Bird Mioration to Siberia.

With the autumn season comes the
migration of birds. From Britain
they migrate to Africa; in Australia
the birds fly away to eastern Siberia.
During the Australian winter the snow
melts in Siberia and 1t becomes an
elysium for birds from every country
Of the East. A few days after the
snow has gone pansies, anemones, n
dwarf roses appear in flower and the
birds find a rich store of c~ranberries.

for food. The thrush of birds INTO
eastern Siberia at migration times is
one Of the most marvellous sights in
the world; every pool left by the
melting snow is black with them. The
Australian birds have the longest
journey to make of all, coming from
5000 miles away.

THE FRIENDLY PATH.

ut HE rich will do anything
. for the poor except get
off their backs"
I This statement once waS made
/. by Tolstoi, the famous Russian
, writer, often lauded as the
. greatest friend Of the working
, man In the world.
, What would he say or write
|, today were he alive to see the
hundreds of thousands of starv-
ing women and children In his
native land crying In vain for
"a hunk of black bread and a
draft of bird-seed tear"
One need not seek the rich
men in order to find those who
mistreat the unfortunate poor.
Lenin and Trotzky have bam-
bOozled thousands into follow
ing them until the great power
of the Russian people was vir-
tually wrested from them to be
turned upon their own homes.
Wealth is not to blame for
most of the injustices visited
upon humanity. Most of those
who possess more than the
average of material things r
aids to our happiness arid civil
ization. It's the clamoring after
wealth that turns the world up
side down and tramples unfor-
Inmates underfoot.
AS far back as history re-
cords some have had more than
others. 1t will always be thus.
Few of those who clamor most
for a flair" distribution would
be satisfied If given what they
claim is their share. Nor would
they keep it long If they got 1t.
Financial gains "a only be
honestly acquired by contribut-
Ing something to mankind In
return for it and by improving
ones frame of mind.
The world is not all wrong by
a great deal. Many are just
thinking and living wrongly.
Their unhappiness is the fruit
of their selfishness.

of these gatherings is to give the

HORTENSE.

r TORTENSE is essentially a French
name, though she has been
adopted by all countries and she
has the almost unique distinction
among feminine names of having no
contractions, ~diminutives or offspring
of any form. Hortense she begins and
Hortense she remains throughout his
tory, with the single exception of Italy
where the "H' is sometimes dropped
and she is called Ortensia.
Like Sylvia, she is something of an
ancient sylvan name, having come
originally from the Latin "hortus,"
meaning a garden. The slave who
tended those elaborate Roman gardens
was called ~hortensius, and, finally
through some strange quirk of fancy,
it came to name an honorable old
plebeian game.
For many centuries it continued in
Italy and gradually the masculine form
Ortensio came into use as a proper
name, quickly followed by the fem
mime 0rtensia. The most famous Or
tensia Of those days was Ortensia
Mancini, the niece Of Mazarin. This
notable lady carried her name into
France, where the French straightway

TWO PLANSDIVIDE G. o. P.
Immediate Relief Most Popular
With Ranking Minority
Member.

The soldier bonus bill is to be con.
sidered by the full Senate finance
committee at a meeting tomorrow
| morning. For the first time, the demo
cratic members Of the committee
have been invited to attend the con-
ferences on the bonus bill. The re-
publican members of the committee
struggled to get together on a meas
ure that would command the ap-
proval of good majority. if it could
not have the unanimous support OF
the republican membership of the
committee. have themselves hopeless
ly divided.
The two plans over which the re-
publicans have divided are the So
called McCumber plan. which pro-
vides for certificates to be issued to
the former service men, on which
they can borrow money IL they de.
sire, much as in the case of the
House bill. and the so-called Smoo,
plan, which provides for the issue OF
paid up insurance to the former serv-
ice men.
Immediate Relief Favored
As between the two plans it was
indicated by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, ranking democratic
member of the finance committee, last
night that he would favor the plan
which gave the former service men
the greatest immediate benefit.
These plans have not yet been sub
mitted to me-" said Senator Simmons.
so I cannot discuss them in detail"
He said. however, that he regard
ed the House plan as "camouflage.
bonus plan that would give to the
former service men who really need
ed aid not sufficient money to help
them, while it would give too much
to the men who did not need any
assistance.
Would Approve Cash Plan.
If he had his way, he indicated,
Senator Simmons would approve a
straight cash bonus for the former
service men, relying upon the money
which this government will receive
from it's foreign creditors to meet the
payments. He said he believed that
interest on the foreign debts would
be coming in soon in large amounts
and this interest could be used. II
it was not sufficient, then some of
the bonds could be sold and the pro-
ceeds used or short-time certificates
could be issued and retired as the
money from the foreign debt came in.
Indications are that the demo-
cratic members will support the Nc
Cumber plan rather than the smoot
plan, since they will not be strong
enough to draft a plan of their own,
and that eventually bonus bill
somewhat similar to the House bill
will be reported to the Senate.

Walter S. Ward. wealthy baker, who

Peters, former Navy man. regained
his freedom this afternoon.
After two nights in the dingy
county Jail he was released by
Sheriff Werner under $4,000 bail.
There he jumped into a motor car
and hurried out of town. after tele-
turning to his home in New Rochelle.
Ward had waited since noon for
his lawyers to rush down from New

Seeger had signed an order for his
release under heavier bail than the

for a short statement. Ward turned,
