West is blessed with many more
birds than usual.
With hardly any exceptions,
the birds that have come down
to us this season are the kinds
protected by state and federal
laws. In other words, they are
not game birds that hunters are
permitted to shoot in proper sea-
son. It is illegal to shoot or mo-
lest songbirds and other nom
game varieties. Offenders who
break the laws protecting them
may be punished
We have a good chance to
keep the birds in Key West for
the enjoyment of the people who
like to watch them and hear
their songs. Notably, we have
many more mockingbirds than
usual. There are also many of
the small warblers.
They will make our city
pleasanter, not only for those
who live here the year round,
but for the tourists who find
them delightful attraction.
Shooting at them or throwing
rocks at them. even if they are
not hit, will drive them away.
Birds are wise and soon learn
to leave places where they are
bothered. One small boy with a
slingshot can spoil the pleasure
of many. many other people who
enjoy seeing the birds.
1--WE ask that pupils encour-
age the birds by putting out pans
of fresh water during dry wealth
er, and that food, such as bread.
raisins, and seeds, be placed out.
The water and food should be
placed so that cats cannot creep
up on the birds while they are
feeding
Since the songbirds provide
us not only with enjoyment
which comes from their songs,
but are invaluable to the farmer
and to all of us by killing insects
on plants which provide us with

dierS gave Dutch children hand
grenades to play with. This
comes from an anxious mother
who had brought her son out
of Scheveningen, a beach spa
near The Hague. to see the fire
works last night. Having been
given a hand grenade tossed it
to a playmate and seen him
blown to bits. Now. several
years afterward, his mother
feared last nights fireworks
might unnerve him.
Among the daytime crowds at
this same beach are a few veal
thy Jews who have served time
in Nazi concentration camps.
They still wear the brands into
their flesh indicating the camp
where they were prisoners.
On entering the Hague, one is
impressed by the wide. tree

lures but churches appear TO

Europe. But there is a substan-
tial, solid, built on-rQek appear

reflected in the, interiors. The
steeply slipping tile roofs, the solid
stone or brick buildings with
their heavy ponderous-looking
furniture and neat Dutch tile
inside, have the appearance of
! being built to last for years
as many of them have.
Bicycle traffic is enormous

and it is an experience to
duck your way across the street

Word was received here early
today of the death at Evans

a brother of Mrs. w. Fl. Laub-

piles of debris anywhere. The
Dutch have cleaned it up.
"But over here" my Dutch
friend pointed to a paved street
without a single house. right
over here we lived for IL years. "
A few blocks further along:
"That wall-well, just few doors
down there lived some German
officers. One was killed. So they
went out into the streets and
picked up some passersby, all
Dutchmen, stood them UP against
the wall and shot them down."

1t is useless to compare costs
in American dollars in the Unit
ed States and in Holland, for
while in the American viewpoint
the general level of costs is the
same, the wage level is not. So
Will the equivalent of $40 in
Dutch guilders for a mans suit
of clothes, or 81 for a cheap pair
of shoes, $5-$l0-$l5 for a wom-
ans dress or $40 for her coat dc

can, these prices are exorbitant
for the Hollander. Exorbitant moi
only in the original place, but also
because the average family does
not have enough tickets" to buy
all the clothes required. So they
either buy tickets or buy black
which in either case is more ex.
orbitant still.
AS an example, young teacher
in a primary school earns 10C
guilders month. Her tota
months salary buys her a dress
a coat, and pair of shoes-il
she has the tickets. And she ha:
no money left.
Rent for a decent middle elias:

devastated country-is about 50t

Coal is scarce-again you mus

The gently rolling country of
Belgium flattens out into a great
level, plain almost as soon as you
enter Holland. The land stretch
es, fiat as a tabletop before you,
and you can see for miles--a

And you can bet two gold safety pins that
little Rae's lovely skin was bathed with soap
famous for it's purity and mildness.
Of course! Ivory Soap was Rae's soap
its purity and mildness helped keep her tender

for girls at any age. In fact, more doctors ad-
wise Ivory than all other brands put together.
