Birds Get No Fun Out of sinoina.

"That the singing Of birds bears no
analogy to the singing of human be-
ings, and Is neither to please them
selves nor to please others, is obvious
from ut least two facts: One is that
birds with defective or only half ar
ticulate voices will sing just as joy
Ousy and perslstently as do birds
whose instruments are perfect" John
Burroughs writes in Harper's. 81 have
witnessed this in the case of the
hermit thrush, the bObolink and the
cockerel of the barnyard. The birds
Of the wood and of the meadow quite
ignored their split whistles, and the
cockerel arched his neck and inflated
his lungs ana went through with the
motions Of growing just as proudly
and repeatedly as did the cock he was
challenging"

WHEAT SUBSTITUTE
RULE IS REMOVED
RESULT OF PEACE RELEASING
SHIPS FOR CARRYING
GRAIN.
No Substitutes Need Be Used with
Wheat Four--Will Guard Against
Hoarders and Profiteers.

With the war over, all regulations
requiring the use Of substitutes are
abolished by the U. S. Food Admins
tration for Wisconsin, and white
bread made of wheat only may now
be eaten.
Hotels, homes and bakers, may now
purchase wheat flour without being
compelled to buy and use one pound
of substitutes for each four pounds of
flour But the wheat loaf should be
eaten sparingly, however, and the
conservation of all foods continued.
Plans are now being worked out to
care for the stock of substitute cere-
ais which millers or wholesalers have
bought before November u. Under
the new program the coarse grains
will be used primarily for animal
feeds.
Result Of Peace.
The suspension of the wheat rules
has been brought about by the signing
of peace with Germany and Austria.
Merchant vessels are now released
from military service for transporting
the large wheat crops which have
been held in India, South America and
Australia. The Mediterranean route,
which was formerly closed by the
war, may now be safely used by the
cargo ships for bringing food to re-
lieye our shortage.
No Profteers.
Hoarding of food and profiteering
upon staples will be suppressed wher-
ever found Al cases must be re
ported to the State Food Administra-
ton, and measures will then be taken
to stop it,
The Fair Price Fixing Committees
will do their share to prevent profit
eering by determining reasonable
prices for foods and publishing them
in newspapers for consumers to read
before shopping at grocery stores.

There's a certain gregariousness in it, tie
instinct of the herd, the eyes Of other
fellows on you. And after all, to face
death requires less courage than to face
life, which, at any rate by the time you
are forty, is. much more terrible Of the
two.
"But there's another kind of courage
the courage TO take lonely decisions amh
n dance of conflicting ideas, to resist the
opportunities of pity, or maybe of pru-
dencc, and all the reckoning spectrcs Of
imagination; that kind of courage-reso-
luton, in fact mean what that chap
Conrad calls power to ignore the 'solici-

We get glimpse Of the subconscious
workings of the minds Of the soldiers
in the stories of shell shock which "Cen-
turion" relates-dreans and episodes in
which the normal, subnormal and super
normal are conjured in pictures almost
lurid in their fantasy, and which do
credit no less TO the authors perceptions
than to his imaginative sense.

book on dogs is the sie.y Of the adven-
lures of two boys through whom we meet
a variety of interesting characters such
as Sam Bumpus, Mr.. and Mrs. Hartshorn,
Tom Poultice and some others. The most
interesting and most amusing of all is
Sam Bumpus, who philosophically says:
"There's two kinds of people in this
world, them that likes dogs and them
that don't, and you cant never make one
kind understand how the other feels about
it. 1t just amt possible. And if you
don't like dogs You can't never know
dogs, and if You don't know dogs you're
missing-well, l can't tell you how much.'
Dyer discusses dogs Of many different
breeds and many different lands, from
the husky ST. Bernard of the Alps to the
street cur. At the end of his book Is
found list Of the more important va
rieties of dogs grouped under five head
ings-non-sporting and utility, sporting
breeds, the terriers, toy dogs and Arctic
and sub-A breeds. There is also at
the end of the book list of ''things TO
know about dogs" a sort of brief index
which shows the reader where TO find
out about everything from bench shows
and the care Of puppies TO fleas. The
book is illustrated with photographs and
excellent pen sketches.
