Grow a Common-Sense Bird

In the winter colony Of Minnesota birds.
there is no more interesting, or really likeable
FELLOW, than the crow. TO Be sure he is the ac-
cused bane of the farmers, and is the target Of
Insult and abuse from legislative edicts, field
iagainafins and guns, but with it all he merits
approval Tor the manner in which he survives
and actually prospers How Minnesota winter
scene would suffer without crow or two Wing
ing their way lazily through the cold, lifelcss
branches of tree tops.
Nature it would seem has provided we'll for
this Bird. He is no ndividuast, except in the
inky blackness of his coat. He-ahas no special
gifts, except common sense. The quail and par
great deal swifter flyers, but even with their
camouhage equipment and their speed they are
no match fof man as Is the crow.
One does not have to pass laws to protect
the crow. He is we'll fitted to look after himself.
he Is one OF the wisest Of birds, because he dis
PLAYS the cooperative instincts. In that he diff
fers from most birds. A flock of crows never
moves about from wheat field to woods without
first posting sentries. Let danger approach in
the form Of man with a gum and you will hear
The cav, caw-caw-caw" from the sentry before
YOU are within 800 yards Of the fock. But let
this sariis man approach with stick in his hand,
and in all probability the crows will pay no
more attention to him than if he were sparrow
In Knowing when man has gun and when
he has not. the crow shows his practcability.
He relies, not alone on the eyes and ears of
himself, but on such equipment of the Whole
flock. To catch him off guard means that you
must catch all his nearby fellows likewise off
guard, which is the exception
Even in his tnlidity, the crow is just the or
binary fellow" says Samuel A. Dereux, IF he
doesn't understand anything he will leave it
alone. He's not venturesome scatterbrain.
What lies beyond his experience he's suspicious
or"
In brdology the crow would seem to point
the truth of the adage i'll two heads are better
than one. He has been legisated against and
hunted for years by man, yet with it all, his
numbers have increased and he has prospered.
He is credit to common sense and the prac-

Eufope's Lad il Aviation,

There are said to be twenty -one aviation COM
ranies operating in the middle west, but as yet
aerial transportation has not made the progress
that il has shown in Europe. Greater facilities
are to be available this year than last, according
to arrangements made this spring by the Inter-
national Air Traffic association in The Hague
This meeting agreed upon The following services
Tor the season from April to September:
London Amsterdam Bremen Hamburg
Copenhagen. -,
London Amsterdam Bremen Hamburg

London Brussels -DofthAund- Berlin.
London Paris Lyons Genevl,

Paris Strasbourg Prague -Warssw-Vicnna
Budapest Bucharest>C Constantinople.
Konigsberg Moscow-communicating with
the railroad services between Berlin and
Kehigsberg.
These passenger airplanes are To Be equipped
with motor muA1ers; larger craft will carry a
pilot and an assistant pilot, and machines on
flights Of more than four hourswill be equipped
with lavatories. The main parts Of all these ma
chimes will be made interchangeable. In many
instances the companies operating them arc con-
tracting to carry mail as we'll as passengers.
Now that the FIRST flush Of enthusiasm over
the possibilities opened up by mans conquest
Of the air IS done, Americans will be fairly cor-
tent to watch these experiments abroad before
committing themselves to general policy. Ne
braska has forty-seven landing fields all ready
for the reception Of aviators, who are making
considerable use Of the aifplans for both busi-
ness and pleasure.

Likewise with tho heart. Much Of

Evidence Of heart trouble may de-

PREACHER EXPLAINS
 THE WANTS OF LABOR

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 20.--"An educated laboring class will not be denied" declared Rev. Ava w. Tay- Tor, secretary of the Board of Tenn perance and Social Welfare, Church of Christ, in an address here on What Labor Wants" He said the labor questions of today are largely due to the free education of the children of laborers.
 Labor wants what the middle class has," continued Rev. MT. Taylor. Labor wants security in employment, adequate leisure and a normal home.
 Without adequate income none of the good things of life are possible.
 Tt has been said that capital takes the chances. Labor takes chances on bread and butter. In normal year 6,000,000 wage earners are out of work one month, or more, one-half of them from one to three months and one third from one to six months. Accord ing to Governornment reports, in the great basic industries, the average loss of employment is 25 per cent of the time.
 "A movement now is on to put working hours back to those of decade ago. Without leisure the alien worker cannot be Americanized and no wage earner has opportunity for education, recreation, character build ing, love of home, of the good and beautiful.
 Many children are in industry in stead of in school and thus are de- prived of an equal chance at life with the children of the middle class. At present virtually one-fourth of all our American women are engaged in gain ful occupation"

DETROIT, June 22. - John Duval Dodge, young Detroit millionaire, who has managed to crowd more trouble into short six months than the aver age man experiences in a lifetime, is done" For year at least any visit Mir Voistead's agents may pay ysanz Dodge will be purely social and not on the line of duty-the enforcement of the prohibition law. He is through with liquor and the gay life.
 So declares the son of the late John F. Dodge, auto king, in announcing his plans for the future, after a series of escapades that have kept his name almost constantly on the front page"
 ''Im through with liquor," says the young Detroiter, who has been re- ferred to as "Detroit's million-dollar coal heaver." Dodge was dubbed 'De- troit's million-dollar coal heaver" sev- eral months ago while serving a five days sentence in the Detroit House of Correction for speeding"
 For months Dodge was a frequent visitor" in Michigan courts, where he faced charges ranging from ille- gally parking his car to illegal pos session and transportation of liquor, on which charge he was convicted, fined $1,000, placed on strict proba- tion for a year and ordered to go to work

DODGE LOST $12,5oo


 And because the "bones" were "cold" for young Dodge one hot day in June, 1920, he soon will be in court again. this time the defendant in a suit for an alleged gambling debt amounting to $10000. The game was played in a Hamtramck saloon, the young millionaire losing S12,500. some of it at $1,0OO a shot, if is alleged.
 The action was brought against Dodge and Al Day, boxing referee, by Mic Frank.
 Frank alleges Dodge lost the money to Day. The referee in turn gave Frank a check for $10,000, signed by Dodge, in payment for stock in the Frank Products Company, it is al legged.
 When Frank presented the check at the bank he found payment on it had been stopped, he asserts. The stories told by Dodge and Day vary. Listen to Dodge, who charges he was framed"
 "There were three men in the room where the game took place." Dodge relates. "We had some drinks, and the game started. There was only $l0 in money in the game, and when this was gone began writing checks. We shot away the $2,5oO first. I wanted to quit, then, but drinks were brought and the others jeered me so I stayed in.
 "Then we began to throw for S1,OOO each time. After losing the additional $1O,OOO I quit"
 CLAIMS HE WAS "FRAMED"
 Dodge charges the game was "framed" for the purpose of shaking him down" and says that dice belong ing to Day were used in the game, while Day asserts that the game was on the square and that Dodge lost the money with his own dice, pair or gold ones. Lay says lhe'I uoi AiAS 'AO game he begged Dodge frequently to stop.
 q lost $500 and then quit because that was all I could afford to lose," the boxing referee relates. But a crowd that had gathered jeered and urged sto shoot up to $2,500. l won the s2,5OO."
 Day claims he wanted to stop then, but that Dodge called him a quitter and insisted the game proceed.
 In the future Young Dodge will walk the straight and narrow" He is going to work.
 For one thing I'm through with drink for a year." says the young De- troiter. 'I've had enough trouble about it. I'm done. Pm going to do some useful work-Just what it will be do not know. However, I have
