A TRUE BIRD STORY (By Olive
Thome Miller, Author of "The Chil
dren's Book of Birds," and M. M. M.)
The young bird has to learn how
to do things just as small boys and
girls do, although not in exactly the
same way.
One of the first lessons he learns
is how to fly. He really knows how
to do this, but needs practice until
his wings grow1 strong enough to
carry him through the air. Many
young birds begin this practice be
fore they leave the nest. I have often
seen a nestling beating and beating
his wings without stirring an inch
from his tiny home.
You have heard perhaps that the
father and mother birds push their
babies out of the nest. Do not be
lieve any such thing because it is
not true. I have seen many young
birds leave the nest of their own ac
cord, but never one pushed out.
Sometimes the mother may coax her
children, but often they fly out while
the parents are away finding food.
After the young bird leaves the
nest his father and mother follow
and feed him for he does not yet
know how to feed himself. This is
the next lesson he has to learn. He
must also know where to sleep, and
now to protect himself from all the
other creatures that want to catch
him and eat him. Then he must be
able to sing, and no doubt there are
many other lessons for him to learn
that we do not know about.
Once I had a good chance to watch
two young blue jays learn to get
their own living. After they left
the nest they lived in a little grove,
where I could easily find them when
I went to watch. They seemed to be
always hungry, and every few min
utes one of the parents would hurry
up with a grasshopper or some other
insect to stuff into the wide-open
mouths. They were fed choke-cherries
too. These little wild cherries
grew on a big tree in the grove.
One day after giving the twins

chokeberries, the parents slipped
quietly out of sight, and stayed away
a long time. I could see them perch
ing near but the young birds could
not. The father and mother were
not hunting food as usual but seem
ed to be taking a rest. I wondered
at this, for I had never seen them
resting since the little ones were
hatched.
The twins, who were quite as large
as their parents now, did not try to
pull any of the fruit from the trees,
although it grew all about, and they
had often seen it done. They sat
idly picking at their toes, stretching
their beautiful wings, or hopping
from branch to branch.
Soon it was evident that they were
hungry for they began, to call.
Nothing happened. They called
again. Still no food. This must
have been a great surprise, for usual
ly their cries brought a parent with
food at once. Hungrier and hungrier
they grew, and louder and louder
they called, but still no parents.
iAU this time I could see the
the mother and father birds sitting
near, and I also began to wonder
why they did not bring something.
At last the mother flew to the chil
dren, but with nothing in her beak.
Squawking "madly, the two hungry
youngsters flung themselves upon
her. They almost knocked her off
the perch. She just hopped out of
the way and did not seem to care
that fhey vere hungry. Again the
twins flew at her, begging for food,
and again she calmly hopped out of
the way. Then she hopped up to a
bunch of cherries and pulled one.
The children crowded close, and what
do you think that bird did? She de
liberately swallowed that . cherry
herself!
The twins seemed dumfounded.
For a minute they did not make a
sound nor move a muscle. Then
screaming louder than ever they be

themselves. At first they were so
clumsy they dropped every one, but
soon they managed to swallow a
few.

learned the great lesson of their lives.

