1 s . BIRDS BIG AID _find a whitish looking anim: PAGE FOUR IN WINNING WAR Audubon Societies Tell of Their Work. RESPOND 70 HOOVER'S CALL Feathered Insect Eaters Help in Rals. ing of Big Crops—Investigation Shows That Pelican Preys Only on Fish Not Eaten by Man—Landown- ers Are Kept- informed on Practical Use of Bird Life Through Writings and Lectures. American birds did their part in the war by aiding in food conservation, ac- cording to the annual report of the National Associatlon of Audubon so- cleties. Herbert C. Hoover, as food adminis- trator, had asked the American people to protect the insect eating and mi- gratory birds. “Increased acreage under cultivation very naturally means more insects in turn and the need of more birds to combat them,” says the Audubon so- cléties’ report. “Hence there has been A Btill greater need for Audubon serv- ice, which through its many agencies supplies information and through its wardens is protecting bird life.” . Investigate Pelican. . Gilbert Pearson, executive head of ‘the assoclation, at the request of the food administration went to. the Southern Atlantic coast to investigate a ¢omplaint that the brown pelican was destroying valuable food fish and there- fofe should be exterminated, His in- vestigation in the pelican colonles from Mexico to Key West showed +h8 re- ports libelled the pelican clan. He says the 65,000 odd adult pelicans in those colonles prey entirely on fish that is not eaten by man and which are destructive to the young of mar- ketable specles. Another complaint was that the sea gualls were despoiling the sheep ranges on the islands off the coast of Maine, An agent of the assoclation investigat. ing the report found that on the con- trary the gulls were of material aid In, increasing vegetation. The assoclation was active in pre- vénting the destruction of the Klamath and Malheur bird reservations in Ore- . gon and California, which were to have been dismantled and drained on the plea that they were needed for farming purposes. The birds which took refuge there In the breeding season were »ahown to be valuable conservators of “grain and fruit, justifying the use of the land as a reserve. . Practical Use of Bird Life. b H. K. Job, in charge of the depart n&nt of applied ornithology, at his ex: s peflmentnl bird farm at Amaton, Conn.. ,nde important investigations showing e practical use of bird life and dis uted his knowledge to landowners !hrough writings and lectures. The work of the association will be ‘alded by the passage of the enabling act of the migratory bird treaty, which will afford. means of protecting birds on their way from the United States to Canada, It Is expected that the aci . Will become law now that world peac¢ wfll permit a more determined cam: pa!gn in Its favor. . Desplte the distractlon caused by the war, the assoclation has had a healthy . growth in the fiscal year. Thé move meént to show the economic value of the work brought into the association 161 lfe members, a large yearly in- crease. An addition of 150,000 boys and girls were enrolled in the 6,297 classes conducted throughout the coun: try, a work increased through the do nations from the late Mrs. Russell Bage, General Coleman du Pont and George Bastman. The sustaining mem: bership of the association now nume bers 8,800 persons, each of whom payt ‘$6 annually. KISSED BY THOUSAND GIRLS Cleveland Lad Is Saluted as Represent. ative American. November 11 was a: great day for’ Corpoml Louls Romanelli, a Cleveland boy in France. Not because the war was over and _he was sure of coming home, But be cause: November 11 is the day he was kissed by a thousand beautiful French women. He tells about it in & letter to his mother and says that ‘he was saluted as a representative of the United States and in recognition - of what this country has done to help g France.

