John Cassiday Is Having His Manual
Training Pupils Build Bird Houses

81 think that we ought to give John
Cassiday some encouragement in his
efforts to get the boys OF his classes
interested In birds" said w. II. Rezin
TO a Diamond Drill reporter last We'd
nesday. "He is having his pupils
build lot Of bird houses. Supposing
that We drop I'm after dinner, look
them over and tell the people about
this very desirable work"
So, shortly after dinner we stopped
at the manual training room in the
Forest Park building and IL did our
heart good 10 see lot OF boys at work
on the machines, turning, saving,
planning and doing other manual train
ing work. Several excellently con-
structed articles OF furniture stood a
bout the room in various stages OF
completion and upon each piece boy
was industriously at work.
Another thing that pleased us was
meeting with two Crystal Falls boys
holding positions as instructors. John
has charge OF the work as manual
training teacher with Elmer Soder-
berg assistant Both are Crystal
Falls products. both are showing
splendid talents in their chosen line
OF work.
But. IL was 10 see the bird houses
that we went there SO John piolot-
ed us into the room where the com
pleted work Is kept and there we be-
held a collection or bird houses num-
bering about 100, many OF them uni
que 10 degree. Almost all OF these
bird homes had been built by young
sters in the lower grades. A great
deal OF the work had been done at
home and one could see in each piece
some element that spoke OF the boys
environment. For example, some
tastily constructed. log" houses, the
ends neatly notched, the mineature
logs trimmed TO place and chinked as
exactly as are the well known cedar
houses OF the Finnish people We
were told that these boys lived on a
certain location where some excellent
examples OF that kind OF work can be
seen. Other constructions by boys
living on some OF the outlaying farms
were almost exact replicas OF barn
or shed on the farm.
We learned from Mr.. Cassiday that
over 100 bird houses will he put up
by the boys OF Crystal Falls this
spring. many of them being located
in the school park. The cement work.
ing class will. as soon as weather con-
ditions allow, start upon a couple OF
cement bird baths in the Forest Park
school yard
With 100 bird houses set up for oc-
cupancy this spring there will be con-
siderable attention to bird life by our
boys and that's a spirit that we want
TO cultivate. A boy that loves and
cares for birds seldom goes wrong.
May Mr. Cassiday have much success
in his efforts to get the boys under
him interested In our birds.

Retired Judges Obliged to

In Separating Couples

LONDON May 24.-Diyorces are in

"shyster methods as they are sometimes
termed in America, whereby some di-
v0rceS are obtained Judge Darling is
one Of the veterans of the bench who has
recently had to tackle divorce cases, in
addition to his regular judicial work. in
order TO cope with the growing demand
for the untying of nuptial knots.
We know perfectly well that an enor-
nous proportions Of the undefended
eases in the divorce court are merely coll
lusive said Judge Darling. Men know
az wei as | do that those letters. my
dear Billy. do return TO your loving
Kitty are composed in solicitors offices.
Everybody knows it, only it Is presumed
that the Judge in the divorce court does
not. OF course he does.
Judges who had retired are dragged
back instead Of being able to enjoy their
old age in comfort because there are not
enough Judges to deal with these cases.
And what wonder when people can come
into the divorce court and treat il in this
fashion,
lie added that what people looked for
most in the newspapers was the like
moss Of every adultercr who could be
snapshotted coming out Of the courts.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Two deli
cate situations in international affairs
involving future relations between the
United States and Mexico on the one
hand. and the United States and Japan
on the other, have progressed to the vi
tai point where the department Of state
hopes irritating comments from the press
of the three countries will be avoided so
that satisfactory settlement can be
reached.
Optimism as to the clearing of the two
disputes Is plainly reflected here but the
job ahead of Secretary Hughes in nego-
tiating with the Obregon government on
the question of recognition is one on.
which the Wilson administration was
able TO make little Roadway. This was
not because of the way the thing was
handled for the Harding regime has
asked for practically the same thing from
Mexico. but because the Mexican author

from the. Republicans than from the
Democrats.
Mexico is playing a careful game-no
pressure has been exerted to obtain rec
IGNITION from the United States no out
ward effort has been made that could be
denounced by the anti-American elements
in Mexico as an attempt to curry favor
with the United States. On the other
hand. President Oregon needs the rec
ognition of the United States because it
means recognition by the other govern
ments of the world. 1t means economic
stimulus and a funding of MeXico's ex-
ternal and internal debt through foreign
loans.
Might Start Revolution.
To put the question on a material ba-
sis however. would only give President
Obregon's enemies chance to start a
revolution against him. The United
States on the other hand cannot afford
TO accept oral assurances. Previous
governments in Mexico have given and
then ignored written assurances. So
whether the assurances are embodied in
protocol or any other form of agree
ment it is confidently expected that a
definite promise will be given by the
Mexican government to treat Americans