OLD ITALIAN SPORT
Peculiar Method of Snaring Mi
grating Pigeons
At Cava dal Tirrenl the Birds Are Way'
laid With Nets and Slings Much
Ingenuity Necessary to Se
cure Good "Bag."
It is not often that one comes across
a little place that has an Ingenious
and exciting sport all its own. At Cava
del Tirrenl In Italy, nowever, there
has for a thousand years existed a pe
culiar form of pigeon catching. It was
Introduced In 892, says Mr. Herbert Vi
vian In Italy at War and it has flour
ished ever since. At the beginning of
every autumn great flocks of pigeons
migrate from Siberia to Africa and
pass over Cava and the Gulf of Saler
no. They probably have other routes,
but Cava Is the only place where they
are waylaid with nets and slings. The
season Is at Its height from the 16th to
25th of October.
The pigeon catchers are mostly men
of the lower middle class, who club to
gether to form six societies, or
"games." A game usually consists of
three or four towers and a clearing
where the nets are set up. One tower
Is probably a thousand yards from the
net, and the nearest perhaps seventy
yards, but the distances vary. The
towers are tall and slim, wlndowless
and weather-beaten. There are steps
about halfway up the inside, and a
rickety ladder leads to the parapet at
the top. Bach society has also a neat
little clubhouse, usually near the chief
tower.
In a merry mood the members take
their places in the fresh morning air.
Most of them are dressed in velveteen
coats, top-boots and peaked caps. Two
men ascend each tower and the rest
are distributed among the nets. In
each of the clearings stands a small
house from the center of which rises
a toll black mast. To that two huge
nets are fastened, stretching right and
left to clumps of trees and spreading
out obliquely to the ground. Inside
the house is a handle and a cogwheel
for raising the weighted nets. The
lookout place is a straw hut two or
three miles away In the direction from
which the pigeons are expected. When
the watcher sights a flock of birds he
gives a signal on his horn, which other
watchers scattered about the woods
take up.
The birds travel at a tremendous
speed, always with a leader, and In
flocks of from 80 to 100. Every one
takes to cover, for the birds are easily
frightened. The men on the towers
are provided with long slings and
whitewashed stones about the size of
small hens' eggs. These they discharge
with great force. The pigeons, it is
said, mistake the stones for hawks and
make frantic efforts to avoid them,
so the sltngers must fling the stones
where they do not wish the birds to
go; yet when they are flying high, a
stone flung beneath them will bring
them hurtling downward. Then, with
loud cries, the watchers drive them to
ward the nets. The stone-slinging is
the essence of the sport, and it re
quires strong muscles, a quick eye and
a steady aim.
But the netting Is also dlfllcult. The
man at the ropes is white and nerv
ous; everything now depends upon
him. If he releases the weight at the
right moment, the net comes down in
stantly and the birds are bagged. A
moment too soon, and they see the
danger and avoid it; a moment too
late and they pass In safety. It is a
matter of an instant, and many more
flocks escape than are taken.
The birds are gray and somewhat
smaller than the domestic pigeon.
They cannot be trained or tamed. The
iport is far from being profitable, for
even when they have good luck the
pigeon catchers never take enough
Dirds to pay for the elaborate prepara
tion they have made. But the moment
when the nets whirl down at Cava is
ft moment of rare excitement.
"War Time."'
A novel memento of the great war Is
a clock, which Is made from munitions
both enemy and allied collected on
the Soinme battlefield by a soldier,
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body of the clock Is a
German shellcase, and German cart
ridges form the legs. Of the three
cartridges on top of the timepiece, the
two outside are German, and the one
gracing the center French, while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side orna
ments are made from Verey-llght
cases, pierced to admit of a British
cartridge projecting through the top.
The pendulum consists of five
French bullets, and the figures and
hands are bent to shape from copper
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside Is also of German
make, and, after necessary repairs, is
round to be entirely adequate.
Look to Africa for Food.
The world-wide shortage of food and
the certainty that this shortage will
continue in modified form for years to
come lins roused France to utilize more
fully her great colonies just across the
Mediterranean. ' Comprehensive plans
are being formed and started on the
way to fulfillment for refrigerating
and packing plants In Algeria, so that
the animals need not be shipped across
the sea alive. These institutions, too,
will give a much readier and steadier
market than has been available hither
to, and that is probably all that Is
needed to quadruple the meat exports
of North Africa.

SOME FISH! SOME MUD!
TRIO COME BACK "SORE!
Dr. Ice, W. J. Wilson and C. W,
Robey arrived in Oregon City Sunday
morning from Pacific City, where
they had gone on a fishing trip in Mr.
Robey's Ford. The men claim that
the only reason they got through the
mud in the Grande Bonde reserva
tion was due to the fact that they had
a ford machine. A new grade
being established through the reser
vation for the coast highway, and
the mud is over three feet deep
some places according to the fished
men. They claim that many autos
were found by them stuck deep
the mud along the route through the
reservation. One teamster, who
working on the highway at that
point, claimed that he had made
enough to buy himself a Chevrolet
auto from the revenue he received
from pulling machines out of the
holes in the reservation, during the
past three months.

there cannot be a more blessed con
solation to the loved ones left behind,
than this single line of that grand old
song, in which there is a sermon to
the world, to cet readv for that
Blessed Sleep," that all will have
to take, m order for the grand initi
ation into that celestial mansion al
ready prepared for those who desire
this "blessed sleep," which we are
promised in the "Isle of Somewhere,"
by the World's Commander, who suf
fered death, and the initiation, that
those who fall "asleep in Jesus, Bles
sed bleep," were elected because of
their splendid qualifications.
Only 27 years in his youthful man
hood, iioyd F. Traylor passed into
this "Blessed Sleep" in Portland,
when he was thrown head long under
the terrible crushing wheels of a St.
Johns street car, being rushed to the
Good Samaritan hospital. His bruis
es were such that they baffled surgic
al skill, and after about an hour he
passed away on May 25th, that be
ing his birthday.
Boyd Traylor responded to the
calls of his country and enlisted July,
1917, in the medical corps, and later
he was transferred to the officers'
training camp at Little Rock, Arkan
sas. It was said of him, among the
officers, that Jte had the making of
something higher than a Sergeant,
owing to his ability and attentive
ness. His honorable discharge testi
fied that he was held in the highest
respect and esteem bv his suDerior
officers. Since leaving the servie hp
had been working in the Columbia
ship yard.
Boyd was a "youth of youths." and
was loved by all who knew him. He
was bom near Beaver Creek May 25,
1893, and died May 25, 1919. He

Swat Roosters and Save Millions '
Roosters not needed as rh-eerl pra
should be put in the same class as
Hies when it comes to swatting. It
is estimated by the United States
Department of Agriculture that
$15,000,000 worth of eggs spoil simp
ly because they are fertile. Fertile
eggs, when subjected to high sum
mer temperature, begin to hatch just
as when placed in an incubator or
under a hen, and even though the
process continues but a short time the
egg becomes unfit for food. This
spoilage of eggs can be entirely pre
vented by swatting or disposing of
the rooster after the breeding season
is over. The campaign for the pro
duction of infertile eggs has been
waged several years by the United
States Department of Agriculture
poultry specialists, and is being tak
en up with renewed vigor in states
where summer temperatures are
highest and losses are greatest.
