TEETH PUT If J LEVER ACT BY VOTE IN HOUSE iProvisions to Include Clothing, Fuel and Other Necessities.

WASHINGTON', Aug. 23. Without amendment and with practically no opposition, the House late Friday voted to amend the Lever food control act to

extend Its provisions to Include clothing, containers of food, feed or fertilizers, fuel, ofl and implements used in production of necessities, and to penalize profiteering by a $5,000 fine or two years' Imprisonment , Proposals to make the act apply to profiteering in house and room rents, adopted by the House committee of the whole, were stricken out in the final vote. Efforts were made by both Republicans and Democrats to have the amended provision over necessities other than those included in the amendments as reported by the agriculture commltte. Inclusion of kerosene and gasoline was proposed by Representative Strong, Republican, Kansas, who said the prices of these products had increased 300 percent, in the last two years, but this amendnien was rejected by a close vote, while that of Representative Newton, Republican, Mennesota, to include raw cotton was eliminated on a point of order by Representative Blanton, Democrat, Texas. Farmers Not Included Attempts to hrlng farmers and farm organizations within the Jurisdiction of the amendment also were blocked. Recommendations of "Attorney General Palmer to include retailers doing a business of less than $100,000 under the profiteering section so that the Department of Justice might "go after the little ones" were included In the measure as passed. Five hours of general debate preceded the passage of the measure the first legislative step In carrying out the recommendations of President Wilson In his recent address to Congress on the high cost of living.

"Bird Man" Pleads For Feathered ; Folk; Imitates Their, Singing

FINAL PROGRAM OF SEXTETTE PRAISED

-The final appearance' of the Bostonia sextette on the Chautauqua stase Friday evening earned lasting honors. Richmond people hope this organization will return to play for them again, and a remark of the director, L. C. Staats, that such a thing mifcht be possible nejxt winter, was hailed with delight back-stape. The program. as announced, was given last evening, the eoloists appearing to splendid advantage. The overture was Boleldieu's "La Dame Blanche, a number of great possibilities. It was splendidly done, rich tone and orchestration of great volume being produced. "La Volombe," (The Dove) was changed by request by the fitring quintette to "The Virgin's Dream," which was played Thursday afternoon with such marked success. This muted, delicate number was easily heard in the big tent, partly because of its perfect tone and partly because of the close attention given it by the audience.

With her splendid voice in "My

Love is a Muleteer," Miss Lamport,

soprano soloist, again charmed her

audience to such an extent that they

insisted she return twice with encores. She sang "My Little Sunflower Goodnight" first, and her second encore was a melodious number, "In Your Eyes." Miss Lamport proved her ability and her artistic nature with every appearance in Richmond, and she will be greeted with enthusiasm should she return in either a concert of her own or with the sextette. Henneberg's intermezzo, "L'Armour de Papilla" was the next sextette number and was given in an estimable manner. Filled with melody and taking rythym, airs from "Maytime" the popular musical play of the past two years, was greatly enjoyed as the closing number, i

A bird would not have been more real than Charles C Gorst, the bird man who appeared as the principal speaker of .the evening1 on the Chautauqua stage Friday evening. Gorst has made the study and love of birds not only a hobby but an extremely Interesting profession and through hi3 entertainment many persons were convinced that there la a lot about birds they hadn't known before. Mr. Gorst had interfered in bird love affairs, he has peeked in on lots of family squabbles of the birds, and he knows so much about his feathery friends that his audience sat entranc

ed while he talked and sang for them. I ... . t i j

his lecture was one or tne aeciaeu. hits of the Chautauqua season. "The Spring Song" by Mendelssohn, whistled in the tones of the mocking bird, was the opening representation of Gorst, who imitated perfectly a large number of feathered creatures. Gorst's "bird hunts" are not like those of the ordinary boys, he pointed out. He showed his young friends down in the front row and elsewhere in the tent where they miss it when they go out and kill birds. "You don't get the bird when you kill it. for the bird is not a dead body, but the song, the feathers, the interest and usefulness combined. . These are never found in the dead body you bring back. , " "I love a cat, and I don't blame a cat for being a cat, but I do think we should destroy every stray cat we see, and license our own cats and watch them carefully. You know the mildest appearing cat will look into your eyes, purr around your feet and then go right out and eat all the birds he can find. We ought to put up bird boxes, too," said the speaker. Birds are Useful. "The department of agriculture tells us that certain insects eaten by the birds multiply rapidly enough to eat everything green in the United States and leave us in the face of starvation.

