contest. The two rooms are white
washed except for the smoke-dark
rafterS of the kitchen which rise in
peak above the great stone hearth
There is an aperture for the escape
of smoke. The floors are of beaten
earth, the Scant furniture of beech

bark. On the walls are tackled bright
home-woven rugs and the little

PLEA FOR BIRD PROTECTION
Feathered Creatures Alone Are Able
to Wage Effective War on Insects
That Destroy Crops.


1t has been estimated, and no doubt
conservatlvely, that insects injure the
crops in the United States annually to
the amount of more than three-qunr-
tiers of billion dollars. All will agree
that If every portion of this loss could
be avoided by the protection Of bird
. life, 1t would be well worth the cost
Not only the farm crops and gardens
suffer, but orchards, forests and shade
trees are greatly injured by insect
pests, condition Of which the people
of Massachusetts are probably better
aware than are the inhabitants of any
other state
There Is q Northumberland story
of Bavarlan nobeman who made a
so delightful to the feathered folk that
when a scourge of destructive insects
swept over the country, the summer
jewellers protected his trees from
devastating worms that stripped bare
the neighboring forests. Similar oc-
currences on smaller scale are per-
haps not uncommon. Manifestly, from
the standpoint of good citizenship,
which calls for wise economic policies,
bird protection as subject for ma
tlonal legislation Is deserving of most
careful consideration for these little
friends Of man, II they are encour-
aged and protected, render very val
liable service. Much wise Legislation
has been enacted, but there is need
of more to make our bird friends Sc
cure.

The Age of
Julia
By CLARISSA MACKIE

g. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
Miss Marsh of the trimming counter
touched her beautifully waved hair
with a polished finger tip, then she
tilted the tiny mirror so that she
could see her wlstful brown eyes and
hunt out a suspected line near her
mouth. Suddenly she closed the vani-
ty case with little snap and regarded
Its gold and pink enamel beauty with
cold dlsfavor.
"That," she said bitterly, "would
have bought whole set Of aluminium
cooking utensils"
what are you talking aboutT
painted stout Mrs. Cadge, buyer for
the corset department. Cooking uten-
sils are Of no use to you In your eight
by-ten room at the boarding house, and
believe me, Julia, at your age you
should be glad to have such fine pros
pect as marrying Herbert Lindsay
l suppose 1t will be soon"
"How long have we been engaged?"
demanded Julie.
II don't know-a few years"
"Ten" interrupted Julia.
"That's better than nothing-plenty
of girls here In Spinnakers would be
glad of your chance"
II suppose So" murmured Julia as
they returned to their respective de-
partments.
Mr.. Herbert Lindsay, who had sold
mems clothing for 20 years in the
front Of the big store, gloomed at the
handsome sapphire pin he was thrust
ing into his scarf. "If had all the
money that Julia invested in scarf
pins" he thought, 81 could have built

JET is AN OLD-TIME FAV0RITE
Julius Caesar Aludes to the Abund-
ance Of Mineral in Brit
ain

No one knows when Jet first came
into use. 1t has been used since be-
fore historic times and was common
in the bronze age, from which times
have come Jet beads, buttons, rings,
armlets and other ornaments. Julius
Caesar alludes to the abundance Of
jet in Britain, and Jet ornaments are
found with Roman relics in them. The
monks used Jet for rosary beads at
Whltby abbey (England) and at Whit
ney, where 1t was found In the greatest
abundance. Il occurs in irregular
masses In hard shale known as Jet
rock. Often microscopic examination
dlscloses conlferous wood in the com
position Of Jet 1t is probable that Jet
was developed when masses Of wood
drifted down the river, rotted or be-
came water-logged and sank out at
sea, becoming gradually buried In a
deposit of the mud, which hardened
eventually into shale. Sometimes drops
Of bitumen are found in Jet cavities
which seems to more or less confirm
the suspicion of Its wood origin.

Great Charity Day in England.

Throughout all England Maundy
Thursday Is a great public charity day,
and baskets of food are given to the
poor. Curiously exact and careful rec
ords of these benefactions have been
kept. The kings took care to have the
number Of beggars served each year
and the precise extent Of the charity
bestowed set down in detail.
1t was the custom to have as many
beggars come to the palace as the
sovereign was years old. When their
feet had been washed the king gave
each gift Of money and meat and
clothes.
Before the royal hands SO much as
touched the towels, however, the
plebelan feet were well scrubbed by
the yeomen Of the laundry, perfumed,
and turned over to the subalmoner,
who had charge Of the gifts, and by
him scrubbed again. The third pair
Of hands that went through the dis
play of humility were those Of the
monarch himself.

Chinese Ancestor Worship.

In China almost every family has,
In the main hall Of the house, Its ian
cestral shrine" wherein are arranged
the ancestral tablets. These tablets are
made of wood or stone or marble, ac-
cordlng to the financial circumstances
of the family, and inscribed thereon
are the names, titles, dates Of birth
and death of deceased ascendants and
the names and degrees of relationship
Of their nearest living descendants.
Twice a year, on the birthday and
death-day Of the departed. ceremonies,
consisting chiefly Of obeisances before
the tablets, are held. The use Of the
tablet as an object Of reverence Is not
due to the belief that the spirit of the
departed resides In 1t, but rather that
1t Is symbol to be remembered and
respected by the living; and the days
set apart for "worshlp" are no more
religious than is remembrance Of the
dead.

poxls Made Good az Detective

Somebody recalls Sir Conan Doyle's
activities as detective back In 1901
when he applied the Sherlock Holmes
methods to an English criminal case
and succeeded In bringing about the
release Of an apparently innocent man.
That was the EdJali affair, which was
widely exploited in the English news
papers at the time. EdJall, the son
of Parsee and an Englishwoman, was
accused Of wantonly manning animals.
The prosecution made out strong
case against him. 1t was alleged that
on certain dark night he went to
a field near his home and there bru-
tally mutilated a horse. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle became convinced Of his
innocence, and succeeded in proving
beyond a doubt that the nearsIghted-
ness of the prisoner was Of 80 extreme
a nature that he would have been un-
able to find the field, let alone the
horse.

HOW TO CLEAN GILT FRAMES
Can Be Done Without injury to Gold
Loaf, II the Following Rules
Are Observed.


Almost every house has at least a
few old gold picture frames. How
to clean these without the risk Of
rubbing off the thin gold leaf is mat
ter which concerns most women.
Brush all dust from the frame, and
with soft hogs hair brush dipped
in clean, cold water, frequently
changed, brush all the ornamental
parts carefully avoiding the bur
nished parts. This will remove all
dust and fy-marks. The frame must
now be allowed to dry thoroughly.
Now make a mixture of one pint Of
water, one ounce methylated spirits,
and half-ounce Of ammonia. Go over
the gold with this, using small camel
hair pencil brush, and avoiding bur
nlshed portions. Each time the brush
is removed from the frame 1t must
be washed In water and squeezed out
before being dipped into the spirit
mixture. The quicker you do this job
the better.
The FURNISHED parts now require at
