Otto is a German boy. one of several upon whose judgment the canary importers of New York rely when they guarantee the musical habits of their birds. He stands all day in the center of an upstairs room In downtown Manhattan. Around the walls are' tiers of tiny cages, each containing one canary. The 8,000 potential songsters keep up a continuous chirping while they pick at the seeds in their cages, so that one shrill, discordant bote hangs always in the air. But Otto does not depend on his eara. He watches their necks and when he sees a movement in the feathers under the beak that indicates to him a song instead of a chirp he makes a chalk mark on the cage. The birds who have burst Into unheard song then are segregated for sale to retailers aa warblers who really warble. * It is obvious, therefore, that canary voices are discovered after the yellow midgets arrive on this side. Not so, however, with the opera stars of th^ bird world, the bullfinches. Bullfinches are patiently trained by organists or harness makers ln^ their native Germany. The latter whistle one song over and over again to birds suspended in cages over their benches until the pupils have memorised an entire selection. Some learn as many aa three songs. They, of course, bring the highest price, which is $100. In canary-breeding time In the Hare mountains of Germany the stock to be hatched this spring will be laid by for export next year. The birds are kept in warehouses overseas one New York dealer alone having 28.000 of last year's crop waiting to be brought over. The songsters arrive weekly* each of several wholesalers In town t*eceiving from 3,000 to 6,000 in a con* algnment. They are purchased for storage from breeders' clubs In the mountains, similar, it seems, to farm marketing groups in this country.

Walls, to a surprising extent, make the difference between furniture In stores and and furniture ii homes. The glossless painted backgrounds have the added advantage of practicality, for wlien finished with a paint such as white lead and flatting oil they can be washed time and time again without the slightest harm. Walls In homes are among those many things not* particularly noticeable urfless something la wrong with them. Housewives who are welf acquainted with every separate detail often wonder If anyone else realizes how much forethought find work there is back of a sNMoth-runnlng menage. If the dinner is delicious, it Is a matter of course. If it is horrible, it makes a much stronger Impression.

It Is only upon studying a room to discover what it is and why that one notices the walls and the strength of their influence. Is a room businesslike or feminine, or both? Is it stiff, stuffy or homelike, strong In character or one of those rooms that Jost happen? Is It happy or repressed? Does it draw you out or depress you? Does it express some one's personality or does it say plainly that some one was too busy to bother? Is It restful or fatiguinp? Is it gaudy, nouveau riche, tasteful, sorrowful or any one of ten thousand other things? Rooms have all.tlie qualities reflecting the men and women who make them. , ,, y In general the Importance of furniture. rugs, smoking stands, pictures, flowers, luniks, etc., is well appreciated.

Wall Street TXTALL street came by it* name from the fact that along about 1652, as a protection against possible attack from hostile Indians or colonists, the adjoining Dutch settlement (the original New York) constructed a palisade (or wall) immediately to the north of the city, near the present location of this now famous street As time went on houses appeared and a new street, which naturally was named Wall, was ushered into existence. This newcomer in streetdom gradually became a "high hat" residential thoroughfare and remained so until along about the close of the Revolutionary war. BuHdings having to do with governmental affairs also stood here. Among them the Colonial city hall which, remodeled. became Federal hall and served as the first capitol building of the United States of America. Here It was that George Washington wat inaugurated President The presence of the government buildings acted as a magnet to the financial institutions of the day and the centering In this area of the banks of the town gradually got under way, finally culminating In the concentration here of the present-day unrivaled and powerful group of concerns which have made It the great financial center of the nation and one of the mo^M"1 Iked-about streets in all tin world. Despite Its outstanding prominence and strange as It may seem, Wall street has a graveyard (Trinity) at Its head and a river (East) at Its foot, la very narrow and only about one-fourth of a mile in length.

The examination was for children entering school next fall and was made without any expense to the parents and was done in order that the children may enter schood better prepared for the work required. Examinations are expected to discover every detectable physical defect or abnormality, and to result in the correction of all remedial defects which are brought to light. From a health standpoint no child is considered fully prepared to begin school unless he is vaccinated against small-pox, immunized against diphtheria, has no uncorrected dental defects and holds a doctor's OK on his physical condition. More than 250,000 children will be medically examined in Illinois within the next three months, if the powerful parent-teacher organizations and the state department of health have their way about the matter, according to a statement issued by Dr. Andy Hall, state health director. Borrowing from another day the romantic title of "summer roundup," these agencies have set in motion a campaign reaching into every community and most of the homes of the state. Its object, in a word, is to put into perfect physical condition as nearly as possible, every child scheduled to TOake his initial enrollment at school next fall. With Several hundred million dollars invested in school properties that operate at something like $75 per pupil a year, it is highly important that children be in the best possible physical condition to profit by their attendance. It is even more important to each child's own future that he be in first-class physical trim when he begins the long journey that culminates with a diploma. Only a doctor can say whether or not an individual child is free from handicapping physical defects and he can pass judgment only after carefully examining the ehild. For this reason it is more important for the country and for the child to aee a deetor before he sees a schoolmaster than it is for a recruit to see a doctor be-, fore he makes contact with a drill J M ADDITIONAL COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS The following special assessment payments were ordered paid at the regular May meeting, Monday, May 6: Special .

They wanted the body to He in state beside the remains of Poland's heroes, Kosciosko, Mlcklewlcz, Marshal Ponlatowaki and Slpwacki in the Wawel, which Is Poland's "Westminster Abbey." M. Ganche contends that if it were not for strife raging in Poland at the time of Chopin's death, the musician would undoubtedly have been buried there. Instead he died and was buried in Paris, and now a great monument depicting a muse weeping over a silenced lyre stands over his tomb, which Is the pilgrimage place of many music Iqyera. The principal objection to the removal is that Chopin's ashes have probably completely disappeared. It Is further argued that Chopin's father was a Frenchman, born at Nancy.
