In houses used by man. Second.
make the opening large enough for
the bird to enter that you wish to

More Than Paid the Debt.

Some Of us will give a second
thought to the extraordinary achieve
ment of congregation in Geneva, N.
Y, which first built with reckless ex-
travagance massive graystOne
church and then adopted the tithing
system to get them out Of their din.
Guilty. The story is told in Outlook.
When the church was dedicated If
that is the right word-the debt was
$4,000. and the weekly budget $3.50.
The weekly income was less than 500.
In two years the debt has been re-
duced to $4,000 and the weekly in
come is $500. OF the 1000 members
$50 are tithers. A tither sets aside
one-tenth of his income for Christian
activities. The blessings Of happiness
and prosperity which have attended
the people are remarkable. Many
thrilling stories are told. Some church
leaders are deeply impressed by the
success of the system and they are adj
vocating 1t as financial policy

HOW VICTORY WILL Be WON
National Determination to Put Every
Ounce Of Strength Into Righteous
Cause Will Bring Triumph.

Suppose we send 10000 bombing air
planes over Germany. They alone will
not win the war. Ten thousand or
fifty thousand tanks alone will not win
the war. A thousand land battleships
or thousand other fearful land cruis-
ers alone will not win the war. Rain
ing aeath and destruction upon the
civil population as rule has only one
result: It innames the people to
greater deeds, to greater sacrifices, to
greater hate, to greater determination
to win the war. France, England and
Italy are shining examples of this. No,
any one invention is not likely to win
the war. Some day, perhaps, someone
will invent an atomic ray which Is
capable Of pulverizing whole regiments
at stroke. Nothing of this sort is
impossible. But 1t is not very prob
able. Rather 1t is the whole-hearted
devotion of the noncomUatants to
great and just cause that will win the
war. The nation that can throw into
the scales the greatest amount of war
implements, the heaviest weight Of
metal, the greatest amount Of fighters,
coupled with a prodigious use of all of
the best war inventions. will win in
the end-providing that every man and
woman behind the lines constantly
thinks and dreams Of war and victory
and is prepared to put every last ounce
of strength as well as all worldly be-
longings into the righteous cause with
out stint or restraint. The greatest
war invention is the fiery, undying will
to win.-Electrical Experimenter.

FEW STATE LINES CHANGED
Sentiment Has Proved Too Strong,
Even When Good Business Rea-
sons Could Be Advanced.

From time to- time proposals are
made to changeN the boundaries Of
states. One is the scheme to transfer
a part Of western Florida, extending
for $50 miles on the sea coast, to the
state Of Alabama, and another project
Is to annex the northern neck Of Idaho
to the state of Washington.
In support of the proposed change
In each case the chief argument adj
vanced Is that it would place tn, re-
gion to be transferred in the state
with which 1t is most closely allied in
interests. Most of the business of PEN
sacola, the leading city of west Flor
Ida, Is with Alabama, and if 1t were
a part Of that state its Importance
would doubtless be heightened. It is
also considerably nearer Montgomery
than Tallahassee and nearer Birming-
ham than Jacksonville.
Proposals for rectifying boundaries
as well as for dividing states have
been many, the changes actually made
few. Where historic associations
gather around divisional line they
are not easily effaced, whatever may
be the commercial considerations work
ing in that direction. In cases in which
railway connections have made the
business relations of a region closer
with another state than with its own
the remedy is found in the construc-
ton Of new lines. Political geography
enters somewhat into railway build
ing.
