Plant Trees for feathered Folks.

Home owners, in planting trees,
shrubs and vines, should take into
consideration the idea of growing
plants that will attract birds. accord :
ing to Professor Alan +. Arnold of
the New York State College of For
cstry, who finds that there is posi-
bility of many of our native birds
disappearing altogether for lack of
food and shelter.
The list of trees, shrubs and vines
attractive to birds includes many of
our most orna mental plants. There
is no more valuable evergreen tree for
ornamental purposes than the native
red cedar: it also provides the hes!
shelter and nesting sites for birds,
while they find food in the berries and
insects commonly found on the tree.
The native Towering dCgwood and
the Chinese Towering crabapple are
two particularly beautiful trees that
are favorites with the birds. The
gray stelnmcd dogwood, honeysuckle
American elder and sheepberry are
ornamental. The Virginia creeper,
one of the most popular vines, furn-
ishes nesting sites for birds and draws
the attention of the birds away from
grapes, apples and peaches.
IF one has place where plants of
4 wilder sort can be introduced" said
Professor Arnold, land wishes to
make special point Of attracting
birds. there g great variety of
native plants that could not perhap
be used for more finished effects. but
here would be just the thing These
are mulberry. tupelO and white
spruce. such shrubs as the spice bush.
choke cherry and swamp rose and
bitterSweet and frost grape vines.
The Towering dCgwood. mulberry,
wild black cherry, hayherry. Ameri-
can elder and high bush BURBERRY
can be counted on in general to at
tract the bluebird. cardinal flicker.
kingbird. Baltimore oriole. robin and
cedar waXwing.
THE home owner interested in OBJ
serving birds himself, or affording an
opportunity for his children: the
farmer who desires to protect his
fruit crops and the person who wish
es to assist in the conservation OF our
city and our forest trees. as well as
our native birds. can perform great
public service by planning his plant
ing with the birds in mind"

Queer Reward for Indian Women

Hindu and MOslem women in in
creasing numbers are contenting
themselves with wearing long veil
in public. and in political and social
gatherings the proportion of seats re-
served for women is increasing" says
Prof. L. F. Rushbrook Williams, di-
rector of the Indian Central Bureau
of Information, in report on the
moral and material progress and con-
dition of India.
He points out, however, that the
"purdah" (seclusion of women) is
considered fashionable. No sooner
does a class of society which has not
hitherto observed this custom rise in
the social scale than the seclusion OF
women is gradually introduced as the
hallmark of agood form"
Throughout India less than 2.00O,-
coo women and girls are under in
struction Of any kind.

the manufacturers are putting Out
this money.
In speaking in reference to the en-
ployment5of the idle hour. of the in
dlvidual who works, Judge Cleaves
said that speaking from II years ex-
perience in the municipal court, ne
thought that many of the minor Of
lenses that came before the court
were caused by mis- employment or
the idle hour of the man who is en-
pioyed. Their hours have not been
decentlyi employed and much of it is
due to non-education. But he thought
that some means should be provided
for opportunities of proper employ
ment of the idle hour. He told of the
Pepperell Mills in Biddeford which
have given $4,000 for a public play
ground and the good that should
come from it. In referring to the
project for a public playground on
Mt. Katahdin, which has been dis
cussed in the Legislature, Judge
Cleaves said that when there is a
playground and a park in every in
dustrial center and in smaller COM
munities a similar project. then IL
there is any money he would be will
ing to have it put in playground
en- Mt. Katahdin.
One of the things which the Asso-
ciated Industries wishes to do. ne
said, is to create a sentiment in all
people and especially in the members
of the Legislature for making decent
nj mt n
the idle hour. He spoke of the mo-
notony of some workers lives. How
they knew what they were to do from
morning till night each day. and
said those are the people who must
be provided for. He told of the ef-
forts of State Librarian Henry Dun
mack, in making arrangements 10
place travelling Libraries in all manu-
featuring plants to give those an OPP
portunity to read who want TO do so,
without having to go to the public
library. as many times working peo-
pie feel a reticence about going to a
public reading room.
After telling of these things that
might be done, Judge Cleaves said
that there was one fly in the ONT
ment and he didn't know how it was
going to be pulled out. This is that
there has grown up and persists a
feeling that if company tries to DO
anything for it's employees, someone
will fly up and ask what is behind it.
This is the attitude of a few of the
workers towards the employers.
But, he said, the relations are i'm
proving; there is a desire on the part
of the employer for trusteeship and
a new idea of trusteeship and 10
years from now, with a proper CO.
operative effort. some arrangement
may he made which will be reflected
to the members of the Legislature
and those troubles will vanish.
Judge Cleaves said that he hoped
that he had created a suspicion that
the Associated Industries, whom he
represents, had some other motive
than a perfectly selfish one in their
efforts.
A rising vote of thanks was rem
dered Judge Cleaves for his excellent
talk and then Chairman Welch an
nounced that in two weeks. on Sun
day. February II. Hon. William r.
Pattangall would he the speaker at
the Forum meeting.
