INVITES AND PROTECTS BIRDS
Massachusetts City Has Common
Sense Plan of Guarding the Trees
on Its Streets

The town of Br0okline, Mass. is
able lesson. First of all, of course,
Brookline had to learn the lesson for
itself The town priced its trees. and
sought by the usual means to guard
them against the attack of insect
pests. The campaign. however was
not entirely successful. The leopard
moth invaded Brooklinp. and against
this tree enemy poisonous sprays avail
little. Birds alone canAold it in check
SO Brookline, a few years ago, went
seriously about the business of Undue
ing birds to come and stay. In 1910
it wanted woodpeckers, and it issued
its invitation, but only few respond
ed. Three years later Brookline had
learned enough through experiment to
Justify the municipality in building
and placing 100 nesting boxes.
Ths was the beginning; year by
year since then the work has been ex-
banded. The nesting boxes increased
in number and variety and during the
winter thousands of birds were fed
daily at 125 municipal feeding sta
tions, operated by the town author
tiles at the public's expense. And now,
says a report from Brookline. "the
plans for the securing of bird help in
insect destruction will be carried on
during the coming season with greater
determination than ever"

Vegetable Ashes.

Do not throw away any vegetable
ash, for all ashes have a decided gar
den value. Some seem to have the
impression that trashy material re-
turns ashes of little worth, but the re-
verse is often true. Ashes from cotton
hulls have shown as much as 80 per
cent of potash and sold for $40 ton
Some weeds would prove equally rich.
In addition there is always some phos-
phoric acid and Il heavy per cent of
lime. That most precious element, nj
trogen, however, was ali burned out.
therefore these substances would
prove of greater value if allowed to
deeompose in the soil rather than be
destroyed by combustion. Ashes of de-
eiduous trees, being nearly all hard
woods, are of more value than those
from eyergreens. for the latter are
nearly all conifers-pines, expresses,

Making House Entrance Attractive.

To one who must watch expenses
carefully, the solution of the entrance
to the grounds of the country house is
often a difficult task. When one can
afford to employ the services of a
landscape architect the problem is, of
course, simplified
The guiding spirit here, as in the
structural features of the house itself,
should be to create an entrance. simple,
attractive, substantial and in harmony
with the surroundings.
Stones are generally easy to procure
in the country; therefore stone pillars
with durable gate between make an
attractive entrance, within reach of
even the limited purse
Growing vines and flowers will add
greatly to the general attractiveness
of this approach and furnish the con-
meeting link between entrance and
grounds.

On the eve of his marriage to n
sweet young girl, many man has
faced the problem whether or no he
was in duty-bouad TO lay bare to her
all the incidents of his past life. good,

tions of manhood that enmeshed him

lion: SHOULD u man who has been

answer quite as frankly: 1t all
depends upon the seriousness of the

seriousness of an error depends en-
tirely upon its consequences. If Il

world is concerned. (What his con
science has TO do with it is quite an
other story, which l am not touch
ing on.)
1t is useless to unfold to fair young
girl a picture of the seamy side of life
of which she knows nothing 1t would
not disturb the tranquility of her per-
feet trust. faith and love. If. on the
contrary more than the two hearts of
the man and maid are involved in the
ruthless breaking of his vows of con
staney, the story of that past assumes
an entirely different significance.

moral right to take upon himself new

inform the young woman about to wed

her future peace of mind, aye happi-
ness. 1t is about the Cruelest thing
man can do to keep tiancee in the
dark concerning it. man should
feel himself in duty bound to inform
her.

science he possesses. The ghost of a

Crushed Coal in Smeltina

A new method of utilizing coal in
competition with oil fuel is being tried
ut Vancouver. Those conducting the
experiments claim that crushed coal
can be supplied to steam-producing
furnaces by the same method that oil
is utilized. The new process is of
special interest to British GQ1Dpia,
as 1t is proposed to apply it 70 elt-
ing purposes in the big mining plants
of the Province. 1t is claimed that
seven tons of copper ore can be smeIt-
ed with one ton of coal by this proc
ess. whereas formerly the ratio was
ton of coal to ton of ore.
