Tracing Movement Of Birds.

The desire to learn what become OF
birds that flew south with the approach
Of cold weather led Audubon, the great
American naturalist, to place silver
threads about the legs of a brood of
phoebes. The following spring he was
rewarded by having two of the birds
return to nest near the haunts where
they learned to fly.
This occurred early in the Nine.
teenth century, and was the first
known case in America Of bird band.

birds has been used by many societies,
and every fall thousands of birds fly
south bearing narrow rings stamped

In Defense Of Corscts.

Sir James Camille, the great surgeon
and authority on tropical diseases, Is
Il warm defender Of cOrsets. In his
opinion the comparative absence of
liver troubles In women Is due large
ly to the eQuable temperature their
bodies obtain through wearing cor
sets. And more boys than girls die
In childhood because the former do
not wear corsets. He urges men to
wear cholera belts-a strip of flannel

protection that corsets give to women.

CAME FROM BROKEN RAINBOW
Pretty Legend Of the Iris which
Should Sc Familiar to Every
Lover Of the Flower.

Preparations for the Joint display ny
the American Iris society and the Co.
unbus Iris society, held in Columbus,
led to a discussion the other day OF
the origin Of this beautiful flower.
Prof. A. G. Hotties of the department
Of horticulture Of Ohio State univer-
sity told this story, according to the
Columbus Dispatch:
1T was the last Of the six days OF
creation. A rainbow was above the
earth and on this rainbow sat group
of angels. Casting their eyes around
and over the vast universe they dis
covered far below them this new world
and were charmed by the beauty OF
it's mountains, Its trees, Its lakes and
its plains.
"Ihe earth was filled with all man.
ner of strange animals, and yet among
them walked something so beautiful
that even the angels marveled at the
handiwork Of God. for they saw, with.
in the Garden Of Eden, Adam and his
wife, Eve.
"Marveling at the sight Of such
great beauty and wishing to share this
with other friends, they called many
other angels to their lookout upon the
rainbow, and these angels In turn
called others, until finally the weight
was great and the rainbow cracked.
But they did not know that the rain
bow had cracked, and so they contln'
ued to call other angels. Suddenly
the rainbow broke into thousands Of
pieces and fell to earth.
Lovers of flowers know that it vas
the iris that received these bits Of
he rainbow and that Is why its colors
are so delicate and so numerous"

Watch Your Pauera

Look out for the broom and dust
pan. Many valuable papers may be
swept out Of existence il you do not
have a good system that insures these
papers and records being properly
cared for. No one should make
"a transaction on a slip Of paper and

good system Of accounting will do
away with memoranda pads Of re-
cording and consequent danger Of loss

Are you taking at least eight glass.

Fiye-year-0ld Mary Ellen likes the

NOTHING HEARD HERE
 OF DRAFT DEsERTER LISTS

Nothing has been heard her yet by the Norwich draft board of list of draft de- serters such as has been sent out from Washington to some other Connecticut cities Bridgeport and Hartford are re- ported to have received lists this week.
 4 letter accompanying the lists ex- plains that the persons named on the lists are not to be directly approached but that other means of veriieation shall be used to determine which names ought to be eliminated from the list. These lists are not to be published but are to be sent back to the war department at Washing ingten as soon as possible. The war de- partment urges that the checking up bt 1 done with despatch.
 In thV letter the men whose nance appear on the list are characterized a: draft deserters." As the local drafi 1 boards have no records of any kind. al
 draft records having been sent to Wash
 ington in March of 1913. the most effect
 i've means of checking off those whos'
 names should appear on the list is tt | compare it with the American Legion rol | of members. Such a large proportion 0 1 the service men became members of tn
 American Legion it is quite possible tha some names will be corrected in this way It is assumed that all names on tn American Legion roll are bona fide servie
 men and the presumption is in their fave of having such names removed from tn
 stacker list if they appear there
