"Tou are eager to reach tha people.

knowledge of what advertising has

PUBLICITY AS CURE OF EVIL
Power No Wrong-Doer Can With.
stand, No Matter How Rich He May
B or How Strong HI Pull.
"Publicity as a Cure of Municipal
and National Evils" was the subject of
strongly Interesting address given
by Thomas E. Dockrell before the
graduates of the course In advertis
ing of the Twenty-tblrd Street T. U.
C. A. at their sixth annual dinner.
The speaker said that In the earlier
days of our country, when the cities
were small, candidate for office were
personally known to tha most ot the
voters. Their fitness for the several
position waa a subject upon which al
most anyone waa qualified to speak,
because of a knowledge of their ca
reers.
Today, when the cities contain great
throngs of people, men are nominated
for office who are absolutely unknown
to nine-tenths ot the population. The
only way these candidates can hope
to win support la through the news
papers. By a liberal use of advertis
ing space thay are able to present
sound reasons why they ahould be
elected. '
It Is not to be denied that tha gen
eral public haa never taken so great
an Interest In tha admlnlatratlon of
government aa at present This Is
due to the earnest and effective work
of the newspapers, whose editors are
constantly on the lookout for rascality
In office, no matter what party may he
in power. - Never hare public officials
been made to feel so keenly that they
must be honest and ' work conscien
tiously for the common good.
Publicity la a power no rascal can
withstand, however rich be may be
or how strong hia pull. It Is a search
light that reveal corruption where-
ever it may exist When the public
learn of its presence It Is not slow
to act Decency 1 stronger than In

are honest and believe that those who
administer public affairs shall be gov

BIRDS IN A BIG CITY
Chicago It Regular Migrating
Point for Feathered Tribe.
Henry Oldys, Assistant Biologist of
United States Biological Survey,
Delivers Lecture Before
Audubon Society.
Chicago. Birds flock to Chicago 'be
ame aa Chlcagoans flock to Europe.
This city la regular migrating point
for the feathered creatures, and for
a number . of reasons. Pre-eminent
among them Is the fact tbat the Mis
sissippi valley U the regular route of
migration of all birds coming from the
south to the colder clime of the north-
land. Flying far above Chicago during
the night the vast glare of thousands
of electric, lights attracts them. They
alight la Washington park, Lincoln
park or some other alluring spot, and
at once begin tbelr semi-annual work
of bomebutldlng.
Henry Oldys, assistant biologist of
the United States biological survey,
delivered a lecture on birds and bird
music before the members of the Illi
nois Audubon society at the Academy
of Sciences In Lincoln park. In the
course ot hU dissertation upon the
subject he made remarks of which tha
foregoing paragraph , U only a brief
aummary.
"Chicago U an Ideal place' for birds,"
Mr. Oldys declared, "for It la directly
In the path of their flight north and
south. The MissUsippt valley U
known as the 'bird route,' you know.
The fact that Chicago I Chicago, that
It la a city stretching mile one way
and miles in other way and that It
ha thousand and thousand of elec
trlo ilghta glaring at night, make It
one of the largest town, speaking In
term of bird habitation. In the coun
try. "And If It were not for the fact thai
there I so much smoke hanging over
Chicago," Mr. Oldya declared. In com
menting upon hi talk delivered before
the society, "there would be many
more blrda bere.- Ot course, the lit
tle creature will ahun amoke, aa a
human being wllL Can you blam
them?" ' '.
'Blrda are attracted to a city In a
strange manner," Mr. Oldya went on.
At night they are drawn by the glare
of the lights, aa I bar explained, and
in the daytime they are lured by tall
spires. ' Llghthousea are especially at
tractive to them and many of the lit
tle animals meet their death each
year by ahowtng too much curloalty
and flying against the framework dr
panea of the lampa. ' WvW;
"Of my own knowledge I can speax
of one bright morning where the stiff
ened bodies of 1(0 blrda were picked
p from the base of the Washington
monument In Washington.' On an av
erage ot aeven hundred a month die
by flylpg against the statute of Lib
erty In New York harbor."
Another ' Interesting observation
made by Mr. Oldya waa the effect of

the little warblers high to the topmost

"Put a blrdhouse In your backyard,"
urged the speaker. "If you do you'll
have some wrens or lorn (wallow
living In It within a day or two, and
I'll warrant that you will be repaid
for the trouble you took by tbe pleas
ure you'll derive from watching the
little creaturea." ,
Commenting upon the voices of the
various birds, Mr. Oldya made the dec
laration that In many Instances the
voice of the human musician and the
voice of the feathered alnger showed
a remarkable similarity.
"Especially la this true in the case
of the thrush," be declared. "I have
heard them combine Bete Into com
