mont, having as its purpose the
protection of quail.
These birds are Of incalculable
value to farmers. Their ration
consists of weed seeds, insects.
grain from the stubble and wild
fruits. For economic reasons alone
their protection would be of I'M
doubted benefit.
But there are good sentimental
reasons for their inclusion in the
song bird list. Not only their eco
nomic value, but their appearance,
presence and clear, stacato whistle
adds much to the typically sylvan
aspect Of farm, and that is as
necessary as the satisfaction of our
practical views of the farm.
Their humiliation would leave
a silence and void in the coun-
tryside impossible Of replace
ment, of satisfactory substitution.
What lover Of nature, what feel
ing man, can behold these plump
little birds, running along hedge,
or perched on fence posts, emit
ting their periodic, trenchant
whistle, without hoping that they
always will be so, rather than to
see them mangIed and destroyed
with high-powered guns Of
"sportsmen,' just for the pleasure
such as one gets out Of it, and to
add tasteful morsels to their fes-
tai board.
Farmers readily should make
their voices heard, which can be
most easily and effectively done
by sending line to their repre-
sentatives and senators.

Editor Times-Indiana has the
opportunity during the present
session of the legislature to enter
the ranks Of states having old age
pension laws. removing the stigma
Of unfolding the inhuman poor
house, which in 1881 cost the
states taxpayers 81 399,375.
Besides being wholly out Of date
ad wasteful Of tax money, the
poorhouse is an affront to every
person of decent instincts. The
picture is not pleasant to contem-
plate that able-bodied, sane old
men and women are housed close
ly with those classed by the board
Of state charities as insane,
epileptic. paralytic and crippled,
deaf, blind, senile, and sick.
Further, the board report shows
only one in ten poorhouse inmates
is sound in mind and body, despite
the fact that poorhouses lack per-
sonnet and equipment to give
proper care to the unfortmates
forming the bulk Of their popula-
ton.
Seventeen states have old age
pension laws, due largely to efforts
Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles,
which in 1921 enlisted in the
cause of obtaining decent, Chris

First, the farm act: 1t Is based on
the fact that the purchasing power OF
nearly half our population depends on
ADEQUATE prices for farm products. We
have been producing more Of some

LAKEHURST, N. j., April II
NN.SD.-The first day of the
Akron investigation is over and
brought out as evidence the testi-
mony of the only officer who
survived the crash of the Akron.
Listening, as an observer, know
ing the intensity of the happen
ings yelling over Commander
Wiley's head on that fateful
Monday, April 3, have to admire
the clearneSS of his observations
and the undoubted sincerity Of his
emotions, especially when he
speaks of his shipmates, the per-
eShed members of his crew.
Few New Sidelights
The testimony, carried on very
elowly and deliberately under
ever-unfolding questions, brought
not much more to our knowledge
than was known through Wiley's
official report to the Secretary Of
the Navy.
But off and on under the
strain of questioning and the
intense working of Wiley's brain
in trying to remember, to syn
chronize happenings, to exhaust
last bits of observation in his
memory, a few new sidelights
were brought out, significant per-
haps only to few trained air.
men.
One thing seemed to me clear:
Here is one witness who does not
intend to hold back any relevant
information. His very slowness
and hesitation is not an indica-
ton Of guarding what he is say
ing, but the struggle to dissent
nate the crowded observations in
his memory as the questioning
goes further on.
AirshipS Not Dead
Everybody gets the feeling
through the rather dry proceed
ings that here is man who loves
his airships in spite of what has
happened and is making every
effort to discover the causes of
the disaster. so that the country
will not lose faith in the future
of the airships, by being told
that the airship is continually in
danger of mysterious air condi-
tiOnS or acts of God.
Another impression which got
as that We will get a real and
plausible explanation that every
body can understand. Now that
seems to me about all for today
that matters.
The airship in this country is
not dead, will never die, as long as
men will be able to speak out. We
can naturally, just as well as in
Germany, make a success of
them, and we will, too.
