of the cases chronicled during the past
decade is there the slightest evidence
to suggest that the youngsters who have
slain their companions came by firearms
secretly. Rather, parents commonly are
familiar with the curious psychological
habits of their sons in that regard. It
stands to reason that if small Junior is
"gun crazy" the entire household to
which he belongs will be aware of it.
Blame for tragic errors in the use Of
rifles and revolvers, then, cannot justly
be attributed to the children alone. 1t
must be shared in part-perhaps pre-
dominantly-by the parents who permit
the danger to exist. And the remedy
lies in the education of adults to restrain
juvenile interest in perilous hardware.
1t is all very well to argue that "the
young idea must be taught how to shoot. "
But the youth of the land can wait until
it has sense enough not to try to shoot
foolishly. A boy who would point an
empty" gun at friend is as greatly in
need of correction as one who would play
such a trick with a gun not empty"
The whole fad for firearms is wrong, and
it is the duty of parents to terminate it.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
The morning bird chorus had struck

The morning bird chorus had struck
up at last.
Precisely at $50 o'clock that morning,
with the weather lowering between a
promise of rain and an inclination to be
sunny, the concert began.
Scores of bird voices had been heard
in the neighborhood, but to date they
had not united in that real chorus which
is the joy of every bird lover.
That morning, led by the robins, the
singers began in earnest, all together,
so that their friends knew Spring had
come.
This music will be a daily feature all
Spring and half the Summer, for all
those who find great interests In the
birds.
For all those who do not care Tor
them the birds mean nothing, but one
thing is sure: These people will be
missing something.
They might as well become interested
for when they do they will find a whole
new department of life at their pleas
ure, and the price is free.
Birds are everywhere, and possess SO
many interesting and picturesque traits
that it is impossible for normal human
to fail to find them, once an intellectual
step has been taken in their direction.
X \
One Of the best steps, at this time OF
year, is to begin to listen for the morn
ing chorus.
This indescribable sound blend OF
scores of bird voices, of many species (it
one lives in the suburbs, may not be
liked at first.
Especially the person who has moved
from city to suburban community, and
puts too high a value on sleeping late
may find the chorus real disturbance
at first.
1t is. in truth, veritable clamor, Sc
great is the daily joy of the songsters at
the coming of the light.
Centuries and centuries these feath-
cred fellows have been trying to tell
mankind of the happiness Of natural
living, Of eating pure and Impressed
foods, straight from the hands of Nature
of going to bed early and getting up
early.
Centuries upon centuries mankind has
been agreeing with them, in theory, but
actually living another way.
The birds go right ahead, trying to
tell man what is what.
They are at it these days, pouring out
their songs together, in the morning, at
the first streaks of real daylight.
They proclaim what happiness it is
to be alive just one more day, to see
the light, to breathe the air, to hear
the myriad sounds of life and to feel the
STRINGS Of hunger.
Simple things these, but far more
complex than all the man-discovered
mysteries of the chemical laboratories
Simple things, but infinitely complex.
X
Consider this morning chorus of the
birds, this outpouring of song which,
day by day. will begin earlier and so
earlier, SO that in a month or six weeks
from now it will start at 4:3O am.
Evening star., 1937-03-30

It will be so loud then that many
sleepers will be awakened. Some will
be SO foolish as to proclaim 1t noise, and
nothing more. Others, while admitting
it's charm, will curse it roundly for
awakening them Gas If they could not
go back to sleep againD.
Others, sensible people, will listen with
delight, wondering at the vim and zip
with which these small minstrels OF
the trees manage to manifest their hap
piness.
Surely it is happiness. No one could
read this into their songs, If it were not
there. Perhaps not happiness, as human
beings understand it, but sheer creature
happiness, understood in every feather
and fiber
That is natural happiness, and man.
kind we'll may emulate it, for there are
so many man-made unhappinesses, such
as traffic, war and crime, that mankind
has need of search the natural reser-
voirs, if it would find antidotes.
X Xxx
The birds were the first minstrels. No
doubt it was from them, and especially
from their morning choruses at day
break in Springtime, that early man
learned to make sweet sounds rhyth-
mically.
These first and best musicians are as
ready to delight us today as when the
race was young.
They ask no applause.
We can give them none, for they
would not understand our admiration.
The best admiration we can give them
is to listen to them.
Listening to the early bird chorus is
especially fascinating when the auditor
knows a little about the birds and is
able to tell some of the songs and cries
apart, one from the other.
He need not be an expert.
Even if no song can be checked
against any birds name, still an at
tempt may be made to distinguish one
voice from another. just as one might
do with a chorus of human voices.
Chirp of English sparrows, true mel
ody of the song sparrows, wild MARBLES
of the robins, the nasal shrieks of the
jays
These are only few of the many
voices which may be heard joined to-
gether in the happy tumble of the
chorus at dawn these days.
Soon to it will be added the most
beautiful of songs, that of the wood
thrush, whose speckled breast will be
throbbing in some trees.
After the birds let off steam for 20
to 80 minutes the light grows brighter,
calling each to its proper business of
seeking the days sustenance.
We are all creatures of the same
Cause. 1t is no wonder that man,
listening to the birds. set up a system
of early morning worship. 1t is no
stretch Of word meanings to feel that
the birds, before going about the busi-
ness of the day, send forth songs Of
Thanksgiving, and not just now and
then, but every single day.
And why not?

Super-clean dishes have been made

insoluble bacteria containing film, it
was shown by experiments conducted at

found, by the use of new dish-Wash-

known as sodium metaphosphate.
Dishes washed by the old methods and
the new were placed in an incubator for
two hours, at the end of which the bac-
terra colonies which had developed on
them were counted. These were found
to be much fewer when the sodium
metaphosphate was used. Moreover the
dishes looked cleaner and brighter.
