DESCRIPTION. May 1st falling on
Saturday, great out pouring
would seem assured.
Mr.. Orth, President of the Sc
curity League, explains the
Leagues idea in launching Amer
lean Day" as follows:
"There can be no question that
the heart of the people beats pas
siontely for the itnegrity of
American ideals and for our Con-
stitution and the institutions that
were bequeathed by to US. II is
difficult thing however, to Sc
cure and concrete expression Of
the emotions and opinions Of a
great people. In order to do this.
the National Security League has
inaugurated a nationwide move
ment to give the people an oppoY-
tunity to publicly demonstrate
their Americanism and hteir deter
mination to uphold it against the
assaults of radiealism and inter
nationalism. These Influences in
the past have characterised the
first Of May as a day given over
to manifestations of the throes of
destruetiveness and un-American-
ism. The League proposes that that
day shall instead become emblem
attic of constructiveness and Amer
icanism.
"One Of the reasons why the
product of the melting pot has not
been equal to our hopes and ex.
ectations is that, although we
have demanded that our newly
. fledged citizens be American al

Sheep and goats deserve more con-

A REFUGE FOR BIRDS

Deeds that conveyed to the state of Louisiana a tract of 500 square miles acquired by private subscription for use as perpetual bird refuge settled a question that has vexed that state and also aroused the interest of bird lovers in other parts of the country It is said to be the most extensive effort at game preservation ever made by private enterprise. A local citizen set the ball rolling by setting aside 60,00O acres of marsh land, to which the Russell Sage and Rockefel- Ter Foundations subsequently added about 100000 acres. and other large tracts were presented by their own- CTS. In exchange for title to the pro- perty, the state covenanted to main tain it forever as an asylum for wild life. Most of the land is unfit for agricultural purposes, and in the use to. which it is now to be put it will serve not only Louisiana but other states north and south by furnishing migratory birds safe refuge during the winter season.

SAVING TIM E

Justification for stunt flying, such as cost the lives of many aviators, is found in the announcement by air mail service officials that the per formances of Omer Locklear are soon to be duplicated as a routine feature of commercial aviation.
 Locklear finally lost his life, as sooner or later all do who persist in making daring experiments, but he showed how transfer from one plane to another could be made, and with safety devices that he would have scorned it is now said that the feat will be shorn of all danger. The proposal that express planes flying over cities shall be met by smaller planes which will receive the local mails, and also replenish the fuel supplies of the larger flyers, indi- cates the length to which Americans will go to save a little time.
 It brings perceptibly nearer the nonstop flight from coast to coast, which is one of the few unaccom- plished feats left for aviators to per form.

TWO MILLION HOMES NEEDED

Wharton Clay, who has made a study of housing conditions in the United States and who is recognized as an authority on the subject, says the situation is growing worse
 Testifying in Chicago before the congressional committee on recon struction, he declared there is impera- tive need of legislation to encourage the building of homes. Unless some- thing is done, and done soon, he said, there will be, by 1925, five families for every four homes in the country.
 Some Washington authorities esti- mate the number of homes that it will be necessary to build in the next five years as 100000. Clay offers statis- tics showing that unless 100000 homes are constructed within the five year period, the housing short age will go beyond the present level.
 This testimony shows that America has within it's borders a problem of graver importance than any of the foreign questions in which it's politi. clans and publicists have been taking so much interest It may tickle our altruists to be celebrated for their in. terest in the economic affairs of Flu rope, but their want of concern for home affairs is anything but compli mentary to their gumption.-Tllinois State Journal

The New York World declares that one reason the Democrats were so badly defeated at the recent election was that they were without organiza- tion, and that it is not too early to be- gin now for the campaign of 1924. This is fact that Republicans, too, should keep in mind. It is all very well to talk about dropping craftsmanship provided the other fellow will do the same-but he will not.

My dear Mrs. Ridgely;
You may have gained the impression

On the side oi the cave where the Ogre

When she could see again IN the entrance

white hair and green ewes,
Her teeth were long and wmie and her
mouth big like that of huge fish. and IN

From her shoulders fell long. green

GO OVER THE PICTURES.

As a part OF spring housecieaning, or
rather as an aftermath OF 1T, have you
poneover the pictures on your walls and
seen that thev are in good condition.
The old-fashioned idea was to go about
with wards of net and cover all the gold
framed pictures every spring to keep
them from becoming fly specked. You
have seen houses, haven you, where each
picture suggested u family veiled brideY
Nowadays, we have screens at all WIN"
dows and doors, and therefore flies within
doors are unusual. SO il isn't necessary
for us TO cover our individual pictures
against fly specks.
But still we ought to see each spring
that all pictures are IN good condition
Much permanent harm comes from
pictures that have loosened frames,
through which dust sweeps to destroy tho
surface of the picture. so II some OF your
frames are coming to pieces, see 10 II
that they are mended. Perhaps you
can do the work Yourself. First tear the
paper from the back of the picture frame
Then pull out the little tacks that hold
the board in place and remove that.
Then take out the board and the picture,
the mat and the glass, and clean them all.
Polish the glass, and dust of the picture
and mat with a soft, dry cloth. Rub the
board free of dust. Now, IT you can, nail
or glue the loosened frame so that IT Is
firm. Then. after il has had chance
n set--if it is &d-put the gl0 and
MAI and the picture back III place. Then,
after having tackled the board back ON
cut a sheet OF paper, just to TIT the. back
of the picture. from edge TO edge OF frame,
and Daata IL neatly and firmly IN place.
Then. with screw ewes screwed in a new
place on the frame. the work is finished
If the picture is small, you can use
stickcrs with little rings in them for
hanging the picture. instead Of screw eyes.
In that case be sure that the paper cover
ing the back is glued tight over allltssur-
face, so that the stickers will have tome-
thing 60 cling to.
