Our Birds in Verse
By Henry Oldys
NUTHATCH.

When winters SHOWS knee deep are spread
Upon the forest floor
And snug within the silent bed
Lies most of Natures store,
AS, staff in hand. wander round,
To read from winters page,
So blank is it, each sight sound
Full notice doth engage.
'Tis then hear muffed note,
On penny trumpet own,
A blast both present and remote,
nasal queruous tone.
"Hanh-hanhl" 'Tis surely from the oak
"Hanh-hanhw Nay from the beech.
II is as though some impsh cloak
Were hanging over speech.
Or does the frugal little wretch,
The author of the note,
Carry the nut he's said to hatch
Half-buried in his throat? :
See there he goes along the limb,
Marking zgzag line,
That erstwhe keeps the upper rim,
Then round and round doth twine.
Now up, now down. and now pause,
With backthrown head to glance
Abroad, to guard from hostile claws
Or other foul mschance,
Anon he darts into the air,
Full thirty feet his flight
To seIze an insect unaware.
That huttered on his sight.
Ah, sturdy one! Were all like thee,
As ardent and discreet
1mprovdence and penury
Would soon be obsolete.

delighted in doing. How he did wish
that one would. SO that he might go

man-bird. Yet all the time down in
his heart there was little doubt.
Yes, sir. there was a little doubt. He
didn't want TO admit il to himself,
but he was just a wee bit afraid of
those man-birds.
But this didn't keep him from
boast!ng. that If ever he had the
cnance he would show that he cou d

The family name of Willard is
almost a straight development from
an ancient Teutonic given name
which was not at all uncommon
among the Anglo-Saxons OF ancient
England
The ancient Teutons were auits
fond OF names indicating strong and
sturdy character, as Is evidenced by
the great number of their given
names In which "wil" appears. This
word was also the source Of our
modern English noun will" Will
lard" meant sturdy will"
A fair proportion Of the Saxon
given names survived the period fol-
lowing the Norman conquest, during

THE COAL REPORT.

The preliminary report of the
United States Coal Commission say,
that the President should have the
power to declare an emergency II
operations In the anthracite mines
are stopped because OF strikes oil
other reason, and to take charge OF
the mines, fix wages and owners
compensation, and distribute the coal
as he thinks best--this all to be sub
ject to revision by the courts.
This would sound radical were II
not for the fact that the commission
is opposed to government ownership.
This is the way the matter will
stand until September p when a
final report will be made, but 1t
serves notice on owners and operators
of mines and to labor that special
legislation will be recommended in
September This should suggest to
such people, owners, operators and
workers, that such suggested legisla-
ton will be as drastic as the then
conditions warrant. If things are
pretty bad, the report will take a de-
cided stand. If operators are not
fair with workmen and do not con-
slider miners just demands, the
screws will be put on the operators
If miners demand too much, the sug-
gested legislation will attempt to curb
them. At least this is the way 1t Is
to be hoped the report will look at
the matter.
The report just made. however,
makes one point plain. The consum-
ers of anthracite coal are to be con-
sidered first of all. Coal is neces-
sity for millions of people and is
therefore affected by public interest
Owners, operators and miners must
deal with the coal problem as though
It were what it is-a matter concern
ing the general welfare OF the Amer
can people. If they will not treat
coal in this way voluntarily, they will
De compelled to do so. And If oper-
ators do not combine to guarantee a
standard quality of anthracite for the
Congress probably will be
lsked to appoint inspectors.
The tone of the preliminary report
S pleasing to the consumer. If the
inal report carries out this impress
ion it would seem that the commits
ion will have justified itself. Coal
men and miners will watch their step.

ever done that sort Of work ourselves
or are engaged in it at the moment

stenographer. receive such large sum-
with so little apparent exertion
Many of them spend but a couple oil
hours in their offices each day
"Cinch! what do they do TO earn
their money!"
Thus, at times. the poor rich man
becomes the under dog. He is
is abused-and yet he keeps on draw
ing his salary. But he cannot fail to
be affected, If he is sensitive at all,
by the feeling he knows others have
for him, especially the so called
working man" who, incidentally. is
far less apt to be brought to an early
grave because of his work than is
the wealthy worker.
In view of this situation it is inter-
esting to note that many companies
have shown they feel that the death
of some of these highly paid men
would result in great financial loss to
tHost COMPANIES. IL pToteCt 'thchh-
selves against such losses they have
insured the lives Of many of these
men who draw tremendous salaries.
In some cases their worth to the
company has been rated at more
than million dollars. Baseball play
crs have been thus rated, although
not so highly. The point of the mat
ter is that these men are paid such
sums because they work and earn
them and their death would bring
severe financial loss to the companies
which pay these great salaries And
of course the companies pay high
premiums to the insurance organiza-
tons because the latter demand such |
high premiums. But this very fact |
adds emphasis to the significance of |
the value placed on such men by |
those they serve and those who pay
their huge salaries.

voLsTEAD PREsCRIBEs.

The Volstead law undertook to tell
Just how much liquor a sick person
ought to have, or at least to put a
limit on the amount a doctor should
prescribe. The sick man could not
have more than pint every ten days,
no matter what his doctor thought he
needed. Well sensible Judge de-
cided that If liquor was medicine
as Volstead evidently believed it was
because he had allowed certain
amount of it, then no layman should
be allowed to tell doctor how much
of that medicine he should prescribe.
Now comes another sensible judge
who says that limiting the number of
liquor prescription blanks a doctor
may have to 100 every three months
is just the same as telling doctor
how many patients he may have.
Again the Vostead law undertook to
tell a physician he could not get
more than a certain amount of a GER
tain medicine, no matter how many
of his patients needed it. These
statutory provisions to restrain the
judgement of physicians in the exer-
else of power to prescribe alcohol,
which deprive the physicians and
patients of liberty without due pro-
cess of law within the meaning of
the Fifth Amendment, are unconsti-
tutional," declares this federal judge.
Whether or not this ruling is sus-
tanned, it ought to be. If a certain
thing is admitted to be medicine
it is medicine all the time. The dose
from the second pint may be far
more necessary than that taken from
the first pint and it may complete
the treatment started in good faith.
Our members of Congress are Won
derful men, of course, but we have |
not heard that they are wonderful |
physicians and that their judgement
is better than that of the men who
are making a life study OF how to
cure the ills of the flesh. Any per-
son, ardent advocate of prohibition
though he may be, will agree to this
statement if anaticism does not
possess him.

LIGHT COURTESY.

1t is pleasant to drive car along
car, and see the lights of that car
speak word of courtesy by dimming
their brilliance. 1t really happens
occasionally, and one hastens to re-
turn the greeting by dimming ones
own lights. Or perhaps you have
been the first to dim your lights and
the answer from the oncoming driver
is quick and cordial. You know,
when you meet car whose driver
dims his lights, that he is a driver
of experience who recognizes the need
of such consideration for others.
On the other hand a driver of a
car often passes on entirely Obvious
apparently. of the fact that his lights
are binding you as you try 10 drive
on safely You may dim your lights
all you will but he refuses to
acknowledge your act. You know
then that you are meeting a car
driven either by an ignorant novice
who does not know he should dim his
lights, or by novice who is so busy
steering his car he cannot risk NOV
ing a hand to do the decent and right
thing, or by someone entirely regard
less of the rights of others.
IL is a peculiar fact that more
drivers of c.esoe ears than of open
