Assemblyman Coffey's project calls for the issue of bonds on the credit of the county to finance the proposed pipe line. Municipalities are to be aaaeaaed in pro- portion to the benefit derived and the it mount of water they uee. Three objections against Westchester residents being dependent on the new Cat- «kiH supply for New York are mentioned by Assemblyman Coffey. First, he says that the county authorities are opposed; to such an arrangement; second, the price is almost prohibitive, and, finally, that absolute de- pendence would mean that if New York should auddenly curtail the supply allotted to Westchester certain communities would be brought face to face with a serious water famine. "Ever since the drouth in 1910 and 1»H there has been a dearth of water in several Westchester towns and cities," Mr. Coffey *aid in outlining his project. !

This week a Committee of the Common Council will call on Government officials in WaaMagton with reference to the site for • Post Office in Yonkera. Incidentally and, per ha pa, specifically the delegation will as- certain if the additional appropriation of 0200,000 for land and edifice i» likely to be favored by the Congressional Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, to whom Mr. Cglesby's bill has been referred. The Congressman from thia district now has a fine chance to redeem himself in part for his lack of activity in the past. He can demonstrate that he is worth more to the constituency that elected him to office than aa a medium for introducing private pension bills and a dispenser of free garden seeds, supplied by the Government De- partment of Agriculture. Mr. Ogleaby should do more than that to justify his presence in the National Legis- lature and the expense of keeping him there to represent the people of this populous and wealthy region.

When Johnnie builds a bird house for a wren, why does he <find it occupied by a chickadeer What bird demands an apart- ment house and which one will be content to live in an old tin can? How do you build a bird houae, anyhow? These and many other questions are an- swered in a pamphlet on the building of bird houses, just issued for the boys and girls of America by the National Associa. tion of Audubon Societies, 1,974 Broad- •jpajr, New York. The little book tells to the fraction of an inch the aise of entrances to houses required for different species of birds, the proper floor space, depth, the height of the entrance above the floor and tiie height the bird house should be placed shove the ground. public schools, and of graduate nurse, will 1- held in the High School Building, Wed- iu fwlay evening, March 15, beginning at 7 o'clock. Candidates must file their appli- es tion* at the oflice of the Commission, ( rty Hall, on or before Thursday evening, >,areh 9. Candidates for the position of registrar are required to be graduates of a High School, to be stenographers and typists, and to have a thorough knowledge of the 1 iighsh language. For the positions of registrar and graduate nurse, candidate* must be citizens and residents of Yonkers, and between the ages of »1 »»d 00. The salaries are: For registrar, $400 to $700 per annum; for graduate nurse, «600 per annum with maintenance, or $1,200 per an- num without maintenance. The Commission gives notice that ap- pointments will be made from the list of successful candidates in the graduate nurse examination to all positions in the city ser- vice, '"but that candidates are particularly wanted who would accept aervice in the Municipal Tuberculosis Hospital." Athletic* aa Aid to Scholarship. Dean Archibald L. Bouton, of the College of Arts and Pure Science, New York Uni- versity, says that organization to effect participation in University activities by a larger proportion of the student body has been brought about by the forming of new clubs. He reports that athletic*, contrary to the general belief, are an aid and not a draw- back to scholarship. Of those students in- terested in sports, 27 were among the men whose average was over 80 per cent. "On Trial" at the Waxbaxtemv •On Trial," a Cohan and Harris melodra- matic success of last season at Candler Theater, New York, will be the play bill at the Warburton Theater ail this week, be- ginning this evening, with matinees Tues- day, Thursday and Saturday. This will be the first offering of this well- known dramatic sensation of the past theat- rical year, at popular prices. It will be presented with an enlarged cast of 30 people, with the members of the Yonkers Stock Players in all the leading roles, and the-ad- dition of others who have appeared with the Candler Theater cast. For the past two weeks the mechanical force of the War- burton have been preparing the revolving stage, made necessary for the 16 scenes re- ) quired to properly present the play. "On Trial" is said t° *e another puttie play that keeps one guessing as to the de- nouement, but has half a dozen other fas- cinations. The main thing is that this play tells its story backwards. It begins with the trial of the accused, shows the crime itself, then the motive for the crime, then the thing that created the motive, landing j back 13 years before the coast is clear for the triumphant close of the trial in the solu- tion of still another mystery. Mr. Farren promises a careful and com- plete production. The Charity Organization Society will have a benefit performance tomorrow night.

HOMES FOR THE BIRDS. When Johnnie builds a bird house for a

wren, why does he <find it occupied by a chickadeer What bird demands an apart­ment house and which one will be content to live in an old tin can? How do you build a bird houae, anyhow?

These and many other questions are an-swered in a pamphlet on the building of bird houses, just issued for the boys and girls of America by the National Associa. tion of Audubon Societies, 1,974 Broad-•jpajr, New York. The little book tells to the fraction of an inch the aise of entrances to houses required for different species of birds, the proper floor space, depth, the height of the entrance above the floor and tiie height the bird house should be placed shove the ground.

For the positions of registrar and graduate nurse, candidate* must be citizens and residents of Yonkers, and between the ages of »1 »»d 00.

Athletic* aa Aid to Scholarship. Dean Archibald L. Bouton, of the College

of Arts and Pure Science, New York Uni­versity, says that organization to effect participation in University activities by a larger proportion of the student body has been brought about by the forming of new clubs.

"On Trial" at the Waxbaxtemv •On Trial," a Cohan and Harris melodra­

matic success of last season at Candler Theater, N e w York, will be the play bill a t the Warburton Theater ail this week, be­ginning this evening, with matinees Tues­day, Thursday and Saturday.

This will be the first offering of t h i s well-known dramatic sensation of the past theat­rical year, at popular prices. It will be presented with an enlarged cast of 30 people, with the members of the Yonkers Stock Players in all the leading roles, and the-ad­dition of others who have appeared with the Candler Theater cast. For the past two weeks the mechanical force of the War-burton have been preparing the revolving stage, made necessary for the 16 scenes re- ) quired to properly present the play.

"On Trial" is said t ° *e another putt ie play that keeps one guessing as to the de­nouement, but has half a dozen other fas­cinations. The main thing is that this play tells its story backwards. I t begins with the trial of the accused, shows the crime itself, then the motive for the crime, then the thing that created the motive, landing j back 13 years before the coast is clear for the triumphant close of the trial in the solu­tion of still another mystery.

Mr. Farren promises a careful and com­plete production.

The Charity Organization Society will have a benefit performance tomorrow night.
