"DAHLIA STREET.

Dear Sir:
1T never miss reading This and That
and wondered If you would be interested
in showing the bird lovers how simple
1t is to supply them with water.
Il have two bird baths that are in
great demand. One is an old table dn-
verted with garbage can lid, and the
other is an old chair with the back cut
off and that old standby, the garbage
can lid.
st have bought bird bath, but the
birds like my homemade ones best. We
have three pairs of cardinals that stay all
year; mockingbirds, blue jays off and
on, and lots of .sparrows and starlings.
IT feed them chickseed and Sunf1ower
seed. The cardinal comes early, before
it is quite light and again during the day
and late in the evening.
Your truly, A. ""
1t is too bad that we can't reproduce
the photographs because they are quite
interesting and show what can be done
In caring for the birds without any
expense.
One shows a long-legged table, or
flower stand, upside down on its top;
that is, the table top is used as base.
This leaves four long legs sticking up
in the air. On these, fitted in securely,
is the garbage can lid.
This makes a nice drinking and bath
ing place which will not crack and split
,ba,, ha tar In,
The second bath shows low chair
with the back removed, and the lid fitted
where the seat used to be.
\
Both show how the humble garbage
can lid may be used, but there are many
other ways, of course. One of these is
simply to hollow out a shallow hole,
about an inch deep, and place the lid in
it, thus making sunken bath for the
birds. This makes exactly the sort of
bath most birds prefer. Such sunken
bath is the most natural of all. If a
border of stones is fitted around it, just
high enough to come to the top, and
few plants put around at the back, such
lid becomes thing of real beauty.
Garbage and ash can lids make excel
lent feeding pans. Either of our cor
respondents baths might be used for
seed and mixed grains at any time. The
birds wouldn't object.
Another excellent bird bath, either for
summer or winter, is the fashioned
pie pan. This is cheap, and the birds
like it, It may be used either sunk flush
with the earth, or simply placed on the
ground at a little distance from where
the songsters are fed.
K X
In winter this simple dish is very use
full, for its content of ice, on very cold
DAYS, may be knocked out with a stroke.
The pan is then filled with fresh water,
preferably luke-warm lin order to keep
it from freezing so quickly0
Such an impromptu bath is best kept
in the sun, and need not be filled except
in the afternoon, when the feathered
folk like best to bathe, naturally enough.
When the sun shines down in the yard,

Boarding and day schools are maintained
for the instruction of the children
through the grammar school.
@. When does the year actually beginf
R B. S.
A. The calendar year begins at the
stroke of u on the night of December 81.
Q. would like some help in caring for
a swimming tank. How can 1 keep down
the green moss or scum that accumuIates
in it?-V. C. L.
A. If the walls of the pool are already
covered, the water should be drained
and the pool thoroughly cleaned with
solution of per cent copper sulphate.
The sides should be scrubbed with a wire
brush. After the pool has been thoroughly
cleaned about L pound of copper sui
phate per 100 900 gallons of water should
be used two or three times weekly This
solution is a very effective algaecide.
G. When did Loves Old Sweet Song"
come out?-A S.
A. The composition was published IN
1901.
@. I understand that George WASH
ington had false teeth. Can you tell
me something about them?-V. S. H.
A. From the time George Washington
was 25, he suffered intensely from tooth
ache and there was virtually no help
known but by extraction. Before the
end of the Revolution he appears to
have had some false teeth, fastened in
with wire. Natural teeth seemed to go
rapidly and the last one came out in
1895. Several sets of teeth we're MAIDS
for Washington, the later ones anyway
being partly of sea horse" or hippopot-
anus ivory.
@. Does Tibet place any restrictions on
the climbing of Mount Everest?-C. E. P,
A, Tibet has granted permission to dis
patch a climbing expedition to Mount
Everest through Tibetan territory only

@. Was tobacco once used in place Of
money in Virginia?-W. B.
A. In Virginia tobacco was an actual
medium of exchange, the salaries Of
ministers, government officials, etc, be-
ing assessed at so many pounds of to-
bacco. This practice continued until q
stable American currency was establish
ed by Hamilton in Washingtons first
administration.

Demands More Space
For Army-Navy Parking.

TO the EDITOR OF The Star:
The parking spaces available to Army
Navy civilian employees are decreasing
although our numbers are increasing.
Buses and streetcars are packed like
sardine cans, seldom have an open win
dow and are so crowded that they often
pass up people waiting to board them
The transportation is bad and parking is
worse. Why can't one or the other be
improved, especially parking, since there
is more space than the skaters, horse
back riders, bicycle riders, ballplayers,
polo players and boomerang throwers
need?
New streets could be cut or existing
areas improved for parking. The cinder
road could be improved and diagonal
parking permitted thereon. We have the
notion that we have as much right to
parking space as others have for bride
paths, bicycle paths, and a couple hun
dred acres of Fairgrounds.

They put him scales. They examined his teeth and
