OFFICIAL APPEALS
FOR SEAL SALE AID
Greater Support of Campaign
Asked by ReicheIderfer
in Radio Talk.

A last-minute plea for greater sup
port Of the Christmas Seal Sale cam
paign Of the Washington tuberculosis
Association was made this morning by
Commissioner Luther H. Reichelderfer
in an address over Station WRC. He
urged his audience not to let down the
bars of community health protection"
The chairman Of the Board Of Dis
trict Commissioners said:
Down through the ages this mes
sage has heralded the Christmas sea-
son-'Peace on Earth, Good Will To-
ward Men,
But I challenge you, can there be
peace on earth in the midst OF world
wide hunger, suffering and unemploy-
ment?
Throughout the Nation today the
Christmas Seal Sale Is drawing to a
close. That campaign conducted by
2.084 tuberculosis associations to finance
the fight against the great white
plague.
Campaign Far Behind.
'All the year around the funds COL
lected from the sale Of penny Christ
mas seals promote q Nationwide pro-
gram Of health protection for you and
me.
They finance free clinics. nursing
service, scientific research in the world S
finest laboratories, and they teach the
tuberculous patient how to get well
To-day that mighty campaign that
has been waged for 25 years is running
far behind in the sale of the penny
Christmas seals.
To-day we cannot let down the bars
of community health protection. Today,
more than ever, after three years of
worldwide unemployment, we must
stand solidly behind the noble band of
men and women who are fighting your
deadly enemy and mine-tuberculos
Contributions Urged.
Tomorrow is Christmas day A day
Of rejoicing for some, day Of sorrow
for others. If on your desk or in your
home there is an envelope OF Christmas
seals, will you not take time to send
your contribution to the tuberculosis
Association, in order that the fight
against this communicable disease may
go on throughout the coming year of
1888?
Your Christmas will be happier, I
am sure, If you have the knowledge
that you have done your small part in
helping to restore some suffering child
to good health and in protecting your
self and your neighbor against tuber-
culoSis."

CHICKEN BONE TAKEN
FROM THROAT OF CHILD
Examination Made by Several Doc.
tors Before Obstruction Was
Located.

A piece of chicken bone about an
inch long was removed from the throat
of 18-month-old Dolores Alpert yester-
day after her mother had refused to be
reassured about the child's condition
and had taken her to several doctors
and two hospitals.
Mrs. Alpert said the child first was
examined in her home at 401 v street
by a private physician, who failed to
locate the obstruction. Meanwhile. the
Fire Rescue Squad was summoned and
Dolores taken to hospital.
There Mrs. Alpert was again assured
that nothing was lodged in Dolores
throat. The mother went with the child
to the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital however, where the obstruc-
ton was finally located and removed.

ground. Near the Laughing Brook the
ferns and brakes grew tall and lush.
Peter liked to sit under them. where he
could peep out and see without being
seen.
He had been sitting there for some
time and now was trying to make up
his mind whether to remain a little
longer or to move on and where to 90
If he did move on. The matter was set
tied for him By the appearance OF Mrs.
Lightfoot the Deer On her way to the
Laughing Brook for drink. She passed
very near Peter but she didn't SEE him.
Peter waited. In a few minutes she
returned.
1T is long. long tine since I have
seen Mrs. Lightfoot" thought Peter.
L wonder where she keeps herself these
days. I haven't seen Lightfoct either.
l suppose he is keeping out OF sight
while he grows new set OF antlsrs.
They ought to be pretty well started by
this time. I wonder If he and Mrs.
Lghtfoot are together now"
Hardly realizing what he was doing
Peter came out from under the ferns
and started after Mrs. Lightfoot. He
didn't hurry. He didn't try to catch up
with her. In fact he tried to keep out
OF her sight and this was not dificult
for she is so very, very much bigger
than Peter that it was easy to keep her
in sight while quite a distance behind
her. She topped on the edge OF a
thicket. twitched her white tail few
times then disappeared in the thicket.
Peter guessed that she was lying down.
He was tempted to go over there and
make q call. but decided that it wouldn t
be exactly polite. 1t would be better to
wait So he crept into the thicket near
est to him. From this he could look
out and watch the thicket where Mrs.
ightfoot was and where he suspected
Lghtfoot himself might be. That was
one reason Peter had decided to wait.
He was afraid that Lightfoot might not
like an unlimited visitor.
AS matter Of fact Lightfoot was far
of in another part Of the Green Forest
and didn't even know where Mrs. Light
foot was nor did she know where he
was. But Peter didn't know this. He
decided to run no risks. He would make
himself comfortable in this thicket and
watch until Mrs. Lightfoot should come
out again.
There were sticks and small logs scat
tered through that thicket. A little way
from him was a small log, or what
looked like one anyway. 1t was point
where the sunlight breaking through
the leaves dappled the ground with lit
tie spots Of light which looked white
It was fairly open thicket. From back
Of that little log Peter could watch that
other thicket. He hoped over and set
tied himself just back Of 1t and pre-
pared to wait.
He had to wait a long time, but
know of no one who can do nothing
better and easier than Peter can, SO he
didn't mind it all. He was, however,
beginning to get a bit sleepy when Mrs
Lightfoot suddenly stepped out of that
other thicket. She stood for few min
utes switching her tail and looking this
way and that way. Then she walked
straight over to the thicket where Peter
was and into it. AS If at a signal that
little log in front of Peter sprang up on
four slim legs and Peter actually turned
q back somersault in his fright and
haste to get away.

Sure enough, a short distance down
the street we come to the small frame
building which gave me shelter when
I was last in Holland, and in the door

A puzzled look comes to the face of

our water birds. Until May 3, 1917, It
Then 1t was discovered by the District
BIRD man, Cooke, down at Dyke. since
then 1t has been seen In Spring a num-
ber of times. But 1t remains chiefly an
Autumnal bird, for what reason am
not sure, but I think it Is inclined in
Spring to proceed up the Mississippi
Valley, gradually extending its range
in q fan shape until, in June. 1t occu-
pies for its breeding range the whole
of Canada from the Rockies to the At
lantic. It attains the Arctic Circle.
In Fall some Of the terms on the right
or Eastern wing Of the fan-that Is to
say, in Nova Scotia and maritime Can
ada-seem to return by the Atlantic
Coast. They are common In New Jersey
In Fall, on the great marshes there,
even frequenting the salt marshes,
though as a rule they stick to fresh
water lakes, Swamps, and millponds
nnd running water.
The least tern is still very rare. The
gull-billed tern is talked about. but
there seems to be no authentic records
of its appearance in the District. The
common tern. Sterna hirundo, is fairly
frequent in Fall and has become even
more frequent in Spring.
Both the black and common terms
make such q short stay with us that
the hunt for them is exciting. Up to
the present think only professional or
nithOlogists have been the first to spot
these birds of passage. Once seen by
these. they could then be pointed out
to the rest of us.
The terms are among the most de-
lightful and poetic Of their class. They
are related on the one hand to the
gulls, on the other to the shearwaters
and petrels, but are more fresh-water
birds than either OF the other sorts.
Their flight Is graceful and powerful,
and they look better and more natural
than gulls do when out of water. They
have none of their clumSineSS.
I think that contrary winds and
storms have something to do with the
abundance of the terms here at certain
times, their migration route being more
confined to the coastal plain marsh
lands as a rule. Storms have often
blown birds to the District when they
were no natural part of the bird fauna
