Of course the department of agriculture hostility toward them is based on their appetite for farm products. They eat millions of dollars’ worth an- muely: The urban public may not realize this but farm- ers do. What's more, the bug birth rate is increasing alarmingly —miuch faster than the death rate, despite all science can do. The Agriculture Department lays this largely to the destruction of birds. It’s been checked now, but it went on almost uninterfered with until quite recently. The depart- ment estimates there are only about half as many birds to- day as 40 years ago. Birds eat bugs as fast as bugs eat crops, but only half enough of them can’t get away with 2 sufficient quantity. The balance has been disturbed. “Not all the government aid in the world,” as one department ex- pert puts it, “can help agriculture as much as twice as many birds could.” If you see any sick bugs— especially if it’s something catching and fatal— send them in to‘the Agricultural De- partment, to have their germs broadcast. EXCEPTIONS TO ALL RULES ;. .Who owns the world; the dead or the living? we all side with the dead. An Italian-American school girl in New York started a protest against motor launches in Venice which reached Mussolini, and brought his assurance that no such step was contemplated. And now comes the Roosevelt Memorial Association and protests against the Oyster Bay church doing as most churches do — building a modern church for the use of its members. Dobutless, both are right. In this gasoline age, the Vene- tians are the only ones who owe it to the sentiment of the world to'be as, slow as their ancestors. . And a church that*once had Roosevelt as a member must never be any better than it was for him. There are excep- tions to all rules. Sometimes CABINET President Coolidge announces that Secretary Weeks is not going to resign. When a cabinet member becomes ill, there seems to be a feeling in the nation that he should quit. Of course, if his physical condition makes it impossible to continue his duties, a successor is needed. But shouldn’t some means be provided for continuance of their salaries? The salary paid cabinet members is too little for the cali- ber of men necessary for the positions. The fear of retire- ment for illness—throwing back into civil life where busi- ness connections have lapsed—should not keep men from ‘where they can best serve the public. No corporation treats its employes in such a cold blood- ed manner. LOCK YOUR CAR There are organized gangs of auto thieves in the United States. But their thefts are comparatively small. Ninety per cent of the auto thefts are by joyriders who leave the car after a night of pleasure. You will have a hard time thwarting the professional, once he determines to make off with your car. Good locks will thwart the amateur. This is just a reminder that this is the joyriding season. IN PRINCIPLE ‘ The National Parent-Teacher Association, meeting at Austin, Tex., has gone on record as favoring the substitution of women for men in all police work involving girls. There is no reason why this principle should not be un- animous. Girls’ in trouble seldom need third degrees, cold «ells, or masculine treatment. There are many policemen who are fatherly enough, but it takes a woman to understand @ woman. LABOR Science,. devising labor saving machinery, has reduced the average work day from 14 to 8 hours and more goods are being produced. A three-hour work day may be enough to produce the world’s goods in some future generations. The human race, trained to labor from its infancy, may thén worry about laws compelling physical exertion to keep it healthy, just as we worry about prohibition. AIRMAIL The Postoffice Department is shortly to start a double hedule on its airmail route from New York to San Fran- cisco. Later St. Louis, Detroit, Boston, Baltimore, are to be linked to this great route. _ : : And a little later every state in the union will be linked ith every other. Then what is now’“first-class” mail will be second class.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both of important issues which bein the discussed in the pr lay. REDEEMING WALL STREET (New York Times) Reports that Henry Ford is go ing to enter Wall Street are de- clared to ibe exaggerated, ‘but if Wall Street is one-half as crafty ag it is alleged to be it wall move heaven and earth to draw him to ita bosom. For ncthing can be thought of which would 80 quick- ly and completely remove the pre- judice of the West and the South against Wall Street. With Henry Ford a great figure in it, the curse woul! ‘be instantly removed. It would be like the change in the infernal regions which Fathec Taylor said woud occur if Emer- son had realy gone there: the cli mate would quickly change and immigration ripidy set in. More- over, once Henry Ford were part and parcel of Wall Street, it could get anything it wanted from Con gress. The precipitate enthusiasm with which the House of Represen- tatives voted to give him Muscle Shoals is a fair indication of what it might do for him in Wall Street It would vote him the Fevera] Re serve Bank out of hand, or make him a present of thé navy if he seemed to want it. In