Birds That Hiking
Scouts Will See

One of the most remarkable Jekyl
and-Hyde types of birds are the red
winged blackbirds. They are to the
farmer, at one time, his best friend; ;
at another time his worst enemy. In
the spring and summer they destroy
cut worms and other insect pests
which are so great a menace to grain,
while in the late summer and fall of
the year they destroy the very crops
which they have been SO instrumental
in protecting.
Boy scouts can recognize the red
winged blackbird by the yellow Of its
throat, chin and edge of wing; the
brownish yellow on its back and the
whitish color streaked with brown be.
low. The male is 9 IL inches long
and Is IA inches from tip to tip of
wing.
A dozen often build their nests in
close proximity to each other and re-
tain the warmest sort of a visiting
friendship.
While usually a shy bird the red
wings sometimes make friends with
the house dweller if food is laid out
for them.

IL you are planning a salad of left

two at breakfast time and add to the
salad, thus increasing it's nutritive

And, by the way, it is a good idea
to boil couple of eggs against a

plans seem a bit sketchy. You can
utilize them in making many hot

Salvation LaSSieS
In Nippon

East may be east and west may be
west, but the twain meet under the
colors of the Salvation Army. The
wo1ld-scope of this organization draws
no lines of border nor breed nor
birth"
Here one sees evidence of the
army's labors in the"Cherry Blossom
land of Japan. The color of the skin
or the slant of the eyes Of these Saliva
ton Army officers makes no difference
in their purpose and endeavor. Help,
encouragement and charity have equal
meanings under any flag. The traveller
in Nippon gets a thrill of honey feel
ings at the sight of these men and
women of an organization so well
known at home The men wear tn,
same uniforms as their western bro
Tiers, but the women have adapted
the army's garb to the kimono robes
of their native land.
After all, the uniform counts no
more than color or race. The same
purpose is there-salvation. An army
lassie in kimono or in uniform and
bonnet stands for the same principles
of humanity, be she beneath the
Stars and Stripes or the Sun Banner
of Japan.

Tapan's New Woman

| OF all the changes that are coming
to women there is nowhere that they
are developing along different lines t..
such an extent as in Japan. An Eng
lish woman in Toxic LADY F. L. A
Al, writing to the London Daily
Telegram, says:
Happily, the most outstanding fea-
ture of the modern Japanese women
is what it was 20 years ago their
great and undeniabie personal charm
and picturesque demeanor. They still
adhere to the time-honored practice
of wearing the voluminous silk kimono
of the choicest description, in which
the only vagaries of fashion appear
in the placing of the pattern together
with the quaint white 'tabi and straw
'geta' or sandal. The good-tempered
smile which invariably greets one on
the faces of rich and poor alike Is
truly remarkable.
But the finger of progress is to
be seen most clearly in the attitude
of the twentieth century Japanese
woman toward her home and its at
tendant duties. One of the most en-.
lightened Japanese women with whom
have the honor and privilege of be-
ing acquainted uncompromisingly put
to me the other day; 1.-THE time has
now come for changing all that
meaning the acceptance of man" as
the visible embodiment of Gods or
Buddha's will, and the domestic hearth
is the one sphere of woman's influence.
But, as in western countries, it is
largely the economic problem that is
responsible for this change of view
point and it has brought with it very
far-reaching developments. 1t no
longer fulfills the dream of the Japan
csc maiden to have her husband Sc
lected by a parent, after due consul
tation with every relative in both
families except the maid herself. She
is rapidly forming attachments in her
own particular walk in life, and where
she meets with opposition she choose.
rather to remain a. celibate until such
time as she can obtain parental ap-
proval. In this respect she is much
more patient and filial than her sister
of the west, especially il she happens
to be following a congenial and digni-
fed vocation. Once married, how
ever, this new type is making de-
lightful comrade-wife, in many cases
sharing every pursuit and interest
with her husband, and a much wiser
and more sympathetic mother than
was to be found in Japan even gene
ration ago.

