Birdd. club
: Notes

A complaint is made that wood
peckers are killing some of our
trees. Woodpeckers do not attack
healthy trees. They are after the
insects which are sapping the life
from the trees. Ornithologists tell
us that woodpeckers bore into dying
and dead trees only driving his,
chisel.like bill into the wood to dig
out the insects and using his long
tongue to explore their hidden re-
treats. Were it not fot the wood
peckers and other birds the pests
would destroy many more of our
beautiful trees. Protect the wood
peckers instead Of destroying them.
A pair Of wrens are again nesting
under the roof Of our back, porch;
this time in a,cigar box put up for
their accommodation. They are a
very busy pair.
It is found that the flicker read
lily appropriates a box or house for
nesting. By providing boxes for
them we may increase their num-
bers on our premises. They are
useful birds as their chief food is
ants which are such pest during
the summer months.

There Is a little French church in
the heart Of Philadelphia which has
given and given to the great world
strife, ever since the war began, life
blood and widows mites. and in the
face of poverty is still giving, giving,
according to Philadelphia correspond
ent.
Not one man between seventeen and
fifty years old remains in the member
ship of the little church Of st. Sauveur.
All are at the front, some are with
the French army, some are with the
United States forces, but all have gone.
All are fighting for the same great
world ideal.
They have left mothers, wives and
little ones who do not complain, but
give to the last penny, not only for
those they love, but for the relief of
all suffering
Nearly all Of them are working pe0-
pie, but, in addition to the struggle
for bread and butter, they have found
the way to adopt and support four Or
phans in France. In addition to the
incessant knitting and sewing for the
little war 0rphSns here these brave
women have also found time to make
and send countless wooden comforts
and relief supplies TO the war victims
in France and Belgium, the orphans
and the wounded. They also subscribed
to the starving Armenians.

"pill Roxp Defense.

The "pill box" defense appeared in
the German lines some time this year,
says the Scientific American. The
''pill box" Is the British soldiers name
for a small, round, concrete block
house which contains German machine
gunners. The "pill box appears to
be the smallest Of German concrete
defenses, some Of which are nothing
short Of fortresses in every sense Of
the word.
The spill box strategy, which has
been offset by heavier allied gunfire,
comprises the use Of shell holes, trees,
rocks and every other available shell
ter for machine guns, instead Of the
old style rows of trenches. In other
words, there is q "zone of defense"
The organization of this zone Of de-
Tense is such that the aerial observ-
ers Of the allies cannot detect the in
dividual machine gun posts; hence d.
rect hits by artillery become almost
Impossible except by mere chance.
