Imagination.
When Winter is dreary the world seems
a-weary;
You long for the summertime glow.
And yet when you get it you're bound
to regret it,
And wish you were shoveling snow.
When August is distant your thoughts
are persistent
On roses that gracefully grow.
And yet when you gather the blossoms,
you'd rather
Be of somewhere shoveling snow.
Round present possessions rise gloomy
impressions,
While things we have not make a
show.
In Winter we gayly do gardening daily;
In Summer we're shoveling snow.

ga Man i'm Cotton Cloth. i"

Students of the evolution of the art
of printing are familiar with the name
of Pi Sheng. He lived in the Ch'ing-h
period of Chinese history, approximately
nine hundred years ago and is described
in the annals of that time as "a man in
cotton CLOTH" by which is meant "a man
of the people" But an arbitrary class
impediment did not restrain his genius.
On the contrary, it is fair to assume
that it served to provide an opportunity
for the exercise of his natural talents.
In any event, he achieved Immortality
by the invention Of movable type and
thus was the forerunner of Lourens
Janszoon Coster of Harlem and Johann
Gutenberg of Strasbourg and Mainz.
The step, of course, was an obvious
advance in the development of graphic
reproduction. Once o single symbol had
been prepared, an unlimited number of
others would be indicated and the trick

A correspondent wants to know where
in lies the duty to keep up bird feeding.
once it is begun in the home back yard.
You say that it becomes s. duty to
keep 1t up after beginning" writes he,
"but I do not see why. If one Is kind
to the birds for few weeks or during
very cold weather. why is 1t wrong to
stop?"
This is not a sentimental proposition,
but very practical one.
II the householder begins feeding birds
in a serious way, especially by the erec-
ton of one or more feeders affixed to
trees or at the window sill, he attracts
many which otherwise would not Winter
here.
If there is any reason for migration 1t
lies in the question of food supply.
Such birds as ordinarily would fly
South may remain if they find what
impresses them as a good, and especially
steady, supply of suitable foods.
Among these birds are several Of the
better known songsters. People who put
out food consistently have them all Win
ter long, whereas those who do not feed
them do not have them. This is one
reason for the disputes you sometimes
hear about which birds Winter in this
vicinity. Those who do not see certain
birds in their own yards tend to believe,
and naturally enough, that nobody else
sees them at this time Of year.
1t can be understood that 1t must "let
down" a SongSter terribly once it has
decided to say with us, to find its SEEM
ingly magic supply Of food suddenly dis
appear as if it had never been. And it
cannot find food on belated migration.
This is what one means by speaking Of
duty in this connection.

Feeding the birds is the best way to
put the garden to use during Winter
Who that enjoys the flowers and the
grass of the outdoor living room" has
not at some time or other lamented the
sad state of negligence which overtakes
the average yard? Even children do not
like to play in yards. They prefer the
streets.
Almost every yard, even the big ones,
takes on the appearance of the famous
deserted village. But this need not be so.
A bird feeder or two and persistence in
keeping the food supply running and
the feathered guests will come by the
score.
Their happy flying about, now into the
trees, then into the shrubs, then TO the
feeders, will give an interest and anima-
ton to the old back yard which few per-
sons who have not tried it would believe
possible.
Surely this is the one best way to use
a garden in Winter.
Even the person who hitherto has
accepted the songSters without much
thought will find them an altogether
unsuSpected source Of interest. One need
not be an ornithologist or even amateur
bird lover, but simply an ordinary house
holder. one interested in many things,
most of them of more moment than birds,
perhaps.
Yet in time little fellows OF the air,
and the plain problems which they bring
up in their daily life in the yard, are
found to add immeasurably to life. This
is something which must be experienced
to be appreciated.
The garden, instead of being mostly
waste space for four months, becomes a

of arranging and rearranging them would
follow. Yet Pi Sheng is entitled to credit
for his comprehension of the problem.
He was the first to understand what was
wanted and how 1t might be supplied.
The original record says: "He took sticky
clay and cut in it characters as thin as
the edges of a cash. Each character
formed, as it were, single type. He
baked them in the fire to make them
hard. He had previously prepared an
iron plate and he had covered this plate
with a mixture of pine resin, wax and
paper ashes. When he wished to print
he took an iron frame and set it on the
iron plate. In this he placed the type,
set close together. When the frame was
full the whole made one solid block Of
type. He then placed it near the fire to
warm it. When the paste at the back
was slightly melted he took a perfectly
smooth board and rubbed over the sur
face, so that the block of type became as
even as a milestone. If one were to
print only two or three copies, this
method would be neither convenient nor
quick. But for printing hundreds or
thousands of copies it was divinely quick
1t certainly need not be argued that
none but man whose spirit, as Shakes
peare declared Of the dyer, was imbued
in what he worked in could have devised
such a technique. Probably long and
close acquaintance with his craft was Pi
Sheng's mental capital in the circum-
stances. He had gone to school" to his
trade, its materials, its instruments, its
formulas. Hence, he was psychologically
equipped for the miracle he Was to ac-
complish, the victory he was 20 win.
Just now the world is suffering from
economic dislocation and literally mill
lions of workers of the cotton cloth class
are idle. The tragedy of their plight is
unquestioned and undenied. But pos
sibly it affords chance for at least a
few individuals to emulate the great in
ventorS of the past. Enforced leisure,
1t may be, will be used to advantage by
some modern Pi Sheng. There are a
hundred fields of human enterprise in
which creative progress still is needed

