Show Soup Kitchens for Birds. The establishment of "soup kitchens" kitch-ens" for the birds In the cemeteries and city parks has been proposed by A. J. Watson, scout commissioner, who offers to have Boy ScoutB maintain them if the suet necessary is furnished fur-nished free, states the Kansas City Star. He also calls on all scouts to feed the hungry birds about their homes until the snow has melted fully. Scouts are taught to study bird life and protect It. To feed the birds scouts have found the best way is to tie pieces of suet in trees and keep grain and seeds in boxes also nailed to trees. "The furnishing of the seeds Is a small item," Mr. Watson said. "The scout organization will gladly do that, but it does not have the funds to furnish fur-nish suet. If any person or organization organiza-tion will furnish it, the scouts will distribute dis-tribute it." |
