coming aroused, he fished the box
from the river. Upon opening it he
saw the body of naked infant
child.
Coroner Gillison was notified and
took possession of the body.
The body is that Of fully formed
and fully developed white child. Ac-
cording to the statements of a ply
stefan who examined the body Satur-
day it was born probably about mid
night Friday. There were no
signs of violence upon the body of
the child. -
The body was wrapped in an old
chair cushion cover and the body
damned down into cigar box with
the cover loosely tied on. The police
department is working on the case
and interesting developments are ex-
pected.-Owensboro Messenger.

ated by the war, and not to any 9TH
er cause. Last year, after the Demo-
cratic Tariff had been in force for q
number of months and before the eff
fects of the war had been materially
felt in this country, the mill was en-
ploying a minimum number on its
payroll.
The lowest ebb the mill ever reach
ed in the quantity of its output was
shortly after Cleveland was inaugur-
ated for his second term and DEM
ocratic Tariff went into effect. This
was in 1898, and the mill worked
half-time. In 1894 the mill resumed
full time, with ten per cent reduc-
ton In wages. From that time on
there was gradual advance, and
after Mckinley was inaugurated the
former pay basis was resumed. In
1912 there was seven and one-half
per cent increase, and the announce
ment today makes practically a seven
teen per cent. advance since 1912.

Cloverport, KY, on the railroad

Increase Of Wages.

One of the favorite contentious,
and one of the most untruthful as
we'll. of the enemies of Protection
is that labor has no share in the BEN
eft of Protection. and the employer
gets 1t all. A concrete demonstration
of the falsity of this claim is found
in the action of William H. Grundy

announcement that beginning on
January 8 an additional advance will
be made in wages of the employees
of the mill, the additional increase
being per cent, making total in

advance, the corporation has also an

3 men SHOT FROM :
TUBE UNDER WATER
COMPRESSED AIR LETS GO AND
WORKERS THROWN MORE
THAN 100 FEET.

New York. Feb. 24-one man is
dead and another is missing as the
result of a compressed air explosion
late Saturday in a subway under
construction 100 feet below the sur
face of the East River. A third
man, who was shot with the others
thru mud and water to the surface
of the river, was bruised and dazed,
but soon recovered after removal to
a hospital.
The explosion, believed to have
:, been caused by a leak in the COM
compressed air pumped into the sub
. way to facilitate the work under
construction. imperilled the lives OF
thirty-fve other men working in the
tube. The man killed was Frank
/ Driver, and the missing workman
is John Mccarthy, both described as
miners" With Marshall Mabey, a
helper, they were sent skyrocketing
up thru the roof of the tunnel, into
the icy water.
Witnesses on the water front de-
clared the three men were hurled
fully thirty feet above the surface of
the river.
Rescuers who put out from shore
found Driver still alive. He died.
however, before he could be taken to
land. Mabey appeared only slight
ly injured, while no trace was found
Of Mccarthy.
Method Of Tunneling.
The tunnel Is being constructed
by the "shield method" according
to a statement issued tonight by the
Public Service Commission. The air
pressure holds up the bottom Of the
river, while the shield is pressed for
ward on its course. An air pressure
of twenty-four pounds to the square
inch was being maintained, 1t was
said. The shield had just been NOV
ed forward about twenty-six inches
to allow the placing of another of the
cast-iron rings of which the perma-
nent tube is being formed, when the
compressed air found weak spot
in the roof of the workings and blew
a hole up to the river bed.
Four men were within the shield
and exposed to the danger of being
sucked into the vortex. One OF
them managed to get back to the
shield and escaped with minor in
Jury to one of his legs. The other
three were catapulted to the surface
of the river.
