Bird Day Observed by Fine Arts De » parlment of Woman’s Club. The Woman’s Club is functioning right along, increasing in numbers and making its place in the community slowly but surely a very healthy sort of a growth. The Woman's Club has come to stay. There is no doubt of that, and as it should lie, is made up of a real representation *>f the town. The Fine Arts’ Department has giv in -several high clas;s entertainments and Thursday night's program in ev ery way carried out the ideals oF the department. The inspiration of the afternoon's exhibition of bird boxes end the night's program /was love its birds, to awaken an appreciation of their fast thinning ranks*. This can only come through education. The l>oys' bird boxes, for which prizes had lieen offered, were as pie j turesque—placed under huge boughs of dogwood—as our dainty feathered I friends themselves, and. I am sure, each Ihix would make any bird eager to set up housekeeping immediately. I The judges. Mrs. J. F. Goodman. Mrs. j J. Leonard Brown and Mrs. I. I. Davis, gave three nrizes, $3.00. $2.30 and SI.OO to*Raymond Kluttz. Roy Sides and Harry Cress respectively.

Williams, in her ever charming manner, read a paper ' “Conservation *of Wild Life.” which was a splendid appeal for an aroused j public opinion to save our birds and animals before it is too late. Next came a lively flute number (a) Tan and the Birds”—Jules Alouquot; (hr "At the Brook”—Bene de Bois deppe. by S. Kay Patterson. The last impel* was a real climax to the subject, was a bit of thorough re search and first hand study of birds, “Native Bird Stf.igsf’ < illustrated by pianol by Mrs. Chus. Wagoner. This paper Miss Lord for Mrs. Wagoner, who in turn substituted for •Miss Lord iiufhe last song, singing in her best voice,, which is lovely indeed, •*liie Lark.” with ttate accompaniment. There was a fineness the eve ning. everything in perfect keeping with the subject of birds, and a bal ance of papers, music and social pleas ure, that made the whole affair one of charm, of which the department may be justly proud. One of *he objects *nf the Woman's | Club is the development and apprecia tion of our home resources and Thurs day night is a fair example of what we have in our community, and there is a world of Uhrealized talent light here t in this town, which the Woman's Club ! will surely bring to the light.

Washington, ApriKl9.—With dele gates worked) Up to a high pitch as a resuk of the bitter contest waged in connection with the selection of a new president-general, ballots were cast today in the Daughters or the American Revolution’s triennial elec tion of olticers. Long lines .of women filed past the ’tellers throughout the (lay. Voting was still in progress to night with some uncertainty as to when the result would be announced. Three candidates originally were in the field to succeed Mrs. George May nard tylinor as president-general, but the unexpected withdrawal from the race of Mrs. William Gumming Story of New York, announced last night immediately after she had been nom ihated, .harrowed the nominees to Mrs. Anthony Wayne Coolw of Penn sylvania, and. Mrs. G. ''Wallace W. Hanger, of Washington. The action of Mrs.■'Story, who de clared she would withdraw because of some of the campaign tactics re sorted ’to in connection with the elec- ! tion, served to intensify feeling. Con-, fusion becyms so great during the voting late today that police officers and firemen, stationed at the had, took a hand in straightening out ilu lines and in preserving order. A num ber of delegates were reported on the verge of hysteria, excitemellt in con nection with the balloting . proving too much for them. The officers elected will serve for three years.

Raleigh, April 21.—1 n -every town, city and county in Carolina where there are enough physicians to attend nil births, boards of health should make the practice of midwifery unlawful.; Dr. A. C. Bulla, Wake county health officer and one Os the leading members of the North Caro lina Public Health Association, stated tonight. . . •’The profit anil loss account of pub lic health in this state enn never be balanced until that das* of white and colored woolen, who because they are too old or decrepit to be in. other occupations, numbering 0.000 are /prohibited from practicing mid wifery.” lie asserted. “Os these 0.000 women. 2,500 are registered with the state board of health and the records show that they are illiterate, ignorant, most of them. Notwithstanding this fact, they attend nnc-thiiil of all white and colored births in the, state. 1 “More than 30,500 mothers look to this woman for service when they need the attention of the most skilled physicians. One of the best public i health thinkers in this country has said: ‘These mothers pass through the valley of the shadow of death with no ray of light or science lo dispel its gloom, and with only the flickering candle of the midwife to guide them through their travail.’ _ “With the medical profession of the state numbering 2,300, if each physi cian were to attend one and one-tentli more births each month, it would .at once bring to an end a loss which the state has suffered from its earliest history. And no longer would the medical profession have trailing along with it,G,OOO so-classed professional midwives. “If they cannot be eliminated, their meager knowledge of their work should l>o improved, but with improved knowledge they gain prestige and This is used to further their w/uk. But let us trust that their knowledge will be greater than their prestige.” Dr. Bulla, in discussing other phas es of health work in the state, said all measures assuring children of their best potential maternity, such as better preparation for parenthood, prenatal care, prevention of infant mortality, malnutrition and disease, should be adopted. “Education'' of a kind. Which fclie ignorant will not be skeptical about, medical examination and physical edu cation children, liefter homes anil econ omic forces affecting the home are some of the' things which should be stressed.” .he c-ontimiert. “Herein lies the greatest profit to the state and the sooner all counties realize that a well organized health department; functioning properly anil free from political influences, will pay larger profits on the money invested than any other business. “There are in this state 900,000, COURT CALENDAR.
