It is only in recent times that their value to man has been under- stood. For ages they were thought to be merely ornamental and musical creatures of no utility whatever. The birds, however, are among man’s most valuable friends. They combine pleasing as- pects and cheering notes with an instinct which safeguards growing things, and thus contrib- ute to the wellbeing of the human family. If it were not for birds a thousand pests would destroy the grains and vegetables and fruits that nourish the world. The bird is nature's in- sect destroyer. There is no greater foe of the birds that the cat. Its usefulness in this age is problemati- cal, The human family, which makes a pet of the cat, would be bettter off if that animal should be eliminated. Cats carry diseases, and their companionship with children is not wholesome to the children, Traditionally, the cat is a mouser. But mice in these days can be exterminated without ca‘ The encouraging change in sentiment as to birds and cats is illustrated by the action of women in Glen Ridge, a New York suburb, They have petitioned the borough council to put bells on cats and thus conserve bird life. People everywhere should take like action. Bell the cats and save the birds! Advice to those who worry comicbooks.com
