DuQOy was always interested IN the
birds from the day when he watched
a meadowlark soar and made up this
little song:
away up high,
In the sky,
Flies bird"
Mrs. Sandusky saw to it that very
early he knew the common birds at
sight, and later on some of the rarer
ones. She also taught him to recog-
nize few of the migratory birds,
seen only in spring and fall.
He watched the robins pick up
worms and insects from the lawn. He
watched the birdbath at noon, when
pair of orioles usually took their
splash, and at sundown, when many of
the other songsters seemed to prefer
to bathe, and he saw birds waiting
quietly on the clothes line, ready to
take their turn.
"They are very polite" he once, told
his mother. At another time he said
"They seem like friends to each other
like Bob is to me. He waits while
have my BATH"
"The birds are friends to each
other" his mother answered, "and they
are also friends to boys and girls and
men and women. They do friendly
things. Watch them and see what
they do to help"
The town in which this family lives
has many beautiful walnut trees. In
midsummer, that year, the tent worms
began to hatch upon the tender leaves
near the ends of the limbs, and tc
eat the leaves. 1t was not very long
before every walnut tree was becoming
bare, and Buddy felt much disturbed
about it.
He asked his mother if anything
could be done to destroy the tent
worms, but she told him that the trees
were too high, and there were toe
many of them, and not even workmer
from the city with their special ap.
paratus could reach and burn all the
tents.
So she and Buddy agreed, that since
they could not help what the worms
were doing, they would look at the
other trees every day where no tent
worms had yet settled.
Then one day in July, came a few
moments Of hard rain, and then a hall
hour of bright sunshine, and follow
ing that, into the town flew hundred:
and thousands of swamp blackbirds
They streamed over the town from
the north, they chartered and chirpee
and sang, they circled the tall trees
Buddy called his mother and to-
gether they watched the. thousands o1
jabbering birds settle into the trees
The birds fell upon the tent worms
they gobbled them up, and when hall
hour later they went away, there wa:
scarcely one tent, worm left on any
walnut tree.
Buddy said, Mother, l wondered
how birds could be friends to people
but now | have seen it and l know i
for myself"
Mother said, "Seeing for yourself
is the best way to learn anything
Now let US watch our trees and SCI
for ourselves if the little leaves come
out again on the bare limbs"
And they did watch them, and aftel
a week or two, there were leave!
again.

Warehouse Union Wins
Contract In St. Paul

St. Paul, MINI. (AFLWNS).-Fol-
lowing eight weeks of negotiations, an
agreement was finalized between A.
F. of L. Warehouse Employees Local
No. 2O297 and the G. Sommers &
Company. The determination of the
company to insist on a wage reduction
and general change in hours nearly
resulted in strike, which the agree
ment averted. The contract recognizes
the A. F. of L. Union as the sole bar
gaining agency for all the employees
of the plant who come under the
unions jurisdiction.
Ray F. Wentz, representing the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor
and William F. Wright, representing

Washington WPA Affirrns
Right To Join Unions

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).-
The Works Progress Administration
of the District Of Columbia is the
latest government agency to promul-
gate a personnel policy affirming the
right of employees to join unions and
select Representatives to handle dis
putes. The Department Of Agricul-
ture, following consultations with the
American Federation of Government
Employees, recently adopted similar
policy. The Social Security Board has
also taken action in this direction.
The first paragraph Of the program
made public by the District of Colum-
I bia WPA reads as follows:
"This administration recognizes the
right of its employees to affiliate
themselves with a labor union and Sc
lect representatives Of their own
choice without fear of interference,
coercion, or restraint upon the part
/ of any administrative officer or pro-
ject supervisor or any representative
thereof"

in other words Debating policies"
Milo 4. Mannio, Finnish Govern
ment delegate, called attention to the
fact that Finland was one of the few
countries, which, during the recent
depression, used public works as al
most the sole means of combating un-
employment.