short, if Wall Street loses the chance to annex Henry Ford it will be throwing away the greatest op portunity of its life. At one stroke it could cease to be a monster of iniquity and become a source of national hope and blessing. ~~ SAVED! (Danville Register) Movie censors have forbidden tv the public gaze a scene picturing a male lady’s maid. The’ good citizenry will. not be compelled to witness man dragged from his high estate as lord and master of his castle and all that it contains and made a menial to an emanci- pated flapper. The modern woman Is not to be permitted to look upon and gloat over the gallant con- jueror of hearts playing lackey to the weaker sex, nor is enfranchised womanhood to have the exquisite vengeance of seeing the ravisher of femininity the domineering brute, the wrecker of tender hearts, arranging the bobbed. tresses of the New Woman. But what could have inspired the scenario writer and movie di- rector to this attempted introduc- tion into screenland of. the he- maid? Was it prophecy or merely another dream of dceminance of the oppressed? Oppressed classes, | groups and nations have ever h: their dreams of dominance, so why not this American woman who has so long indulged in self-pity for her dependence and inferiority to man! ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ERTS BARTON BALDY EAGLE CHASES MRS. FISH HAWK Mrs. Blackbird was telling about Mrs. Fish-Hawk and the great bald eagle. “Yes, sir!” she went on to say, “Mrs. Fish-Hawk has an enemy and that is Mister Baldy Eagt:. He isn't really bald though in spite of his name. He has white feathers on top of his head that give him that look. That is why he is called the bald eagle.” Mrs. Blackbird stopped to smooth out her ruffled feathers and to get her breath. She had done so much, talking since her arrival that she} was hoarser than ever. “Do go on with your story,” urged Nick. “We want to hear how you} saved Mrs. Fish-Hawk from the eagle.” “Well, to be perfectly truthful, I didn't do it all by myself,” said Mrs. Blackbird modestly. “My friends helped me. They were just as furi- ous about it as I was, when I told them what was going on. “You see it was this way. Mrs. Fish-Hawk did all her fishing near the shore. She woald fly around in the air until she would see a fish near the top of the water. Hawks of all kinds have the sharpest eyes in the world. Nothing escapes them. They are like eagles. And you have heard the old saying, ‘To have an eye like an eagle!’ “When she sees a fish she makes a| swoop down to the water and grabs it in her claws. Then she flies back! to the tall tree where she has her big} nest, and divides the fish among her children. “When it is finished,” went on time to lose the burden of ager Saeed behi: THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Straw H OUD FRIENDS N NEW SETINGS at Season i | { A > SPECIAL DELIVERY LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT Sometimes, old chap, I think that you ask too many impertinent ques- tions for your own or anyone else's good. Just why you are so anxious to know who took the little Zoe Elling- ton home is something in which I have no interest. I am of the.same opinion as your wife, Leslie. I have always thought she had a better ap- preciation of ethics than you. If, Zoe would not tell you who took her home, I could not possibly feel that I could throw any light upon the subject. Even if I knew anything about the matter, I would not tell you or anyone else, unless Zoe gave me permission. Please bear in mind, however, that I do not say that I do know any- thing about it. You ask me why I rushed off without saying goodby to anyone. I had a chance to make that early morning train and I knew that if f waited to see you off it would make me at least twenty-four hours late for some business that had turned up rather unexpectedly and seemed quite imperative. I had intended to write you before this, especially to write Leslie, but the business of which I spoke has kept me on the jump ever since I returned home. I wish, however, you would tell Leslie for me that it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have ever Such QUEER : WEAS OF STYLE y spent and that I agree with you that she was the belle of her own party. I find now that I shall have to be over in Pittsburg in a day.or two. I expect at that time I will have to parry all sorts of questions with you, but I give you fair warning, I shall not answer any of them unless I think that I have the rigth to do so. If you wish meeto, I will be a guest at your house for the few days of my stay. Until then I am, Your best, if not your most agree- able friend, SYD. Telegram From Leslie Prescott to Ruth Burke Can you come here immediately? A most tragic and mysterious thing has happened. LESLIE. Telegram From Ruth Burke to Les- lie Prescett Your telegram has thrown me al- most into a panic. What is the mat- ter? Walter is quite ill with flu. I do not see how I can leave him. An- swer. RUTH. Night Letter From Leslie Prescott to Ruth Burke Can not trust my news to wire. You have probably received some inkling from the newspapers as we are expecting it to come out any mo- ment under scareheads.

