President Harding had conference
to-day with Senator smoot (Utah) and
Floor Leader Mondell of the House OF
Representatives on q program for Con-
gress when 1t convenes after the holi-
days. In seeking the conference the
President had in mind the sole purpose
OF trying to speed up legislation with
the hope OF having Congress enact as
quickly az possible many vital meas
ures which have been pending for some
time.
Mr. Mondell had a most optimistic re-
port to submit to the President, assur-
Ing him that from his survey of the
situation the last OF the supply bills
should pass the House by April 1.
Furthermore, he suggested that Con-
gress should make a drive to adjourn
by June 1. as the members are anxious
to get back home to engage In cam
paigns for reelection.
The President. II Is understood, looked
with favor upon the suggestion of ad-
journing In June, providing all import
ant and necessary legislation had been
enacted by that time. In proposing the
date for adjournment, Mr.. Mondell
to have q fixed time in mind else the
legislation may be dragged out indefi-
nitely.
Bonus Bill Discussed.
Speaking Of the conference with the
President, MT. Mondell said that among
other things, he discussed the present
status Of the tariff bill, the refunding
bill and other important measures.
I'VE also touched upon the proposed
bonus BILL" he added. but no conclu-
sions were reached as to the method of
raising the needed funds, although sew
eral plans were discussed, including a
casual mention of the sales tax plan.
We also took UP the question of some
sort OF legislation to aid the American
merchant marine, but that matter Is
still in the formative shape"
Asked II the President indicated when
he expects to address Congress on the
plan to boost American shipping. MI.
Mondell answered In the negative.
AS far as could be learned, the Presi-
dent made no suggestions as to how to
curb recalcitrant members Of the House,
thus assuring more loyal support on ad-
ministrative measures. IT is very doubt
full II the President would bring up the
subject at this time in view of the fact
that 1t is delicate one with the floor

FATAL KINDNESS TO BIRDS.
New Jersey Audubon Society Warns
Foundlings Should Be Left Alone.

Kind hearted people who, finding
young birds helpless, take them tc
their homes or carry them to the rooms
of the New Jersey Audubon society
are warned by that organization that
their Kindness is fatal, and they are
asked to keep hands off. The society
has received deluge of birds as gifts
When finally a song sparrow arrived
which soon would have been able to
take care of itself, but at the office
died of starvation before it could be
liberated among its kind, the warning
was issued. The warning applies equal
ly to kindly intentioned people of 9TH
er states.
AT this time of the year" the Jer-
sey notice says, when thousands of
young birds are just beginning to take
up life's battles, innumerable but trag
ically misguided people find solitary
looking little feather folk in corners of
garden or field or on bypaths, and i'm
mediately assume case of lost or or
phaned children, with an implied obi.
CATION of adoption If the lure of this
imagined obligation is followed, fatal
consequences result in at least nine
cases out of ten.
There are, of course, occasional
emergencies that call Tor human aid in
the bird world. Sometimes one knows
that baby birds have been bereft of
parental care. There are cases of young
birds prematurely leaving the nest
usually due to disturbance by human
or other intrudersl, and with sufficient
care the young may sometimes be re-
placed, or a young bird may be re-
moved from spot of peculiar danger
to a much safer one. Just little dis.
lance off, but the prime counsel of the
Audubon society is, Mix in the affairs
of young birds just as little as posi-
bic Avoid frequent or too close APP
proach to the nest. Enemies of various
kinds often follow the trail you leave.
Also the young may leave the nest pre-
with fatal results When
young birds are subjected to special
danger from eats or dogs, if possible
remove cat or dog from the danger
zone, instead of the birds
