tablished on the basis which has
proved successful at the University
of Illinois. This would put the news
paper under control Of a board OF
four students and three faculty mem
bers, give the business and editorial
management to staff of students
chosen for merit alone, and provide
a system Of promotions by which am

income Of the paper would go to im-4

HAS BIRD HOUSE
OF EIGHTY ROOMS
DAVENPORT MAN BUILDS ONE
WHICH HAS ALL KINDS OF
CONVENIENcES.

Davenport, Apri! 6. Herman Rohlfr
OF luz West Fifteenth street, the we'll
known hardware merchant of Daven-
port, has erected with the assistance
OF the fire department, one of the lar
sest and finest bird houses in the coun.
try. Eighty-four rooms which will pro-
vide kitchen. living room. parlor and
bed rooms for many bird families have
been provided. This number should be
able to take care of all the martin
birds in the neighborhood and still
leave a fiat or two for some of the
other feathered flock which, inhabit the
vicinity and are looking for roof to
protect themselves when the spring
showers come.
No provision has been made In the
house proper for a bath, but detach-
ed swimming pool will be provided
down flight, thus alleviating any diff
ficulties that might arise during play
ful moments when the water would fly
at close quarters and flood some of the
rooms ..
The house is six feet high and forty
nine inches wide, has five stories to it.
each one distinctly separate from the
one below and is placed high in the air
on an iron pole, eighteen feet In length.
The house is painted white and Is
crowned by big weather vane. The
vane had not been set when the pho
tographer arrived to take the picture,
the pole having been set In concrete
earlier in the day. With the weather
vane on top of the house, it will be
even more beautiful
Mr.. Dohlff commenced building the
house after New Years and has work
ed evenings since then on the task.
That he has been well rewarded for
his labors is shown by the many com
pliments that have been showered up
on him by people who have seen his
handiwork
All of the work has been done by
Mr.. Rohlff himself, at his home and
part in spare time at the store. All OF
the pillars were turned on a machine
at the store and finished by hand. The
cypress wood used in the structure was
all hand finished and the parts joined
perfectly so as to make the structure
both wind and rain proof.
The five stories Of the house have
all been partitioned off into rooms,
each room having an outside entrance,
The first two floors have little glass
windows making big advantage in
the increased amount of sunlight that
can enter. There are seven rooms on
each side of the house on the first floor
making twenty eight in all. On the sec
ond floor there are twenty rooms, third
sixteen, fourth twelve and fifth eight.
making total of eighty-four rooms.
Each floor except the fifth Is seven
inches high and the fifth story is four
teen inches high to make room for the
weather vane
A bird bath will be placed on the
pole, eight feet above the ground. This

A BOOMERANG.

The anti-preparedness committee
has selected the extinct "armored
dinosaur'' as symbolical of the pre-
paredness move, and is planning
satirical campaign in which speakers
will point to the dinosaur as AL arm
or. no brains. An animal trusting 10
military preparedness, with no intelli-
gent foreign policy, and hence
extinct" T.. -.r.a r. .... ~
The comparison is a, poor one. The
dinosaur did not prepare. He depend
ed on his coat of armor, like the pacl-
fists do on the oceans about this
country. He encrusted himself within
his own shell and put his trust in the
thickness of his hide. The paclfists
would have us do the same thing IN
isolating ourselves from the rest OF
the world. The animals which did
not become extinct, were those that
learned to protect themselves rather
than to rely on their tough skins.
And SO it has always been with the
nations Of the world. Those which
best learned to protect themselves,
have given something to the world;
those that would not fend for them
selves brought to themselves nothing
but misery and left nothing but warn
Ing for those who followed them.
