PROTECT THE SONG BIRDS
Sound Advice Which is as Applicable
to United States as to Cana
dian Farmers.

Our songbirds are now on their way
to their Canadian haunts, and some
Of them may have arrived when these
lines are read Their return suggests
the old admonition- protect them in
every way possible, because they are
the best protectors of our gardens, our
garden crops and our orchards. With
out these birds the insects would "eat
us out Of house and home"
In an article on the protection of
wild life Jack Miner condenses the
whole case into a single paragraph.
He takes the-robin as the representa-
tive of our winged allies in the war
fare against insects and worms, and he
states his case in this fashion:
''Now what good is the robin? Ev-
erybody knows the robin. A boy came
along the road with a % rifle, saw a
robin sitting there, and killed it. |
went over and picked the robin up.
Two cutworms were sQuirming on the
ground-the robin had had them in
his beak. held the bird up, and two
more fell out of his mouth. Remem-
Der, one cut worm will cut down five
tomato plants in night. The cut
worm does his work and then hides
under the soil; Mr.. Robin comes hop
ping along, picks in there and pulls
him out-and then turns him into a
robin. If anyone tells you that a
robin will destroy one hundred cut
worms in a day take it from him that
it is us-"-A0nIF@. Herald.

Inherited Stature.

1t is indicated by research that
while short parents tend on the aver
age to have short children, they may
and frequently do transmit character
istics which lack the shortening ele-
ment and have tall children. On the
other hand, children of tall parents
are always tall. The offspring of two
very short or short parents are more
variable in stature than the offspring
Of two very tall or tall parents. Also,
whereas the offspring of two very
short or short parents tend, on the
average, to be less short than the
parents, the offspring of very tall or
tall parents do not tend to be less tall
Not only is stature as a whole in
herited, but also, and even more clear
ly, each segment of stature. such as
neck, length Of torso, thigh and fore
leg. And the Inheritance of the length
of these segments follows the same
law as does the length Of stature~as a
whole.

BELGRADE TO "coME BACH"
Citizens of Serbian Capital Confident
Their Beloved City Will Rise
From Its Ashes.

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and
Jugo-Slavia, is now mere shell of its
former self. The Serbs used to be
remarkably proud of their metropolis.
Did they not possess a city with first
class hotels, electric cars, boulevard.
good shops, and all other modern con-
veniences, not to mention profusion
of the coffee houses and gardens so
dear to the heart of the Serb?
These coffee houses of Belgrade are
more of an institution than the tavern
ever was in London. A cupful of
black coffee in public garden, mil
itary band playing the weird Slavic
songs, and the young people dancing
the old folk dances on the grass-these
represent the height of contentment
to the Serb after a days work.
During the war, however, there was
little coffee drunk in Belgrade, and
the Serbs have forgotten how to dance.
While the streets of a city are system
atieally shelled by the enemy, and ev-
cry ablebodied man is off to war, the
citizens think less of comfort and con-
Germ themselves with safety.
Belgrade was deserted, but its peo-
pie, those who survived, are coming
back to their wrecked homes. They
are still battling with hunger, and their
loved city is in chaos. but they are
hopeful. AS the capital Of a Slav re-
public, Belgrade has, they believe, en-
tered upon a new and more suspicious
era of its history.

suenEeion.

There are minds so habituated to in
trigue and mystery in themselves, and
so prone to expect it from others, that
they will never accept of plain rea-

to devise causes for it that are obscure,
far-fetched and usually not worth the

their highbred theories to death, in
order to come at truth through by

BATHS ON ANCIENT VESSEL
Wonders of Old Greek Ship AS They
Were Described in Lecture by
Harvard Professor.

An ancient Syracusan ship-a Greek
Mauretania-that carried vast cargoes
and had gymnasium, bath, lounge
and gardens aboard, was described
by Prof. w. s. Ferguson of Harvard In
a lecture on Greek economic develop
ment.
Professor Ferguson said 1t was of
the three-deck type, with 20 banks of
oars, that required one whole year In
building, and which was manned by
a crew of 300 sailors, together with
900 marines.
In It's hold it would carry 10000
bushels of wheat, wool, thousands of
Jars of salt fish and other foodstuffs.
Its cabins were decorated with elab-
crate mosaics, one set of them pictur-
ing all Of the HAD
Its chambers included a gymnasium,
"a lounge with book SHELF a bath
provided with 80 gallons of water,
stalls for horses, gardens" or con-
servatories, and, in addition to all
these luxuries and necessities, it had
equipment and engines Of defense
which gave it the character almost Of
a ship of war.

Ministry of Mlrth.

An ex-member of the London county
council, the Rev. II. B. Chapman, vicar
of that quaint relic of old London, the
Savoy chapel, marooned in back
water of the Strand, has emerged into
print, in the columns of the Morning
Post, on the great amusement ques-
ton. Mr.. Chapman is convinced that
all is not well in the theatrical state
Of England, and there are many who
agree with him. Still he Is no mere
iconoclast. He has his remedy. 1t
is a very simple one-a ministry of
mirth, headed by an ideal chief, and
established without delay. But then
Mr.. Chapman admits that he is an "in
corrigible optimist." Perhaps Mr.
Chapman might add to the gayety of
nations by editing new edition of thu
works of Demokritos of Abdera, thC
Laughing Philosopher, unless, as is
quite possible, and not without. rea
son, he regards Demokritos as the frs
Of pessimists.

