By the states and the national govern
ment, but an international treaty has
been entered into for the protection of
birds
The treaty protects the birds IN mi
grafton and there is no reason why,
with such protection, birds should not
continue to increa Sc" said Mr.. Woollen.
THINKS BIRDS HAVE
GROWN INTO APPRECIATION.
This veteran protector and friend of
birds is Of the opinion that the people
have been educated TO appreciate the value
OF birds, both from an economic and
esthetic viewpoint.
The robin is the favorite Of the peo-
pie because he is domestic in nature and
makes his home about our homes and
he is the harbinger OF spring" contin-
ued Mr.. Wooden, hut as a matter Of
fact the meadow lark comes earlier than
the robin although not so much in evil
dence"
And with a smile of genuine pleas
ure. Mr.. Woollen said, Ny robin be-
gins singing to me at half after three
in the mornings and sings past ten at
night"
He explains that due to change in
sentiment on the part Of women, birds
are seldom seen on hats now days.
The ladies are really the best friends
the birds have now" ne said.
SUGGESTS ORDINANCE
BE PASSED BY CITY.
In speaking of what the city might
do to protect bird life. Mr.. WooIen sug-
gested that an ordinance be passed FIX
ing a penalty for the stoning Of birds
and for the destruction Of their nests.
BY all means the park commissioners
should see that homes are provided in
the parks for the birds" he stated.
Mr. Woollen became interested in
birds as a study when be was 80 years
Old, but has always been their friend and
to-day IS considered an authority on bird
and bird life.
The cardinal is my fsvorite." said the
aged man with pride He IS one Of
the most beautiful Of birds we have.
He stays with us all the year.
He comes 10 my house and takes de
light IN perching himself on the highest
tip OF a sassafras tree and he sings to
me from January to the end of the year.

GOLDWATER STORE IN NEW ARRANGEMENT |S CREDIT ID SOUTHWEST

Formally. opening it's second floor yesterday, Goldwater's not only pre- sented Phoenix with one of the most complete shops in the southwest but one of the most beautiful as we'll. With the addition of a second floor and meZZanine it was necessary to re- model the first floor, which William Kerr, Los Angeles architect. accom- piished with such telling effect that harmony prevails throughout the shop the exceptionally beautiful Easter stock which is set off to fine advan- tage.
 One of the most notable features is the fine lighting effects. The work rooms face the outside light, while the entire interior is artificially lighted. The shutting out of daylight has given the shop better than daylight sys- tenn.
 A throng of shoppers attended the opening The verdict of the shoppers was that Goldwater's compared most favorahly with the smartest and most exclusive coast shops.
 Friends and business associates of Mr. Goldwater extended their con- grat Ila tions in form of flowers, great baskets of roses, all enhancing the beauty of the shop. While the ex- pra5sions were greatly appreciated hy the president of the concern he was
 
 attractive basket of bloom whici, here the card of lis own employees. 1t was noticeable that every department head 7fio clerk in the shop took the same price in the opsn:ng as did Mir. Gold water
 Excellent Color Scheme
 The color scheme in the new shop is carried out in the soft tones of French gray, delft blue and old ivory. The coloring is especially good as a back Sroand for the stock, which is charm ugly displayed: The lighting system is largely responsible for the delightful manner in which merchandise is shown, the constant glow of electric lights producing splendid effect. There is absolutely no daylight in the store, the work rooms having all the available outside light, but daylight could not rival what has been given by artificial means. When daylight is necessary to match colors it is also produced artificially, every counter being equipped with the daylight light.
 Another innovation made by Mir. Kerr is the new tube service, the cash carrier system having been placed in order on the opening day.
 While these features were noted generally particular attention was given to the second floor, where 2 veritable reception was in progress

CHURCH IF BRETHREN
 JOINS INTER- CHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT I

The latest denomination to enter the Interchurch Movement is the Church of the Brethren, which has 100, 900 members. and is aiming for s2,670, 900 in the United Simultaneous Drive.
 Noon-day business mems prayer services the being held each day dur ing Holy Week.
 Among the many messages sent by wire from the state conferences held all over the United States, the follow ing was sent from Phoenix by a mem Der of the team: The. ministers of Arizona know how to surmount ob- stacles, which explains how it was that floods that have played havoc throughout the state for some days failed to hold them back from the state pastors conference. Seventy five per cent of the ministers of the state are in attendance at the conference, And without exception are in hearty ac- cord with the Interchurch World Movement ''
 The following telegram from Ari- zona was printed in the New York Interchurch World Bulletin:
 One hundred and ten Pennsylvania Lutheran pastors send strong memor ial to their national convention urg- ing that body to officially enter the fnterchurch World Movement. The Methodist Episcopal church is mak- ing plans to spend three times much money in China, India and Africa as it has ever spent before in one year. "
 "Over 100, 900 children attended va cation bible school last summer. The Interchurch World Movement plans to back up that feature of church work during the coming summer"
 Lyman l.. Pierce, director general of the united simultaneous financial campaign, is sending out wires to all the states uring all lea ders to make it very clear that each denomination does not sacrifice it's identity in joining the united financial campaign.
 Of all the 30 denomina tions cooper ating in the united financial campaign. the Northern Baptists are perhaps in the lead at the present moment in their organization. Dr. J. Y. Aitchison is the guiding spirit in that denomi- nation for the drive.
 MT. Raley, field secretary for Ari- Zona, says that the most important immediate thing connected with the }nterchurch work for Arizona is a training conference to be held in Phoe- nix Wednesday, March "A, to which all county denominational and Inter- church financial leaders are to come to receive training for the financial campaign
 J. O. Sexson, state financial cam paisn director, has his office in the west room of the Y. NJ. C. A. building. 1 and is rapidly perfecting his organiza ton throughout the state for the drive. He has associated with him some of the strongest men of the state and is optimistic of the outcome for Arizonas quota.
