Storm Deprives Birds of Natural Food Supplies;
 Suggestions Offered

Hartford Feb. 1.-The State Board of Fisheries and Game today appealed to nature lovers and sportsmen to distribute food for hungry birds during the critical winter period,

 "Pheasants, quail and ground feeding birds can be fed corn or or' dinary poultry feed mixtures. Some fine gravel should be included.
 Food for ground. feeding birdI should be scattered under lean tc shelters of evergreen boughs, corn- stalks or similar material, These shelters, however, should bc open on at least three sides and located nex, to dense cover,' superintednet Hin- ter warned

 When the final and authoritative words dealing with the life of Pope Plus x1 are written, they will re- cord him as @ statesman, a scholar, and a man of earnest and decisive action.
 But, more than that, they will emphasize that he employed his vast pontifical power with greater understanding and sympathy for the problems of the lay world than any other pope of modern times.
 Before he became Pope Plus xI, Achille Ratti was scholar, diplo- mat, and man of the world. He knew men and nations, He kept abreast of his times as keenly as does the cditor-in-chief of a great newspaper.
 And in his speeches and en- cyclicals touching in upon all the great problems agitating mankind, he reflected this study of current affairs.
 The observance of the 70oth anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assist In 1926, four years after the pope's coronation gave the supreme pontiff oppor- tunity to contrast the poverty and simple living of the saint with modern ostentation and luxury. EDUCATION JOINT DUTY
 Again in 1929, taking cognizance of world trends, he issued, his en- cyclical on Christian education In this, he insisted that education should be the joint work of fam. fly, church, and state,
 The church. was ready, he said to cooperate with civil authority and arrange for mutual under standing on such education.
 On the last day of 1880, he is- sued his noted encyclical on the family, strongly reasserting the doctrine that marriage Is an indis- soluble tic. He deprecated the fact that the sanctity of marriage was derided by frivolous theatrical productions, novels, and speeches He denounced all temporary, eX- porimental, and companionate marriages,
 In his address to the cardinals on Christmas Eve. 1880, the pope spoke of the crisis through whicl, the world was passing, and asked & new international spirit inspired by Christian charity.
 Peace for the world, he said could not come from unwise pac. lfism. It must be the peace oi Christ, and would be hamperee so long as there existed unequa distribution of the worlds wealth and SO long as selfish nationalisn existed In nations.
 FIRST POPE TO USE RADIO
 Consistent with his modern at- titude was the event of February 1881, when he became the first pope in all history to send a mes-

 DOESN'T DRINK
 BUT SETS 'EM UP
 Congressman Taylor does not drink and never has, but he figures he has bought more drinks than any teetotaler that ever lived, He started running for local offices back in the wide open days in Leadville, in the ie80's. The miners oil con- gregated in saloons, and to conduct a campaign you simply walked in, told the barkeep to set 'em up, passed out cigars, and made a little speech.
 Things are different In Wash- ington than they were when he first came here, he says. "For one thing. 2 congressman has four times as much work as he had then.
 Congressman and Mrs. Taylor go out very seldom, He feels fit and hearty, except that lately he has been little of his feed and his doctor has put him on Q 'baby diet" Summing up his career, he remarks:
 "The only secret to being re- turned to congress time and agair by your constituents Is to bring home the bacon."

 VISITING t,
 If you have Q tear to shed, shed it for Mrs. Sheridan Downty, wife of the junior senator from Cali fornia. She has to make 0b calls before anybody can come to call oil her,
 Making calls in official Wash- ington Is strictly . matter of rules. A senator's wife, for instance. calls on the wives of all senators senior Co her husband, and re- ccives calls from all hls Juniors. Seniority is determined by the date \ senator took thc oath Of office. In the ease Of senators sworn In on the same day, tho rank depends on the dates on which their respective states were admitted to the Union.

 With the advice of uuglielmu Marconi. a wireless station was built on the Vatican grounds. A new electric power station was erected, motor ears replaced older means of transport, new electric elevators were installed, ana modern railway station and papai train were put in regular service, And when Achille Ratti became Pope Plus xI, one of his first acts was to install Tcodolinda Baifi, his mothers cook, as his personal cook in the Vatican, move not altogether approved by his official family. Age finally forced her to yield her duties to German friars.
 On matters of faith and disci- pline. he was adafnant. He once received King Alfonso of Spain To the queen, the pope presented the Golden Rose, emblem of high honor.
 But after Alfonso promised that tho armed forces of his nation would be ready at any time to go to war for the church, and hinted that Spain would be gratified to receive one or two cardinals hats, the pope replied coolly - and no cardinals hats went to Spain. PLACES PAPER ON INDEX
 When the parisian paper, "Ac. ton Franchise" which was both Catholic and Royalist, persisted in savage attacks upon the French Republic, the pope became dis- pleased and finally, after his warn- ings went unheeded, placed the paper on the Index. He also im-e piled a criticism of France for oc-. cupation of the Ruhr in post-wart days.
 He was greatly troubled by the approach of hostilities between Italy and Ethiopia, especially since the long dispute between the. church and the Italian government, had been SO recently and 50 bril-' liantly settled.
 After the war started, the pope said, in special broadcast to the Eucharistic Congress at Lima, Peru; May Almighty God grant that a. triie Christian spirit of understand. jne shall spread throughout the world, especially in Europe and 1 Africa, where peace already has been upset"
 The fury of spain's civil war saddened the pope. fn September, io38. speaking to 2b0 bishops, priests, and laymen who had been driven from Spain, he called on Christianity to combat ruthless warfare threatening the very foundations of civilization.
 FACED TROUBLED WORLD
 From the tme of his accession. when Red Russia presented Q se- rious problem to the church; through the crisis when Bella Kun and his Communist followers swarmed over Hungary; through the religious struggle in Mexico, and the strife in Spain, Pope Plus xf looked on Q world beset by troubles and conflict.
 His superb understanding of the actual problems in each case, anG the statecraft he used in dealing with them. brought solutions, l. most eases.
 But guiding him in this mas terly mediation between theologl- cal precepts and often ugly worlc faets was the wisdom he had been gathering from the days of hif youth, even before priesthood when. in the little town Of Desio, in the Lombardy plains, the future pope was known only as Achill, Ratti.
