Besides being the inspir ation of much pootry and other Uter aturo. birds are of Inestimable eco nomic, scientific and educational value. Though women no longer adorn their hats with waving plumes, many men are today engaged in raising plume birds in large numbers, for new purposes constantly increase the demand for the beautiful plumage. Domestication of the birds followed the passage of laws protecting the wild birds from the dcpradatlous of plume hunters. Birds have through the centuries proved their usefulness by protecting mankind from the otherwise uncon trollable spread of noxious weeds, in sects, rodents' and various other pests. Most people of this locality are familiar with the story of how tho people of the Great Salt Lake Valley, in pioneer days, were saved from starvation when great flocks of gulls swooped down to interrupt the depredations of a plagxie of locusts. The English Sparrow was originally Imported Into the New England states lor the purposo of exterminating the ennker worm which was threatening to destroy tho trees. The sparrows fulfilled that purpose and then adapted themselves to a diet of seeds luced Fares East Unusually low fares are now in effect orcr our lines.

The ocean beaches ond river banks would be unpleasantly odiferous were it not for tho gulls that eat the refuse which Is washed up on the shores. Vultures keep des ert regions clean, while the crows and magpies function In non-desert regions. The birds locate the refuse tnrougu their acute vision, ana not by the sense of smell. The killing of hawks and other predacious birds is an unwise meas ure. The sparrow hawks are those most ofton killed, and thoy aro the beet controllers of grasshoppers and rodents. In 1885 Pennsylvania placed a bounty on predacious birds and certain mammale. In a year and a half the state paid out $00,000 in bounties. But it was shown by au thorities that the killing of the hawks saved not more than 92,000 worth of chickens, while if they had been allowed to live they would have saved $4,000,000 worth of crops from destruction by field mice. So the bounty law was repealed. Bounties on birds have always dono more harm than good, for birds ore the farmers' friends. It is estimated that in Iowa alone tree sparrows eat 876 tons of seeds which, If allowed to grow, would cause the farmer end loss expense In overcoming weeds.

Protection of migratory birds has led to a Pan-American bird I treaty which calls for occasional ! meetings of members from all tho j nations of the New World. Bird i banding and other activities of bird ! clubs throughout the world are suc t ceedlng In bringing various national ! ltles of men together to work for a common objective, thus aiding tne cause of world fellowship. Birds have been of great value to men in the study of various problems of aviation. The sport of gliding has been perfected as a result of study ing the flight of birds, ond many elements in the design and structure of planes were suggested by birdB. Birds are used as food by most peoples, the chicken, duck, goose and turkey being most common in the United States, but in some countries birds are used to secure other food. Fish eating birds aro raised by men who fasten rings around their throats and toko them out onto bays; they catch llvo fish which are taken from them by their masters, and as a re ward tho birds aro allowed to cat every fifth or sixth fiah caught.

Threes KATHERINE AND BILL what fun it is to know them! They seem to get so much out of living-. You met them just a little over a year ago the week be fore they were married. Ten days later it gave you a pleasant glow of anticipation to receive the trim card telling you when they'd be "at home." And today you got another card, headed "Now we are three!" Bill's signature comes first, then Kather ine's and then the guided, chubby scrawl of the new comer, Jeremy. " ' You happen to know that although he is in line for an important promotion, Bill's present salary isn't large. Most other young' couples would consider themselves "up against it" if they had to manage on so little. Yet Katherine and Bill maintain a standard of living that is the admiration of all their friends. You know how they do it, for Katherine has told you. They budget all expenditures. : And .when they decide a purchase is to be made, whether it is a new shade for the reading lamp, or a suit for Bill, or shoes for Katherine, they study the advertisements until they find just what they want for the price they can pay. Careful, budgeted buying of consistently adver tised merchandise enables them to get the most out of their dollars. It's a wise baby that picks parents like these.
