BIRDS KILL OFF MOSQUITOES
Swallows Helpful in Exterminatinu
Insect Pests Says American
Forestry Association.

WashingtOn.-n you want to free
the neigborhood of mosquitoes, encour-
age swallows to make themselves at
home, says the American Forestry as
sociation Of Washington, which is con-
Quoting the national birdhouse build
ing contest among school children.
These birds feed almost entirely up
OH obnoxious insects and they will do
much toward protecting orchards and
other trees from insect pests. No bet
ter investment can be made, therefore,
than some houses set out for martins
or other swallows.
OF the blue swallows the purple mar
tin is the largest, the male being en-
tirely blue above and below while the
female is blue above with gray
breast. Swallows are highly migfa-
tory, most Of them spending the win
ter in South America.

Warsaw, POland.-The abnormal
number Of children born blind in this
country during the last three years is
due mainly to the malnutrition of
mothers. according to report issued

children at birth was thought at first
to herald the advent Of some new

American experts proved that the fam
