Columbus Day Is Here Again Since this Is Columbus day one cannot help but think of how surprised that bold sailor would have been could he have foreseen the great vessels that dally cross the ocean over which, many years ago, he made so perilous a voyage. We read much of these big ocean liners as well as the great air ships and the courage of the men that are flying over land and sea. They courageous and yet they always know about what to expect when they reach the other side. How different it was with Columbus when, in 1-192, he set sail for an unknown world. Today no effort is spared to make our great ships as strong as possible that they may weather safely every storm. Many people cross the ocean not only once but several times a year. Think of the sea going ves sels ns they must have been In the time of Columbus. Often they were scarcely more than a shell. It must have taken great courage for Columbus to face the many hardships of that lonely voyage so long ago. Boys and girls of today love to read the story of that voyage and they try to imagine just how Columbus must have felt when at last he saw land. It always brings joy to anyone to make a dream come true through his own efforts and courage. If one can do no more on Columbus day than just to he grateful we are living in these times rather than the day of Columbus, it Is worth while. Every year many people who aro traveling In Italy visit the queer old house in Genoa where Columbus was born. It stands very close to the crooked old street that is so narrow that any two of you could almost shake hands across it. All the streets nearby twist and turn and as you walk along you think surely you are lost. Then many little Italian children will dash out from doorways and run after you. They know you are an American looking for the house where Columbus was born. They are eager to guide you to it. They watch you closely while you r^ad the tablet on the door. You wonder if perhaps they are not wishing they could see the great America their own Columbus discovered. They follow you down the street bowing and smiling their goodbys as you leave them. Colum bus and 1492 have seemed nearer ever since that summer day In Genoa and that search In the queer old street for the home of Columbus l.y “Run, Site- ; , .

It is always well to plan them so that the weather will not affect them. This week I made a feeding place out of a cocoanut. Bore a hole in one end. If you wish to feed small birds it is best to make tlie opening about the right size for them, otherwise the larger birds will eat all the food be fore the smaller ones have a chance. The cavity can be filled front time to time with chopped suet, nuts or oth er food mixtures and the birds, of course, eat the meat of the cocoanut too. Hang the corjmnut by a wire from a limb of a tree, if you cannot get a cocoanut you can use cans with small openings In the same way. , PETER.
