Ravages Of Small Boy And His Air
Rife Are Described BY Observer

The following communication con-
corning the ubiquitous small boy and
his air rifle has been submitted to
the Republicans:
Old Santa must have put an extra
number of air rifles in his pack be-
fore he strapped il on his sturdy
back and started for Phoenix on
his last trip.
The air rifle brigade is out again!
Having observed them on several
occasions, 1 am convinced that this
is a growing army and that the 're
cruiting stations must be near by.
am not complaining because these
little fellow have their air guns, but
l am complaining because it is so
evident that they have not been
taught where and how to use them.
have talked TO many of these
boys and find that they seem TO be
totally ignorant of the wrong in
ruthlessly killing little birds just for
the sake of taking their lives.
| believe that mothers can help
this condition by telling their boys
the story of life and dwelling upon
the bird life. The earlier we get the
upper hand of the boys the more we
lessen their later power for mischief.
AS the nesting season approaches
I find my interest ever increasing
and so l am enclosing these stories
taken from "a story of life" which
was written by an Arizona woman.
And am hoping that it may be read
by all boys who are inclined to take
the life of little birds:
Birds
There are so many beautiful birds
all singing their own pretty song
that it would be splendid to talk
about them all. but l shall tell Of
some bluebirds that kept house in a
apple tree beneath my window one
spring. After all the ice and snow
had gone and the trees We're wear
ing their pretty green dresses, / was
awakened one morning by Mr.. Blue
bird there in the apple tree by my
window. He was singing as though
he would burst his little throat and
thought he meant to let me know
that if l would let him stay he would
pay his rent by singing his little song.
He was all alone but he was call
ing for his little mate The next
day she Joined him and they seemed
so happy together as they prepared
for housekeeping. In the bird world
the male birds have the brightest
colors and sing the gayest songs
All male birds have a love song for
notes and alarm notes to warn of
danger. When birds are mated they
are husband and wife; and we know
God commanded all things that he
made to bring forth others Of their

then Mrs. Bluebird began to sit on
the eggs. For three weeks she sat
there guarding her little treasures,
and never left her nest except for

was away, Mr.. Bluebird sat on the

am going to tell you a story about
a beautiful little Meadow Lark that
came to spend one winter in the
Salt RIVER valley in Arizona. Some
friends came to take me Tor drive
in the country. There was a II year
old boy with us who had a sling shot
and he had learned to shoot straight
and true with it. We had stopped
the car on a country road and this
boy was stroll.ng down the road. He
stopped and saw a little Meadow
Lark swinging lightly on the fence.
AS he raised his sling / was con-
scious of a clear plaintive thrill but
ne drew back his arm and let go.
The pebble in that sling shot went
straight to the heart of that little
bird and it seemed to split the song
in two. ] was hurt and I ran to get
the victim: then / called the boy to
show him what ] saw in a nest
near by. 1t was full of little bob
bing heads. When he heard the lit
tie peep-peeps he knew he had killed
a mother bird. He looked at me
with tears in his big blue eyes and
then he threw the slingshot away
and made a grave and buried that
poor little mother bird.
Birds belong to the sky; this is
why God gave them wings.
I know that in dealing with boys
and oil children that those things
are worth while that we truly be-
lieve have value, and that we shall
be astonished at the response that
we get from their unspoiled minds

RAIL LABOR PEACE
GL|MPSED BY DAVIS
Secretary Says Workers on
Roads Realize Duty to
Serve Public.
By the Associated Press.


SEATTLE. WASH. October 3d.
Hope of an early solution Of the
problem of railroad conditions was
expressed by James ]. Davis. secre-
tary of Labor, in a statement made
public here last night.
"In the past three weeks 1 have
Travelled more than 5000 miles on
six of our great railway systems"
Mr.. Davis said. "On this trip I
have been able to get in touch with
the human factor in transportation
problems, having talked with the men
who do the work on these roads.
Il have been impressed with the
strong sense of responsibility among
the railroad workers and with their
recognition Of the duty that they and
their employers owe to the whole
people. To my mind we are getting
close to a solution of the problem Of
insuring industrial peace on our rail-
roads. The men. who do the work are
almost universally convinced that
means can be found to adjust the re-
lations Of the railroads and their en-
ployes in such a way as to eliminate
all possibility of great railroad
strikes.
There seems to be feeling among
the workers that government med
ding without real power behind it
tends to stir up dissatisfaction and
irritation and that the decentraliza-
tion Of the treatment Of railroad labor
controversies is vitality needed.
Il am hopeful that by tho time
have returned to Washington 1t will
be possible to formulate a definite
program that will deal sensibly and
practically on a human basis with
the problem Of railroad labor condi-
tions."

When Rasmussen came upon the
Eskimos in his recent journey they

mediately their attitude changed. The
women and children tumbled out OF
their hiding places and the men en-
braced the explorer, showering their
simple hospitality upon him:
They were Of a decidedly lower
stage of civilization than the Green

collect q valuable store OF their
legends and folklore.
The winter climate he encountered
was even more harsh than that OF
