Bird Prote otion 10 War Measure.

Protection and conservation Of song
birds as war measure is being advo.
Gated throughout the country by rep
resentatiyes of the Audubon society.
Mrs. B. F.. Williston, Detroit club
woman, acting on the request Of T.
Gilbert Pearsons, secretary of the Ma
tional Audubon society in New York
city, is raising fund in Detroit to
further the work.
IF ever the country needed increased
production of crops, it is now," said
Mrs. Willitson, land the song birds
must be preserved to save the crops.
To me this work is as vital as Red Cross
work, for it has been shown us how
short time we could live if the song
birds were destroyed,
"In some sections of the country il
has been found that people are killing
the song birds for food. This practice
should be stopped at once, for the birds
eat the insects which are harmful t
the crops.
Lecturers and literature are to b'
sent throughout the state in an effor
to stop the killing of song birds, Mrs
Edith Munger, of Hart, Mich, wh'
became president of the State Audubon
society after the death of Jefferson
Butler. of Detroit, is also actively en-
gagged in spreading the work.-Detroi

While and very unusual; she is one of
those exceptionally attractive women
who has very little to say about her

sympathy that brings a sudden mist to
her gentle eyes when she speaks of
the suffering sorrow abroad in the land

you mention something concerning it

I should say, after a five-minute talk
with Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip that she
is a wonderful combination of poise and
emotion. brains and heart, which makes
for a personality wholly charming and
fascinating.

present war is being fought In
the machine Shops the munitions
factories, the wheat fields, the coal
mines. on cargo ships and railroads, as
much as on the actual battlehelds, and
that women are working in many OF
these various industries just as men
are, then we would realize that one of
the wars greatest by-products is the
revolutionizing of the entire woman
world from a butterfly existence TO
something serious and worth while"
In hurried chat with Mrs. Frank A.
Vanderlip, short time before the lunch
con given in honor Of her distinguished
husband and herself yesterday, she en-
phasized tremendously the part that
women are playing in the present world
war and what 1t had meant to them in
the matter of sacrifice and work
Parentnetically, l my remark that my
chat with Mrs. Vanderlip was arranged
as many good interviews are with the
scenic effect of a moving picture show
people were coming and going; she was
being introduced right and left to doz-
ems of women; there were dozens of
others darting to and fro in the foyer of
the big Tutwiler hotel, while she and I

"Everywoman" Seat
Sale Opens Tomorrow

Tomorrow the seat sale opens for the
wonder play, "Everywoman," which will
be disclosed by Henry W. Savage at the
Jefferson Christmas matinee and night
and the following day matinee and
night.
Henry w. Savage believes in giving
the amusement lovers who do not hap
pen to reside in and around New York
the same privilege of seeing worthy per-
formances of his production as the New
Yorker has himself Therefore in send
ing his immense production of Every
woman" on tour he has not cheapened
the cast or cut out any Of the trap
pings. The production as a whole, Just
as it was seen ON Broadway, will be
offered here. The effort to tour a pro-
ducton the size of "Everywoman'' is an
extraordinary one. In the first place
there are really three separate organ
izations merged into one. There is a
large dramatic company of 81 speaking
characters. Then there is grand opera
contingent with soloists and chorus; be-
You'd that there is a musical comedy
company with principals and chorus.
Added to all this there is scenic produce
ton which requires tons of mechanical
and electrical effects and costumes
which were especially manufactured for
this production. Then to round out the
whole, there is a symphony orchestra
to render the score that was especially
composed, for "Everywoman" by George
Whitefield Chadwick, dean OF the New
England Conservatory of Music.
