PLANT TREES WHICH
 ATTRACT THE BIRDS
Prof. Arnold of Forestry
 College Gives List Favor ed for Food and Nesting.

Home owners, in planting trees, shrubs and vines should take into consideration the idea of growing plants that will attract birds. accord ing to Professor Alan F. Arnold of the New York State College of For estry, who finds that there is a poss1- bi1ity of many of our native birds disappearing altogether for lack of food and shelter.
 The list of trees, shrubs and vines attractive to birds includes many of is no more valuable evergreen tree for ornamental purposes than the na- tive red cedar; it also provides the best shelter and nesting sites for
 birds, while they find food in the Der ries and insests commonly found on the tree. The native towering dog wood and the Chinese Towering crab apple are two particularly beautiful trees that are favordtes with the birds. The gray-stemmed dogwood. honeysuckle, American elder and sheepberry are also serviceable to the birds and ornamental The Virginia creeper, one of the most popular vines, furnishes nesting sites for birds and draws the attention of the birds away from grapes, apples and peaches
 '1f one has place where plants of a wilder sort can be introduced, said Professor Arnold, 'and wishes to make a special point of attracting birds, there is a great variety of na- tive plants that could not perhaps be used for more finished effects. but here would be just the thing. There are mulberry, tupelo and white spruce, such shrubs as the spice bush, choke cherry and swamp rose and bittersweet and frost grape vines. The towering dogwood, mulberry. wild black cherry, bayberry, Amer ican elder and high-bush blueberry can be counted on in general to at tract the bluebird, cardinal flicker, 1 kingbdrd, Baltimore oriole, robin and cedar waXwing.
 ''The home owner interested in ob- l serving birds himself or affording an opportunity for his children; the far mer who desires to protect 11iS fruit l crops and the person who wishes to | assist in the conservation of our city | and our forest trees, as well as our native birds, can perform a great public service by planning his plant ing with the birds in mind.'

BEAVERS BREAK JAIL

New York, Sept 27.-You can't keep a good man down or a good beaver in.
 This was the conclusion reached by attendants at the Bronx Zoo after six of the f1at-tai1ed animals dug their way out of the reservation into the Bronx river under a concrete wall built to prevent their adventuring.
 Engineers, however, have not given up hope of restraining the runaways, which were recovered upSteam and brought back to the Zoo in washboil- CTS and any other conveyance at hand. They are building an even deeper wall.

THE GROWTH OF ADvERf1s1Na

People who follow business de-
velopments must have noticed how
the size of newspapers has increased
in recent years. Many sheets that
used to run IL to l6 pages. have
been using Is or "a for the past two
years. Many Others that used to
run about s to 10 pages will now
commonly print l2 to i6, This in
crease is due largely to the tremen-
ious increase in the amount Of adj
vertising.
There are no figures available as
TO the most important form of ad.
vertiSing. that inserted by retail
merchants in their local papers
Every newspaper publisher could
give his own figures. and they
would in most eases show large
increase
There are approximately correct
figures covering the field of nation
al advertising. by which is meant
advertising used by large compan
les that sell their goods all over the
country. and which use the news
papers in other section than the
one where their business Is located

OPPOSITION TO THE DRY Law

The people who got up the par.
ade July Fourth in New York in
opposition to prohibition. evident.
ly that they would head mighty
army that would astonish the eoun-
try by the power of its protest
against the horrors OF prohibition.
Their surprise must have been con.
siderable, when the Audit Company
of New York. which had been en-
gagged to eount the people, certifi-
ei that the number in line consist
cd only on l4.a22 people
1t may possibly dawn upon these
folks that the great majority OF the
American people wanted prohibi-
tion. The politicians in Congress
understand this fact perfectly as
-een by the overwhelming majori
lies they give against any proposal
that tends TO break down the dry
law.
While the hot day deferred many
from marching in the parade. If the
popular protest had been any
where as strong as was expected.
many more than l4.92 people
would have heen able to take this
moderate exercise. This fiasco may
suggest that while the sporting ele-
ment may feel deeply wronged by
the law. yet the mass of hard work
ing folks can see that prohibition
saves a great deal of loss and suf
fering.

fAyr AS cH1rY JUSTICE

Tho ups and downs In the career
Of William n. Taft. who now roaliz-
es the ambition OF his life in be-
coming chief Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court. have been of
a dramatic character. A man who
WAS beaten for the presidency so
badly that he got the electrical vote
of only two OF the smallest states.
might be considered TO be the head
of the Down and Out club.
Yet. somehow he has managed TO
win an office that is as important
as the presidency itself. And he
got ii with very little opposition.
The good nature with which Mr..
Taft took his smashing defeat was
one element in his success Many
statesmen nurse their hurts in pub
lie When they get turned down
they make sulky and bitter com.
ments. that indicate that in their
opinion the people who threw
them out are fools.
The good natured way in which
Mr. Taft took his overturn shows
that he respects the verdict Of the
people and went far to coneiliatc
many who opposed his reelection
in 1912
Probably what has won more
support for Mr., Taft than anything
else. has been the feeling that he
is fair minded. TIL epeople are sick
of the bitterness Of people who
take extreme views. and are strong.
ly committed to one side or another
of economic questions. They want
aman of judicial Temperament. who
ean look all around existing con.
troyersies and see the merits of
each line of argument.
In the disputes between labor
and capital. which are the most diff.
ficult problem of our times. they
want man who warmly sympathiz.
es with the aspirations OF labor,
and yet they want one who is sym
pathetic enough with business so
that he will not 20 off halfcocketi
in favor of visionary ideas. Even
the people who do not agree with
Mr.. Taft politically, think that he
has that judicial attitude. and this
feeling has smoothed his way to
the head of the high court.
