Is That So?
Surely a bird banked against
the blue heaven, slicing air and
piling it up under outspread
wing, is one of the most sub
lime sights on earth.
To me, much of the beauty is
in the eficiency of the bird's fly
ing machine which depends not
only upon the complex motion
of wing, but also upon the very
shape of the bird and upon light
ness of the skeleton in which
feathers sometimes outweigh air

For mechanical efficiency con

After a 2,400 mile flight, non
stop, the bird arrived in South
America from Nova Scotia in
48 hours. And it had lost only
two ounces!
The machine which drives the
golden plover and all other
flight birds, of course, it the en
ormous breast muscle. But first,
the breast bone to which this
muscle is attached. Unlike a hu
man's which is small, flat, nar
row and confined to the region
of the chest, a bird's is long and
broad encompassing a good
share of the bird and reaching
from neck almost to the root of
the tail
As for the breast-muscle, this
powerful engine extends from
neck to tail and out to the tip
of each wing. In some species,
breast muscles outweigh all oth
er muscles combined.
Wing-Stroke Varies
Birds' wing-stroke varies: the
sparrow beats his about 13 times
a second; the swift, 10; the duck,
nine; the pigeon, eight; the
screech owl, five; the bluejay,
3 13; the heron and stork, two;
and the pelican is slowest with a
wingbeat averaging . 1 l16th
times a second.

Death of Picture
Star's Daughter
Blamed on Hunger
Hollywood (U.R) Televi
sion and film star Larry (Buster)
Crabbe Friday blamed the mys
terous death of his 20-year-old
daughter on the "subconscious
condition in her mind that -just
wouldn't let her eat."
Crabbe, a husky former U.S.
Olympic swimming champion,
told authorities his daughter,
Caren Lynn Crabbe, 20, appar
ently starved to death as a re
sult of an emotional disturbance
which made food distasteful to
her.
An attending physician was
quoted by police as saying the
swimmer's daughter, a graduate
of Marlborough School for Girls
and recently a student at the
University of Southern Californ
ia, apparently died after a five
week fast that left her weighing
only 60 pounds.
Hadn't Been Well
The girl died Wednesday at
the home of her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Held,
whose only comment was, "Car
en hadn't been well for some
time." Friends of the girl said
they were unable to explain the
case.
Crabbe and his wife rushed
here by plane from New York
after hearing of their daughter's
strange death.
. "We took her out of school
about a month ago because' she
was not strong enough to at
tend," he said. "She was emo
tionally disturbed and there just
didn't seem to be anything that
