An authority on Greek archi- ^ectttre^Fele«8©r^ar^a«»b«1^' of Yale University, says that the Fine Arts Building in Jackson Park is surpassed only by the Parthenon as the most beautiful building in the world. Samt- Gaudens, famous American sculptor, judges it the most beautiful classic building since the time of Pericles. This second most beautiful building in the world may be- come a thing of the past if you and other citizens do not take steps to prevent such a sacrilege. It can be restored to permanent form for $2,000,000. If built anew it, would cost six times as muchâ€"$12,000,000.

It seems more profitable to care for men, women, and children as present and future citizens of the Republic than as possible inhabi- tants of a future heaven. The specifications of almost every new church make reference to club grooms, ? kitchens.g gymnasiums, istages and swimming pools.

Dear Sir:â€"- . ^h^TWJTICABlXT^ICLE in your paper for the furtherance of the protection "for our Song-birds. The north shore is noted for its beautiful trees and plantation, ideal for all Song-birds, so why not gain note for the abundance of songsters who are beautiful as well as protec- tive agents for all plant life. This is easily accomplished by the ex- penditure of just a little energy. Everyone, who owns a cat, should put a bell around its neck, just to give the bird a fighting chance. This should be done at once, and not de- layed until tomorrow or whenever we feel inclined to do it. The argument that cats are. good ratters is easily overcome by the placing of good rat- traps which of course calls for ex- pended energy. A cat would rather eat up a nest full of tiny, soft nest- lings than scrap with a tough rat. j^js3e^taD~iio~JUKay--w4tl^^ togSherTthey are of no earthly use except to the man who buys and sells them. The English Sparrow as a Pest Another enemy of our Song-birds is the Common or English Sparrow and should be routed out where ever he is found nesting. All arguments, that the Sparrow is of worth, are overcome by the issuance of a special bulletin by the Governmentâ€"which urges the death of all English Spar- rows. Send for Farmers' Bulletin No. 493, Division of Publication, c. o. United States Department of Agricul- ture. This paper gives directions for the making of Sparrow-traps, also tells how to prepare this "game" jf one wishes to make a Sparrow-pie. If one wishes to buy a Sparrow trap write to Mr. Wm. I. Lyons, 124 Wash- ington St., Waukegan, 111. or Mr. Dodson of Kankakee, 111. The Gov- ernment also issues a Bulletin on ^Bird Houses- aifdHow to "Build Them/' Farmers Bulletin No. 609. The Sparrow is overrunning bur suburbs. In the suburbs, they ravage wherever they can and down all other birds. Let the Song-birds rav- age and in return have their song and beautiful colors. Incidentally they do away with thousands of in- sect pests. â-  ,: Very truly yours, * E. FRED LECHLER, v 210 Fifth St.. Wilmette, 111. P. S.

Dear Sir:â€" Inasmuch as your publication is "the timely record of community events" the writer is "wondering, now that we have voted to make McGarry and Fowler a present of $4,210.35, whether you would not like to record the event in accordance with fact. When the village of Wilmette pas- sed the ordinance for that sidewalk the writer notified Mr. McGarry that he would do the work at his peril, hat the purpose of the abutting prop- erty owners was known, that they did not then want the sidewalk and would not pay for it. In the face of this warning Mr. McGarry laid 'he walk. When the property owners defeated the ordinance in the courts an attempt was made to tear up the sidewalk*! which move was stopped by a restraining order. Now that those citizens, including, /he writer, who paid for their side- walk, ordered by the village at the -rme time, stand to pay also for those objecting property owners, should we not put a soft pedal on this "recog- nized debt \>f honor" business and ^he "credit that is reflected," parti- cularly on those Wilmette citizens who so maneuvered as to get their â- : sidewalks •.' for / nbthirigfSfe^fc Your comments in the issue of to- da^s^ttJii^iiafc^ "not glv^ all/th^ story; fairly. f DOWN WITO THE POLES!