New Rices

Very favorable reports have been

ties developed at the Crowley Rice
Station in Louisiana, in cooperation
with the Louisiana Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station These two rices are
among the best selected from a study
of more than 1000 different kinds at
the Crowley station. Their import
ance is demonstrated in part by the
large yields obtained. Last year un
der field conditions an average yield
of 5,155 pounds of rough rice was Oh
tanned from the Acadia on 48 acres
and an average of PITS pounds Of
rough rice from the Fortuna on 3J
acres of very old land. Both Of these
records are excellent and give an ind
cation of a large production which
may be expected this year on much
larger acreage, if weather conditions
continue favorable. Eventually it is
the purpose of the department to make
these new varieties of seed available
to all growers, through the markets,
thereby benefiting them and the in.

The Change
Sweeps World

Strange indeed it is to reflect on the
vicissitudes of the thrones and the
fates of royalty, since that peaceful
June of 1914, when we went or ac-
Icustomed ways all unconscious of the
tragedies and revolutions socn to
come Six years ago monarchy was
still the most widely spread system
of government in Europe and Asia,
as it was the oldest and bes; under
stood, says an English newspaper.
There was one great civilized rcpub
lie ard some smaller ones, Blu: the old
world continued to acquiesce to all
appearances quite patiently and con-
tentedly, ill the institution Of king
ship, except in China, where the most
ancient of thrones had fallen in cha
otto confusion.
What prophet or fantastical novelist
would have been daring enough to
predict that within less than half
dozen years monarchy would have
disappeared from much the gerater
part of continental Europe and left
to survive only along it's outerseaward
rim and in Great Britain? Proud and
mighty, and as fixed and immovabla
as the eternal rocks they seemed,
those czardoms and empires and king
doms of principalities, whose high
sounding titles echoed the popmps of
medieval Rome.
The wind blew, and one after an
other they have ollapsed-Romanoff,
Hohenzollern, Hapsburg, Wittelsbach,
Saxe-Coburg, Bourbon, Brunswick
all the idols with fronts of brass and
feet of clay The last shadowy vestige
of the holy Roman empire vanished as
the last Caesar escaped across the Dor
der. The staggering military NOR
archy which had shaken Europe for a
century and a half with the clang of
it's booted heel and the Gathering OF
IT'S saber, went down in irreparable
disgrace as the Prussian king and
German emperor fed like a thief i'll
the night from his soldiers and h S
people, and lived to cover in ignomin.
ious safety behind the shelter of a
neutral frontier. And the world still
shudders over the tragic end of the
royal house of Muscovy.
So they went down, the anointed
rulers who had failed from weakness,
or autocratic arrogance, or ruthless
aggressive ambition. But the mon
archial principle survives, for happily
all the soverigns and princes were
not like William of Hohenzollern, or
Ferdinand o. Bulgaria, or the amiable,
Intellectual Nicholas. There were
kings who showed themselves worthy
of their line, who led their people Oh
the battlefield and behaved like wise
statesmen and valiant soldiers. King
Albert of Belgium and King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy stand deservedly
higher in the hearts of their subjects
than before the storm broke.

Japanese Custom

In Japan there is a peculiar custom
regarding the dressing of the hair.
Girls who want to marry, arrange the
hair in front in the form of fan or
butterfly, and adorn it with silver or
colored ornaments.
The hair fastened at the back of the
head by means of tortoiseshell pins,
indicates a widow who desires to
marry again. A woman with hair
cut short and wearing no ornaments.
is widow who wishes to remain faith
full to her dead husband.

IF BADGER ISN'T BADGER
 THEN WHAT Is A BADGER?

LONDON, July 2S- R. l. Pocock, curator of mammals to the London Geological Society, has discovered what he says is great hoax upon the Americans who for more than 400 years have believed they had badgers on their continent" An American bad ger, brought here to make an m structive comparison" was put in a cage with some British badgers. The British badgers slept all day, the American badger all night. Dr. Po- cock investigated and decided the Am erican animal was neither badger, skunk, stoat, nor weasel. He said its skull, and teeth were "wrong" for a badger, it lacked the scent gland and it's resemblance to the badger was so superficial he considered it of a totally different tribe"
