"Oh, boy, look at all these seeds, and
don't have to fly all over Montgomery
County to find them"
So said the song sparrow, as he alighted
on the new feeder on the south side Of q
locust tree.
II he didn't say exactly those words we
feel sure he should, and would, If he
could have talked.
Being a true sparrow, he managed to
get the lions share that first day, in COM
petition with juncos, nuthatches, cardi-
nails and bluejays.
1t was an interesting experiment for
the householder, as well as for his
feathered wild friends.
He had never put up bird feeder be-
fore.
No doubt there are vastly more garden
ers who have not done this than have.
Many take the attitude that the starlings
will get all the food anyway, in the long
run, so why feed them?
For the present there are no starlings,
so the smaller birds are getting the full
use of the new feeder.
It was interesting to watch their ten
tative approaches to the device, which
was placed about six feet high on the
south side of the trunk, or rather to one
side so that the guests would be protect
ed both from north winds and most OF
the west wind.
Those who put it up were rather skep-
tical.
Surely the birds would not visit it.
The mixed seeds, however, had a very
tempting. nut-like smell.
There were sunfiower seeds and many
another which the bird lovers could not
identify, but which the birds could.
The birds knew.
The feeder was put up about O'CLOCK
Saturday afternoon.
Not bird showed up. 1t was late and
cold and there were no birds.
Although this was the territory which
a famous bird census showed has more
songsters than any other place in the
country. there was none at all in evidence
that day.
Just as I thought" said the pessimistic
householder to himself.
OF course, he told himself, he had not
expected the thing to work.
So he was not disappointed.
On being reminded that birds had mys-
teriouSly disappeared from the entire
neighborhood for the day, he admitted
that tomorrow might show results.
1t was a bright though cold, Sunday.
The temperature i'll the suburbs regis
tered a low Of 20 degrees.
The leaves of the rhododendrons were
curled up tight, in order to conserve their
warmth.
Usually they tighten up at about 25
degrees, and lower, extending themselves
again at 80 degrees and higher.
No thermometer can do much better
than the rhodes on these particular
temperatures.
Those unacquainted with the rhodo-
dendron might think their leaves ruined
forever. but it is just way they have.
Let the day get little warmer as it
usually does. they uncurl promptly and
raise themselves to the near horizontal
again.
The first bird to spot" the feeder was
a junco, or Snowbird.
1t was exactly 11:l0 m. that he few
onto the rim Of the feeding platform.

Each separate unit must be subordinate
to the law of unified action. 1t applies
to society as well as to a mechanism.
In nature the crystal is the perfect ex-
ample Of unity and efficiency. A we'll
planned and ordered structure is stronger
and more eficient than one that Is strong
only in its several parts or elements.
This giant steamship was out of tune.
There was too much power somewhere,
lack of perfect timing between vibra-
tions. The ships chord" was not quite
true, with a discordant overtone that set
up protest throughout the metallic
organism. II now the four giant wheels
that churn the water and drive the ship
can be brought to perfect unison OF ac-
ton and their joint vibration comedies
with that of the ships structure, all will
be well. The case illustrated the fact
that there is more in the magnification
of seagoing units than the mere enlarge
ment Of scale.

THANKSGIVING.

With the whole world rife with war
and woe, it may be wondered whether
or not any living soul has cause for
Thanksgiving. But moments ref1ec-
tion prompts the thought that, despite
the universal currency of trouble, there
still is much for which men, women and
little children should be grateful.
Especially in America, cause for ma
tional rejoicing abounds. Perhaps no
where else in all the earth are indi-
viduals so free. BY grace of the genius
and foresight of the founders of the Re-
public the institutions of organized lib
erty which they established nearly GEN.
tury and half ago still stand. Thus it
happens that no hereditary deSpot rules
the United States no ariStocracy of vest
ed privilege letards the march of prog
ress in the land symbolized by the Stars
and Stripes. Also, because of the same
endowment of Socialized independence, no
presumptuouS dictator commands the
masses hither and yon in obedience to
temperamental whim. The rest of the
planet may be plagued and tortured by
tyrantS but democracy continues to pre-
vail among the spiritual descendants of
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin.
Let there be no mistake about it, the
American people are in debt to God for
the right which they possess to govern
themselves! No student of the history
of Western civilization can fail to see
the Divine hand in the text of the
Declaration and the Constitution. Only
agents inspired by providential idealism
and sanity could have produced those
noble charters of emancipation. Such
truths are not begotten of accident or
compromise. On the contrary, they are
the fruits of character. They come into
being by processes of pain and sacrifice;
they survive through the attraction
which they have for millions gifted with
the wit to appreciate and serve them.
And in the combination of self-control
and responsibility may be found Ameri-
ca s strength to rise above the universal
turmoil of the present and to win the
unguesSed triumphs of the future. The
struggle, certainly, may be hard: the
burden heavy, but the goal must be
worthy of the striving. Surely the AL
mighty Father of Mankind is not Sar-
donically experimenting. Rather, He is
teaching His new Western race the les
sons of experience without which they
would blunder and fail Let the path be
long, then; let it be however steep. Zion,
the city of brotherhood and love, rises at
the end of the road.
For the privilege of living and striv-
ing, if for nothing else, the Nation today
should be grateful. In an era OF war
it has peace, and in an era of poverty
it has relative prosperity. But most i'm
portant of all, it has freedom to decide
its own destiny and obligation to choose
the good, the true and the humane part.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

