BIRD CLUB HAS
700 BOARDERS

There Is a big white Malacca cocka-
too, Coco" with a rose-tinted crest,
who is in the $1,000 class and who
trots around the floor, does a side
tracking dance when in a frisky mood,
and nips at visitors feet and really
does the honors of the place. II a Wis
itor puts an inviting hand down to him
he is likely to take a bite in earnest,
though he rubs his head gently against
Miss Pope when she appears, nips her
ears and fingers, but ever so gently.
He Is a 4conceited creature and poses
for admiration openly. He does gym
nastic stunts on a chair, and to attract
your attention and show you how he
does 1t he calls Hello" now and again
In a voice that is astonishingly human.
He can converse ~f1uently in both
French and Spanish.
While the club has its greatest num-
Der of visitors in summer. 1t is an all
the-year-round affair and takes in not
only boarders, but hospital patients,
birds that have bad manners, and
others for one eason or another. Miss
Virginia Pope was the first woman to
put the bird club and hospital on the
map. She has a wonderful fondness
for the little creatures, birds having
been her favorite pets from the time
she was a little girl, and she has re-
markable control over them and they
seem to have absolute confidence in
her. When she has taken in a sick
bird that needs constant care and
warmth she has been known to take
1t to bed with her and with it lying up
close to her throat she has cared for 1t
all night, ready to attend to its slight
est need.
Birds Are Temperamental.
"Give the birds something to amuse
Them" says Miss Pope, especially the
parrots; clothes pins, a buckle with a
strap, a key on a ring, or a little bell,
and one parrot has been known to
go to sleep with a little china doll in
its claw, like a child. Toys keep them
from pulling out their plumage.
Birds are very temperamental. I
had one canary that / could not per-
suade to take a bath. 1t fluttered its
wings and appeared very angry and
unhappy every time the bath was
brought until n day by chance 1
brought the water In a very gay-col-
ored little dish. 1 was surprised to
see it hop down to it quickly and there
was never again trouble with that lit
tie birds baths. The little tramp, as
I had called it, became a clean little
gentleman"
Birds go to the club sometimes to
learn good table manners. Some of
them are very naughty about scatter
ing seed out of the dishes onto the
floor. 1t is a bad habit which can be

felt as though this world of blue water
and the bright dome of the sky above

the g~listening sapphire of the water.
Then lying under the trees on the
rough shore, she would forget herself
in hair breadth escapes or fall to
dreaming of charming castles across
the sea.
1t was on n Of these excursions
that she had brought the unopened
letter that had come that morning
from Dot. Now opening it and scan

For the next few weeks Sylvia
found no time for dreaming, for the

at night she would slip into her bed
too tired to do anything but fall
dreamlessly asleep.
And then the second letter came.
Elsie was going to be married In the
autumn. Somehow Sylvia felt a cold
pang Of loneliness tear at her heart.

Sylvia's Island

&c. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
"Good-by. Sylvia; be good!" they
called TO her as the train glided
smoothly out of the station.
Sylvia, leaning far out of the win.
dow. blew a last kiss. waved q last
merry wave before she settled back
into her seat in the train.
1t was vacation time. The girls had
all come down to the Grand Central to
see her off. Sylvia thought with a
warm glow at her heart of their mes
sages. their happy last words.
She could picture them all so clear
ly; Dot was going up to a cottage by
the lake to spend her summer; Anna
was going for a whole month to stay
with her rich relatives on Long Island,
and Elsie was going to lounge at home.
They three comprised the primary
department of the Elmhurst School
for Girls, and now that the middle of
June had come-the long looked-for
~vacation-they were .off ito freedom
and life" as Elsie put it.
II guess my fairy %godmother was
mapping when I was born" Sylvia
thought to herself, for now that vaca-
ton had come and she found herself
without enough money saved to last
through the summer, she must go on
teaching.
"StiH the Worths may not be so
bad" she thought, but a little wistfuI
smile curved her lips and she looked
down at her gloved hands In her lap,
wondering why fate had reserved for
her the task of tutoring all summer.
"Still I'm rather lucky in a way"
Sylvia philosophical. I'm getting my
vacation and, though my tutoring will
just pay my expenses, at least l am
earning my living" (
She settled back and closed her eyes
YEARLY, for now that the hurry and
rush of the last few days of school
were over she found herself very tired.
She found after a week at the camp
on Mink Island that the Worths were
very nice people, indeed. She had to
tutor all the morning aud she gave
part of every afternoon to amusing the
twins and somehow she had grown in
the habit of telling a last story before
bed time to Betty and Ben.
But there was time in between when
Sylvia stole down to the boat landing
and pushed out the canoe while she

SEQ WOMEN SOUGHT To
TAKE CAMPAIGN STUMP
Southern States League Desires to
Fully Inform Voters of Gentlcr
Sex on Candidates.