Little Mildred was very fond of ripe
olives, and her mother had to watch to
see that she did not overindUlge. One
day there was company, and Mildred
managed to have the olive dish stopped
near her plate.
After the meal her mother, pointing
to the pile Of pits on Mildred's plate,
asked:
"How could you make such a pig of
yourself? | should think you would be
ashamed to see so many pits, and
ashamed to have others see them"
Mildred hung her head and replied ::
81 was. That was the reason | threw
all the rest of them on the floor

ing, "WOe unto the foolish prophets
that follow their own spirit and have
seen nothing"
Bert slipped into a seat at the back
of the church and Immediately fell I'M
der the spell of the sermon or of the
young woman, or both. That the rest
of the congregation was under the
same spell was evident from the way
every one leaned forward in his seat,
hanging closely to every word that
was uttered with eyes fixed intently
on the girl that gave voice to them.
No one was sleeping or even drows-
ing.
When the services were concluded
Bert sat in daze while the others
trailed out of the church.
"Too frivolous = he said repeated
ly to himself. "Here I've been criti-
Ching her for smiling and looking on
the bright side of things, because /
thought she had no serious thoughts;
and all this timeNshe's been preaching.
Talk about foolish prophets. I'm the
prize one of the lot"
The girl who had delivered the
sermon came along the aisle and
stopped by his side. He leaped to his
feet, CROPPED for words, stammered and
twisted his hat out of shape behind
his back, like he was peasant stand
ing before a princess.
"Genevieve," he managed to say.
"Genevieve, can you-can yOu-can
you forgive me for the way l have
acted and-and for the things l have
thought? And-and will you let me
go home with you and will you-do
you think you can listen to- me while
while I try that proposal over
again?
She smiled-that same old smile
and he was glad, because he had sud-
denly discovered that he liked it.
Perhaps I ought not to forgive
you" she responded, "buts-and she
tapped the black, leather-covered book
under her arm-"this teaches us that
forgiveness is right. Yes, you may
come with me, Bert and I'll listen to
what you have to say. l was perfect
ly serious that other time; but Won
see sometimes a girl smiles to hide
her emotion, and sometimes one gets
SO nervous that one has to keep the
hands busy. That's why / couldn't
stop playing the piano. I'll try this
time, though"
'Please play it-and SMILE" pleaded
Bert. I'D dearly love to propose to
music, and smiles beat tears all to
pieces" !.

Everybody stops to look at a clock
in the offices of the Manufacturers
association in Seattle, Wash 1t is a
curious timepiece, the works of which
are incased in a hollow section of a
Douglas fir log, about $50 years old.
The section Of the log serves admir-
ably as a dial for the clock. The ap-
pearance of the clock is not its only
claim to distinction. It's size only
warrants more than ordinary interest.
The dial of this clock is more than
three and a half feet in diameter and
the minute hand more than four feet
long.

Death of Judge Doe.

Judge E. N. Doe, of Flagstaff,
one of the oldest and best known
attorneys in the state, passed
away very Unexpectedly last Sun
day morning. The aged jurist
has been in feeble health for
some time, but none of his init
mate friends thought the end
was so near. Judge Doe has
been a resident of Flagstaff since
1887, and has held many respons-
iole positions in the state, at one
time being a member of the su-
preme court in the territorial
days: He was nearly seventy
years of age.

Small Blaze.

Early last Friday evening
smoke was seen coming out of
the basement of Richardson Bros.
Indian Store. Passersby broke
open the iron sidewalk CRATES and
the windows to gain admittance,
and a garden hose from a neigh
boris back yard was pressed into
service to extinguish the fire,
which proved to be a pile of bur-
laps bags. No material damage
was done further than filling the
building with smoke, and fright
ening the Mesdames Richardson,
their husbands being in the coun-
try at the time.

Czech-Slovak Soldiers.

Last Tuesday four trains, car
rying about 1000 Czech -Slovak
soldiers, passed through Winslow
on their way to New York where
they will embark for their native
land. These soldiers have been
fighting with the allies in Russia
and all had been wounded one or
more times, and they are being
sent home to be discharged. A
number of the SCARED veterans
were wearing service medals,
and several had been decorated
with two or more.
The troops were exercised dur
ing the time the trains were be-
ing watered and iced, and as
they marched sang their native
folk songs and battle hymns,
which brought out an admiring
and enthusiastic crowd of spec
tators on the streets.
A happy and touching incident
was the meeting of the soldiers
by Miss Anna Garcica, one of
the young ladies in the Harvey
House. Miss Garcica was one of
those out to welcome the sold
iers, and in a few moments met
one from her native town with
whom as a child she had attend
ed school. 1t wasa joyous meet
ing, and they cried and laughed
together like children unmlndful
of the hundreds of eyes centered
on them. 1t was soon known to
the soldiers that they had met
one of their kin, and they gath
cred round to sing for her the
old familiar folk songs. 1t was
a great day for the young lady,
and one she will long remember.
Miss Garcica came to this coun-
try with her parents about ten
years ago, but she still holds a
warm affection for her native
land.
