Whiting, East Chicago, Crown Point and Gary have ■eported that they.will complete their work by the end of the week. Union county has also produced its thare of the state fund. The Union ■ounty quota of $939, was given to ‘he Home Service Appeal from the war chest fund. The action was taken on the recommendation of the Union county post of the American Legion, which took the position that he Salvation Army should receive the ■•ame recognition as the war organizations, because of the service the army’s representatives performed for 'he mendzones. he sale of $15,000 worth of improvenent bonds and other matters.

As is well known. her earliest books, including ! fiction, contained much about her studies of birds in the Limberlost forest and marshes in northeastern Indiana. 1 and her camera records of them. Mrs. ■ Porter has written many novels, but bird life has been a source of deeper and more absorbing interest to her. As a small girl living on a farm she became interested in the flying creatures and soon gained the name “Little Bird Woman.” Birds have never lost their fascination for her and in this book she relates many anecdotes about them and gives as a result of her i close observation the conclusions she has .arrived at concerning the trails and qualities of various families of birds—the extent of their intelligence, whether or not they have a sense of humor, how birds know, and so on. The more she has studied birds the more she has liked them, and because she writes with, wide knowledge and keen interest, she writes entertainingly. The illustrations, as usual in her bird books, the reproductions of photographs taken by herself. The book will interest readers of any age. but would boos especial value io children in teaching them that there is greater attraction in the study of Ijirds and their habits than in shooting or trapping them or robbing them nests. Mrs. Porter testifies from personal observation to the damage done by English sparrows to other birds. They kill young robins, eat robins’ eggs and when they can oat no more throw the remaining eggs front the nests. (Doubleday. Page &• Co.)

Widespread support of the special drive against inun-enurod fires In the Nation’s public mid private forests is indicated in reports received here by the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, regarding the observance of Forest Protection and Fire-Prevention Week which opened Muy 23 in many western states. The campaign to reduce the damage by conflagrations, amounting ’annually to* millions of dollars, has 1 received the hearty endorsement i f 'civic bodies, business organizations, | churches, schools, and colleges. The - response has been particularly enthu ij iastie in the nine states: California. Colorado. Idaho. Mryitana, Wyomini'. ; South Dakota. Utaha, Oregon, and , Washington, whose .governors officially I designated the current seven days as I 1 “Fire-Prevention We4k." E. T. Meredith, secretary of Agri culture, on receipt of reports show- ' ing the earnest support given this 1 now crusade to eliminate carelessne, in' handling fire in the forests, b-i- --; written each of the governors in the nine states a congratulatory letter, in the course of which he declares: “Ont ' decreasing timber and paper supplies are beginning to make clear to ill the need for concerted action. The states and the nation must join hand.in the effort to halt forest destruction Not only as sources of permanent sup plies of timber, but also as conserve tors of water supplies, our forests ar essential to our industrial, economi--and social welfare.” Fire-prevention week originated with the Natural P:irk association n! Seattle, and has quickly spread from ' state to state, indicating tht the pul lie now recognizes the peril involved ' in continued carelessness in the forjests. “The great out-of-doors, ours '<> enjoy, not to destroy,’’ is the keynot l of the many slogans which, aceord- ' ign to reports, are being conspicuous!■ j displayed by participants in this popn lar movement.
