BIRD LOVERS FORM LEAGUE
Two Hundred Thousand Australians
in Organization to Promote knowi-
edge Among Children.

About 100000 Australians are
enrolled in the Bird Lovers league.
Among the ways in which Australian
children are brought into line with
the ideals of the bird lovers who
started this movement are COMPETE
tions in drawing birds from MEM
DRY, the imitation of bird calls, and
the Identification of birds by name.
At a public gathering in Melbourne
recently, colored chalks were given
the children and they were allowed
five minutes to do q blackboard
sketch. The winner showed an alert
and life-like kookaburra, OF laughing
jackass. In the test which called
for limitations of birds one of the
best was that of the curious laugh
of the kookaburra, which rings
through the Australian bush and is
often heard in the outskirts of town.

ton of birds, was conducted by the

onds, during which time the COM
petitors had to write down the cor

GLASS SHIELDS FOR CANDLES
Devised by King Alfred to Assure
That the Flame Would Burn
Without FIutterina.

The glass sconce for the candle,

Saxon England to the time of King
Alfred, and his chief reason for US
ing it was not for ornament but to
keep the light steady, since he told
the passage of time by the distance
the taper had burned down-haying
marks on the candle chimney" to
indicate hours.
In New York today time is not
measured with tapers, but tapers are
bought with very definite under
standing as to the length of time
they will burn. Candlemakers who
deal in the heavy Handicapped wax
shrine candles will guarantee great
candles that sell for SO many dol
lars to burn about a month-in-
doors. Out of doors the time they
burn depends on the wind and the
weather, but generally they will LIST
at least a couple of days.-New

BARLEY STANDARD OF WEIGHT
Measurements That Today Seem Odd
Were Established In England
by King Henry III.

Parliament, during the reign Of
Henry III, established standards Of
length and weight with actual
grains of wheat and barley as a
basis. Three barley corns were an
inch, and from that was built up
our table of inches, feet, ellis (yards),
perch and acre. One restriction was
that the barley corn must be dry and
taken from the middle of the ear
and laid end to end.
Under the same system, it is re-
corded, 80 grains of wheat made
penny-weight, and from that as a
basis they worked out the Troy
pound in which 10 ounces still
make pound. Originally the sizes
of shoes were based upon grains OF
barley, and it is said that these
are the same today as in the early
days. There were IS grains OF bar
ley to each size.
"Furlong" is an old English word
meaning 'furrow long," and is based
upon the length furrow would be
in square ten-acre field.

EXPLAINS PRESENCE OF HARP

There has been quite lot of dis
cussion latterly in regard to the
Irish harp as we see it on the royal
standard. But not SO many people
are aware why the harp dis
placed "the crown of Munster" as
the heraldic device of Ireland. Tt
was Henry VIII-the first Of the
monarchs to call himself king of
Ireland-who definitely made the
change, though no Irish device Of
any sort appeared on the royal
standard itself till the reign of
James I. Various guesses have been
made as to Henry's motive-one,
that the three gold crowns on blue
ground might be mistaken for the
pope's triple crown.-Montreal Ga

ANOTHER MYSTERY SOLVED

He stood amid the blaze and

portrait of beautiful woman. His
face was pale and haggard, his lips
moved convulsiyely.
What was this mystery? Was
this the picture of his departed
wife? Mol Was it the portrait of
his dead but dearly remembered
daughter? MOI What, then, was
the cause of his haggard face?
Was it not the same portrait that
two minutes ago had fallen from its

hens egg on his head? 1t was.

New Toy, the invention of California
Man, Really Is an Ingenious
Idea.

The nursery ought to find delight
in a new kind of plaything patented
by Matti Wainola, a resident of Los
Angeles. 1t is hollow glass ball
filled with water and containing one
or two quaint little dolls, so weighted
as to make them preserve an up
right posture under all circum-
stances. Their lower ends ICON
tanning the weights) are hemispNer-
ical in form, SO that when the ball
is pushed along the floor by forked
handle, rolling as it goes, they con-
stantly twirl, dodge about and gy-
rate. The fork of the handle is piv-
oted to pegs on opposite sides of
the ball, thereby enabling the latter
to roll wheel fashion. The water
serves the purpose of holding the
dolls in place to certain extent,
preventing them from moving too
rapidly.
The same invention in another
form is disc-shaped, likewise of glass
and filled with water apd may con-
tain mechanically jointed figure
mounted on a leaden wheel. 1t is
operated in the same way, with
forked handle to push it, the figure
bending its knees and body up and
down.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SUITS AGAINST THREE PHOENIX
 REALTORS FILED

