BLUE LAWS IN AUSTRALIA.
Pleasure Seekers Can't Have Music,
Dancing and Liquor All at Once

Australians like music, dancing and
liquor, but they are not allowed to like
all three of them at the same time, ac-
cording to c. F. TYLER. a hotel manager
from sydney, Australia. told. at the Ho-
tel McAlpin, where he is stopping, of
the efforts to make effective the blue
laws there. Mr.. Tyler is here to study
the innovations and methods of opera
ton in the principal hotels here with a
view to adopting them at home
- No hotel or restaurant having a liq-
uor license is permitted to offer music
and dancing as added features, said
Mr.. Tyler and, contrarily, no dance
hall is permitted to sell liquor How
ever, the law does prevent hotel OF
restaurant from building a ballroom ad-
joining the main structure. A few steps
between the doorways of the two build
ings quickly solves the problem of get
ting n drink between dances or a dance
between drinks The wartime law clos
ing bars at 6 clock is still in operation
but registered guest in hotel may or
der as much liquor as he wants at any
time. This 6 clock closing law has
made the pocket flask almost as popular
in Australia as it is in America -
Mr.. Tyler said travel to and from Aus
tralia had been light during 1921, Be

steamer week arrived 1T Sydney, but

''On the average there are in the Uni

acre, but where they are protected and
encouraged it has been demonstrated that
very great increase over the normal
bird population can be secured No
fewer than 80 pairs to the acre is the
number reached in most successful of
these attempts reported. Naming the

estimate ridiculously low, but used to

a particular farm may not have so
large bird population as it should, and
therefore NAV not be deriving the bene-
TT which is its due. The most effective
means of increasing the number of birds
is protection, and protection in its best
sense is afforded by the establishment
of bird refugees.
''In creating n useful bird refuge the
first step is to insure adequate protcc-
ton against all bird enemies; the sec
ond to see that plenty of nesting sites
suited to the needs of the various birds
are available. and the third to improve
food and water supplies if necessary"
Bird refugees also NAV be established
along roadways and right Of ways with
particularly attractive and beneficial re-
sults.-New York Times.
