Devoured Many Insects.

In the stomachs of more than 200
birds examined. of 1872 species, many
varieties of injurious insects were dls-
covered.
Considering the situation in Porto
Rico. the Investigators say:
"One of the first steps in an at
tempt to increase bird life in Porto
Rico is to provide adequate legal pro-
lection both for the birds and for their
nests, and to make sure that the laws
are properly enforced. AS an aid in
the enforcement of protective laws no
method is of more value than the edu-
cation of school children. II they are
taught to look on birds as friends and
not TO disturb them. many brood of
Young that otherwise would be de-
stroyed will reach maturity. Courses
In nature study have been found M
teresting and profitable wherever un-
dertaken in elementary schools.

These men have been assigned to me

We want this girl We havs others

He said it with bluster that even
exaggerated the theatrical character OF
the raid itself. Constance did not stop
to weigh the value Of his words, but
through the door she brushed quickly.
Adele might need her if she was indeed
there.
As she entered the little living room
she saw sight which almost trans
fixed her. Adele was there-lylng across
divan, motionless,
Constance bent over her Adele was
cold As far as she could determine
there was not breath or heart beat !
What did it mcan' She did not stop
to think Instantly there flashed over
her the recollection OF an instrument
she had read about at one of the city
hospitals. 1t might save Adele. Be
fore anyone knew what she was doing
she had darted to the telephone in the
lower hall OF the apartment and had
called up the hospital, frantically i'm
ploring them to hurry. Adele must be
saved.
Constance had no very clear idea OF
what happened next in the hurly- burly
of events, until the ambulance pulled
up at the door and the white coated
surgeon burst in carrying heavy suit

With one look at the unfortunate girl
he muttered, Paralysis Of the respira-
tory organs--too large dose of the
drug. You did perfectly right" and
began unpacking the case.

stood by him and helped as deftly as
could any nurse,

had brought Quickly he placed cap,
attached to it, over the nose and mouth
OF the poor girl, and started the ma

as he saw Adelc's hitherto motionless
breast now rise and fall
"A pulmotor," replied the doctor,
working quickly and carefully, IAN ar
,ificial lung Sometimes it can revive
even the medically dead. 1t is our last
chance with this girl"
Constance had picked up the packet