Mrs, Blackbird, “she flies back again for another fish. Mrs. Fish-Hawk is a good mother and fishes constantly.” “What had the bald eagle to do with it?” asked Nick. “I'm coming to that,” blackbird. mile away from the tree where Mrs. Fish-Hawk lives, old Baldy Eagle dwells on a cliff that sticks out over the water. “Now, he can fish himself, for he has sharp eyes and he is very strong and can lift a fish out of the water, that is as big as he is. “But he is lazy, and when he sees another bird with a fine fat fish in its claws, he says to himself, ‘Yum! That looks good, and it’s easier to take it away from its owner than it is for me to go fishing, and get all wet.’ “So he got into the habit of wateh> ing until Mrs. Fish-Hawk caught a big fish and then when she was half way home, chase her and steal it right out of her claws. It was the meanest thing you ever saw. Be- sides, Mrs. Fish-Hawk's children came nigh to starving to death. “I could stand it no longer,” said Mrs. Blackbird, “so at last [ went and told my friends. Hundreds of them. at “They were as indignant as I was, so we had a meeting and decided to do something.” “What did you do?” asked Nancy. “We watched, the very next time old Baldy Eagle chased Mrs. Fish-Hawk to steal her fish, we rose up like a black cloud and got after him. We picked at him and flapped our wings in his eyes and screamed at him until he was glad to sneak off home. And Mrs, Fish-Hawk got to her nest safely.” “Did he stop?” asked Nick. « ie id Mrs. Blackbird id. Every time he got after her we did the same thing. That is what mussed me up so.

Rowell Learning to play is the chief problem of the Age of Ma- chinery. Work was once thought the all-sufficient remedy for the mischief which Satan proverbially finds for idle hands to do. But no more! Work no longer occupies all the time for even the busiest hands. ? We have abolished child labor, and abbreviated adult labor, until some degree of leisure is the common lot of all of us. The “idle hands” consist of everybody's hands, for an important part of every day. And Satan, notoriously, is finding plenty of mischief for them to do. The only remedy is for us to get even busier than Satan, finding good things to do with leisure, in place of his mis- chiefs. The same machinery which provided the leisure can also provide the tltings —libraries, parks, social centers. athletic field and dancing halls, radio, movie and theatrical these things can not be made by machinery nor bought for money. These must begin with the schools, and continue through every organ of adult education and leadership. The schools q would be omitting half their task if the prepared pupils only for the working part of life. One of their most useful func- tions is to teach the “useless.” ' programs—but the tastes, knowledge and disposition to use ” And, with everything invit from booze to Beethoven, people must learn-to prefer wholesome pleasures, or it will make little dif- ference how efficiently our machines do our work. DON’T BLAME OTHERS FOR NOT THINKING OUR WAY America asks Europe to pay. So far, so good. We will not be ex- acting. We expect only what our debtors can pay, only as fast as they can pay and those terms, self-evidently, they can meet. So far, so good. The trouble is that this is not all we are asking. We are also de- manding that European peoples think as we do. f ; We think this is a pure, unmixed business proposition, Therefore, we insist that they shall do so. We think that they payment of these debts is unrelated to security, to other inter-allied debts, to German payments, or to’ the various pur- poses for which their various items were contracted. Thinking these things, we demand that everybody else shall think them, without dis- cussion. If they do, the conclusion is obvious. Unfortunately nobody else think these things. They think these things discussable, and they want to discuss them all. If we re- fuse to permit them to be discussed, they will not discuss them; just as we did not discuss land disarma- ment at the Washington Conference, because France would not permit it. But they will feel about it just as we felt about France. We, of does ing, from brothels to churches, course, demand that they think as we do, because our people can not understand how anybody could think one thing when the other thing is perfectly plain to us. Therefore, our government dare hot face our people with the propo- sition that there are other processes of thought than ours. Neither, of course, is it easy for the other gov- ernments to face their