eacn Ulrd should be allowed at least
four square feet of floor space. See
that all drinking fountains, feed hop
pers and other fixtures are raised off
the floor.
Ventilation should be secured by
means of muSlin-curtain window in
the front of the house. Keep this open
at all times, except in very stormy
weather and during severe cold spells.
Provision should be made for the larg-
est amount of sunlight possible in the
house, as this is one Of the best means
of preventing disease. Windows should
be so constructed that the sun can
touch every part of the floor some
time during the day.
1t is essential that the house be
kept dry. See that there are no places
in the roof or sides where rain can
beat in. Also, it is desirable to have
a concrete floor, laid on bed of 10
to II inches of cinders. A dust box,
by feet and ~ feet deep, contain
ing fine dust, should be placed in
each house. In short, for the best re-
suits everything should be done to
give the birds the best housing condi-
tons possible.

"Alien property custodian" is the IL
tie of a new official created by an act

as the trading with the enemy act"
1t relates to the handling and dispo-
sition Of productive properties in the

properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement.
Section of the act says:
"That the president is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties of
and fix the salary (not to exceed
$1,000 per annum) Of an official to be
known as the alien property custO-
dian, who shall be empowered to re-
ceive all money and property in the
United States due or belonging to an
enemy, or ally of an enemy, which may
be paid, conveyed, transferred, assign
ed or delivered to said custodian I'M
der the provisions of this act, and to
hold, administer and account for the
same under the general direction of
the president and so provided in this
act"
Every corporation incorporated
within the United States, and every
unincorporated company doing bust
ness here which issues stock certifi-
Gates is required to send the alien
property custodian list Of its officers
or stockholders residing in a country
with which we are at war, together
with the amount of stock owned by
such person. The alien property Gus
todian is vested with all the powers
of a common law trustee in respect
of all property which shall come into
his possession in pursuance of the pro-
visions of the act, and may manage
such property and do anything in re-
spect thereof necessary to its control
and operation during the war, its ulti-
mate disposition to be settled after
ward. There is reason to believe that
personal representatives of the Ger
man government, perhaps even the
kaiser himself, have become stock
holders in certain business concerns
in this country and the "alien property
custodian" has declared his intention
to root them out.

"Doughboys" Are American
Soldiers, Despite Position
They May Hold in the Army

"a 'doughboy,'" says Stars and
Stripes, official paper of the A. E. F.,
"is an American soldier, any Ameri-
can soldier, infantryman, artilleryman,
medical department, signal corps
sharps, officers and men alike, all are
called doughboys. Our cartoonist is
one, so is General Pershing."
The term "doughboys' dates back
to the Civil war when army wit was
aroused by large globular brass but
tons on infantry uniforms. Somebody
Che must have been a sailor) dubbed
the buttons 'doughboys" because they
reminded him of the boiled dumplings
Of raised dough served in ships messes
and known to all sailors as doughboys.
Originally it referred only to an en-
listed infantryman, but the A. e. F.
applies it to all branches and all
grades of the service.
