Bees, Birds Offer Interest ing Parallels With Con duct of Humans Tiny Things in Constant Battle HERE'S WHY THOUSANDS ARE BUYING WARDS 1935 REFRIGERATORS JifEDFOIvD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFOKD, OltEGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17. 1935. Ex-Secretary - f l Ja iW Tolo SARDINE CREEK Spl.)-Thl canyon Is a. sort of paradise for the amateur naturalist who Is more In terested In the esthetic thrill of find ing wild flowers of delicate beauty or in the curious behavior of multi tudinous Insects than In their scien tific names and classifications. There Is scarcely a dull moment In the canyon for anyone interested in the phenomena of Nature. If In addi tion to an insatiable curiosity one has a penchant toward philosophis ing, many parallels can be drawn be tween the animal and the human worlds. Quails talcing care of a covey of young ones, for example, remind you for all the world of nervous and ex tremely fastidious parents who are constantly in alarm lest something dreadful happen to their first born. At the first approach of danger Mama and Papa Quail will emit ex cited, staccato gurgles which in their language is a command to the babies to scram. And how quickly and obed iently the little feathered creatures get going. There is no stopping to argue the point. Then, if the danger still ap proaches. Papa Quail will very bravely come out into the open, where there Is no loubt that he can be ' seen. That's lust a stall to divert atten tion until Mama supervises the hid ing of the babies. Papa will take wing In tl me to save h 1 msclf and then Mama will repeat her husband's trick. By that time the little ones are &r fcly concealed under leaves or underbrush where nothing less than the sensi tive nose of a bird dog can find them. If you happen to be the danger that approaches and you stop In your tracks in time. Papa and Mama will stand their ground until the babes are concealed. Then, likely as not, they will take up a position on a fallen log where they can watch you and the little ones at the same time. Mama Quail will be content to stand as motionless and as quiet as a stat ue, letting well enough alone, but Papa Quo 11, bumptious like moat fathers, wil have to Issue occasional warnings and stick his head out now and again to obey the command to remain still. If you watch closely enough you'll observe Mama giving Papa a disdainful look that says elo quently: "Oh, pipe down and quit trying to make a noise like a father. Do you want to give away their hid ing place?" It ta the Insect world that provides most of the marvels, especially the marvel of what the tiny creatures do with all the food they eat. The voracious yellow Jacket will eat anything from a growing apple to a dead zebra. Yellow Jackets will strip a tree of its fruit In Jig time and In a few hours they will reduce a slain rattle snake to a glistening skeleton. They eat everything but the bones, Including the venom. That Is why there Is a saying here that when you kill a rattle snake you should bury at least the head, for after It has con sumed the poison the Insect can In ject It with its stinger and the effect Is the same as though you were bit ten by Mr. Rattler himself. Tour cor respondent does not vouch for the scientific authenticity of that asser tion; he merely repeats what la a aying here. The yellow Jacket Is a fierce and fearless fighter. Tou may see him at tack a locus S, four times his size. He stings the locust Into paralysis and then, to be rid of the annoylngly weaving legs, he will clip them off. one after the other, with his scissors like mandibles. After that the yellow Jacket proceeds leisurely to cut the locust into small pieces that can be devoured conveniently. He will leave only the Inedible wings and legs. For all Its ferocity the yellow jacket Is not always victorious. Your corres pondent recently saw a death strug gle between a yellow Jacket and a black bee. Each clutched the other In a battle to the finish and over and over they rolled, each trying desper ately to survive. Finally the black bee took flight, triumphantly, a dead yellow Jacket In its clutches. A pool or water hole is always a thrilling showcase for the nature student. If you will sit quietly by the water's edge for a few minutes, pres ently you will see all manner of tiny life unfold drama after drama on a miniature stage. No doubt you will be surprised to realize that so many different kinds of things can thrive In so small an area and yet you haven't seen the mlscroscoplc life at all I On the surface of the water you will see the skippers, those little In sect with the ridiculously long legs that skim over the pool as though they were on skates. They look harm less enough, those skippers, but let a yellow Jacket come to the water's edge for a drink and In a trice they will pounce upon him, drag him Into the water and hold him submerged until he Is drowned. Then the skip pers will have a meal. Yes, life is real and very earnest In MM.KOUft. 6am A.

It Is a fiercely competitive life of rugged individual ism, a constant and not always edi fying struggle for survival. "It only goes to show," commented the sage of Sardine Creek, "that In sects don't know any better than we humans.".
