MAGAZINE PAGE. Clippings From Daily Papers BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. is, perhaps, more es- sential than in cutting clippings from newspapers when one dis- covers something of value. There is a peculiar elusiveness about these items. They seem to hide themselves away from the most careful second perusal of the paper. It takes a sur- Tnl necessity of immediate action ond V in the side margin of the paper. Have this also exactly in line with the item. These two V's act like arrows to point the eye directly to what is ited. wan! The other method is very similar. | Instead of tearing the paper mark the | margin or margins with a heavy red, | blue or sofe black pencil. On the top maj write in bold letters the one “Keep.” It is s mistake not !'»Ohmll; lrellga_ with the name of the |r'.‘ln‘dlh of issue. This deflnlkf; tabu- | lates the clipping and gives its time of | | appearance. Such margins make old | el valuable sometimes, when | m&o\.“"‘?m their worth is nullified. | Dates are esesntial, the name of the paper makes it traceable, and is its| verification. SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. | Bluebirds. | _If birds all said their names or looked | their names, ornithology would not so bristle with difficulties. The bluebird looks like a bluebird and no mistake about it. You wouldn't mistake him for a bluejay, for the color and size are ut- terly different, and though I think the incigo bunting more beautiful, he is | rare_here—too rare for most of us to | see him at all, and he isn’t one-half so | lovable. The bluebird has an engaging way of | citting in plain sight on a stump and | singing and singing, or on a haystack in a fleld, out where the suburbs of the city end and the farms begin. Bluebirds sing with earliest Spring, or even—bless thelr hearts!—in Midwinter. In flight they look rather like swallows. They have the same forked tails and the same ease. The song is not perhaps a very impressive performance. It would Inot be rated among the great roles of Nature, but rather in the class of pretty ballads. | " Nothing is so sure to ruin a reputa- tion as becoming too popular. The blue- | bird got abroad in the popular mind as |the symbol of happiness—due perhaps | to Maeterlinck’s original and delightful | play. The result was that commercial- ized art and design began to capitalize | the bluebirds's modest charms, and gartenry have brought the bluebird into that disgrace with real naturalists that has befallen the hepatica, the trailing arbutus, the nightingale and the jack- in-pulpit and all orchids in general. Nai are tired of time-worn ecsta- cies over these really lovely life-forms and prefer to discover something un- discovered and wing its praises. But isn't it about time to return the blvebird to a natural place in our af- fections? A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. VER since Senator J.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Bue was just about 6 months had kicked and gurgled and cooed her way meml{ through life thus far. Nancy only hoped that her baby's good nature would continue. She found that Susan was quite con- tent when she was placed on a soft, warm on the r with pillows close at hand and a ball which never stayed, st to say, where Susan last saw it. incy had read that child vised a ball as one of Susan’s first ball was about 3 inches in diameter. small enough for her hands to grasp fairly easily. As she grew in size and Bab old. her muscles became better co-ordi- nated, Nancy bought larger and larger balls. Usually she chose a bright-col- ored one. As the days grew warmer and there | was less danger of drafts, Nancy used to pt her, almost entirely undressed, | down on the rug. Something about the security and solidity of the floor be- neath the rug seemed to give Susan pleasure and assurance. Some of Nancy's relatives thought she overly fussy, inasmuch as she kept Peter and Joan away from Sue when- ever one of the children showed the slightest indisposition. But Nancy was sure she was being kind and not hard- hearted—kind to the baby and to the baby’'s health. Sunshine, orange juice. cod lver oil, regular hours day in and day out, had made Susan a strong, well and happy baby. Star Patterns Smart Street Costume.

Intellectual Heritage. | It has often been sald that the hu- | man intellect grows so slowly you ean't notice it, that no change has been no- | ticed in the intelligence of men during | the last 5,000 years. ‘Why, if all this is true, do we call ours the “age of intelligence"? explanation is somewhat as follows: All the great intellects of the past have in- vented one thing after another and handed them on to us. In other words, we have inherited, by way of lore, Ii- brary or machine, the best of the world's great ideas. So we can not say defl- nitely that this is an age of intelligence. We can only say that we have fallen !heir to an accumulation of enlighten- The | ment. Our enlightened age gets its light from men who have long since perished from the earth. However all this may be, there's an- | other side to the story of intellectual heritage. It appears that we. the bene- | ficiaries of the past, have oy that token | become the guardians of the future. It is up to modern man to control the application enlightenment — ideas, machines arid so forth. We must find new and better uses for our herttage of enlightenment.
