This morning l was awakened before. daylight by a bird. am In Washington at present and hear q variety of birds we do not see at home.
 l now know tho sweet whistle of tho cardinal, the liquid versatility of the mocking bird, tho thrush's song, and the haunting melody of other winged creatures that I know by sight, but, alas. cannot name!
 This bird. however, did not know by sight, nnme or song and 1t was far beyond anything l had ever heard for thrill. have been all morning trying 1t identify him. I still hear him performing somo- whore. l had thought there was nothing lovelior than tho oriole. This was still iovelier. An angel crying over the sins of the world and calling encouragement.
 We lived in q real city house when I was a little girl. BirdB in my small world consisted of spar. rows and an occasional robin. Nothing else ever visited the two sumacs that struggled through the brick pavement in front or nested in the sad old poplar in the back yard.

 It's Bird Month
 Spring is here. Juno IS bEd month--May and June. Many var- ieties do not come north until May, tho warblers and vireos for in. stance, and the orioles.
 By July these little folk (do birds have souls?) will be off to the deep forests to keep cool. They won't be around suburbs and ace cessible woods as they are now.
 It Is time to make their ac. Quaintnncc. (There! hear q "teacher" bird this minute. Or is 1t . cheewink7) I think the chil- dren would love to go bird visiting.
 You have laid forty cents on the table for Bob and Betty to go to the movies. Why not ask them some fine Saturday if they would Do willing to spend 1t in carfare Instead. And you go along. 4 little picnic lunch would be nice.
 Out of town for tho day to sit under the trees in some auiet place and watch the birds.
 Of course there must be no climbing around nests. A well behaved audience never disturbs the actors. And let mo beg that you won't say ycs to their plea to "just break or few blossoms to take home" They will be dead bee fore you get thero and it means fewer next year.
 think the children will second your idea at once. It Is q great thing to be able to "appreciate' |anything and to appreciate Nature is the greatest sift in the world.

Not q natural nasal tone but n forced one. Ruth knew instinct lively that he wasn't using his own voice. That was disguised as much as his face behind the mask.
 All right, search then, If 1t Will make you feel any better" Ruth answered. Look in the dressing table and the wardrobe but you won't find it in either place. Look under the rug and in my pocketbook and downstairs. There Is . silver teapot in thos dining room. That is good place to store money"

 Tho man began his search. Ruth saw that he was upsetting the con tents of.ths dressing table drawers. Pulling garments from the shelves in tho wardrobe. Letting dresses and coats fall In q colored heap on the floor.
 Not very particular how you handle them, aren't you" she asked. Her fear was curiously gone. "f'm not so keen about pressing clothes. Please pick them up."

POONA, India, Sept. 24.-Leaders of the caste Hindus and Untouch- ables, striving for three days on a compromise plan on the electoral question to halt the death fast of Mahatma Gandhi, are reported to have reached an agreement.
 The agreement followed anxious hours when rift split the nego- tiators.
 Gandhi's physicians pronounced the Mahatma's condition as ex- tremely grave.

Economic Effects of ReuOlt
 h Brasil Unusually Tense

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 24.- Brazil's prolonged civil war has been accompanied by wider econo- |mic qualifications than would be likely in any international conflict in South America, excluding Ar gentina.
 Sac Pablo's 100000 people. more than the population of Chile or Peru-in revolt furnished the Provisional Government a tough financial problem. With more than 100000 men under arms on both sides, war expenditures have been running into millions.
 With little gold in the country, paper currency, and each promptly repudiated the others action.
 Duration of the effects of the entire affair on business and ex- change remains to be seen. With Sac Paulo isolated, it's exports halted, the principal source of for eign money to meet oohgatlons abroad was stopped.
 Each week of the revolution and Santos blockade meant that 100000 sacks of Sac Paulo's coffee nor mally exported remained at home. This intensified the problem of the Paulista surplus, principal bugaboo in the way of eliminating tre- mendous carry Lover.

 Long known as a man of action rather than talk, General Rodriguez assumes the Presidency at 43 with an impressive military record, built up by his campaigning against such insurgents as Huerta, Villa, Zapata and Escobar.
 But it is on the civil side of the ledger, perhaps, rather than the military that his record stands out boldest.
