Mr.. Kellogg's Peace Prize.

II was almost a foregone conclusion
that the Nobel peace prize for 1929
would go to Ne statesman whose name
will forever be linked with the OUT
standing international achievement Of
that year. Frank B. Kellogg. then
American Secretary Of State, was not
the author Of the Gen raj Pact for Re-
nunciation Of War. History wiz accord
that distinction TO Aristide BRAND. The
French foreign minister, indeed, may
even assign actual priority Of origin, Is
far as the "outlawry Of war" Is con-
cerned. to Salmon o. Leyinson Of Chi
cago, who projected the idea In 1927.
But 1t fell TO the lot Of Secretary KEEL
logg to lead the world out Of the maze
Of academic discussion OF the plan Ito
renounce war as an instrument Of ma
tional policy and give 1t form and sub
stance. Nowhere will resentment be
felt that the Nobel Committee on
Awards has fixed upon Mr.. Kellogg as
the one most worthy OF the peace prize
for 1929
Now that the anti-war statute has
been written into international law by
over half hundred governments, there
Is no harm In recalling that mere than
once it threatened to be scoffed out OF
existence. 1t was against world sat
urated with skepticism that Secretary
Kellogg had to tilt. Enthusiasm for the
pact was lukewarm in many countries
It's doom was prophesied almost oftener
than its naturalization. The chief Of

Birds Get Sanctuaries
On MANY Golf Courses

From the Oakland Tribune.
Golf courses are to see more brides"
than usual If the plans Of the National
Association of Audubon Societies are
accepted. The average golf course Is
admirably adapted as a sanctuary for
birds. In no case would the man who
concentrates upon putt, short approach
or drive consider allowing a gunshot
within hearing. There is an exclusive
ness and quiet about the fairways which
Is in itself an invitation to feathered
visitors, and generally there are plenty
Of trees and Shrubbery
The Audubon Societies have APP
preached $50 golf clubs with their idea,
and have already received favorable re-
plies from lis. While "a have said that
without the invitation the work had
been undertaken. Birds soon learn
where sanctuarieS exist. Perhaps in
time they will learn to dodge and rec
ognize golf balls and not be afraid of
the eXaSperated who beats the grass as
he searches on the rough.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Echo From the Past.

ECHO from the Past.
The movies give us old-time plays
And stars who work in old-time ways.
The good old plots still make a hit
That were set forth by the "legit"
In 'palmy days" and you may hear
The good old tunes still echoing clear.
Although little bit revised.
With ease they may be recognized.
And now the movie actors bring
A cry that made the welkin ring
In days that now so distant seem,
With mergers" but hazy dream.
The player folk draw bravely nigh,
Down with the Trusts" Is what they
cry.

April Construction Permits
Are Highest for Any
Month This Year.

The construction volume in April was
the highest for any month of this year
so far, the estimated cost of projects for
which permits we're issued totaling $4,
778,720. This brought the cost of all
projects started during the first four
months of the year to $13,259, 100.
Should this record be maintained
during the remaining eight months of
1880 the year will have a total of more
than $50 ,000,0 900, or more than the 1929
volume.
The total cost of operations approved
during the first four months of this
year, however, was about 100000 less
than the total for the corresponding Pc

Plans were approved last month for
