Many Counts

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. T.
(UP).-Delivering a blistering at
tack against the Revolutionary"
program of the New Deal, Balm
bridge Colby, secretary of state
under Woodrow Wilson, last night
called upon the voters of Maine
to demonstrate their dissatisfac-
ton with the Roosevelt admins
tration and its policies.
Colby arraigned the admins
tration on almost every count,
and declared that 1--WE are fed I'M

of Tugwell, and his fellow brain
trusters, and latterly with the
pandering demagogy which flows

The $50 persons who listened
to Colby at Portland city hall did
not compose a demonstrative au-
dience. There was moderate ap-
plause for the speaker immediate
" before and after his one-hour
address, but little if any hand
clapping was interjected in the
pauses of the speech.
"On what field" he demanded,
"and in which arena can America

bruised, betrayed and hideously
menaced, confront its false sons
and beat them back-exposed, re-
futed and disgraced!
"Why, it is in congress, and IN

as congress proved itself IN the
last session"

First Broadside Fired in
Attempt to Swing Reg

By LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. -
CUP. The Republican-Demo-
cratic American Liberty league
which presents Al Smith as its
outstanding member last night
fired its first campaign broadside
in a battle to swing the new
deal to the right.
The league announced its pur-
pose to persuade voters in every
congressional district to elect
candidates pledged, regardless of
party, to carry out league prin-
ciples. Jouett Shouse, crowded
out of the Democratic party or
.ganization by Roosevelt forces,
spoke for the league in his ca
pacity as president.
The league is an organization
of property owners pledged to
defend the constitution and OPP
pose radicalism. President Roose-
Welt accepted the leagues ap-
pearance as a challenge to the
new deal program. Many per-
sons believe the league is step
toward relignment of nolitical
parties.
"The American Liberty league
is a movement which will not be
stilled by the wise-cracks of pol
iticians and artisan or eplthets
from those who are unfamiliar
with the depth of conviction and
soiemnity of purpose which are
the heart and soul of a militant
cause" Shouse said.

rights. 1t hit at both the Hoover
and Roosevelt administrations
complaining that government has

the pIea of national emergency.
Shouse's statements specifically
denied the Liberty league was
either for or against the new
deal. -,
Replying to Mr.. Roosevelt's
criticism that the league had ig-
nored human rights-"the lea

Shouse said the organization had
no responsibility for formulating
a program to coordinate human
and property rights.
Human rights and property
rights are sinseparsble," Shouse
said in announcing an impending
national educational campaign
designed to elect a league-minn

There is no more agreeable

of the song of a German
roller are supposed to be the
variety of his rolls, running
from soprano to the deep alto.
No one wants a yelling ca

Varied Diet
There is great variety in
the green foods which a ca
nary may have. Included in
this group are sweet apple,
chickweed, watercress. young
dandelion shoots, green grass
with roots and loan, and ripe
marigold flowers.
The canary should have his
cup filled with fresh birdSeed
every morning when the cage
is cleaned-and greens should
be offered for his delectation
about twice a week.
But if you are planning on
purchasing one. the thing to
do is discuss all the pros and
cons of caring for the bird

Birds make very gay little

where space is too limited to

Canary Is Ideal
As a Bird
Pet
BY LIZ HUME

A canary Is the popular
favorite of all pet birds. But
no one should attempt to keep
canaries unless he loves them,
for the attention and care they
require are a nuisance and a
trial to anyone who is not
fond of them.
Being bred in captivity, the
canary is the most suitable of
any for a cage pet. In keeping
a canary, you do not feel that
you are depriving a free crea-
ture of its liberty, for the do
mestic canary has never been
used to freedom and if set
free would not know what to
do or even how to find its
own food.
Tame and Friendly
Almost any canary will be-
come tame and friendly with
proper care, but in buying a
canary choose young one as it
is more easily tanned and learns
more rapidly to know and trust
you than does an older bird
that has perhaps passed through
several hands.
A bird should never be hung
in the window, on account Of
the draught. Which reminds
me of the fate of a canary
which I owned a number of
years ago. He was hanging
peacefully in the window on a
hot summer night-safe and
sound, 1 thought, in the quiet
of Old Georgetown.
But a young owl sneaked
in at night and stole the
bird away, right out of his
cage-leaving q few yellow
