An angler was recently surprised

had caught water bird instead of
a fish. Fishing for birds is the prac-
tice in some countries. In Cyprus

fish for the bee eater. A fine silk
line is used, at the end of which is
a fsh-hook, and to the fsh-hook is
attached wild bee. The bee in its
efforts to escape scars in the air,

swallows both the bait and the hook,
and in its turn becomes the prey of
the fisherman. Another method of
catching birds by means Of line is
adopted by shepherds on the Sussex
Downs. The wheatear is found in
these parts in large numbers. A
hole is cut in the turf and at the
ends of the hole horsehair nooses are
arranged. The birds, when fright

shelter in the holes, when they are

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have
Health CenterS in All Parts
of United States.

The American Red Cross has launch
ed upon q nation wide campaign OF
fighting disease and physical defect
among the American people. A new
and unique health institution has come
into being as the result of several
months study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head
quarters.
Officials in charge OF the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will be in actual operation all
over the country, and that the sign
american Red Cross Health Center"
will become as familiar to the peo-
pie everywhere as are now the signs of
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest Of the American Red
Cross in the fight against disease Is
not, however, of recent origin. Long
before the war the organization began
this health service through its medical
units in disaster relief work and its
department Of Town and County Nurs-
ing. During the war and following
the armistice thousands of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease in the war-stricken countries.
At the same time tens Of thousands Of
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gagged ct home fighting disease, nota-
bly, during the influenza epidemics.
The American Ped Cross has de-
termined that all this valuable expert
ence in health service abroad and at
home shall not go to waste. So long
as there are q half million people
dying yearly in this country from pre-
ventable causes, and so long as more
than one-third of the American chill
dren and young people are victims of
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
nizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is
governed by business principles, ap-
plies business methods, and, in its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted By lay people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is commodity that
can be bought and sold like brOoms
and soap. Therefore, 1t establishes it
self in a storeroom In the principal
business section of the community. 1t
displays it's goods in the form Of at
tractive health exhibits In it's show
windows. 1t advertises constantly and
extensively. And 1t uses every bust
ness and social device to attract Gus
toners.
The Red Cross Health Center Is of
service to the sick in that it gives out
reliable and complete information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana-
toria and other institutions for the sick
and the defective; about available
nurses, both trained and practical
about when to consult physician and
why to shun the quack and his nos
trumS.
Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center is,
however, of even greater service to the
well. 1t teaches people how to, pre-
vent sickness and disease. This is done
in many interesting and attractive
ways-first of all, by the distribution
Of popular health literature and