WOSTUPINBATTE NOW A NEW ONE New York Officer the Subject of an ‘Interesting Operation in England. A surgeon has played a trick on Lieut. Clément G. Felt of Olean, N, Y« But the liéutenant 18 ‘fiot angry about it. In fact, he is one of the happiest men in London. He was hit by a shell on September 29 in the terrible battle between Cambral and St. Quentin, ‘when the Hindenburg line was broken. He lay unconsclous in a shell hole, nobody knows how long. He doesn't. When he came to' himself, he found that he wis wounded in the hip, in the| . hand, and also that his lower lip had been blown away. He was taken to hospital and examined by a surgeon, who 1in dua course placed him under an anesthetic and made him a new llp. The work was so perfectly done that even the Heutenant’s own mother would never tetect ‘that the present lip is the second one that her son. has worn. “All ‘that remains to show that he was wounded in the mouth is a slight scar, just a badge of honor. Lieutenant Felt often wondered where the ‘new flesh -came from that went to hig face. Was it taken from the anatomy of some generous colonel, or major general? - Was it a contribu- tion of some pretty young English malden? That was wlat he hoped most ‘of all, Lieutenant Felt is a bach- elor. But, alas, it wasn't. Only the other day came the disfllusionment. The “bandiiges of his own left hand, which he thought had been damaged by the shell, were unwrapped. a deep cut in the hand. That was the new lp. FIND ‘MAN’S - SKELETON Lumbermen Solve Mystery of Aged Person's Disappearance. The miysterious disappearance of Smith Flohr, an eighty-year-old moun- taineer of Mountaindale, Pennsylvania, missing sfnce Augist 20, and for whom a ‘search covering the Blue Ridge mountains for miles around has ‘been going on since, was solved when two lumbérmen, ‘John: Brown and Solo- mon Monn, While' passing through a densely wooded section of the moun- tains near-Old' Forge, stumbled across the skeleton of a man., Near by a hat and coat enabled the discov- erers of the body to identify it es that of Flohr. On the day of the old mountaineer's dfsappearance he had been visiting a son, Irvin 8. Flohr, at Mountaindale, and declded toward evening to-make his way across to Blue Ridge Summit, wheré another son, D. S. Flohr, Tived, intending to spend the night there. Desplte efforts to dissuade him, Flohr started out ‘mcross the ‘mountains. From that moment until his'skeléton was ‘dIscovered about & mile from the main mountaln road, hils wherettbouts puzzled the coufitryside. = It {s now as- sumed that he became confused, wan- deted 'Into the ‘thicket and-after becom- ing eéxhausted, collapsed, and later died of starvation, "FIXED CUCKOO CLOCK" Bird in Tlmoplau Made In’ Germany Now Says *Bob White.” John C. Wagner, a jeweler’ of Vin- cenines, Ind., has the distinction of be- ing ‘the' first Indlanian to naturalize the bird in & “euckoo clock made in Germany.” Immediately after the war was declared, when his son enlist- ed in Battery E, One Hundred and Fiftieth Field Artillery, Mr. Wagner stopped the clock, contending that the “cuckoo” was Germany's national bird. The clock falled to operate for a long time until recently. Mr. Wagner spent many hours in rebuilding it and finally completely Americanized the bird, which now says “Bob White” in- stead of “cuckoo.” As soon as the announcement was One of the first photographs to reach this cotintry showing ‘the ¢olel All the soldiers from tlie allied armies that were In Vladivostok participated in the parade.

'MAKE YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS All One Needs to Determine Physical Condition |s to Test by Clini- . cal Thermometer. The best way of asking a friend how he is, is not to say flippantly: “How are ‘you blowing?" or even “How's ! your liver?” but sirply and suffictent- Iy: “How's your temperature?” Ac- cording to your temperature you are well or ill, alive or nearly ‘dead. Tn fact, there are only ten degrees be- 'tween blooming Hheulth “and certain death, observes a writer in ‘London Answers. The témperature of the air has noth- ing to do with the temperature of the | body, which is the temperature of the blood. The Eskimo In health sends the clinical thermometer to ‘the same spot as the Negro in Timbuctoo, viz, 98 dogrees Fahrenhieit. 'The tempera- ture of the alr will sometimes vary 40 temperature of the body goes up twe dégrees; you are 1115 four degrees, you are very 111; six degrees, and the doc- tor 1§ very anxidus;‘elght degrees, and you are at death’s door.

Ninety-eight degrees, all right; 100 degrees, stay at home; 101 degrees; go to bed; 102 degrees, send ‘for the doctor. Anything higher than that 18 a doctor’s job. ‘The Economy General. Gen.
