Came Laws Workinn Well.

Wild duck and wild geese, since the
federal migratory bird law took full
effect under special treaty with
Canada and Great Britain, have been
steadily increasing. They have grown
more tame, too, and in places where
they have found welcome and where
they have been fed and protected5they
now flock by the thousands. In the
city limits of Oakland, Cal, there is
a small lake where wild geese and
ducks have been fed, and within a
few years that lake, even though it be
within the city, has come to be the
mecca of thousands upon thousands
of ducks which in previous years were
unseen there.

WHERE PEDDLER is SUPREME
In Lithuania People Almost Every
where Are Dependent on the
Travelling "Merchant."

The peddler, who has almost dis
appeared entirely in American farm
ing communities, is still very impor-
tant institution in Lithuania. His out
fit there is veritable department
store. His customers are dependent
upon him for nearly everything they
do not raise or make upon their own
farms. There are not even any mail
order houses to encrCach upon his
wide domain.
Everything the peasant home in
Lithuania is not able to produce must
be brought many miles. Railroads
are few. And SO, through the ped
dlers, with their surprisingly varied
stock in trade, Lithuanian mothers do
their own shopping at their own door
steps. These peddlers come to the
peasants cottage with linen goods,
fancy cloth for dresses, handker-
chiefs, aprons, combs and brushes,
stationery, trinkets, hardware, house
hold utensils, sugar, salt, soap and
even shoe backing.
If cash is to be had, the peddlers
accept it readily, but they are just
as ready to barter soap for some
homemade linen, or sugar for native
needlework. 80 ....

Famous Woman Orator.

Mary A. Livermore was born In
Boston, Mass, Dec. 10, 1921. She was
not more than II or II years old when
she conceived the idea of helping her
parents by some definite occupation.
She learned to sew, and made flannel
shirts at 6A cents apiece. Regarded
by the pastor of her church as a
prodigy, at the. age of II she was sent
by him to the Charlestown Female
Seminary, where she soon ranked with
the best scholars the institution ever
had. At the age Of 20 She was placed
in charge Of the DuXbury high school,
Mass, a position of unusual rank for
d woman at that time. With the our
break of the Civil war in 1861 she be-
came an organizer in woman's war
work. In 1868 she made her first public
address at Dubuque, Iowa. Her Won
derful talents as an orator were imme-
diately recognized, and her fame as q
speaker soon became nationwide.

Aviators' Qualifications.

In England airmen were apt to be
ardent hunters Of the fox and to have
what horsemen call .hands"-a quality
which as aviators enabled them to
know instinctively, as 1t were, what
an airplane was going to do before
1t did it. And, what will be shocking
70 some folk, to keep the aviator In
best condition for his work and for
enduring its terrible stresses, he seem
ed, according to these authorities, to
need "a really riotous evening at
least once or twice a month The
older men were found to use alcohol
freely, but the younger ones required
no such stimulants. and they all avoid
ed excess, being well aware that for
them the penalty was sudden death.
Marriage deteriorated the aviator by
increasing his sense of personal re-
-sponsibility for others. Courage he
had; OF course, and touch of reck-
lessness is not undesirable from the
standpoint of achievement In war

IGL00 HOME SUITS ESKIMO

The movements to moderniZe the
