New York sparrows Copy citys Ways

They run true to the tradition of
the pavements and the -tenements,
these English sparrows who fly about
all day in the colonnades OF Madison
Square garden and who roost in the
vicinity each night. Now, the trees
in the square are nothing to boast off,
judged as trees, says New York Sun
writer, but regarded as perches for a
couple of hundred sparrows they
would appear to be entirely adequate.
Not many are large, and some arc
dead apparently, but there are many
vacant limbs and trees enough so that
there should be no housing problem
for the local flock of 'theseasnaAab birds
with drah feathers and a reputation
for worthlessness. =
Instead of taking advantage of all
the vacant limbs and trees that would
afford semi-prjvacy for the dozens. Of
small groups the whole crowd huddles

RAP At MODERN PREACHERS
Bishop Denny Tells Good Story in
Which Distinct Moral Is Not
Too Well Hidden.

Bishop Collins Denny said in an
address in Richmond:
II heard a story the other day that
hits a good many preachers. 1t seems
that the janitor Of a fashionable
church was showing his wife through
the edifice. At the end OF the inspec-
ton he said to her:
"'Would you like to hear me
preach?'
"'Go onl You can't preach! she
objected. "a.
"'Can't I, thought said the janitor,
and he went up into the pulpit and
ranted and roared and ragged a good
20 minutes or more about the vile sins
committed daily by the heather in
equatorial Africa.
'Then when he finished, he said, as
he came down, wiping his hot face:

GREAT DISCOVERY BY YOUTH
Experiments Of Seventeenth Old
Saxon Gave. Drssden China to an
Appreeiative World.

A kings faith in the transmutation
cary's seventeen-year-old son caused
the discovery of the celebrated Dres-
den ware. The king was Augustus Of
Saxony and the boy was Bottiger, who
composed a tincture that was supposed
to be capable of being transformed in
to gold. But being genius wasn't
much fun for Bottiger. for the king
locked him in complete laboratory
and refused him freedom, "O'Dair"
writes in the Milwaukee Sentinel: THE
restraint almost unbalanced the boys
mind. "He fOamed Mt the mouth lard
Knocked his head against the wall and
trembled SO violently that two soldiers
could not hold him. And he drank
u cans of beer day without getting
drunk" 1t was thought advisable to
move the boy to Dresden and give linn
certain liberty. While continuing his,
experiments there he discovered the
Meissen porcelain, commonly taqied
Dresden china. This discovery re-
joiced Augustus and he spent large
sums in constructing the Japan pal.
ace. Many workmen came from Delft
to make the new ware and soon all
Europe was buying Meissen.
In gratitude the king gave Bottiger
his freedom. a ring with his efligy, two,
apes, young bear and credit with
the royal banker, and In addition the
profits from the porcelain factory for
life.
But what do you think! BOttiger
died of dissipation ut the age Of thir-
ty-four.

CHEWING GUM WRlGLEY
HAS MADE "CATALINA"
THE MAGIC ISL &"

There is probably no other en-
terprise in the world as unique and
accomplishing as many distinctive
angles as Catalina Island-the peo-
pies oceanic playground, four sea-
sons of the year.
The remarkable success which
VIM. Wrigley, Jr, has achieved in
so vast and varied an undertaking
is singular tribute to his keen
business ability and efficiency of
his island organization-the Santa
Catalina Island company, of which
He is not only the head, but the
inspiration and guiding hand.
Mr.. Wrigley in developing Cata-
lima into his ideal Of world resort,
took on himself the responsibility,
not alone of bringing people both
summer and winter to the island,
but first, of making provisions to
take care of the thousands of visit
ors seeking the many natural re-
creations found on the Magic Isle.
Housing, eating, water and trans
portation facilities were among the
first problems to be solved. Then
came the making accessible of the
natural beauties of land and sea of
Catalina, for no artificial amuse-
mehts could equal in thrill and en-
chantment those already provided
by nature on this wondrous isle of
the Pacific.
People who have Travelled the
world over, and are qualified to
make comparisons, give Catalina
Island the preference over any re-
sort in either hemisphere. GO
where you will, Catalina is incom-
parable" Is the statement of world
travellers, writers and sportsmen
One writer designates Catalina as
CALIFORNIA; sample package de
luxe"
Let that be as 1t may, the fact
remains that at Catalina a feeling
steals over the visitor, the man or
woman seeking rest, peace and
quiet, that is appreciated the mo-
ment he sets foot on this island that
has been so favored by the Creator
aid by nature. Cares drop away
and tired nerves and brains feel
the recuperative powers of Cata-
lima over night.
One popularity Of the Magic
Isle' Is the inspiration 1t prompts
to express ones feelings in verse or
prose. Possibly this Is because the
island itself is a veritable poem.
When you are tired, and you
wonder where to go for rest, just
step aboard the Catalina boat and
you will leave your troubles be-
hind.
