He was probably the very first bird we learned to call by name. The early English colonists wio had doubtless been brought up, like the rest of us on ‘“The Babes in the Wood"’ named the bird after the only heroes in that melancholy tale, but in reality the American robin is a much larger bird than the English robin red-breast and less brilliantly colored. John Burroughs ¢alls him of all our birds “the most native and democratic. There is an old Breton legend which accounts for the coloring of the robh- in’s breast as vollows; “On seeing ihe suffering of our Lord on the Cross, the robin in pity plucked a thorn from the torturing crown. The blood from the tender heart of the robin gushed forth as the sharp thorn en- tered his own breast producing the crimson stain that remains to this day.” If you will watch the bough of an old apple tree you will see him hop- | in the morning you will hear him sin | copper in making war munitions.

If the product were made contraband it would be stopped in the same manner. The principal differ- ence would be that if cotton were con- traband, shipments from America, which were suspected of being for education of the bankers and farmers of the south in a comprehensive plan of marketing which will remove from the market in the early part of the season all distress cotton. The means for accomplishing this result, the bank- ers believe, is proper warehousing and advances to farmers by local banks throughout the south, who will take as security proper warehouse receipts and insurance policies. This plan, it is declared, will afford relief to the growers who are in im- mediate need of funds at the opening of the picking season, will insure a more nearly uniform price throughout | the market season and will result in . ultimate benefit to the grower, the banker and the spinner, and through these to the whole population of the south. Visiting bankers were unanimous in declaring that the new federal reserve bank system will be a vital factor in making their gradual marketing plans possible. They point out that there should be no repetition of the “dump- € mormally low levels last year follow- enemy, constitutes a complicated Ing” of cotton which sent prices to ab- ' problem of great dimensions. ing'the outbreak of the European war. | Action Only Against Foe. “We are interested only in keeping ! cotton out of Germany. | do not object to its going to neutral be liable to confiscation court procedure if proof were ob- tainable of German destination, whercas now the cotton is seized but not necessarily confiscated. “In any case, whether contraband or not, the by pri cotton is allies must American growers must be given their market in neutral countries even if | they are adjacent to Germany, and the industries of those countries must have the cotton required for thei own needs.

Besides being a general good fellow, Robin is a most useful and industrious citizen. M Robin demands very fine grass with which to line her v nest, and, when the baby robins arrive they have such enormous appe- tites that it keeps both Mr. and Mrs. Robin on the jump to supply their steady demand for fresh earth worms, Have you ever watched a Robin strutting across the lawn as if the whole world belonged to him? Ana have you ever noticed how deftly he pounces on and literaly drags the long worm out of the ground? Indeed, he should be the envy of every youthiul fisherman who longs for good bait but oes not like the work of digging for co: 1t Ornithologists say that a young robin in the nest requires a daily su - ply of animal food equivalent to coi.- | siderably more than its own weight, 1 and so we can form some idea of {ihe good that cven baby robins do. Robins include in their daily menu: whit grubs, beetles, cutworms, grasshop- erpillars, larvae of the gypsy the brown tail moth, the forest tent moth, canker worms, leaf eating and army moths. In fact, it has been not- ed that when robins are scarce the a.- my worms advances.

