ENGLISH THRUSHES TUNE UP High School Notes Songsters Are In Evidence Even Early In February, Robins Singing Throughout the Winter. Thrnshes In England are early sing- trs, and It Is not unusual to bear a brush singing even In the first week iof February, says the Christian Science Monitor. The gardens and, of course, la thrush loves a gnrden are then (green, and moist, and very quiet and ulready In full possession of the robin, a very charming musician a musician that sings throughout the winter and Igalns particular laurels in doing so. This season the thrushes that In .habit the woods and hedges and re jmaln during the winter have decided Jto break through tradition and sing as much and as early as they have a imlnd to. It seems that they, as well us the robins, sing In December and elng In full voice. Some one has heard a De Reszke In a thicket, who begins -with the daybreak, and sings as glori ous a song as any that he Is wont to dng In the early days of spring. Have his calculations been thrown out by the mildness of the weather, tfor we. hear of bunches of outdoor chrysanthemums coming In from country gardens, or Is there a move ment on foot for complete liberty of action In regard to the commence ment and duration of the musical season?

Both coins are of course O. K. i The Handy Automobile. I It Is not an uncommon sight on an extra frosty morning, notes nn ex change, to see a teamster walking alongside his team to keep warm, but It ct-rtainly was surprising on such a day to see a driver doing that with an automobile. This was on a broad, smooth subur Ban highway, where the passengers rhootlng past In a big limousine saw a delivery wagon ambling serenely along while Its driver, swinging his arms to warm hlmRelf, was trotting along be aide It on the ground, Just as he might fcsre done if Instead of a machine he bad been driving a horse and wagon.

As Oregon's official quota is 3,204. she has more than passed the half-way mark. The Indi cations, based on comments by the various county chairmen who filed their first week returns, are that the enrollment will be considerably heav ier this week than It was last, largely because of the fact that additional enrolling agencies have been estab lished in several populous communi ties that were not reached last week. Three counties of Oregon have al ready topped their quota Baker, quota 36, registration 101; Clatsop, quota 75, registration 183, and Crook, quota 10, registration 10.

Here Is where the fireworks started.

This Is It: Does or does not a straight flush beat four of a kind un der any and all circumstances?" The Joy of Work. , Instead of being a curse, work Is man's greatest blessing.
