The chipping sparrow is a migrant
that comes to us the last of March
and returns south the last of October
and the first of November. 1t winters
in the Gulf States and Mexico and
in the summer comes as far north as
the Great Slave Lake. The "chippy,"
for that is his name, is an inch short
er than the English sparrow. He has
a chestnut colored crown, forehead
black. with a white stripe through
the center; upper parts grayish !;
wings and tail brownish; underparts
pale gray, almost white. Male and
female are alike in appearance. Chip
ping sparrows raise two broods a sea-
son, from four to five young in each
brood.
The food of the chipping sparrow
consists of insects and small seeds );
the former of smooth caterpillars, like
cutworms are favOrites, but beetles,
grassnoppers, moths, ants and bugs
are also eaten. An examination of
230 of their stomachs shows that in
sects and spiders form 38 per cent.
of the food of adults, the remainder
being seeds. The seeds of grasses
alone constitute As per cent, more
than half of it being crab grass and
pigeon grass. The young are fed with
smooth caterpillars of various kinds
as well as grasshoppers, crane flies
spiders and similar creatures, and
when it is recalled that the parents
come to the nest with food 200 lines
in one day from daylight to dark, it
can be readily understood how much
good these birds do.

BRITISH WAR DEBT.

1t is impossible for the average per-
son to comprehend million dollars
But few are able to understand wha
the great war debt of Great Britain
100000, 00O,000) really amounts to. M.
Wulpi of the Central Bureau, offers a
few facts to give a fresh light on how
much it really is. 1t amounts. says
NJ Wulpi, to nine times all the gold
in the world; or $4,000 for every let.
ter in the bible. or $25 apiece for every
member of the human race, or as
much as seventy clerks can count n
seventy years or eighty thousand tons
of gold, or three times the value Of
Italy. That is the British war debt.
German purchases Of skunk skins in
this country have been the means OF
boosting the prices.

LABOR rs UNDER
RUSSIAN HEEL
Report Says Iron Military
Discipline Rules.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. = Russian
soviet authorities have put human labor
under an iron military discipline and
declared 1t to be the property of the
state, according to study by the in
ternational labor office of the league OF
nations.
A digest of the study, material for
which was gathered by commission
appointed for that purpose, was made
public here Saturday
According to the report the original
labor program of the bolsheviks when
they nationalized industries was liberal,
providing for the eight-hour day, a liv-
ing wage, strict regulations regarding
women and children workers and other
reforms.
Naturalization, the report said, was
followed by a decrease in production
causing living to rise faster than wages.
Workers began leaving the cities for
the country, where food was more
plenty.
This movement was followed by ex-
ceptions to the rule against overtime.
the organization of labor armies and the
declaration that labor is a commodity,

sheviki authorities:

you to render verdict for the de-
fendants"
During all Of this praise and oratory,
the twelve women in the jury box sat
unmoved, but the minute the attorneys
began taking the evidence, every one
appeared very interested.
And Justice Maholm did himself proud
in instructing the jurywomen.
Ladies' of the jury" said the JUS
tice, very politely, after you retire you
shall select one of your number as
foreman i mean forewoman, who shall
sign the verdict
This is a case in replevin in which
Lane Robertson complains that the
Sachs brothers unlawfully possess q
graphanola.
THE only question to be determined is
whether the defendants unlawfully pos
sess the machine.
II kindly admonish you to be as quiet
as possible in your deliberations so as
those on the outside viii not hear you"
the justice added, turning very red in
the face.
William Goodspeed was sworn in as
the first bailiff to a womans jury in the
state
Justice Malhom ordered the courtroom
vacated that it might be used by the
women of the jury for their delibera-
tions.
The door closed on the jury at 1880
o'clock.
Five minutes later the bailiff was in
formed that verdict had been reached.
The verdict was for Attorney ,Kerrer's
Client
Attorney Karrer, the winner of the
drst suit ever tried before jury o.
Indiana women. shook hands personally
with each member of the jury.
To one member OF the jury. he said:
And my wife has spoken Of you so
often"
Never in my experience as a reporter
has jury rendered such quick verdict
They demonstrated once and for all
that the women need no teacher In full
filling all the duties of citizenship.
The women digni1ed this justice Of

neys so we'll hammered.

Ladies of the jury"
1 heard those words uttered Saturday
for the first time in a courtroom in In
diana in my fifteen years in reporting
trials.
Ladies of the jury"
That expression repeated so often and
so politely in the little courtroom of
Justice of Peace I. Ernest Maholm
marked a new day in court proceedings
in Indiana.
1t was a day of justice in Maholm's
court and it also was ladies' day.
The presence of twelve women in the
jury box during trial brought by Lane
Robertson to obtain possession of talk
ing machine alleged to be unlawfully in
the possession of Sachs Brothers.
On entering the little courtroom, was
astonished at the great change in its
appearance.
Justice Maholm wore a suit which had
been carefully pressed and in the but
ton hole of his coat was a white carna-
ton.
Three huge bouquets of flowers dec
grated the bench, a big American flag
floated over the jury box.
Attorney Elias Dulberger, counsel for
the defendants, wore his best smile and
his manner was as polished as II he were
in a drawing room.
Attorney Clyde Karrer, who repre-
sented the plaintiff. was most gracious In
his manner toward the ladies of the jury.
Both the attorneys displayed white car
nations in the lapels of their coats.
There was no smoking in the corridors
where many men stood on their tiptoeS
to get a peep at the jury.
And how swiftly the trial moved with
q jury of women.
Early in the trial it was shown that
the women were prepared 70 do their
own thinking regardless oof the lawyers
Mrs Felix T. McWhirter, in answering
questions put TO her by Attorney Dull
berger to test her qualifications to sit
as a juror, remarked that one OF the
attorneys questions was very broad
and stated that she had opinions re-
garding the way certain lines Of bust
