OLD-AGE SECURITY Every ambitious young man on the threshold of his career, determines to be a financial success. He looks ahead to an old age of leisure and independence—not to an old age of de- pendence or poverty. The bitter figures show how thoroughly the hopes of the great bulk of men are blasted. Out of every 100 men 65 years old or olde pendent incomes of sufficient size to enable them to retire five have inde- and live comfortably.

SPRING IN THE ATTIC Spring is here! And it’s about time for householders to start their semi-annual housecleaning. While doing that, they should keep a weather eve out for the common fire hazards that multiply in homes during the winter season. Dangerous hazards can be found on every floor of the average home. Start in the attic—look at those dog-cared amagazines, finger-marked books that no one will ever read again, the battered furniture you inherited from Aunt Millie and put out of sight as rapidly as possible. By disposing of such junk, the chance of fire can be greatly reduced. Then come downstairs and go through the closets. There vou'll find clothes of the 1920 vintage—worn-out dust mops and cleaning rags and paraphernalia-—waste matter of a Fire likes nothing better as a starting point. The cellar probably resembles the attic—plus a few special hazards of its own. Paints and varnishes, often found in top- less cans, are usually inflammable and some are actually ex- plosive. Gasoline, benzine and solvants have caused many a big fire—store them properly, if you don’t want your house Now go outside. Is the grass yellowing, are there piles of twigs and boughs in the yard?

The Bird Sanctuary is at the end of car line 53; reached also by Greene street, Wayne avenue or Wissahickon Avenue North to a- bove Carpenter Lane, Germantown. The following published in 1935 gives a graphic account of this rare entertainment for those who love birds. Bright blue skies. Warm sun and a light breeze. They joined in providing an ideal setting Satur- day for the ninth bi-annual pageant of the Bird Masque presented in Carpenter's Woods by the pupils of the Charles W. Henry School, Ger- mantown, In the natural amphitheatre, deep in the woods, some 5,000 apprecia- tive spectators witnessed the color- ful scene. “Orchestra” seats were provided on a level space before the stage, while the overflow peered from the slopes of the surrounding hillside. The masque presents in dramatic manner the plea for bird protec- tion. The Story It Tells A little girl enters the woods, enjoys the flowers and birds, falls asleep and dreams, This part was gracefully played by Joy Burd. Her dream shows the ideal rela- tionship between birds and man- kind. In them, children clad in costumes of different lands go through their folk dances. An old English maypole dance takes place. Everybody is carefree and gay. But— Comes the rude awakening to things as they really are. A gun- shot is heard. A swarm of hun- ters takes possession of the scene. They bang away in loud and in- creasing crescendo, while the frigh- tened birds and people crowd to the back of the stage. The little girl then seeks the Spirit of Education, represented by Edith D. Leigh, attractively clad in soft Grecian draperies. The fes- tivities are resumed, only to be a- bruptly interrupted again by an- other shot and a gorgeous cardinal bird is wounded. Death Dance Grips Spectators Elizabeth Cope Collins, in a scarlet costume authentically rep- resenting the gay coloring of the school’s own bird, takes the part f . the wounded cardinal. The dance of death holds the spectators spellbound. Mayor Moore was seen to take out his pocket handker- chief and touch it furtively to his eyes, while he whispered, “That got me!” in a husky aside to Miss Caroline T. Moffett, supervising principal of the Henry School, who is the spirit behind the pageant. And Judge Harry S. McDevitt was blinking suspiciously when the bird had finally given up the struggle and fluttered to the ground in a broken little heap. The Spirit of Education then takes things in. hand and teaches the lesson of bird protection.