Five hundred women are wanted
by the Southern States League OF
Women Voters, a non-partisan organ
lzation. to give their time to plat
form speaking during the coming
campaign.
In making this announcement. the
league outlines it's objects as being
not to Influence the party choice OF
Its members, but TO see that party
policies and the merits OF candidates
are truthfully discussed, to the end
that women shall make an intelligent
choice and not fall in line with hus-
bands, fathers or brothers merely as
a frsternizing act.
Special attention is being given BY
the league to the membership drive
for the District Of Columbia Division
being conducted this month. The
drive will close on June with a
floral parade up Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
The District OF Columbia Division
OF the league will send delegates 10

CHURCHES TO RAISE
PAY OF TEACHERS
World Movement Program Calls
For Collection of $780,
100000 Fund.

Four hundred million dollars for
American education and for increas-
ing teachers pay are to be raised
within the next Ave years, according
to the program OF the thirty denomi-
nations cooperating in the Inter
church World Movement, II was an
nounced last night by DR.. Robert l..
Kelly. educational director of the
movement.
Speaking at a conference called
here by the Bureau of Education of
the Department OF the Interior, he
said about $50. oo0. 900 to be raised in
the campaign now being ex-
tended Is Appropriated for American
education, the bulk of 1t to go into
endowments and to be used for the
increase of teachers pay.
DR.. Kelly's remarks stressed not
only the need OF stemming the exodus
from the teachers profession. but the
traditional influence which graduates
OF American educational institutions
founded by churches have had in
advancing the greatness OF the United
States. Citing that the majority OF
educational institutions today are af-
filiated with the churches he declared
the churches have been the teachers
friend from the beginning OF Ameri-
can history and will continue to be-
III America is to take the position
OF leadership which is offered to her
by world events, she must have lead
ers with the highest possible type of
training" said DR.. Kelly. This train
ing cannot be attained in institutions
interested only in material side of
progress. We must produce. in the
future as in the past. men and women
qualified to be leaders in the spiritual
realm as well as leaders in trade
and in public affairs"
DR.. Kelly cited history to prove that
the church-founded colleges OF the
American colonies produced the lead
ership which formed the republic,
while contrasting this with the bane-

ercised by the materialistic German

'H|GHFLY|NG TO
Be MADE SAFE
Bureau Of Standards to Re-
move Altitude Dangers
For AWat0rS.

Removal of the dangers In the
operation OF sirplanes at attitudes OF
10000 and 10000 feet through
changed temperatures and reduced air
pressure Is beins brought about In q
series OF tests made here by the Blu
resu OF Standards, II was announced
today. Changes in the operating eff
ficiency OF the airplane engines at
the greatest heights can be deter
mined by the aviators while they are
standing on the ground, II was stated.
The bureau has established a spe-
ciAl laboratory at which differences
in the performance OF engines at every
altitude are determined. The tests
sover the effects OF temperature on
engine operation at different heights,
together with the altitude effect on
operating speeds with different kinds
and grades OF fuel, the changes IN
the gasoline and air mixtures at DIFF
ferent attitudes with the proportions
required for maximum operating ef-
ficiency. the proper setting OF the en-
CINE spark. the temperature or oil
and jacket water at different heights
and the mechanical losses In back
pressures on the exhaust and In
throttle operation as the planes climb
higher.
IL mas been found. II was stated, that
at an altitude OF 10000 feet the air
pressure is reduced by one-hslf, and
at 80, 900 feet, 1t is less than one-third
OF that at sea-leveL. On the other
hand, 1T has been ascertained that the
fuel efficiency increases after a height
OF 10000 feet is reached. and tends TO
overcome the loss in power of the
engine through lessened air pressure
as the plane reaches greater attitudes.
. The results of the tests will be
placed in the hands of aviators Of
both the military and naval service. it
was stated. They will make possible
more accurate adjustments of en-
gines before altitude flights are at
tempted, and also enable the aviators
to keep their engines under more per-
tect control at greatest heights.