Phoenix, April 25.-The controversy over the enforcement of the real es- tate law passed by the Fifth legisla- ture requiring all real estate opera tors in the state to obtain a license reached a climax yesterday with the filing of three criminal complaints against Phoenix real estate agents, which charge the three realtors with operating without license in viola tion of the act. Other complaints will be filed within the next few days, ac- cording to an announcement made by w. J. Galbraith, attorney general.
 The controversy over the act be- gan several days ago with the filing by Howard F. Dillman, Phoenix real tor, of a suit against Rudolph Kuch- Ter, state real estate commissioner, asking for an injunction to restrain him from enforcing the provisions of the act on the grounds that it was unconstitutional. A general demurrer to this suit will be argued in Judge Sanfords' court on Monday morning.
 The criminal complaints filed yes terday were against Dillman, D. H. Mcdonald and Mrs. Bessie Sheldon, MT. Galbraith said. Other realtors in the city who have failed to take out licenses, MT. Galbraith said, have promised they would do so at once. The law was enacted at the request of the realtors of the state, MT. Gal braith declared, and is a measure of protection to the realtor and the pub lie and beneficial to both, he says.
 To date according to figures on file in the office of MT. Kuchler, 195 real estate brokers in the state have ob- tained licenses and 66 salesmen. Mir. Kuchler stated that he had received letters from the realty board in Tue son offering him their assistance in prosecuting under the provisions of the law, those who have failed or re- fuse to obtain the license required, in compliance with the law.

DAM
 DEDICATION MAY 10

FLORENCE, Ariz., April 16.-The great diversion dam in the Gila river known officially as the Ashurst-Hay- den dam, will be dedicated with ap- propriate ceremonies on the 10th day of May. Several speakers of nation al reputation are expected to be on the program, and it is planned to make ,the occasion one of the greatest in the history of Arizona.
 It is quite likely that Secretary Fall of the interior department will be present as the personal representative of President Harding, and deliver the chief address. Arrangements are now under way to secure other speakers Of equal prominence to participate in the dedicatory ceremonies. If it is pos sible to arrange it, President Harding will be asked to make short address to the crowd by use of a long dis tance or wireless amplifier.
 Work on the dam was begun Feb ,ruary IA, 1921. The irrigation project to be developed under the diversion dam alone consists of 62,0OO acres of land. Of this acreage, 35,00O is al- lotted to the Indian reservation below Florence, and 27,000 acres of lands be- longing to white settlers around Flor ence and Casa Grande. Of the 27,- 900 acres awarded the white settlers, 17,5OO acres lie in the Florence dis trict of the valley, and $500 acres in the Casa Grande district.
 The dam itself is 40 feet long and 24O feet in width, and is the first large dam of the pure Indian weir type constructed in the United States on any stream of consequence. The canal gates and head-works are all on the south side of the river, the north side canal being fed by tun- mel or bore thorugh the superstruc- ture of the dam itself three and one half feet in diameter.
 There are ten canal gates of the skimmng type, which feed into the main canal on the south side. This canal has capacity of 1000 second feet. The dam, headgates and canal are of size and are so constructed as to take care of the diversion sys- tenn under the great San Carlos stor- age reservoir when that shall have been built.
 Big delegations of prominent Ari- zonians are expected from Phoenix, Tucson, Nogales, Prescott, Mesa, Chandler, Globe, Miami, Tempe, Glen dale, Tombstone, Douglas and Bisbee. The dedication of the Ashurst-Hayden diversion dam is going to be the big gest event in the history of Arizona for some time to come.

MINING DISTRICTS
 SOUTHERN ARIZONA

About 20 miles southwest of Tucson is short mountain range known as the Sierrita Mountains, in which a granite axis is flanked by sedimen- tary rocks that have been altered and mineralized by the intrusion of the granite. On the east slope of the range lies the Pima district, in which are the copper, lead, and zinc mines near Mineral Hill and the copper min es near Twin Buttes. Some of these mines, particularly those near TwiH Buttes, have yielded much copper. In 1916 the copper output from the Pima district amounted to 6,6s3,094 pounds, but by 1919 it had declined to 1,004,- 851 pounds.
 High-grade silver ore was mined 20 to 35 years ago from the Olive and other mines on group of rather mar row veins between Mineral Hill and Twin Buttes. These old workings have long been abandoned, but it is by no means certain that the ores of this locality are entirely exhausted. The ores in the Papago district, which is on the west slope of the range, have been much less extensively de- veloped. Some high-grade silver ore has been mined, but most of the work done has been merely prospecting.
 Both districts are briefly described in report just issued by the U. &. Geological Survey, Bulletin 725-J, en- titled "Ore deposits of the Sierrita Mountains, Pima County, Arizona"

The Photographic Office of the Navy Department frequently receives several "bottle papers" picked. up at sea by vessels. These bottle manu- scripts contain interesting and valu- able data to the marine map workers sent out by the Navy Department. These bottle papers are dropped in all seas to determine the flow of the sea currents. They are printed in nine languages and contain the name of the "dropper," the ship, the date and the ships position. The finder signs his name and forwards the paper to the Photographic Office.
