AGAINST BILL BOARDS
Signs Topic of Motorists on Summer
Trips-Views DISTRACTED.

The erection of bill boards along
highways has been receiving CON
siderable adverse criticism in the
past few years. Especially during
the summer the boards are invari-
ably the topic for discussion on all
motor and train trips.
The structures mar the scenery,
are unsightly and obstruct the view
of railroad crossings are three Of
the major arguments against them.
In some States legislation is being
sought as a means of abolishing the
boards. Twelve of the largest adver-
Using concerns in the United States
have assured prominent womens or
CARNATIONS Of the country that they
will not use bill boards as a means
Of advertising.

Red Cross Detects Tourists
in Free Gas Stunt,

This is the season of migratory
birds, not feathered ones, but the
human kind. Go West, Go West,
their slogan, and they reach the
'acific coast at a very low cost
These modern tourists who wind
their way across the country over
trails established by the covered
wagon, have a very unique way Of
travelling at very little expense.
Posing sometimes as World War
veterans they will apply at the Red
Cross chapter in the town in which
they stop over and ask for money
TO purchase enough gasoline to take
them TO the next town, where rela-
tiVes live
A first the Red Cross workers be
lieved these tales and was willing to
aid i'm getting the party to the end
Of their journey. But it was only a
hoax. When the tourists reached the
next town they would again apply
at the Red Cross headquarters again
for gasoline money to take them TO
the next town. and so on until they
have bridged the continent.

The season for holding public
sales is now here. If you are con-
sidering holding a sale this month
your first thought should be to get
a crowd to the sale.
In order to get a large gathering
Of persons it is necessary to put
your sale advertisements before
a large number of persons.
For years THE SMYRNA TIMES
has made a speciality of public
sale advertising in season, with
the result that THE TIMES has
become the public sale advertis-
ing medium of upper Kent and

TEACHING PARROTS TO "TALK"
Skill and Patience Required to Turn
Out Birds That Can Be Sold
to Advantage.

There are quite number OF people
who make living by teaching par
rots to talk. 1t is a task that requires
patience and skill.
Each bird is put in a cage by him
self and covered with bag, which
prevents the parrot from seeing out
and at the same time admits sufficient
light. Then the 'schoolmaster" stands
in front of the cages, and says what
he wants the birds to learn. The words
are repeated once a minute.
Sometimes this repetition goes on
for several hours before the pupil
begins to do anything else but scream,
but at last he begins to mur1nur the
words.
As soon. as one bird can say the
words without a mistake the masters
work is done, for the pupil will soon
teach the words to all the other occu-
pants of the room. They are left in
the covered cages for day, and at the
end of that time every parrot wiz
know the words thoroughly.
Then the creatures have to be taught
when to say the words. Let us sup
pose that the lesson was Come and
kiss me-" The bags are lifted off the
cages by number of pretty girls
They are the first people the parrots
see, and consequently each bird con-
meets the words with a pretty girl, and
ever afterWard uses the sentence in
this connection.

SNAKES IN QUEENSLAND BUSH
Residents Set Traps for Unpleasant
lntruders, and Lure Them to
Their Death.

Women in Queensland" says Miss
Puxley, young English woman, au.
thor of "Nanderings in the Queens.
land Bush,' "often set traps fer
snakes which have entered houses, in.
the shape Of frog left hopping about
or saucer full of poisoned milk.
Both of these are sure draws, the
snakes being killed while resting after
the meal" She then tells the story Of
a friend of hers, who was standing in
the doorway IF her house when a
snake, having seen a saucer of milk
just behind her, pushed past her to
reach this dainty. She quickly closed
the door when it was halfway
! through, and so broke its back. This
was one of the deadly black snakes
OF Queensland. Another bit of in
formation about snakes, which Miss
Puxley gives, is the fact that because
OF the angle at which certain
snakes teeth are set it is impossible
for him to stop swallowing anything
once he has really begun. So it hap
pens that two snakes, which may have
started out on a killing In a spirit
OF camaraderie, may each begin
swallowing at one end of their prey,
but when they have reached the mid.
die there is nothing to do except to
continue, and the snake with the
largest mouth is forced to include his
less fortunate companion of the
chase In his meal.
