/ The players should be given a definite
time in which to hunt the birds,
which should be concealed as much
as possible, and collect them and a
prize be given the person who sue
ceeds in getting the largest unmber.
| A porcelain bird, such as may be
found in china departments in stores
is particularly appropriate for such
a prize.
Cherry Branches.
Nothing is more appropriate or
pictorial than cherry branches for
decoration. These are so easily and
quickly fashioned that no hostess need
hesitate to make them. All that is
needed are bare branches and twigs
of trees and tissue paper. Cut circles
about the size of 50-cent pieces from
pink tissue paper (use several shades)
and gather them from the center with
the fingers Put "a dab of paste or
glue on the center tip and stick to
the branch. As cherry blossoms pre-
cede leaves. no green is needed,
though a few tips of green tissue
paper may be stuck on the twigs also.
Put these twigs in vases on mantels.
and also distribute them about rooms.
Stick some of the twigs in holder
set in a low bowl in the center of
the refreshment table. Tiny bios
soming twigs may be scattered over
the table and be presented to guests
as favors.
Refreshments.
While adults. unlike children, do
not feel that the refreshments con-
stitute a party" yet the guests do
feel d certain interest in what is to
be served them, and it is perfectly
sure that a hostess has more than
casual concern in the preparation.
The menu given today is tempting.
Cherry Tree Menu.
Chicken and Cherry Salad.
Cherry Branch Sandwiches.
Olives Salted Nuts
Cherry Bough Ice Cream
Cakes Bonbons
Coffee
Chicken and Cherry Salad
Place slice of buttered bread Cor
toasD on lettuce leaves. Lay a slice
of chicken Cor roast veaD on it and
dot with mayonnaise. Arrange a few
whole Cranberries selected from cram
berry sauce on top of the mayon-
naise, and put a little of the cram
berry sauce about the slice of bread. \
The cranberries simulate cherries and
the green OF the lettuce indicates
cherry foliage. This is very tempt
ing salad. Since there is bread in
cluded no other is needed In fact,
if a lighter menu is wanted than the
entire one given, the cherry branch
sandwiches may be omitted, though
they are delicious with this salad.
Cherry Branch Sandwiches.
Cut fresh Boston brown bread into
thin slices while warm. Spread with
cream cheese and roll to resemble
logs of wood. Dip wooden toothpicks
into liquid cocoa to make them the
color of bark and stick one end in
maraschino or Candied cherry and
the other in the sandwich to keep il
from unrolling. These sandwiches
make good replicas of miniature
cherry branches with the fruit on
twigs.
Cherry Bough lee Cream.
a rounded narrow slice of chocolate
ice cream forms the bough. Slivers
cut from pistachio ice cream, or aft
er-dinner coffeespoonfuls of the
cream form foliage. These Leaves"
must touch the "bough." Dot with
three candied or maraschino cherries.
The ice cream, cake, bonbons and
candy would be sufficient for an in
formal evening or afternoon party,
while the entire menu makes a dainty
luncheon menu. 1t will be seen that
the menu can be adapted to suit
occasions.

Helium for Airships
 Better Than Oxygen

Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb. 13.-Ad- miral William A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, spoke on the development of aviation in the United States and on the work of his department for the past seven years at the dinner of the Waterbury sec ton of the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers here last night. Experiemnts with lighter than air will soon solve the air problems, the admiral said. Bureau experimental ton with helium to replace the dan- gerous hydrogen have proved suc- cessful as demonstrated in the case of the Shenandoah, although the ef- ficiency of the ship is impaired somewhat by the use of this material Further experimentation during the next few years will in all probability improve the work of the ships using helium so as to make them the quickest, safest and most satisfactory of ocean travelling vehicles.

SPRING FLOOD SIX
 WEEKS TOO EARLY
Unprecedented Warm Weather Breaks up Ice and Causes Floods

Boston, Feb. 13.-Rain yesterday after week of record breaking warm weather in New England, started freshets racing six weeks ahead of season, tore down bridges and dams, disrupted telephone. tele- graph, rail and highway communi- cation In many sections, piled up huge ice jams and flooded several towns and cities.
 Reports from Colebrook. N. H., grew increasingly ominous until tele- phone service was suspended last evening. Early this morning the serv- ice had not been resumed. At Mont pelier, Vt, boilers in two business blocks blew up when flood waters entered the basements. Three men were slightly injured.
 All down the Connecticut valley came reports of threatening condi- tions. The Ice was reported breaking up in the tributaries of the Merri- mack and the water had risen sharp ly in that stream, but no damage had been reported along its banks.
 The colder weather which set in last night was expected to save the situation, but the floods are expect ed to continue through today, so swollen are all the streams that flood the rivers

WOOL SHORTAGE
Dearth of Supplies in England and Association Will Reduce Offerings 50 Per Cent from 23rd.

London, Feb. 13.-The dearth of wool supplies here is serious, and the difficulty was increased yester- day by receipt of a telegram from the national council of wool brokers in Melbourne to the London Wool Merchants association, saying it had been decided to reduce the offerings i50 per cent from February 23.
 The Daily Mail quotes a leading London dealer as saying that British manufacturers are unable to pay the high prices demanded, and that at the January sales there was what amounted to a buyers strike. The manufacturers now are working on diminishing stocks, and when these are exhausted must pay whatever the growers demand.
 Prices in 1924 steadily increased, the advance varying from 35 to 57 per cent. An Australian clip of D. O00,000 bales fetched before the war f26,000, ,000. The growers expect to obtain nearly f7O,OO0,00O in 1925.

The national socialist party, rep resenting the extreme reactionary element in Germany, suffered badly in the last preliminary elections, in December. Its losses were particu- larly conspicuous in Bavaria, where, purporting to emulate the Italian Fascist, 1t had conducted a stren- uous monarchistic campaign. One ,ebullitlon of this was the so-called Ludendorff- Hitter ''putsch" of No vember 1923, in which armed forces were used in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Bavarian govern ment and install a military dictator ship over all Germany.

dition there are, perhaps, 5000
others who attended the university,
and hundreds of others who finish