peoples with the proposition that we will not dis- cuss what to them seems perfectly obvious, because the opposite seems undiscussably obvious to us. Understanding the other fellow’s thinking is far Harder than any sac- rifices which the debt payments can involve. Doubtless, on some basis, some settlement will be made, The chief obstacle is not money, but thinking. And don't blame the other fellow for not thinking our way, until you have yourself mastered the task of understanding how he can think his way. PRESIDENTS ARE QUITE CHEAP Presidents are cheap. The kaiser had his civil lists of millions, his al- lowances of millions more, and his crown revenues of other millions. Hindenburg has just had his sal- ary raised to forty-five thousand a year, with free “keep” for his house. Doubtless, if the Reich were pros- perous, twice that would not be be- grudged. But all the salaries of all the pres- idents in the world combined would scarcely keep one royal castle. FABLES 0! Some folk can sleep in a boiler fac- tory. Others are driven to nervous frenzy by the barking of a dog, five blocks away. Pathologists have agreed, however, that sharp and sudden noises are a cause for nervous disorders. One's muscles’ may rest in the midst of noise, but nerve centers continue to get the hammer blows through the auditory nerves. And without complete rest the strongest nervous system will ulti- mately break down .with nervous exhaustion or with some specific nerve disorder. Income taxes may be cut 12 per cent next year, giving some that much less to dodge. Toronto judge rules a kiss by the roadside is ‘disorderly. We rule some are ordéred. Personality. consists of impressing others without trying. One all wrapped up in himself is ready to be carried out. Another Balkan ruler has been called on account of reign.

New York, May 29.—A “revel is offered the old-timer at the pub- lic library. Those who visited or lived here a generation ago would find two exhibits in the library just about the most interesting thing in town. One ig the Eno collection of prints and the other a collection of photographs and programs of the stage for the past 60 years. Prints of scenes of the old days were collected by Amos F. Eno who lived 81 years, at Fifth avenue ahd Tenth street. There are prints of lotteries on the old City Hall steps; the brewery at Five Points, torn down in 1852 by the Ladi Missionary Society; the forerunner of the subway, a sleigh car being pulled by eight pairs of horses along Broadway; a boy peddling shoes hung from a stick; and the famous Crystal Palace that stood on the site apt Park, low, times have changed in three quarters of @ ceritiry is aptly illus- trated in a series showing the evolu- tion of the co of Fifth avenue treet.

A person who lives in the midst of noise gets no really complete rest, day or night. Asleep ‘or awake, the nerve centers are constantly receiving a torrent of irritating impulses. No bedroom should face a street where there is auto or street car traffic all night. It is much better to have a bed- room overlooking an alley, garages, ‘and neighbors’ back yards, provid- ing there are no cats nor dogs, than to have it looking out over the street lights and all-night traffic.

That was re- office building Interest in the theatrical collec- tion is divided between the por- traits on the wall and the living por- traits in the gallery. . Old-time ac- tors and actresses amble along in grand manner from photograph to photograph, living in the dull embers of a past glory. “Well, well! There's John Drew. I played with him in ‘95. And Otis Skinner. The old fel- low's still playing.” Young flappers come to admire Lillian Russell. And Phoebe Russell, too. There is a great portrait of Joseph Jefferson. And announcements of “Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the appear- ance of Richard Mansfield and Hazel Kirk. And here you see players of a former generation who still trod the boards.. Mrs. Fiske and Francis Wilson. The latter once gave up @ salary of $150 a week for $15 a week in a legitimate role. These portraits will hang until September and until then the. gal- lery will be the mecca of many who will come to catch one last glimpse of scenes of the long ago. My favorite success story concerns Tony, the bootblack at Grand Cen- tral Station. He is 70 and has been shining shoes 50 years. Any fellow who holds one job 50 years, no mat- ter what, seems a great success to me. ~—JAMES W. DEAN. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) poe ‘| LITTLE JOE | fc eR NETS en gn A a IR NC
