Upho1ds Migratory
Bird Law

Sportsmen who merit the title in
the United States have been much in
terested in the protection of the mi
gratory birds by the federal govern
ment. 1t has long been realized that
the conflicting laws employed by the
various States have worked havoc with
our most valuable game and migratory
birds, so the migratory-b treaty and
the Lacey acts have had the support
Of every nature lover in this country
and in Canada.
On April 10, 1920 the Supreme
Court of the United States rendered
decision upholding the constitution
atty of the treaty act. In a suit
brought by the State of Missouri
against federal game warden the
Supreme Court held that the federal
game laws were enforceable in State
whose game laws confiicted with the
migratory-bird treaty act.
The court defined the situation in
the following paragraph taken from
the opinion
Here national interest of very
nearly the first magnitude is involved.

action in concert with that Of another

Making The Porch Artistic
A Little Bit Of Cretonne and Little Bit of Paint
Will Work Wonders

Is your porch one Of those com
Portable, out-of-door rooms that you
simply hate to tear yourself away
from, or is it a stiff, uninviting place
for the letter box, the door mat, and
a row of straight-backed green chairs
with a strip of crash tied over the
back? If it is the latter, there are
altogether too many such places, and
it behooves you to get to work at
once to make things different. Almost
everyone can afford hammock these
days, for they can get them for almost
any price. You needn't pay a lot for
the fancy covers but get one with plain
khaki-colored cotton and make covers
for it in some pretty cretonne. There
is lovely cretonne that just seems to
be made for porch covers, particu-
larly for those houses where there are
no gardens for it blossoms forth in

yellow hollyhocks, and old blue and
leaves for all the world like an old
time garden. A cover Of this for a
hammock, with cushion or two to
match, and one in plain old blue and
another in plain yellow, would make
anyone forget that he hadn't a gar
den.
II there are not two or three old
chairs and table in the house that
can be renovated and painted soft,

is not sufficient to rely upon the
States. The reliance is vain, and were
it otherwise the question is that the

realize how children delight in their
companionship. Every mother should
employ care and insight as well as
love for her child when she selects
his occupations. Give an eager de-
sire to enter the child's world, he will
welcome her with countless sugges-
tions. It is often the mothers privi-
lege to modify these ideas, to make
a quiet occupation more attractive
than a noisy one, to offer materials
that are large and easily handled
when little fingers show signs of rest
lessness, or to direct active games
when repression becomes unkind.

also have suggestions from the mother
as he needs them and by her appreci-

direction and adult suggestion should
be wisely balanced in order that the
child may make the greatest progress.
Games Which Train
For more active play, there are
games which can be carried on with
only a little help while the mother Is
busy. The simple hiding or guessing
games can be played by very young
children. One game which trains in
observation consists in placing differ
emit common household objects, such
as a pencil, a thimbIe, a spool, scis-
sors, etc., on tray, covering them.
