Vaccination Theory Fixes
Blame for All Disease.
To the Editor of TIL

Several days ago you published letter
in which the writer suggested a cause
and-effect relationship between vaccina-
ton and cancer. A few days later an
other correspondent cited two cases Of
cancer in persons who had previously
been vaccinated. He evidently regarded
these cases as evidence tending to con-
firm the theory advanced by the former
writer.
BY the same type Of evidence it fol-
lows that rheumatism, toothache and
corns are due to vaccination, since doubt
less many victims Of these diseases have
been vaccinated. In fact, nearly every
body in the United States has been vac
cinated; whatever diseases we have,
therefore, must have been caused by
vaccination. 1t is but step to the in
evitable conclusion: Abolish vaccination
and you abolish all disease, that is, all
except perhaps smallpox which is the
only disease those who have been vac
cinated never have. M.

"Dear Sir:
Il know how much you love birds from
your articles in The Star, 80 1 feel sure
you will be glad to solve my bird problem
II you can.
"A week or more ago my cat caught
q beautiful little bird. I got It away
from her. It lay In my hand and looked
up IN my face. and then up at the blue
SKY with wonderful trusting expression
In its eyes.
II brought it in the house to die in
peace, but 1t did not die, and has grad
uaily recovered. 1t can now fly about
the room, and I would like to turn it
loose out OF DOORS but I am sure 1t is
= migratory bird. and If the rest OF its
kind have gone South 1t would only die
Of cold and starvation.
From the description In my bird book
think 1t Is warbling vireo.
1T is quite small, with q long sharp
bill. 1t is gray, with little olive green
on Its back. The only sound have
heard 1t make is \ chip, chip.
I have been feeding 1t ON f,ies and
grapes, both Of which he likes very much.
But flies are getting scarce, and soon will
be gone.
III keep 1t. what could I feed it on
during the winter? Do you think it Is
too late in the season to turn it out? It
has been SO gentle, and never gets in 4
panic.
1t has never acted like q wild bird.
II l am busily moving about the room.
1t does not seem to frighten him. He
will sit perched on = big dahlia in
vase, and seem quite content.
l saw catbird in the garden today,
70 1t may not be too late to give him his
freedom.
Very truly, NJ. r. c."
-
Probably the best thing to do, in
case such as this, is to get q nice big
cage and keep the bird until spring.
Then give it freedom letting nature In
the raw take its course.
Caging Of all songbirds Is against the
strict letter Of the law, but certainly the
idea behind the law, conservation, Is
helped. rather than worked against, in
such . case.
1t is extremely problematical whether
q bird raised In the house would be able
to nnd its way South quickly enough at
this time OF year.
Habit is habit.
The bird brought up by hand, As 1t
were, rather than bill, imbibes some Of
mankind's civilization, especially in re-
gard to food and warmth.
1t must get, too. some idea of protec-
ton. which it would not have in nature.
A term indoors tends to make it unfit
for life outdoors. unless it could be
placed Immediately in its natural habitat.
Just where the winter home OF the
warbling vireo is remains a mystery.
Ornithologists believe it is some where

Cheap Information.

According to E. Phillips Oppenheim
end others, the art of espionage is ex-
tremely intricate, dangerous and subtle.
Army officers in key positions are lured
by slim sirens or at least involved in
gambling debts. Super-wits are pitted
against super-super-wits and the fate
OF the world hangs on the outcome. Will
there be war or peace? That depends
on whether or not the stolen plans are
recovered. Much money is involved.
Oppenheim's spies don't pass out forty
dollars for secondhand copies of the
Infantry drill regulations, or twenty for
penny picture post cards of battleships
In the Panama Canal.
The whole build-up establishes re-
spect for efficient espionage that has
been badly shattered recently.
Despite the fact that future develop
ments in the New York "spy trial" may
restore popular belief in the sinister and
villainous quality of spies in general, on
the showing to date few can help feeling
that all rules have been violated. Ap-
parently almost anyone out of a job can
chisel in by mail and become full
hedged spy at considerably better than
relief wages. This kind of thing will
have a bad effect on the sales of future
spy novels and looking at it from another
angle, the Nazis certainly didn't get
square deal when they paid out real
cash for the facts which the record to
date shows they got. AS long as they
want so much to know, it seems shame
to deny them. With this in view, the
Benedict Arnold Information Service,
Inc. has assembled few reports for
their benefit, at cut-rate prices.

to be prepared to repeat last