pictured is in Pocahontas County at
q place called Mill Point, where
Sewell, one of the founders of Mar
linton, first camped in 1850. Here
in l774 was built Fort Day to pro-
tect the settlers from raiding In

creation of the prints Of the 18th and
early 18th centuries, which constitute
unique chapter in the history Of
the graphic arts.
In the present day when the incli-
nation is to disregard the value of
discipline and to accept as authorita-
tive careless craftsmanship and
brushwork, it is of utmost impor-
tance to have brought before the
public, through exhibition and pub
lication, works of such technical, as
well as artistic excellence as the f1ow-
er prints of the 18th and early 10th
centuries. Why have they lived;
why are they still esteemed: why is
their reproduction heralded today
as an event Of note in the artistic
world? 1t is because they are well
done.
Finally. after paying full tribute to
Mr. Dunthorne for the harvest gar
nered through his scholarly research,
now made available to all, and in
fullest appreciation of the enthu-
siasm with which he presents his
subject as well as his wise selection
of illustration, recognition must be
given to the book Gust from the
press), as work of art in the mat
ter of Typography and printing. The
choice of type. the design of the
pages, and the composition of the
book, as whole, are so superior that
they place it in q class by itself,

There are more than twice as many
prints included in this exhibition IS
is customary, but with excellent
reason, for M. Missonne is one of the
outstanding photo-pictorialists of
Europe, and the opportunity to see
his work here is exceptional. He is
one of those who use the camera as
a medium Of artistic expression,
choosing his subjects we'll and utiliz-
ing to the best purpose effects of
light and atmospheric illusions. Even
when the theme Transcribed is not
beautiful in itself, he manifests po-
tential beauty by setting 1t forth
under the most auspicious condi-
tions.
The majority of his subjects are
Of the city or country; streets,
buildings, country roads and lanes,
farmsteads, peasant homes, occa-
sionally great houses and magnifi-
cent cathedrals; but 1t is not the
subject matter, picturesque as it
may be, which gives these prints
distinction but their manner of in
terpretation-the power they exert
to open ones eyes to the beauty with
which even the humblest is sur
rounded. In some instances M.
Missonne has found 1t in strange
places-muddy roads, wet streets
but even these charm and appeal
by the way the light strikes upon

5000 identifications Of flower and
fruit prints of the period dealt with.
Not only does this constitute IN
invaluable and heretofore nom
existent source Of information on
flower and fruit prints, but it is
a superb collection of the best work
produced during the 100 years when
such were in high favor. OF the
rs full-page reproductions, 81 are
In color and A in black and white.
These reproductions have been made
by the "Deep-tone" offset htho-
graphic process employed by the
Lakeside Press Of Chicago, famous
for its printing, binding, engraving
and lthographic work; and to art
lovers and especially lovers OF
prints-the triumphant result Of
the experiments in this field, as set
forth In this volume, cannot fail
to give great satisfaction, for up
to the present time color printing
in this country has been greatly
inferior to that done abroad.
The history of flower and fruit
prlnCS mas dual interest, Witnessing
to the relation of art to contem-
porary life and to the influence upon
art of the fashion of the day in
which 1t is given expression. A
newly awakened interest in garden
ing in England induced the making
of flower and fruit prints of rather
botanical character. and demands
for these prints encouraged print
makers from France and Germany
to take up their residence in Eng
land, by which fortunate circum-
stance expert technicians became
available for the advancement of the
art. The Dutch flower painting,
elaborate in composition and re-
markably true in rendition, was
translated by the French into paint
ings of a purely decorative character.
The influence of both Is to be found
in early flower prints, especially
those produced in France by the
then new graphic processes. The
English love for the literal banished
these tendencies and led to the

fine quality, sensitively interpreta-
tive, but never overstepping the
power Of the medium employed.
With the greatly increased use Of

of something for which since the
days Of the cave dwellers mankind
has reached out. Whether or not
one likes the works by the 'Twen-
tieth Century French Masteres" Is
a matter of self-determination, but
what they stand for and the in
fiuence they exert is Of universal
importance and may well be pom
dered.. It is not an exhibition to be
seen lightly and forgotten.

cent gifts of God to man. His pic
lures are almost always sunny and
warm, also richly colorful. so that
even when the subject itself Is SIM

pleasing. In the current exhibition,