Now in face of the fact that all the birds in Indiana together would be able to eat 54 freight cars of Insects a day, it behooves us to protect the birds. I wish I could tell you in dollars and cents the value of our birds, but I cannot do that. "Women are guilty of a considerable crime who wear birds on their

hats which they do not know are more valuable to them than to the fields," the speaker said. "The Maryland yellow throat has more than one way of singing the same song. He also sounds like a kiss five yards away. They also believe in 'letting the women do tho work.' English Sparrow Vocal !3t. "An English sparrow has a richer voice than a canary if he knew how to use it. I have heard the wood thrush in Texas and New Hampshire at the same time of year singing exactly alike. The most complete tsong I have ever heard a bird sing is that of the wood pewee who can eing four

. "A child is never too young to begin, musical training, provided the teacher is the right sort," said F. W. J. Lewis, 'celloist of the Bostonla Sextette Club, who teaehes- music in Boston, Mass. He teaches not only the 'cello but all the strings and brasses. Lewis spoke of Will Earhart, now of Pittsburgh's public schools but formerly instructor of music in the Richmond public schools, Gidding of Minneapolis, and a few others, as among the really worthy Instructors of children in America. . "These people do not say now here is a scale; this is a flat; this is a sharp; such and such a time. Such pedogogy in a very short time wearies and disgusts the child and even the most conscientious teacher who does this will meet with the reverse of success with young pupils," eald he. "Instead, the great teacher appeals to the child's imagination, to its ear, and natural liking for interesting things. Men like Earhart can gather the children around them in flocks. The children are 'crazy about them. Earhart awakens their imaginations ad sets them to thinking about the song. And you know when a child, or grown person either has begun thinking about anything half the battle is over. Taught Two Year Old Child ' A two year old child was once Lewis's pupil. He started the Infant

on a very small violin, and while the results were so childish as to seem almost useless, he said he believed it was none too young. The uniqueness of holding the instrument and doing something with It appealed to the chMd, and with its plastic brain to work upon he would have vouched for something worthwhile When the child was seven ox eight years old, he said. "I heard music when a child all day long and a good part of the night, and music to me was a matter of course; something natural and interesting the same as talking. You don't remember when you first began to talk, do you? Neither would you remember when you began to study music If you had heard it as mnoh a

you did talking.

Audiences Appreciative. Practically every member of the Boston Sextette club mentioned the appreciation which they received in Richmond. They had not often obtained the same attention and appreciation, they said. "I have been especially interested in the attention of the little children," said Lewis, and Murray, the first violinist, immediately backed him in the statement. "At first I wondered how it could be. I saw that it was not alone the re

straining Influence of the platform manager. He might have some influence. In keeping them sitll, hut he could not force them to really listen to music Since I have , heard that Mr. Earhart was here originally and that you have continued this public school Work, I understood the cause. Your children know some of the things to look and listen for.

The great common sense of the human race says "Go to bed when you're tired; get up when you're rested"

JUST how long it take to get rested depends on how "deep" yoa teep. Pevhapt you are one of the lucky Individuals who are "dead to the world" when you aleep. But if you are only about half asleep all night, towing about and waking at every little sound, you can stay in bed twenty four hours and still need sleep. Sleeping soundly is a matter of getting perfectly relaxed. Tha slightest noise keep the nerve alert. What yoo need for deep, sound sleep all night ia a prrfeetly fuwt brd and a spring that itwiui tompUu rtUxaticu. That is why people sleep so much better In the Simmons Metal Bed and Slumber King Spring.
