Some Novtl Bird Houses.
.'- , ORANT It, HTDE.
Tell us hour to build some bird
bouses that -re - different, Unde
Bot something that the other fcl
' lows haven't built" ',
"If you know what bird houses
should be lite, Sonny," came the
prompt reply, 4 you ought' to be able
- to see ideas in any pile of boxes or
tin cans. The birds don't care about
the beauty of their hqmes.,, They
; seek safety and shelter, All that a
: bird house netdrbe is merely a box
' pna can-that is wreather-proof. It
- should . have a . perch.-. The door
should ; be from ltf to 1 inches
across, depending on the size of the
tird'yd wish to attract It must
be out of reach -bjf cats and other
enemies of birds. ' Mere are some

; "I hope we won't catch cold !" ex
claimed Lucy, a. trifle nervously,
"maybe it wonf rain any more, but
the ground's just sopping 1"
Chunk his f name was Chester,
but everyone called him "Chunk"
grinned cheerfully at his sister.
"Don't worry, Sis," he said, "you
won't catch cold. I've got the Merit
Badge for Camping in my Boy Scout
troop. Why, I'd be disgraced if you
caught coldl Couldn't let that hap
pen." -
"But the ground's sopping,", she
repeated, not far from tears. v
"Jt won't be when I get through
with it," declared Chunk. . - .
And he set to work to build a roar
ing fire on the best level piece of
,w2r (Mm
designs' that will start .you on the
track of novel ideas: -.
"The bird apartment house (Fig.
1 X is made of several flat boxes (say
18 inches square and 6 inches .high)
set dn top of a pole and covered
with roor". Each box should have
our doors and should be divided
ntOi four apartments, as shown. The
boxes may be set squarely, on top
of each other, c diagonally to pro
vide perches. . v" V
' "The-bird tower tFig.' 2) is made
of several tin cans, set on top of
each other with an old funnel for a
roof. Boil the cans to remove the
labels and to clean them. Cut each
j door so that .tne tin nap mat is cur
C may be bent out for a perch. Boards
v may be placed between, to fasten tne
J cans together, or upright sticks out-
- idi mav he iised. ,:' ,
- "Th bird cabin (Fig.,3) consists

blaze so hot that it was hard to get
near enough to stoke it
. "It's jolly and warm," Lucy ad
mitted, "my things are' all dry now.
But it'll be cold on the ground, just
the same. Where, are you going to
put the tent Chunk?"
"Right there," he answered point

WHY?--
do stars twinkle?
(Copjrlfht, b TThaaUr ya-
dlaata, Ina.) ' .
The , "stars are . really suns
which are continually throw
ing off . light, precisely as our
sun . is throwing it off. This
light passes through different
layers of air and vapor before
it reaches our eyes. These layers,
being of different thickness or
density, make the light, of the
star appear to flicker or twinkle,,
just as a motion - picture film
which is run too slowly flickers.
The light is reduced in intensity
by one layer of air and increased
by the next, with the result that
it appears to shiver a condition
which we have described by the
word "twinkle."
- Dust in the air causes this
twinkling to appear greater, to
be magnified or accentuated.
Dust also gives rise to rain, as
each particle of it forms the nu
cleus for a rain drop. This, then,
is the scientific foundation for
the old weather proverb that
When the stars begin to twinkle,
soon the earth will be a-psrinkle."
Tomorrow's Question WHY
do we close our eyes when we
sleep? . , ; .

. Brick Yard Loses
Residents in the vicinity of Mar
tha street, between Twenty-first and
Twenty-fourth streets, ,were sus
tained by a majority of the city
council yesterday when they pro
tested -against the proposed estab
lishment of a brick yard by the
Smith Brick company in their nefgh
borhood. Mayor Smith and Com
missioner Towl voted for' the brick
yard.
"I'm going to let that ' one out.
You'll see.".
Before very long the big fire be
gan to die down and Chunk, cutting
a stick with a crotch to it, pulled
away the smouldering logs that re
mained, lighting the new fire with
them. -
"Now," he said, "we'll put the tent
on the spot where the fire was. It'll
be warm and as dry as a bone."
, It was, and when Lucy awakened
in the morning, she declared that she
had slept as cosily as in her own
bed at home. As for a cold, , she
didn't even have a snuffle! 4

. Dutch Twins at Market -
A large woman with a big basket
on her arm came along to the small
stall where Kit and Kat were sitting.
"Bless my heart!" she said. "Are
you twins?' '. " '
"Yes, ma'am,"., said Kit and Kat.
And Kat said. "WeVe S years old."
"O my soul!" said the large wo
man. "So your are! What are your
names?". " , .
' "Christopher and Katrina, but they
call us Kit and Kat for short'.' It
was Kat who said this. And Kit said:
"When we are four feet and a half
high, we are going to be. called
Christopher and Katrina."
"Welt, well, welll" said the large
woman. "So you are! Now, my name
is Vrouw Van der Kloot. Are you
helping father?"
"Yes," said the twins. - "We're
going to help him sell things." '
"Then you may sell me a cabbage
and 10 onions," said Vrouw Van der
Kloot " v
Fr. Vedder's eyes twinkled, and he
smoked his pipe. Kit got a cabbage
for the Vrouw. s
"You can get 10 onions." he said
to Kat. You see, really Kit Couldn't
count 10, and be sure of it. And so
he asked Kat to do it.
.Kat wasn't afraid. She took out a
little pile of onions in a measure and
said to Vrouw Van der Kloot:
"Is that 10?" . . '
Then Vrouw Van der Kloot count
ed them with Kat, very carefully.
There were 11, and so she gave back
one. Then she gave Kat the money
for the onions and Kit the money
for the cabbage.
. Father Vedder said:
. "Now, Kit and Kat, by and by,
when you get hungry Ttprain, you
can go over to Vrouw Van der
Kloot's stall and buy - something
from her. She. keeps the sweetie
shoo."
"Oh! Oh!" cried Kit and Kat
"We're hungry yetl Can't we go
now?"
"No. not now,'' said father. "We
must do some wort first"
The twins helped Father Vedder
long time,f-They learned to count
:10 and to-do several other things.
Then their father gave them the
money for the cabbage and the 10
onions they had sold "to Vrouw Van
der Kloot, and said:
"You may walk around the market
and look in all the stalls and buy
the thing, you like best that costs
just two cents. Then come back
here to me.' - i . . '
Kit and Kat set forth on their
travels to see the world. They each
held the money tightlyshut in one
hand, and with the other they held
on to each other;
"The world is very large," said
Kit and Kat

Carriers Take Action
To Improve Freight
Car Supply in U. SI
Washington, March 30. Con
certed action to improve the freight
car, supply, especially coal carrying
equipment,' has been taken by all
railroads. The movement, which is
fostered by the American Railroad
association, is intended primarily to
aid in coal production, but officials
said it served also, and in an im
portant way, to relocate cars oft
home lines "from which they were
diverted aud widely scattered, our;
inir federal control.
; W. C. Kendall, chairman of the
car service commission of the rail
road association, sent telegrams, to
all lines directing them to return
coal cars promptly to mines from
which they can be loaded for -destinations
on their home roads.' The
western systems particularly were
instructed to rush eastern-owed
cars to their home lines because in
the east the effects of the coal strike
have been most felt. ;
