New York.-RecognitiOn of the

women would lose a special privilege
now accorded them. For the proposal
to change the ceremony also provides
for striking out the bridegroOm's

The commissioners report will be
submitted to the triennial general con-
ventien of the church at Portland. Ore,

ton of the church, it cannot be adopt
ed until it has been approved by two
general conventions.

At present the woman promises to

Give PLAYLET
"The Birds Of Killingsworth" To
Be Presented BY East Ameri-
Gus School

1.-The Birds of Killingworth," un-
der the direction of Miss Naomi
Wright, teacher in the East Amer
icus school, is being rehearsed daily
for presentation Friday evening in
the high school, auditorium.
More than 100 children are includ-
ed in the little play, which has in
corporated in its cast of characters
flowers, birds, fairies, and spring,
representing a lovely little scenic
play in the bird kingdom.
The synopsis is pleasing, and re-
lates how the people of Killingworth
met in session for the purpose of
extermindtine the birds from the
municipality, depicting them as pests
and not to be endured. A few bird
lovers in the meeting protested, adj
vocating life for the little tribe as
the best friends of the common
wealth. Their protest being oVerrul-
ed, a penalty of cents is placed
on the head of every. bird in the
woodland, and young boys provided
with rifles and sling shots for their
destruction.
Complete humiliation ensues, with
the result that the farmers, garden
ers and residents of Killingworth are
overrun with insects, flies and vari-
Gus forms Of pests which the birds
had heretofore rid them of. Spring
comes out, finding the fields bare
and brow nand scar, and pleads for
the revival of birdlife with its conse-
quent JOY of music and singing. The
people comply, and birds and flow
ers revive under the magic touch of
spring and the butterflies, who go
about with golden wants, touching
each lifeless twig and flowe, until
everything is bright and, happy al:ain.
