new and clever and attractive-espe- cially when they are presided over by pretty auburn-haired girls like Clar- ita. Her voice was as sweet as any of her birds notes, and her own bright coloring and fresh gowns quite as dec orative-though in different way. People did buy birds for Christmas, and most of them were as we'll satis- fled with themselves for having en- couraged the enterprise of such a nice girl as they were with their purchases. They even bought birds after Christ mas.
 Then in the spring Clarita had g new idea. What would the many peo- pie who were going away on trips or to hotels do with their birds2 She got her artist friend to letter sign for the window that read, Birds Boarded" It was surprising how many birds wished to find summer quarters. A number of Clarita's for mer feathered pets came back to lodge and the little shop was filled with song and color and soft fiutterings.
 One June day little old lady came into the shop, followed by tall young man who appeared to be her son. He was a very tall man, quite unneces- sarily tall for one so handsome to be- gin with, but he seemed to be rather embarrassed by the large gilded bird cage he was carrying. Possibly men do not like to carry bird cages through the streets.
 The cage contained pair of fine canaries. and they had come to board. The young man set them down, with sigh of relief. and looked at Clar- ita, while his mother made arrange ments for their care, giving the girl all sorts of careful directions.
 "You see," she explained, I'm going away for the summer, and my son is too busy, even If he'd remember to feed them, and I don't believe he would. I hate to leave them. I won- der-I wonder If you'd write me now and then, just to let me know they're all right7"
 Clarita smiled amusedly. She would, of course. What was the address Mrs. JOmes Tucker

A slouchy young man Is not only to he criticized for his outside habit. the way he walks, talks and dresses, but for the inside habit which these things imply, observes the Ohio State Jour- nal. A slouchy man Is slouchy inside as well as outside. His mind Is slouchy. his thinking lags, his ambi- tions droop. Anyone can tell him on the streets. He swaggers along, lolls about and dresses like scarecrow. The fashions are slouchy and he reyels in them. You cannot expect much of such man. His spirit driv- els and lounges along as if to be orderly and proper was sin. Such young men are poor timber for citi- zenship.

 Clarita Evans had always loved farm. She used to spend long hours alone in the woods, watching them and trying to initiate their calls. Later, some one gave her bird book, and she learned to know their scientific names. When she went to college she took a course in ornithology, which she en- joyed more than any other part of her work. So when her father died sud denly, at the end of her sophomore year, leaving her with no relatives and only little money, she resolved to start bird store in the city.
 Clarita had ideas. A number of her friends had started gift shops and tea rooms which were more or less "ar- tistic." Clarita visited all such shops that she could find, noting their clever decorations.
 q don't see why a bird store can't be as attractive as any sort of gift shop" she argued. Mine shall be, so that all the old ladies In town will want to give canaries to their grand children for Christmas"
 It proved to be an attractive shop, as different" as the most modern dec orator could wish. After all there Is nothing more decorative than birds, with their bright colors-or else why should we so often see them drawn and painted? Clarita's real birds, ar- ranged among green plants, hung against gray walls, in quaint Japanese cages, furnished all the edcoration one could wish. The dovegray sparrows with rose-colored bills hung in the win dow, and an artist friend of Clarita's painted gay wooden shingle with these words: 'The Sign of the Pur- pie Parrot"
 The shop succeeded, of course. Peo- pie always come to stores that look

as IO lIlCI IcdSc IopuAo1 Knowledge Concerning American Ideals of Gov. ernment.
 The following communication has been received by the princi- pal of Wrangell Public schools l:
 Office of
 Commissioner of Education
 Juneau, Alaska
 August 3I, 1919. Miss M. Crosno,
 Principal Wrangell Public
 Schools,
 Wrangell, Alaska Dear Madam
 This office has recommended and Governor Riggs has approved the celebration of September I7th as Constitution Day in the schools of Alaska. This action has been talk en in line with the general move ment throughout the nation to ob- serve the day in schools and com- munities generally in such a man. ner as to increase popular know ledge concerning American ideals of government and with the further object of bringing about better popular understanding of the Con- stitution.
 Eight national organizations are standing as sponsors of general movement to make September r, 1919. a day of particular interest to the people of the nation. They are as follows:
 National Security League.
 Sons of the American Revolution, American Defense Society,
 American Rights League,
 Boy Scouts of America,
 National Association for Consti-
 tutional Government,
 National Society Daughters of
 the American Revolution.
 l am, therefore, requesting that September I7th be celebrated as Constitution Day in all the schools of Alaska.
 The plan for the celebration of Constitution Day will naturally vary in the different schools. l would suggest that a general pro- gram he prepared by the school and that the same be given either in the afternoon or evening, the general public being invited. An evening program is perhaps prefer able. In smaller communities this program can be given in the school house. In large communities where there is no auditorium in connec. ton with the school, some down town hall should be secured for the evening.
 The program referred to can be divided into two parts, one being given by the school and the other by some individual in the commun. ity: The school should contribute patriotic songs, recitatlons, etc. A speaker should be secured to outline in a 3o=minute address some of the salient facts regarding the preparation and adoption of the Constitution, it's importance to us as a nation, and its function as an interpreter of American ideals.
 The successful celebration of this birthday of the Constitution is de- pendent upon the school executives and teachers in the various dis tricts, as no agency in Alaska other than the public schools is assum- ing responsibility for the matter. There will, am sure, be no lack of support on the Lart of the school board, and of the residents of Wrangell generally.
 shall much appreciate receiv- ing a copy of the program which your school presents.
 Very sincerely yours,
 LESTER D. HENDERSON,
 Commissioner of Education.