The protectio of insectivorous birds is one of the most effective means of preventl much of this unnecessary loss, and the public is rapidly awakening to the importance of this form of conser- vation. Every family of birds plays its own MISS SARA CARROLL pers, crickets, moths, ants, wasps, cat- | moth, wood boring beetles, wirc worms, and ! the | any part of this loss can be prevenied | part in the warfare against insects and other foes to mans’ industry and con- tributes its share to man’'s welfare. The value of birds to the farmer is plain enough, but we do not usually think of birds as having any direct re- lation to the public health. To prove that they do, however it is only neces sary to state that 500 mosquitoes hav been found in the stomach of a single night hawk. As mosquitoes ure known to cary the germs of such a se- rious diseases as malaria it is evident that by destroying them, birds are confering an important benefit on man. The robin dominates birddom with his strong aggressive personalit his voice rings out strong and clear in the carly morning chorus, and more ten- derly subdued at twilight, it still rises above all the sleepy notes about him, whether lightly tripping over the lawn after the “‘early worm” or rising with his sharp quick cry of alarm when startled, to his nest ncar by. Every motion is decided, alert, and free. No pensive hermit of woods, like his counsins, the thrush is this joyous, vigorous bird of the morning. Such a presence is inspirit- | ins. No bird excels the robin in the var- | iety of vocal expression, no other bird is able to give so many shades of meaning to a single note. From the | soft coaxing note of the dove to the | harsh quick notes of rage, and here the robin seems more nearly human than any of its kind. There is nothing that attracts more | birds about the house than a drinking | dish, large enough for a bath tub as well and certainly no hird delights n sprinkling the water over his back more than the robin, often aided in | his ablutions by the spattering of tne sparrows. A drinking fountain may be purchased ready for use or manu- factured at home. Any shallow r>- ceptacle will do, but it must be raiscd above the reach of lurking cats. While the robin is famous splasher, his neat- ness stops there. A robins nest is no- toriously dirty within, and so careless- ly constructed of weed stalks, grasses, and mud that a heavy summer shower brings more robins nests to the ground then we like to think about.” The col- or of the eggs as every one knows has | given their name to the tint. Four is the number of eggs laid and two broods are often reared in the same nest. Too much stress has been laid on the mischief done by the robins in the i cherry trees and strawberry patches | and too litle upon the quantity of worms and insects they devour. The American robins really prefers fruits when they can get them, and the man who wants to free his orchard of insects should allow a tree or two for the birds or plant some wild mul- berries (which ripen about the same time as the cherry) for these profit- able tenants of field and orchard. Bird houses providing shelter cau be made at practically no expen. ana your time and, effort will be amp- ly repaid by these jolly litle tenants. They may be made of three stumus ! real or artificial, boxes, cottages, bai- rel houses, flower pots, tin cans, | shelves, ana all kinds of contraptions. | Mr. Ernest Thomson Seton went so | i :ar as to construct on his place a huge { artifical stump filed with imitati,n wood pecker holes. Robins may encouraged by shelves conveniently placed beneath the roofs of piazzas or sheds. If we attract the birds in summer we | must furnish them with proper nest- ing places, shelter food, and also W ter, and if we want to keep them 1 winter we must again furnish them with cover and food; and always pro- tect them from their enemies. The | food consists of crumbs, suet, millet, hemp, rape seed, and the like.

Message Made Her Blue. “When I saw that letter, 1 felt blue —oh, so blue,” she said when Captain Taylor talked with her last night. ‘I almost wanted to die.” 3 “Why did you go to Boston instead of continuing on the train to New York, where your aunt was to meet you?” she was asked. ‘Wanted to See Boston. “Only because I wanted to see Bos- ton,” was her reply. Young Miss Guidone said that after her father helped her onto the train which left Hartford at 8:26 o'clock Monday morning she rode only as far as New Haven. She corroborated the story of Mrs. George T. Griswold of No. 24 Imlay street, Hartford, who re- ported seeing the girl in New Haven. Changed Ticket at New Haven. “I walked up Meadow street and went into the Yellow building,” she said. “I had a round trip ticket for New York and I asked them to change it for a ticket to New London. They did change the ticket for me, and they paid me the difference in fare. I don’t think T was in New Haven for more than an hour. From that city T ! went to New London, but I found I didn’t care very much about staying there, so I got onto a trani that went to Norwich.” The girl told Captain Taylor, who afterwards repeated the story over the long distance telephone, that she stayed over night in Norwich. That was Monday night, of course. She registered at the Wauregan hotel with an assumed name. Went to Boston. “The next day,” she said, “I went to Boston by way of Putnam.

I asked him if there were any hotels that were only for ladies, and he said that there were none.
