PENSION BOARD
SETS NO FIGURE
Definite Action Not Taken in Ap-
plicatiOn Made by Widows
of Local Police.

No definite action regarding the
disposition of the application of
Mrs. Jay d. Mum, widow of the
late ]. D. Mum, police officer on
the local force who met his death
while in the performance of his
duties on a night in January, 1917.
or of the application of Mrs. Ida
Libman, wife of the late officer
Harry Libman who was shot to
death in Garnsey square last sum-
mer, was taken by the board which
held its meeting yesterday after
noon in the city hall.
Although the board requested
Mayor Harry Schriver and The four
commissioners to turn over all of
the funds now accumulated to the
treasurer of the organization, this
being in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the law on the
subject, this was in nowise the
cause of the boards inability to
reach a decision on the two appli-
cations.
Officers VIII Stay.
Although Former Chief OF Police
Phil Miller has not filed claim for
a pension to the board, it is under
stood that he will do so before
the next meeting of the board and
he will automatically draw half
of his former salary as chief. In
the cases of officers Fitzgerald and
Mccarthy, the latter have an
nounced their intentions of remain
ing on the force for the present
Each are entitled to retire on half
pay on account of 20 years service
on the force.
The new pension fund board will
control all of the funds to be de-
rived from the different taxations
levied for that purpose and they
will hold the power of drawing on
the fund at any time they see fit.

Tightens Her Skin

I want to tell you how easily ] got
rid OF my wrinkles" writes Luella Marsh.
While in London a friend, much envied
because of her youthful looks gave me
a formula for a homemade preparation
which has the effect OF instantly tighten

kIes and burrows.
The principal ingredient Is powdered
saxohte. which can be had at drug stores
here. An ounce OF saxolite is dissolved in
a half pint witch hazel. After bathing
my face in this but once the transforms
ton was so marvellous l looked years
younger. Even the deep crow 8 feet were

my neck. II seems difficult to believe any
thing could produce such results. Several

1T PREFERS THE PINES.

If you are out bird hunting and
are looking for that member of
the warbler known as the pine
warbler, you will be most likely to
find it, as the name implies. in a
pine grove. In fact it is seldom
found outside of such localities,
says the American Forestry asso-
citation, Washington, which is con-
Quoting the nationwide bird-house
building contest among school
children. This bird is rather
quiet in its manner and does not
move about one spot to another
with as much fuss as do many
birds. Like the creeper, it has the
habit of creeping about among the
branches of the trees. 1t is green
ish yellow above and brighter be-
low, with two white wing bars and
white spots on its outer tail feath-

BIRDS BUILD SEVERAL NESTS.

Some birds get very nervous
and become much excited if you
approach their nests and among
them is the black-throated green
warbler. says the American For
estry association, of Washington,
which is conducting the national
bird-house building contest for
school children. Another thing
about this bird is that it frequently
builds several nests. Whether this
is because it changed its mind aft
er building the first one and decid-
ed to select a better location, or
with the deliberate purpose of de-
ceiving any intruders who might
come along is not known. The
bird is very beautifully colored,
the top of it's head and the region
nearly down to the shoulders be-
ing a yellow green, the back olive
green, the throat and breast Jet
black and the under parts white
with some yellow in them at times.

the pests which would eat them.

forestry association, of Washington
which is conducting the nationwide

fer bird-house building. This bird
is also known as the cave swallow
because it plasters its nest on the
outside of a barn or other build
ing up under the caves. Colonies
of several thousand will build their
nests together on the side of a cliff.
These nests shaped like a flattened
gourd or water-bottle are made OF
bits of clay rolled into pellets ana
lined with straw or feathers. This
bird winters in the tropics.
