The M earns Q uail, which occurs

probably had its original home in

Loye H olm es M iller, professor of
biology em eritus on the L o s Angeles

fornia.
D r. M iller, who recently m ade a
study of the bird, reports that it
has a num ber of characteristics,
such as large eyes, which suggest
it evolved under forest conditions.
The nature of certain of its muscles
are sim ilar to those of the tinamou
of E l Salvador.
The bird also bears closer struc

the southwest.

A you may have read in the newspapers, the Office of
Defense Transportation has given the railroad authority
to take train space from civilian passengers at any time, to
make room for wounded service men.
Beaverton Pharmacy

W e sincerely hope that people planning trip» not essential
to the war effort will cancel their plans so that more room will
be left on trains, and so make it unnecessary to take these
drastic steps. W e are going to take care of these wounded men
first. Tt*ey come first with us, and we believe they come first
with you. But we and other railroads would dislike very much
to camel reservations at the last minute, or to make people
already on trains give up their space.
