Private {. X. McLane. of Co. l..
did some aorobatic stunts that were
really wonderful. considering the fact
that the space he had in which 40

wooden platform was exceedingly
slippery. This man. with a mai and
the proper space will furnish an hour
of entertainment for the soldiers this

The last man on the program was.
without question of doubt. the most

Washington, Jackson, Cleveland and

checked these outrages on the very
threshold.
America stands humiliated in the eyes
of all the world. The ignoble course of
her rulers for the past four years have
brought her proud fame, pretty near
that of the despised Hermit Nation or
that Of huge, helpless China. Had this
peril suddenly arisen, one could believe
Mr. Wilson was manouverng for time

The federal government is investi.
eating birds, with view to discOv.
ering whether they are harmful or
helpful to mankind. Of forty or fifty
species, exclusive Of hawks and owls,
thus far put through this scientific
third degree, only one has been found
harmful, the English sparrow. This
,uuarrelsome little creature is an un-
qualified nuisance, says Chicago Jour-
nal. All other birds of the group
mentioned are either innOcuOus or
helpful, and many of them are worth
we'll nigh their weight in gold to the
farmer and fruit raiser. OF hawks
and owls there are rs species found in
this country, only six of which are in
furious. The rest either do no harm
at all or more than make up for Occa-
sional depredations by their services In
keeping down vermin. The moral
seems to be that when in doubt about
the character Of a bird, give it the
benefit Of that doubt. The chances
are about IA to 1 that even the sus-
-pected hawk or owl is friend In dis
guise and other feathered creatures,
with the single exception OF the spar
row, are just and righteous altogether.
Middletown transcript., 1917-02-17

The government "bird census'' of
1914 indicated an average OF six pairs
Of robins and five pairs Of English
sparrows on each farm tract of the
standard size (1OS acres) used in the
enumeration. The accuracy of these
figures was widely questioned by peo-
pie who felt sure that the English
sparrow was by far the commonest
bird in the northeastern United States.
However, the recently published re-
suits of the 1915 census also indicate
the greater abundance of robins, in the
proportion Of eight pairs to six, says
Scientific American. A recent esti-
mate by f. L. Burns based on his Sec
tional census made in 1914 at Berwyn,
Pa, places the total population of Eng
lish sparrows in the United States east
Of the Mississippi river at 1G5,O0O,OOO
individuals.

Now that the government has built

Now that the government has built
a railroad in Alaska there bids fair to
be an accumulation of experience at
public expense. Stories of the attempt
to operate trains in the coastal region
beyond the genial influence Of the Jap
anese current are interesting and may
not be greatly exaggerated. 1t is de-
clared that icicles big enough to stall
a train froze on the tracks. The car
wheels froze to the rails While the
icicles were being cut, and had to be
thawed with heavy jets of steam. The
steam jets froze as the wheels were
freed, and then the telegraph wires re-
fused to work. Perhaps there will
have to be closed season on railroads
in Alaska except near the coast.

HELPING BOYS TO BE RoYs.

How many of the men who are TAX
ing such a deep interest in the boys
Of today recall with clear vision their
own hoyhood? 1t is necessary to do
this, or their efforts are likely to be
misdirected. The normal boy is not
only possessed of the germ of tre-
mendous possibilities, as the potential
man of the future, but he is also a
compound Of contradictions, q store
house of energy, and his untutOred
mind is bent to experimentation as
sparks fly upward. He must have an
outlet, and if this is denied him one
way, he will find it in another, says
Omaha Bee. And this is why such a
movement as the Boy Scouts is of serv-
ice. Here an effort has been made to
unite in a practical way the training
that is useful with the opportunity for
reasonable display of animal spirits i;
tendencies that might become destruc-
tive are turned to service, and the boy
is helped to be a boy while being
taught things good for him to know
when he comes to manhood. His mind
and his body are brought into cO-ordi-
mated activity, he finds latent faeul-
ties awakened and dormant powers
brought to life and development. Dis
cipline of word and act trains him to
control Of thought and impulse, and
without hindrance of natural desires
he is shown how fun may be had in
ways that harm none and may help
many.

MORE MURAL PAINTINGS

T Until the placing in the Senate Cham
~ ber of the handsome mural paint
ing by Stanley M. Arthurs, "Ihe De-
parture of Col. Haslett's Regiment
From Dover Green, July 1776," there
had been no artistic commemoration by
brush, chisel or verse, Of any of the
many famous episodes which justly rem
der memorable the history of our state.
1t has been we'll observed that the
school children of Delaware are more
familiar with the notable events in the
annals of the New England states than
with those of their own state, because
everyone of those commonwealths have
lavished no end Of pains and money to
immortalize in bronze, marble, oil or
poetry the noteworthy achievements of
their ancestors.
Rich as is our State in interesting and
notable historical events, pertaining
both to the State and to the Nation,
this neglect is great loss to toth, and
certainly reflects little credit upon our
selves, as inhabitants of one of the til
teen original Revolutionary states.
We. understand bill has been intro
duced in the House by Mr.. Culver ap-
propriating $4,000 for five mural paint
ings to be placed in the Senate.
For it's own honor the Diamond State,
should thus show in immortal art
that lively appreciation Of the deeds of
its famous forebears which their high
merits demand.
Finally, as a source Of education and
inspiration to the youth Of our state
such pictorial representations of the
deeds and virtues of our heroic ances-
tors should be made accessible.
AS he pens this, there comes to the
writer's memory the words he read
many years ago in his Sallust's History
of the Jugurthine War: y have often
heard Scipio, Quintus Maximus, and
other illustrious Romans say that as
they beheld the waxen images of their
ancestors they felt their minds vehe-
mently melted to virtue animum sib
vehementissume ad virtutem accendi. :"
