BUILDING BIRD HOUSES

A well-built bird house should be
durable, rainproof, cool, and easily
accessible for cleaning. Don't use
metal unless coated with aluminium
paint within, as it will make the
house too hot. Sawmill waste Trough
slabs with the bark ont furnishes
cheap, satisfactory material for rus
tic houses. For wood, an easily
workable variety such as cypress
pine or yellow poplar, is preferable.
Cypress is the most durable of these.
Paint improves the weathering quail
ity. Martin house sand others that
ara placed in exposed situations may
be- painted white to reflect heat.
Make the roof with pitch enough to
shed rain readily. or, if level, cut a
groove across the under face of the
overhanging part. Slanting the OPP
ening of the nest cavity helps to
keep out water. One or two small
auger holes through the walls near
the top improve the ventilation; or
a double roof or compartment above
the nest makes a good insulator. En-
frances to bird houses are usually
placed near the top, and roughening,
growing, or cleating the inner side
of the lumber will help young birds
to climb to the opening. 1t is better
to place the houses on poles than
on trees. Have the nests fairly low
an daw&y from dense woods.

THE HALLS OF MONTEzUMA

Investigations made by members
of the marine corps indicate that
the melody of "The Marines Hymn
popularity known as "The Halls Ol
MOntezuma," was borrowed from an
old comic Operetta entitled Gene
We've de Brabant" and composed by
jacques Offenbach QS19-1S80, a
naturalized French citizen of Ger
man birth.
"Genevieve de Brabant" was first
presented at the Theater de BOuffles
Parisiens in Paris on November 10,
1853, and that part of the melody
which is supposed to have sug-
gested "The Marines Hymn" occurs
as a duet rendered by two cOmedi-
ans. Although the melody is not in
exactly the same form, it is unr
dOubtedly the air from which that
of "The Marines Hymn" was taken.
One critic suggested that the melody
used by Offenbach may have been
adopted from that of an old Spanish
folk song.
The first verse of the words of the
marine song is of unknown author
ship. This is the verse which con-
tains the celebrated line, Prom the
halls of Montezuma to the shores of
TripOli," which commentaries the
raising of the American flag in 1S47
over the ancient palace of Montezu-
ma in Mexico City and the part play
ed by the United States marines
more than 40 years earlier in the
war with the Barbary states on the
northern coast of Africa.
The words were popular in the
marine corps already i'll the time
of the Civil war. Two more recent
verses were written and added to
the song by Colonel II. c. Davis of
the marine corps. The present
authorized version, copyrighted by
the marine corps in 1929, is as fol-
lows
From the Halls of Montezuma to
the shores of TripOli;
We fight our country's battles
on the land as on the sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
and to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of
United States Marine.
Our flags unfurl'd to every breeze
from dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every cline and
place where we could take
gun;
III the snow of the far off northern
land and in sunny trOpic scenes;
You will find us always on the
iob-United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our
Corps which we are proud to
serve;
In many a strife we've fought for
life and never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy ever look
on Heavens scenes;
They will find the streets are
guarded by United States /
Marines.

CAN YOUR CHILD
DRAW PICTURES!

Parents who are wondering
whether they ought to encourage
their boys and girls to study art
will be interested in recent sur

marks therefore, have the emphasis

! Art in America has long since
graduated from the garrett" he de-
clared in radio speech broadcast
by the Armstrong Quakers over
nation wide chain. 1T is an honOred
profession whose rewards are as
substantial as those in any other
calling. While the ranks are crowd
ed and the competition is keen.
there is still plenty of room at the
top"
I'm tho field of magazine illustrat-
ing, America leads the world.
American illustration has been dis
tinguishcd by a great number of ex-
ceptionally able men, beginning
with Edwin Abbey and Howard
Pyle, whose influence upon the art
has been permanent and powerful.
Some of the best illustrators
come to the front from the gruelling
school of newspaper illustration,
which gives the artist an eye for
situation and character and train
ing i'm observation of essentials.
The matter of getting art work
done on time is one of the most i'm
pOrtant lessons which the aspiring
young illustrator must learn, Mr.
Quinan urges. Being late is an al
most ieXcusablo fault to an art edi-
tor. for his life is continually being
made miserable by that CHASTITY in
strument of precision, the printing
press, which runs on schedule ex-
actly like a railroad train.
Mr.. Quinan fills one of the most
important positions in the art world,
and his advice to young artists has
far greater practical Importance
than the merely theoretical speech
of professors and teachers. AS art
editor for great magazine group,
he is the man who selected the
covers, who plans the illustrations
that will answer the question
what does the hero look like?" He
must be an artist himself, and fur
thermore must be thoroughly fa-
miliar with the technical processes
of. printing and engraving. Az copy
of his radio address should be in
the hands of every aspiring young
ster who hopes to make living

IMMUNIZE PIGS PROMPTLY
In CHOLERA TERRITORY

In communities where hog cholera
existed during the winter, particu-
larly in the North, says a statement
from the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, United States Department of
Agriculture, hogs that died from the
disease very likely were left Un-
buried, perhaps covered with snow
Frozen ground makes it a difficult
task to bury these Carcasses, and
owners sometimes defer this work
till the snow has melted and the
frost is out of the ground. In the
meantime, new litters farrowed on
the premises, as well as other sus-
ceptible hogs brought in from out
side sources, are in danger of TAX
ing cholera from the infection thus
scattered.
All susceptible swine on such
premises should be immunied. There
is always a possibility of infection
being present in hidden places to
which cholera-sick hogs have had
access, thus constituting source of
danger, even after the dead hogs
have been properly disposed of. In
short, where hOg-cholera infection
is known to exist, the Federal spe-
cialists say, prompt attention should
be given to the immunization of the
herd. 1t is not always safe to rely
on ability to keep hogs away from
places where infection may lurk.
Once the serum and virus used in
cholera have been prop
erly administered, the owner may
rest assured that his hogs are i'm
mune and will not contract the dis
ease.
