LETTERS Why Not Be Editor The Star; I was Interested in Dr. Barton's story of the golf links and the sparrow. It also reminded me/of a letter some one wrote as to why Washing: ton has Mo song birds. I spent the autuma on the Puyallup river, near Orting. All my spare tme was passed in the woods and climbing near-by hills, and in ali that time I saw no bird life whatever, except some crows and phesants; nor did I see more than two bird nests—unoo ec I wondered then at the scarcity of birds, whose presence and variety we take as @ matter of course back East. The letter stated that it was because you have here no natural Srowth of wild berries, seeds, etc.. upon which the birds can feed. Why not plant some? Why not teach the children what to plant and how to take care of the birds after they have been coaxed into one’s county, or city, or back yard? ‘The bird hikes are good, but not all children can get to go, and, anyway, why hike to see a bird if there's no bird there to see? Why cannot Se attle have a bird sanctuary, where birds of every sort and kind can come and nest with safety, where food is abundant all the year around, Banning Funerals on Sunday Editor The Star: Having noticed thru the columns of The Star that a few undertakers, ministers, taxi drivers, etc., have petitioned our city council to pase an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to bury our dead on Sunday, I would kind ly ask you to print this letter in the columns of The Star. I would Jike to ask these people If they are doing this for the good of the majority or to please the few who might be slightly incon. venienced by holding Sunday fu nerals. Has it really reached the stage when a few shall tel! us on what day we shall pay our respects to the memory of some departed friend or loved one? Having had an opportunity to ob- serve that a funeral service held on Sunday has the largest attendance, Money Value of Weddings It is estimated 100,006 couples wilt have been married in the United States this June, It may be conservatively figured that each couple will apend an average of $500 to start a home—a total in vestment of $50,000,000 in house hold furnishing». Each marriage adds a unit of energy to the baying power of the nation. It creates new demands for products of factory and farm, thus putting more hands to work, Each wedding ts a contribution to the national prosperity.

L. M CLARKE. jI taxe it for granted that it would jbe working a hardship on the ma jority to abolish Sunday funeral services. In these days of high prices many can not afford to lay off from their work, and if Sunday funerals-are abolished the majority of ux will not be able to pay our re. specta to the memory of our depart- ed friends, as much as we would jlike to, I don't belleve that It would be jwise to allow any combination of undertakers, ministers, ete. who in some degroe derive their livelihood from this source, to usurp the au |thority to tell us on what day we | shall bury our dead.

PETERSEN, 8906 Woodland Park Ave. Governor Hart’s $5,000 Bull Editor The Star: It is with great interest indeed that we note Gov ernor Hart's bull ts worth $5,000. We're rather skeptical in believing these figures, since we never sup posed any bull was worth that.
