Birds

Twenty countries on five conti-
nents have joined forces for the pro-
lection of many species of bird life,
some of the European nations that
formerly offered little or no protec-
ton to mans feathered friends TAX
ing leading part in this movement
According to a report Of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon 6ocie-
ties, Italy of all the countries con-
cerned has shown the greatest change
Of attitude, and from a nation Of un-
restricted bird slaughter few years
ago it has come to be one which has
framed protective laws that are mod
els of efficiency.
Practically all of the countries in
volved have not only passed laws pro-
tecting the most important native
bird species but have gone a step far
ther in establishing bird sanctuaries
we'll distributed throughout migratory
flight lanes.
Progress has been gratifying but
there still remains considerable to be
accomplished before our bird allies
are given the full protection neces-
sary for the protection of bird and
plant life and for the comfort and
happiness Of humanity. Too much
protection cannot be given the birds,
especially those beautiful of song and
plumage and useful as destroyers Of
noxious weeds and injurious insects.
While hunting, land reclamation
and deforestation decimated bird
life in the United States, the former
is now aiding to restore it by fur
nishing, through hunting license fees,
the money used for bird sanctuaries
and for bird protection. The sports
man, although he still brings back
his limited bag Of pheasant, quail,
duck or other game, is making retri-
button.

Writing to Criminals

One Of the oldest American Gus
toms is the widespread habit of writ
ing letters to men who are accused
of crimes.
West Virgin!a's "Bluebeard" has
been deluged with letters from total
strangers ever since his arrest. The
Philadelphia youth who shot his sis
ter's lover has been getting eight OF
10 letters q day. Capone receives
scores Of them. The only criminal
who gets no fan mail is the one who
has had no newspaper publicity at all
It is an odd business. Why do peo-
pie write such letters? What is there
in human nature that makes any man
held for murder the object OF so much
frantic scrivening? It would take al
extremely wise psychologist-or, per.
haps, a psychiatrist-to read the rid.
die.

Records in the Bible and histories
of epidemics indicate that there was
q time when leprosy was among the
most feared Of all epidemics. To-day
it is unimportant as q cause Of either
sickness or death In tho United States.
In 1926 only one person under - years
Of age died from this disease in this
country, and in 1927 and IN 1924 no
one under 20 years Of age died Of 1ep-
rosy. Nevertheless, q considerable
number Of cases may be found in any
great population, and there are con-
stantly from 400 to 500 persons with
leprosy in the federal leprosarium In
Louisiana.
In other parts Of the world cases
are more frequent than in this ooun-
try. This applies particularly to Ha.
wall and the oriental countries.

Leprosy Is caused by Z germ which
gets into the body BY being carried
from one person to another, either IN
soiled articles or possibly BY flies Or
other insects. Men are affected about
twice As often aS women. When 1ep-
rosy develops, it attacks the skin ana
the nervous system particularly, and
produces serious ulcers and paralysis.
Nowadays this condition Is con-
trolled by immediate and complete

Education a Menace?

A new slant on the possible effects
Of universal education was furnished
the other day by DR.. Robert A. Mill
kan. famous scientist. in an address
at Hendrix college, in Arkansas.
Dr.. Millikan was sounding q warn
ing that colleges and universities must
not try to educate too many students.
This. he said. is a practice that tax
supported schools are especially apt
to adopt; and he pointed to condi-
tions tn Germany as an example.
In Germany, he said, young men
are crowding into the universities as
never before: and he added:
THE state has made such educa-
ton practically free. The easiest and
cheapest thing to do in q time Of un-
employment is to go to the univer-
sity. The result is that the profes-
sions are being flooded with men for
whom there are no possible Jobs: and
johless, educated men make for social
unrest, for revolutions and for wars. y
The implications OF that remark
arc interesting. Teaching man how
to think. apparently, is fine business
as long as there is something for the
Arla,l TO do with himself: but II YOU

Postal Savings

Congress should grant the request
OF Postmaster General Brown and in

ual depositors in Postal swings banks

The Postal Savings system has
proved success in normal times, a
life-saver In depression days. Be-

the number of depositors increased
from 6,401 to 762,172 and the total
deposits from $175,271 1868 to $345,-
887,460. On October 81 of this year
the deposits were $527,l30,l3O, a gain
Of $l8l .242,67 in three months.
Practically all Of this represents
the savings of those who cannot af-
ford to lose cent. Had it not gone
into the governments postal banks
much Of it would have gone into hid
Ing under mattresses and behind fire
places. Although it may be with
drawn at any time. it earns per cent
interest. computed quarterly. and is
as safe as the government itself.
Opposed at first by the bankers, the
Postal Savings system now is praised
by them. They realize that in times
OF depression this system tends to
keep money in circulation that other
wise would be boarded. The none,
