Great Devastation Despite
Heroic Efforts to Feed
Storm Bound Birds
and Animals

DETROIT. March 21-The humani-
tartan impulses of the peoples of Alichi-
gan have never been better eXemplified
than during the recent storm. when the
wild animal life of the entire state was
threatened with extinction by the sleet
and ice that covered the ground for
days.
Despite the heroic measures taken by
the people of the northern part of the
state. the storm was 50 severe that it is
feared that on the western side years
will be required to replace birds and
beasts lost and starved. Talk is already
being heard of asking the next legisla-
ture to tighten the game laws for long
number of years to avert the passing
of the birds altogether.
The stories of the hardships volun-
tarily shouldered by the citizens of
northern Michigan in order that their
friends of the air and the forests might
defeat the forces of nature that sought
to stamp them out, are just beginning
to come into Detroit. Countless in
stances are recorded of the self-sacrifice
of these northern Michigan folk who
forgot their own comforts to minister to
the things that usually receive but
scant attention.
When the ice king descended upon the
district he left behind a coating of ice
through which bird claws and beakS
could not break to reach the natural
food underneath. Deer and other ami
mails, usually able to scrape away the
snow with their hoofs and gain Susten-
ance found their effort baked by the
icy barrier. The birds and beasts were
unable to find food on trees and bushes
/ because they, ike the earth, were en-
crusted with the ice mantle.
Although farmers and townspeOple
alike rallied to the call and placed food
where il could be reached quickly by
the suffering inhabitants of the woods,
the task was so great and the need 50
urgent that thousands of birds and ami
mails are known to have died by starya-
| tion before aid could be taken to them
Hundreds of dead cartridges and small
animals have been found in the Petoskey
/ district. Near Cadillac the number that
starved was even greater, according to
reports, because birds found buds of
! bushes and trees completely coated with
| ice.

HOW TO GET COLORED
CLOTHES CLEAN WITH
OUT FADING THEM

Colored clothes seem to get
more than their share of dirt.
Play-clothes the children romp
in-colored shirts and overalls
the men work in-house dresses
and kitchen aprons.
Haven't you done three-fourths
of your washboard rubbing on
those things? Rubbed till the
color came out with the dirt?
Don't rub them again. Just
soak them clean in Rinse suds.
A half hour in these big lasting
suds gently loosens all the dirt
without weakening a single
thread. Only the worst spots of
all need a light rubbing. Try a
little dry Rinse on these.
Rinse, the new kind of soap,
is replacing bar soap in American
homes.