Chain-Charity.
The boy said he was hungry. The jurist
took time
To point out an eating place where for
dime
He could get beef stew; then gave him
a bill
And watched him go on with hearty
good will.
Cap acock, the lad staggered by the
cafe.
The Judge sauntered, watchful, along
the same way;
Should access of riches induce youth
downhil
He'd relieve the young fist of charity bill.
The youth, in park where benches were
cold,
Bestowed the greenback on man grown
old.
Chain giving" he laughed. And the
judge passing by,
Turned back-for the lad had wet,
hungry eye.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Holiday Petition.
A slight request of Santa Claus
Is all that I am making
To bring contentment when I pause
To give the tree shaking.
AS crop production we renew
In conscientious wonder,
Let snow be all that comes to view
That needs to be plowed under.
Bring oranges just as of yore
And do not coldly fiout us.
But think a little while before
You scatter bombs about US.

Kansas is going into the election
campaign next year in a big way. Not
only does the Sunflower State choose all
of its House delegation, but also
Senator and Governor. Senator Capper
is up for denomination and reelection.
Capper has been the greatest vote-getter
the State has produced. His presence on
the Republican ticket next year makes
it increasingly difficult for the Democratic
nominee for President to carry the State.
After serving two terms as Governor,
Capper was elected to the Senate first
in 1918. That he will be reelected again
seems entirely certain. He keeps in close
touch with his people. Since Congress
closed he has visited more than half
the counties Of the State, and by the
first Of the year he will have covered
every section.

From modern modes of living?

PRISON QUIZ BARES
SECRET BUR|ALS
Graves of Alleged Victims
of Discipline Will Be
Visited by Probers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., March IA
legislative investigating committee last
night had before it evidence that North
Carolina prison camp officials had
made a practice of secret burials for
friendless victims of their disciplinary
practices.
Meanwhile. authorities moved to re-
wise the prison discipline system.
Withholding the identity OF their
informant, a former convict who is
still under suspended sentence, men,
bers of the committee last night were
unanimous in their determination to
visit the scenes of lonely graves de-
scribed by him.
The committee was told that when
beatings, chained suspensions and
other forms of punishment proved
fatal, bodies of the victims were carted
to lonely mountain spot and buried
over in official reports.
Offers to Point Out Graves.
The informant was quoted as claim
ing to have been himself member of
such burial parties, and he offered to
lead the committee in its quest.
The committee received the startling
testimony near what it had expected
would be the end of an investigation
into practices in Mecklenburg County
which were alleged to have resulted
in the death of two prisoners and the
loss of both feet by two others.
Testimony regarding hitherto un-
mentioned brutalities at the Henry
Little Convict Camp near here was
produced earlier in the day as the
committee began its study of prison
discipline conditions.
Official Reports Discredited.
Started mainly as an investigation
of why it was necessary to amputate
the feet of two colored convicts after
they had been chained in solitary
confinement at the camp, the legis-
lators already had heard evidence dis
crediting official reports on the death
of colored inmate and attributing it
to his having been suspended in
chains for long period.
A second death was brought into
the record of the investigation by
testimony of Manley Swaringen, for
mer convict at the camp, who said a
colored man named Carter. who has
not yet been fully identified, died at
the county home in 1927, after re-
ceiving weekly beatings at the camp
over period of three months.
