V. Logan of Shady Cove. Mrs. Logan, reading some time ago in this column about the tmall brown birds which puz zled our household, said she was watchinc similar birds and was unable to identify them in Peterson's guide. Mrs. Logan said tile new birds first started tn move nm rn of the houses which she keeps in a tree for her feathered friends. Word-Crafters Con- Knd ,llrn la'er took over the nest of a pair of tree swallows. "He compic.eiy removed lhat swallow nest, feather by feather and straw by straw." Mrs. Logan wrote, "working almost frantically, .lumping in and out and not dropping the straw on the ground, but spitting it out so it flew in every direction. "There was no stopping him this time, even when a whole colony of tree swallows surrounded him and he is just about half their size. When this job was finished he started filling the nest with twigs and he and his mate are now nesting there. There seems to be no difference in the male and female as far as I can see and your description fits them exactly. I disliked them very much for moving our swallows out: even throwing two eggs out of the nest; but I must give them credit for sticking to an idea when they once get it. I call him "Percy'' for perscrverance. Every morning the swallow couple and some of their friends come back and sit on the perch and scold, but it bothers the little brown bird not at all." small drtuQnJer of Mr- and Mr. DfcVayn Mitchell. 5?3 West Jackson itrept. make certain lhat her jump rope is packed orior to th family's dpparture for Guam.

We were soon talking and discovered that both had lived in 1he Okanogan valley at one time. The young man said tht he now lived in San Francisco in order to study classical ballet with the Rusian teacher Paniaff. whose troupe danced in Medford a few seasons ago.

The institute said that for ; many years, such countries as I Italy, Germany, and Great Brit ain have had a larger propor : tion of working women than this country. And the margin ; still holds. ' The institute, citing statistics i from the "International Labor Review," said that the propor i tion of working women in Sweden is just a shade under ; the United States. In Austria, nearly half of the women have jobs or are looking ; for them. In Turkey, the pro portion is even higher. Close to i 75 per cent of her women are 1 in the labor force.

I By GAY PAULEY j United Press Correspondent j New York 'U.R'' If your'e an extreme in size, avoid the ex treme in fashion. "Aim for the happy medium," said Mrs. Adcle Simpson, a New York designer who herself is an extreme. She has to stretch to measure four feet, nine inches. For those sensitive about their height either the lack or excess of it. Mrs. Simpson offers this comfort: "I've always noticed people who are short or tall have dis tinct personalities. If you play down your clothes, the person ality has a chance to shine through." Mrs. Simpson, who is presi dent of the company which bears her name, offers several rules of dress for the non-average figure. No Floral Designs "Accent softness," she said. "Always modify any harsh sil houette. Short or tall, wear sim ple clothes. "Avoid patterns. This goes for vertical stripes on the short wom an, horizontal ones on the tall. Don't go in for floral designs." Don't wear clothes that in Mrs. I Simpson's words "cut you at the I mid-section." She said if you're determined to wear a contrasting skirt and blouse, select a skirt with wide cummerbund belt or sa.sh at the waist so the color division is two-thirds, one-third, not half and half. Mrs. Simpson said extremes in height are less obvious if the color scheme is monotone all beige, for example. "Put a tall girl in black or navy, top the works with a white hat and you only add to the height, because the hat auto matically draws the eye up wards," she explained. Watch Shoes She's opposed also 1o either extreme wearing fancy footw'ear: "The short woman is tempted to add height by wearing plat form soles. All they do is make her look club-footed. She should wear shoes that match or blend with her costume, no matter how small and shapely her feet are." The designer is a good exam ple of the rules she preaches for the short and tall. The day we talked with her, she wore a beige color scheme, head to toe, and her shoes were a classic, un trimmed pump in dark beige. Mrs. Simpson, incidentally, wears a size three and one-half shoe.
