The appointment of thirty-three new
men to the District Fire Department,
which was announced yesterday after
noon by the commissioners, brought
the total strength to 6O7, making it
possible for the commissioners to issue
an order directing that the two-pla-
toon system be put into operation be-
ginning next Saturday.
The order marks the elimination of
two-years' struggle on the part OF
the District firemen and citizens to
secure the adoption of this system.
Every citizens association in the Dis
trict had endorsed it. The increase
of the departments personnel from
j03 to CAT was authorized by Congress,
August 81. 1918, but the men could not
be secured on account of war cendi-
tons. The rehabilitation of many
men in the service has at length
raised the departments personnel to
COZ, and. although this is below the
authorized strength, by suspendins
furloughs for the time being it has
become possible to put the system into
operation.
Men Get shorter Hours.
Heretofore the District firemen have
been on duty twenty-four hours a day
for four days and Off duty each fifth
day. Beginning Saturday the firemen
will be on duty fourteen hours a day

Stokowski Conducts Sym
phony Orchestra as
Never Before.

One of the most exquisitely sue
cessful concerts heard in Washing
ton this season was given at the
National Theater yesterday by the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra
under direction of Leopold Stokow-
ski, conductor.
Stokowski, already proclaimed one
of the worlds greatest conductors,
seems TO grow more skillful in his
mastery at each performance, and
yesterday the fourth concert of the
orchestra here this season, he seem
ed to attain a height never before
reached before a Washington audi
ence.
1t is a fact that Stokowski had
for foundation program of eX-
ceeding beauty. With the orchestra
in It's best form, il is easy to un-
derstand why the result was one of
rare charm. After Mozart's over

awaited with deep interest, but the

numbers, 'Nuages'' and "Fetes."
These Debussy works. marvels in

DON'T KILL THE BIRDS.

| Rochester, Wisconsin,
April 7, 1919.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
1t was the writer's good fortune
to spend the winter of 1918 in the
| vicinity of Abita Springs. l had
come down from Wisconsin in search
| Of Southern sunshine; the fragrance
of the pines, both of which / found
in abundance; to hear again the
| pleasant call of Bob White from
| roadside and thichet, and to study
| native birds.
On homestead five miles from
Abita Springs is located q bird-haven,
where. for many years birds have
| been protected, until they have be-
come nearly as tame as chickens.
| Thrushes hoped about my feet, or
scratched among the leaves for bugs.
Mocking birds danced and Waltzed
with their mates, or perchance paus-
| ed to listen to the sweet liquid notes
| of a Cardinal in the pecan tree close
by.
At day-break came a chorus of
blue bird songs, waited through the
water. But the bird 4 had come
over thousand miles to see was
here-a little beVy of Bob Whites
had come to us for protection, to
escape the selfish sportsman and
greedy hunter. Many circle We
made around our little friends so as
not to frighten them. In Abita the
writer noticed the absence of the
birds, and was informed that boys
are allowed to kill them.
Our government has become alarm
ed over the decrease of birds, and the
rapid increase of insects and larva
that destroy our crops and fruits.
They have made thorough investi-
cation. The craws and stomachs of
insectivorous birds were opened and
proved to be full of destructive bugs
and worms. They find that Bob
White is the best friend of the farm
er and gardner, and the worst enemy
CT the boil weevil and many other
pests would become extinct.
1t is said that in many cases young

guena towels are served on toast

known in the South and that con-
sumers do not know the difference,

friend-Bob White.
In Wisconsin, to-day, we are com
PEELED to go through the laborious
task Of spraying many of our crops
to insure a harvest, which would no,
be necessary had the birds been pro-
tected in time
| We find the best method to pro
| tect birds is by teaching their use
| fulness in our public schools Ma
ture classes are formed and bird
| clubs organized. Each child wears
button with picture of a bird. In
Wisconsin it is a robin. Any one
| can organize bird club, but it
| is usually more convenient for the
| teachers.
In March when the migrants are
| expected from the South, the teacher
tacks on the wall map with pic
lures of our most common birds, or
| she may procure separate pictures
and paste or pin them on piece of
| burlap, which is tackled to the wall.
| The children are then made acquaint-
| ed with all the birds and taught
their usefulness. They are asked to
report the first migrant seen, name,
description, number, etc. Enthusi-
asm grows. Each small boy builds
wren house. The larger boys build
blue bird and martin houses, under
the guidance of their instructor.
Then they proudly carry them home
! to be erected in some chosen spot.
Occasionally the instructor takes the
| class to the fields and woods to study
birds in their native haunts. The
children go home and tell their par
ents; they too become interested and
| the birds are saved
To-day we value our bird popula-
ton as we value our live stock If
any one could be so deprayed as to
kill a song bird Or insect-eating bird,
there would be dozen ready to re-
port. There is a fine of five dol
lars for each bird, and fifty dollars
for the offense.
But our law makers woke up too
late to save Bob White. The last
BIRD has been slaughtered, and never
again will we hear the pleasant call
of Bob White, old Bob White from
clover field and meadow.
If you will write to the National
Association of Audubon Societies
New York City, they will send you
much literature and full instructions
in starting nature class or bird
club.
Don't kill the birds. the pretty birds
That play about your door;
That come to cheer you with their
songs
From fields, and woods, and shore
Your faithful friends that guard tn :
crops
From Weevils, bugs and worms:
Protect them all with loving hands;
You will sure have big returns.
