HOME TOWN F= HELPS> SOWME BIRDS ARE NEGLECTED Familiar Robin and Friendly Chicka- dee Almost Forgotten by the Bird- house Builders. In the last five years we have heard and read a good deal about birdhouse building. Bluebird, wren and martin ought now to be well provided for by all bird lovers. Other birds have also been mentioned along with the box nesting idea, as the flicker and the crested fiy-catcher, though these fele lows undoubtedly much prefer natural Tholes in trees, which the woodpecker generally makes for himself and the fly-catcher selects with great care, There are exceptions, of course; flick- ers have been known to select holes previously excavated and even those made by man, and we have had the crested fly-catcher take up quar- ters in a deserted bluebird box of hol- low-limb appearance that was nailed tp the trunk of a tree. Some birds, however, have been al- most forgotten and one of these is our old, familiar, friendly robin, while an- other is less familiar, but not less friendly, the cheery chickadee. Robins generally build their nests in vines, on densely-foliaged tree limbs, often in more exposed places, some- Hmes on porch pillar top or roof beam. WOMAN PERISHES TODAY .

How many times have you thought of visiting the photogra- pher? Yes, and then overlooked tae matter in the press of other Baut if they are offered a rather open and roofed box set on a pole and A House for the Chickadee. shielded from cats they are very apt te set up housekeeping therein. The ideal robin box is merely a floor with cleats, two opposite sides and a gabled roof, two sides, therefore, being open, and this set on a pole from ten to twenty feet in air will tempt the birds most surely. Dimensions inside should be about 10 by 10 by 6 inches. DIRTY STREETS AND GERMS Diseases of the Respiratory Organs Are Directly Attributable to Un- Washed Pavements. Read any metropolitan paper on Sun day and note the tabulated causes of deaths during the preceding week. Dis- eases of the res tory organs lead all the rest. To a city engineer the sig- pificance of this fact should be ap- parent. Grip, colds in general, pneu- wonia, tuberculosis and all the respira- tory diseases have their origin ino germs. These germs, for the most part, come from expectorated matter that falls upon streets, there to dry and be blown about with the dust that every gust of wind or motorcar sends upon its deadly journey, says a writex in Engineering and Contracting. To apply water effectively in clean: inz pavements, it is essential that the surface be smooth and well crowned. This condition is not perfectly fulfilled In 10 per cent of the streets in Amer- ica, at a safe guess, and it is not even approximately fulfilled in 30 per cent of the streets. In brief, more than two-thirds of the streets in American cities need resurfacing if a marked re- daction in respiratory diseases is to be effected. This does not mean, ° ~ourse, that every city is in need of . such overhauling, but it does mean th.. the average city needs it, and it ngeda it affairs! THIS time, make it certain.
