FINALLY SCARED CROWS OFF
Device Employed BY Los Angeles Man
Was Somewhat Mors Effective
Than Neighbor's Umbrella.

mot long ago friend Of mine from
Birmingham was sitting out on my
front porch when a flock Of crows
dew across one of my fields" said r.
b. Posey. "and he remarked that 1t
was the biggest lot he had seen for
years. and asked II they did not in
jure my crops. I replied that until
got onto a way to keep them out Of
my watermelon patch they ruined a
lot Of them by pecking holes in one
and then hopping for another.
Il tried various ways but without
success, until put poles around the
patch and ran just an ordinary piece
of cotton around them about eight
feet from the ground, and between the
poles tied pieces of cotton to flap in
the wind 1t worked like charm.
"A neighbor of mine used to say
that he was advised to put an old UNI
brella in the middle of the patch, and
he did 1t, but one day creeping up
behind 1t. he peeped over 1t and there
sat bunch of crows having wa
termelon feast."-Los Angeles Times.

Dropped one-Half.

Jerusalem, situated outside the val

since Solomon's day the want of wa

British, since their occupation, decid-
ed to repair and use the old reser-
voir. now known as Birkett Assoub
and lying a few miles to the south of
Solomon's pool. 1t was built by Pom
titus PLATE and it was from here that
he brought water to the city in the
days of Christ. Pilates old reservoir
was repaired and enlarged, its capac-
ity today being 100000 gallons. Gal
leries were built in various directions
to tap the numerous surrounding
springs, including those Of Ain ed Dir

tized the eunuch. A powerful pump
ing plant was installed by which the
water is pumped up to large reservoirs

No New-FangIed Notions.

John came from down state to the
city schools. He was placed in the
seventh grade, and then his teachers
troubles began. His mother thought
the course of study should be identical
with the one which had held sway in
the faraway red schoolhouse. She oh
jected strenuously to physical culture
and music, saying they were waste
of time.
And then came Johns first day Mt
manual training. The next day came
an indignant note to the teacher from
Johns mother. 1t read: "Dear Miss
- want you to quit having John
waste his time at school. That music
and physical torture exercise was bad
enough, but now you begin to learn
him to whittle. Please stop 1t imme-
diately or I'll change him to another
school. He inherits whittleing from
his father and his brains from me. I'm
paying to educate him, so educate his
brains."-Indianapolis News.

Secretary Daniels would be allowed Col

Daniels, which follows:
Mr. Daniels said 1t had been necessary to fight
continually to prevent exploitation of naval oil re-

more than recognized every equity"
HAS not the time when oil and coal and
