Birds Increase During War.

Wild birds which were formerly
shot as game have been increasing
rapidly since the war in France, Bel
GUM and other countries, according
to T. Gilbert Pearson. secretary Of the
National Association OF Audubon So
cieties.
For example, the French govern
ment has stopped all hunting" he
said, "and the minister of war has is
sued an order that the sale of native
game would not be tolerated. Ordi-
narily more than one thousand tons
of native-killed game are sold annual
ly i'll the markets of France, repre-
senting many millions of game birds.
Belgium in time of peace was one
of the greatest bird-catching countries
in Europe. More than fifty thousand
skylarks, as we'll as hundreds of thou
sands of other birds, We're annually
trapped and exported from that coun-
try for food Our correspondents
have found that there was less hunt
ing in all parts of Europe than for
merly."

There was one woman, seventy-six years old,

cards and novelties used in the United States
came from there before the war.
OF late years America has taken the lead III
the making of valentines. We supply our own
market and export large quantities to all paris
of the world In New York is located one or the
largest supply houses in the world, and a large
force is kept busy throughout the year TO meet
the great demand.
The principal types of valentines are the comic.
the odfashioned lace and the novelty, the latter
being the most expensive The most popular
appear to be the comic, which are photoengraved
and printed in color in the usual way
Special machines are required In the ~producuon
of the lace valentines. The novelty valentines
are mostly made by hand. One OF the pictures
shows the machine which makes the paper lace.
There are two rolls, one die, and the otner
matrfx of the desired design. The wide paper
ribbon runs between the rolls and Is cut o.
them brush bears against the matr1x roll
cleaning of any adhering bits OF paper. Another
brush bears against the ribbon, removing the
cuttings from the lace. Before entering the rolls
the paper is chalked. thus preventing the lace
from sticking to them and being torn. The lace
paper is fastened to embossed cards with paper
hinges small hand-operated machine makes
the hinges It creases long strips OF paper py
folding them IN and out, and from these strips
the hinges are cut OF as desired. the caras 20
which the lace patterns are attached are printed
In large sheets with suitable design and then
they are embossed. The embossed sheets are
then passed on to the folding table where they
are folded N sets of1three and then led into the
cutting machine, which IL provided with scaIioped
edges The hinged lace frames are then glued on
to these cards, forming the old-fashloned hce
valentines, which find wide favor.
One Of the simplest valentines consists OF cards
with various celIuloid ornaments attached thereto
These ornaments are cut out by hand with
nunch and 4 maui simple riveting machine
