Bird Corner
Conducted by the Henderson
Bird Club
By j. w. SANDERS,
Vance County Farm Agent

Urban gardeners as we'll as farmers
should be much interested in the
maintenance Of effective bird refugees
for the success of farm and garden
crops. The economic value of birds
lies chiefly in their destruction of in
furious insects. Leading an active life,
they require much food, and are the
most raVenOuS enemies of insect
pests. The various groups Of birds
differ SO much in their habits that
they feed upon practically all
groups of insects and hardly an agri-
cultural pest escapes their attacks.
Careful study reveals that birds eat
the following number of kinds of in
sect pests in this community: Army
worm, 43; Boil weevil, 66; cutworms,
90; orchard tent caterpillar, 43; leaf
hoppers, 100; potato beetle, 25; GU
cumber beetle, %; white grubs, g.;
wireworm, 1913.
In feeding on insect pests not only
do birds take a great variety but they
frequently destroy large numbers.
Often more than a hundred indivi-
duals are devoured at meal, and in
the case of small insects sometimes
thousands. Frequently trees, garden
crops, and even farm fields have been
entirely freed of insect pests by birds.
Surely the economic value of our
feathered friends together with their
aesthetic value as 'exemplified by
their graceful forms, harmonious
colors, sprightly actions and pleasing
notes appeal to everyone in such a
manner as to invite cooperation in
making the Henderson Bird Sane
tuary a success.

Manners
of the
Moment

Ones dates should ordinarily be
treated as a part of ones private
life, and should be kept out of the
Office routine as much as possible.
At least that's the general feeling
around town.
The girl in the Office who sQueals
and giggles whenever young man
calls her up during working hours,
and who makes a point of accepting
the proffered date in loud tones so
that all may hear, is considered by
most of her colleagues a menace.
They're not interested in her dates,
and see no reason why they should
be informed of them. And further
more, one thing leads to another,
and before the Office knows what has
happened, the whole morning must
be spent listening to the detailed ro-
nance of, the evening before.
The best thing to do, if you have
one such potential menace in your
Office, is to nip her conversations
right in the bud. At the first word
about dates turn a deaf ear. And
when the telephone conversations
start, show no signs of having heard
word. Complete boredom with the
whole subject on the part of the rest
Of the Office staff ought to quench
the fire. JEAN.

The stork, which must be the

of the hand.

Local Consultant
Gives Advice on
Life of Hose

In case you missed $29 out of
your budget last year, madam, don't
look now, but it's probably in the
waste basket. That same 500, II
you're an average woman, went for
hose, and if you don't know how
to make the most of that amount,
which most people spend per year,
it's time you took notice.
In local shop this week, con-
sultant is telling women how to get
the longest wear out Of their stock
ings. Here are some of the secrets:
/. Buy good stockings and treat
them gently. g. Keep the edge of
your desk sandpapered and don't
twist your legs around the chair.
3. When putting on hose, try not
to catch rings in the threads, and
always remove rings before washing
hose. l. Buy two or three pairs Of
hose in the same shade, using two
threads for evening and three for
daytime S. Never wear stockings
more than once without washing in
gentle suds. This prevents perspira-
ton from weakening the threads
and elasticity.
The representative goes on to ex-
plain that elasticity Is most impor-
tant and a stocking should stretch
to II inches at the top; then spring
back in shape. She has tried to
educate women, both young and old
into the mysteries of buying prope,
hose and caring for them in a man.

And a bit of that advice surely

Dorothy Dix Says
Girls No Longer Are Handicap,
So Why Weep on Their Arrival?

perquisites Of the male of a family,
it is easy to see why boy babies
should be desired, but in this coun-
try where most of us have nothing
to leave our descendants but lit
tie good advice there seems no valid
reason why boys should have the
edge on the baby market.
The theory that sons are a bless
ing and daughters handicap had a
leg to stand on when women were
helpless dependents Then poor
papa, with a houseful of parasitic
girls to be fed and dressed and mar
ried of if possible, was indeed an
object of pity. But in this modern
age all Of that is changed. Now
adays girls get on their feet and
get jobs quite as early as their
brothers do and they are the prop
and stay of the family far oftener
than the boys.
So it is queer, all things consid-
cred, that boy babies are esteemed
so much more highly than girl
babies and the wackiest thing about
it all is that while men and women
want their own babies to be boy
babies, when they do adopt child
where they can choose the sex, they
almost invariably pick out girl
babies.
And who can explain that?

Excess Flesh
Reduced by
Daily Routine Must
Be Adhered to
For Results
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Each studio in Hollywood has
health expert who advises stars
how to keep fit through exercise,
correct menus, and beauty advice
for this and that ailment Natur-
ally the girls flock to them and
some ask the very same questions
you ask of me. Here are their an
SWers:
What shall 1 do for a backache?
Lewis Hippo answers: Exercise
first. Touch the floor with your fin
gertips without bending your knees.
Then bend sideways, raising your
left heel as you bend to the right,
and vice versa. When your back is
limbered give it some heat. Good
sun lamps are excellent. Otherwise
use hot bath towels. The first should
be comfortably hot, but the last
three or four applications should be
as hot as your skin can stand. Dry
well and dress warmly"
How can I correct a double. chin?
Again Lewis Hippo comes to your
rescue, with the suggestion of hot
towels: "It doesn't require magic
to get rid of a double chin. You
simply apply hot towels to soften
the fatty tissue-about five. Then
give your chin a kneading massage
with your knuckles-gentle but firm
along the offending flesh. Begin
at your chin point and massage
down your neck At intervals ap-
ply a couple more hot towels. Con-
tinue this routine for 10 minutes
each day. Always finish with an ap-
plication of chilled, strong astring-
ent."
How can 1 slim my hips?
Exercise is the answer and Jim
Davies of Hollywood gives you just
one to practice daily. Stretch out
on the floor where there Is room
enough for you to roll from side to
side. Lie on your back, cross your
arms on your chest. Raise your
shoulders and feet about inches
off the floor and roll over on your
left side, return to position, roll over
on your right side, return to position
Be sure to keep your shoulders and
feet off the floor and when you
begin to feel strained, relax for a
while and then repeat exercise.
Mr.. Davies warns you that your hips
will be sore the first week but he
also assures you that devotion to
rolling 10 or Is minutes each day
will slim down those bulges!
My arms are too fat, how can
slim them?
Of course, you must watch your
weight, but here Is simple exer.

Encouraging

Answer: While it is excellent
training to encourage a child to
come in and greet company and to
say good night to company, I agree
with you that too much Of point
should not be made of it. If he is
sitting in the room with you when
people come, then he must of course
say How do you do" politely, and
Good night" before leaving the
room. But if people are strangers