Tyranny That Abides.

one hunQreQ ana SlxUy-GWO years dso
today there was staged, of the bleak
coast of New England, the most pic
turesque political protest in American
history-the Boston Tea Party. The
anniversary of that colorful and effec-
tive remonStrance against taxation with
out representation comes at an eSpe-
cially timely moment to remind the
Nation that the iniquity against which
the Massachusetts colonists rebelled still
finds its counterpart on this soil. The
disfranchised District of Columbia is an
abiding symbol of the fact that the in
Justice of 1773 persists, to the detriment
of half a million liberty-loving, law
abiding citizens of the Union.
It is appropriate to draw renewed at
tention to that anomaly on this Boston
Tea Party day, because once again the
American people stand at the threshold
of a quadrennial election for the presi-
dency and the vice presidency of the
United States and of a biennial election
of members of Congress. Once again
the hearts of the residents of the States
are stirred by those emotions that never
fail to stimulate the patriotic spirit OF
freemen as they contemplate the price
less privilege of deciding who shall pre-
side over their national destinieS. once
again the politically disabled inhabitants
of the District of Columbia, alone among
the country's millions, are condemned
to the humiliating role of helpless by
ISLANDERS as their. more fortunate fellow
Americans proceed to avail themselves
of the sacred right of self-determinatlon.
In these days of dictatorship across
the seas the boon of suffrage looms more
gloriously than ever as the inestlmable
possession of a people indiSsolubly we'd
ded to the ideals Of democracy. 10
deprive Washingtonians of the vote-of
voice in making the laws which they
must obey and in levying the taxes which
they must PAYS violation OF the
fundamental principles of democracy. 1t
is complete negation Of what has come
to be known as AmericaniSm. The ma
tional campaign of 1886, in which the
constitutional rights of citizens against
unwarranted encroachment are destined
conspicuously to be discussed and de-
Tended, is a peculiarly proper occasion
on which to ponder over the unrighteouS
position which the people of the District
of Columbia occupy in the American
scheme of government.
They seek nothing unreasonable. They
want their own spokesmen with voting
power in House and Senate. They ask
the vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent. They desire access to the Federal
courts, an opportunity not denied to
taxpayers of the States or even to aliens
They crave only square deal-for relief
from ignoninious discrimination that is
wholly unreasonable and thoroughly un-
American.
Taxation without representation is
tyranny in 1895 every whit as much as
1t was in 1773. The District Of Column

awaits hopefully the day when it will

pie of the United States will permit the

waste at any time Of year.

Thus in very real sense the installa-
ton of even one feeding station gives
the garden back to the gardener.
To those who have not tried it we give
this advice, that they try 1t, but at the
same time let them be fully aware that
there is a duty attached to it.
And problems.
Squirrels in the suburban districts
constitute the major problemsl
The householder who puts up bird
feeder shortly discovers that what he
really has installed is a squirrel cafe
terra.
While these fellows do not keep the
birds away, by any means, they do ham,
per their style considerably and do man
age to get the hogs share of the mixed
seeds and grains which comprise most
wild-bird foods.
A squirrel will take his position in
the feeder and remain there, shoveling
around in the seed for half an hour, or
even an hour, without once getting out.
Even when he finally has enough, his
place may be taken by another, who en-
sconceS himself for a similar length of
time. And so on.
1t is fortunate for the birds of this
vicinity that there are few red squirrels
hereaboutS. These are the active enc
mics of birds. The gray ones, which
abound in the District and nearby terri
tory, are more miSchevious than harmful.
In studying the birds which Winter
here the gardener will find many in
triguing names.
Even the common names Of flowers, as
delightful as they are, scarce equal those
of the birds.
Consider "chickadee," for example.
1t is a word prettier to say than to
look at, but delightful either way.
What correspondence it has with the
little creature it describes!
Those who lament the absence OF
chickadees from the Winter scene in
their own gardens will do well to put
up small feeder.
If they are fortunate and live some
where near WOODS they will find these
feathered charmers among the first vis-
itorS, along with the nuthatches, with
whom they pal" and several Of the
woOdpeckerS. which seem to have high
friends.
A chickadee is a bird which grows on
you. The homesteader who has not had
much acquaintance with them will not
regard them highly at first and may be
inclined to think the slate -colored juncoS
superior and more beautiful birds, but
after he has watched the chickadees for
time he probably will revise his esti-
mates.
There is something about chickadee
which wins the hearts Of all. Probably
it has aerial 'it," but whatever it is, this
little bird has it.
If a feeding station attracted none
other than the chickadee it would be
more than worth while, but since it
brings a host of birds, including the
bushy-tailed bird" the gray squirrel,
the feeder is soon a real center of in
terest, and small everyday problems
which. connected both with the great
indoors and the great outdoors, play
their part in making this better world.

Strange Medley.

ASO NAOuICys
Love is a medley Of emotion:
First we know
Joy, ecstasy and glad devotion;
Then swift tears flow.
1t is goad, an aspiration;
We would be
Godlike, divine, a revelation
And yet break free.
Love fills us with tempestuous anger,
Stings our pride
And suddenly its softening languor
Sweeps ire aside.
1t is a wild, insistent outbreak
1t is peace.
Thru mirth and rhapsody and heart.
